(TRIGGER WARNING:SWEARING)
Takemichi Pov
After I shake my hands with Naoto I went back to the present.
"You leaped through time!" A boy who look like a mature version of Naoto and also a guy said that he is Naoto said to me.
"Ha-a" I looked around. So I'm still alive and those things that happened was real.
"Takemichi-kun with your time leap, change the future" he said with a determined face.
"12 years ago you said to me that I should protect my sister so I became a detective in order to protect her" he said and I got some hope.
"T-then where is Tachibana?" I asked desperately. "Im sorry Takemichi-kun but my sister died"he said regretfully as if he is the one who killed Hina-chan.
Then he looked at me with determined eyes. Again.
"Please help me so we can save my sister" he said with determination. I gulp at his determined and serious gaze.
"I.... I can save T-tachibana?" I stuttered. Not really him but myself.
2 days later.
Naoto explained to me what does my ability can do but this guy.
This guy is cruel. He doesn't let get even just a wink of sleep. He basically drilled Toman's information on my skull.
"Is this really necessary to save Tachibana" I asked as I yawned. Forcing my heavy eyes on the computer screen.
Let me sleep!
But this guy didn't replied instead he started mumbling. How am I gonna understand that when my brain and body is about to shut down.
Please Naoto. Let me get some sleep.
"Please go back to the past and stop the meeting of those two certain people. Sano Manjiro and Kisaki Tetta they are the leader of Toman. If those didn't meet then the current Toman wouldn't exist and drag my sister and got killed" he explained.
So that's it huh. Im just gonna prevent those two from meeting. Sano Manjiro and Kisaki Tetta huh? They look so scary. How am I gonna face those two person when even if in picture they managed to scare the hell out of me.
And we talked more and soon enough I asked him.
"How am I gonna go back to the past?" I asked him. "Your time leaping has a trigger. When we shake our hands" he replied.
"Then shake hands with me. Maybe I am part of your ability since you save me" he added and looked at me.
"Are you ready?" He asked and I looked at him. He became a detective just to protect his sister well then I won't lose to you Naoto.
I will also save Tachibana.
I nodded. "Yeah"
He explained to me when will Kisaki arrived I nodded my head and he offered his hands.
"Please save my sister Takemichi-kun" I just nodded and accepted his hands and I feel like my soul left my body to possessed someone's body.
"COME ON!"
"LET'S DO THIS"
"FUCKING FIGHT!"
"Huh?"
Shout were heard and I can't still processed what the hell is happening.
"HUHH?! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" I shouted,confused as I started rambling on my pocket to reach my phone.
"Wait a minute" I hastily requested and checked the date. July 6. Im busy being surprised on how Naoto figured out my ability that I got a good punch in the face.
~~~
And when I woke up I remembered what happened. I just happened to got punched and instant knock out.
"You motherfucker got K.O. We bet pur money on yah. Yah know? Ain't that right Kiyomasa?" He asked the guy who is busy counting money with a cigarette on the mouth.
Underground fighting?
And of course being their slave they beat me up since I got lose so is their money.
"COME ON"
"I'MA BEAT YAH MOTHERFUCKER"
"YOU LAME ASSHOLE"
After a minute of stepping harshly on my back.
"Let's go"
"Try hard next time"
"Tch"
And I stood up and tried to talk to Kiyomasa about being able to meet Sano Manjiro or Kisaki Tetta.
"Bring me my bat"
I shuddered when he looked at me and the last thing I know it like I look like a turtle now and he keep hitting me on my back with a bat repeatedly.
"H-hey shouldn't we stop him?"
"Yeah he is basically killing him"
"OI KIYOMASA CAREFUL!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!"
Blood splattered on my face and sand I feel a foot nudging me basically waking me up.
"Oi wake up"
"Ahh... Uah... Ugh"
"Next time I heard that mouth of yours talk about Sano Manjiro. I'll kill you" he threatened me.
Ah.
SCAAAARRRRRYYY
Its impossible Naoto. I can't even talk to them properly. How can I even get in touch with the Toman's leader?
Im walking down on the street ignoring how people will look at me with disgust or pity. I don't give a damn about them.
I want to run away. I will always be me. A useless Takemichi but I can still go back home. I'm just gonna shake my hands with Naoto right?
I am here in front of Tachibana's household ringing the bell hoping it'll be Naoto who will open up. When I stopped.
Am I gonna run away again?
"Hanagaki-kun?" A familiar sweet angelic melodious voice filled my ears. "Eh Tachibana why are you here?" I mentally facepalm at my own question.
"Huh? This is my house" she replied. "R-right" I nodded. And she nags again about me involving with fight and her hoping that if only she's a boy.
"If only I am strong as Y/n-chan" she added making me look at her. Huh? Is Y/n getting into a fight. Is that why sometimes she'll go back with some faint bruise and giving a magazine so I shouldn't asked.
"You don't know? She keep protecting me when you're not around and I know that she is secretly beating them outside of school" she smiled. "Y/n is awesome" she giggled and I nodded.
And we laughed and I accidentally called her Hina-chan and we both stopped and fortunately she allowed me to do it.
Soon enough I went back to my place and there I saw her. My cousin. I wonder what she'll be like in the future?
I just hope she wont involve in this mess. "Go clean yourself and I'll aid you after eating your dinner" she commanded and read her book and I nodded and I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself and went to the kitchen.
"How was school?" I asked and she looked at as if she knows something. I sweat dropped. It is always been her eyes ever since we met. Her eyes that saying she knows everything that is happening and her eyes that will look at you sometimes filled with emotions sometimes just an empty look.
'Just what are you my dear cousin?'
"It was fine. Kinda boring but fun" she replied and started to prepare the kits. I washed the dish and she tapped a space beside her.
"Have you been on fights?" I asked and she didn't look shocked. "How about you?" She asked back. "But we're talking about you" I replied and she snickered.
"Yes. But just minimal and besides I can protect myself" she replied and applied something on my foot. "Does it hurt?" She asked and I nodded. "Did you try to run away?" She asked and I was stunned.
"Takemichi, running away won't solve anything yah know. It'll only make things worse and just for this you'll run away what much more in the future?" She shook her as if she's a disappointed big sister.
I chuckled and ruffle her hair. "Don't yah worry I wont" I replied and she smiled softly.
"Turn around" she commanded me and obliged. "Lift your shirt up" she added I did. And started rubbing some ointment on my back.
"Say Takemichi. Endure it for awhile will yah? Promise something good will happen soon" she said. "I know what has been happening Takemichi and you just proved me how much do you love Hina-chan. You're rare yah know" she giggled and I chuckled.
"You're both lucky to have each other"she added. And my eyes widened. "What do mean by you know what has been happening?" I asked as she pulled down my shirt and I turn around to face her.
She smiled, how should I explain this kind of smile. A smile with different vibes?
"That's for me to know and you to find out" she winked and started to clean the mess.
"Just what are you hiding Ryoka Y/n?" I whispered as I looked at her figure who busy cleaning.
