Chifuyu was free to go today, so he quickly changed his clothes, that was provided for him by the doctor, wearing Kazutora's Valhalla jacket on top
Ever since he thought Kazutora died, he would always wear the latter's gang jacket, thinking that he won't be able to see him again
Chifuyu approaches the doctor as he fixes his clothes, once he steps out of the bathroom, raising a brow when he noticed how nervous the doctor is
"Is something wrong?"he asked not taking his eyes off of the doctor
"It's about Tora-kun.."the doctor starts off, Chifuyu who knew what this meant, immediately asked
"What room is he in?"he asked already on the move towards the door
"Follow me, please"the doctor walks towards the door
Chifuyu follows behind him, not mentally prepared to face the others yet, or even know if Kazutora successfully saves Baji, he wouldn't blame him if he couldn't, after all.. Chifuyu was at fault for stalling him, when he was supposed to be in the fight
Arriving in the said room, Toman captains, Takemichi and Kazu was waiting in front of the room, who immediately approached the doctor once they saw him, Chifuyu took this as a chance to head inside the room, since they haven't noticed him yet
Closing the door, he took a deep breath before turning around to face Kazutora, who's unconscious on the hospital bed, he just looks like he's sleeping because of how peaceful he looks
Chifuyu approached the bed and sat on the stool beside it, holding Kazutora's hand, he smiles as he starts to cry
"You.. You did it.."he muttered as he wipes his tears with his other arm
He saw Baji beside Kazutora's past self before he entered the room, probably comforting him, his past self meanwhile, was beside Takemichi, who doesn't look so good, he looks at Kazutora's face and squeezed his hand
"You did it, Tora.."he muttered again with a smile on his face
He held Kazutora's hand with both of his, thanking the male over and over again, he couldn't help but feel worried, after all.. Even though he hated him at first, he still felt bad, specially after knowing what Kazutora's been through
He was just misunderstood and traumatized to the point that he didn't know how to handle his own emotions, Kazutora just wanted someone to be by his side and Chifuyu filled that spot after Baji's death, Chifuyu made sure Kazutora won't feel alone again, that's why he would always reassure Kazutora about things
Specially whenever he did something wrong or thought that he did something wrong, Chifuyu could describe Kazutora as a child trapped in a man's body, because of how easy Kazutora gets excited or happy, upon seeing little things that surprised and amazed him
He only knew a few things about Kazutora's childhood, since Kazutora himself doesn't like to talk about it, Chifuyu could only imagine what he's been through, he won't pry on the matter because he didn't want Kazutora to feel uncomfortable, waiting for him to share it on his own, once he was comfortable
The doctor entered the room, Chifuyu didn't need to turn around to know that the gang was still outside because of Mitsuya's voice trying to calm Takemichi and Kazu down
"He's stable.. He'll wake up soon, we'll need to check him again tomorrow"the doctor informs
Chifuyu nods before turning to him"Tell them they can enter if they want to"he spoke, referring to the gang outside
The doctor nods before leaving the room, a few seconds later.. The door opened to reveal Takemichi and his past self, slowly entering the room, Baji, Kazu and the others, following closely behind, the gang was surprised to see him in the room, they didn't see him enter when the doctor came
"Eto.."Takemichi starts off looking at him
Chifuyu turns to them with a smile"You must be michi.."he smiles
"Who are you?"Mikey asked, Draken nudged him on the side, making him glare at the tall male
"Fuyuhiko, nice to finally meet you"Chifuyu smiles at them, faking his name to avoid suspicion"I heard a lot about you guys"he adds
"Wait! Are you the person nii-san calls Fuyu?"Takemichi asked surprised, the gang was confused, while Kazu looks at him
Chifuyu nods"I guess he wasn't kidding when he said he met Toman"he chuckled, to lighten the mood in the room
The gang could only stay silent, Chifuyu looks at the clock on the wall before he stood up"Anyone up for lunch?"he asked
"We should go.."Mitsuya spoke looking at the others
"It's alright, I told them to let you guys stay"he informs looking at them
He saw how uncertain they were"I insist.. Stay here, I'll be right back"he informs before leaving the room
The group could only watch him leave, taking note of the jacket that he's wearing
"Is he part of Valhalla?.."Takemichi muttered, wondering if Fuyu was part of Valhalla
The gang heard him, they then look at Kazu, who also didn't know how, he's sure Fuyu was not in the gang, and the jacket can't belong to Tora, since he didn't join the gang
In the end.. The gang stayed, Chifuyu came back and gave them food, surprising them, when he knows what they like
"Is it true you were in a gang before?"Takemichi asked, not wanting the atmosphere to look awkward, the others then looks at Chifuyu, who nods
"Yeah, I kinda miss it though.."Chifuyu looks at them
Its true.. That he misses it, he misses the times when Kisaki wasn't in the picture, when Baji was still alive, when the gang was mostly just starting brawls with other gangs
"What gang were you in?.."his past self asked
Kazutora told him about this, apparently, he told them a few lies, along with a few truths, to make their story believable, he won't blame him though, he just has to roll with it for now
"I'd rather not say.."he looks over at Mikey before at Baji and Kazu
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, the others couldn't even look at Chifuyu in the eye, while he was focusing on Kazu, wanting to talk to him in private
"Eto.. Can you tell us how you two met?"Takemichi asked, trying to change the subject
Chifuyu caught up to what he was trying to do and nodded"I met him through our mutual friend, we weren't exactly friendly with each other before.. You could say we hated each other"he chuckles
Part of it was true, since he hated how Baji choose to die for Kazutora's sake, when there was clearly another way for them to save him, but he wouldn't blame the male
"We thought the three of us will spend the rest of our lives together, but the both of us clearly didn't see it coming.."Chifuyu glanced at Kazutora
"What happened?.."his past self asked, clearly intrigued by his story
"Our friend died trying to save him, he clearly didn't take it well and would always need to be reminded that it wasn't his fault. He blamed himself for something he didn't have any control over.."he explains, it was true though, Kazutora was manipulated into killing his friend, but he can't clearly tell them that
"I'm sorry for asking.."Takemichi looks at him
"It's fine.. It was in the past"Chifuyu dismissed"It's nice to finally meet his siblings"he turns to Takemichi and Kazu
The gang, who didn't know about this looks at the two in surprise, Takemichi nods, while Kazu can't look at Chifuyu in the eye
"What?!"Chifuyu's past self and Baji turns to the two, who nervously nodded
Chifuyu smiles at this, it was nice to see that Baji's alive and well, though he won't forgive himself if Kazutora dies, he admits he wants Baji to live, but if in exchange, Kazutora dies, he'd rather go back to the future, where it was just the two of them
Because maybe, just maybe.. Baji was one of the reasons why they met each other, even though their first meeting wasn't exactly appealing to say the least
He grew fond of the male, more so than he intended, Kazutora was not that bad, he just has a hard time expressing himself, specially if he's put on the spot, its one of the traits Chifuyu likes about him
Kazutora was always nervous when Chifuyu approached him at first, since he probably thinks Chifuyu hates him, which wasn't a lie, but that was before
Looking back at the group, Chifuyu smiles before looking at Kazutora 'You did it..' he thought with a smile
The gang left the hospital at night, since family relatives were the only ones who can stay overnight, and also because their parents will probably look for them
Chifuyu and Takemichi were outside the room, wanting to talk about the future, Chifuyu also needed to know what Kazutora has been doing
"Eto.. You're also from the future?"Takemichi asked and he nods
"Chifuyu Matsuno.. Nice to meet you again, aibo"he smiles while Takemichi looks at him surprised
"Ehh?!.. Chifuyu?!"Takemichi asked and he nods
"I heard you can time travel, that's kinda cool if you ask me"Chifuyu places an arm around him with a smile on his face
"Ye-Yeah.. I'm kinda not believing it myself still.."Takemichi blurted out as he looks at Chifuyu
"Don't hesitate to ask for our help, all right?"Chifuyu looks at him"We want to help you"he adds
Chifuyu knew his past self will probably make Takemichi the first division captain, while Baji will become an executive in Toman, Kazutora told him about the events being changed in some way, Takemichi will probably see him die once he goes back, that was the last time Chifuyu was in the present or their supposed future
He'll have to tell Kazutora to not let Takemichi go back to the past, to prevent Takemichi from seeing him die, not wanting to dump trauma onto him
The next day, the two teens weren't in the hospital because Mikey called them, saying they have to attend the meeting, Chifuyu thinks its probably about Kazu joining Toman, while Takemichi replaces Baji
Looking at Kazutora, he places his hand on top of his and leaned on the bed, using his other arm as a pillow
"Wake up.."he muttered
He might not admit it, but ever since he picked up Kazutora from juvie, he started caring for him, at first he did it for Baji, but as time passed by, he started caring for him without thinking that he's only doing it for Baji
Chifuyu admits, it was selfish of him to only help Kazutora because it was what Baji wanted, but in the end, he got rid of that mindset
His train of thoughts were interrupted when he felt Kazutora's hand move, looking at the male in shock, Kazutora slowly opens his eyes, immediately noticing Chifuyu beside him, he smiled, while Chifuyu stood up and hugged him, surprising him
"Hey.. I'm glad you're all right"Kazutora spoke as he wraps his arms around Chifuyu, placing one of his hand on Chifuyu's head
"Don't do that, I thought I'll lose you too"Chifuyu muttered, Kazutora frowned at this
He didn't mean to make him worry, it was the only thing he could think of when he saw his past self running towards Baji holding a knife, after all.. He did promise him that he'll save Baji this time
"Gomen.. I won't do it again"Kazutora muttered
"You better!"Chifuyu let's go of the hug and looks at him in the eye
"Where's the others?"Kazutora asked, noticing Chifuyu was the only one in the room
"They're holding a meeting"Chifuyu explains"Takemichi's probably gonna be first division captain, while you're past self will join Toman"he adds
"Is Baji okay?"Kazutora asked
"He's fine, he was more worried for you than himself.. Specially after that stunt you pulled"Chifuyu gives him a look, as if saying to never do it again
"That's great to hear"Kazutora sighs in relief
"I'll get you food, the doctor will probably check on you while I'm gone.."Chifuyu informs as he stands up from his seat
"Alright.. Stay safe"Kazutora smiles at him
Chifuyu nods before leaving the room, Kazutora looks out of the window with a smile on his face
'I'm glad you're alive, Baji' he thought before looking at the clock on the wall, to see how long he was asleep since he forgot to ask Chifuyu

Hello hello~ sorry I take so long to update
My schedule when it comes to these kinds of things are inconsistent .-.
Also because I'm working on my other books, I don't really know where my brain gets these ideas
If you don't know about my other books feel free to give them a read, all I could say is.. I mostly or will be publishing books in the future centering around crossovers from manhwa to manhwa, anime to anime or manwha to anime etc.
Depending if I could come up with a great plot and ending for it, I'm probably almost finished with one of my books, just gotta write and think over the ending again before finalizing it : D
Anyways.. Thanks for 5k reads ♡
Wow~ you guys are fast ●_●
