the king is now leading his own empire.
Y/n's Point Of View
my vision had been blurred ever since i've woke up. and all i could find is i was lying in an empty room. my heartbeat immediately dropped when i clearly remember what had happened the last time before i blacked out.
i could feel my hands shaking as i was eaten in fear and some mixed emotions that i couldn't explain. am i happy now that i've already seen him? how about it though? why does it feel so bad for me? he's not the same mikey anymore just like in the old times.
he's more dominant right now. he leads the most of all gangs and he could defeat anyone who will crossed his line. and that's what i was thinking right now.
why would he kidnap and captured me?
the thought of mikey killing me made some tears formed in my eyes. why would he kill me, though?
from the first 2 years of my life, all i could was doing some research, asking questions from other people where he is. i was dying to find him all over the tokyo, even if it cost my whole life. but all of it ...
was just useless.
the door finally creaks open, making my adrenaline rushed through my veins. i was raggedly breathing, panicking inside. i still couldn't face him yet. after what he did on his friends, hurting them and neglecting them, and especially my feelings for him.
i was so expectantly to meet him but my heart stopped for a while when i saw the pink-haired guy who's standing behind the door. his eyes captured mine, making my entire veins shookt in fear.
he was dangerous. when the first i laid my eye on him two years ago, that same look never subsided my fear.
but ...
if my strength could use all of this fear, i already did it where i can save myself.
"look what's going on now, missy." a small smirk appear on corner of his scarred lips. that scarred lips reminds me of something, like someone intentionally did it ... and what i thought was it was hurtful.
but i just found myself admiring from those.
"what do you want with me? " i cleared my throat to push all away my fear. i tried to be sound assertive, because i don't want them to see my weakness anymore. it's making my life more miserable ... even in the past.
"interesting." his small smile with me now turned into a dark ones, his expression shifting in a serious mode. my heart couldn't stop racing right now, like it will burst out from my body in a second.
"why'd the heck did mikey want from me?" now, it was too straightforward for me to ask. the silence got more louder inside this cold and empty room as he didn't answer my question.
"just ... what are you trying to do with me? " i almost made my voice crack. i couldn't help but clenched my fist tightly. it's too frustrating. why do he left me and then confidently captured me like nothing just happened past years ago?
"just why?! " i screamed through my heart out as tears started to gather in my eyes. it echoed through the whole room. it was so loud that it's the first time i'd ever scream infront of anyone.
the anger seeping right through me was kicking in, the sadness and betrayal made me remember most of the time how he neglected us.
"boss ... wanted to talk to you."
as i heard sanzu said that, you heard a footsteps coming near towards the room.
my heart started to pound furiously, like i couldn't breathe for any minute. sweats trickled down my forehead and my throat begin to dry. the heavy aura upcoming and seeping through my soul was too intense.
i just found sanzu shift onto the door and let the door swung open with the person letting in inside.
it's mikey.
his deep, dark onyx eyes pierced down through my soul. his stares weakened me already. it wasn't the same as how i met those eyes first.
"w-why, mikey, why? " my voice became smaller and smaller, holding out a sob as i got on my knees, letting him dominate the whole scene. his stares are powerful to the point that it was killing me mentally and emotionally.
"why are you affliated with brahman? " was all he said. he didn't even bother to answer my question. i couldn't answer those questions properly.
"then why are you taking me right — "
"answer my question first." my blood rushed cold when i heard the darkness on his tone. i could feel my shaking hands getting clammy as i try to hide it. the silence began to bargain us again when sanzu didn't try to hear our conversations anymore. he left us the two and here am i, begging for my whole life not to be left with this man infront of me. i still couldn't believe that i already met him.
i feel too suffocated right now.
"you broke your promise."
my eyes widened on his words.
"𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴, 𝘮𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘺... 𝘪 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵. 𝘪 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦."
"promise?" mouth agaped, i couldn't find words to talk for a while, but then interrupted by the anger still fulfilling inside my heart. "when you're the one who broke it? "
our eyes met for the second time. i couldn't find any expression on him. i expect that he will yell or hurt me for the time i said that but he just stared at me blankly, with his hands are on his pockets.
"you left me, us. everything. you left everything without an ounce of sympathy. even your grandpa, whose now dead ... still suffering because he didn't see his one and only grandson left inside their house. and now, you're telling me that i broke our fucking promise? no. but it was you who did it! i was finding you everywhere but can't you feel it, mikey? you're nowhere to be found. " i was catching my breath, eyes blurred with so much tears. it was too much for me to spill everything but he needed to know what i feel right now.
he was a pain. and seeing him right now in a state where we were strangers was so new to me. i couldn't feel his kindness in everything.
all i could see is darkness.
"did i tell you to find me everywhere?"
it was like his words slapped me harder. that made my heart broke into pieces. it was the first time his words daggers through me. i was left speechless.
"did i tell you to chase me away?" my throat was hurting as i forced myself not to cry or sob infront of him. the mikey i knew couldn't make anyone hurt or cry. he was once a carefree and kind person who stood up for everyone.
what made him changed into like this?
"if you didn't want me to chase you, then why am i here?" it's pathetic for me to ask those question but to the fact that my suspicion kills and bothers me. "what's your motive, mikey? " i sucked my breathe out, my tears falls down on my cheek.
he turned away from me, his broad nad powerful shoulders together with his kantou manji gang uniform was making me unbelievable to believe.
just how fast the night changes when mikey turned out to be like this.
"you are a burden in every gang's business."
WHAT?
his words turned my blood even raised in anger.
"what is really wrong with you?! this isn't you anymore! what did i do to make you like this?! am i a burden?! " finally, i stood up with all my courage and with my compulsion, i harshly grabbed his arms which makes me regretted doing it.
i was slammed shut on the wall, with my back hit first. it was too fast that i couldn't react.
"should i be happy after what had happened?" he said furiously as he was too unreadable already. i froze in a sudden fear. i couldn't look at his deadly eyes now. he locked my way with his two hands on the wall that made some shivers down through my spine.
the jacket that was hanging on his shoulder was now on the floor and i could feel how his heavy breath fanning on my neck.
"you don't understand me, y/n. everyone didn't understand me." he grabbed my chin making me face himself. it wasn't too harsh but it's enough force for me too look straightly at him. it was so terrifying to see this personality of mikey that i've never seen before.
and it hits me.
"remember this. everyone who define my patience will be the death of him. and don't make me wait to show it." i could feel it. he's serious. my knees wobble and my whole body weakened. i couldn't find any words to talk but all i could feel is shocked, anger, and pain.
he silently left me inside that room without any mercy.
i let out a sob. it was the only sound i could hear besides the defeaning silence inside that cold room.
that day, it was the time that i knew the truth. the dark side of him that i never knew. and i wish that i didn't interfere any of this.
but i will never give up for this.
mikey saved me.
and now, it's my time to save him.
i need to know the truth behind this.

Third Person's Point Of View
a tall man who had just been freed after 2 years inside that jail was now having his time to move from his mission. his black undercut hair was now more messier, and there's no earring that was exposed on his ear. his jawline was now more prominent and he's gotten more mature, after staying inside that jail.
holding a bag on his side, the police officer silently let him out of the door. inhaling the fresh scent of air, his mouth just agaped. mesmerizing the day that he's freed from all the mistakes he made from the past.
the day he's been waiting for ...
"congratulations, katsurou kiyoshi! don't ever do bad things again kid! " the police pfficer congratulated him after 2 years inside that juvenile.
a small smile appeared on his lips, "noted, sir."
katsurou kiyoshi was been freed after 2 years. it was his new luck. a new beginning for him to change himself. he promised that everything will be new about him.
and he would never do anything for anyone to hurt them.
dressed in a gray dress-shirt, with a bag on his shoulder, everyone else who passed down on him will stopped and look at his features. it was an awestruck for someone who had just been in jail had glowed-up so much. and for katsurou, there's just one reason why he did that ...
forgiveness.
after what happened 2 years ago in that kantou incident, he will never bother y/n again. it's a shame for him that everything was too delusional. he's forcing y/n to love him even though they're not meant to be. but the truth behind that is he was just stuck on loneliness.
stuck that he suffered so much ever since he was a kid. no one ever loves him even when his parents. his parents become an evil, doing things so illegal that they abducted someone else's child ... and it was y/n. he found out that y/n was the child of his parent's rivals on business and that's when their mind turned things go out wrong.
as a seek of revenge, they kidnapped the child ever since it was a baby and they land somewhere else in japan that no one could ever seen what they did, and here they are in tokyo.
with that, as y/n grew up, katsurou's parents became abusive and that's when they started to neglect the two of them. his dad goes out to cheat while his mom gotten into a gambling addiction. and it was too much for him to take, that's why he fell into depression. he was bullied, beaten, and even being so weak for not being too strong.
but before that, one day, he was beaten by some middle-school guys in the alley when someone had beat them too. and it was none other than manjiro sano or the invicibke mikey.
years later after that, he was now in a powerful gang named 'tokyo manji gang' where he could dominate all of the people who tries to defy him. and that darkness he summoned within his heart make him wanted to get revenge for the people who had hurted him too.
that's when he started to hurt y/n who was so aloof on him. it angers him more seeing her ignoring him all the time, and that's when something came into his mind to tame her so-called little sister.
it was too heavy for katsurou to handle, when he uncontrollably beat her inside their house whenever she's at home late. after he would beat her, he will dragged himself into his room and cry. cry because of sadness and pain as to why did he suffer all of this.
and now, he regretted it so much that he wanted to curse himself. he realize what he had done was so fucked up, and it will gave y/n a wound to the past.
he wanted to talk to her for the last time before he was admited to juvie, but then he was too hopeless when he saw y/n's body pooling on her own blood. that's when he felt a great conscience for the first time. feeling pity by putting his problem into her that will never be her fault also.
after he was sent into juvie, he was too shocked when mikey had visited him. he thought that everything was already fine when he heard the news that y/n was alive ...
but he was wrong.
he had just heard from some of guards gossiping about the three dieties gangs that scattered along the tokyo. they were feared from most of all especially when some of them was more blunt and they were those people who was also part of the kantou incident.
katsurou knows that the former tenjiku members are part of it, and he can't deny that their new leader was fearsome for all.
he took out a sigh, probably don't know where to go as he didn't knew someone who can help him where to live temporarily.
a buzz vibrated inside his pocket that caugt his attention. for some reason, it maybe a bad luck as he was avoiding south hiring him in their group.
but it wasn't south who called him.
it was someone who helped him a many years ago on his debt.
he immediately picked up the call and push the green button.
"katsurou!" a feminine voice was heard in the caller, a hint of distress was evident on her voice.
"yeah, what is it, senju? " his forehead scrunched up as to why she's calling right now. if it about their gangs or the war of three dieties, he didn't care about it anymore.
"don't bother me anymore on what's happening with — "
"i-it's y/n, okay! he's been abducted! " his jaw almost dropped on the floor.
for the last 2 years, he didn't have any news about her except that she's livin' the best on her family inside mikey's former household that his grandpa used to sold for. that's the latest information he'd known so far but ...
why is she kidnapped?
he's hesitating right now, wether if it's right to help her or not ... not because of the problem he'd cost for her and the trauma but for the past 2 years, the guilt still eaten him. what if y/n still hate him? or maybe pushed him in the first place of helping her?
"katsu! are you listening?! " senju shouted on the other line making him awakened from his thoughts.
"no. i can't. i can't help her." was all he said with a heavy sight. deep inside, his heart was throbbing and his mind was begging to helped the girl whom he loved the most.
"what?! you are still his brother! you have the right to save her! even in what you did from the past, it doesn't deny the fact that you still love her — "
"stop it, senju." the sense of guiltiness was found on his expression. he just got out on the jail and now, he's been hanged on another mission again.
"you don't understand me. "
"no! you're the one who don't understand everything here. y/n was kidnapped none other by mikey! and you're the only one who can save her! "
his eyes immediately widened, shocked at the sudden reveal. his hands tighten on the phone he's holding, the fear in his heart was now seeping through. and the possibility that y/n would get hurt again by a dangerous man named mikey has a bigger chance for her from being vulnerable.
"it is so fucked out right now! south was also threathening us that they will also recruit her as a pat of the gang — "
"just ... what the fuck is happening after 2 years?? " he couldn't help but to feel anger risen inside his body. he's not present outside for 2 freaking years and right now, the problem has gotten worse.
and what's worse is that y/n became the center of all the danger.
"i can explain, katsurou. please! we really need your help." her voice are shaky and desperate. it was also the first time that he heard senju's feared voice. that girl never been afraid of everything the time katsurou met her.
he heaved a sighed again, shaking his head in devastation.
'this isn't good as hell'. he thought to himself.
