21.
Mikey and Draken were in the hospital. They broke down, they didn't understand why it happened. Why someone close to their heart... Died.
Takemichi tried to reach them but for nothing. There was going to be a fight against Tenjiku tonight, and he promised to take care of everything, lead the fight and ensure Toman's victory. He promised them, but keeping that promise was much more difficult. When the fight was already going on, Hina, who was also in the hospital, approached the heartbroken Sano and stood in front of him. The girl also suffered, Emma was her friend, and so was Ami. The teenager wanted to talk to him, both of them.
"Can I talk to you for a moment...?" She looked at the broken Sano. "I think... I think Takemichi-kun was trying to save Emma-chan... And Ami-chan as well."
"You shouldn't be saying things like that right now!" Draken said. "Why is everyone acting so strange... First Takemichi, and now you too... What's wrong with you today?" Said devastated. "Damn... Better leave us alone..." He softened.
"It's not just about Emma-chan or Ami-chan..." Hina continued. "Takemichi is trying to save many people at the same time..." Said. "I'll die... In twelve years I'll die ..." She announced surprising the others.
The girl not so long ago overheard her boyfriend talking to himself, through his chatter, she found out that he can travel in time. She promised to forget about it, but now, she decided to tell them everything. Perhaps thanks to this, she'll be able to convince them.
"To prevent my death... Takemichi came here from the future. This may all sound like a load of crap, but it's true. You have seen his desperation for yourselves... He knows the future of each of us... And he wants to save us all." Said, which surprised her friends even more. "But I... I can't do anything for him... That's why I'm asking you for help." She said.
Hina's words motivated Mikey and Draken to act. The fight was already underway so the leaders had to hurry to get there. Sano was still worried about Ami, but figured her disappearance was also the result of Kisaki and Izana as well. He promised to find her and he would. He could only find answers in the people who had taken her from him.
Manjiro and Ken arrived at the scene, and then there was a big fight between the Sano brothers.
"Where is she?!" Mikey called, fighting. "It was your doing! You killed our sister! And you took Ami from me! Where is she?!"
"Don't you feel lonely right now, Mikey ?!" The older brother laughed. "Are you filled with emptiness?"
"You're wrong..." Sano said. "I still have a brother... And so do you..." He said gently. "It doesn't have to end this way. " He wanted to reason with him, save his family, but not everything turned out as Sano wanted.
Manjiro managed to distract his brother and Izana began to lose, but then Kisaki distracted them.
"Mikey!" He shouted and pulled the bound and beaten girl to him.
It was Ami. Blood was pouring from her head, she was badly hurt and was barely standing on her feet. Tetta held her tied with a rope, then pushed her down and made her kneel.
The sight of the beloved turned the blond's attention away from his brother, so now, it was Kurokawa who had the advantage.
"Let her go." Manjiro pleaded.
"Will you feel lonelier when I kill her in front of your eyes?!" The leader of the hostile gang laughed. "What's with you?!"
Kisaki put a gun to Kojima's head, which stopped Sano from delivering a blow.
"What are you gonna do now, Mikey?" Tetta looked at the younger brother.
"Don't hesitate, Mikey!" Ami said. "Don't worry about me. You have to win." After these words, Kisaki hit her in the face and the girl fell to the ground.
"Stop it, Kisaki!" Draken shouted, wanting to help his friend. "Let her go!"
"Give it to me, Kisaki!" Izana took the eyepiece man's gun and pointed it at Mikey.
"No!" Kojima screamed.
"If you don't want to change..." Older brother said to a relative. "If you're not Shinichiro... I'll just kill you."
"Try it." Manjiro replied indifferently. "Pull the trigger."
"Don't provoke him, Mikey!" Ken yelled.
"Pull the trigger and see how you feel about it?!" Sano screamed. "Come on, Izana!"
Kurokawa wanted to pull the trigger but someone interrupted him. It was Kakucho, one of his gang members and a close friend at the same time. The boy wanted to reason with him and he was already succeeding when suddenly there was a bang and Kakucho was injured. It was Kisaki's doing again, the eyepiece shot at him, and when he was about to finish him, Izana covered him with his body and fell to the ground with him.
"Mikey..." He looked at his brother standing next to him. "So you wanted to save me?" Asked weakly.
"Of course..." Sano replied sadly, checking with Ami at the same time, and when he saw that Draken had released her, he was immediately relieved. "You are my brother, Izana."
"Brother..." He smiled, tears welling up in his eyes.
Kurokawa took his last breath after a long moment and left this world.
Mikey held back his tears and then ran to his beloved sitting next to Draken.
"Ami..." He knelt beside her and took her in his arms.
Kojima was barely alive but nevertheless she returned the blond's gesture and cuddled up to him.
"Manji..." She cried.
"It's okay..." Sano stroked her head. "I'm sorry you had to go through this." He whispered brokenly.
"I-is that true...?" She asked uncertainly. "E-Emma-chan is...?"
Mikey didn't answer anything, and Annie already guessed the answer and began to cry loudly, cuddling even more with her boyfriend.
After that, everything happened just as quickly. Kisaki tried to escape but Takemichi and Draken didn't let him. Hanagaki had a fight with him, which he won. Tetta died. But was his death the end of trouble?
Annie ended up in the hospital, her condition was serious, but the most important thing was that she was alive. Mikey, on the other hand, couldn't forgive himself that his girlfriend was in such a state because of him. The boy made a rather painful decision, but he thought it would be for the best.
"Are you sure?" Draken asked. "But... You love her..."
"Mm." Sano nodded sadly. "That's why I have to do it." Said and entered the hospital.
After a long moment he was in the room where his girlfriend was lying.
"Manji..." Kojima was glad, she wanted to get up but her wounds prevented her from doing so.
Sano approached her with his head bowed, he didn't dare to meet her eyes.
"Manji...?" She whispered. "What..."
"Ami..." He interrupted her weakly. "I came here today to..." He hesitated, then sighed heavily. "To tell you something..."
"Why don't you look at me?" She asked. "Won't you even take my hand? Manji... What's going on?" Girl got scared. "I'm starting to fear what you want to say..."
"Ami." He interrupted her again. "We ..." Man stammered, then clenched his hands and still didn't dare to look at her. "We come from two different worlds..." Said, and his words terrified the teenager even more. "We are different... " He said sadly. "W'-we... We're not made for each other."
"Manji..." Kojima wanted to interfere, but Sano didn't let her.
"It can't happen again ..." Leader continued. "I won't let that happen again... You deserve a lot more, and this... It should never happen... We... We should never be together, it shouldn't have happened."
"Eh?" She couldn't believe his words.
"It was a mistake." Mikey said. "A mistake I need to fix now."
"Manji, no... Please..." Ami wanted to take his hand, but he shook her away and still didn't look at her.
"It has to stop..." He tried to control his sad voice. "Let's end this..." Said in a heartbeat. "I should've done this sooner... I'm sorry." He turned his back to her. "Goodbye... Annie..." Sano said, moving towards the exit.
"Mikey!" She called after him. "Come back! Don't do this, I'm begging you!" She screamed, but he didn't stop. "Don't go! Manjiro! " She threw the drip in his direction, which was lying on the table next to her, but even that didn't stop the leader.
Sano left her room, tears streaming down his cheeks that the girl couldn't see.
Annie started to cry and swear at the blond boy, when after a while her aunt came inside and hugged her niece.
"What happened...?" She began, but Kojima didn't let her finish.
"That bastard will pay me for this..." Ami cried and cuddled up to her relative. "As soon as I get out of the hospital... Manji, I'll just get you!" She cursed at him.
