*PRESENT*

After meeting her old friend, Annie returned to the Bonten hideout.

"How's your job, Koko?" She asked seeing a friend sitting behind the desk.

"Since you showed up, much better, princess." He bared his teeth.

"So you were lazy when I was away?" She stood in front of him.

"Absolutely." Man shook his head and showed his tongue at which girl laughed.

"Come on, Koko." She moved forward. "Just be careful not to let your head overheat."

"Mm, I love you for that charming sarcasm of yours." He smiled.

"Oya? Better not let the boss hear it, or you'll die on the spot." She laughed.

"Hai, hai, I want to live a little longer." Koko replied, still amused.

"Mm, you better go meet your Inupi." Ami smiled significantly, and her words caught his attention.

"I hate you." He shook his head.

"But I love you ." She laughed, stuck her tongue out at him and walked away.

Kojima went to the elevator and then left it on the appropriate floor, and this time she came across someone else.

"Hello, Snow White." Sanzu called with a smile. "How's your day?" He waved the gun and swallowed the pill, which he was holding in his free hand.

"Fine." She replied and passed her friend and patted him on the back. "How's your fun?" She looked at the bound hostages that Sanzu was about to kill.

"Lovely." He laughed.

"Mm, have fun." She said. "Mikey is there?"

"Yes. Did you tell him about Hanagaki?" Man asked.

"I'm gonna do it right now."

"Join me later, I have more fun with you, tormenting people like these." He waved his weapon at them against terrified faces.

"Next time, Sanzu." She looked at him with a smile.

"You promise?" He bared his teeth.

"Hai, I promise." Woman nodded her head and entered the room, and a moment later she heard shots and Sanzu's laughter, which meant good fun with his task.

Kojima walked through the corridor, and after a long moment she found the leader she was looking for.

"It took you a long time."

"Yeah, I'm sorry." She sighed coming up to the boy sitting on the bed. "I had to arrange something else." She sat down next to him and kissed Sano on the cheek.

"Something happened?" He glanced at her.

"Not really..." She said rather hesitantly. "But there's something I need to tell you." She looked at him again. "Takemitchy's back. And he's looking for us..." Said, and Manjiro sighed heavily.

"Did you met with him?" Sano asked.

"Just for a moment." Girl admitted. "To warn him. I told him to leave us alone, but I'm not sure he'll listen."

"Ehh..." He sighed and then lay down on the bed. "Another problem, huh?"

"We'll solve it as well as the rest." She lay down next to him. "You should rest more..." She said brushing his fair hair with her hand. "I'm worried about you." She leaned on his torso.

"Don't worry." He hugged her. "I'm fine." Man assured her and smiled faintly then took her hair behind her ear. "I'll rest another time, now there's work to do."

"You want me to take care of this?" She asked, drawing little circles on his torso.

"Not now." He brought her closer to him and hugged her more tightly. "Now I want you to myself." Said causing her to smile and then joined their lips in a passionate kiss.

The boy leaned over her deepening the kiss she returned. Ami took his face in her hands while his hand rested on her waist. They both continued their previous activity and let themselves be carried away by their love. Sano began to place wet kisses against her neck while she braided her hands into his hair. The passionate night belonged only to them.

"You know what...?" She whispered, cuddled up to her beloved lying next to him.

"Hm?" He replied playing with her hair.

"Despite all the crimes we've committed..." She said, taking his hand and playing with his fingers. "I'm glad to be here with you. Leaving aside some facts, I feel really happy." She said looking at the engagement ring from Mikey, which she wore on her finger.

"Mm." He nodded. "Me too, Ami ..." He stroked her hair and then kissed her forehead. "You don't regret such a life?" He asked uncertainly.

"No." She said and looked into his dark eyes. "If I had to choose... I would've followed you again, no doubt about it, Manji." She smiled warmly. "I love you." Woman cuddled up to him.

"I love you too. I'm glad to have you... That you're with me." He said honestly. "You don't even know how much that means to me."

The next day. The couple got up in the morning and met their people at the agreed place.

"Seriously, those guys? Tie-men?" Asked the older of the Haitani brothers.

"We have to get rid of them. For peace of mind." Mikey announced then looked at Ami.

"I'll go." She replied seeing his gaze.

"I want to go too." Sanzu interjected. "It's gonna be more fun." He smiled at which Sano nodded his head agreeing.

"There'll also be security and defense systems." Rindou said then he looked at his brother.

"Then we'll go too." Ran rejoiced.

"Okay." Manjiro stood up. "Act quickly and come back just as quickly. No hassle."

"Of course, bossie." Sanzu rubbed his gun with a handkerchief.

"We'll cover the rest later." Leader said and he came up to Annie. "Be carefull." He whispered to her.

"Mm." She nodded and smiled pleasantly.

The corners of Sano's mouth gently lifted up, a moment later the boy kissed Kojima on the forehead and started walking towards.

"Sanzu." Boss glanced at him over his shoulder.

"Hai!" He saluted. "I'll watch her like a third eye in my head, bossie!"

All five of them and Mikey went to the car, were to drop their leader to one place, and then go on the mission themselves.

"Let's have some fun! Heads will fly hen! Let's have some fun! I'll get dirty in my blood again!" Sanzu sang merrily under his breath.

"You could come up with a different song now." Ran said shaking his head.

"Different? Hm..." He wondered. "Because of you, I ran out of vein." He snorted at his companion. "Make up something yourself." He was indignant. "Psychopaths do psychopathic things in a psychopathic way thanks to psychopathic things." Sanzu folded his hands on his chest.

"You always add motivation." Rindou sighed heavily.

After an hour or so, the designated pros have arrived and have just started their plan. They weren't bothered by the fact that the crimes were to be committed during the day, they had already dealt with similar situations before, so this one didn't cause them any difficulties.

The Haitani brothers took care of security and all security, while Ami and Sanzu went straight to the men they were about to get rid of.

"Security is sleeping soundly." Ran said with a smile.

"The cameras are also off." Rindou added, they were communicating through the little microphones in their ears. "How about you?"

"Don't bother me." Sanzu replied bending down before the blow aimed at him.

Moments later, the boy kicked his opponent in the artificial leg and then started hitting him with a baseball bat until he smashed his skull.

"Y-you killed him..." Said the terrified man standing next to which Sanzu only smiled.

"Relax, you'll join him soon." Kojima said behind him after she shot him in the head, a second later a dead body fell to the floor.

"Let's make a fire?!" Boy who was standing next to her smiled and she nodded. "Yey!" He rejoiced and then went to get petrol and started to spill it around the house.

"We've got what we need, we can come back now." Rindou announced coming up to Ami. "Did you check the rest of the rooms?"

"Mm." She confirmed, and a moment later she and her friend looked at the place from which there was a rustling.

Ran blew the door open, and when they looked inside, they found young women sitting on mattresses. They were bound, beaten, pale and emaciated.

"Oya?" The older Haitani shook his head.

The girls were afraid of them.

"I'm done, we can set it on fire!" Sanzu ran to his companions. "What are we doing with them?"

"We'll do what we need to. " Rindou replied. "Come on, let's go."

"Ahh, burned alive." Pink hair boy shook his head and followed the brothers, and a moment later he stopped and looked at Annie, who was still standing in the doorway, staring at the frightened girls. "Snow White?"

The young woman glanced at her friend, then back at the scared people.

"Please..." One of the women cried.

Kojima took out her pistol and adjusted the muffler on it, which caught Sanzu's attention. Ami glanced at him, then put her finger to her lips and told him to be quiet to which the other just smiled and nodded.

The assassin raised the gun pointing at the first girl and then shot her, and then her other companions. After the incident, she closed the door again as if nothing had happened and left the building with Sanzu. As they left and approached the brothers, Ran tossed a match, causing a fire.

"Why?" Saznu glanced at his shorter companion.

"Because unlike those tie-men, they didn't deserve such a death." She replied and followed Ran and Rindou into the car.

Shortly after their return, Sano asked Annie and Sanzu to come over.

"I'm sick of it, Takemitchy is too interested in this." He said.

"Shall we pay him a visit?" Pink hair boy asked with a smile.

"Mm." Manjiro nodded.

Later, the three criminals found an old friend. They were all in one of the older blocks now, and Sanzu now held a gun to Hanagaki's head.

"Move and I'll shoot you. Shh ... The boss will speak." He said.

"It's the best future, isn't it?" Sano said sitting down behind Takemitchi. "Do you want to ask about something?"

"Mikey-kun..." Tears appeared in the boy's eyes.

Ami was standing next to the seated Manjiro, watching the situation.

"There..." He said after a moment. "I wanted to invite you to my wedding." Hanagaki said.

"That's it?" Ami was surprised.

"I really wish you would come... Everyone's fine, everyone's safe, just like you promised twelve years ago, Mikey-kun. " Man said. "Everyone, even Hina. Everyone... Except for you two."

"Shut up, or I'll kill you." Sanzu interrupted him.

"Sanzu, could you leave us alone for a while?" Sano asked.

"Got it, I'll be waiting downstairs." He said leaving the room.

"Mikey-kun... What is this 'dark impulsiveness'?" Takemitchy asked. "I thought you fell into it because of Kisaki... Or your brother's death... But now, I don't think that's the reason. What have you told me about before? I couldn't get back to the past by shaking hands with Naoto... Because my mission to save Hina is over. It's all thanks to you. Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand... This future is different because you protected everyone... So now... It's my turn to save you..." He got up and turned to them.

At the same moment, Manjiro nodded to Ami, who then shot Takemitchi. The boy fell to his knees, and then Mikey shot him again.

"I didn't want us to meet..." Sano approached the wounded man. "Because that's how it would've ended. Your journey ends here." He said, turning away from him and walking forward with Annie.

"I will save... You..." Hanagaki was desperate, though he was bleeding heavily and was barely conscious. "I'll go back to the past as many times as necessary... If only to save you..."

"Tch." Kojima snorted and looked at the wounded man. "You can't go back to the past!" She shouted at him. "Do you really want to destroy everything?! You said yourself, everyone, even Hina-chan, are safe! Don't destroy it and go back to your happy life!"

"I want you to lead a joyful life with us!" He said looking at her engagement ring on her finger. "Ami-chan..."

"I'll end everything here..." Manjiro interrupted, then climbed onto the roof and stood on the edge of the abyss.

"M-manji...?" Kojima followed him and looked at him.

"It's time to end this..." He glanced at her. "It's the best way..." He smiled sadly at her. "You can come back and..."

"No." She interrupted him and walked over to Sano. "I'm going with you." She looked into his eyes and took his hand.

"So we're going to hell together..." He stroked her hand.

"Mm." She nodded and Sano kissed her forehead. "We'll end it the way it started..."

"Together." Boy finished and a moment later he jumped from the roof with his beloved holding his hand.

The couple looked each other in the eye for the last time and waited for their lives to end, but to their surprise nothing happened.

Suddenly, Takemitchy leaned out of the building's window and grabbed Manjiro's hand, who was holding Ami's other hand. Hanagaki now held two people and fought not to fall into the abyss himself.

"I won't let you die!" He shouted at them.

"Idiot!" Kojima said. "Let us go, you'll fall with us!"

"There's even no such option!" Her friend interrupted her. "I won't let you die here!"

"Let us go." Sano interjected. "We want to end it here..."

"Stop it, you'll regret it..." The other argued. "Look! After all, you were supposed to get married!" He shouted. "I won't let you die again in front of my eyes!"

"Again?" Ami was surprised.

"The future will only become perfect when you also get married and we all live happily together!" Boy slowly began to lose strength. "I won't let..."

"Agh, Takemitchy! We just shot you." Ami cried, still holding her lover's hand.

"Please... Let us go in peace..." Manjiro insisted.

"Shut up! Both!" Hanagaki shouted. "Haven't you wanted to start a family together with Ami-chan?! Have you forgotten what we were talked with Draken-kun?!" He reminded. "Oi, Manjiro!! Just say it once! Say 'Please help me,' damn it! And then I'll definitely save you."

Tears started to appear in Sano's eyes, and after a long moment the boy said:

"Please help... Takemitchy..." Manjiro cried.

Immediately after that, something unexpected happened. Hanagaki suddenly woke up in his own bed, and around him he heard his mother calling him not to be late for school.

"Huh?!" He exclaimed in shock. "Did I just time leapped?!!"
