Chapter 22: Death wish

***Takemichi's Pov***

After a week of dealing with my periods cause they suck and had to stay home while getting absent from school. I requested the twins to stroll around the city for a while since we were bored to death.

" I hate Yokohama!" Macey exclaims while giving dramatic sigh. I gave him a questionable look before looking at Maxe for answers.

" Ignore him, he's just moody from some gang who picked up a fight and ruined destroyed his favourite snack."

" Oh." Macey continued cussing in his native tongue while looking around for the said gang. Can't blame him cause food shouldn't be wasted and dang, those were to keep him occupied. But that doesn't mean, he needs to blurt out how much he hates Yokohama, it's a beautiful place.

" Don't take it to the heart, Macey tends to get cranky about the things he's mad. Yokohama is a beautiful place, Sapphire. A thousand photos he asked for me to take can testify." She explained. It was a pleasure to hear those words, so I'll let it slide and it's understandable knowing the dark tremors around every area, just says about society.

While wandering around, my phone started vibrating. The twins looked at me, curious about who would be the caller.

" Bet that it's Mickey Mouse," I said, feeling my energy drain quickly.

" Bet that it's Nanny Dragon." Added Macey while taking a sip on his drink.

" Your sanity calling for help." Maxe bet as she threw a plastic bottle in the trashcan with great accuracy.

Having our bets in place, I checked the ID caller before answering it.

" Hello?"

" Oiiiii~ Takemitchy~" My face quickly went grim with Macey trying to muffle his laugh.

" Yes?" I answered back, despite hiding the annoyance in my voice.

" Come to the shrine! I have an announcement!" Resisting the urge to reject him, she agreed. Knowing how persistent Toman leader was.

" Yay! Bye- Bye!" Then he hangs up. Takemichi then look at the twins.

" Let's go..." I said as we all head to the shrine. I popped a pill to reduce the migraine, plus the twins are helping me — Maxe mostly. That's when she realized something wasn't right.

' How the fuck did Mikey have my number?!' She looked at the twins, who looked back with cluelessness.

————

" There you are, Takemitchy! Oh, you've brought your friends." Mikey exclaimed like the usual child-like guy that he is. As much as Takemichi could tolerate, she'll admit that it was always adorable. The three greeted the gang, just to show respect.

" I hope you don't mind them tagging along, they're your friends... even your sister." I heard Macey snort while mumbling out, ' Love-struck fool'. I, too, almost snorted at how true his words were.

We finally had the meeting, Mikey announcing two new newcomers who are the twins.

" Welcome our new members, Macey and Maxe!" Toman cheered, even though some were intimidated by them — especially on Maxe.

" Now, Maxe and Macey were supposed to be in the fifth division but from their request to be with Takemitchy. They'll be sent at the second division, under Mitsuya's place." Some people groaned but respected his decision, not wanting to anger him. They immediately approached the second division to greet the Mitsuya.

" Glad to have you on the second division, Maxe and Macey." Mitsuya greeted while placing a hand in front for a handshake. Macey accepted the gesture first before it was Maxe's turn.

" Likewise, second division captain." While they were having a conversation, someone approached me.

" Hey..." he greeted first and it was Hakkai.

" Sup," I responded before asking him what he wants.

" Y-You're Akemi's brother, right?" Hakkai asked with a flustered face Damn! Makes me want to tease him.

" Yeah?" He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to compromise a sentence. I almost squealed at how adorable he looked... DAMN, MY SOFT SPOT FOR HIM! Macey stated that he wants to adopt him and Maxe agreed, even though she prefers Angry — she'll include Smiley cause he reminds him of her brother.

"  How's your sister? Just wanted to know..." Trying to hide my smirk, before placing a hand on his shoulder.

" She's fine, just studying hard. Did you know, she loves talking about you?" Seeing him tense up, hit the jackpot.

" Really?"

' Oh~ Lover shy boy is interested?'

" Yeah, One time on the phone. While we were talking, she started to talk about you so much that lasted fours hours. Giving both of us lack of sleep but she said that it was worth it." He started blushing like crazy, only to stop when another presence welcomed themselves.

" Hey, Angry..."

' Aww~ IT'S ANGRY! OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE BLUEBERRY COTTON CANDY FLUFF! Ok, stop fangirling... this means business. God, I want to hug both of them! I can't help it!' Calming myself from fangirling and saving myself from embarrassment. Angry looked at Hakkai before gazing back at me, after calming myself.

' Stop looking at me like that! Your adorable face is distracting me! Still love you, Hakkai.'

" Can you tell me more about your sister, Akemi? I feel like, we met before..." Letting out an 'oh', despite smiling to myself. That's when an idea popped into my head.

I called out for Macey as he instantly approached us.

" Yeah?" He asked, fidgeting with his camera.

" I need a pen." He nodded his head before taking out a pen in one of his pockets then gave it to me before going back to his sister's side. Seeing that while looking at both Hakkai and Angry, made me feel nostalgic about their sibling relationship.

' Hope that Taiju's treating them, right or I'm going to assign Maxe to do it. Trust me, she'll murder him.'

Having a pen in hand, I grabbed Hakkai's wrist then started scribbling. After that, I did the same to Angry. Both of them looked at their wrist and this is where I smiled.

" Here's a bonus, don't tell anyone about it." I told them then gave a 'shh' gesture. They nodded their heads before I gave them an item in hand. Both of them immediately stuffed it inside their pockets while covering their scribbled arms than left.

' Do they have the guts though?' I thought to myself, giving out a chuckle.

————

After the meeting which was normal for once and so far, there weren't any occurrence happening from Toman. That's good though my gut felt something wrong.

" Hey, Maxe..." Maxe looked at me with Macey recording everything.

" Yeah?"

" Can you check for Osanai again? I have this bad feeling on my gut but the foresight didn't trigger..." Things went serious quickly, she nodded her head at request then immediately left while taking her brother's camera. Macey doesn't mind and I'm stuck with him.

" Macey, let's go wander around the place. I want the foresight to trigger..." He understood the request before bringing out a spare camera.

It was already nighttime and Maxe haven't returned. With the feeling of uneasiness still intact, we reached that one particular moment that started the misery of Toman.

" Not on my watch, Macey... Follow me."

" Finally! Some action, WHOOO!" He cheered while following me.

' Thank me tomorrow, Third division squad.'

————

As we raced from a certain area, we saw a bunch of gang members who were surrounding a young couple. The girl was pinned while the guy was getting his ass beaten up and without thinking, I immediately went to the guy's side then kick one of the members. Macey went to the girl's side then took them out, knocking them unconscious.

The rest of the gang stopped to look at us, before engaging in a fight. I gave the guy to Macey for him to protect, cause I'm beating some ass. Cracking my knuckles before running towards them, warming up my fist then made contact on one of the member's faces. I quickly finished them off, cause there are other things I should worry about. I approached the three with a smile.

" Are you two alright?" The two looked at me with grateful eyes then thanked us for saving them.

" It's not a problem, we're lucky to stumble on you guys. If we didn't, who knows what'll happen to both of you." I said, even though some foreshadowing was hinted at. The memory of these young couples was haunting, especially for the girl and her family. Getting raped and stolen was something that shouldn't be tolerated, such a cruel world we live in.

" Well, Let's get you two home. Who knows what other gang that could ambush you two at the moment again." They wanted to protest but after we successfully persuaded them to accept. Macey carried the boy due to his injuries while I stayed beside the girl with Macey's spare camera in hand.

We escorted them home before giving out some words of wisdom. That's when Maxe finally texted us to come home. The uneasiness on my gut finally ended and could finally breathe well.

————

" We're home..." Macey and I greeted and saw Maxe setting up the table for dinner.

" Yo, come on. It's dinner time..." We sat down then chowed down on the fight that was displayed on the table.

Maxe explained about her conversation with Osanai, which was long due to some complications. Its a good thing that they were able to settle things.

" Osanai will keep a check on his gang, so we're going to meet them on Saturday. All we need is Mickey Mouse, Nanny Dragon's presence and other captains." Maxe said while placing five pieces of chicken nuggets on her brother's plate, doing the same for me. Macey then told about the recent incident, which was still disgusting to hear and puked out the nuggets remembering that incident.

" Shit! Sapphire, again?!" Macey exclaimed while grabbing a napkin from his pocket then wiped the vomit on the edge of my mouth. Maxe poured a glass of water while lightly patting on my back.

After puking some of the dinners, I drank the water then started to calm myself cause of the headache.

" Time for you to rest. Macey, go bring her to my room. I'll clean this up." Macey followed his sister's orders then carried me. I immediately slept on his arms, the pain slowly decreasing.

***3rd person Pov***

The next day, it was another night meeting of Toman. It was the usual meeting, only for Mikey to make another announcement.

" Today, one of our members from the third division squad and one of Pachin's buddies got hurt alongside his girlfriend. Fortunately for them, we have our Heroes who saved them. Step in, Takemitchy and Macey. "As he announced our names, we both stepped in at the front and welcome our presence. " I'd like to say thank you on behalf of Pachin and the third division squad. You both have proven worthy in Toman..." Everyone cheered but my eyes landed on the third division squad. Seeing Pachin and Peh-yan getting emotional, I smiled at them then mouthed 'you're welcome. " Next, Maxe step in!" We all faced Maxe who stepped at the front. " Maxe talked with the leader of Moebius named Osanai. The leader requested a meeting on Saturday to settle things. So, what do you think?!"

Everyone roared in anger wanting revenge for hurting their team. Mikey looked at Maxe who
shook her head, he did the same to us and we gave him the same reaction as Maxe. He nodded his head before silencing the gang.

" Alright, I know that you're all angry but let us settle things correctly without resorting to violence. Maxe talked with Osanai then reached a compromise, so I decided to follow their decisions. If anything happens then we—captains— will handle it." Everyone went quiet but started whispering to each other.

" Permission to speak, Leader?" Maxe said as she raise her hand.

" Granted." With that permission, Maxe was able to persuade the gang so they agreed. Takemichi was relieved that things were going well. She then approached the third division squad after the meeting to have some conversation.

" Hey, Pachin-kun and Peh-yan-kun..." She greeted making both of them flinch.

" Oh... It's you, Takemichi. Sup.." Pachin greeted back.

" Thanks for helping our friend and his girlfriend, I would've done something I'd regret..." That triggered those memories.

" Yeah... Thank God." She gave a light-hearted laugh, despite the memories of the Moebius attack flooded around her mind. Her vision almost blurred and would collapse at the moment. Luckily, Maxe took noticed then nudge Macey to go straight for her aid. He instantly jumped right into the action, then wrapped an arm around his shoulders to keep her standing.

" Thanks..." She weakly muttered enough for him to hear.

" Welcome..." He muttered back.

While the event is happening there, Mikey was having a conversation with Maxe about something 'important'.

" Why can't I have them?" Whined Mikey as he tugged on Maxe's sleeves. She continued to reject him but the more she did that, the more persistent Mikey is.

" They're my masterpiece and I don't share my masterpiece." Said Maxe while letting him do what he wants.

' Is this guy serious?' Maxe thought to herself as she grabbed turned around to stop facing the gremlin below her. ' This is so embarrassing...' She covered her face when Mikey started jumping up and down, still pouting. Draken watched everything unfold, feeling relaxed but also guilty seeing Maxe suffer.

' This is so embarrassing...' Seeing Mikey, who's 5'3 jumping around Maxe who's 6'4. It's like a mom with her spoiled kid, when others see it.

" Oi, Mikey... Quit pestering, Maxe." Draken scolded like the Nanny he is, only for Mikey to scowl at him.

" No, I won't leave until she gives me what I want! We had a deal!"

" I already gave you that photo, now shut up." Mikey kicked Maxe instantly shocking Draken and some of the Toman members who stayed. Unfortunately, it wasn't that they were shocked at. Cause it's about Maxe blocking Mikey's kick using her knee. Suddenly, she had enough of this gremlin pestering her. Takemichi and Macey turned and was stunned to see this unfold.

" You want it? Fine, here..." She brought out an Akemi photo then presented it to the captains and vices. Maxe was going to give the photo and Mikey was about to grab it when she suddenly hoisted the photo up.

" If you can reach, short-stack." She said which offended "the-so-called short-stack".

" OOOOOHHHH!" Yelled Macey who is recording the whole event. Takemichi had her mouth opened, internally screaming ' WHAT THE FUCK IS MAXE DOING?! AND THE HELL DID MIKEY DO AGAIN?!'

Mikey did everything he could to reach for the photo, only to no avail. He pouted then look at Draken with an idea popped. The blonde braids male felt a chill down his spine when he saw Mikey looking at him.

" Motherfucker..." He groaned and was prepared to run.

" Oi, no help. Just you Mickey Mouse..."

" The fuck did you just call me?"

" You're not deaf, Mickey Mouse."

" You have a death wish, huh?"

" You have no milk anymore, huh?" And with that, Mikey started kicking Maxe but kept failing. So did not get the photo, much to his dismay. She gave the photo to Pachin instead, a sign of peacemaking.
