"Finally! The goddamn friend rice is here!"

"Shut up."

"What'd you say about Pah-"

Clatter

All eyes of the Tokyo Manji Gang executives turned to you as you stood up abruptly, your chair lying upside down on the ground and your spoon discarded on the table.

"Did you guys hear that?" you asked.

"Hear what?" Smiley looked at you confusedly.

"That loud 'bang'. Like a gunshot. Coming from downstairs!"

Your fellow executives only sighed and went back to eating their meal, muttering She's hallucinating and Crazy woman under their breaths. You looked anxiously to the empty seats next to you, wondering why it had been so long since Kisaki had left with Takemichi and your boyfriend Chifuyu.

"P-please excuse me..." you muttered as you stood up again, clutching your purse tightly as you walked away from the table.

"(y/n), you okay? Feeling unwell?" Inui asked worriedly.

"No, I...just need the bathroom..." you replied with a shaky smile on your face.
Turning away from the other execs, you went out of the dining area.

The number you dialed is not available. Please try again.

You wiped sweat from your brow as you pressed the green call button again, praying hard that Chifuyu would pick up.

The number you dialed is-

"Damn it! Where the hell are you!" You shouted in frustration as you exited another empty room in the huge building, officially giving up on contacting him via call.

You walked into the lift again, pressing the next button as if it had done something to you. You sighed in exasperation as you rubbed the skin of your red and painful ankles. You know Chifuyu had experience fighting and he was pretty strong, but no one was invincible.

Just look what happened to your brother Keisuke.

You walked out of the elevator with an overbearing sense of dread in your heart.

Bang!
Crack
Clunk
Thunk!

"What the hell? Get the lights! Who the
fuck!"

You glanced frantically around the now pitch-black room, trying to register what had happened. That sharp bang was exactly like what you heard earlier, and speaking of which, two similiar sounds just went off somewhere in the building.

"Chi-"

Someone clamped their hand over your mouth before you got to finish. Your eyes widened in shock, fist instinctively reeling back to punch your kidnapper before they caught it quickly.

"(y/n). It's me, Kazutora. You're gonna have to keep quiet and run with me, yeah?"

Your eyes finally adjusted to the darkness, registering a face with black and yellow hair and the trademark bell earring. On his back you could see a mop of messy black hair and an arm draped over Kazutora's shoulder.
Takemichi.

"Where's Chifuyu?" you whispered, before a gunshot sounded from a spot near you. Before you could look back, Kazutora grabbed you by the wrist and began to run as fast as he could, dragging you and with Takemichi on his back.

It was only when you looked back again when you could see Chifuyu, his still, lifeless figure on the ground tied to a chair with blood pooling from his head. As you turned back with tears in your eyes and your throat tight, you pushed your tired legs in those horrid heels to run faster.

After all, you know that a shot to the head would have killed even Chifuyu.

"I'm sorry, my love.

I'll save Takemichi for you. I'll make sure Kazutora won't do anything crazy. I'll help you bring back the Toman you and Keisuke wanted. I'll change the twisted future in your honour.

I hope we will be able to live happily in the next life, so hang in there. And...

I love you.

Please forgive me."

You cried harder than you ever had in years as you tied the bandage around Takemichi's wound.
