Tape 22: Lingering
Sorry for being that author that doesn't update as much as they used to. Life is a crazy thing huh
Cheers to the upcoming season three of TR. can't wait to cry (manga reader).
Many hours passed after the incident, you could not help but feel confused, frustrated and something else..
did I slip up somewhere?
How the fuck did he know about my little switch of bodies?
Why am I getting...
Excited.
You shake your head at your basically psychotic excitement you were feeling, if you haven't realized you were missing a few screws yet then you did now. Anyways, you were sitting on the couch, laying against the arm rest and stretching your legs out on the couch like an asshole.
Sanzu and the brothers were outside the room talking to each other but you didn't care enough to listen in to their words. You scrolled through your phone looking at different news articles, you began to wonder about your sister, Emma, then you remembered Kakuchos words about how a possibly different Emma was killed.
You searched up her name and Izanas name to see if there were any connections. Minutes passed and you found absolutely nothing, as you were doing so sanzu and Rindou walked into the room.
"What's got your attention?" Rindou asks raising his eyebrow at you, while Sanzu places a hand on his hip as if he's some disappointed but sassy mother.
"Hmm.. did you guys know a girl Emma? She came to Japan from America as a young kid then got adopted?" You don't even look up from your phone as you begin to search for her on instagram.
Unbeknownst to you, Sanzus eyes widen ever so slightly. Could it have been a coincidence that Mikeys late sister had the same name and story as the girl you were taking about? He decided to keep quiet about that though
"No why?" Sanzu asks walking over to you, not giving a fuck as he sits on your thighs since you were hogging up the whole couch, Rin was closer but he didn't sit down.
"Mm just wondering.. So Rin did you and Ran tell Haru here about how bad you guys are at fist fighting?" You mutter as you turn off your phone after not finding anything, your attention was now on the two of them.
Rin rolls his eyes, "We aren't bad, just caught in a bad moment." Sanzu on the other hand laughs at Rin.
"So you're caught in a bad moment quite often hm?" Sanzu teases Rin as he shifts on your legs and lays down on your chest, burying his face into the crook of your neck. Ron crosses his arms annoyed.
"Shut up asshole!" He growls, you chuckle at their banter, running your fingers through Sanzus hair. His soft breaths sent shivers down your neck as your neck was always so sensitive.
"You two are like children I swear to god." You mumble rolling your eyes at Rin. Then he looks at you, a mixture of emotions that appeared and disappeared way to fast for you to understand.
"Anyways what was up with that dude you shot and killed? You were acting weird after that." Rindou runs his fingers through his jellyfish hair as he looks down at you.
"hm? oh nothing he just thought he could be the hero or some shit" you shrug it off, it was your business not his so you had no reason to explain yourself. You nuzzle your nose and lips into Harus hair, your other arm wrapping around him slightly.
"Alright but why were you tense and weird after? You're never like that." Rindou crosses his arms now, confusion etched in his features and movements.
"Caught me off guard, but it's taken care of now soo it doesn't matter" you say nonchalantly, with a hint of "keep asking questions and I'm going to get pissed off".
Rindou decided not to press further, and soon it was past midnight. Saying goodnight to them you walked down the dark hallway to your room.
A door was opened slightly and light spilled out of it, the door was Mikey's. He always had trouble sleeping so you decided to check in on him quickly.
"Mikey?" You peak in looking around for him, he was on his bed staring up at the celling. Doesn't even bother to glance at you as you walk up next to his bed.
"Can't sleep hm?" You mumble as you place a hand in his forehead, looking down at him.
"no.." he mutters, his eye bags were very dark, you couldn't help but wonder what happened to him in his past that made him like this. A psychopath who runs a gang with multiple other psychopaths under him.
"Want me to stay with you for a little?" This curiosity of yours made you want to gain more of his trust, you wanted to know him more but it was nothing more then you being just curious. If you weren't curious then you wouldn't even bother stopping by his room.
"do whatever" he says, glancing at you as you lay next to him turning on your side as you ran a comforting hand in his short white hair. Unknowingly to you, Mikey secretly liked having you there by his side at night, it helped him more than he would like to admit. The thing was that he got worried, worried that just like most of his closest friends you would die at his hands or another's. He's lost too many people now, if he allowed himself to become mentally close with you then have you die suddenly.. he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
You stayed there for a while until he slept, you were occupied with thoughts so the time went by quickly. Once you were sure he was asleep you got up but as you were about to leave a slightly open nightstand drawer caught your eyes. There was a picture inside, there were multiple kids in it, one that looked like Mikey but he had short blonde hair who was on the back of a guy who had long black hair. Next to them was a dude with light purple hair and a taller guy with a shaved sides and a braid, with a tattoo on his head. Then next to him was a girl.. she had long honey blonde hair, and yellow eyes.
Picking up the photo you examined it closely. The girl.
It was Emma
The one you were looking for. And next to her was a young version of Sanzu, that was easy to spot since the scars on his mouth.
Meaning that the Emma you were looking for was sure dead, like Kakucho said during your little cafe date, she was killed by a command from Izana.
Just thinking about Emma being killed made you angry. She was so innocent and sweet, the few people to actually care about you as kid.
The more you thought about it the angrier you got. After a few minutes you put the photo back and walked out his room and straight to your room where you grabbed your wallet, phone and a gun and knife.
You haven't gotten to kill on your own accord in a while, sure you got to kill Naoto but it wasn't that fun. Now with your new found anger you left the mansion without a word, not bothering to tell anyone where you are going, because quiet frankly you didn't know either.
Sorry for the half assed chapter. It's 2am and I worked until 10pm. I'm tiredddd.
I know I haven't posted since.. idk a long ass time. I want to finish this book, it's just hard because of life, so thank you for everyone who is sticking with me during this annoying process.
Feel free to dm me with any questions or concerns!
