Halcyon

Chapter 10

Takemichi was trying to figure everything out about what was happening, if what Kazutore said was true about the future meant that Hakkai was going to kill his brother. Then Hakkai would take over the Black Dragons. 

He has to figure out how he was going to stop  Hakkai from killing Taiju,whether Hakkai's the boss or Taiju's the boss will only end in bad news. The only way was to go and fight the black dragons.

Even if it sounded impossible!

First it was Kisaki and now he had to deal with the Black dragons.  All these problems kept pulling up,but he would solve them all if it meant saving everyone. 

"I'm the only one who can do this…" 

"Can't depend on anyone else" 

"Gotta do this all alone" 

….

"What are you mumbling about?" 

"Creepy Michi" 

The blond turned his head noticing his friends in his bedroom, all surrounding the table in his room staring at him in confusion. Did they really hear him mumbling? 

"You guys… What are you doing here!?" 

"We came to check on you! What else!?" 

That's how he learned about his friends joining Toman, under his divisions.  He never really expected them to actually join Toman, he was thankful no less. 

"Hm? What's with you and the pause? You invited them in yourself, didn't you?" 

"It's.. it's nothing" 

The topic changed shortly after, the group started discussing the topic of the Black dragons. Talking about how the balance was broken when Takemichi was attacked and how that was enough to start a war. Chifuyu took over going into detail about the black dragons explaining to the group that the black dragons were the top delinquent gang in the Kanto region. But the 10th generation was the most maniacal and evil. All because of their leader Taiju Shiba. Unlike other delinquents sells his violence. 

The boys heard the familiar patter of feet running past Takemichi's room. Greeting his mother before leaving the house. Everyone seemed to have caught on that the two siblings must have had a fight or argument. His friends had noticed over the past few days how quiet the house has been. When they questioned him about it. He just stated that she was starting to hang out with her friends more. Nothing strange since she loved hanging with her friends from her class. 

Takemichi couldn't help but feel guilty, ever since the fight he had noticed how she went out of her way to avoid him. She no longer barged into his room begging him to walk her to school. She didn't even bother waking him up like she used too either. 

"You sure that you're okay with her being alone?"

No he wasn't,  he was always worried that something might happen whenever she left the house. 

"Yeah, you've been pretty protective of her lately?" 

Right, he alway makes sure to keep her close and lately she didn't want anything to do with him. When she wasn't with her friends, she wanted to stay with Mr Tatsu. He missed her wanting to hang out with him. 

Chifuyu and the others didn't want to bother him by asking him what had happened to the two of them. What could have caused these two to drift apart when they were so close?  

[A few nights ago] 

" I wanted to help!" 
" You're just a kid!"
"But" 
"I said no!"
"Michi! I wanted to help!" 
"I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY!....You cant follow me anymore" 

It took the girl a few minutes after the fight to realize that her brother wasn't going to come back, she had run out of the house. Running to a park close to her house, screaming and crying her heart out. Begging her brother to forgive her and come back. 

Two figures watched the scene before approaching the girl staring down at her crying figure, she didn't seem to notice them from her curled up position. One knelt down placing his hand on the girl's head. 

"Hello (Y/n), where is your brother?" 

She lifted her head, staring at them swallowing her sobs, before lunging herself at the figure knocking them down as she wrapped her arms around them. 

"He hates me … he left me…" 

She whispered before letting out more sobs as she cried into their chest, clinging onto them desperately seeking any kind of comfort. 

They stared down at her as she clung onto them, before realization hit them, the second one watched as their friend lifted their arms wrapping it around the girl comforting. Rubbing her back to help calm her down, they rested their head on hers before whispering. 

" It's okay, we'll show him" 

The second figure could only watch in amusement, watching the scene in front of them. 

[Present] 

Ever since that night (Y/n) had started hanging out with them, they would come pick her up from school and let her run errands with them. She had grown attached to the two, always greeting them with a smile. 

Sure sometimes she would miss her brother and his friends. But these two seemed to replace her want for a relationship with her brother. Treating her as their own sister, she couldn't ask for more. 

"(Y/n) you wanna go eat?" 

"Yeah!" 

They smiled at the girl holding her hand as they stepped into the cafe's, they couldn't help but smile at how the girl seemed to light up as she stared at the decorations. 

"Wah! It's so pretty!"
