"ONEE-SAN!!" Takemichi loudly screamed running towards his sister's and Draken's side. "DRAKEN-KUN!?" He continued to yell as he caught the attention of not only Mikey within the still brawling sea of deliquents but Emma and Yayoi as both girls became terrified at the boys panicked and anguish filled scream. 'No... No way!! This can't be happening!!' He thought, as tears welled up in his eyes. 'Why is this happening?!' He cried, as his eyes rapidly switched between Draken and Meiko's fallen forms. 'Draken... and Meimei... They've both–' Reaching his sisters and Draken's side, Takemichi collapsed to his knees as he reached out to touch the older girl. "Meimei!! Hey!?" He shook the girl slightly flinching when he accidentally touched the open wound in her back and made her whimper. "Ah–" He stared down at his bloody hand in shock, until he heard his sister whimper turn into a grunt as she regained consciousness.

Scrunching up her face in a grimace, Meiko slowly opened her eyes to look up at Takemichi as her vision still swam and struggled to focus on the crying boy's face. "M-michi...?"

Tears openly running down the boy's face as he realized his sister was now awake and aware, Takemichi's voice cracked as he smiled down at his sister. "Meimei... You're... You're–"

Stuck in the middle of a large group of Moebius lackies Mikey angrily and anxiously had to punch, kick away, and even disarm a good number of the still remaining gang members. Going even so far to restrain and knock out a member in an attempt to gain an opening to call out to the crying Takemichi with a total lack of his usual calm or cocky composure as he hurriedly and loudly yelled towards the teen. "What's wrong, Takemitchy!?"

Looking back towards the slowly clearing battle field, Takemichi was just barely able to meet Mikey's gaze with his own tearfilled one. Looking between his still barely conscious sister, and the heavily bleeding Draken, Takemichi struggled to decide on how to respond to the other teen before he swallowed his fear and decided to be honest with the concerned boy even though it hurt him.

"It's Draken and my sister, Mikey!" Takemichi yelled. "Meimei's been hurt real badly! And Draken-kun... Draken-kun's been..." He struggled for a second before finally shouting out. "Draken-kun's been stabbed!" Takemichi's voice cracked at what he said next, "I think he's dead!"

Mikey felt the whole world around him fall silent. His eyes dilated in shock, finally being able to see a clear path towards Takemichi, Meiko, and Draken. He felt his breath leave him and his heart stop at what he saw. Takemichi was crying as he knelt beside Mikey's best friend face down in a slowly forming pool of his own blood, and the girl he liked, Takemichi's own sister, barely holding on, slumped over his now possibly dead friend, with a bloody and bruised back.

Bump

Bump

Mikey felt the creepings of a familiar darkness within his heart stir, as he dropped the Moebius member he'd been holding. Eyes trained solely at the three teens, he began to try and move to them only to be stopped as one foolish delinquent tried to grab him from behind in a choke hold. "Move!!" Mikey growled, punching, and kicking the advancing Moebius members even more aggressively than before. "Let me through, jackass!" He tried to move forward again, ready to take down anyone that got in his way.
