Fits Like Ass On Bucket || Rindou x Reader

23 • latte macchiato

You wake up gasping for air, grasping at the fabric of your shirt with an iron grip. The immediate rush of vomit forces you to run to the bathroom to empty your basically already empty stomach.

You dry heave once no more fluid makes it out of your mouth, dropping to your knees out of exhaustion. This certainly isn't the way you wanted to start your day, crouching on the bathroom floor after vomiting into the toilet from the dream you had.

For months already you had dreams of the future. You saw yourself getting a job at the bakery, so you applied earlier than in the future. You saw yourself making friends and slowly you're starting to warm up to your co-workers. You saw Rindou, killing you.

You don't cry, or scream. You sit in silence while letting the scene play out in your head again and again, analyzing every bit of information you can gather from the vision.

Rindou is currently in Rokuhara Tendai and will soon join Kantou Manji after they fight Mikey and lose. They end up getting bigger than expected leading their little biker gang to become one of Japan's biggest criminal organizations, Bonten. Mikey meets a man named Hanagaki Takemichi and ends up jumping off of the roof with him.

So many thoughts swarm your mind at once, your head hurting from too much going on. You shake the ache away.

If you can get Ran and Rindou out of Rokuhara Tendai or Kantou Manji they'll never even join Bonten, meaning Rindou will never have to kill you. Problem is, there's no way to contact the brothers. You have no idea about Rokuhara Tendai or how they work and where they operate, the only things you hear about them is the gossip spread by smaller thugs you pass by on the streets. Kakuchou won't be an option either, there's no way he'll let you get close to Rokuhara Tendai. You can try for sure since he hasn't cut off contact yet, but the likelihood of him helping you out and believing your words is so slim there's barely a reason to.

"Hanagaki. . ."

Sanzu spoke of a man that talked to Mikey before killing himself. His name was Hanagaki Takemichi. Considering Mikey even let the guy speak to him means that they're either friends or were friends. Surely if you find him you can find Rokuhara Tendai and hopefully the brothers.

You wipe off the drool on your chin before standing up on your shaky legs. You can't keep hoping for things to happen. You took your future into your own hands once before, surely you can do it again.

You take off work the next day, telling your boss you're feeling sick. She buys it, telling you to stay home for the next three days. You accept her offer, more time to look for the brothers.

You sadly don't know when Rokuhara Tendai will join Kantou Manji so you go to your first source of information. Kakuchou.

You call the boy before stepping out of the house, waiting for him to pick up while putting your shoes on. The phone rings and rings but leads nowhere as the boy doesn't pick up. You frown before hanging up, trying again after you close the door to the apartment, walking down the stairs. When he doesn't answer for the second time you text him a message. He doesn't text back.

His unresponsiveness pisses you off but also leaves you to believe that the fight might have already happened. You weren't really present the past few weeks, mind occupied with visions.

So, you try out your second source of information.

The playground doesn't sound like a place where you'll be able to find thugs and gang members, but you've found a group of guys hanging around that are particularly informed about the current gang situation. You've only been here a couple of times when you were looking for the Haitani's, desperate for an answer on their whereabouts. The people here happily told you all about them, explaining that right after they came out of prison they joined Terano South in creating Rokuhara Tendai. You'd say you've acquainted yourself quite well with the group despite living in a completely different world.
