Mikey didn't even let you breathe before running and swinging at your face. With one step after another you dodge his punches, keeping a close eye on his legs as you know he's prone to kick quite hefty.

The more you evade his hits the angrier he gets, swinging faster and kicking stronger. You see a vision every second or so and even you are surprised that your brain hasn't confused vision from reality yet. It's a lot to take in and act accordingly after all.

"Fight back."

Mikey mumbles under his breath, his teeth grinding against each other. "I'm just buying time." You smirk back at him, gaining confidence and actually using your hands to direct his punches and kicks away from you. It doesn't take long for the blond to stop, letting you step back to take a couple deep breaths. You can only dodge as long as you have the stamina, so you remind yourself to use it sparingly.

"Why? You're supposed to be weak. Why can't I hit you?!"

Taken aback by Mikey's sudden words you cock an eyebrow at him, sweat dropping at the same time. Of course you're aware that you're physically much weaker than him but there was really no need for him to point out the obvious. "Well damn captain obvious didn't have to be so rude about it." You grumble under your breath, standing on guard and watching every single one of Mikey's muscles twitch and contract under his skin. He's tense.

"I hate weak people like you. I'm much stronger. So why can't I beat you?!"

Slowly he's starting to piss you off. Sure he must be struggling with something himself but so are you, no need to bring you down with him. It reminds you of the future, especially the timeline when Mikey actually killed you or he was somehow involved with your end.

"Well you know what. I might be weak physically but up here I'm way stronger than you." You point at your head "Even though I know that there's no hope for me in the future I keep fighting." You know that Mikey's aware of Takemichi's time leaping so there's no need for you to hold back the truth, you think.

"I keep fighting to find a way to survive, despite experiencing my own death over and over and over again! And you know another thing?!"

Now you're starting to get angry and worked up.

"You're involved in so many of my passings, it's pissing me off!"

For a split second you notice Mikey's shoulders tensing, his fingers twitching. "I've never even done anything to you and yet I somehow always end up dead because of you!" You raise your voice, running towards Mikey.

He doesn't react fast enough for you to swing your left fist towards him, hitting him across the cheek. The blond is left stunned, looking off to the side out of what you assume to be shock. You shout your next words with all your heart.

"You're pissing me off!"

Despite the aching in your knuckles you clench both your fists while staring down at Mikey, who's face is covered by his hair.

"Get a grip will you! You're not the only one suffering!" Pointing at yourself you begin to get emotional "I've never had anyone by my side. I was always alone. Always had to deal with this shit by myself!" Now you're pointing at Mikey "You have so many people that want to help you and be by your side and yet here you are pushing them away!" You're officially at your anger limit.

"Takemichi said you did it for them. But do you know that at a certain point selflessness becomes selfish?! You're being selfish and ungrateful."

You dodge just in time before Mikey's fist can knock you off your feet, stepping back a couple times. "You have no idea." Holding your tongue you watch as Mikey slowly makes his way over to you, noticing the figure behind him but saying nothing.

Before the blond gets too close Takemichi comes jumping from the back, catching Mikey off guard and getting all the attention on himself. You take the time while they fight to calm your breathing and rapidly beating heart. You feel for Mikey. You feel sorry and angry but at the same time you keep telling yourself that you don't actually know Mikey. The conflict makes your head hurt as your mind is already more than occupied by visions and memories of various dreams of the future.

The time you come back to reality Takemichi is being thrown at your feet, the fake blond getting to his knees rather quickly and staring daggers at Mikey.

Gasping you crouch down, placing a hand on Takemichi's shoulder. Though you flinch away immediately from a sudden jolt, some sort of electric shock spreading from your hands into the rest of your body. "[F/N]-san? What was that?" Bewildered the boy looks back at you. Your lips stretch into a thin line as you begin to think. You noticed it earlier while fighting Sanzu with Takemichi and Kakuchou.

"Your time leaping must be interfering with my future vision."

"Huh?"

Sighing you watch as Mikey stands menacingly before you two, not doing anything yet.

"Have you had visions at any point?"

Takemichi confirms to which you sigh again "Then I guess we're both kind of interfering with each other. As long as we're close enough I believe you can also see the upcoming future." Takemichi stares a little with wide eyes before his brows furrow his he gives you a determined look "Don't fight Mikey though. That's something I have to do myself." You chuckle "I was just buying you time. No way I can win against him." And then you both stand up.

You listen while Takemichi talks to Mikey and stay close while he runs towards the blond bimbo. You stand still despite your visions showing you how Takemichi is being thrown around. It's not until a very serious looking kick that you dare move from your spot, calling out Takemichi's name. But it's already too late when Mikey sends the other blond rolling on the ground next to the train tracks.

You watch wide eyed as Mikey doesn't even spare him a second glance, running towards him and screaming out Takemichi's name. You think about taking over the fight again but hesitate, unsure if that will make it better or worse. Considering that previously Takemichi and you fighting together, ended up with you getting hit, you come to the conclusion that you should stand back.

If Takemichi wants to fight Mikey alone you will let him. Not like you're strong enough and or close enough to Mikey to provoke a reaction from him. All you did was buy time in order for the fake blonde to gather his strength and since you're basically only here for the Haitani's, there's no reason to do much more. You've already got the brothers settled, now the fight simply has to end.

You see Takemichi stand back up on his feet, although with wobbly legs. He looks at you, a smirk on his lips.

"[F/N]-san. . ."

"Yea?"

He wipes the sweat off his forehead with his right sleeve, his blue eyes glimmering with a new found determination.

"I'll be borrowing your future vision for a while."

You cock your head to the side, unsure of what he meant at first before realizing that your future vision must have carried over to him. "Of course. No problem." You chuckle ever so slightly, the situation feels a little ridiculous in your eyes.

Now with new hope Takemichi makes his way over to Mikey, who kicks at him. You see it on your head too, the way Takemichi gets his head basically caved in. He dodges but the next punch already comes flying at him. Everything happens so fast that you barely have time to see reality as Mikey kicks and swings at Takemichi mercilessly. It's scary to watch, even though you know they aren't real, the Visions still make you shudder.

Sharing your future vision with Takemichi seems to be going well as he dodges and evades every hit going as far as being able to land a clean hit on Mikey.

Your previous hit on Mikey was weak compared to this but it was more of a stress relief than a wakeup call. Takemichi's littlevictory leaves Mikey to tumble to the floor for the first time.
