You clench onto the keychain in your hand and sharply threw it hard, hitting Hanma in the jugular. The motorcycle wobbles and they both fall off. You quickly turn towards Emma, running for her but something hits you in the head. You fall over in pain. Kisaki hovers over you, holding the bat tightly in his hand, preparing to wack you hard but you kick him hard in his leg. He stumbles back and Hanma puts the bike back up.
"HEY!" A woman shouts. Kisaki looks back at Hanma and then out in the distance towards the voice of the woman. He glares back at you and then quickly gets on the back of Hanma's bike. Driving off quickly. You crawl towards Emma who's laying unconscious on the ground.
"E-mma..." You sniffle.
"YOUNG LADY! ARE YOU OKAY?!" A woman shouts. You grab onto Emma and hold onto her tightly. "Oh... my- Hold on... I'll call an ambulance." She says in a stressed tone. You hold Emma, tears falling down your eyes.
"Emma... please wake up- please be okay..." You cry. Emma's eyes slowly open and she looks up at you with tired eyes. "Emma..." You softly say. Her eyes look glossy and the place where she got hit in the head to starts to soak your jacket.
"Wha-t happened?" She quietly says. You furrow your eyebrows. "Oh- right... there was a motorcycle."
"The ambulance is coming... so everything will be alright." You softly say.
"... ambulance... Y-uki..."
"Hm..."
"Your head... you're bleeding." She slowly says. Her eyes widen and then relax. "I... can't move."
"Huh?"
"I tried to reach for your face but... I just realized I can't feel my body." She softly says. Her eyes are glossier and tears begin to fill them. Your eyes widen and you quickly look up at the woman.
"Are they coming?"
"Yes yes... they will be here shortly!" She shouts.
"Yuki..."
You slowly look back at her. Her eyes look dim.
"Can you do me a favor..."
"Hm?"
"Take care of our boys for me..."
"..."
The sound of the ambulance approaches. You stare at Emma's blank eyes up until the paramedics rip her from you. You watch them put her in the ambulance. All you can do is stand still. One of the paramedics pulls your arm and forces you into the ambulance.
Not long later and you're at the hospital being checked out. You sit quietly on the cold hospital bed with a few band aids on your head. You hold a small cup of water.
"You said you only bumped your head?"
"Yes... I'm fine..." You slowly say. The doctor nods and lets you walk out with a few papers. You slowly walk in the direction of where Emma is staying. You stop by her room, staring at her through the window. They have her on machines and in a dark room. She's not dead but-
Your eyes narrow and you take a few deep breaths.
How do I suck so much? You think to yourself.
"I couldn't even save her..." You frown and slowly walk down the hall and then stop when you see someone jogging towards you.
"Where's Emma?" Mikey says in a panic. Your eyes widen and then relax when you see him.
You sit in the waiting room with Mikey. Mikey sits on a chair, staring down at the ground. You sit across from Mikey, sitting quietly.
"How did this happen...?" Mikey asks. You sit quietly, still looking down at the broken charm in your hand. Mikey looks up at you, causing you to look back up at him.
"Kisaki..." You quietly say. Mikey's eyes wide.
"MIKEY!" A voice shouts in the distance. You look in the direction to see an angry looking Draken. Mikey looks at Draken through the corner of his eyes. Draken grabs Mikey by the shirt collar, pulling him from his seat. "The fuck happened." He fumes, clenching onto Mikey's shirt collar. "Why is Emma laying in a hospital bed..." His voice sounds hurt and more angry. Mikey slowly looks at Draken.
"Draken... don't... not in a hospital." You say, standing up.
"Shut it- You're next." He glares down at you. You furrow your eyebrows and back away a bit. "Walk outside with me." Draken seethes, aggressively letting go of Mikey. Mikey stares at Draken and slowly follows behind him. You follow them too. You stop at the door, looking up at the sky. It's raining-
Draken turns and looks at Mikey, who slowly stops in front of him.
"... What the fuck happened?" Draken asks. Mikey stands still.
"..."
"We built Toman to protect everyone... right? To create a new era is what you said..." He slowly approaches Mikey. Mikey still stands still. "Yet... Pah got arrested... Baji lost the ability to walk... Kazutora is dead... AND NOW EMMA IS-" He clenches his fists.
"..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MIKEY!? FUCKING SPEAK!" He grabs Mikey by the collar, holding his fist up preparing to punch him. Mikey's eyes are glossy and his lips are quivering.
"... She's not dead." He softly says. "She's my sister... s-she's strong." His eyes get glossier and his face begins to look more and more distraught. Draken's face starts to turn more sad. He slowly frowns and shakes his head. "She won't die... not yet- sh-she promised me that she was going to tell you."
"Tell me what...?" Draken asks in an upset tone.
"That she-" Mikey's eyes soften and then relax. "She won't die." He repeats. Draken aggressively lets go of him, pushing him back a bit.
"... If she dies- I will kill you." Draken says turning away from Mikey. Mikey stands still and stares at Draken. Draken grabs you by the arm and pulls you away.
"Ouch- where are you pulling me." You ask. Draken doesn't answer and stops in a corner out of view from where you were just at. Draken lets go of you, causing you to stumble and hit the wall. You gently rub your arm. Draken glares down at you.
"What the fuck happened?" He asks. You stand still, staring up at him then slowly look down, frowning a bit. "YUKI."
"Kisaki hit her with a bat." You answer.
"Huh?" Draken's eyes widen.
"... he was on the back of a motorcycle- Emma and I were leaving that store we went to yesterday and-"
"Kisaki did this?" Draken asks. You slowly look up at him and nod. He slowly nods and then shakes his head. He quickly turns away. You furrow your eyebrows a bit, following him out from the corner you two were in.
"Draken... where are you going?" You ask.
"To kill that four eyed fuck." Draken answers. You watch as he disappears into the distance. You stand still, slowly rubbing the band aid on your head. You look down at you hands and frown a bit. Emma won't die... You repeat in your head. You frown and quickly turn away, running to the bakery. Once you make it to the bakery, you pause at the door, staring down at it. Your eyes relax as you slowly open the door. You furrow your eyebrows when you smell a strong fermented smell in the air.
"Eugh... Hikari-" You say in a disgusted tone. "If she wants the place to smell good... then fine... but this is overdoing it." You say, waving your hand back and fourth. You walk further inside after locking the door and towards the back. But then you stop when you see the back door. Your eyes widen a bit as you approach it. You place your hand on the handle and gently pushing the door. The door opened.
"Someone broke the handle..." You quietly say to yourself. Your eyes widen more when you hear a creak up the stairs. You close the back door and grab the mop that's resting against the wall beside it. You pop off the mop head and grip the pole in your hand, slowly walking up the stairs. You push open the door and slowly walk into the room, feeling nervous who may be there. You slowly walk through the living room and stop when your eyes, scan your bedroom. You turn towards your bedroom, preparing to walk in but then stop when you hear a click. Your eyes widen and your head slowly turns.
"Drop the pole." Kisaki says in a calm tone, pointing a gun towards you.
Koda slowly approaches Ren who is standing on the sidewalk. When Ren notices, he flinches a bit.
"Where are you headed?" Koda asks.
"Aren't you supposed to be meeting up with Hana?" Ren asks, looking back at Koda.
Koda slowly turns his head and smiles a bit. "You would think... but no-" He laughs. "Actually... the person who will be meeting up with her is my boss."
"Your boss...? I thought it was just you and that other guy... the short one with a mask."
"No." Koda, slowly pulls a cigarette box from out of his pocket and lights it.
"What do you mean no... Ayame said-"
"You can't trust a word that comes out of that girls mouth." Koda interrupts and take a puff from the cigarette.
"..."
Koda takes a deep breath and looks at Ren, smiling a bit. "Do you like that girl?"
"Who? Ayame or Hana...?" Ren asks, stress showing in his face.
"I guess... both." Konda replies. Ren stares off into the distance, watching all the vehicles. "Or... do you like someone else."
"Do I have to answer...?" Ren sighs. Koda shakes his head and blows the smoke out of his mouth. "I'm pretty sure you followed me here to talk to me...- so what did you want to talk about...?"
"Well... answer my question. I'm pretty sure you aren't doing any of this because of Yuki- or Kisaki..." Koda smiles. Ren turns his head towards Koda and furrows his eyebrows. Koda smiles more and then takes another puff. "Or maybe you do have a grudge against her..."
"..."
"Just guessing from the looks of that nasty scar on your forehead. She did that... right?" Koda motions to Ren's head.
"How old are you?" Ren asks. Koda looks at Ren and takes a deep breath, flicking the ash off the cigarette.
"That's a good question."
"..."
"Answer my question." Koda says in a low tone.
"Neither. I don't like them romantically or do I have a grudge against Yuki."
"But you have a motive?" Koda adds.
"No- just helping out a friend."
"Helping out a friend...?" Koda takes another cigarette from the box and lights it, taking a puff. "So... you're willing to go this far for a 'friend'."
"..."
"If you don't mind me asking... but what does that key unlock?" Koda asks, his eyes piercing at Ren. Ren's eyes narrow.
"What key?"
"Don't play stupid..." Koda flicks the cigarette. "The key Hana gave you... what does that key unlock?" He asks again. Ren puts his hands in his pocket and looks away. "You know... there is three things my boss hates when it comes to business..." Koda drops the cigarette and crushes it under his boot. "One, he hates when clients fold... Two, he hates people who over are overly cocky... or overconfident... and three... he hates liars." Koda smiles and pulls his sleeves up. "Looks like this is your stop." He say, approaching Ren from behind.
"Huh?"
PUSH
"..."
SLAAAAAAM ... BEEEEEEEEP ... SKIIIIIIIIIRTTT
The truck completely rolled over Ren, crushing him under the tires. Koda quickly pulls the key from Ren's pocket and then disappearing into the darkness before anyone could see him.
