1st Person POV:

Izana took me out to eat later that day, but apparently, it wasn't just me so Kakucho was there. I didn't mind much because it's just Kakucho and we went to a simple but nice restaurant.

"I have to find a good time to escape..." I thought when we took our seats inside.

"You're zoning out, Y/n," Izana said, bringing my attention to him.

"Oh, sorry man," I apologized.

Izana ordered for me because I didn't know what to order. He also sat at the end of the booth while I was at the window, probably so I couldn't run off when I wanted, but I have a plan 😌. When I ask to go to the bathroom, I'll stay in there for like 5 minutes and sprint out through the kitchen! Hopefully the employees don't stop me and hopefully there's a door outside from the kitchen.

The food arrived (it felt like forever and I was forced to hear about gang stuff from Tenjiku's side because they REALLY thought I was actually staying so I got some intel. Lol dumbasses) and we began to eat. I gobbled up my food really quick (I was SUPER DUPER hungry), so I could start my super smart escape plan.

"Izanaaa," I drawled out.

"What," He answered dryly.

"I have to go to the bathroom," I told him.

"Kakucho, take her to the bathroom," Izana ordered.

"Wait, what...?" I said, my eyes widening slightly. "Why does he have to come?!"

"He's just gonna wait outside. It's not a big deal," Izana said glancing at me with a knowing look. He knows I'm trying to escape...DAMN MY PLAN IS NOT GOING SO WELL...

Kakucho followed me to the bathroom and waiting outside the door for me. When I got in the stall, I cursed silently in frustration because HOW is my plan supposed to work now...I sulked and maybe even cried a little in the bathroom stall for five minutes, then I washed my hands and left the bathroom where Kakucho was waiting for me. I began to walk back to our table, but Kakucho grabbed my hand and peeked around the corner to where Izana was sitting, his back facing the wall we were behind.

"Ah-!"

"Hey, shh!" Kakucho said, holding his hand up in front of my face.

"What are you doing?!" I whispered in confusion.

"Helping you!" Kakucho whispered back.

"Wait, you...you're helping me escape...?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I am. I know you're one of Takemichi's friends, right?"

"Mhm, I am," I said, looking at him skeptically.

"I'll let you go. Izana is being used by that bastard Kisaki and I don't want you to die because of that," Kakucho said.

"Don't worry, man. I'll work on it. That Kisaki bitch will be dead by the time I'm done with him, " I smiled softly.

Kakucho's gazed softened at me and he said, "Well, I guess I'll count on you too."

"Thank you, Kakucho. I appreciate it a lot," I told him. I went through the kitchen ignoring the confused looks and shouts of employees and I went out through the back, running for dear life. I don't know what happened to Kakucho, but I know I have TWO missions:

1. Save Izana (from death, even though he kidnapped me, forced me to join Tenjiku against my will, and planned on killing me if I didn't agree because he knew Mikey would be devastated if I died.) But it's okay, because saving Izana will be good for the plot (i think)

2. Watch Kisaki die and skip happily into the sunset, knowing it was bound to happen anyway.

I ran to the nearest bus stop and immediately called Takemichi.

He picked up 0.2 seconds after I pressed call.

Takemichi: Y/N??? Y/N!! OH MY GOD

Me: I'll be at my house, okay?

Takemichi: Okay, BUT WHERE WERE YOU? IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE DAYS??

Me: Ask questions later, okay?

___

Takemichi told me to expect a call from him whenever he was done with...whatever he was doing. I was at home, but Miruka wasn't. So, I texted her telling her I had came home. I don't know HOW I'm going to explain what happened to me but it's whateva tbh...

Anyway, I texted a good few people that I was okay, and took a well deserved nap! Takemichi woke me up with his call though, so I answered.

Takemichi: Y/n, can you come to the location I'm about to send? We need to talk. Chifuyu will be there too, okay?

Me: Yeah, sure...

I don't understand why he couldn't just TEXT me that...but okay! I put on some new clothes, until I heard a motorcycle coming towards my house.

"What the hell, I almost never hear those around-- CHIFUYU?!" I went to peek outside my window, but my out-loud thought were interrupted by Chifuyu parked in front of my house

He saw me peeking out and waved for me to come downstairs. I practically sprinted out the door and Chifuyu tackled me in a hug when I came near him.

"Y/n, where the HELL have you been?!" He buried his face in my shoulder and hugged me tighter.

"We'll talk about it when we're with Takemichi, okay?" I said, ruffling his hair.

"Do you know how worried we've been...?"

"Yeah, I know."

I got on his motorcycle and we rode over to a park. Takemichi SPEEDED towards me and tackled me (hugged me) to the ground.

"YEOUCH!" I yelled.

"Sorry..." Takemichi said, getting up off of me.

"It's cool, man," I let him hug me PROPERLY this time.

When we settled ourselves on the swings, Takemichi immediately asked me, "OKAY, now that we're together, where were you??"

"Izana kidnapped me..." I whispered.

"Izana...? Izana Kurokawa? As in Tenjiku's leader?" Chifuyu asked me, his face looking confused and angry at the same time.

"Yeah and Kisaki was there. Get this! Kisaki is using Izana to rise to the top, while Izana is falling for it all because he just wants to get back at Mikey. I don't know why he hates Mikey so much...I had to agree to join Tenjiku so Izana wouldn't kill me, but I escaped a little while after that. The craziest part is that KAKUCHO helped me escape," I told Chifuyu and Takemichi.

"Kaku helped you...? That sounds about right because he had a one-on-one conversation with me and asked me to save Izana, apparently Izana's being used by Kisaki," Takemichi added.

Chifuyu sat and listened to all of this. He patted my shoulder and said,  "...Well, at least we know Y/n is okay, right? Now we can properly deal with Tenjiku."

"I guess so, yeah," Takemichi muttered, still in thought.

"Izana hates Mikey, you said...?" Takemichi suddenly said, turning to me again.

"Yeah, I don't know why thought," I lied. They STILL don't know I basically isekai-ed here.

"That's really odd... Hey, did you timeleap with me to..." Takemichi was about to say something, but then stopped. He was probably going to mentioned the timeleap where future Naoto died.

"No, I haven't timeleaped lately, if that's what you're asking," I told him. (Because the author was too lazy to add y/n in the latest timeleap to the future. 🙄🙄)

He never mentioned that timeleap again the whole time we were at the park. It was really hard for him, I know. Especially because Naoto was a dear friend to him. It got really late, so Chifuyu drove me home and Takemichi walked because his house was literally one minute away. Chifuyu walked me to my door and said goodnight (well maybe good MORNING because it was probably really early in the day now) and I went inside to Miruka sitting in the living room.

"Oh..."

"Don't 'OH' me you little shit-stain..." Miruka said, her faced turned up in disapporval. "Where were you for 2 almost 3 days??"

"Um..."

I made up a lie. (A lie of your choice lol bc I dont fuckin know man) It wasn't the most AWESOME lie, but she believed me and sent me to my room, saying I was on house arrest and went to bed. "House arrest"?? She can't ground me! She's only my step-sister! I sat in my bed and close my eyes preparing for sleep... but NOOO I just HAD to get a call. Again. It was Mikey.

Mikey: Y/N??!! HELLO?

Me: Please stop yelling, why are you up so early...?

Mikey: Because you're back?!! Where did you go? Come over now!

Me: I JUST got done meeting Takemichi and Chifuyu are you serious right now...?

Mikey: Yeah, come on.

Me: Mikey, I'm so tired...

Mikey: Fine, I'll get you. Pack your bags too

Me: Why...?

Mikey: Um, because your staying at my house.

Me: No...?

Mikey: See you in 10!

Me: Wait, I--

He hung up.

"Oh, fuck you, MIKEY!" I cursed under my breath, rolling my eyes.

I put on clothes, AGAIN, and waited for Mikey. Mikey arrived at my house on the "Babu". Hehe I like saying "Babu". Anyways, I opened the window and said, "Mikey, Miruka is gonna kick my ass. She's not asleep yet because she JUST went to her room."

"Come on, you don't have to come through the door," Mikey told me.

"Then...what do I do..?"

"Jump! I'll catch you," Mikey said, holding his arms out.

"..."

"..."

"...What are you waiting for...?" Mikey said, deadpanning after he saw I was NOT making a move to jump out of the damn window.

"I'm not jumping, so just leave..." I told him.

"Come on, you can trust me. Throw your bag down first," Mikey told me.

I threw the bag down and Mikey caught it with ease. He put it down and held out his arms again, waiting for me to jump down.

"Fuck it..." I thought. I hopped out the window and fell into Mikey's arms. Oh. Well. THAT wasn't so bad now was it?

He smiled happily and put me down.

"Let's go! We have a lot to discuss," Mikey said, getting on his motorcycle and waiting for me to get on behind him. I did, and we headed off to Mikey's house.
