II: An Old Friend

"Damn 8 years, huh," Y/n mumbled to herself, walking off the train into the busy streets of Tokyo. Now at 23 years old, Y/n L/n kept her promise and came back to Tokyo to see her friends.

A couple of weeks ago Y/n had contacted Inui and told him that she was visiting, she was sad to hear that no one could make it because everyone was insanely busy. But Y/n did have a train ticket to Tokyo so she decided it would be a miny vacation.

Y/n got stares from men and few women on the streets, now that she was older she had a hypnotic figure. Y/n was often self-conscious, but she would brush it off with good thoughts.

Y/n wondered and had no destination in mind, she was free to do whatever she wanted. She was alone and had an entire day to herself. Y/n walked through a public park and walked up some steps to get to the platform of a bridge. When she was younger she came here with Mikey and some dorayaki and they watched the sunset together.

Since she couldn't see anyone or Mikey, she decided to come to visit the overpass/bridge and watch the sunset over the horizon. A bag of meat buns in hand. The peaceful moment filled with joy and sorrow was quickly interrupted by the voices of two men.

Y/n's curiosity took over and walked down the steps and under the bridge. It was definitely not a sight Y/n wanted to see, to her it seemed sketchy. And indeed it was when she saw a man pull a bag of pills, which she assumed were drugs, out of his pocket and hand it to the much more intimidating man.

The man that made Y/n queasy, had pinkish hair and a mullet. He was dressed formally in a rather attractive suit. He had a sort of red tie and a striped vest, along with matching pants. He was definitely a dangerous man, but he wore it wonderfully.

Y/n decided to leave the situation alone and pretend she hadn't seen it. She began walking away slowly in hopes that the men wouldn't catch her.

Before Y/n took another step, she felt a big hand slither around her waist and the silhouette of a man appeared behind her. His unoccupied hand slid up and grabbed her throat, not fully blocking her airways. She could see pink strands of hair out of the corner of her eyes and the smell of smoke and mahogany filled her nostrils.

"Shit!" Y/n cursed to herself, her body froze and her breathing became heavy, the atmosphere filled with tension.

"Tch, what is a pretty lady like you doing around here, Y/n" The man chuckled, he took a deep breath in and released the smoke of a cigarette on the back of her neck. The sensation sent shivers down her spine, she picked up the courage to try and break free but the mystery man's grip was far stronger than hers.

"How the hell do you know my name?!" Y/n's fiery temper kicked in, under the sudden confidence she was truly terrified.

Then man's grip tightened almost suffocating Y/n. The man, once again, tightened his grip around Y/n's hips causing an unfortunate moan to escape her lips.

The dangerous man chuckled and terror was completely replaced with embarrassment, "Now now, be a good girl and take this pill for me." He whispered in Y/n's ear in a somewhat seductive tone, Y/n tensed and started to struggle once she realized he was about to drug her.

The man found this amusing and quickly shoved the pill into Y/n's mouth, Y/n planned to not swallow the pill but her weak plan quickly went down the drain when the man shoved his fingers completely down her throat, forcing her to swallow the pill.

Y/n began to feel dizzy, her vision was blurring and her limbs became numb. All she could see was a man holding her up, she now noticed that the man had unique scars around his mouth. Like someone, she used to know...

Before the drug completely took over Y/n realized something. It all made sense, the man knew her name, the intimacy, and the unique scars that Y/n always found beautiful. The man before her was an old friend, she hesitated for a moment but built up the courage and decided to speak.

"Sanzu, is that you?" Y/n managed to get out before darkness completely took her over...

~•~

Y/n jolted awake from the sound of a gun being loaded, adrenaline rushed through her veins and she tried to pull free only to find out that she is tied to a chair. She looked up at the mystery man loading the gun and saw her old friend Sanzu.

"Ah, your awake, lovely." He smirked and placed the gun down on a metal tray table. Fear shot through her body, she felt hopeless. She was insanely good at martial arts but there wasn't anything she could do. Y/n hadn't noticed her surroundings before she took a second to look.

She was in an office in the center of Shibuya, it was night time and people still filled the streets. The office was modern and looked expensive, Y/n wondered how the hell someone could get the money to afford all of this.

Y/n watched Sanzu leave the room, "Wait, don't leave!" She blurted out, Sanzu turned around with a devilish smirk on his face.

"I'm only going to retrieve the boss. Don't worry sweetheart, I'll be back." His laugh was coated with insanity. He turn back and walked out the door, slamming it shut which startled Y/n.

"Boss? Who the hell is "Boss". And why the fuck does Sanzu look like he got thrown into a barbie house and came out with pink hair. What the hell is happening!" Y/n thought to herself, she was utterly confused. She came to the conclusion that Sanzu or 'psychotic barbie' had caught her during the drug deal and kidnapped her, so she wouldn't report them to the police.

"Damn it!" Y/n cursed out loud, she wasn't fully herself and wouldn't be able to fight back because the drugs were still in her system.

Y/n froze and fear took over once she heard voices on the opposite side of the office doors, she did her best to turn her head to see who it was but utterly failed and she and the chair fell onto the marble floors. The ropes still tying her down and her head smacking against the hard floors causing her ears to ring.

The door opened slowly and two silhouettes appeared at the doorway, Y/n was on her side. Her cheeks smushed against the cold floors the calculation arms being cut off by the ropes. She definitely looks like a mess.

Y/n saw the familiar silhouette of Sanzu, but he was standing to someone much shorter. The short man had an awful white haircut and extremely visible eyebags. He was dressed in a baggy black shirt and some flowy pants that went to the mid-calves.

Y/n didn't recognize the man at first, but she let out a gasp when she figured it out. She didn't notice the little tears streaming down her face until the drops formed a tiny puddle on the marble.

"It's you Mikey-Kun," Y/n whispered, her voice barely audible. From what Y/n could see, Mikey was speaking to Sanzu and suddenly Sanzu got pissed. She couldn't hear them because her ears were still ringing from hitting her head.

After what felt like forever to Y/n, Sanzu walked off and the Mikey she didn't recognize shut the door and hesitantly walked towards her. Mikey bent down in front of Y/n and brought his hand to her cheek. Y/n flinched at the sudden contact, but she somewhat calmed down after Mikey wiped her tears.

To her surprise Mikey actually smiled, a sense of relief rushed through her but she hadn't fully let her guard down.

Mikey stood up and went to the metal table covered in weapons and grabbed a knife.

"Holy mother of fucking god.." Y/n screamed internally, "He's going to fucking stab me!" As Mikey got closer she began to struggle and attempt to free herself of the ropes. but they were too strong. Mikey bent down and started to cut the ropes.

"You'll die if the ropes continue to cut off your calculation. I don't what that." Mikey smiled, continuing the cut the ropes. Y/n un-tense after realizing Mikey's true intentions. As more and more of the rope was cut free, Y/n automatically felt better. Despite Mikey's terrifying transformation, Y/n was grateful that he was helping her.

After the ropes were cut and a moment of silence, Y/n and Mikey sat across from each other. Neither of them knowing what to say.

"Thank you." Y/n hesitated, Mikey looked up at Y/n with a half-ass smile. Y/n could sense the radiating pain coming from Mikey, and at that moment she truly felt sorry for him.

"Y/n I-" Mikey began but was interrupted by Y/n.

"What is this Mikey?! What the fuck happened to you? Where the hell am I and what are you the "boss" of?" Y/n snapped, she wanted answers and hoped Mikey would give them to her

Mikey didn't laugh, he didn't smile, but he just answered the questions Y/n had been asking herself since she woke up, "You were caught in a drug deal between Sanzu and someone, Sanzu freaked and thought you would go to the authorities so he kidnapped you and brought you here." He paused for a moment and was amused by the plain expression plastered on Y/n's face, "As for what happened to me, that's not important and I don't want to talk about it. But you are in Shibuya City ward in one of Bonten's many buildings."

"Huh, what the hell is Bonten?" Y/n asked confused, Mikey for just a moment seemed to hesitate.

"Bonten is a gang I formed after I disappeared." Mikey reluctantly admitted. Y/n face was smothered in shock and she thought hard for a moment, how the hell would she respond to that?

"Who's all in it? Is it anyone I would know?" Y/n cringed after she realized what she had said, it definitely wasn't the right thing.

Mikey smiled, "I'm the leader, obviously. Sanzu and Kaku are our numbers one and two. And we have four executives and an advisor. The Haitani brothers, Kokonoi, and Kanji are our executives and Takeomi is our advisor."

"Really?" Y/n deadpanned, "Are you serious?"

Y/n's reaction seemed to piss of Mikey, "I'm telling you inclosed secrets because you are an old friend that I trust with my life, I'm not joking. I promise." Mikey seemed sincere. Y/n nervously itched her neck, she was nervous about the answer to the question she was about to ask him.

"What's going to happen to me now?" Y/n gulped, she began fiddling with her hands. Yes, she was physically strong, but she wasn't emotionally strong. At moments Y/n would hesitate or feel remorse.

Mikey hesitated and made a last-minute decision, "You're going to become a member of Bonten, and if you refuse your other choice is death." Mikey smiled.

His ice-cold stare and smiles sent an uneasy shiver down Y/n's spine, "What the hell is happening, this is happening way too fast." Y/n began to breathe heavily, she grabbed her shirt and scrunched it up, making a fist.

Y/n hadn't noticed that Mikey got out of his seat until he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into a hug, Y/n tensed for a moment but reluctantly hugged her old friend back.

"I'm glad to see you again Y/n. I'm sorry." He whispered into Y/n's ear, relief rushed through her and she began laughing. It wasn't a happy laugh, but a rather sad one.

"It's okay Mikey-Kun. I will always be here, until the end of time." Y/n mumbled, tears streaming down her face. She could see Mikey tearing up as well, but he didn't dare show his emotions to anyone.

When they released each other from the embrace they only smiled and enjoyed the peaceful moment, "Y/n, do you want to go see some old friends?" Mikey asked Y/n.

Y/n was happy for a moment, she would be able to see Kokonoi. But would anyone be the same? Because Y/n knew damn well Sanzu and Mikey weren't the same. Not even close to the same. And she dreaded seeing the Haitani brothers, they gave her the creepy vibes and were a little too close in her opinion.

"Sure, I'd be glad." Y/n smiled, Mikey seemed to un-tense a bit. Mikey lead Y/n to an elevator and they went up at least twenty floors. When Y/n and Mikey stepped off the elevator, Y/n was surprised to see a fancy living room sort of thing. It had a pool table and a bar and was just as luxurious as the other rooms Y/n had seen so far.

She had gotten everyone's attention, the Haitani brothers looked over her, they looked confused at first and then the realization kicked in. Sanzu was smirking and had a glass of whiskey in hand. Kaku was sitting on some fancy-ass couch with, who Y/n assumed, were Takeomi and Kanji. Kaku's eyes were wide and almost dropped the computer sitting in his lap, which caused Y/n to chuckle under her breath.

And last but not least, Hajime or Kokonoi dropped his glass of whisky and completely froze. A servant quickly picked up the glass and spilled whisky, and Hajime apologized but his focus was still completely on Y/n. Some of them must not have known Y/n was here or what had happened.

"Everyone, this is Y/n L/n. Most of you know her, but some of us don't." Mikey paused before speaking again, "After today's unfortunate events, Y/n will be joining Bonten as an executive. If you have any complaints. Leave." Mikey finished sternly.

The room was silent before Mikey turned away from Y/n and towards the elevator.

"Wait, Mikey-Kun. Please don't leave me here." Y/n begged, but Mikey smiled and left her there alone in a room with people she barely knew. She reluctantly turned around to face everyone, she gave them a cheesy smile and an awkward wave.

"Welcome Y/n." Kokonoi said with a genuine smile on his face.

"Thanks." Y/n awkwardly smiled again, which made her cringe.

Y/n could tell her life just got a little more interesting...and maybe her life would be action-packed like it used to be. Not dry and boring like it was now.
