𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑬𝑬 𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑫𝑺...𝑴𝑰𝑲𝑬𝒀 𝑰𝑺 𝑫𝑬𝑨𝑫!!

1st Person POV-

Next thing I know, I'm being dragged onto an airplane to the Philippines.

"Nice," I thought. "Sadly, this isn't a vacay."

Takemichi told me to stay with Naoto, while he went to go meet Mikey himself. I agreed, because I wanted to follow the plot. Shortly, after Takemichi went in, Naoto and I follow after. We couldn't leave him alone, obvi. Mikey is dangerous, so what type of friends would we be??

__________

"Yeah...they were the best," Mikey said, referring to Draken and Mitsuya. "And I killed them."

He had a dark look on his face, Naoto covered my mouth to keep me from gasping so loud.

"...What?!" I heard Takemichi say.

"Takemitchy. The old Toman doesn't exist anymore. All of them...everyone...everyone. I killed them all. But...I couldn't bring myself to kill one. Y/n," Mikey said, turning away from Takemichi.

I...froze. My mouth...? Agape. My thoughts? Scattered. Hotel? Trivago. (I'm sorry I'm literally so unfunny so lemme stop)

"Y/n...I wanted to kill her. I did...I have to get rid of all my past but...I just can't. There's something about her...that makes me feel different about her than you and the rest of them. If Y/n was here...she'd be so disappointed in me. It's like I can feel her presence now. She's either angry...or sad...or scared...So, I'm asking you...I want you to end this," Mikey muttered. "Kill me."

It was silent. I was silent...Takemichi had tears in his eyes, and hell, so did I. What does he mean he feels different about me than everyone else?? Does he...nahhh...that can't be it...can it?! Holy shit...

"Kill me," Mikey said again, stepping down from the pile of rubble and coming closer to Takemichi. "I want this all to end here. End my dream."

"...Wha-what are you saying, Mikey? Please stop. I don't get this at all. We meet up, and you ask me to kill you...I just wanted to see you again," Takemichi said, his voice trembling.

"Just wanted to see me again...I think Hakkai said something like that right before he died..." Mikey muttered.

Takemichi gulped in fear.

"It's hard to make your dreams come true. 'Make a new age for delinquent.' Toman was supposed to keep advancing toward that goal," Mikey said. "But, before I knew it...Things got difficult. The first time I ever killed someone..."

"I didn't feel a thing. And I thought...most of the problems in this world...can easily be solved by killing people," Mikey said.

Takemichi's jaw dropped at Mikey insanity.

"Just erase anyone who gets in the way," Mikey said, smiling.

Takemichi's eyes started to water again and grabbed Mikey's shoulders in determination and said, "You're wrong, Mikey!! You haven't changed at all!! You're just the same as back then!"

"Takemitchy, stop."

"I can tell by just looking at you! You haven't changed one bit!" Takemichi yelled.

"Stop it."

"You haven't changed. So please...please!! Don't talk about killing people!!"

Mikey grabbed Takemichi by his collar and slammed him to the ground.

"Takemichi...!" I whispered very quietly. Naoto put a hand on my shoulder to stop me.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Mikey snapped. He then shoved a gun onto Takemichi's face.

"Don't look at me like that..." I heard Mikey whisper. "Pick up the gun. Either you kill me. Or you die. The past won't ever come back."

BANG!

My head snaps towards Naoto and then I look over at Takemichi and Mikey.

"...MIKEY!!" I screamed in horror.

"Takemichi!! Are you alright?!" Naoto yelled.

"Omg...omg...he's dead!" I panicked in disbelief.

"...Naoto?" Takemichi said, panting slightly. "Y/n...?"

He sat up a bit and saw Mikey's dead body. I was frozen in my spot completely, not knowing what to do.

Takemichi's eyes widened.

"Mikey!"

"Takemichi!! Get away from him!" Naoto yelled after him.

The gun, that Mikey was about to use to kill Takemichi, had the safety on.

"He wasn't planning to kill him?!" I heard Naoto mutter.

"Mikey! Mikey!" Takemichi yelled, trying to wake him up.

"Naoto Tachibana, huh..." Mikey whispered. "Is that...Y/n as well."

"Mikey..." I sobbed.

"Thank you. Takemitchy...probably couldn't have done it," Mikey said.

"Finally...It's over."

I ran to Mikey's side. "Why...did it have to end like this...?"

"Y/n...My life was nothing but pain," Mikey answered, reaching out for me. I grabbed his hand immediately.

"Don't say that...I'll change things! I'll go back to the past. I'll do it over. I'll do everything I can to make sure this future doesn't happen. I swear...I swear I'll never give up!!" Takemichi declared.

"Thanks, Takemitchy. For trying to comfort me. Makes me happy, even if you're lying."

Mikey was quiet for a while, then he said, "Y/n, Takemitchy...your hands are so warm." His eyes were full of tears, it's like they were becoming more grey, fading away, like they were going out like a light.

"Y/n...I..." He never finished his sentence.

"You what?!" I asked. "Mikey??"

He's dead...

"No. Answer me. Hey...Mikey..."

Takemichi hugged him. I let go of his limp hand, blankly staring at his corpse, trying to process the fact that one of the people I've become attached to in the universe... has died right in front of me.

"Takmichi...Y/n..." Naoto said.

Takemichi looked up, he was crying, but he had that one determined look in his eyes.

I was walking with Chifuyu not too long after Takemichi and I went back to the past

"I hate all this rain..." Chifuyu said, holding the umbrella over us.

"I know, it's freezing," I agreed.

Then we look to our right, to see who? Takemichi Hana-has-a-fatty-gaki punching a tire at the playground.

"What is he DOING?" I whisper to Chifuyu worriedly.

"Yeah, what the hell are you doing?" Chifuyu echoed me as we walked up to Takemichi.

"Chifuyu?! Y/n?!" Takemichi said, quickly turning around to face us.

"Wh-why are you two here?!" Takemichi stuttered, embarrassed.

"Why are we here...? We were heading to your place together, and here you are punching a tire like a dumbass..." Chifuyu answered.

"Punching a tire in the rain?? That's creepy, man..." I said.

"Shut up!! I'm busy! I don't have time to play around!" Takemichi yelled to us.

"What's with the attitude?" Chifuyu said, having an irk mark on his face.

"I know he ain't talking to me like that..." I muttered, crossing my arms.

"I'm training right now," Takemichi said, punching the tire again. "So I can be stronger!"

Takemichi yelped as he got smacked by the tire. I laughed at him and he got up blushing in embarrassment and said, "ANYway! If I don't get stronger, then I can't change the future!"

"...Huh? Are you...Takemichi from the future?" Chifuyu said, his eyes widening in realization.

"Must be," I added.

Takemichi stopped for awhile to tell Chifuyu about the recent events.

"Whaaat?!! Everyone's...dead?! And Mikey killed them?!!" Chifuyu said, his jaw dropped.

His silly self had dropped the umbrella, making me get my hair wet so I picked it up and put it over my head again.

"That's why...I'm gonna get stronger," Takemichi said, going back to punching the tire. We all know he's just taking his frustration out on the tire, but okay.

"Sooo...you're fighting a tire? What are you, a grade-schooler?!" Chifuyu said, making fun of him.

"Shut up!" Takemichi yelled. "My future self quit Toman...and everyone came to my defense. I'm so...pathetic,"

As he was punching the tire, I swear I saw some blood.

"If I wanna stay in Toman...I gotta get strong enough to be seen as an equal."

"Hey...! Lemme see your hands." Chifuyu said, grabbing Takemichi's arm.

They were cut and bruised and all bloody. And so was that tire.

"Have you been punching this thing all day??" I asked  incredulously.

"Woah!" Chifuyu said, wincing at the extreme wounds on Takemichi's fists.

Eventually, we got that boy to stop. Takemichi was laying flat on his back on the ground crying.

"...Sounds like a real shitty future," Chifuyu said, sitting down next to him. I squatted, cause I don't wanna get my booty wet. "...But I'm happy, to be honest."

"Cause I got to see you again," Chifuyu smiled at Takemichi.

Takemichi's eyes widened.

"We thought we wouldn't meet again, remember?"

Takemichi began to tear up. I helped him back up so he could sit up straight. It was silent for a while until Chifuyu said, "I think...I know what I gotta do."

"What?" I asked him.

"I gotta beat Mikey's ass."

"Uh, what the hell, dude?" Takemichi asked him. "You'll die."

"Honestly..." I commented, sweatdropping.

"Yeah. I get killed, right?" Chifuyu asked.

"No...that's not what I meant..." Takemichi said.

"I mean, it pisses me off. How I just get killed without a fight." Chifuyu said. "Mikey's way too strong. So there's nobody who can take him on seriously."

"I can," I said, not even thinking.

"No, Y/n, not even you," Chifuyu said, rolling his eyes at me.

"Ugh." I mumbled, pouting.
