Despite the various gangs and their activity in the surrounding areas of Shibuya, one girl was almost outright outcast, apparently her school nickname was Menhera for the way she wore her clothes and acted. Only wore black, rarely ever smiled or interacted with others outside of her childhood friend, a boy named Hanagaki Takemichi who was your textbook delinquent. She smoked cigarettes, minded her business, her name even meant purple as her first name was Murasaki last name Watanabe, she had one friend Takemichi and just hung around his friends. "Murasaki, what are you still doing in this place?" Akkun, Sendo Atsushi who was an extremely close friend of Takemichi said with worry as she puffed on her cigarette watching Takemichi's fight. He got involved with a gang and she seemed to follow him just to keep an eye on the blonde haired idiot, "I'm watching if I have to jump in." Was her cocky reply, being a taller female due to being only half Japanese it wasn't hard for her to stick out with her curled hair. "Takemichi come on! Fuck him up or let me jump him!" Murasaki shouted as all of the five boys tried to hold her back while the older gang members kept on laughing, smiling at her struggle. "That your girlfriend?" Kiyomasa said behind his cigarette as Murasaki threw hers at him, right as a tall man walked in between her and Kiyomasa. "You've got quite a crowd, why are ya picking on a little girl Kiyomasa?" A tall lanky man with a dragon tattoo on his shaved head which had a Mohawk and a braid on it. The fight had just heated up and Mohawk and a smaller guy came in time to stop it, just when all the idiots crowded around started bowing and shouting president, she was confused. "Oi don't hurt her, I dragged her here!" Takemichi was oddly protective as she tried to become a bit smaller despite it being impossible to do so especially as the two newcomers stared at her. The taller one kicked Kiyomasa hard, sending him flying right next to her as she looked over to Takemichi in fear mixed with surprise, these dudes, whoever they were meant business yet it intrigued her. "Hey, cutie. I'm not gonna hurt your boyfriend okay?" He was called Draken by the others as he leaned down to her level since despite being tall he was huge compared to her. "He's not my boyfriend!" She blushed a shade of bright red the same as Takemichi, it'd been a common occurrence for people to ask the two of them that since they were childhood friends. "Interesting. Takemichi right? And your name?" The shorter guy, addressed solely as president spoke up, leaning in close to look at Murasaki which made Draken chuckle from how much interest he had in her. "My name is Watanabe Murasaki." Humming he turned to Takemichi and knelt down over him, "Since I'm the type to not wanna make a cute chick cry you're gonna be my bitch from today onwards Takemicchi." Mikey told him casually, smiling all while being the most intimidating man they had ever seen, his dark eyes and mannerisms all were chilling. Then Mikey proceeded to beat the shit out of Kiyomasa as Murasaki watched in mild awe, he really was the boss and he was so strong despite being shorter than her, Mikey of course was a formidable fighter in his own right she could tell. "Let's go home Kenchin, see you later Takemicchi, Murasakicchi." He smiled at them both before Draken escorted him out, winking at her as he passed by whilst Mikey rattled on. "I've never seen her before, Watanabe huh? She was hot!" Mikey beamed, radiating as Draken laughed at how excited he had become over a woman which has never happened before. "Hot? I see it, she has two nose piercings." Draken noticed first that she was a little different, had nose piercings and pierced ears all the way, wore all black with a pair of high black boots with red laces. She dressed nothing like most females they knew of in their area, certainly new due to her looks she had curly big hair, was tall, curvy and he'd seen her smoking but she looked so cute doing it. "I like her, Murasakicchi." Little did she know, Murasaki had no idea that now she was going to be involved in the incoming gang wars and fights all due to Mikey's interest in her. "Let's go to class cmon Takemichi." Standing inside the hall with the blonde haired delinquent the two walked slowly to class, the always slept or gave each other answers anyways. Today was different than usual because today Mikey and Draken barged into their classroom, Draken's head almost hitting the ceiling as Mikey waved to the two of them, sat next to each other. "Let's go play Takemicchi, Murasakicchi!" The teacher couldn't say a word to Mikey as both of them skipped class, "Um right what's all of this then?" Draken took a look to what she was pointing at, then peered down at her before Mikey chuckled at the expression on Takemichi that he always wore. "The trash? Pissed me off so I took 'em down a peg." She actually giggled at that, Mikey was just as surprised as Draken as he made them all form a row for them all to walk on. "I guess we're going on an adventure Takemichi-kun." Murasaki wore a smile, even though Takemichi was on a mission of his own he didn't remember twelve years ago being so fun for him. "Murasakicchi walk with me." The command of Mikey didn't go unheard by her childhood friend, who pushed her up ahead as the four walked through the halls of the school. Murasaki was about 5'8, had long curly hair, a pair of golden eyes, wore bandages and black oversized clothing, wore fishnets carried a little black knife plus she had a certain aura about her Mikey noted. "Oh god, Hinata!" Murasaki was in shock as Hinata, who was Takemichi's girlfriend came up to them to get Takemichi and she slapped Mikey in the process as one angry Draken grabbed her by the wrist. "Oi, I swear don't do anything stupid." She whisper yelled at Takemicchi who ignored Mura and her pleas, opting to threaten Draken. Mikey at first pretended to get mad just for a show of force, apparently Mikey would never hit a girl, he had said so and Draken and Mikey thought Takemichi was cool for protecting Hina and by defeat Murasaki. "Seems like a nice girl, take care of her." Mikey's voice was almost childlike and serene but now he was serious, "And most guys wouldn't say I won't give her up or stuff like that, not nowadays in the Showa era." The way Draken spoke was so silly to Murasaki as she held in her laughter while struggling to do so. "At first I was worried you guys were punks like Takemichi-kun but I think you're good men. Maybe you can help Takemichi man up so he can get a date with Hina-chan." She teased as Takemichi had gone bright red, "First time we been called good men, nee Kenchin?" Sat on the back of Takemichi's bike, Mikey talked to Draken who had Murasaki on the back of his bike making her hold onto him for safety. "Hey by a girl no less, how do you and Takemicchi know each other anyways." Draken questioned deliberately, "Childhood friends, I never was a popular kid since I'm not fully Japanese but I have Takemichi-kun." They all were talking for a while, riding around on bikes before reaching the river bank where all four of them sat down in the grass. Hair blowing in the breeze as her and Takemichi sat next to Mikey with him in between them, Draken had opted to stand but it wasn't odd as Mikey lead the conversation about how Takemichi reminded him of his dead older brother. Murasaki and Takemichi were his friends now and by default in the gang was what neither of them realized, Touman was an extremely violent gang but as children, none of it mattered to them. "Back in my brothers time those guys fought, took care of their own and what was lame about them? That's why I'm going to create an era for delinquents." Mikey's words struck a chord with Takemichi as she'd beamed at him, "I'm in, Takmichi-kun what do you think?" Murasaki placed her hair behind her ear, her hood down for once as she put a cig in her mouth while Takemichi lit it. "But am I cool enough? If she's in I'm in!" Of course that wasn't the real reason he joined, his goal was to rewrite their past to avoid the deaths of his girlfriend Hina, the death of Akkun and Draken. Takemichi had the ability to go back twelve years in time to the day, to fix what he messed up back then and he was starting with Mikey and Murasaki, before he came back he didn't even remember either of them. "Hey? Why is he spacing out like that all the time." Mura had snapped her fingers in front of his face, a glare settled on Takemichi as she looked to Mikey in confusion. "What!" Takemichi returned from his stupor, shrugging it off but it didn't go by unnoticed that was for sure because even with Murasaki she noticed a change. "I don't think that's Takemichi, he's changed a lot." Murasaki was sitting on a stoop talking to a couple of boys in the Touman gang, Takemichi went to see Hina while she stuck around Draken and Mikey. "So, he changed. What are you trying to say huh." It was funny, Drakens tone was so serious but he didn't even come off as judging as she tried to bite back a grin. "Thinkin' he might've had an epiphany that's all. Takemichi is childish but in a sense I feel as if he's suddenly gotten older." She hid behind her cigarette, half full ice cold drink sat beside the lighter that was carried by her everyday. "Epiphany is a good word for it, I mean your the one who knows him best right?" Mikey had a carefree smile on his face, it was almost like he was trying to comfort her but she pushed it down deeper. "Right." Nodding in response, Murasaki felt unsure but for the first time she found herself easily making friends in the gang. First she became close with Draken, Mikey was attached to her and made her go with him just about everywhere same as Ken which was why she met the leaders of Toman, who started the gang in 2003. "Murasakicchi, I want you to meet the boys." Exuberant and as handsome as ever he had a hand on her waist as he introduced her to four people. "Who is she?" Baji asked, staring at her albeit too hard as Kazutora questioned Mikey as well since all of them had never seen him with a girl. "Yeah, I think I saw her with Takemichi. Hi I'm Mitsuya, this is Hakkai, Baji and Kazutora." A boy with short gray hair introduced them all as she had greeted them, "Watanabe Murasaki, I've never talked to so many people at once..Mikey why'd you put them up to this?" She whined, placing her head on his shoulder face first as Mikey's hand patted her head. "Murasakicchi is one of us now, she's Takemicchi's childhood friend so take care of her." They all shouted in unison as Murasaki covered her ears, "So is she dating you president?" Baji asked, leaning in close to Murasaki as she stared back at him unblinking and smirked. "Baji-kun right? Nah, we aren't. I think he wishes we were." Murasaki was one of the only women any of them met that could go toe to toe with Mikey, he merely winked at her. "Of course I do, darling~!" Everyone laughed, it seemed as if Hakkai even was starting to feel less fearful of women the more time he spent around her. It took virtually no time for Mura to meet all of the key members, even meeting the twins Souta and Nahoya, Inui and Chifuyu as well, just in time for the fight against Mobeius and Hanma. She was friends with everyone in Toman including the members that were not a part of the founders of the gang, Baji and most of the guys were very close with her since they knew her when they were kids. Murasaki only knew Takemichi since she met him after losing her memory in an attack on Toman, Mikey and all of the founding members grew up together alongside her but it was a silent agreement to not add insult to injury. A mutual yet binding pact to not cause suffering for Murasaki anymore, however not all of those memories were gone at least underneath her unconscious mind, they laid dormant.
