Tokyo Revengers; Sacrifice

Chapter 1

Amaterasu Akiko P.O.V.

A slight smile appears on my lips when I see Takemichi's surpised face. Look for the green haired  girl with the dragon tattoo on her back! "Kikochin" Mikey says. I cross my arms and look at the blonde haired teenager in front of me. He takes my chin in his hand and turns my head. "You look worse than yesterday" he says. I pull his hand away. "It's none of your business" I say. "When are you going to let me kill him?" Mikey asks. "Ever since she knocked him out, he's head over heels for her but she hasn't accepted him yet" Draken whispers to Takemichi, as he seems even more surprised. "That bastard isn't worth going to jail for" I answer Mikey. I put a cigarette between my lips but Mikey pulls it out. "You shouldn't smoke, it's bad for you" he says smiling. "It's none of your business" I say once more as I try to grab the cigarette from him, but he keeps it out of reach. "Who is that with you?" I ask, looking at Takemichi, as if I don't know who he is. "That is Takemichy, he's alright. He stood up against that idiot Kiyomasa " Draken says. I softly push Mikey aside and jump of the fence I'm sitting on. "Kyomasa?" I ask. I grab Takemichi's wrist and inspect his arm. "This small fry? And he isn't dead?" I ask. "We stepped in" Mikey says. Takemichi chuckles awkwardly as he pulls his wrist from me. "If you're stronger than Mikey-kun, Kyomasa must be nothing for you" he says. "I'm not stronger than Mikey-kun" I say, looking at him surprised. "I know where to hit to knock someone out" I say, I turn my back toward him and quickly snatch the cigarette from Mikey. Before I can light it, Mikey takes it from me again. "You coming?" He asks, smiling amused. I want to ask where to but I know that anywhere is better than home. I also know that he knows. "I don't know" I sigh. "I don't know if I should" I say, tilting my head slightly. "It's safer for you out there with us right?" Mikey asks, tilting his head as well. I can see that Takemichi has a lot of questions but I'll explain to him later. "Perhaps" I say. Mikey then grabs my wrist and pulls me with him. "Just come" he says.

"I'm off!" I shout, as I rush out the front door. Mikey, Draken and Takemichi are waiting for me in front of our front lawn. "Hold it!" Father roars, making me freeze as I'm halfway down the path toward the boys. I turn around and see my father standing in the doorway. He is a tall, large, very muscular man with the same hair color as me, in a buzz, cut dressed in a tank top and shorts with his arms covered in tattoos. "Where do you think you're going, dressed like a skank?" He asks stepping out of the house with a cigarette dangling in the corner of his mouth. Behind him is a woman I've never seen before. Right..I'm the skank. I thought I'd escaped all this. You better be worth it Hina! "Out" I answer the man. His eyes shift to the boys behind me. "Who are they?" He asks. I turn my head slightly to look at them before facing my father again. "Friends" I say. This annoys him clearly. He blows out smoke and hear him mutter something that sounds like whore. "Aren't you forgetting something?" He then asks. I press my lips together and take a bundle of money out of my back pocket and hand it to my father. He counts it slowly and then looks at me. "You're  stealing from me?!" He roars. "I had to eat! There was nothing in the fridge. I just got groceries!" I say, feeling panicked. Fathers eyes shift to the boys behind me again and then scoffs. "Don't let it happen again" he turns around and goes back inside, slamming the door behind him. "Akiko-chan." Takemichi says softly as I reach them. "Let's just go" I say, walking past them, continuing to walk as I know they'll join me anyway. I lower my head when I feel a hand on my upper back, knowing it's Mikey's. "Please don't tell anyone what you saw" I mumble. "It's no ones business" Mikey says. "You need to get out of there Akiko-chan" Takemichi says. "He's right, Akiko" Draken says. "It's not that easy, Takemichy" I sigh. Then I glance at Draken. "You know that. Especially for a woman" I say. Mikey's hand glides up from my back toward the curve of my neck toward my shoulder. He squeezes softly. "Let's just get something to eat." He says. "I can't" I say. "I'll treat you" he answers.

"They seem to like you, Takemichi." I say with my cellphone against my ear, looking up at the sky. "For now just keep trying to get close to them. We have to succeed no matter what" I say, leaning my butt against the fence. "You're closer than I thought" Takemichi answers. "I've been doing this longer, but I can't go back and forth like you anymore. So I have no idea if it's helping" I say. "I'll let you know" Takemichi says. I smile. "Alright. I gotta go, he's coming" I say. I say goodbye and hang up before putting my phone into my pocket as Mikey is walking toward me. "I gotta go" I say. "Alright, I'll walk you home" he says, putting his hands in his pockets. "You don't have to" I say. He smiles at me. "I do, let's go" he says. In silence we walk toward my home, it's a walk of 20 minutes and neither of us says a word but it's not awkward. My father is already on the front lawn, smoking a cigarette while looking up at the sky. "You're late" he says. I don't respond and hand him the money I collected from his venues today. He counts it again and before he puts it on his pocket he hands me some. "Find yourself a place to stay tonight. You can't come in" he says. Before I can ask why a woman, a different one from this morning walks up. Father puts his arm around her shoulders and takes her in. "That's not your mother is it?" Mikey asks. "My mother died years ago" I answer. "Come on. You can stay with me, safe that money" Mikey says. I turn toward him. "Why would you do that for me?" I ask. Mikey grins at me. "Because you're my girl" he says. I chuckle. "But I'm not" I say. "You are. You just don't realize it yet" he says, grabbing my hand. I lower my head when Mikey pulls me with him. "Thank you" I say softly. "Where would you usually go?" Mikey asks. "Probably somewhere outside. It's warm outside anyway" I say. "Call me when this happens. You can just stay at my place" he says. I sigh. "You really don't have to.." I say. Mikey stops walking and looks at me. "I want to"
