Akkun stood on the edge of the building his jacket subtly swaying behind him.

"I-what??"

"I thought so..." Akkun said dreamily as he stared into the night sky, "It's like being stuck in a mansion here. I have everything people desire but I'm so damn poor. I'm not free, I'm caged. And lonely."

"Akkun...I can help with that! I'm here now!" Takemichi said inching closer to the man on the edge, Akkun laughed a bittersweet one.

"I'm in too deep now." He said as his head peered over the tall building, smiling slightly he turned back, "Sorry, I can't help you like you want me too. I think Draken and Aiko was the trigger for how Mikey is now. Anyway."

"Save us, crybaby hero."

Takemichi ran forward his hand grazed the flowing jacket before the person infront of him had completely disappeared. Blinking a few times the man edged closer to the place where Akkun had just been. He hoped, in some way, anyway that he had survived.  He wanted to believe that someone could survive a drop from that height but a little part of him knew that it was impossible.

He looked over the edge his heart pounding, hs eyes met a unbearable sight which made his heart drop and the surrounding world become silent. Akkun was laid on the bloodied pavement, his body spread out in a awkward position, a crowd already started to gather but Takemichi failed to hear anything from them.

Sinking down to the ground Takemichi let out a antagonizing cry of pain which seemed to be the only thing he could hear, his whole body shook whilst he cried for the loss of his friend.

The man knew there was no time to waste if he wanted to save Akkun and Mikey. So a few days after they continued to research, after a while they found that Toman split into two factons, the Draken faction and the Mikey faction.

"So did you find anything on Aiko?"

"I didn't. You said she had a lot of authority, right?" Naoto questioned, his eyes staying to the screen of the laptop.

"Yeah. She was defiantly  someone important."

"I couldn't find anything on a female member of Toman at all. And you have no idea if Aiko is really her first name anyway also we don't have a last name so it's very rare I'll find anything. I'll keep looking though."

Takemichi nodded slowly gathering the information, he'd have to find out when he went back. "If only Draken was alive..."

"Oh, yeah that. Here's some newspaper articles on the incident." Naoto said as he brought up a file that read in the headline, "MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT INVOLVED IN FIGHT DIES. 50 MEMBERS OF BIKER GANG BRAWL."

Naoto then continued to explain, "August 3rd, 2005 in the parking lot of Musashi Shrine in the Shibuya Ward of Tokyo, a young man in his 3rd year of middle school was stabbed and died. According to other posts too, the event happened due to the inner strife between the two factions."

Looking at the date Takemichi gasped, "Wait! August 3rd is only two weeks away! And that dispute between Mikey and Draken!? How did that happen? That must be a mistake!"

"Draken-kun and Aiko-chan understand him better than anyone! It's not possible, alright!"

"So. What're you trying to say? That something was behind it?"

Takemichi had, honestly, just got caught up in the moment and didn't actually have any evidence except the fact that he just couldn't imagine any of them trying to hurt the other. "Uh- I don't know? But all I can say is that I have met them and It's just impossible!"

"So, again. What are you suggesting? Ryuguji Ken died that day. Look, we'll look into it more, we have two weeks before he dies forever. Your mission is to save Ryuguji."

"If this mission is successful, you should be able to save them all. Mikey, Sendo , we'll be able to find out who Aiko is and we'll be able to save my sister too. "

Takemichi nodded, "Yea! I'll save them all!"

"Stop with slandering my fucking hair you idiot." Baji shouted at Chifuyu who had expressed how much he hated Baji's long hair, Aiko's staffy barked at Baji.

"Even Aiko's dog hates it. Just cut it off." Chifuyu said, he looked in disgust at the long black hair.

"I like it though. What if someone just yanks your hair though? Just like," She yanked his hair pulling his head back, he winced. 

"I'd punch them obviously. Like this!" Baji ran up to a random older man.

"No, not again!" Aiko called as Baji punched him straight in the nose before running off, Chifuyu and Aiko looked at each other before running off too with Aiko's grey staffy ran ahead too.

---

They arrived at the Toman meeting a bit late, Mikey smiled and greeted them.

"Hiya! How come you're late?"

"Baji punched someone again." Said Chifuyu, his eyes involuntarily rolling at recalling his behavior. "Anyway I'm leaving you now, Aiko. Bye."

"Bye!" She waved him off and Aiko turned to Mikey, "Christ Baji is so insane sometimes." She said rubbing her forehead, Mikey giggled. 

"I know, right! Anyway did you think of a name for this one." He said as he pointed at the male dog. The blue staffy did not tolerate anyone except Aiko even touching him, he tolerated Chifuyu though and that was it. Mikey already knew that touching his was not a good idea.

"Nah, not yet. "

"Name it after me," Draken said out of nowhere joining the group, Aiko squinted.

"Why would I curse my own dog like that?"

Draken huffed, "What?! Anyway I have a cool name, that's the only reason you need." Draken said as he side eyed Takemichi being beat up by Hina.

"No. Anyways I was thinking of Kuma (Bear) anyways so boo hoo." (I JUST USED GOOGLE TRANSLATE DONT COME FOR ME.)

"Jesus christ why the sass goodness."
