Tokyo Revengers; Sacrifice

Chapter 20

Amaterasu Akiko P.O.V.

"Would you look at that. Broken arm and a broken leg and she still got spunk" Hanma says. "Guess Mikey wouldn't choose just any other girl huh?" Kazutora says. "I told you he wouldn't. Now what do you want to do?" Baji asks. Hanma grabs my cheeks in his hand and grins. "Maybe I'm going to kill him, and make her mine." He says evilly. "I'd rather fuck a corpse than be yours" I growl. The other guys laugh, making Hanma even more angry as he punches me once more in the face. "Maybe I'll just kill you, you're not worth the trouble" Hanma says, stepping aside. I spit once more blood in the ground as I look up. Silently Souta and Ichiro walk up to us in the ally, and I don't think I've ever see an angrier expression than what is on their faces right now. "You're going to regret this" I say. "I told you, I'm not afraid of Mikey" Baji says. "Who said anything about Mikey?" Ichiro asks and right at that moment, Souta cocks his gun. Baji, Kazutora and Hanma immediately turn around. "Ichiro-san?" Hanma asks as Ichiro lights a cigarette. Souta places the gun against Hanma's forehead. "Ichiro-sama to you. Learn some respect" he growls. "You know. Out of respect for your family I let you roam free." Ichiro says as he exhales a cloud of smoke. "I know you think you're all that and kids got to stumble and fall you know" Ichiro says as he walks toward me. "So that one time, I let slide. But I've got to draw the line somewhere. This is the second time you laid hands on my baby girl. Do you have a death wish, Hanma?" Ichiro asks and the look on his face scares me. Hanma turns around to look at me. "Your baby girl?" He asks surprised. "He broke my arm and my leg, Otosama" I say, looking up at him. "You're saying that Mikey is dating the daughter of the biggest Yakuza boss in Tokyo?" Baji asks, and I'm not sure if he sounds more surprised or more impressed. "Why don't you take Akiko-sama to the hospital, Ichiro-sama. I'll take care of this" Souta says. "No need, Souta" Ichiro says as he lifts me in his arms. "We know their cute faces now. You know who to call" Ichiro says as he grins.

Because of Ichiro and my grandfather I have a private room, somewhere with a nice view. With my arm and my leg in a cast I'm quite bored so at least the view is nice. Luckily I get to go home today. I close my eyes when I feel Mikey's lips against my forehead. "How are you doing?" He asks softly. "I'm alright" I say shrugging. "At least I won't have to go to school for a while" I say grinning. Mikey doesn't respond, just softly strokes my bruised cheek. "Please...just let Ichiro handle this one" I say, placing my hand on his. Mikey smiles. "You don't have to worry about me" he says. I frown. "I can see that you're angry, Mikey-kun" I say softly. "Of course he's angry. I am angry too" Draken says annoyed. "How are you not angry?" He asks. "I am...I just.." I stop talking. "You what?" Mikey asks. "I'm scared okay? I'm scared" I say, looking away embarrassed. "You're scared?" Draken asks, as he raises his eyebrows. "Yes. If it weren't for Baji, Hanma would've raped me" I say. "But Baji broke your leg?" Mikey asks. "Yes" I sigh. "It doesn't add up" Draken says. "Apparently even he has limits" I shrugging. "So you're scared of Hanma?" Draken asks. "I'm scared that next time he won't bring anyone so he can finish the job" I say. "Maybe you should stay off the streets for a while" Mikey says. I cross my arms. "I won't stay cooped up inside" I say annoyed. Mikey sighs deeply and then smiles slightly as he once more strokes my bruised cheek. "You're so stubborn" he says. I lean back in the pillow and smile back. "You're saying it like you dislike it" I say. "Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't" Mikey says amused. "You just focus on healing now alright?"  He says. "I don't like the look on your face right now, Mikey-kun" I say. "You don't?" Mikey asks chuckling. "Well that's too bad" he adds. Mikey bends over and kisses me softly. I softly take his shirt in my hand as he pulls back. "Don't go" I whisper. "Let go. You'll stretch my shirt" Mikey says softly. I let go of his shirt and Mikey kisses me again, softly. "Let's go, Kenchin" he says as he leaves the room. "I'll call you later okay, rest up" Draken says as he softly pats the cast on my leg before he follows Mikey. I sigh deeply. "Are you alright, Akiko-sama?" Souta asks. "I want to go home" I say.

"You've got a lot of guts, calling me" I say softly. It stays silent for a little while. "What is your father planning to do?" Baji asks softly. "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you" I say coldly. "It's not what you think, Akiko" Baji says. "So you didn't beat Matsuno-san to a pulp and you didn't break my leg" I say dryly. "You don't understand" Baji says. "I don't" I say. Baji groans softly. "Why are you calling me, Baji?" I ask. "I can't tell you" Baji groans and I hear the desperation in his voice. "Let's just say that everything I'm doing is for the sake of the founding members." Baji whispers. I raise my eyebrows. "Please. I can't tell you anything else. But I can't be killed just yet either" Baji says. I sigh deeply. "I can't make any promises. But I will talk with my father" I say softly. Baji sighs deeply and obviously relieved. "But that's just my father. Mikey and Draken are pretty pissed too" I say. "I can handle them" Baji says. I close my eyes for a second. "I don't know what you're planning to do, Baji. But you can't shoulder everything alone" I say softly. Baji doesn't respond for a while. "You can't help me" Baji says. "I'm not offering my help. You made sure I can't do anything for a while" I say dryly. "Than what are you offering?" Baji asks. I sigh deeply. "My phone is always on, and near, Baji" I whisper. It's silent for a long time. "Thank you" he says and hangs up. "Akiko-sama" Souta says on the other side of my bedroom door. "Your grandfather is on his way" he adds. "He can come in. I'm decent" I say. A little while later the door opens. "It hurts me to see you like this, sweet child" grandfather says as he walks in. "Oh this is nothing, Ojiisama" I say smiling as I sit up in my futon. "Broken bones heal" I add. Grandfather frowns as he sits down next to the futon and places his hand on my forehead. "Broken bones are not nothing, Akiko" grandfather says. "I will be fine" I say. "I'm grateful you care so much. That everyone is taking care of me. Thank you" I say, bowing my head to my grandfather. "Raise you're head my sweet child. That is how it feels to be loved" Grandfather says smiling.
