"Oh? Takemichi, you're awake" you glanced at him as he get up from laying.

"Why are you here?" He looked at you shocked

"Just keeping an eye on you in case those guys comes back. I'll protect you for Hina!" You gave him a thumbs up

He then layed his eyes on Mikey who's sitting beside him

"Takemicchi, you don't like Kisaki?" He asked

Takemichi just stared at him. Mikey then sighed

"It sure is hard to grow members, just when we get new members others starts leaving." he glanced at Takemichi "I have one favor for you"

"What is it?"

"Bring Baji back to Toman before the fight"

"If I do that, will you kick Kisaki out?"

"I will, but if you fail... I'll kill you"

The next day, you were out walking to the mall to shop when you saw Takemichi walking in a street
You went to him

"Yo, Takemichiiii" you then noticed the guy infront of him with black hair with yellow highlights. He glanced at you and smiled.

"I'm sorry y/n I'm quite busy right now"

"Is he your friend?" He hesitated for a bit

"Y-yeah, you can say that."

"Then can I tag along with where you're going?"

The guy infront nodded

"I'm y/n" you ran beside him and took your hand out to shake his

"Kazutora"

You arrived at an abandoned arcade with causion signs 'no trespassing' and a picture of an angel without it's head in the glass.

You went inside as you look around seeing guys in Valhalla uniform. You looked at Takemichi thinking he's a traitor since he's hanging out with a Valhalla member

"Takemichi..you're-" you got cut off as you heard a few grunts in the front with punch sounds

You three walked to the front where you stood shocked seeing Baji beating Chifuyu up.

"Baji-san?" You called covering your mouth shocked at what's going on.

"Kazutora-kun, what's going on here?" Takemichi asked

"What do you mean? It's a loyalty test... in order to prove that he's loyal switching from Toman to Valhalla"

Baji punched Chifuyu once again with blood splattering from his face.

"C-chifuyu"

"Is this good enough for you, Hanma-kun?" He asked taking his hair tie off

You saw a man sitting infront with tattoo on both of the back of his palm.

He smiled and looked up. His eyes averted from Baji to you, to Takemichi, then to you again.

"Kazutora" he called out

"Hai~"

"Who said you can bring your chic here?"

"She wanted to tag along"

"Did you get him?"

"Yeah he's right here, Hanagaki Takemichi. Toman's new member" he stared at Takemichi who's sweatdropping right now

The guy with tattoos on his hand walked forward

"You're Hanagaki? Step forward." He spoke

Takemichi looked more scared than he is before.
