Now and Then: A Second Chance (Various! Tokyo Revengers Characters X OC)

Reborn

July 4th, 2017

In which Misaki Izano, 27 years old, is at the subway station. 

"Huh...the subways to Shibuya are a lot more clustered than they used to be..." Misaki mumbled under her breath before letting out a soft sigh and adjusting the heavy bag on her shoulder.

As she battled her way through the throngs of hurried people, she tried her best to push memories from the past to the back of her mind. Her only thoughts were on why  she was here now. 

I don't know why he wants me back here, of all times...

Her older brother, Akira, had recently run into some property and money that he found out was supposed to be given to them both years back when their parents passed. However, instead of just splitting the money and sending it to her, as she requested, and then demanded, he required that she was to come back to Japan to pick it up to go over the details as it was urgent.

What Akira failed to realize was that when Misaki left to America at age sixteen to stay with their grandparents after the many events that involved them, was that Misaki never planned to come back to Japan.

Ever.

But she desperately needed the money. Not that Misaki wasn't well-off. In fact, she had quite the stash of savings and investments over in America that she had garnered throughout the years, eventually starting her own private security and training business. But, she had been wanting to expand for quite some time now, although it wouldn't have been feasible anytime soon. That is, until her brother called. 

As Misaki finally made it to her line, she stood among the groups of people patiently waiting for their cart to appear. She felt the presence of someone else beside her, and quickly side-eyed who it was to see a young man who was probably about her age with greasy shoulder-length black hair and disheveled clothing. She could hear him muttering under his breath and it seemed like he was having an existential crisis of some sort. 

She chuckled to herself softly, hoping not to catch the attention of the man beside her. 

He kind of reminds me of...

Before she could even finish her thought, she saw him fly forward towards the tracks. Her eyes widened and the people around her gasped in shock and awe. She could hear the woosh of the cart quickly making its way towards them, and without another thought, she dropped her bag and jumped down onto the tracks to help the man whos eyes were widened in shock and fear. 

As she grabbed him, she heard him softly murmur, "No way..." 

Before she knew it, she was staring into the light of the oncoming heap of metal.

In the instant she knew she was going to die, she couldn't think of anyone else besides them.
