Paradise Lost [Tokyo Revengers]

Chapter 38

Chapter 38:

The operation was done a couple of weeks ago and I can finally be discharged this afternoon. Mikey came into my room with a huge smile on his face.

"How are you feeling?" Mikey asked as he sat down beside me.

"There's something I have to tell you," I told Mikey, his smile faded as soon as he noticed I was dead serious.

"What is it?" He asked with a worried look.

"I've been thinking about this for a while now" I started off. "I think I'm stepping down from Toman," I said as I flashed him a sad smile.

His eyes grew wide and were left speechless.

"The doctor said if I get any more head injuries, I could really die next time," I told him "We don't know how this injury and my past head injury could affect me in the future"

"Aka-chin" Mikey looked so sad, I hate that look. I hate the look on people's faces when they pity me.

"I'm doing this so I can stay by your side longer," I told him as I started to cry, "I, Inumaki Akaza, relinquish my position as Tokyo Manji Gang's 6th division captain"

Mikey got up from his seat and hugged me. I couldn't help but burst out crying like a child. I was so fucking pitiful.

"I don't want to leave," I said in between sobs. Mikey continued to rub my back trying to comfort me as much as possible until I calmed down.

"You will always be Toman's 3rd commander," Mikey told me "Even if you're not going to participate anymore, you will always be a huge part of Toman"

I continued to cry my eyes out, letting out all of my frustrations and regrets.

...

[a few weeks later]

[Takemichi's POV]

Draken-kun has invited me to his place so we could talk, he also told me that Mikey-kun has something important to tell me during Toman's next meeting.

I wonder what it is.

We arrived in a brothel where Draken said he lived. Draken-kun said he didn't have parents and the people in this brothel raised him.

I surveyed his room and noticed the pictures that were on his wall.

"Wow, so many pictures! There's Mikey-kun!" I said as I looked at all the pictures that were stuck on his wall. Most of them are of Toman. "Emma-chan is here too, you must really care about her!"

"Shut up!" Draken-kun said, annoyed.

Then I saw one with Baji-kun in it.

"Baji-kun" I mumbled.

"They're all precious to me if anything happened to them... I wanted to kill Kazutora, too" Draken-kun said with a sad look on his face. "I know that's wrong, but still I wanna thank you for stopping Mikey. I couldn't have done it myself"

"Draken-kun" I was touched when Draken-kun thanked me, at least he appreciates what I'm doing.

"Okay now leave, I have a date" He said kicking me out of his room. Well, his appreciation was short-lived.

Wait! Draken-kun has a date? What about Emma-chan? Or maybe it's Emma-chan?

"Knock, knock!" I heard someone enter Draken-kun's room.

It was Akaza-chan!

"Akaza-chan!?" I was surprised to see her here.

"Oh, Takemichi-kun, I didn't know you're here, I could come back later," She told us. I'm glad she's doing better, BUT IS SHE DATING DRAKEN-KUN? I thought she had something Mikey-kun?!
