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

Recollections

Misaki's P.O.V.

"So, if I'm understanding you correctly, when we were hit by the train, we came back twelve years into the past?" Misaki vocalized, while chewing on her thumb unknowingly. 

"Uh-huh." 

"And I'm only here because when I tried to save you, I happened to be touching you when you leapt backwards in time, which also lead to me being pulled through?"

"Uh..yeah." 

"And you're able to go back and forth between the periods of time by shaking your girlfriends younger brothers hand?" 

"Yeah, that's right."

There was a pregnant pause that sat between them for a moment as Misaki processed everything and collected her thoughts one last time. 

Something has seemed off this whole time, so honestly, it could be worse. At least I wasn't sucked into a horror video games or something...

She shivered at that before composing herself and turning to Takemichi. 

"Alright, sounds reasonable." She stated, nodding her head.

"Uh..what?" Takemichi responded, a questioning look on his face.

"I started to deduce that I wasn't dead. It just seemed too real, you know? I figured something time related happened, but this makes much more sense than what I was originally thinking." 

"Oh...okay. Well, I guess this conversation is going better than we expected so far? Ha-ha...." Takemichi awkwardly laughed. 

Misaki raised an eyebrow at his wording. "So far? Meaning there is more you need to tell me?" 

He chuckled nervously. "Yeah. Basically, the reason I've been allowed to travel back and forward between time is to save the future...of someone important to me." 

"What do you mean?" 

"Well, Hinata...twelve years from now, she's killed. It's gang related..." Takemichi sighed, before staring Misaki in the eyes. "It's Toman. They are the reason she's killed."

Misaki's eyes widened. It was hard to hear that Toman becomes so violent that they kill women in the future...although she wouldn't have even known considering she moved away from everyone at such a young age, originally.

"They're more violent. Involved in drugs, cartels, sex trafficking, murder, you name it. Naoto was telling me Mikey is still acting commander but no one had seen him in years. So, there is someone else pulling the strings." Takemichi paused and Misaki motioned for him to continue, wanting to know who the culprit was.

"The person running Toman twelve years from now...is Kisaki Tetta." He continued, dropping eye contact from Misaki, likely due to nerves. 

He rubbed at the back of his neck, seemingly uncomfortable. 

"I'm not sure how close you guys are. I know from Naoto and from what I remember, you had known Mikey for quite some time in your youth. But with Kisaki, we weren't sure to what extent your relationship was with him." 

Misaki was quiet for a moment, and cast her eyes downwards. A shadow covered her face as she felt her heart rate quicken against her will. 

"...I've known Mikey since I was in grade school. We've been...or we were rather close until I moved away when I was sixteen. That's probably why I wasn't aware of what was going on in our original timeline."

Takemichi nodded. "Why did you move?" He asked, curious. 

Misaki sighed, and sat on the grass underneath them, fiddling with the blades. "There was some internal conflict going on with Toman. At least, that's what I knew then..." She started.
