MY PRETTY || Tokyo Revengers

- 29 -

When you arrived back home at the apartment, you exchanged no words with your brothers, simply heading straight to the kitchen and begin cooking dinner.

The silence was loud, much too loud for your liking and you wanted so badly to break it. You didn't like being on awkward terms with your brothers, it was too uncomfortable.

While you busied yourself in the kitchen in an attempt to ignore the atmosphere, you heard the sound of footsteps approaching and immediately felt Ran's presence behind you.

His arm slithered over your shoulders as he watched you cook. "Need some help?"

And just like that, the air between you and Ran was cleared. You looked up at him, giving him a smile before shaking your head. "I'm good."

"Alright. If you need anything, tell me okay?" He muttered, planting a gentle kiss on your head, messing up your hair a little before heading back to the living room.

You smiled to yourself, happy that the air was cleared quickly. And you knew the moment you were fine with Ran, the same would be for Rindo. You and your brothers rarely ever fought, and it was always dispelled just as quickly as it started.

"Whatcha makin'?" Rindo appeared, walking into the kitchen in nothing but grey sweats and his bare feet, munching on an open bag of chips.

You glanced over at him briefly. "Onigiri, can you try this filling?"

He walked over, standing next to you as you turned to face him, holding a spoon with a bit of filling. He leaned down slightly and you carefully lifted it to his lips, free hand hovering underneath just in case he dropped some as he took it in his mouth.

He chewed a little bit before nodding, humming slightly as he gave you a thumbs up. "S'good."

"Wear something would ya? You're always flaunting that damn half body tattoo you and Ran have."

"My side looks better!" He called back as he exited the kitchen, ignoring your request.

You smiled, shaking your head. Of course he'd proclaim his side was better, despite the fact that you were pretty sure they were symmetrical. That was just how he was.

The two of them had gotten that tattoo a couple of years ago, they had asked you if you wanted to match with them but you declined.

Instead you had a miniature version of their large tattoo planted at the center of your upper back, extending to your shoulders as a bit of pattern peaked over.

Just as you finished making all the onigiri, your phone went off in your pocket. Wiping your hands, you picked it up and moved it to your ear, not bothering to check the contact. "Hello?"

"Y/N."

"..."

You hung up the phone, tossing it back on the counter. "Nope, nope! Not today Satan!"

The second you recognized Inui's voice you knew you made a mistake. And because you so carelessly hung up, he definitely knows that you have Kokonoi.

Lucky for you, he didn't know that you were friends with Mikey, Emma, and Mitsuya, so he wouldn't snitch.

You obviously weren't as close to Mikey as you were to the other two, but he would join you and Emma to hangout from time to time. You wouldn't deny the fact that he was fun to be around, his charisma was no joke either.

You were a bit sad though, knowing that this showdown would probably be the end of your friendship with all of them, possibly even Inui. But what could you do? You were too loyal to Izana, you'd never leave the gang or turn your back on him.

And if there was something anybody needed to know about you, it was the fact that to you, family is everything.

"Y/N, hurry up!"

How ironic, this time Izana was the one ushering you to hurry up instead of the other way around. Ran and Rindo had already gone ahead to lead the crew, leaving you with Izana and Kakucho.

You had one of your Roppongi men take Baji to the standby point near the port in Kanto since you had a little something to do with Izana first, and that was to drop him off at the cemetery to visit Shinichiro.

It was finally the day of the showdown, and it was already afternoon. Izana had asked you if you wanted to drop him off before heading to the standby point, of course you agreed, wanting to spend some more time with him.

You noticed Mucho was still around as well, and it seems he wasn't alone. There was another boy who was with him, much shorter with long straight white hair.

But they weren't conversing, simply observing your and Izana's interaction from afar. The white haired boy had his arms behind his back, standing at attention behind Mucho.

All of you were wearing the Tenjiku uniform today, except like your brothers, yours was black in color. However, you wore it differently from them, not bothering to use the belt and leaving the top open, exposing your tightly bandaged torso.

"Izana, who's that?" You asked, secretly gesturing to the white haired boy.

Izana looked over at him briefly before turning back to you. "Mucho's vice captain in Toman, Sanzu Haruchiyo."

You hummed before grabbing his arm and pulling him over to both of your bikes that stood next to one another. Kakucho followed quietly, the two of you exchanging hidden glances.

A sudden thought hit you as Kakucho gave you a look. "Where are Kisaki and Hanma?"

Izana merely shrugged in reply, hopping on his bike as you and Kakucho did the same. "They'll follow up at the rendezvous point, said they had something to do first."

Your brows pulled together slightly as you revved your engine, glancing at Kakucho who wore the same expression you did, eyes locking with yours.

It was clear that both of you were concerned by the fact that you wouldn't be able to monitor them until they make their appearance. And with how skeptical the both of you are, it's no doubt you're worried at what they could possibly do during that time.

Izana went off first, leading the group as Kakucho followed beside you, with Mucho and Sanzu tagging along right after.

And for some strange reason, you began to feel a sudden sense of dread creep up behind you.
