[Year 2003]

[3RD POV]

In the dark alley, blood were seen everywhere, a man in his teen were seen battered and bruised all over his body. Blood were flowing in his head and arms as his whole being reeked of "stay away from me" and "danger" vibe.

Underneath him laid 20 to 30 people, who were either unconscious or dead. Slowly walking, he stood in front of a battered and bruised man, his face nearly disfigured from all the beatings he received, he looked unrecognizable and he was the only man left awake among the ones who ambushed him.

Like a reaper, he unhurriedly walk to the man with dead eyes. He gripped a fistful of that man hair and emotionlessly ask "Who sends you?".

Fearfully looking at the teenager, the man incoherently said "I-I-I don't know".

"You don't know huh!!" the teenager keep punching the man in the face as blood already spewed in his face.

"W-W-We really do-don't know, w-we only know that-that so-someone wants to pay-pay us a big s-sum of money if we cri-crippled you" the man with already busted lips, nearly unconscious and already in his deathbed replied to the teenager.

The boy give one last punch to the man and get up.

"That m*therfucker, even if you don't say it I know that he is the one that sends these lowlife after my life". He looked at those good-for-nothing people underneath him and spat.

Looking again at these lowlife under his feet, he smiled albeit maniacally as he muttered "Just you wait until I kill all your dogs and spoiled all your scheme, I will personally send you five feet underground and deliver your dog life to hell together with Satan himself".

As he walked, he reach his pants and search for the lighter, opening one pack of cigarette, he light it and puffed a smoke.

He look at the dark sky where there is no moon and stars and start to think.

Isn't it better if we could have just died just then ******. Why is life so full of b*llshit and always f*ck our fate like that. Isn't it better if you didn't leave and let me suffer all this all alone? I loathe this but I can't bring myself to hate you. It's unfair right? but don't worry once I exact my death sentence to them I will join you, so wait for me.

At that, he pick up his phone and make a call, without emotion sensing from him, he said "clean the mess and leave no evidence".

A second later, a voice was heard at the other part of the call, "As you wish, young lord".

Ending the call, he walk aimlessly out of that place still puffing his cigarette.

He doesn't know where and how long is he walking, all he knows is that he is standing at a park, in particular at a swing.

Sitting on it, his mind wander aimlessly, feeling that he is slowly losing consciousness due to fatigue or something, he vaguely heard a rustle.

Staying alert even if consciousness is fading he heard a somehow familiar words.

"Ne, ne, are you dead?" said a boy between 12-13 years old with short stature and a blond hair eating a dorayaki.

Behind him stood a boy with the same age and equally dyed blond hair as the first boy, with a dragon tattoo on his temple and rather tall for his age.

"Mikey, how many times did I say to you to stop approaching shady people, he screamed bad news okay".

"Isn't interesting though, he is covered in blood obviously from a fight but still able to stay awake despite being injured and look at his eye, they held no emotion like saying there is no point in living. Isn't it interesting Ken-chin".

Mikey walk in front of you and said demandingly "You, your interesting, I have decided from now on your my friend".

At that word, a distant memory comes to the teens man. "You, from now on your my friend" "Don't mind what they say, you're interesting okay".

Something inside of him are being awaken, something that was lost for so long is starting to return.

His blood is boiling and his heart is pumping faster, almost overwhelming him.

He look at that person who dared to utter those word, looking at the same dead eyes like him, the only difference is that the boy with blond hair have eyes that shines brightly in the dark, shines with light and endless dream.

Still looking at him, he ask "You, what's your name".

"Me, my name is Sano Manjiro but you can call me Mikey, that's what my friends call me".

"Why do you want me as your friend?" another question were thrown at Mikey.

Mikey doesn't look anywhere but him and answer "You see, just a while a ago, me and my friends decided to form a gang and from that I want to create an era of delinquency like my brother because in this era delinquent are seen as lame right?, that's why someday I'm going to change that misconception and create a wonderful era or delinquency".

"And what's the connection of that being me as your friend?".

"Isn't it obvious, because your strong and I believe in my guts that your a good person. Also, I like you so why don't you follow me, help me create my dream and I'll give you dorayaki" said the blond boy while tilting his head, still staring intently at the older boy while smiling brightly.

As he mentioned that the older boy burst out laughing, holding his face while his is head is bowed down.

Familiar, those words are so f*cking familiar. "I'll give you my toy so why don't you follow me? I'll protect you".

The emotion that was lost for how many years are returning as he suddenly raised his head to look at the younger boys with light in his eyes. Interesting.

Yes, he felt interested but in addition to that he felt something different, he is seeing light, light from the short blond haired kid.

For so many years, aside from him, he is feeling it again, he is feeling alive.

Finally, he found his light again. his reason to live, his salvation, his solace, the person who will receive his whole devotion.

"What's so funny, I am not kidding" said by Mikey sulkily.

"Huh!!! Mikey is serious about his dream" uttered by the other boy with dragon Tattoo on his head rather pissed off because he thinks that the older boy is laughing at Mikey's dream.

"Although you looked older than us I will not hesitate to punch you for laughing at Mikey" Draken said.

As the older boy laugher subsided, he get up from being seated and walk in front of the two boys.

Looking rather excited different from his emotionless expression, he finally said "I have decided, from now on, I, Fujisaki Gin, swear that Sano Manjiro, will be my friend from now on, also to this day and to the future to come, I swear my loyalty to Sano Manjiro".

That was the first time their fate intertwined with each other. That was also the time that Fujisaki Gin met his light.

That faithful day, the once teenage boy who only sought for blood, become something else.

This change will decide their future to come. Either it is a good change or not, only time will tell.
