The dead left the Queen

Mourning

"Ugk!" Takemichi lurched forward as soon as Y/n's fist came in contact with his gut. He could feel his saliva threaten to spill from the pain. "That hurts!"

"Ha, Geez. Are you durable or somethin'?" Y/n asked the boy, lifting his chin with her finger, scanning his beaten up face before turning back. "Is he always a creep, Mikey?" She asks, wiping her hands with a wipes she took out from her bag.

Mikey glanced at his friends before shrugging his shoulders. "Maybe? I'm not really into someone's personal lives" he replied to her.

"Keep your little friend at bay, Draken, Mikey"she warns, giving a stare to the two boys. "Or else he won't suffer just than a few punches and kicks, I don't want a little cockroach roaming around me, you know that"

Draken and Mikey nodded while Takemichi was freed and held his stomach, despite the pain almost not felt, he almost thought that she touched his innards. "She punches harder than Masataka or even Mikey!"

Y/n sighed, removing her attention from Takemichi and to Mikey, "So, what did you want to tell me? Hurry up or I'll leave" she says.

"No! I-I still need to stop her from going to college!" Takemichi thought.

Y/n L/n, on August 2, 2005 died just a day before Draken was killed in the park. Y/n, who acted as a big sister to Mikey and Draken who acted as Mikey's closest friend were killed on two days just by the other. It was said that Mikey thrashed his house in anger of breaking vow to his older brother. He had swore to protect Y/n and thought that it's be more safer to be in another town than where he was at... oh how wrong Mikey was.

The girl surprising got a letter to come see the campus she had been accepted at and in desperation, she agreed and left first thing in the morning. But once she walked off the bus she was riding, she didn't know a couple rival gang members in that city waited for her and beat her up on spot. When they recovered her body in a ditch, Mikey flew in a rage, swearing that he'd kill anyone who ever dared to touch one of his remaining members.

"Stop taking the tests"

Takemichi's eyes widen in surprise, Naoto was sure that Mikey was the one who urged her to leave the town and go to a safer city.

"What? Mikey stops her? But what changed his mind?" He thought, confused as ever.

Y/n's eyes glared at Mikey, he knew how much the college application meant to her. She knew that she had been hurting inside and just wanted to keep face after she left the Black dragons, seeing as her lover, their leader was dead. "Don't say that Mikey, you know how much this means to me" she tells him.

Mikey clenched his fists. "I know that-

"Yet you told me to stop taking the tests? This is ridiculous" she scoffed and grabbed her bag and slip it onto her shoulder. "Goodbye Mikey, talk to me when... you have other things to say to me"

"Y/n, I know that you're desperate to leave but there is no good outcome if you keep running away!-

"I AM NOT RUNNING AWAY, MIKEY!" Y/n yelled at him, her back still facing him. "This bullshit town, the people, my friends, my family all remind me of that bastard!"

"But you have to-

Y/n turned her body to Mikey and stomped to him before grabbing his collar and holding him up.

Draken frowned. "Mikey!, Y/n stop this!"

Her e/c colored eyes stared right through Mikey's black orbs.

"Mikey, everytime I see Baji, I want to kill him. I want to punch him, kick and even stomp on his grave. No words can describe how I long for Shinichiro, oh and Kazutora? I swear, Mikey. I'd kill that brat for killing Shinichiro" Y/n growled angrily, her knuckles turned white from her tight grip.

"Everyone's mourning, I know" Y/n laughed, letting Mikey off. "Our pain differs from person to person and I know in my heart that you out of all of us is suffering more than I can imagine but-" she pushes him away. "Don't turn that mourning and suffering of yours into something I can't handle... don't be like me, Mikey. Selflessness and selfishness is never a good mix, choose one"

"Draken?"

"Hm"

"Take care of Mikey for me, just call me when y'all need me to calm this little shit" she hissed and left the park.

Draken nods despite unable to be seen by the girl.

Takemichi stood up, gulping. He didn't know Mikey took special lengths to take care of Y/n, to the point that he talked to her when he rarely did for anyone. Quite a stubborn boy. "Do I need to keep pushing him to stop Y/n? Or... I don't know, out of all the times I went back and forth in the timeline, this is the first time I encountered Y/n or even heard of her" he sighs but quickly held it when a loud bang was heard.

Takemichi looked at Mikey who had just kicked the trash can, denting it inside. His hand inside his pockets yet clenched tightly, it seemed that he's angry.

Mikey sighed, lowering his head and ran his hand through his hair. "Dammit" he whispered. "Ken-chin"

"What?"

"Let's just head home, you go with Takemitchy... I'll go home alone this time"

Draken sighs, shaking his head yet agrees. "Sure, let's go, Takemitchy"

"U-uh, yeah" Tekemichi glanced at Mikey as the two of them walked out the park, seeing Mikey's emotionless face sigh made him feel some uncomfortable feeling in his gut. "Careful Mikey-kun" he whispered before following Draken.

Mikey looked up to the moon, remembering the memories where his brother would smile and act all uncool whenever Y/n was with him and slumped down the slide. "Brother..."
