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

Recap

Previously...

"Misaki," she heard Kazutora say softly. She pulled her arm out of his grip before saying, "Only my friends can call me by my first name." and continued to walk after Hanma, leaving a wide-eyed and shaking Kazutora behind her.

Present:

Misaki's P.O.V.

Misaki followed Hanma out a hidden back entrance to the Valhalla hideout into an alleyway. He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, taking a deep drag. 

"I'd offer you one but you already made your point when we first met." He noted whimsically, while leaning against the wall of the abandoned arcade, a puff of smoke escape his smirking lips.

She nodded and crossed her arms. 

"Yeah, accurate. So, what do you want to talk about?" She asked, impatient and wanting to leave to see to both Chifuyu and Takemichi. 

"Jeez, so impatient." said Hanma, averting his eyes to the sky. 

"I actually needed to get you out of view of the other members." He continued, taking another drag of his cigarette. 

Misaki furrowed her brows. "And why is that?" 

He hummed, looking back towards her. "Lets just say I told a certain someone I wouldn't let you get hurt. Besides, I couldn't just let a vice-commander of Toman walk out like they didn't just stride into our base." 

Misaki tilted her head in confusion at this. 

"Don't worry, it makes things more fun for me this way, too. I'm not just doing it for him." He said, muttering the last part. 

"What are you even...you know what, it doesn't matter. If that's it, I'm leaving. We're enemies so I have no reason to be around you. Plus, I already beat your ass once." 

She saw his lip twitch upwards at her response, a smirk beginning to form on his face. 

"Ah, that's true. At least I'll be able to see you in action again soon." He remarked, the smirk on his face growing wider. "I'll definitely be watching." he declared, before dropping his cigarette to the ground and grinding at it with his foot. He then turned to her, hands in his pockets.

"I'd suggest taking the long way home so no one else see's you." He then pointed behind him. "Follow the alley's all the way down until you see a video game store, then take a left. That will get you back to the main roads." 

Misaki slowly nodded, and he began to walk back into the Valhalla headquarters, leaving her alone in the alley. She waited a couple moments to make sure the coast was clear, and then followed the path Hanma mapped out for her. It was definitely the long way around this area, but he was right - she probably shouldn't be seen by any Valhalla members just in case. 

When she reached a road she was familiar with, she started to run in the direction of Takemichi's house. They still hadn't been able to talk about anything new going on, and that was keeping Misaki on her toes. 

It took a bit, but she finally made it to his front door, slightly out of breath. She pulled her phone out of her school blazer pocket, and dialed his number. It rang three times before he answered.

"Misaki! Are you okay?" asked Takemichi. She could hear the stress in his voice and chuckled slightly. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. Were you able to help out Chifu?" 

"Yeah, I actually walked us not too far before contacting an ambulance to come pick him up...He was in rough condition and was knocked out, but they told me it wasn't anything time couldn't fix."
