Our Unparalleled Love Story | Shinichiro S. (Tokyo Revengers)

Chapter 43: Reason

3RD PERSON'S POV

"Kazutora! Get yourself together, we need to call for help!!" The black haired kid—Baji kept pulling his friend, Kazutora on the dark streets. He's still shaken up by what happened but seeing what Y/N did for them to escape the scene made him want to push through it and help her as well. The men didn't even bothered chasing them which only proved that they're after the couple after all.

"I killed him. I killed Mikey's brother." The hooded boy kept murmuring under his breath as he stare blankly at space. Baji immediately turned to him and shooked his shoulders.

"Kazutora! Snap out of it already!" He aggressively and uncontrollably shook his friend in desperation, fearing for the couple's lives back at the shop."Y/N said he's still alive! He groaned earlier when she talked to him! We can still save him! We just need to call for help or else it'll be too late, do you hear me?!"

"Y/N saved us, Kazutora. She is Shinichiro-kun's lover. She should be mad at us for doing that to him. But she saved us." His tears had started to run down his cheeks once again. All negative emotions he's feeling is crashing down on him as he fought it with the little strength left in him, wanting to help. "We need to return the favor. Right now, they're in danger and it's only us they can rely on as of now, do you understand what I'm saying?" He asked his hooded friend only to end up dismayed at his blank expression.

'He can't do this. He's traumatised by what happened.'

He thought to himself and pulled Kazutora to an alley, hiding him behind a can.

"Here. Hide here and make sure no one will see you." He warnedas he tried to make sure Kazutora's all covered up enough to not attract the attention of those with bad intentions. "I'll be back for you once I've called for help, okay?" He needs to move fast if he wants them to survive this battle. There were too many men in the shop and with the current state of the couple, he's afraid nothing good will come out of it. His thoughts were cut off when he heard Kazutora again murmur. Standing up, he looked at his friend one last time before turning around to leave.

"Fight it, Kazutora. We need to be strong and brave."

Back at the shop, Y/N's body lay on the floor unconscious to which Shinichiro watched in pure horror.

"Stop this already, Saito!" His coice broke, pleading to spare the girl of their issue with each other recalling the conversation Saito had with the girl just a few minutes ago.

"I already told you, didn't I Shinichiro?" He replied in a mocking tone. "I told you I won't let you live peacefully, right?" His eyes then landed on the small frame on the ground that still didn't make an effort to get up. He laughed out loud, pointing a finger at her. "Oh look, your dear lover isn't moving. So weak. Is that what you replaced over my sister, Shinichiro?" Seeing Shinichiro being happy with a girl that is definitely not his sister only makes his blood boil as flashbacks of memory repeat on his mind. He felt upset on behalf of her sister who deeply loved the man in front of him which is why he started to hate Y/N for being the person to catch him.

"Y/N?" Shinichiro felt his face paled. Due to his not to best eyesight in the dark, he wasn't able to perceive the girl's breathing causing him to start panicking in fear for her life. And not getting a response from her only made it worse.

"This is your fault, Sano." Saito started, watching the distress on the Sano's face as he continued to watch the girl, hoping she'll show a sign of getting up. "If only you didn't choose her over Himari." There it was again. Himari. The name that Shinishiro knew that could trigger Saito. His little sister's name who had already passed away a year ago. "Ah wait scratch that. If only you didn't make my sister fall for you then everything wouldn't have ended up like this." He covered his face.

"I never did that. I never once gave your sister hope! I never gave her a sign to fall for me! I was simply trying to help her!"

Years ago, Shinichiro met a girl named Himari by coincidence who happened to have an unstable mental condition. She was a sweet girl and a pretty energetic at that. Just like how the young Y/N was so it wasn't hard for him to get comfortable with her fast. But unfortunately, Shinichiro's act of help and caring made her think otherwise. It then led to an unhealthy obsession only making it hard for him to reach a hand to her any longer. That is until he decided to confront her about it. It was difficult for him to convince the girl and ended up with her being mad at him for rejecting.

"But she did either way! And it's your fault because you rejected her!!" Saito cried out with anger laced in his voice as he blame everything on the dark haired guy. "If you hadn't rejected her, she would've still be alive by now."

By the time, Shinichiro tried to reach out to Himari to at least ask for forgiveness, it was too late. Because on the day, he visited her, she was already taken to the purgatory for taking her own life away. When Saito found out about this, his admiration for the boy soon turned into a burning rage.

"And I assume it's because of this girl that you did that, right?" Saito pointed at Y/N who still gave no sign of waking up. "She was your lover back then too, right?" This made Shinichiro's eyes widen. Somehow, Saito managed to dig into their past without even bothering to talk to them about it.

When Saito noticed his reaction, he chuckled.

"So I was right." His smile soon dropped and he plastered on a blank look on his face. "It's because of her all along." He turned to glare at the girl on the ground. "She's the main reason why my sister's dead."

Shinichiro had no idea where he's getting all this ideas to blame Y/N for Himari's death. He's basically just putting the blame on someone who's innocent and probably doesn't even know about the incident.

"Mmm ugh..." All heads snapped towardsthe girl's direction who stirred on her back and groaned in pain, feeling a sticky liquid on her lips. The Sano immediately felt relieved wash over him as he watch her sit up slowly with her hand on the side of her head.

"Y/N—" Before he could ran up to her, the cocking of gun was heard and all he could see now was Saito pointing the gun directly at Y/N who's still half awake with the whole situation going on.

"Don't you dare go to her, Shinichiro or I'll shoot." He spat coldly and Shinichiro glared at him.

"Leave her out of this, Saito. She has no fault. I'll do anything you want, just leave her out of this." It was a bad idea to say those words but he felt desperate to remove the aim at his lover. He wanted it away from her in an instant.

Saito remained silent at this and lowered his gun as he turned to Shin.

"Well then, why don't you go and be with my sister?" He pointed the gun immediately to Shinichiro's head and his eyes widened automatically. He was frozen in place seeing as the tip was directly aimed at him.

"NO!!" Was what everyone heard before a loud bang of a gun echoed across the four walls of the room.
