I Need A Miracle 2

Part 2

When the time comes, Baji goes to pick Kiseki up from school. He pulls into the school parking lot on his bike, turns it off and begins walking into the colorful building with Kiseki's little helmet in his hands. He walks in to see a bunch of small kids running around the playroom with toys and making a ton of noise. This is nothing new to him anymore considering he picks Kiseki up most days. He comes to a stop next to the caretaker, Ms. Takahashi, or as the children call her, Hashi- san. " Afternoon Miss." he greets her.

Hashi- san takes a sharp inhale and puts her hand over her chest as she whirls her head around to see Baji "O-oh, Baji- san!" she catches her breath, " You startled me."

"Haha, sorry 'bout that..." He rubs the back of his head, "So... where's my little tiger?" he said the last bit loudly so that Kiseki would definitely hear him.

"PAPA!!" Kiseki shouts and runs up to Baji who picks him up and gives him a hug. He tussles Kiseki's black hair and sets him down.

"Ready to go kiddo? Wiggles is waiting for ya back at the shop." Baji points his thumb toward the door.

Kiseki gasps, "Wiggles?!" Baji hums and nods his head. Kiseki hurriedly ran over to his friends a girl with two buns on her head, and a boy with a bowl cut. He told the both of them bye, and hurried to find his shoes and jacket. While he was doing that, Hashi- san had a conversation with Baji.

"You're doing so well for such a young father." She comments and puts her hand on his shoulder. While she is young, she's still much older than him in her 30s. Baji blushes at the praise from the older woman,

"Ah, thank you Ma'am, I'm really just doing what I should, he's my kid after all, heh." he chuckles embarrassedly

"Don't call me Ma'am! You make me sound old!" Hashi- san huffed and slapped him hard on the back. Making Baji stand up straight.

"Papa!" Kiseki ran up to baji with his book bag on his back.

"Ready?" Baji asks him.

Kiseki nods and Baji responds by placing the helmet he brought on his head and strapping him in.

"Have a good day Takahashi- san see you same time tomorrow!" He waved to the teacher and took Kiseki's hand, walking out of the school. As he helps Kiseki onto the bike he notices again, another lackey of Kisaki Tetta. "Tsk, those damn bastards, get a life!" Baji mumbles.

"Bastard?" Kiseki repeated.

Bajis eyes flew wide with surprise "No no no no no don't repeat what Papa says okay, that's very bad. A very bad word. We'll both get in trouble if Mama hears you say that okay?" Baji scolded him. Kiseki made a face that made it clear he didn't understand but he nodded his head anyway.

"Okay Papa." Kiseki smiled at him.

Baji sighed a sigh of relief and hops on the back of the bike. "Lets go eh?" Kiseki humed and they took off down the street with a loud rumble.

_______________________________________________________________________

Midnight has past, Baji didn't even have the chance to embrace Y/n or anything after she got home. She was too exhausted from her classes and from her part time job to do anything even remotely romantic. She went straight to bed after giving him a kiss good night and trusting that he will get Kiseki into bed on time. Baji kissed her cheek and brushed her hair behind her ear. "I won't be long." he murmured into her ear. Then he went into Kiseki's bedroom and saw him, who was fast asleep, wearing his tiger onesie. Kiseki was practically half way off the bed and snoring loudly. Baji chuckled and placed him properly in his bed, tucked him in and kissed his forehead.

Once he was finished he stepped out of the room, closed the door and left the apartment. The sound of his engine can be heard loud and clear throughout the busy night streets, full of night shift workers getting to or from work. He parked his bike just shy of a tunnel where they agreed to meet and shut it off. The tunnel was covered wall to wall in graffiti and skid marks from skaters. Baji paused as he entered the tunnel and there he saw Kazutora, Chifuyu, and Takemichi. Chifuyu and Takemichi have both dyed their hair back to black over the years, growing out of their blonde era. Baji stood before them, released a sigh and said, "There's something I've been hiding from you all... and I think now's the right time to say it." Nobody talked, they stared at him waiting for him to finish. "5 years ago, right after Kiseki was born..." Baji stopped to collect his thoughts. "Kisaki paid me a little visit."

Gasps were heard collectively from the group, "Kisaki..." Takemichi said his name with malice, Chifuyu gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. Neither of them have reasons to like Kisaki. Kazutora was also wary, he learned to be after he found out about Kisaki's involvement in Bloody Halloween.

"What did he say?" Kazutora asked

Baji leaned his body up against the wall of the tunnel and pinched the bridge of his nose, "He told me to watch my back... said I wouldn't want anything to happen to Kiseki and Y/n..."

"WH-WHAT?!?!" Takemichi shrieks.

"That bastard, how dare he! What would he have to gain by hurting a 5 year old kid?" Chifuyu said in an outrage.

Kazutoras eyes were wide now, nearly identical to the way they looked back then. "We can't let him lay a hand on them!" Kazutora had grown overly protective of Kiseki and Y/n over the years. Y/n was the one who opened up his eyes to Bajis kindness back in the hospital, he couldn't let anything happen to her.

"That's the damn problem! That shit stand has his lackeys all over me lately. I see em when I leave the house, I see em when I'm picking Kiseki up, I see em watching me even when we meet up with the gang and it's pissing me the hell off!!! He's planning something, and whatever it is, It's gonna happen soon." Baji finished his monologue with a crazed expression. His eyebrows furrowed and a deep frown on his face. He looked at the group for reactions. Takemichi seemed to be deep in thought about something. Chifuyu glanced at him weird but said nothing.

"Baji- san, what do you think we should do?" Chifuyu asked what everyone was thinking.

"We keep watch obviously, I'll handle things at home, Chifuyu, I need you to watch over Y/n to and from work. And Kazutora, you'll watch Kiseki, you can pick him up too if you're free." Baji dishes out everyone's roles and they both nod their heads to show the understood.

"So... what will I do?" Takemichi asked whilst fiddling with his fingers, finally out of his trance.

"You'll help me figure out how to deal with him." Baji says menacingly.

"Wh-what?!"
