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

Open Fire: Part II

Recap: 

A hand landed on her shoulder, seemingly shaking her. She turned, momentarily brought out of her stupor, to see a pair of worried lilac eyes.

"Are you okay? Did something happen?" Mitsuya quickly asked, scanning her for any injuries. She figured he thought she had a head wound of some kind, which is why she wasn't responding.

All she could manage out though, was one thing:

"Shinichiro..."

Misaki's P.O.V.

Mitsuya continued to stare at her with a look of concern on his face before softly saying,

"Listen, I...I need you to snap out of it Misa. Can you do that? We need you right now...Mikey needs you."

She heard what he said, but didn't respond, as the clanking of metal against Manjiro's skull garnered most of her attention.

Mitsuya must have noticed, because he then grabbed onto one of her hands, clasping it tightly. 

"Misa." 

She was quiet for a moment longer before she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, attempting to center herself.

10, 9, 8,

That isn't Shinichiro. That's Manjiro. 

7,6,5,

That isn't Shinichiro. That's Manjiro. 

4,3,2,

That isn't Shinichiro. That's Manjiro. 

Snap out of it.

Misaki exhaled through her nose and squeezed Mitsuya's hand in hers before opening her eyes. She sent him a small smile in thanks and dipped her head. 

"Thank you, Mitsu. I'm...I'm okay now." 

He nodded and gave her one more once over, before begrudgingly letting go of her hand.

"I haven't...I haven't had an episode in so long..." She muttered, mostly to herself, before shaking her head. 

Worry about that later. You have to remember the plan, otherwise...

Misaki looked around, trying to find Baji. As was the same earlier, she couldn't make him out from the crowd.

There's just too many people...maybe if I get to a spot with an aerial view...

She was cut from her thoughts when a loud BANG was heard, and she quickly directed her eyes back towards Manjiro's figure. As she looked up, her eyes widened to see that he had completely gotten out of the hold of the two Valhalla captains, kicking them harshly to the side, before then striking a devastating blow to Kazutora's head. He fell to the ground, obviously knocked out. Misaki gulped and closed her gaping mouth before she clenched her fists, shook her head and ran towards the piled up junk cars. As she began to run towards him, she noticed Manjiro's figure shake, before he fell to his knees.

Shit! Should have known that not even he could take blows like that...did he pass out standing up?!

As she ran, she heard many mumblings and comments from the Valhalla members around her.

"Think he's tired from losing so much blood?"

"Did Mikey just take a knee?!" 

"Isn't this the perfect time to take him out?"
