The "Perfect" Future

Chapter 1 - Found you

THEY FINALLY FOUND HIM, All of them were all joyful about the situation but what they saw was unexpected. Takemichi didn't had his bleached dirty blonde hair like he always did, he had pitch black hair left messily as he was sitting elegantly on a chair.

He was smoking on his left hand while holding a gun at the other. His eyes had a slightly duller color than the one he had back then, he gave them a beaming smile similar to the one he used to give them.

"Great future isn't it?"

The only difference is that this smile had killing intent. He raised his arm and pointed the gun towards them, they're eyes widening in shock.

"Takemichi... What happened to you?"

"This isn't like you takemichi!"

"Stop takemichi, you saved us back then so let us return the favor and save you...!"

Takemichi this, takemichi that...

"STOP! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!! I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITHOUT IT..!"

Takemichi shouted in rage and sadness. He has been through a lot, adding the impact that his 'friends' had been looking for him all these years without rest was just too much for him to handle.

Anyone could clearly see that he was holding back his tears while clenching hardly on the gun in hand.

'No... You can't cry now... It's too late...'

He kept repeating these words in his head like a mantra. As he shut his eyes close, trying to prevent his tears to fall off his eyelids. When he finally managed to collect his thoughts, he laughed bitterly and raised his head to face them.

​Bang.

Everyone in the room stared at takemichi in shock when they saw a lying body on the ground. Kazutora. They stared at his fallen body in horror and immediately called for help.

Blood was dripping down from his body- no, it was pouring. His eyes were slightly dilated as his body was dealing with utter shock, which he soon felt striking pain on his abdomen.

Kazutora winced in pain as his face crumbles into a frown. He raised his hand to cover up his wound and signaled his also shocked team mates for help.

They all scrambled towards him and have him all the help he can get. Some already had left to find a first aid kit while the others had called 911.

Mitsuya applied pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding temporarily. Baji ripped a piece of his jacket and wrapped it around kazutora's body to help stop the bleeding.

All while takemichi was watching this scene unfold. His face broke into a smile, this time his usual sunny smile that can instantly brighten up someones day. Takemichi was glad that they were still the same people he met that fateful day, but he won't give in.

He'll escape their grasped again and get away as far as possible. This was his opening after all, it's all going as planned. Takemichi only gave them hints to pinpoint his location so that he could see them one last time before disappearing completely.

And he ever only shot kazutora to create an opening for his escape. He made sure to plan out everything just in case his first plan fails, he also made sure to miss the vitals and make a safe shot enough for his friend to live. Takemichi stood up and walked as quiet as air and left the scene while they were busy dealing with the problem he created.

What he didn't know was that while he was busy controlling his emotions a while ago, a tracking device was placed on his hair. It was a device in which a person could barely tell apart from the object it came contact with.

Mikey also made sure to make naoto tachibana help in this investigation in which without a matter of seconds he certainly agreed upon. He was currently on the highest floor of an also abandoned building, keeping his eyes peeled for an escaping takemichi.

Naoto was holding a snipper with tranquilizers in them as he crouched down on the dark side of the building. He pointed it towards the only exit possible and waited.

When he finally caught sight of him he immediately duck and hid the best he can. But he surely didn't expect takemichi's eyes to look towards his direction. Slightly dull blue oceanic eyes met with his foggy black one's. As they made eye contact, takemichi gave him a bored look as if he saw through everything they planned.

'This is the highest floor and the darkest part of the building so just how...... takemichi kun, just what in the world happened to you in the past few years..?'

He continues to walk calmly out of the building with his hands in his pockets giving no care about the person above watching his every move.

'He's Gone!'

Naoto was sure he had his eyes peeled and open for him to notice takemichi's every movements but even that was in vain.

Takemichi really had made a well plan for his escape. He also looked like he trained for years to be able to do this to a well known agent who caught and cracked several myseteries, criminals and cases.

He picks up his phone and dials a number,

"Hello..?"

"Nee san, we need your help."

* * * * *

"Haa.... That was quite frustrating.."

Takemichi let out a long sigh after he managed to get away from his 'friends' and ex team mates.

As he noticed that he was soaked in sweat, he decided to take a nice and warm bath before going back to sleep. He stood up from his bed and directly went to his attached bathroom.

He stripped his clothing and went inside the warm shower. As warm water came contact with his skin, takemichi's whole body relaxed and took his time inside the bathroom to collect his thoughts.

When he went out, takemichi was only wearing a robe and nothing under it except undergarments of course. He had a towel on his head supposedly to dry the slightly wet black hair of his. Water could be seen lightly dripping from the corners of his pitch black hair and fatigue was clearly visible on his face.

"Oh, how could I forget?"

As his arm reached out towards his hair, he took out a small tool which can almost be invisible to the human eye. Giggles erupted form his throat as he stared at the tracking device they attached to him.

'How low...' takemichi thought before crushing the device in pieces with his rough hands.

Takemichi lay down on his bed as he lifts his right arm to cover his face from the blinding light. He closed his eyes as he recalled a memory from the past.

The sky was covered in grey cotton like gas indicating rain would soon pour out. Takemichi ran as fast as he can to get out of this madness.

He kept running and running until his feet can't anymore. When takemichi finally stopped, he raised his head to be met with navy blue eyes. He, was staring at takemichi while holding a hand out.

"Take my hand and I'll provide you with everything you need"

A sigh escaped his mouth when he heard a knock on his bedroom door.

"Come in.."

Creak.

As the wooden door swung open, a white haired man went inside closing the door behind him as he slowly approached him.

"Senju... What do you want now?"

Senju could only smile at takemichi and helped himself inside the latter's room. He sat down on his bed beside him as senju's smiling face immediately turned serious in seconds,

"Sir, we have that problem"

As soon as those words went out of the formers mouth, takemichi's eyes widen in shock for a few seconds before going back to it's normal state.

"Alright, prepare the car for me. It looks like we have some business to attend to."

"Right away, sir."
