New Era

||18||

That night Inui fell asleep on Takemichi's arms. Takemichi doesn't have the heart to wake him up so he attempts to try and carry Inui to his room since he doesn't know which room Inui picked. He puts Inui's arm on his shoulder 'alright let's get you to bed' 

Takemichi took a first step and stumbled a bit he knew he couldn't carry Inui up to his room "Need help there?" Takemichi flinched at the sudden voice he looked at the person who crept up on him almost causing him to drop Inui

"What do you want!?" Takemichi yelled but not to loud to wake anyone  "nothing, I was just getting a drink overheard some of your conversation. So do you need help with him? Just put him on the couch get a pillow and blanket" 

"Smart, but won't that be quite rude?" 

"Nahhh it'll be fine" 

Takemichi gave up and sighed "help me here, please" 

Izana helped Takemichi get Inui to the couch, Takemichi went up to get a pillow and a blanket when he gets back down he tucks Inui in "there" 

"Izana-kun.....are you ok?" Takemichi sat down beside him on the floor "just thinking....I'm fine"   Takemichi leans on Izana's shoulder "you can talk to me you know? I'm a great listener" Izana scoffs "I already told you I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about"

Takemichi sighed "random question what's your biggest regret?" 

"I have no regrets. I make mistakes and learn from them that's what people usually do" Izana answered "what's about you? What's your regret" 

"There's quite a lot actually" Izana have a blanket beside him he unfolds the blanket and put one side to Takmeichi's shoulder and the other on his "the night is still young we have time" 

Takemichi took a deep breath before continuing "First is: that I should've looked for Kazu-nii when I was still at high school if I did maybe Baiji-san wouldn't have died. Maybe if I did talk to Kazutora, Kisaki wouldn't have a chance to manipulate him, Tora, doesn't really understand emotions....that's why he hides it with a smile....." 

"Looks like faking a smile is in your family blood huh?" Takemichi chuckled "hm I guess so.....my second regret is not being able to save the people I care about.....I almost lost Kazutora you know, I almost lost him.....during the Valhalla vs Toman, Mikey was beating up Tora.....I was this close to losing my brother I couldn't move.....luckily I was able to stop Mikey" 

Takemichi stopped talking and looked up to Izana "Im going to tell you something you might not believe, but please believe me I'm not lying about this....." Izana breaks out of character and puts his hand on Takemichi's cheek and cresses it "I'll believe you trust me"

Izana sat there in silence letting Takemichi his story. Takemichi started at the very beginning, if he was about to tell him his story, he's going to start at his very first time leap and explained how his incredible yet cursed time-travel powers work 

He told him about what happened in Tokyo Manji Gang, about Kisaki's plans, Mikey's dark impulses, about all the different future Mikeys, the burden he have, and promised he made

It's been 5 minutes since Takemichi finished telling his story and none of them said anything Takemichi was about to stand up and leave but before he could Izana spoke
