[Drowned sounds, except for one]

It was the day of the fight and it was only hours away. Takemichi was currently inside the hospital room where his lovers were at.

"You know, you guys would be surprised that I was able to handle Toman... It was pretty hard though, most of the time I leave it some of it to Koko or Inupi, they do everything they can to help me." Takemichi started talking.

"But as I thought, it is different without you all there... All I've ever done these days is cry and pout, damn this tear ducts of mine, such a pain in the ass... You guys should wake up soon, I already put the bombed room to renovation, it would be bigger so we can now all sleep in one room... That is if I manage to stop Hanma from orchestrating more accidents..." He said solemnly.

"I wish you guys could be here, I feel like a kid looking for your praises but it's better than hearing your monitors beeping. The doctor said some of you would be waking up so what are you doing still sleeping? Lazy asses, I won't always be here you know." Takemichi joked but started tearing up anyway.

"I'll come back victorious, so in exchange, be awake, okay? I'll be waiting..." Takemichi finalized before standing up and leaving the room and the hospital.

Once he got outside, he saw Inupi and Koko standing outside waiting for him.

"You ready to go boss?" the black-haired man, Koko, asked.

"Yea, I just told them." Takemichi smiled and Inui went behind him to put on a coat.

"Let's go boss." Inui said to takemichi who nodded and held the coat on his back.

"It's payback time" Takemichi said in a bitter tone as he smirked.

"Inupi, where's the fight going to happen?" Takemichi asked Inui as he went to the training room where the members and the others are training.

"They said it would happen in Yokohama Bay, you know, where the fight with Tenjiku happened." Inupi informed as he walked behind.

"Yokohama huh... That brings back memories, I don't know how that fight looked like to you guys but that brings me back, guess Hanma wanted me or maybe Mikey to die there like Kisaki did. Not a surprise, that man has been obsessed with him and since he got his memories back, he started to target me." Takemichi said as he looked at the members training.

Before Inui could reply back someone called out to Takemichi.

"Takemichi!" yelled a certain girl, Senju.

"Senju-chan, how are you? Is everyone doing okay?" Takemichi asked.

"They're training good enough, but Takeomi and the others are worried about you, even me. You'll be okay right?" Senju asked, concerned.

"Yea, I think I'll be fine. Don't worry about me, I was a punching bag back in my middle school days." Takemichi gave Senju a smile.

"Not for later Takemichi, your mental health I mean." Senju said tentatively.

Takemichi paused for a moment before giving Senju a closed-eyed smile.

"I'm doing fine Senju-chan, I went through worse." Takemichi said before walking ahead.

"That doesn't exactly comfort me either because any person in this situation would've broken down already." Senju whispered to no one in particular.
