"𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒? 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐔?" rua said.
"of course baby, you know I will," haru replied.
"but baby," haru called, "it's time to wake up" he gently shook her to wake her from her slumber but when ishikawa rua woke up, she was greeted with the sight of her ceiling.
she had dreamt of her with sanzu haruchiyo again.
ishikawa rua had been with sanzu haruchiyo at the ripe age of 8. however, they didn't start dating until they were 12. when they met, it was love at first sight for rua. because rua was best friends with mikey (and she knew mikey was the leader of toman) she kept begging mikey to introduce her to him but much to rua's chagrin, he wouldn't until rua bought him dorayaki.
ever since then, rua has been in love with haru. his blond hair and blue eyes made rua swoon whenever she saw him. his scars also made rua fangirl over how hot he looked. he was the sole reason rua would accompany mikey during toman meetings.
but now, everything changed.
his beautiful blond hair was dyed pink and those once innocent blue eyes were filled with malice and animosity. the scars on his face where rua used to kiss had become scars of her past.
the two broke up after the battle of the three deities. rua couldn't believe how much he changed, and she had underestimated his loyalty to mikey. that day, rua asked him if he would choose to leave that life behind and start a new one with rua, but haru refused with anger. after a few disputes, the two called it quits. rua couldn't believe that haru would pick mikey over her and their 6-year relationship. they were only 18.
that night, rua cried until she couldn't open her eyes. to rua, their 6-year relationship ended so easily, as if it never mattered to him. she felt that there was no hesitation in haru's choice of breaking up. their bond was broken by his loyalty to mikey. rua wanted to resent mikey but she couldn't. he was her best friend and the person who understood her the most after haru. rua felt that it wasn't right for her to resent someone who had no control over the situation.
but to rua's surprise, mikey had changed as well. he was no longer the happy-go-lucky kid. his once bright black eyes were now dull. there was no emotion behind the smiles that he gave her. this made rua wonder what went wrong? why did they change?
after the battle of the three deities, takemichi had explained everything to rua. he felt that since she was mikey's best friend and sanzu's (ex)girlfriend, she deserved to know. after hearing the whole story, she wanted to go find haru and talk it out but there was no trace of him anywhere. and neither were there traces of mikey. it was as if they both disappeared after the battle of the three deities.
.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆.
now, in the year 2018, rua is a surgeon. after the disappearance of her best friend and ex-boyfriend, she decided to get her life together. despite being left in the dust, she had the other ex-toman members to count on and for that, she was grateful.
as rua grew, she gradually began to forget about sanzu and mikey but that all changed one day.
"oh my, look at the news!" someone said. rua turned to look at the TV in the hallway. she had just finished her rounds and was going to get a drink of water.
the news reporter was reporting a series of murders that occurred at a warehouse. three men were shot on their knees; execution style. the police can't find a trace of the murderers but they have a gut feeling that it was done by the criminal organization, BONTEN.
a familiar image of hanafuda earrings etched on someone's arm appeared on the screen.
'those are...' rua thought.
the reporter continued his talk about BONTEN. he revealed that all members of BONTEN have this tattoo somewhere on their body. rua knew that the tattoo was derived from izana kurokawa's earrings. in other words, mikey's late brother.
as rua continued watching the news, she couldn't help but connect the dots. after mikey and sanzu's disappearance, images of her past began to appear.
'it's just too much of a coincidence' rua thought. 'could mikey be the leader of BONTEN? but there were so many members of tenjiku who were close to izana, it can't be just him.'
as rua was lost in her thoughts, she didn't see her coworker, akio, walk up to her. he gently shook her shoulder to get her attention, "you okay ru?"
clearing her head, rua nodded with a smile. "yeah, I'm good. thanks for asking aki"
"well good to have you back because we have surgery in 10 minutes!" akio said enthusiastically. rua could only chuckle at his enthusiasm.
"alright aki, I know. I got to go get a sip of water before the surgery so I'll meet you soon okay?"
akio nodded and waved her goodbye. rua began walking towards the water dispenser to get a cup of water. she couldn't help but feel a bit sick to the stomach after watching the news. if the leader is really mikey and haru is somehow involved, rua wouldn't know what to do. she hopes that her predictions are wrong, she doesn't want her two precious people to be caught up in that mess. but that nasty feeling didn't go away as rua finished her drink. however, at that very moment, rua wondered why she wasn't paged for that upcoming surgery.
with heavy steps, rua began walking over to the OR. little did she know, her fate was about to change after that one surgery.
