the day has arrived. the three gangs are gathered in the same area, you're zoning out in the back of the kantou manji gang. mikey wanted you to stand up front with him and kazutora, but you refused, deciding to lay low for the time being. from your spot in the back, you can hear the members murmuring.
"did you hear..."
"draken is dead..."
"rokuhara tandai's fault..."
you crack your closed eyes open, drakens dead? interesting. you look over the sea of boys, your eyes landing on the rokuhara tandai gang. south stands in front, the brothers, kakucho, izana and some others behind him.
"long time no see y/n." a voice comes from behind you, catching your attention. while you turn around, a tall figure walks up to you, a mask covering half of his face while a hood is pulled over his head.
"didn't expect to see you here, hanma." you can tell it's him with a single glance at his hands, his tattoos still there, as they always are, "why are you here?"
"i wanted to see you..." he mutters, holding his arms out, but you back away.
"i am not my brother, fyi." you remind him, but he just chuckles, forcing his arms around your torso so he is hugging you. groaning, you give a weak attempt to push him off, but he doesn't budge.
"y/n. what the hell are you doing?" kazutora walks up to the two of you, grabbing your wrist and yanking you from hanma's grasp and into his own.
"he forced me to hug him, appearing out of nowhere 'n shit." you inform, giving hanma a smug grin while hiding your body behind kazutora. hanma pouts, you can tell by how his posture slackens even more than it already is.
"kazu, can i join your gang?" he suddenly questions.
"why?"
"i want to be with y/n."
"hell no." kazutoras answer is immediate, barely audible over the shouting as the battle begins. more people walk up to you.
"what is happening here?" the three of you face a blank faced mikey and confused kokonoi. both have completely disregarded the fight, mainly leaving it to sanzu and baji. hanma takes this distraction as a chance to pull you away from kazutora.
"let me join your gang, manjiro." hanma demands, hugging you close to him while you fight to get out of his hug. you elbow him in the stomach before smirking and aiming lower, you spin around and bring your knee up to his groin. doubling over in pain, you jump back to the group of boys.
"fine." mikey answers, making the three of you turn to him in confusion.
"what?!" kokonoi and kazutora exclaim in unison.
"what? he's strong, i guess." mikey defends. hanma recovers from your attack and does a silent cheer, his hands shaking with excitement. you can see this, and you internally pray he doesn't tell them about that one time.
thankfully, hanma just stands by you as kazutora gives him one more glare, before joining in on the fight.
"why don't you fight, koko?" you question, arms crossed over your chest as you glue your eyes to the fight. things are getting interesting.
"i don't like getting physical." he states simply, standing on mikey's left side while you're standing on his left side, hanma on your own left side. when you turn back, you can see brahman's leader facing off with south.
"wait, is that a girl?" you question, and mikey nods. your eyes shine brightly as you grin widely, you love strong girls like her. resisting the urge to cheer outwardly, you cross your fingers and silently cheer her on.
as you watch the fight, you realize that four boys in particular are missing from the fight.
"well, well, already replaced us, have you? what happened to never betraying me? betraying us?" suddenly appearing in front of you, izana stands with the other three behind him. the haitani's are staring at you with an intense glare, while kakucho looks at his feet, avoiding your eyes completely, or avoiding looking at you fully.
you feel a pang of guilt in your heart, but only for kakucho, and maybe izana, they treated you nice. whereas the haitani's... your trust in them is long gone.
"i'm sorry, izana. but i can't go against mikey, i never wanted to betray, but i couldn't go against him." you tell him with a stoic look on your face, deliberately avoiding his eyes, "you too, kakucho, thank you for treating me so nicely before i did betray you, though."
the silence is uncomfortable, and the guilt is starting to eat you. mikey grabs your hand, sensing your emotions, just as kazutora comes rushing back over after seeing the group. he stands beside hanma.
"i will propose to you two a deal. join my gang." mikey suddenly says, gripping your hand hard, like he's forcing himself to say this.
"what do we get out of this?" kakucho finally looks up, not looking at mikey, but at you.
"you get to be on the same side as y/n." is what mikey proposes.
"deal." kakucho answers from izana, but the white-haired male does not argue with his friends decision, nodding to show his agreement. ran clears his throat.
"but you're betraying south-"
"i'll take care of that." mikey interrupts, the shadow that recently covered his eyes disappearing, wait, were his eyes always like that? he releases your hand.
"one more question, what about us, y/n?" rindou questions, and you can hear the hope in his voice. the two brothers turn to you, desperation clear on their faces. but you can't trust them, not yet at least.
"i will figure out what to do with you once you regain my trust."
"and do not worry about betraying south, rokuhara tandai will soon become a part of kantou." mikey says that before he turns to you, "y/n, whatever i do in the next few minutes, do not stop me. actually, kazutora, make sure she doesn't see."
kazutora ponders for a moment before something clicks and he nods, walking over to you and turning you away from the fight, covering your eyes with his hands.
everyone stays where they are as mikey walks towards the other two leaders, you can hear shouting, punching, and then silence. then there's one person shouting, takemichi? his shouting is soon followed by more punching, then you hear a woman's voice, the leader of brahman you assume.
someone covers your ears before you can listen anymore, and people start to crowd around you. then, the hands are removed, and mikey is in front of you, but this time he's covered in blood.
"let's go home, y/n. and the new guys, you can come live with us, since you are strong enough to become top members of our gang, but one wrong move, and you're dead." everyone nods as mikey grabs your hand, the tension in his body disappearing.
UNEDITED.
