Takemichi Angst Prompts

13) "You're powerless"

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of Sexual Violence 

#########

Kisaki Tetta was a genius. A fucking genius. Takemichi cant help but admit it. After all, who can make his friends, who he spent his lives taking knives and bullets for, hate the shit out of him for no reason? Kisaki, that's who.

Sano Manjiro looked down at him from the steps of the shrine. He gulped. His black eyes stared into his soul, judging his very existence. The time leaper stared back with all his might. 

"I trusted you." 

Takemichi's breath hitched. His heart pounded in his chest. 

"I don't know what you mean," Takemichi said.

Takemichi knew nothing good will come out of acting recklessly. He learned from his mistake last time. He punched Kisaki out of nowhere. He won't do that again. Out of the corner of his eye, Draken came up to him. Takemichi braced himself without making it too obvious. Draken punched him. 

But he stood his ground. The impact made him stagger back but he kept standing. 

"What did I do?" He asked after recovering from the punched.

He heard Draken click his tongue, annoyed, before raising his hand again for another punch. 

"Ken-chin."

The second-in-command stopped in his tracks and left Takemichi alone. 

"You raped a girl."

"Eh?" He was confused. He processed the words for a bit. His eyes widened, looking up at Mikey. "EHHHH?!"

"I would never!" Takemichi denied quickly. "You have to believe me."

"LIAR!" Mitsuya growled feeling personal about the issue considering he has two little sisters. "The girl was unconscious and you were on her!"

"What? When did that happened?"

"Don't tell me you were fucking drunk you asshole!"

"That never--" He was punched again. This time by Baji. 

"Shut the fuck up, punk." Baji growled. 

Takemichi looked up at Chifuyu who was next to his captain. Chifuyu glared at him. Right there, Takemichi realized that if his partner couldn't even believe then no one would. 

So there was no point in arguing.  He just let them accuse him of such things. 

He got beaten up as punishment.  All the captains and vice captains took turns and beat him up to the point that he was bloody all over.  His face was swollen beyond recognition.  His bones have been broken a few times over.   His breath was ragged and uneven as if his lungs have been damaged.  It probably might have considering how strong the Toman members are.  Not even someone like Takemichi, who maxed out his durability, could survive this one. 

After they had their version of justice, they left Takemichi there by himself. 

Takemichi used his last bit of strength and pushed himself up.   He was standing, although shakily.  He willed himself to walk as far away from the shrine as possible. 

As if the gods hated him as well, it rained. Heavily.  The sheer pressure of the rain was weighing down his body. He was already unstable with all his injuries so it was getting harder for him to stand.

His blood trail from the shrine was washed away by the rain.  The pool of blood where he was beaten up was gone as if he was never there in the first place. Apparently, the others thought so as well since they acted like what happened that night never happened.  No one talked about it.  No one acknowledged it. No one uttered the name Hanagaki Takemichi or anything related to him. It was like he was dead to them. And Kisaki couldn't have been happier.
