Izana's Precious Twin

What To Do About Tenjiku??

Once again an emergency meeting was declared. This time to discuss Tenjiku. They noticed Draken looked more grim tonight than usual. Some noticed a new face amongst the crowd. Inupi Seishu joined the First Division and stood next to Chifuyu and Takemichi.

Draken addressed the crowd. It was a bit sudden but Toman would be going against Tenjiku today. This gang was different compared to other ones they fought. Tenjiku has been dubbed a criminal organization. and would not hesitate to use underhanded tactics to win. Weapons and ambushes alike.

"And Toman has to do the same!"

Hakkai walked in looking pissed and upset. He was usually pretty cool and collected so this must've been pretty serious. 

"Fuck them up with dirty tricks! Taka chan and Smiley were attacked on the way here!!"

"What?!"

"Both captains? Seriously?"

"How?!"

"Damn."

"Bastards!"

Hakkai continued with the veins popping out and face reddening. 

"We were riding our bikes and they got hit from behind! Now they're unconscious in the hospital! They'll use any means to attack us! Toman will lose if we play fair."

Takemichi debated telling Mikey about Izana's twin brother, Izumi. He spent a lot of time with Emma and got close to him as well. What if he was a spy for Tenjiku?! Emma could be in danger. Maybe that's why Mucho accused him of being a traitor.

Hakkai's word gave everyone a wake up call. The First Division was injured and not in top fight shape. The Fifth Division turned traitor and they were down a significant number of fighters. The Second and Fourth Division captains laid in hospital beds. Pah was in Juvie.

Murmurers grew into shouts and yells. Their captains had been ambushed, surely they couldn't be expected to fight honestly. Weapons were the only way to fight back and win. Surprisingly, it was Peh who brought them back to their senses. 

"You guys so afraid of losing you're gonna use weapons?! Pah is in Juvie because he stabbed Osanai. I was angry at Draken and tried to do the same. Mikey told me, I don't want to fight the likes of you!"

The meeting concluded pretty quickly after that. The mood had considerably lifted and some went out to eat together before the big battle. Takemichi told Chifuyu to go ahead as he was gonna talk with Draken and Mikey.

"What is it Takemitchy?"

"Listen Mikey. Tenjiku's leader has a twin brother. His name is Izumi Kurokawa!"

"Izumi?"

Mikey couldn't believe it. He had hoped that the Izana running Tenjiku was not the same as Izumi and Izana. They weren't incredibly close and stuff but made some progress. Mikey got on better with Izumi because he was more friendly and worked with Emma.

Hurt. That's what Manjiro Sano felt to hear that his half brother was leading a rival gang that brutalized his captains and members. Now it all made sense. Why Izana disappeared from the Sanos. Izumi stopped talking to them and Emma even said he rarely spoke to her during their shoots.

If Izana was the leader then Izumi was the second in command. They stopped communicating with him because they were running Tenjiku. Mikey no longer wanted to go and seek forgiveness from Izumi.

He wanted to destroy him for having known about this and not saying a thing. Draken shook him when he saw how Mikey wasn't moving, just standing there breathing. His eyes had dulled and his face was blank.

"You okay there Mikey?"

"Yeah. Sorry 'bout that!"

A little too cheery of a response. Mikey thanked Takemichi and sent him off. He bid goodbye to Draken and returned home. He and Shinichiro were gonna have a talk.

Baji took Izumi back to his house and was shocked that it was a penthouse of all things. His mom insisted that Baji's new friend stay the night but he politely declined. It was nighttime and Izana was probably in a panic over where he was.

And he was. When he opened the door Izana glared at Baji but Izumi came to his defense. They waved bye and that was that. Izana practically interrogated Izumi as Kakucho watched in the background clearly amused.

 Izumi smiled remembering that. Today was pretty much normal, took his classes and walked around the city. Now it was evening and he needed to cook

But feeling lazy he made egg salad sandwiches and fruit bowls. Grabbing a light jacket he went to a nearby Family Mart and raided it of their onigiri, buns, and chicken nuggets and chicken fries. And some candy, why not. 

Izumi heated up some packages and put the rest into the fridge. The table was set but they were not back yet. He opened a tray of sushi and watched the news, eating on the carpet.

"We're baaaaack!"

"Welcome back."

He left the empty tray and chopsticks on the coffee table to hug and greet them. Curiously both wore red pants with long white belts. Takemichi had mentioned being attack by a bunch of guys wearing those.

"Something wrong Izumi?"

"No Kachan. Come on, dinner's ready."

He and Izana shared a look and changed in their rooms before coming out to eat. Talking about each other's day and stuff, Izumi mentioned the matching outfits.

"I think its cute that you guys are wear matching clothes!"

"Oh yeah? I hadn't even noticed."

"Since when did you start doing that?"

"Recently actually. Why the hell not?"

Kakucho to the rescue.

"Takemichi said he was attacked by a bunch of guys wearing red uniforms."

Izana straightened up and Kakucho stiffened. For this reason he and Izana never mentioned or hinted at Izana having a sibling because they most likely would be targeted. Ironically it was Tenjiku that harmed him.

"Nope! Must be a coincidence!"

"Really."

"Izana is right you know. I'm sure that it just happened to look similar. Your brother and I aren't in any gangs."

"Ahahaha. Sorry for accusing you Kachan."

He smiled hearing his soft voice. Izumi did feel a little dumb for thinking that it was the same. I mean, there's plenty of red clothing out there with kanji. To be fair he didn't get a good look since they were being chased.

"Do you have any plans tomorrow?"

"Sort of. Hitto and I will be out at night so you can have your friend over!"

"You mean Keisuke?"

"Is that his name."

The 3 boys continued eating. Izumi didn't sense the tension after questioning them. Izana and Kakucho would have to be more careful to not expose themselves. They fantasized torturing and ruining the boys who hurt Izumi.
