[24]

year: 2006

Takemichi

I'm back in the past. A lot happened in the future before I came back here. I'm not sure what I'll do first, but I'll definitely beat Izana Kurokawa and Kisaki. It's messy, but I need to cast Tenjiku aside first. Right now, all I want to know is why would Mikey trust Izana Kurokawa more than Draken?

By now...

Mikey must've met Izana Kurokawa, right?

"Woah.." I heard myself gasp in amazement as my eyes wandered the place. "So this is Mikey's home.." I said as I followed Draken from behind, but my eyes never left Mikey's house. It looked so cool, and it's pretty huge. "Right here." I heard Draken in front of me, causing me to look at him. I followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at what looked like a closed garage. It's right beside the dojo. "This is Mikey's room." said Draken, looking at the garage door.

I got a little excited as I stood beside him and said, "Oooh, it's in a different building!"

I heard Draken let out a soft chuckle, "This was originally their garage, where Shiniciro-kun tinkered with his bike all the time.." he said, smiling a little. I let out a small smile as I took a quick glance at Draken.

Then Draken turned to fully face me, "Me and Mikey always came here and watched him work. He never got tired, I tell ya.." he said in a slightly cheery tone. "And [first name]-san would always help him clean up after he's done tinkering.." he added. Then my smile faded when he mentioned [first name], and I began to recall what Naoto in the future told me about her.

[first name]-san died in 2006...

which is this year.

w-wait..

Then my thoughts were interrupted when Draken spoke, "It's a shame she doesn't live with Mikey anymore."

I looked at him in confusion, "Huh? So you mean that [first name]-san isn't with them right now?" I asked, pointing at where Mikey's house is. Draken shook his head at me, "She decided to move out 2 and a half years ago," he said as he went up to the garage and opened the door. "and boy, it made Mikey and Emma really sad.." he added.

I followed him inside Mikey's room, I was about to ask him if [first name] comes here all the time to visit Mikey and Emma, but I stopped when I saw the inside of Mikey's room. "Woah!! Mikey's room is so cool!" I said my eyes wandered the whole room--Mikey even has a TV in his room, and I couldn't help but notice that some of his things are a little mature.

I looked at Draken and said, "His stuff is kinda mature, isn't it?"

Draken went to the couch and said, "Well, most of it is Shinichiro's stuff.."

I was about to ask something, but I heard a voice behind me, and it caused me to look behind. "I only own the bed.."

It was Mikey, I flashed him a wide grin and greeted him, "Mikey-kun!"

He gave me what looked like an irritated look and grumpily said, "It's still morning, don't be so loud.."

Then we began to discuss Tenjiku..

and Izana Kurokawa...

"I see...Izana Kurokawa.." said Mikey, with his arms crossed, and his serious-looking eyes staring at me...while Draken was fixing his hair for him. "So it was him the other day..." said Mikey as Draken combed Mikey's hair—his one hand was holding a chunk of Mikey's hair while the other was holding the comb. "Huh?! You met him?" Draken asked, with a hair tie in his mouth. "Yeah.." Mikey responded.
