Izana's Precious Twin

Time Travel Or No?

Naoto's team completed their mission and arrested a total of 50 people at Eden. Christopher was not found and assumed to have escaped officers. Takemichi had sent a barrage of texts and 2 missed calls.

He sped through his reports and went home where Takemichi had been waiting fruitlessly for hours. Naoto was confused at first but realized that past Takemichi must have came back. 

"Naoto! Tell me what happened?! Izumi and Izana are missing and I can't find Mikey! You guys lied to me!"

He watched Takemichi's desperate face tear up and his hands shaking him violently as he demanded answers. Voice cracking with confusion. This future was supposed to be the one. It started off so well with Pah's marriage and his and Hina's own ceremony in a few months.

All his friends should be here with him to celebrate a joyous moment. Naoto prepared himself and told Takemichi all the important and big events that happened in the future. He reassured him that the twins had been rescued but Mikey was unknown.

"I think one of your friends may know what happened since I wasn't involved with Toman."

"Could you take me to Izana and Izumi? I want to see them."

He agreed and texted Ukai where they'd been taken to. Hospital. Naoto drove Takemichi to the hospital Ukai brought them too and read the assumed names they'd been admitted under. Takemichi panicked hearing they had been hospitalized.

Sanzu and Mikey walked into the living room and curiously saw the other executives sitting there. He spoke at Koko.

"Koko, I want you and Sanzu to find out where Izumi Kurokawa is."

"Aren't the Kurokawa twins still missing?"

"No. The cops found them but they aren't at the station. Hospital maybe."

He didn't miss the way their bodies straightened and perked up slightly hearing that. Mikey pretended to not see anything and went back to the office to learn more about this Eden cult.

Sanzu nodded and they sprang into action. All doing their best to gather information and get a location.

In the hospital room Izana and Izumi played Poptropica on a laptop brought by one of the staff. Ukai came around and told them to wait here since Naoto and a friend would be taking them home. Izumi did feel less tense with Izana next to him and that Naoto would pick them up.

Izumi opened his mouth to say his name but nothing came out. Had Christopher really scared him so much that he just stopped talking? It had been at least a year since he spoke so maybe he just needed some practice.

"Ughhhh."

He cringed at the sound. That was the sound of a zombie moaning, not a human trying to say his brother's name. Izumi cleared his throat and tried again but to no avail. Izana brought him some water but yielded the same results.

Izana got a call from Naoto, Ukai left his phone behind and kept the walkie talkie who said they would be there in less than 10 minutes. 

It was a short reunion when they arrived. Takemichi couldn't believe it. Izumi and Izana were both alive and well, from the looks of it. Naoto however wanted to leave immediately. If people were after them then they could be caught.

"Takemichi we don't time right now. We can catch up at my place."

"Oh right! Izana I'll carry him for you."

"Thanks."

Izana seems wary of letting him hold his brother but Takemichi promises to be careful. Izumi clings tightly as they rush down the halls and into an empty elevator. Takemichi tries to not look at the scars at Izumi's ankles and think about what they mean.

All three follow Naoto to his car and get in before exiting as an expensive but discreet black car rolled in and parked. Sanzu, Takeomi, and the brothers stepped out and ran into the reception area.

Sanzu actually owned this particular one and demanded access to their patient records.

"Izumi Kurokawa was admitted under an assumed name sir!"

The frightened woman told him quickly, quivering at the gun he's pointed at her temple. It gets even worse when she has to tell him that they checked out less than a minute ago. Pinky looked ready to burst a blood vessel.

Ran asks for the security footage. They're taken to the security room and the guy in charge brings up the time Izumi is checked out. On the somewhat fuzzy video is are two additional people that are not the twins.

Both have black hair, one is curly and in casual clothing while the other's is straight and wearing a uniform he guessed. The time stamp read 2:48, They came here at 2:50. Koko heads back to the desk.

"Who were the two additional people with Izumi and Izana Kurokawa?"

"One moment please......It says Naoto Tachibana and Takemichi Hanagaki sir."

"..."

"Sanzu, she says it Hanagaki and Tachibana."

"Tachibana? As in Naoto Tachibana? That one annoying cop that's still trying to get us arrested or whatever?"

Rindou questions. Sanzu nods. Naoto was very persistent and refused to give up on identifying and arresting the Bonten executives. And now he was with Izumi. Takeomi drives this time to his apartment.

His information is readily available since he is a minor threat at most.

Naoto's Apartment-

Takemichi slowly put Izumi down on Naoto's bed who immediately curled up. Izana stayed next to him. He turned to Naoto.

"Who are you? I don't think we've met before."

"My name Naoto Tachibana. I'm Takemichi's friend and his fiancée's brother."

"Izana Kurokawa and I'm Izumi's twin brother, five minutes older."

Takemichi once gain relayed his concerns about Mikey and after some discussion Naoto agreed to have him time travel again. He saw no need since his sister was safe but Takemichi insisted he had to since something horrible must have befell Mikey.

The brothers listened in as Takemichi informed them of his ability and time travel adventures to save everyone. They watched the two shake hands as apparently that was the trigger to send him back and forth.

"Huh?"

Takemichi was shocked. There was spark of electricity and flash of the darkness indicating he went back. Naoto seemed to have a theory.

"I think it's because I don't have the strong will to change the future since mine was to save Hinata."

"But that can't be!"

The front door burst in and in came 4 well dressed men. The one in the purple suit looked around and his eyes landed on the person he was looking for.

"Izumi!"
