chapter fourteen: the bad idea
Kisaki forces you straight into your apartment, cursing at you as you fight him the whole time up the stairs. But he locks you inside without a single care, leaving you alone with your thoughts that make your brain want to explode. You finally end up letting out a scream from how pissed-off angry you are that you could even think about killing your brother- but how much better you'll feel once you finally get rid of him. This is no longer about your parents and whatever messed up crap they want from you. It's now about getting even with your deranged sibling.
You reach for your phone, thinking maybe you could text Draken or someone from the first division, but you doubt they'd even answer you. Besides, you don't even know the conclusion of the war yet. They could all be dead for all you know...
You look around your apartment and try to come up with any kind of plan for escape. You rush to your window and look down, suddenly remembering just how high up the fifth floor is. There's absolutely no way you can jump and survive that. But as you look down against the building's outside wall, you notice that your brother's apartment window is just below yours.
You rush to your bedroom and pull off the sheets of your bed. There's absolutely no way this is going to work, you tell yourself. I mean, this only works in movies, right? I'm going to fucking die! But it's better than sitting here and waiting for my asshole of a brother to get back and do god knows what with me!
You quickly tie your sheets together and secure one end to the foot of your sofa. On the other end, you grab a lamp and quickly tie it together. You then carry the lamp towards the window and toss it down so it shatters the window directly below you.
Taking in a deep breath, you carefully step one foot out your window and climb down until your feet reach the broken sill. You then slowly step through and enter your brother's apartment. But just as you reach his front door on the other side of the room, he steps in front of you out of nowhere.
"Where are you going?" he asks emotionlessly. "Where do you have left to go?"
"Anywhere but here," you scoff, having enough of his bullshit.
Suddenly, before he gets the chance to open his stupid mouth again, the door swings open. Distracted by the sudden outburst, your brother turns around. You use the free time to rush back across the room, grab the lamp from before, and whack him straight across the head. Only when he's passed out on the ground do you look at who has just entered.
Shocked to see Draken with Chifuyu and Takemichi on either of his side, you fall down onto your knees feeling suddenly light headed. "How'd you guys find this place?" you ask weakly.
"It was easy we just followed you guys here," Chifuyu smiles.
"His name is written on the fucking door, too," Draken adds.
"Well, not anymore," Takemichi mutters.
"Thanks, guys," you smile softly as you muster up as much energy as you can to stand back up on your feet. "I wasn't expecting you to come after everything Hanma said."
"Ah, we knew all along," Takemichi grins proudly.
"No we didn't," Chifuyu whispers as he nudges his friend in the arm.
"Yeah, but Y/N doesn't know that!" Takemichi continues.
You smile at their banter, seeing nothing has changed. But as you move your eyes over to Draken, your smile immediately fades.
"I'm really sorry for all the messed up crap my brother has done to you and everyone around you. None of you guys deserved any of that. I know that nobody could ever replace the people you lost but I hope I could at least help out if there's any way I can."
Draken takes a small step towards you and wraps his arms around your waist. You can feel your face heat up as your body meets his. "Draken, I really am sorry-"
"Don't. I know what you went through, too, so you don't need to keep apologizing to me," he explains. Then, as you look up at him, he smiles softly. "But you must promise not to lie to me again, okay?"
"Okay," you smile back. "I promise."
Takemichi then kicks Kisaki's unconscious body and shivers. "What do we do now?" he asks.
"We get the hell out of here," you reply.
The four of you quickly rush out of the apartment, descend the stairs, and stand outside by their three bikes. "Wait," you then ask. "Where do you guys plan on going?"
"Toman, obviously," Draken replies.
"Everyone's back at Toman already? What about the war?"
Chifuyu shrugs. "After Kisaki left to go deal with you, we only had to really deal with Hanma, but it was pretty quick and we still won."
"No way, so everyone's alright?"
"Probably not," Draken sighs as he shakes his head. "I'm sure they're all filling up on alcohol and whatever other drugs they can get their hands on as we speak. We better go."
You then quickly hop onto the back of Chifuyu's bike and ride away from your apartment from hell that you'll never return to again.
