The group wore black hoodies and masks. Something about them made Izumi take a step back. An encounter with a hostile group never ended well for anyone. He gripped the umbrella more tightly as the leader conversed with a guy in the back.

"That Hanagaki?"

"Why the hell are you asking now?!"

"Doesn't he have blonde hair?"

While they bickered, he was able to have a longer look at their faces. The masks covered a lot so he focused on their other features. Their voices, eye and hair colors, and builds. He did his best to commit it all to memory through the loud thunder and the rain interfering with his vision.

"You sure......small......South...worry....life on the line...right here. I'm sure South'll understand!"

He froze seeing the gun held in the latter's hand. He wanted to run away and find cover but his body wouldn't move. Izuku held his hand up to shield his face. He pulled the trigger. Izumi felt a white hot flash on his hand and then on his neck.

The impact and shock caused him to fall back and curl into his side. His left hand was bleeding and he cupped his neck where it felt wet with a thicker fluid like blood but he couldn't tell. His eyes saw the ground get darker with blood as he tried his best to block the wound with his hand.

"Let's go. He's gonna bleed out in a few minutes."

"Let's go for some ramen. It's freezing!"

"And fried chicken!"

"You guys go ahead. I'm gonna finish what's left of the clip into him."

Izumi felt his body start to numb from the cold and lack of movement. The blood slowed a little and it was enough to keep him alive a little longer. His hand was throbbing painfully and he made out a shadowy black figure walking towards him.

"Heh. Just makin sure the job's down. No hard feelings Hanagaki."

He was too weak to lift his head and face the attacker. He heard the gun and weakly cried out. Satisfied the guy left him to bleed out in the cold, alone. He had now been shot in the legs and abdomen.

"Help..."

"Izumi!!"

There was no way someone heard that feeble call for help. 

"Hey it's okay it's okay, I called for an ambulance. Izumi?"

The warm hand wiped his face allowing him to see who was cradling him. Kisaki?

It was indeed Kisaki. Same hair and glasses with his distinct earring. He looked worried and gently held him to share body heat. Sirens and shouting made it's way to them. Izumi was conscious long enough to feel paramedics put him on the stretcher but exhaustion and soreness won.

He closed his heavy eyes and slept. Kisaki accompanied him in the ambulance blaring its way to the nearest hospital. 

Senju had went to the bathroom when patrons heard gunshots ringing not too far away. There was panic and a mad dash to get out of the park grabbing children's hands while screaming and running.

Takemichi mind's went back to Senju's promise and he ran towards the restrooms she was at. He saw the unique pattern of Brahman's coat and the owner lying on the ground.

"Senjuuu!"

"What's up?"

She sat up and looked at him with calmness. Takemichi caught his breath and saw she had no injuries like his vision had. But there was no mistaking she was severely injured in his vision. Was it wrong? 

"Someone has a gun and shot somebody! We have to get out of here!"

He grabbed her arm and began dragging them to the park's exit. Izuku was waiting for them there.

"What about Izumi?"

"He's probably waiting for us outside! So let's hurry!"

The paramedics had left by this point and were on the slick roads. 

Koko was typing at a nice desk inside a fancy office with large windows showing the rainy state of the outside. Their finances were doin much better than expected so he was working late to get it all in.

"What's up boss?"

Mikey stood with his hair down watching the downpour and hands in pockets. 

"It's raining quite heavily. I have a bad feeling about tonight."

Takemichi and Senju had run into Draken who was out of breath but relieved to see them.

"What are you doing here Draken?!"

"We've gotta get out of here Takemitchy! Rokuhara's got a target on your back!"

"We heard gun shots earlier!"

"Right. Listen Takemitchy, you've got to be more careful starting now. You have a high title and Rokuhara probably shitted themselves hearing you joined Brahman."

"As far as to use a gun?"

Takemichi looked at Draken lowering his voice so she couldn't hear.

"I could see the future Draken. And in it Senju protected me but I changed it. And it's all thanks to you. We changed one future!"

"Is that so? I'm glad."

"Come on! We have to leave! The shooter could still be in here!"

The trio ran to the exit and went back to Draken's shop for now. Inupi was waiting for them and shared dry towels and hot drinks.



Rokuhara Tandai Hideout-

Their hideout was a nightclub owned by one of the companies working with them. South was in the midst of stomping the leader's head. He had became suspicious when the group gave a description of the person they shot.

"That! Isn't! Hana! Gaki!"

South was furious to hear that a girl holding an umbrella was hit instead. The grunts couldn't even do a simply task like eliminating a rival. Kakucho kept a neutral face but internally started freaking out.

Tanned skin, long white hair, and a casual dress. That fit Izuku's appearance best. But if he made a scene or acted weird the other guys would catch on. Especially Mochi and the Haitanis. They wouldn't hesitate to tell South about this.

The brothers were livid to hear that their friend had been shot multiple times. Rindou looked at Ran who nodded. The two made their way down to get his attention.

"Let us finish them, South."

"Why would you want to do that?"

Ran's eyes narrowed and the guys on the floor flinched at the cold look in them. They promised plenty of pain and suffering.

"They shot someone very close to us. Izumi Kurokawa. It's only fair that we punish them for this."

"I see."

South knew that last name. Kurokawa Izana was the one he knew but a sibling made it all the more interesting. He could see the bloodlust in the brothers' eyes. South stepped aside and allowed them to as they wished.
