Izana's Precious Twin

New Member Acquired-Takashi Mitsuya!

The three judges all stood up while throwing their hands down on the table in fury at his rejection. This award competition was not taken lightly by it's competitors and judges.

"Are you fucking serious?! How DARE you reject such a prestigious award like this!"

"Have you lost your ever loving mind?!"

"You're throwing your future like this?!"

He continued to stand there and let them yell and shout insults at him before speaking into the mic again.

"No matter how great the award is. It is meaningless if you abandon the friends who helped and made you the happiest for it. Then that award is downright shitty!"

His words touched their hearts. The crowd? Not so much. They were fed up with him and booed him off the stage and out the auditorium.

Back at the shop-

Hakkai and Takemichi looked glum. Trying to decide how to softly break it to Chifuyu that he was officially fired as the team's manager. 

"What are you two whispering about?"

"Ahaha! Whispering?!"

"It's nothing, really!"

The two whispered even more quietly in front of Chifuyu. Neither wanted to say he was fired. That problem resolved itself with Chifuyu wanting tell them something he saw about Mitsuya on the stage.

Thousand Winters had come together opposite of Mitsuya. Chifuyu stepped and asked that he take over as the team's manager instead of him.

"Surely my skills are lacking in comparison to yours."

"I accept! I'll also redo the team's uniform, logo and name too."

"Mitsuya!! Our savior!"

They happily cheered. Inupi just stood off to the side watching them celebrate. Chifuyu was confused as to why Mitsuya wanted to change them. He worked hard on those designs! Draken snickered to himself, he wasn't a big fan of them either.

"That's not necessary."

"If we're going up against the Kantou Manji gang then we have to get serious!"

"We've been serious!"

"Thank you so much Mitsuya!"

"Taka chan!"

He also informed Takemichi that Pah and Peh would be joining them as well. Inupi had gotten the twins to come too. He smiled talking about how Smiley was mad that he wasn't invited first before them.

Takemichi had to laugh at that. Of course Smiley would be upset about not being their first member. With the addition of four they now had a total of ten members. He inquired about Izuku.

"House arrest. And Baji too."

"What?!"

Not literally. Izumi has a squeaky clean record. Izana figured keeping him at home was the safest place to be. No getting shot or hospital visits again. Naturally he was firmly opposed to this but Izana quickly explained.

He wouldn't be cooped up 24/7. He could go out but with him or Hitto. That was final. As for Baji, his mom heard details from Izumi. She was shocked to hear that Keisuke was being involved with such dangerous people and had a good scolding.

Baji felt horrible and never wanted to see her so stressed out and scared for him. She knew he was in a gang but didn't say anything because he seemed much happier and livelier. So Baji declined Mitsuya's invitation and took a break from delinquency for a while.

With that all sorted out the next item on the agenda was to recruit Senju. Takemichi really wanted her to join. He met up with Takeomi who agreed to bring him to her. Takeomi did warn him that Senju was feeling down in the dumps since the conflict.

He brought him down a familiar flight of stairs he remembered as Brahman's meeting arena. Where it was once raucous and filled with cheers and shouting was now empty and silent. Her head was down as she sat on the bottom step.

"Senju?"

"I'm fine Takemichi. I learned my lesson. I don't stand a chance with Mikey, I couldn't even defeat South. Because I lost Brahman is gone. Senju Kawaragi is retired now."

"It's not over yet Senju."

"But it is. I don't have anything left in me anymore."

"Senju!"

"You'll regret this Senju. You pursued your goal of being strongest while your brothers went ahead and became lost."

Takeomi was speaking now. 

"But me going crazy and Haruchiyo becoming astray isn't your fault lil sis."

"You're wrong. Haru's scars and Mikey's dark impulses are my fault."

Both guys were now thoroughly confused as to what she was saying. It didn't make sense. Why would it? She was claiming that Mikey's dark impulses and Sanzu acting weird was because of her.

And so she started her tale. It began with Mikey running down the cobbled street followed Baji of course. Then Sanzu and his younger sister, Senju yelling at them to wait for her to catch up.

Mikey held up a plastic airplane model Shinichiro had made and ran around making sound effects for it. Takeomi and Shin sat on the couches watching the young in's play.

Commercial Break!-

I just want to take this time real quick to tell yall about the "Shinichiro Theory." I found it's link from a fanfic on Ao3 and it led me very lengthy tumblr page. It has changed my perspective on some things after reading all of it.

The user basically theorizes that Shinichiro had a psychical relationship with Mikey and Izana. In other words he sexually abused them and Emma and gramps don't know about it. It is spoilers for chapter 243.

I understand that it is a sensitive and uncomfortable subject for some so don't read it if you don't want to. I did and it does make some interesting points. Like why didn't he introduce Izana to the rest of the family sooner?

Izana is in the same situation as Emma in that both are abandoned by their parents and want a family. She is welcomed with open arms but Izana continues to stay at the orphanage, isolated from the Sano's except Shinichiro.

Another section from the page details how Shinichiro was able to get to the shop so quickly. That is, unless he was already inside. Which would explain why it took longer for him to show up when Baji and Kazutora are trying to steal the bike.

The second part is that Mikey is standing outside with the crowd. We overlooked the fact that he was there so quickly and most likely the police have yet to notify the anyone about the break in, much less a child.

So it is possible that Shinichiro and Mikey were both at the shop in a different area and that's why he took a while to come out and how Mikey made it there so fast. It's pretty interesting to read and they did a better job of explaining of course than I did.

If you want you can check it out. I have a link right underneath.
