Always By Your Side | S.M. (ENG)

6.

*PRESENT*

"You really have to go?" Woman asked sleepily.

"Unfortunately." Manjiro replied then buttoned his shirt and looked at his beloved again. "But I'll get back to you as soon as possible." He moved closer to her and brushed aside a strand of her messy hair. "I promise." Man assured her with a smile and then stole a kiss.

"Okay, but be carefull." She replied combing Mikey's hair.

"Mm, as always. "He nodded and then got up from the bed and put on his jacket. "I'll make it up to you. " Sano looked at her which made Ami smile.

"Can I steal you for the next few days?" She asked pleased. "The boys will certainly take care of themselves."

"Yes, you can."Man confirmed what pleased her. Kojima put on a dressing-gown and hugged her beloved tightly. "Thank you for always being with me." He said, taking her face in his hands and stroking her cheeks.

"I'll always be." She replied. "Just like I promised." She smiled and put her hands on his neck. "I'll always be by your side. Whatever will happen, I still love you the same." She assured him. "Nothing's gonna change that, Mikey-senpai." Woman laughed softly, which the other reciprocated.

"I love you."He kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly. "I'll probably be late so you don't have to wait with dinner." He said.

"But we'll eat a breakfast together, right?"

"Of course." He assured her, then adjusted his jacket, and Ami adjusted his collar. "We'll come back to our last conversation about Kisaki later. " He looked at her again.

"Okay." She replied, and for the last time she adjusted his clothes a little. "I'll wait for you as always. " She kissed her lover on the cheek. "Mikey?" Ami called before he left the building. "I love you." She smiled innocently.

"I know." He replied, left the building and got into the car with his men.

Kojima smiled involuntarily then went to their bedroom and went back to sleep. She got up early in the morning and was a little surprised that Mikey hadn't come back yet. Woman got dressed and put on one of her boyfriend's hoodies, then went to the big living room and looked out the window. She focused her thoughts on her beloved leader when suddenly someone's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"He's not coming back." She heard Kisaki's voice so she looked at him. "At least not so fast."

"You think so?" She smiled. "Who let you in? You're not allowed in here."

"Thanks to me, a few people had a rest for now." He replied with a cold smile.

"Really?" She smiled ominously at him. "Mikey won't trust you anymore."

"Why do you think so?" The man asked. "Until now, it was different. I'm his closest..."

"You're wrong." Ami interrupted him. "I'm the one closest to him." She smiled victoriously. "He always put me first and asked me for advice, not you. He consulted with me each of your proposals. I have a greater influence on him. " She said. "It always irritated you, didn't it? Because of me, you could never quite get to Mikey." She laughed. "You can't do it now either."

"You think so?" He took out his gun and smiled insolently at her.

"Will you keep trying to get rid of me?" She looked at the gun. "Same as Draken and the others?"

"If I succeeded with the rest, it'll be the same with you." He replied. "I got rid of them, and now I'll get rid of you as well." He reloaded his weapon.

"My death will get you nothing." Woman said, she wasn't afraid of him at all. "Even if I die now, Mikey will know the truth." She assured the enemy. "You killed the wrong people." She looked at the clock. "And right now, Manjiro is coming back here and now... He knows everything." She smiled at the confused Kisaki. "You lost."

"Are you sure?" He aimed the gun at her.

"Yes." She nodded. "You'll pay for everything you've done. " Ami looked him straight in the eyes. "Mikey won't forgive you. And, when you kill me now... You'll know what the real hell is..." She said. "Exactly the same hell that Mikey and I went through."

"Are you so sure? " He laughed.

"Yes." She replied immediately.

"Why?"

"Because Mikey loves me." She said and smiled. "And I love him. That won't change, ever." She straightened up and then turned her back to the enemy and looked out the window. Downstairs, she noticed that Sano had just returned. A tear ran down her cheeks knowing what was about to happen, but Ami smiled at the sight of her beloved.

"Say hello to Baji." Kisaki snorted and pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit a woman who flew out the window a moment later. People at the very bottom looked at the whole event with great shock.

Kojima landed on the floor, and in the last moments of her life, she looked for the last time at her beloved blond man, who just knelt next to her. Ami smiled at him and tried to grab his hand, but failed as her time ran out and the girl died in front of Sano. The leader restrained his despair, even though his heart had been torn into small pieces.

Furious Manjiro looked upstairs at the enemy. Earlier, he had received from his beloved all evidence of Kisaki's crimes and he wanted to deal with him, but the bastard ran away somewhere. Manjiro hurried home but didn't come back in time. He saw the death of a loved one with his own eyes.

"I'll kill you, Kisaki." Sano said sternly, when they finally managed to catch the traitor. "You'll pay for everything." He said firmly. "I'll tear you apart."

At the same time, Takemichi and Naoto were discussing their plan.

"Sano Manjiro..." Hanagaki wondered. "But wait, Naoto..." He looked at his companion. "You said that..."

"Yes." The other man nodded. "The woman standing by his side." He pointed at the photo. "He's the head of the whole gang, the leader or even the king." Said. "But her..." Man pointed at the woman's photo. "She's his queen. She's just as dangerous as him." He said. "She's not only a remarkably good killer, she's an important member of Toman, which also means she's one of the most coveted targets." He looked at his friend. "She's incredibly faithful to Sano, never leaves his side."

"Cool, they're so dangerous, and you want me to go back to the past and just prevent Sano's meeting with Kisaki..." The boy paled a lot. "They'll just kill me on the start."

"This is the only way, Takemichi." Naoto said, then he interrupted the conversation with his companion to answer the phone, a moment later he looked at his companion in surprise.

"Something happened?" Hanagaki asked.

"I just found out that..." He put down the phone and looked at the boy again. "The king has lost his queen..."

"Eh ?!" The other boy was surprised. "This woman is dead ?! But that means..."

"Another hell on earth..." Naoto interrupted him. "I don't know the details yet, but I'm afraid to think what Sano will do now." Man admitted frightened. "Takemichi." He came up to his companion. "Your time travel is the only way. This is the only way to save my sister." He looked at the relative's photo. "This is our last hope." He shook his hand to his friend. "Good luck. You're gonna need it."

"That's for sure." Boy laughed nervously and then became a bit serious and shook hand with his friend, and then his power was activated.

Time to start journey to the past.
