13.

*PRESENT*

"What are you saying, Naoto?!" Takemitchi walked over to his friend. "I thought that everything would change for the better, not worse..." He grabbed his head. "You said I was to guard Baji-san during the fight against Valhalla." He said. "And now this?"

"Takemitchi!" The boy called to calm him down. "The future has changed and this time, Mikey's queen isn't with him. She's gone."

"Ami-chan..." Hangakai shook his head. "But how?"

"I've been looking everywhere, but I haven't come across any mention of a certain Ami... as you said." He was looking at his laptop. "It's like she doesn't exist." Said and then he glanced at his companion again. "Are you sure that's her real name?"

"Everyone calls her that..." Theother one wondered. "I'm sure Ami-chan would never left Mikey. They're very close to each other. Something must've happened."

"You need to find out what her real name is." Naoto interjected. "Only then I'll be able to find some information about her."Man sighed. "Since my sister is also death in this future..." He hid his face in his hands.

"You said Ami-chan was at Toman's before and she was an assassin, right?" Hanagaki thought. "In the worst case, it could mean... That since Ami-chan isn't at Mikey's side now... Then..."

"She died." Naoto looked at his companion. "The question is how? And when? What happened in this future?"

"It can't be true..." Boy shook his head. "If Ami-chan is dead, then Mikey-kun..." He sighed heavily and chased away the tears. "Naoto." He looked at his friend. "Whatever leads to such a future... I'll change it for sure. Mikey-kun, Ami-chan, Draken-kun, Baji-san and others... They're really amazing people. I'll do anything to help them. We'll also save Hina. For sure." He nodded.

"You know your early plan to become Toman's leader is still pretty ridiculous." Naoto replied. "Even if you would ever succeeded it, not all of them would like this turn of events. Even if the plan would to get rid of Kisaki from the inside."

"I'm aware of this. I would never be able to replace Mikey-kun." He looked at the boy again. "It's a waste of time, I'll go back and find out everything." He extended his hand to the man. "We'll save everyone, Naoto."

"You better be right..." man shook his hand with him, and then Takemichi's power was activated.

*PAST*

"Takemitchy?" Ami waved a blonde hand in front of her face.

"E-eh ?! Ami-chan?" He was surprised.

"Why are you so surprised?" She looked at him. "I talk to you and talk, and you do nothing."

"S-sorry ..." He scratched his head, not really knowing what was going on around him.

Chifuyu shook his head and Hanagaki jumped up, he wasn't expecting a friend here.

"He was probably thinking about Hina-chan." Kojima laughed. "You better take care of her, Takemitchy." She shook her finger at him and took one of the chocolates placed on the table.

After a while, the blonde's memories returned and he realized that on the way he and Chifuyu met Ami-chan and they together decided to go to the cafe to talk.

Teenager kept glancing at the girl sitting next to him. He wondered what he should do to make sure that 'Ami-chan' was her real name.

"Well..." Hanagaki began hesitantly. "Ami-chan?" Teenager glanced at her, and a moment later she got hiccups.
