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

21.

Mikey and Draken were in the hospital. They broke down, they didn't understand why it happened. Why someone close to their heart... Died.

Takemichi tried to reach them but for nothing. There was going to be a fight against Tenjiku tonight, and he promised to take care of everything, lead the fight and ensure Toman's victory. He promised them, but keeping that promise was much more difficult. When the fight was already going on, Hina, who was also in the hospital, approached the heartbroken Sano and stood in front of him. The girl also suffered, Emma was her friend, and so was Ami. The teenager wanted to talk to him, both of them.

"Can I talk to you for a moment...?" She looked at the broken Sano. "I think... I think Takemichi-kun was trying to save Emma-chan... And Ami-chan as well."

"You shouldn't be saying things like that right now!" Draken said. "Why is everyone acting so strange... First Takemichi, and now you too... What's wrong with you today?" Said devastated. "Damn... Better leave us alone..." He softened.

"It's not just about Emma-chan or Ami-chan..." Hina continued. "Takemichi is trying to save many people at the same time..." Said. "I'll die... In twelve years I'll die ..." She announced surprising the others.

The girl not so long ago overheard her boyfriend talking to himself, through his chatter, she found out that he can travel in time. She promised to forget about it, but now, she decided to tell them everything. Perhaps thanks to this, she'll be able to convince them.

"To prevent my death... Takemichi came here from the future. This may all sound like a load of crap, but it's true. You have seen his desperation for yourselves... He knows the future of each of us... And he wants to save us all." Said, which surprised her friends even more. "But I... I can't do anything for him... That's why I'm asking you for help." She said.

Hina's words motivated Mikey and Draken to act. The fight was already underway so the leaders had to hurry to get there. Sano was still worried about Ami, but figured her disappearance was also the result of Kisaki and Izana as well. He promised to find her and he would. He could only find answers in the people who had taken her from him.

Manjiro and Ken arrived at the scene, and then there was a big fight between the Sano brothers.

"Where is she?!" Mikey called, fighting. "It was your doing! You killed our sister! And you took Ami from me! Where is she?!"

"Don't you feel lonely right now, Mikey ?!" The older brother laughed. "Are you filled with emptiness?"

"You're wrong..." Sano said. "I still have a brother... And so do you..." He said gently. "It doesn't have to end this way. " He wanted to reason with him, save his family, but not everything turned out as Sano wanted.

Manjiro managed to distract his brother and Izana began to lose, but then Kisaki distracted them.

"Mikey!" He shouted and pulled the bound and beaten girl to him.

It was Ami. Blood was pouring from her head, she was badly hurt and was barely standing on her feet. Tetta held her tied with a rope, then pushed her down and made her kneel.

The sight of the beloved turned the blond's attention away from his brother, so now, it was Kurokawa who had the advantage.

"Let her go." Manjiro pleaded.

"Will you feel lonelier when I kill her in front of your eyes?!" The leader of the hostile gang laughed. "What's with you?!"

Kisaki put a gun to Kojima's head, which stopped Sano from delivering a blow.

"What are you gonna do now, Mikey?" Tetta looked at the younger brother.

"Don't hesitate, Mikey!" Ami said. "Don't worry about me. You have to win." After these words, Kisaki hit her in the face and the girl fell to the ground.
