Warning: this chapter will have manga spoilers and mentions of death. Please don't read this chapter if this bothers you.

Eri has a bad feeling and that is not good. The first time she had a bad feeling was when she was five. A few hours later, her mother told her that her father left them.  There was also the time when she was 14 and later found out that Emi got in a fight with Ayame and was at the police station.

She was outside her and Mikey's office when she heard some low Bonten guys talking. There was a guy who was asking about Bonten. Bingo.

'' oi idiot one and idiot two you are now going to spill.'' after that she got all her answers and made her way to the bowling center. She saw a guy with black hair walking inside. She followed after him.

He sat down on a chair and mumbled something. Before he could do anything, Eri stood behind him and put a knife against his throat.-she got the knife from Seishu-. He tensed and tried not to move.

'' really stupid of you asking about Bonten. I mean, what do you think would happen? Now tell me who the hell are you?'' the knife now touched his throat.

'' I'm Takemichi -'' she interrupted him.

'' hm, I think I know you. Do people also call you Takemitchy?'' she asked, and he nodded.

''Eri what are you doing here?'' a familiar voice said. Eri rolled her eyes.

'' finally having a real mission. He was asking about Bonten.'' she then saw Sanzu pointing a gun at Takemichi.

'' Sanzu and Eri please leave us alone.'' Sanzu nodded and left. Eri stayed and Mikey rolled his eyes.

'' great future, don't you think? So, do you got something to ask?'' Mikey asked, and Eri looked at him worried. His eye bags got bigger.

'' here, I wanted to give you that.'' Eri didn't understand a thing.

'' and that is?'' Mikey asked, and Eri put the knife a little closer.

''an invitation letter to my wedding. I want you to come, no matter what... everyone is doing well, just as you promised 12 years ago. Everyone, including Hina, is living a happy life. Everyone expect for you.'' Eri gritted her teeth.

'' don't talk about Mikey like that! He may look like Sangwoo, but that doesn't mean he is living his life like Sangwoo.''

'' Eri could you leave us alone. I want to talk to him, just the two of us.''

'' hell no! I'm not Sanzu who is following every word you say, and you were the one who made me the second boss.'' Mikey let a sigh out.

" Mikey, what on earth is this 'dark impulsivity'. I thought that the reason you snapped was because of Kisaki, or your brother's death, but that doesn't seem to be the reason. What were you talking about, back in that video?" Eri looked at him confused and looked at Mikey.

There was then only silence until Takemichi broke it.

"I couldn't turn back the time with the usual handshake with Naoto because I've fulfilled my goal, saving Hina"

"This future is different because you protected everyone..." Eri was shocked at this new information. That was one of the reason Takemichi could stand up.

"Therefore now, it's my turn to save you!" Before he could say anything, he was shot two times. Eri was familiar with shooting and never cared about it, but now she was too much in shock.

She saw how Mikey stood over Takemichi and shoot him for the third time.

" Manjiro that is enough." Mikey looked her at the corner of his eyes.

" I didn't want to meet because things would end up like this. Your long Journey ends here, Eri let's go." She was about to follow him when they both heard something. He was mumbling that he would save Mikey. Miley didn't care and just walked.

Eri looked at the man with nothing but pity. She followed soon after Mikey.

" I will end everything here. Are you still going to follow me, Eri?" He asked and she looked at him. She now understood why the events of a few days happen. She was going to die today.

" it's not like I have anything better to do." She smiled at Mikey, and that sealed her fate. She had the urge to follow him. Both made their way to the roof. She stood next to him.

" Eri...thank you." Mikey smiled and she nodded. 'If I now think about it my life never had really a meaning but when I meet Bonten it changes. I have laughter and yelled and saw a love story. Yeah, Mikey .. No, Bonten really gave my life a meaning.' She held his hand and he gave her a sad smile that she didn't see.

Somewhere down, Sanzu looked at both of them in shock. He yelled their names, but they didn't hear him.

Eri saw that Mikey was deep in thought, and she decided to do the same. ' Father and dad are going to be so angry but what are they going to do? Yell at my grave?' She thought with a small smile and looked at Mikey.

" Everyone, let's do this!" Eri chuckled a little.

" Never thought I would die Dazai's dream." With that, both jumped down the building. She looked over at Mikey, and that was the first time he looked that peaceful.

"I will not let you die! Quick, grab my hand!" He yelled.

" This is stupid. I tried to kill you, y'know?" He started.

"Yet." They talked and talked, and then he started to cry. Eri looked at him and let a sigh out. ' You stupid ghosts, why didn't you tell me we would die? I would have never let Mikey out because I could never allow him die alone.'

" Please help me." After that, Takemichi too was falling down with them. He was passed out, and Mikey hugged both Eri and Takemichi.

" Eri goodbye." That were the last word that were ever spoken to Eri, and she smiled at Mikey and nodded. Bonten will always be her family and nothing will change that. She would even die for them because that is what a family is supposed to do, right? They would all die for her, so she died for them. Well more like for Mikey but no one cares about the details.

*Sometime in the past*

Mikey was walking in the rain after the battle with the three deities. He was feeling empty and just walked around. Then someone ran against him.

He looked down and saw a child. She was about five years old and looked at him annoyed.

"Sorry for running into you! But I really need to leave because Emi is waiting for me! She got in a fight with Ayame today, who is a really mean girl at our school! I don't know if she is alright, so I need to leave. Goodbye ..." Mikey's eyes widen when she left. He must have heard wrong, that could not be possible.

Did this girl just say 'goodbye Manjiro'? He looked after her and saw her running in the rain. Without even knowing, he started to cry, but he didn't understand why.

'Goodbye Eri..' he didn't know where that came from, but he just ignored it.

Because this would be the last time they would ever meet again in this Universe...








I love sad endings. I mean, you can't really expect a happy ending. This is Bonten and Tokyo revengers is also not a happy Manga/Anime. The next chapter is going to be the 'better' ending, but you can decide that.
