Toman's Little Sister

63 | King and Queen

"Senju!" You waved at the train station.

"Ah, there you are!" Senju finished the last of her ice-cream and ran up to you with Takemichi trailing behind her. "Where'd you go?"

You clutched your bag, remembering the earrings you had placed in their a few minutes ago. "A jewelry store. It's... someone's birthday soon."

"Oh, cool!" She turned to Takemichi. "He made me discovery choco-mint ice cream! It was one of the greatest things I've ever tasted!"

"You're just discovering it now?" You let out a soft laugh. "You really have to get out more, Senju. Keisuke showed me that when we were toddlers. Where have you been?"

She rolled her eyes with a playful grin. "You should've showed it to me, then!"

"I would've if I knew you were missing out! Are we finished?"

"Yep!"

You reached into your bag and pulled out Akashi's credit card. "Tell him I say thanks."

"Not a problem!" She waved to Takemichi. "Thanks for today, Takemichi! It was fun! Brahman will have a meeting on Tanbata, so don't forget."

"Alright!" Takemchi waved and turned to you, seeing that your lightened face that you displayed in front of Senju disappeared. Your face was scrunched up in pain, but you quickly hid it from Senju, although the attempt failed for Takemichi.

"Hey, how long are you going to keep that ice cream stick?" He pointed to Senju's hand.

She lifted it with a quiet hum then smiled at Takemichi. "...Let's get choco-mint ice cream again." And she tossed the ice cream stick.

It was like a flash, a blurry image of Senju lying in Takemichi's lap, tears in both of their eyes, and blood splattered on Senju's face.

A vision. Takemichi had never had any of those. He'd just hope things would go his way.

"Takemichi." You tugged on his shirt. "Come with me."

He walked next to you in silence for a moment, seeing your nervous finger taps against your bag and your eyes shoot up when you heard a loud noise or saw any sudden movement. Ever so often, you'd turn behind you. Then scan the area in front of you.

"Five exits, around five hundred and fifty people..." You began mumbling.

Then you'd jolt, stepping back and staring down at your body.

"Are you alright, Y/N-chan?" Takemichi wondered.

Then you pushed him into the wall, your right hand alone being able to keep him completely still. "Why are you here?"

"H-Huh?"

"You're not Takemichi." You stared him in the eye. "Not the one who'd bomb all his tests or walk with his legs spread and his head up high. You use an honourific with me. You're the one from the future."

His eyes widened. "You're... as smart as usual, Y/N-chan."

You removed your hand from his chest and shook it off as if you had gotten something on it. "You're coming to my house, and you will explain to me why you're here."

"So let me get this straight." You rubbed the side of your head after hearing what Takemichi had said. A vague description, it was. Everything was normal, arriving at Pah's wedding, until he realized that Mikey wasn't there. He didn't mention a thing about you.

"You were at your wedding. Like... you and Hina. And you ditched... for another man?!" You stood up at the conclusion of your sentence, making Takemichi flinch in his chair.
