Mikey

I feel so empty.

I groaned lowly when I received another punch from Kakucho in the face—it interrupted my thoughts. He's been punching me in the face for almost a while now. "What's wrong, Mikey?!" he yelled, but I didn't look at him, my eyes remained on the puddle on the ground. "Are you holding back on me?!" I stayed quiet, not planning to look at him and respond to what he was asking me. "THEN WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?!"

Then I heard someone screaming my sister's name, I looked over my shoulder and saw [first name] from afar—doing what I ordered her to do, which is fighting the top men in Brahman. And not only she's fighting her former friends, but she was also fighting every single member of Brahman interfering.

[first name]'s a strong person..

but she has a soft side.

As I watched her being brutal to everyone going near her, I began to recall the time that she acted like everything was fine—and that was the day that I realize that she was not just physically strong, but also emotionally..

That time was when Shinichiro died.

—flashback–

"Shit, shit, shit.." I could hear big sis cursing under her breath multiple times. I quietly took a peek as I remained behind the wall. I saw that she was wearing the type of clothes that she usually wears whenever she sleeps—which are just one of her weird-looking bras and some sweat shorts. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed..

I wonder when she'll ever stop sleeping half-naked.

Then I noticed something off about her—she looked like she was about to leave. She was holding one of big bro's jackets while her other hand was holding her car keys, and what confused me more was the look on her face...she looked so scared. That's when I decided to step in, "Big sis..? What's wrong?" I asked as I quietly walked my way to her.

I heard her gasp when she heard me, then she slowly turned to look at me. "Mikey..?" she whispered. I raised a brow at her and said, "Where are you going?..you look like you're in a hurry.."

She stared at me for a moment, not saying a single word. Then the scared look on her face vanished as she shook her head and turned her attention back to the locks of the door, "Nowhere. You should..go back to bed.." she said in a very calm tone.

Hearing her forced calm tone, confused me more. I tilted my head at her, "Huh? You okay? You sound like you're about to cry?"

I heard her sniff, before saying, "Just go back to bed. Don't worry about me."

I watched her go out the door, but that was not going to stop me. I hurriedly followed her outside, "H-Hey! Tell me where you're going first, [nickname]!" I yelled, which caused her to flinch and stop in her tracks. She looked over her shoulder and looked at me with her eyes slightly wide, "D-Don't be so loud, Manjiro..!" she whispered.

I frowned at her, "Tell me, where you're going first..!" I whispered back at her, "And I want to know why you look like you're about to cry?!" I said, then I suddenly thought of her boyfriend. "Did you and your stupid boyfriend fight?! If so, don't cry about him! A guy with a weird earring like his doesn't deserve you!" I yelled.
