chapter twenty four

Baji felt his collar being tugged, shoving him down the high pile of cars before he felt himself tumbling down when a pair of strong arms stopped his fall. "Hey hey, don't tell me you're letting your guard down, Baji?~" Moros spoke for the first time, purposefully making their voice more playful. "Ha, you kiddin'? I haven't even started!"

The two were about to go on a rampage when a blonde boy came in front of them, preventing them from going forward. "Chifuyu, what do you think you're doing?" "Baji, you shouldn't do this. If you take Kisaki down right now, you'd be betraying Mikey. You can't do that right now, for Toman-"

The boy was interrupted when an aggressive punch came his way, sending him off his feet. Baji looked at Moros with slightly wide eyes, who was originally planning to punch Chifuyu instead. "All your damn yapping, it's annoying the hell outta me blondie." Even without seeing their face, it was clear to Baji that Moros was beginning to become more and more impatient, just wanting to take Kisaki down.

"Chifuyu, I don't give a rat's ass what you think." Baji spoke bluntly, already turning his back away. "If...If you continue down this path, I won't hold back either." Baji, who first stared back at Chifuyu with widened eyes, smirked before counting down with a confident voice.

"Seven...Six...Hey, what's wrong? I thought you weren't gonna hold back, tch." Baji turned around once again before loud steps were heard coming towards them, when the mysterious person, who ended up being Takemichi, held onto Baji with dear life.

"We need to protect Baji, Chifuyu! Let's stop him together!" Takemichi cried out, clearly struggling against Baji. Chifuyu, who couldn't even budge, simply stared at Takemichi with teary eyes.

"It's no use, Takemitchy. I can't...I can't hit Baji." "What?! What are you talking about, Chifuyu?!" Baji, who had quite enough of their bullshit, elbowed Takemichi. The boy seemed close to passing out, but he continued to hold on tightly to Baji.

'I'm not here, I'm just a hallucination babes.' Moros thought as they watched everything go down. Hearing another slight noise, Moros lightly turned their head, noticing Kazutora creep up on them before seeing the knife in his hand.

'A knife? Is he trying to--!' At this time, Takemichi thought about everything happening, realizing something.

'Wait, Kisaki isn't the one who killed, it's supposed to be Kazutora. But, Draken said that Moros was the one who died today! Where...is Kazutora?'

In that moment, Kazutora had reached behind Baji before stabbing the knife straight into his back. "Die, Baji...!" Baji panted, but quickly noticed that he felt no pain.

Noticing that Baji had no reaction, Kazutora looked up and gasped in horror at who had taken the hit instead. They didn't let out a single wince of pain as the knife Kazutora plunged got deeper, making the wound even worse.

"Moros? Did they...!" With Takemichi pushing the zoned out Kazutora away, Moros' back began becoming even more bloody and went unnoticed by everyone.

"Moros! Are you alright?!" Their heart ached ever so slightly at Takemichi. Sucking up the pain, Moros forcefully said, "It's just a scratch. Thank you, Michi," before joining Baji again, in preparation to fight.

'It's just a scratch, calm down Moros. You've been through worse. What a loser I'd be if a knife of all things took me out.'

'Moros knows my name? Wait, the only person who calls me Michi is--' "Sit back and watch, Takemichi. We're going to kill Kisaki."

After Takemichi's somewhat motivational speech, Baji and Moros had simply looked at the two blondes with rather unimpressed looks before punching the two to the ground. They walked past Takemichi, not forgetting to give him a look before Moros spoke up, their voice slightly breaking.

"Take care of Mikey for me, okay?" Patting Takemichi softly, Moros went up with Baji. Baji looked at Moros with a look of worry before turning back to the crowd of Toman members.

'Kazutora's stab went deeper than I thought. Damn it, I have no time to apply pressure to it. Alright, let's just take steady breathes and go with it.'

"Fifty members of the third division versus me and Moros. Heh, let's do this boys!" Baji loudly yelled, tying up his hair before picking up his weapon, and giving another similar weapon to Moros, who gladly accepted the weapon before running towards the crowd. 

"Let's fuck 'em up, Moros!" The two quickly reached the hoard of Toman members, breaking the glass around them before aggressively beating them all down. Moros, under the helmet, felt themself smile, even more, increasing in speed.

"Hey hey, Baji! I'm already on member number fourteen! I bet I can beat up more people than you!" "Ha, is that a challenge?! I'm on number seventeen!" Takemichi, who watched from below, stared at the two in amazement.

They were among the final few members of Toman, with Kisaki slowly becoming more worried about his plan failing. "Don't underestimate Baji Keisuke. He's the only one who will ever beat me. As for that Moros person...How come Hanma never informed me on who that was? No need, just get ride of them, and quickly."

Moros was very skilled at fighting, no doubt about it. The only issue was the helmet, as it restricted their point of view by quite a lot.

They hadn't noticed one of Kisaki's men from behind sneaking toward them, prepared to deal a blow on them. Baji, who first noticed, called out for the incoming hit. "Moros, behind ya!" But, it was too late. A clear, loud sound was heard, stopping everyone from what they were doing.

They were pushed back from the hit, falling down from a mighty height before crashing onto the ground. The helmet cracked slightly as it flew off, exposing the identity of Moros. No one said a word as the figure slowly got back up, acting as if it was nothing. Their hair was covering their eyes, but it was clear to all who it was.

"No way..." "It couldn't be..!" "It was him all along?!" Takemichi especially felt himself panic, realizing that HE was going to die today instead of Baji.

The huffs quickly turned into laughter of insanity. The two gangs stared at the boy in shock except for Hanma, who seemed to have expected something like this to happen.

"Ahh, it's been so long since I've seen him like this. How exciting!~"

"Oi oi, who said to stop all the fightin', hmm?~" 'Moros' quickly returned next to Baji, his smile even more crazier and psychotic than before, though his eyes showed no light as they remained dark and full of malicious intent.

"Now then, it's punishment time!! <3"
