Y/N's POV

Mitsuya dropped me off at the orphanage where Shuji works at. I was walking towards the gate when I saw him playing with the kids. Some of them were doing his hair, some wanted to arm wrestle with him, and some were grabbing onto his ankle like their life depended on it. 

It was a beautiful sight that I rarely see with Shuji. He was happily smiling... 

"Pretty lady!!!" Just then the kids spotted me and started running toward me. I bent down to their height and patted their heads. 

"Good to see you guys too! Did Shuji treat you guys well?"

"Onee-chan, he's sometimes a big meanie. He won't allow me to eat chocolate," Ruby spoke. 

"That's because you were trying to eat it at night," Kenshin stated. 

"What that's not true!" 

With that chaos started. 

......

I was with Shuji now on the bench. We were enjoying the comfortable silence. 

"Thank you Y/N," he started which made me turn to face him. "I think I understand now, the kids here are all alone. They don't have any parents and no one's willing to take them in because they are sick. I want them to live long and meaningful life. I don't want them to not be able to experience the amazing things life can give us.

I always thought life was meaningless and hated my life. When you told me to become significant, I did things I shouldn't have done. When I found you after years later, you coldly spoke to me. Saying is this being significant and stuff. I was beyond angry and wanted to get approval from you more than anything. It was not until I saw you getting hurt on multiple occasions that I realized the meaning of those words. 

After Tenjiku disbanded and I had nowhere to go, you welcomed me and helped me. That's how I ended up here, taking care of the kids. Thank you Y/N."

"Shuji, you came a long way. I'm proud of you but you don't and never needed my approval. The whole purpose for you being significant was so you can feel happiness. I want to thank you too, whenever I come here to see you with the kids it brings me joy. You are no longer the boy I met all those years ago. You have grown to become a fine man. I'll be going now Shuji." I waved to him and left. 

Hanma's POV

Y/N, you are the source of my happiness. If I hadn't met you, who knows what I would have done with life. It's all thanks to you. 

You are the one who gave me the amazing things that are happening in my life. I sincerely love you. 

When I have the courage, I'll definitely confess to you.

......

Y/N's POV

It was the next day, meaning Takemichi should be back by now. From my understanding, he should be riding a motorcycle with Ken right now when Seishu suddenly gets thrown by South. 

I am in my car, driving towards where they should be meeting. The timeline might have changed and someone could be seriously hurt this time. I parked my car and started running because of the traffic. 

They are all already here, meaning I should run even faster. I could see a glimpse of Rokuhara Tandai and Brahman's uniforms. I think Takemichi, Ken, and Seishu are badly beaten up even though Takemichi shouldn't have gotten hurt. 

Just when South was about to land another punch on Takemichi, I jumped high and kicked South's face. This resulted in him flying back a good few meters away from us. When he was out of sight I checked their injuries.

"Huh?! DID SHE JUST DO THAT?!?!" Everyone was beyond shocked and terrified.

"Wait, I know her. SHE'S L/N Y/N! A MODEL AND A FUTURE DOCTOR! She was also known as the Tokyo Manjiro gang's advisor and was viewed as the EMPRESS!" One of them said. 

"What's she doing here?!" 

"How did she just do that?!?!" 

Multiple questions were thrown at me and I couldn't help but get tired already. 

"Y/NNNNN!!!! Long time no see!!! It feels like forever since I last saw you! I tried searching for you back in my hometown but you were nowhere to be found! When I came to Tokyo, I saw your face all over the city!!! I have been looking so hard for you but you were here and pretty famous at that!" South then ran toward me with his arms opened wide. 

Just then Wakasa, Takeomi, and Beneki all stepped in front of me in a protective manner. 

"Just who do you think you are?" Beneki spoke. 

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her," Wakasa added. 

"You better back off, if you know what's good for you." Takeomi finished.

When South was about to punch Takeomi, Ken appeared and held his fist. "You heard them, didn't you? Leave her out of it." 

"Hey, I'm just trying to greet Y/N here. Plus if we are being fair she was the one who kicked my face in the first place."

They were arguing when I decided to step in having enough of this. "Hey South why can't you be a decent human for just once? I remember the day you killed your own master with your bare hands. Your hands are littered in both your master's and your mother's blood, I think it's time for you to just relax because if not I can assure you that your blood will be spilled next." 

They were all frozen, they are probably surprised I'm acting like this. I mean most of the time, I'm more heroic than anything. But that doesn't mean I can't become a little harsh. It was then that he started laughing. 

"HAHAHA!!! You're so hilarious Y/N! I remember that day too! It was the day I first met you, Y/N. You looked so unimpressed even though you saw someone die right in front of you. Aren't you the crazy one here?" 

"Multiple near-death experiences change you, South." 

"HAHAHA!!! I didn't know you had such humour! Become my woman! Become my queen and I'll show you great things!" 

Everyone had a look of surprise in their eyes. 

"No."

"Boss having her on our side wouldn't do very good. She might act as a spy for Brahman or even Kanto Manji Gang," Kakucho stated. 

"He's right boss, she'll be useless to us," Ran added.

"I agree, you have us. If she's with us, she isn't going to do anything significant." Rindou mentioned. 

"Do you guys like her or something?" They became tense at South's question. "Oh, I know all of the former Tenjiku's higher members did have some sort of connection towards her. You guys have probably known each other for a long time because if something happened to her some of the Tenjiku members always ran toward Y/N. Am I right guys?" South intimidatingly asked them while they were all frozen. 

"That's enough South, leave them alone. I know how much of a violent person you are. You probably forced some of your members to join you just like what you're doing to Ken and Takemichi. If I find out that you or one of your members hurt them, I'll be the one to spill your blood." I spoke to him in a deadly tone.
