Viper (Tokyo Rvengers Story)

8 Rooftops

July 12, 2017

After he came back to the future, Takemichi decided that he needed to see Mikey. Naoto had warned him that it was almost impossible to get a hold of him, but he insisted.

After some searching, Naoto found someone by the name of Atsushi Sendou, aka Akkun, one of Takemichi's old friends. Takemichi had changed the past causing Akkun to become an admin of Toman which was now their only way of talking to Mikey.

When they finally got into contact with Akkun, they were instructed to meet at a hostess bar that he managed. As they walked inside, someone bumped into Takemichi which caused him to fall down along with the phone in the stranger's hand.

Takemichi looked up and saw a short male with his hair tied in a long black braid. The stranger bent down to grab his phone as he glared at the two taller men. His stylish trench coat slightly swayed revealing a tattoo on his neck, which Takemichi couldn't make out, as he left.

As Takemichi got up he looked over to Naoto who just stared at the retreating stranger. "Something wrong, Naoto?"

"No... But is this really okay? For us to waltz into a place like this, I mean." Naoto turned back to Takemichi as he continued. "Sendou's a Toman admin now, remember?"

Takemichi started walking into the bar with a grin on his face "You're so dumb, Naoto. Friendships don't change that easily!" The two began walking in, unaware of the pair of eyes that followed them.

"Hey, ya, I'm still here. Get Kisaki and tell him to meet me on the roof next to Atsushi's bar. There's someone who he needs to see." The stranger turned away and began to climb the emergency stairs on the building he just talked about.

"Right away, Viper." The line went quiet as Yūki sat on the edge of the building as he waited for his friend and partner to show up.

Not even ten minutes later, Kisaki got to the roof and stood next to Yūki. "Why'd you call me here? Didn't you have a meeting with Atsushi?" He asked, confused as to why he’d been taken away from his work.

"Oh I did, but then I bumped into a very unexpected guest. He had a cop with him, so I suspect Atsushi will have his meeting on the roof." Yūki stood up and looked out towards the other roof. "They should, theoretically, be coming out any moment now." Right as he said those words, they saw Akkun and Takemichi walk out on the roof.

Akkun gleefully wrapped his arm around Takemichi as they reminisced about their childhood. Soon the conversation changed, causing a shift in Akkun's behavior. Yūki and Kisaki were watching the whole thing in silence.

The two of them were furious when it came out that Takemichi wasn't dead. That was the whole reason why Yūki even had a meeting that day, Akkun had been given a second chance at killing Takemichi.

"Hey, do you remember? Second year of middle school, summer. The day you stood up to Kiyomasa-kun. After everyone left, you asked me 'If we all go separate ways and meet up again as adults, what'll we say to each other?'" Akkun was staring out into the street down below, his muscles tensed as he prepared himself for what he was about to reveal to his old friend.

"Yeah! I remember that!" Takemichi smiled at Akkun, silently questioning why he had brought that up now.

"Well, how about this... The one who pushed you onto the tracks was me." Akkun glanced back at Takemichi. He didn't want to kill his friend, not after failing last time, but he knew there was only one way to get out of an order.

Kisaki stood behind a wall that was close by so as to not get caught while Yūki stood in the middle of the roof. He didn't care if he got caught, if anything he wanted Akkun to see him. Yūki already knew what he was going to do and only stayed to see what all he would tell Takemichi. 'What a fucking coward. Can't even take out a small ass like Takemichi...'
