MY PRETTY || Tokyo Revengers

- 93 -

You remained still, watching as the 400 members of Tenjiku charged forward, the rest of the executives mimicked your actions, watching as the underlings took charge.

Izana turned away, walking back to the container vans and climbing up, taking a seat as he watched the battle unfold. Kakucho was with him, standing in front of the container van he was sitting on.

You looked over at your brothers, giving them a nod as the three of you took off, running into the crowd. You maneuvered through, punching and kicking whoever got in your way.

Your eyes widened as you sensed a punch coming in your direction, you ducked quickly, barely dodging the swing. Your eyes found Haruchiyo who was glaring at you menacingly. "You're fucking dead to me, Y/N."

You smirked and in a split second your fist collided with his jaw, forcing him back a few steps as he cradled the spot you hit. His eyes darted back at you. "What the hell?!"

"Don't expect me to strike up a conversation in the middle of a fight, Haru. I know your strength and I won't let you distract me with your useless chatter," you said. "If you're going to fight me, do it properly."

Your head tilted when he made no move to charge at you.

"I... I can't do it," he growled, shaking his head. "I can't hit you."

You kept quiet for a moment before breaking out into a grin. "Aha~ ♡ what a nice surprise!" You laughed crazily. "If it were the old days you wouldn't even hesitate to kill me!"

"Kill— what?! What are you talking about?!" He looked at you as if you were crazy.

You waved him off. "I'll let my underlings deal with you, I have other things to attend to."

"WAIT—"

Before he could continue, you were gone. His eyes scanned the crowd but for some reason, he couldn't find you. When he moved to try and chase after you, he was attacked by more of Tenjiku's underlings.

You on the other hand, slowed your pace to a walk, not bothering with Toman's underlings since they wouldn't hit a girl. The only person who would attack you in Toman was Senju— or so you thought.

Something powerful collided with the side of your head. "AH!"

You staggered a few steps before regaining your stance, eyes darting to find the culprit, and soon enough your eyes locked with a pair of brown ones.

"Baji?"

"I knew you were suspicious," he sneered. "I should've killed you sooner, tch."

You only laughed in response as his stare turned into a glare. "You're so funny!" You smiled, but it only lasted a moment before your expression dropped. "If you wanna kill me..." you spread your arms, a crazed smile growing on your face. "You gotta catch me first!"

In a second, your brothers appeared running straight for him. Rindou tackled him quickly and Ran followed with a blow to Baji's head using his baton.

"Just beat him down," you ordered lowly. "I don't want any concussions or broken bones on this one."

"BAJI-SAN!"

You cringed in frustration, eyes wounding shut as you took a second, calming yourself as you opened your eyes and turned to the direction of the voice. Chifuyu was running straight for your brothers.

Just as he was about to reach them, his eyes widened at a sudden shadow clouding over him. His eyes found you and before he could blink, the heel of your boot collided with his cheek, knocking him back a few feet after redirecting his momentum.

"Stand down, Chifuyu." You ordered. "I won't hurt you anymore so, stand down."

He looked up at you, holding his cheek. "Y/N..."

"I didn't wanna do this, but after Izana had found out I became friends with you guys... he became angry with me." You told him and his eyes widened a fraction. "He suspects I might betray him, and in order to prove him wrong I will give my 100% to beat Toman. You understand that much, don't you? You'd do the same for Baji."

He kept quiet, unable to respond. Because as much as he wanted to deny it, what you said was true. If it was for Baji, he too would— he shook his head, not wanting to think about it, and instead watched as you walked to Baji and your brothers.

"Stop."

That was all it took for your brothers to release Baji. His face was contorted in pain, eyes shut tightly as he laid curled on his side, clutching his ribs. Baji may be strong, but even so he cannot outmatch your brothers who are in their prime, even if he were to fight them one on one.

"Did you knock out that annoying smurf?" You asked, staring at the two of them.

Rindou tilted his head. "Smurf?"

"No." Ran replied.

"Let's do it now then," you said, running a hand through your slightly disheveled hair. "We can't let that stupid smurf cry or else it'll be great trouble."

* * *

"Smurf boy is down!" You chirped, stepping over Angry's back. He and Smiley lay on the floor, unconscious.

Your eyes grazed the crowd and you spotted quite a few of your fellow executives on the ground too. Namely Shion and Mochi.

You spotted Mucho close by, taking on Koko and Inui. You expected so, since Mucho was the one who incapacitated Taiju and took him out of the fight.

You weren't worried though, because you knew Koko and Inui were no match for Mucho, together or not.

However, your eyes widened when you realized something in particular.

Most bodies on the ground... belonged to Tenjiku.

You quickly scanned the area in a panicked frenzy, spotting Draken in one corner taking out Tenjiku's members in waves. You shook your head, Draken wasn't your biggest concern.

"Ya lookin' for me, Y/N?"

You spun around, eyes wide as Mikey approached you with a smile.

"You're really giving Toman a hard time, y'know?" He chirped. "I heard it was you who tipped off who to take out of the fight. I didn't think you'd do that."

Your gaze fell to the ground. "Izana... is my priority," you muttered. "He learned of my friendship with you guys, and he hit me. He thought I betrayed him, and he might start to hate me."

You finally looked up at Mikey, a cold expression tainted your face. "If I let that happen... he might kill me."

This time, it was Mikey's eyes that widened. He remembered what Takemichi had told him before he came back to the era of the three deities. Takemichi had told him about how he killed you when you tried to save Takemichi.

"Y/N..." Mikey murmured. "How many times... have you gone back in time?"

"Twice," you replied. "The first, was after you killed me."

Mikey understood.

Though you were putting up a front by playing the crazy, merciless, blood-thirsty person he didn't recognize since the start of the battle, he realized now that you were just afraid of Izana killing you like how he did.

You were afraid of Izana no longer caring about you to the point he deemed you dispensable enough to be killed, the same way his future self had done so in that one fateful timeline.

This fear of yours, created a dangerous obsession to prove yourself to Izana at all costs, that included harming your own friends and anyone that opposed him.

"Mikey," you called, snapping the boy out of his thoughts as he looked at you. "I will not lose Izana, a second time."
