A love Once cherished (Yandere Tokyo revengers x male)

Chapter 30 Pain

XENO’S POV

I was trembling and rooted to the ground as all I could do was watch Mikey beat Kazutora’s face repeatedly, blood splattering all over the place. Mikey as well as Mitsuya also could only stand and watch. Kazutora just smiled, tears in his eyes as his blood caked his face. “Mikey….. MIKEYYY!”. My hands trembled as I saw Baji stand up, coughing blood as his cry made Mikey pause. “You got mad… just for me? Thanks man”. “You gotta stay down, Baji-san!!”, shouted Chifuyu as I saw the kid barely holding it together at this point. Baji didn’t listen and got down from the cars, slowly walking towards him… his feet squelching from the amount of blood that covered him. It even overflowed and dropped to the ground, making a grotesque pattern. “I’m not… gonna die. This wound… ain’t gonna kill me!! So don’t worry about it. Kazutora”. He took out a knife and pointed it towards himself. That was when I sprung into action, knowing I had to stop him before it was too late. I had a vision of this before the battle, but I thought it wouldn’t happen. I ran towards him but I sadly didn’t make it in time. “You… are not gonna kill me”. “BAJI NO!!!”. I saw him him plunge the knife deep into his gut as Chifuyu let out a cry. “BAJI-SAAAAN!!”. Keisuke dropped to the ground, Chifuyu catching him just in time. “Baji-san! Why!?”. Kazutora stood up swaying from side to side as he grinned up at Mikey. “You’re nest. You’re gonna die along with him”. “Shut up. I’ll beat you to death”. I stumbled across the battlefield shaking my head, tears gathering in my eyes. How could’ve this happened?… I was supposed to protect them… I collapsed onto my knees beside him. “Baji-kin… why’d you do it? I don’t get it… why would you.. what were you trying to achieve… by stabbing yourself!?”. “Takemichi.. come closer. Kisaki is the enemy. I realised that back when Oah stabbed Isanai. I just happened to catch Kisaki proposing to Mikey”.  A painful pang went through me at the mention of Kisaki’s name. I was… part of this… I’m at fault… for getting Baji to stab himself. “Kisaki is not… our third duvision captain!! Toman was former… by the seven of us. No matter what happens… Pah”s the only Captain of the third division. Pah-chin, Mitsuya… Draken. Mikey. Kazutora. Xeno. Toman’s founding members… are my treasures. I wanted to fix this on my own. But, I just couldn’t. I… died on my own. Mikey has no reason to kill Kazutora… it’s about time… I’m starting to hallucinate. Takemichi. You remind me of Shinichiro-Kuhn somehow. Mikey… and Toman… I’m leaving them… in your hands!!”. “Don’t. Baji-kin. Don’t say that!!”. “Chifuyu”. “Yes?”. “I’d kill for some Peyoung Yakisoba right now”. “I’ll go buy you some”. “We’ll split it. Right?”. “Thanks”. “Chifuyu…”. “Baji-san…?”. Tears fell down my face as I hyperventilated, my breaths coming out in pants. How…. Could this happen? Now…. Keisuke’s dead… “BAJI-SAAAAN!!”, Chifuyu screamed in grief as he clutched the body to him. I can only imagine the pain he feels. He’s been with him for years, while I only came back recently. The bonds we had were weaker, and I felt like I wasn’t part of the gang no longer. “AAAAAAAAAGH!!!”.

Mikey was back to hitting Kazutora repeatedly. “I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you!!”. I couldn’t even  move as I looked at Keisuke’s still form, tears spilling down my face and soaking my mask. I looked up to see Takemichi had gotten in front of Kazutora. “Move… or I’ll kill you too”. “You gotta stop this!! Mikey-Kun!”. He only got punched to the ground, but stood up again. “Baji-Kun didn’t want this!!”. Another kick. “Don’t you… talk about Baji”. “Don’t talk about Baji? Baji-kun’s dead godamnit!!”. That’s when the damn broke and I sobbed, folding in on myself as I couldn’t hold back from the pain and grief. “Why don’t you get it!? What do you think Baji-kun died for in the first place?! It was for you two… for Toman!! Baji-kun wasn’t killed by Kazutora-kun… He decided to kill himself!! Because he didn’t want Kazutora-kun to feel responsible!! Because he wanted you to forgive Kazutora-kun! He did that because he loved you guys! Why can’t you understand?!!”. “Takemitchy….”. “Damn it!”. Mikey then kneeled and picked up a charm. A charm that was very familiar to me. “Takemitchy. Where’d you get this charm?”. “Ever since that day. Baji… This is the charm. From the day we formed our gang. I didn’t create Toman. Baji did. ‘If one of us gets hurt, we’ll all protect them. I want a gang that’s all for one, and one for all’. That’s what our Gang was founded on”. “Baji-kun was fighting all by himself… this whole time”. “To uphold the promise he made that day… I’m sorry. Baji”….

*WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO*

The sound of an ambulance filled the air. “It’s the popo’s”. “Let’s go guys”. “Okay break it up! Nice and easy!”. While the other gangs cleared out I still lay on the ground choking on my tears from the pain I felt. “I’m staying with Baji. You guys go on… This is my fault. I want to take responsibility”. “Got it”. “Toman’s leaving too!”. “Right!”. “Mikey… I won’t ask you to forgive me. I’ll give my whole life with Baji’s death… on my shoulders”, finished Kazutora as he bowed to Mikey and the others. “Let’s go Xeno”. I was picked up by Hanma as he carried me out with him. I couldn’t move. I was still shocked from what happened.

3RD PERSONS POV

“Fufufu. You can stop pretending Baji”, chuckled Kazutora as Baji sat up with a grin, cleaning off the fake blood. “Did you see his face”. “Mhm. He truly believes your dead and knowing him, he believes it’s his fault”. “This is going exactly how Mikey planned it would. Soon, Xeno will belong to us”. “Fufufuhahaha!!”. “Hahahaha!”.

TWO WEEKS LATER

I sat next to Keisuke’s grave holding back more tears, although I doubted I had any left to shed. I cried so much in the past week, that my eyes were red and puffy. My face swollen from it all. “Don’t cry Xeno-kun. Everything will be alright. You’ve still got Toman”, Chifuyu whispered sweetly into my ear as he hugged me from behind. Unknown to me, he was smiling sickly as he couldn’t get enough of my warmth, holding me and not telling the truth about the recent events.
