In Another Life (Tokyo Revengers: Chifuyu's fanfic)

Part 3: Baji is Amazing

Baji's frustration was palpable as he reacted to the unexpected sound of catcalling echoing through the vicinity. The presence of such noises, especially within the confines of Musashi Shrine during a Toman meeting, caught him off guard. Despite the absence of visible girls in the vicinity, the unwelcome disturbance disrupted the solemn atmosphere of the gathering.

As Baji's sharp words echoed through the shrine, it became evident that the situation was out of the ordinary. The unusual occurrence of catcalling, seemingly without cause, added an unexpected layer of tension to the already charged atmosphere. With no clear explanation for the disturbance, Baji's irritation only heightened the sense of unease among those present.

Chifuyu's nonchalant demeanor belied the curiosity that simmered beneath the surface as he scanned the crowd, seemingly unaffected by the commotion. Despite his attempt to appear indifferent, his keen eyes betrayed his true intentions, eagerly searching for something—or someone—of interest.

Suddenly, his gaze settled on a familiar figure ascending the stairs in an unusual manner. Squinting in an attempt to confirm his suspicions, Chifuyu's expression morphed into one of surprise as recognition dawned upon him. It was you. His heart raced at the sight of you, a telltale sign of the feelings he harbored. Despite his efforts to maintain his composure, his undeniable crush on you made itself known, setting his pulse racing with excitement and anticipation.

Chifuyu's heart raced as he recalled the first time he encountered you, the memory etched into his mind like a permanent mark. With a nervous gulp, he couldn't tear his gaze away from you, his crush resurfacing with renewed intensity at the sight of you.

"H-hey, Baji, isn't that... your neighbor?" Chifuyu's voice trembled slightly as he poked Baji's arm, unable to contain his excitement and apprehension. Baji's raised brow prompted him to gesture in your direction, urging his friend to look.

Baji's surprise mirrored Chifuyu's own astonishment as they observed you making your way towards Musashi Shrine. The unexpected sight of you in such a place left Baji questioning the reason for your presence. "Wait a minute. Is she lost or something?" Baji's inquiry reflected his confusion, struggling to comprehend why you would be in such a location.

Chifuyu's lips quivered with the hint of a smile as he responded, "I don't know, but she doesn't seem lost. She looks like she's heading here." Despite his attempt to maintain a neutral facade, the sight of you approaching filled him with an inexplicable sense of joy.

Baji's nonchalant response signaled his disinterest in delving further into the matter, opting to leave it be as he and Chifuyu resumed their walk. The sight of you approaching may have piqued their curiosity momentarily, but ultimately, they chose to focus on their own affairs.

As the meeting concluded, Mikey took the opportunity to introduce you as the newest member of Toman to the assembled captains. The realization dawned on them that your presence was not a coincidence, but rather a deliberate decision to join their ranks. The question of how you managed to gain entry into the meeting lingered in their minds, prompting a sense of intrigue as they pondered the circumstances surrounding your arrival.

Chifuyu's excitement at the prospect of you joining their division was evident in the spark that ignited in his eyes. Baji couldn't help but notice the sudden change in Chifuyu's demeanor, though he chose not to dwell on it further. Little did he know, Chifuyu's cheery disposition belied a series of unexpected actions and decisions that had been occurring lately.

From halting Mikey's initial decision to placing you in Mitsuya's division to ultimately ensuring you ended up in Baji's division, Chifuyu's involvement in the matter left Baji stunned. The realization that Chifuyu had played a significant role in orchestrating these events added another layer of complexity to their dynamic within Toman. Despite Baji's reluctance to delve deeper into the matter, the strange occurrences surrounding Chifuyu did not escape his notice.
