AGENT CRYBABY (Discontinued)

Chapter 3: Alone

It's been a whole month since the incident that ruined Takemichi's life. He had no home, no insurance, no money, no food or clothes, and no one to turn to.

All of his friends turned away from him. The Mizo four no longer wanted to see him, and Hina who broke up with him a couple days after. Kisaki's lies reached the hearts of everyone he loves. Takemichi was now truly alone once again. And he admitted, he lost.

He has been living under a bridge in the city of Yokohama, because everywhere he turned, members from Toman were ready to beat him. No where was a safe place for him in Tokyo. He had no choice but to travel by foot to the new city.

It was night time and Takemichi only had a couple of blankets his backpack that he used as a pillow. His stomach started growling; he checked his backpack and his pockets for any leftover yen, but he had none. He was so hungry he couldn't even think. He did decided to do a desperate move and search in trash bins and dumpsters for any leftover food to go into his skinny stomach.

He first went to a near by park; luckily the park wasn't to close to the public streets, so he wouldn't have to face embarrassment from strangers. He searched all of the bins in the park and he was out of luck. He then decided to search the dumpsters at the alleyway of some restaurants, but there was no either.

' Where is everything?' He thought.

He turned his head and saw a couple of garbage trucks pass by, no wonder. He decided to walk back to his spot, but fatigued consumed him and he started getting lightheaded; he took break at a near by bench in the park. His stomach growled again, so he slumped his body on the bench to lie down.

Droplets of tears were sliding down his face, " I'm so hungry, I miss everyone." Takemichi sniffled.

Tiredness filled Takemichi eyes, and he fell asleep.

Takemichi was then woken up by the steps of multiple people who were snickering at the boy from a distance. They all approached the boy, not 3, not 5, at least 20 people in front of Takemichi. They were all wearing the red Tenjiku uniform, which made Takemichi's heart was filled with anxiety of what the boys might do to him.

" Well look what we have here, why are you all alone by yourself boy?" One of the members said while having a creepy smile on his face.

" I... uh.. umm." Takemichi stuttered.

" Ewwwe, he smells like absolute sh*t, when was the last time you showered." Another one of them which made the rest of them laugh at the boy.

Takemichi was getting aggravated at the group, he stood up on his feet. He couldn't fight them because he doesn't have enough energy.

" Just leave me alone." Takemichi protested. The group looked at each other with surprised faces, then bursted into laughter even more.

" I can believe he thinks he stands a chance with us."

" When was the last time he ate, he look like a fricken twig that's ready to snap."

Takemichi didn't want to fight them, he tried to walk away from them, but his plan failed when one of them grabbed him by the shoulder and threw him on the ground. They all started to surround the boy, with evil smiles on their faces, ready to have some fun.

" I want to try my new brasses on him." One of them had brass knuckles with little spikes on the end. Takemichi was terrified of what might happen to him, but his fear came true.

The gang members have been beating Takemichi for the past half hour. Their knuckles covered with blood, and they didn't care about their clothes because the colors matched. All of them had a chance to pummel the kid. Takemichi was almost unrecognizable, there were bruises all over his body and his ankles were twisted. All he heard was ringing in his ears and his vision was blurry.
