My Hero // Baji Keisuke

~37~

October 30, 2005

The past few days Baji still ignored you. You have tried to talk to him, but he kept ignoring you. You wanted to know why he joined Valhalla. You knew he treasured Toman, so finding out he was going to fight them was not right. The fight was tomorrow, so you wanted to try and talk to him again before the fight tomorrow. As you were out for a walk, Takemichi spotted you.

"Y/N!"

"Hanagaki, hi."

"Takemichi is fine. But I'm glad I got to see you. Have you talked to Baji-kun at all?"

"No, he's still ignoring me."

I was hoping she can talk him out of fighting Toman. "I guess it's all up to Chifuyu now."

"It's hopeless."

"Don't say that, we won't know for sure until we try."

"I know Baji-san will not leave Valhalla. I wish I could do something, but I can't. He won't listen to me."

"I'm sure there's something you can do."

"I know there's not."

I can't tell her about my time leap. "Please, try and talk to him, he can't get involved in that fight."

"No matter how many times I try, he won't talk to me. It's like I don't exist to him."

Takemichi grabbed your shoulders. "Y/N, please. You don't want to see him hurt, right? So try talking to him. Do whatever it takes for him to pay attention to you. Just make sure he hears you out. He can't get involved in that fight."

Hearing Takemichi say that, made you feel uneasy. It felt like he knew Baji was going to get hurt. You knew Baji got into fights and would sometimes get hurt, but you had a feeling it could be worse.

"Please, he can't die." Takemichi mumbled to himself.

"Ok, I'll try."

"Just don't get yourself down if he won't budge, I'll make sure to think of something as well."

Nighttime...

You were laying down in bed waiting for Baji to come home so you can talk to him. This time for sure you were going to get him to talk to you. This time Baji didn't come home late, so once you heard him come in, you quickly got out of bed and went over to him.

"Baji-san."

Again, he ignored you and walked past you. He was going to his room and you followed. He was going to close his door, but you put your foot there so he wouldn't lock you out.

"Baji-san! Please, can we talk."

"Just leave."

"No, I won't leave."

You kept struggling to try and go in. Baji saw how tired you were getting and thought you would give up. Surprisingly, you kept trying to get in regardless of how tired you were.

"Why are you acting like this? What have I done to you?"

Hearing you say that caught Baji off guard. For a second, he started to let go of the door and that's when you pushed through the door and went in.

Fuck.

"Can we talk?"

"Leave, I don't wanna talk to you."

"But I do."

"You're so annoying! Leave me alone already!"

"Why did you join Valhalla?"
