sanzu haruchiyo, a criminal and a member of bonten just opened up his own business, an underground fight club. as his business expands day by day, this gorgeous woman walks into the club with a flyer in her hand.
little did he know, this woman is go...
"Hanae, are you going to Senju's party? It's tomorrow." Inupi reminds me. "Oh yeah, her party is at R&H Club, isn't it?" Her party is tomorrow and she wanted everyone to bring a partner but I don't have anyone to go with.
"Inupi, are you coming?" I ask. He shakes his head, "I have more motorbikes to fix." He says. My lips curves down, "Well if you're not going to go, I don't want to go." I set the tool down and sit down on the arm chair next to where he is fixing a bike.
He twist his head at me and flicks my forehead, "You need to go. Go for you and me. Senju will let it go if it's me but for you, she won't."
"I didn't get her anything yet." I respond. It's an excuse but it's the truth. I actually haven't bought her anything yet. "Then what are you doing here? Go buy her something. I'll be okay here alone."
He simply kicks me out of the shop. Senju is my childhood friend. I guess you can say, Takeomi introduced me and her together since I was a lonely child who just follow Takeomi around.
It's been a long time since Senju and I talked, I was surprised she invited me to her party or even recall me in her past.

Standing afar, I stare at the purses that's on display. "What should I get her?" The salesperson soon approach and help me pick out a purse that's suited for Senju.
As I walk for the exit, a beautiful blue sparkling dress on display catches my eye. I walk towards it and stare at the design. "Oh, it's you, Mayumi." The familiar voice by the name of Takashi pulls me back to reality.
"Oh Takashi, hi." I didn't care to correct my real name to my preferred name, I was too caught up with the beautiful piece in front of me. "Welcome, do you like this dress?" He points at the piece.

I grin at him, "I do." I admit. "Try it on." He says. "I can't. It's too pretty for me." I resist but he insisted. After trying it on, Takashi encouraged me to buy it so I did.
"Hey, are you busy right now? I was thinking we should catch up. There's a restaurant right across from my shop." He points ahead of him so I nod at his response.
I didn't have anything planned out after this besides getting ready for the party.
"Let's do that." I grin at him as he close up his shop and lead the way to a restaurant. "Table for two." Takashi states to the host.
Once we were seated, Takashi and I finally talked. "How have you been?" He ask. "Last time I've seen you, you had your red hair. Why did you dye it black?" He questions after taking a sip of his water.
"I just wanted to try a new hair color out." I lie to him. He grins at me, "It's beautiful. Are you in contact with the Toman members?" He continues to ask. "Not really. Inupi is the only person Im in contact with." I answer.
He nods, "Oh our food is here." He mentions when he sees the waiter coming our way. Our waiter serves our food then disappear. Then we continue to chat our old days together.
My relationship with Toman, I am only close to Inupi and Mitsuya before Toman disbanded. I didn't know much about Toman.
I met Mitsuya at the park sometime when he takes his sisters there. Mitsuya and I grew a bond and he insist on introducing me to everyone and I only met them once.
As for Inupi, we met each other at the same program for Juvie. The crimes he did led him there and I was there because my father framed me for murdering my younger brother.
I was 17 when I went to Juvie. When investigators gathered more information on this case, they finally let me out after a year and tracked my father down. He was sent to jail for 9 years.
Just last year when I was 26, he got discharged. Now I'm hiding because I know he wouldn't let me live in peace. He assume I snitched on him that's why he was in jail for 9 years, but the truth is luck was somehow on my side when it happened.
Takeomi was the one who was there for me when I got discharged. That's when I realized I wanted to live my life the way I want to.
Small circle of friends, be cautious, and live in peace.
That was my goal.
But now my father is out finding me, I had to dye my red hair to black and change my identity. That's where Hanma will come in handy because the last time I talked to Takeomi about an identity change was when I was 23.
5 years passed and I don't know where he is. I'll ask Senju when I can.
