♡Chapter-15♡

Your point of view.

Relief spread across Takemichi's face as he stood frozen in awe. A faint smile tugged at his lips. "They're here..We're saved."

"Who want's to die?"

"Peh, I'm killing you first!"

I couldn't help the grin tugging at my lips as I surveyed the scene, the once-loud Moebius members now silent, their earlier bravado nowhere to be seen.

That bastard's awfully quiet now, isn't he?

"Y/n-chin!"

My head snapped toward Mikey at the sound of his voice. He stood a few feet ahead, rain soaking his hair and clothes as he kept his back to me. Even with his casual posture, the tension radiating from him was palpable.

"I want you to leave this place right now with Emma." He spoke, glancing over his shoulder to meet my eyes. His usual grin was in place, but his tone carried an edge of seriousness. "It's about to get real bloody in here."

His words made my eyes widen, and I instinctively turned to Emma. She was stiff, her unease clear as she avoided the lingering stares of the surrounding men.

Right.. Emma's still here.

I exhaled slowly, reaching out to grab her hand firmly. "Let's go." I said without hesitation, tugging her along as I made my way toward the exit. I need to get her somewhere safe first.

"Y/n-san! Emma-chan!"

We skidded to a halt as a familiar voice called out. Turning toward the source, I saw Hina running toward us, her expression frantic.

"Hina-chan!" Emma exclaimed.

"What's going on?!" Hina demanded breathlessly, her gaze darting between the two of us. "Takemichi-kun ran off earlier without saying anything! I've been looking for him everywhere!"

I frowned, my grip tightening on Emma's hand. "A fight. Toman's in the middle of a gang conflict with Moebius."

Hina's eyes widened in shock. "What?! So that's why he-" She cut herself off, biting her lip nervously.

"Hear me out." I said, my tone firm as I stepped closer. Both Emma and Hina turned their attention to me. "You need to stay far away from the parking lot. Find somewhere safe and wait there until this is over."

"What about you?!" Emma interrupted, her voice rising in distress. "Are you planning to go back in there?"

"Yes." I replied bluntly, already taking a step back. "And don't worry. I won't interfere.. probably."

"Y/n-san!"

Ignoring their calls, I spun on my heel and sprinted back toward the shrine. The rain pelted against my skin as I ran, determination coursing through my veins.

There's no way I'm just going to stand by and watch.

The chaos was already in full swing when I returned. The sounds of fists meeting flesh, shouts, and groans echoed across the lot, but I pushed through the crowd, dodging bodies as they fell to the ground.

My eyes scanned the area frantically, searching for a particular someone amidst the chaos. "Where is he?" I muttered under my breath.

A man suddenly collapsed at my feet, his face swollen and bloodied. I stepped back instinctively, locking eyes with his opponent, a familiar face with blue hair.

Didn't I meet him at the meeting?

"Uh... Hi."  I greeted awkwardly, raising a hand in a small wave. He froze, his eyes widening in recognition."Bye!" I said hastily, turning on my heel and continuing my search.
