My promise (MikeyxOc)

14 : 2005

We were running through alleyways at breakneck speed to escape the police.

-Aaah! Fucking hell! Peyan exclaimed, letting go of me. Why did it all go to hell?

No one answered him, we were all still in shock at what had just happened.

-Pachin", I muttered.

We'd had quite a few differences recently, but he was still a dear friend.

Suddenly we heard the sound of a body falling onto the concrete of the alleyway.

Mikey turned round in astonishment.

-Takemichou! he shouted.

I looked in horror at my little brother passed out on the pavement.

I came back to him and shook him.

-Michi! Wake up!

-We haven't got time, Reina! Draken exclaimed, grabbing my arm (three times in one day, after all!).

I jerked my wrist free.

-You're talking rubbish! He's my brother, I'm staying!

-I'll call Emma to take him to hospital," said the vice-president. Now come on, we can't stay here any longer!

-I can't do this! I protested.

-But... Said Mikey.

-Listen," I said. Neither me nor Takemichi are wearing a Toman uniform. The cops can't do anything.

I looked at the head of the Toman.

-Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me." I smiled. We'll talk later, OK?

-I'll just...

-Come on Mikey, let's go! Draken said as he started running again.

Then he glanced at me:

-You'd better be OK, Rei.

-I promise! But I don't mind if you call Emma for backup.

He nodded and disappeared into the distance with Mikey and Peyan.

I sighed and took out my phone.

I dialled the emergency number.

-Hello? Hi, my little brother's passed out in the middle of an alley.

---------------------------------------------------------

-Reina! What's happened?!? Draken called me but he didn't explain anything! Emma exclaimed as she came running.

-The Moebius gang attacked us during a small committee meeting. Then Pachin stabbed the gang leader and the police arrived. As he fled, Takemichi fainted from the many blows he took," I summarised.

Emma shook her head in shock.

-Did you call an ambulance? she asked, kneeling down beside me.

-Yes, it should be here soon," I replied.

I got to my feet.

-I'm sorry to ask you this, but would you mind helping me carry him over there," I said, pointing to a nearby bench.

-I'll do it!

After about fifteen minutes of effort, we managed to get him onto the bench.

Emma and I dropped to the floor, exhausted. He was so heavy!

-Do you know where Mikey and Draken are? I asked her.

She shook her head.

-She shook her head. Draken just pointed to a street and told me to get there as soon as possible. No more, no less.

-I see.

Suddenly the ambulance siren sounded loudly in the narrow alleyway, making us jump to our feet.

-Right here! I shouted.

Some firemen came to take Takemichi into the ambulance.

-Excuse me," said one of the firemen. Who called?

-I said, raising my hand.

-Are you...?

-His sister. I'm his sister.

He turned to Emma.

-And who are you?

My friend, who'd been following the exchange in silence until now, was startled.

-I'm a friend.

-Alright. Do you want to get in the ambulance?

Emma and I looked at each other.

-We don't see why not.

---------------------------------------------------------

We'd been at the hospital for a while. Takemichi was asleep in a bed and Emma had gone to phone Mikey and Draken.

As for me, I was dozing.

Suddenly Takemichi woke up and stretched, making me jump.

One of his hands touched Emma's breast.

-Hands off! Emma exclaimed, irritated.

-EMMA! I DIDN'T MEAN TO, I SWEAR!

-Oh, Emma! When did you get back? I wondered.

-Reina! You were here?! A hospital?

-You fainted while we were running, I explained. So I called an ambulance and Emma joined me.

I turned to her.

-By the way, what's the news?

Emma's anger subsided and she started to cry, surprising me and my brother.

-There's been a clash between Mikey and Draken.

-What are you talking about? I exclaimed, frowning. What's all this about?

-A... About what? Takemichi wanted to know.

-I don't know," cried Emma. But things got out of hand and the Tokyo Manjikai split between pro-Mikey and pro-Draken. Everyone was arguing about Pachin's statement.

I jumped to my feet in anger.

-But this is crazy! I'm going away for a day! I'm away for a day! And they find a way to ruin the Toman. I can't believe it!

Emma cried harder and fell into Takemichi's lap.

-Don't cry, Emma! my brother tried to console her.

-Do you think Draken's all right? I don't understand anything...

-He's responsible too. What's happening to him is partly his fault," I mumbled.

How can you keep calm when you're surrounded by idiots like that!

It was at this wonderful moment that Hinata chose to enter Takemichi's hospital room.
