The sky was gloomy just like the situation below on earth, in a deserted area people from gangs crowded the place making it feel stuffy from how much people there was. Takemichi looked at his chest in shock his body trembling from the pain surging through his body, arms wrapped around him as he fell backwards but before he could fully fall the person who hugged me laid me down in a panicked but extra careful way.

Looking at the person who saved him from more pain he smiled when he noticed it was his friend, his confident, and his partner, Chifuyu... He felt something stinging his eyes and he almost scoffed when he realized he was crying again. "Partner! Hold on okay? You wanted to save Mikey-san didn't you?" Chifuyu's voice was desperate and Takemichi was slightly moved because Chifuyu was never desperate unless it involved Banji.

But then again... Banji-san was dead now, he blinked as he stared at the gloomy sky in slight awe. Now that he thought about it, he never truly appreciated normal thing that are beautiful like going on a walk, simply eating my favorite food. He knows he was taking advantage of having time which was ironic because he out of anyone should know what having limited time feels like.

Banji-san... Emma-chan... Draken-kun... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't save your friend/brother. It seems my time on earth will be up soon... I have many regrets but I think my biggest regret was not appreciating life. He coughed blood out, the red like ink dripping down his lips as Chifuyu did his best to stop the bleeding from his chest. "Chifuyu... I-.. I'm sorry for not being able to save banji-san... I'm sorry for not trying harder" Takemichi's voice was but a whisper but Chifuyu although shaking heard it clearly.

"No...You don't have to be sorry Michi-kun, because I know that from the moment we met you were someone who gave it there all with everything you do, and the fact that you tried to even save someone you weren't close to at all is admirable." Chifuyu cried tears streaming down his glistening green eyes. Takemichi stared sadly at his best friend "I know you loved him romantically-" Takemichi tried to persist but Chifuyu didn't let him drown in his guilt "Loved him? I still love him, and Banji-san... He made his choice and I won't spit on it, I will respect it just like you should as well. It's no ones fault."

Takemichi felt like his burdens were lifted, Chifuyu had no idea how much his words made him feel. With his eyes dulling his eyesight practically gone he knew it was time, "Partner... Sob... Our journey together was eventful thank you for trusting me" Chifuyu smiled although Takemichi couldn't see it he knew it was warm... It always was. "I'm.. Grateful.. that we met.... Partner" Takemichi mumbled for the last time as he finally closed his eyes shut forever.

Chifuyu's fingers trembled as his hugged the now cold body of Takemichi, it was cold... He didn't like it. "Rest in peace Takemichi, you did wonderful" he shakingly whispered to the ravenette. People seeing what happened cried in fury and shock most charging at Mikey who's expression was dark with wide eyes.

Chifuyu face was blank as he stated with a monotone voice to Mikey "He's.Dead" Maybe because of the trauma Mikey put them through but he felt a sense of thrill surge through him at the sight of Mikey's destroyed face he looks absolutely defeated. Mikey was frozen as he took the hits from the other gangsters, Takemichi was dead? His Takemichi?? What... But he promised to stay.. With me...

"Why are you shocked!!" A gang member yelled angrily at the ashen blonde "Yeah! Your the one who cold heartedly stabbed a sword through his chest!" Other members began towering him but Mikey wasn't listening to them. His mind was in shambles before he finally found a fault 'oh... That's right; I forgot that he was a human.... I thought because of how insisted he was on living he would survive again just like every other time'

'I killed someone precious to me... Again.'

The Goddess shifted on her thrown as she fanned herself in a graceful slow but steady flow. The goddess stared woefully at the scene, her soul aches for her favorite human, one who was killed unjustly from his own friend too tightening her grip her nails clawed through her soft skin and blood dripped down from the open scratches she made. A drop floated near Takemichi's body and the blood turned into a jewel before entering the boys soul.

This cruel world after all tries to dirty someone with a pure soul like you. Humans are greedy and manipulative for bad reasons that is one of the reasons I hate them... But you my darling is an exception.

"I hope this time... you live your life to the fullest without worrying for others like you did here. I, the goddess of Time and Universes bless you, Takemichi Hanagki to a new timeline!" the goddess thought for a bit before smiling innocently "You shall also be a girl in this universe, hehe shall I see how many heart's you capture as a girl~"

'and please don't forget.. you are human too, take rest my darling soul'

And so the soul flew quickly into another body. The world tilted slightly but with a flick of the Goddesses wrist it tilted back to normal.
