Another chance Book I - Y/N

Chapter 52: I can't do this... .

!Warning: angst, blood, etc. ... !

You're opening your eyes and find yourself in the middle of a brawl. Many young boys clad in white and black jackets surround you while they punch each other bloody. The awful loud screaming and unfamiliar sounds around you make your ears ring.

You glance around, trying to regain yourself, and notice that you're in an abandoned car lot. The smell of rust and blood fills your lungs. You shake yourself and fix your eyes on the jackets surrounding you. Tokyo Manji Gang?! ...and Walhalla!

Suddenly the air changes and everyone is silent. The brawl stopped and everyone is standing still, seemingly frozen in place. Still, some unfamiliar sounds echo through your ear, making you wonder where they're from. You frown anxiously and carefully walk a few steps ahead. When you stop you see a bloodied Baji on the concrete, a pool of blood surrounding him. The smell of rust and blood intensifies, as do the noises.

Suddenly loud thuds are heard from your left, you turn around and see how Mikey punches Kazutora mercilessly. His aura completely different and his eyes completely empty.

Blood splatters everywhere and Kazutora is about to lose conscious. You now recognise that the unfamiliar sounds seemingly resonated from the punches. Mikey still punches him brutally until the scene blurs into something else.

You stand in a wide field, the smell of rust and blood still in your nose as you look around confused. Everything is silent. A few feet away stand a few blurry figures that have a bright smile on their faces. They wave at you happily. My family? And friends?

You shake yourself confused and find yourself once again in the abandoned car lot. This time right in front of Mikey.

He still punches Kazutora merciless. His aura completely different from the usual Mikey. It's so bloodthirsty. You watch him in horror and try to reach your hand out to him. Stop Mikey!

When your hand finally reaches him you get pulled backwards and find yourself drenched in sweat, laying in your bed.

Still completely in shock from the dream you make your way over to Mikey's room. You open the door carefully and find him laying on his bed, looking at the ceiling completely absorbed in thoughts.

He notices you when you close the door and sits up confused. "Yurei-chin? What's up?"

You walk up to him, your body tense, and put your hand firmly on his shoulder and lean towards him seriously, observing his face of any changes.

Mikey keeps silent and watches you confused.

You let out a heavy sigh and back away slightly, a serious expression on your face, you gaze down at him. "Mikey. Can you really kill someone?"

Mikey's eyes widen for a moment, confused at your sudden question. But after considering your direct approach he decides to be true and sincere with his answer. "Yes." His tone cold and without a hint of emotions.

You back away slightly and gaze at the floor tensely, an anxious feeling rising in your gut.

"Why are you asking me this?", Mikey asks curiously after a moment of silence. His gaze fixed on you as he sits straight on his bed.

"I had a dream... . Or more like, ...I was in a situation from the manga.", you stutter anxiously as you rub your arms. You glance up at him but can't hold his gaze. "I, uh. I was in a battlefield from a brawl. It was from the time where Baji got killed. I saw his dead body laying there full of blood. Ugh, I still remember that awful smell.", you mutter as you grimace for a moment. "It was as if I was there. It felt so real."
