In order to find Baji, all you and Mikey had to do was follow the sounds of punching and laughter. As the two of you rushed to help Baji, you saw him standing in front of Mikey's moped to protect it from the asshole who was trying to smash it. Only to take a full force hit to his left side.

"You piece of shit. Lay one hand on Mikey's precious ride and you're dead." Baji warned. You couldn't belive he'd do all that for the fucking moped the whole group hated. You and Mikey decided to split up.

"Hey there." You hear Mikey from behind.

"Ok Baji, come on, let's get you looked at." You smile as you lend him a hand to help him up. You don't think he's ever been so happy to see you.

Mikey mumbled something about forgetting his trunks as the morons turned to look at him and blab about a new victim and what not.

"And there goes the moped." You sigh as Mikey kicks over the thing Baji just protected with his life. The sound of gasps could be heard in the background, including Baji himself.

"You assholes." Mikey muttered. "You'll pay. For wrecking something so near and dear to me." This statement earned even more gasps from the crowd, and a laugh from you. One of the morons tried to protest and explain that Mikey was the one who kicked it over, earning him a kick square to his jaw, knocking him to the ground.

"Y/N? You got Baji? Is he ok?" You hear Mikey ask after sending the guy flying.

"Yeah from what I can tell he's fine. I'll have to keep an eye on his side, but other than that he's fine. Not even a concussion." You beam at the two.

"Baji, you ended up getting hurt over such a dumb thing. I'm sorry." Mikey apologized.

"It's alright Mikey." Was Baji's reply.

"If you're ok, then let's finish this off." Mikey says.

"Nope sorry. He's sitting this one out. But I'll sub for him if that works." You ask with a wink.

"Hey this is my fight!" You hear Baji whine.

"Not with that possible internal bleeding!" You shout back. "Besides, I count for more than a sub for you on your best days and my worst." You laugh, causing the two boys to laugh too.

"Ow, fuck it hurts to laugh." You hear Baji say.

"Tell me if the bruise gets darker quicker than it should ok?" You reassure him.

It only takes about 2 minutes for you and Mikey to lay the guys out, which was full of the word bitch being thrown around. But they were all talk and no fight, it was kind of sad.

"Baji, had I known they were this weak, I would have let you fight." You laugh.

"Yeah that was a lot less fun than I thought it would be." Mikey whined. "How did these guys beat you Baji?" You hear Mikey ask.

"He was trying to protect your stupid moped, which you decided to kick over." You answer for Baji. You figured today had been long enough for him. The three of you decided to get the gas then head back to the beach and enjoy the rest of your afternoon.

________________________________________________________________

It wasn't until later that summer that everything changed.

That night, you had the worst feeling in the pit of your stomach. Mikey's birthday was coming up, and you knew his brother wanted to get the bike ready by then, but you didn't think it would happen. Something that night possessed you to go back to the shop, even after it had closed. You felt that something terrible was going to happen but you had no clue what. You had another reason for going though, you wanted to ask Shinichiro what a good gift for Mikey would be.

You knew Mikey and Shinichiro and Emma for nearly your whole life, they all became your best friends, and only friends until Toman. You couldn't repay them for what they meant to you, especially Mikey, but you could at least try. With these thoughts in your head, you decided to walk to the shop Shinichiro owned. No one but you and Mikey's family knew about it. You can't help but think that if they knew... maybe things would have ended differently.

Just as you made your way to the shop, where you knew Shinichiro would be, you noticed that the fence was cut. The pit of your stomach fell even further. Something was very wrong. You rushed to help Shinichiro, hoping it wasn't too late, but you just were not fast enough.

As you ran into the room, you were greeted with the sight of Kazutora hitting Shinichiro in the head with a pair of wire cutters while Baji screamed at him to stop. It was like slow motion as Shinichiro's body hit the floor.

"What have you done? That was Mikey's older brother Shinichiro!" Baji screamed as Kazutora's arms fell, along with the wire cutters, and the tears on your face.

"Y-y/N?" You hear Baji whimper out, unsure of what to do next. Causing Kazutora to spin around so fast he almost fell.

"Y/N, it's not what it looks like, I-i didn't mean to... I didn't kill him. I was doing it for Mikey. it's all Mikey's fault!" Kazutora stutters out, working out his logic with every sentence. You just stood there for a minute with tears rolling down your face before you mustered the courage to talk. The whole time Kazutora was repeating, "It's all his fault."

"No Kazutora, it wasn't. It was my fault." Was all you could say, making them to look at you with confused faces.

"Did you do this because of the bike? He was going to give it to Mikey after his birthday. I should have told you. I should have gotten here faster. I should have..." You sink to the ground sobbing. There were so many things you could have done to save him, but you didn't. You didn't do any of them. It was all your fault. Baji tried to comfort you, but his words fell on deaf ears. There was nothing he could say or do that would change anything. Then you heard the sirens.

You got up, tears still streaming down your face, and walked over to Kazutora who was in a trance-like state, only repeating "it's his fault." and "Must kill Mikey." over and over and over again. You just hugged him, it was all that you could think to do, while Baji just watched. Then the cops and paramedics came in. It was obvious that Shinichiro was dead as soon as his body hit the ground, you never even bothered to check. The officers were baffled at the scene they walked into, but Baji explained everything, then the cops drug Kazutora away in cuffs. Leaving you standing there with your tear stained face. Eventually, Baji grabbed you by your arm and pulled you out of the shop, where Mikey was standing, asking Baji frantically what had happened. You couldn't stand to look at Mikey, you just trained your eyes on the ground, with tears still rolling down your face, you stayed that way all night. At some point Mikey had dragged you all the way home, but you didn't notice when.
