In Another Life (Tokyo Revengers: Chifuyu's fanfic)

Part 20: Injuries

In the heat of the intense brawl, everyone was fighting with a desperate determination to survive. As the chaos unfolded, you began to accumulate bruises, but surprisingly, you weren't as badly injured thanks to the protective shield of the Toman boys around you.

Throwing punches and kicks in all directions, your goal was not just to survive but to hold your ground against the formidable Tenjiku gang. In the midst of the skirmish, you suddenly felt a sharp tug on your hair from behind. Reacting instinctively, you countered by elbowing backward, aiming precisely at your assailant's lower body, hitting them squarely in the groin. The immediate effect was clear as they released their grip with a pained gasp.

From that moment on, you realized the effectiveness of this unexpected technique. As the fight continued, you strategically targeted the vulnerable area of their anatomy, aiming for their groin whenever the opportunity presented itself. Though unconventional and perhaps considered by some as cheating, it became a crucial tactic that helped turn the tide in your favor amidst the chaotic struggle.

As the relentless Tenjiku members continued their assault, the unexpected appearance of Kisaki among them sent a chill through the chaotic scene. Kisaki, once a member of Toman before being ousted, had now aligned himself with Tenjiku, revealing his true allegiance in a shocking twist.

Just as you prepared to confront Kisaki and assert your authority, Hanma, known for his brute strength and unconventional tactics, stormed into the fray on a motorcycle. His arrival was swift and disruptive, swiftly grabbing Kisaki and whisking him away from the escalating confrontation. With Kisaki evacuated, the Tenjiku members refocused their aggression on you and the remaining Toman fighters.

Amidst the tension and anticipation of the next move, a new challenger suddenly emerged. The crowd parted to make way for this mysterious figure, whose arrival added another layer of uncertainty to the already volatile situation.

Mochi's sudden appearance, towering and formidable like Taiju, struck a chord of fear and urgency among those present. As he dragged the unconscious Chifuyu with him, your heart sank at the sight of your fellow Toman member in such a vulnerable state.

Mochi's booming voice cut through the chaos, questioning the strength and resilience of Toman in the face of adversity. His disdainful words stung, implying that he sought someone stronger than the fallen Chifuyu. With a forceful motion, Mochi threw Chifuyu towards your group, the limp figure hurtling through the air.

In that critical moment, instinct and loyalty surged within you. Without a second thought, you positioned yourself to catch Chifuyu, driven by a deep-seated desire to protect your comrade from further harm.

Despite the jarring impact of Chifuyu crashing into you, causing both physical pain and bruises, your primary concern was ensuring his safety. As you absorbed the weight of his unconscious body, you felt the strain and discomfort, yet your determination to shield him from harm overshadowed any personal discomfort.

Lying on the ground, with Chifuyu now cradled in your lap, you instinctively pulled him close, wrapping your arms around him in a protective embrace. The intensity of the moment was marked by a mix of pain from the impact and a profound sense of satisfaction that you had managed to shield him from further danger, even if only temporarily.

With Mochi's departure and the immediate threat subsiding for the moment, the remaining Toman members gathered around you and Chifuyu, forming a protective circle despite their own injuries and exhaustion. Despite their complaints about the idea of retreating, their loyalty and solidarity shone through as they remained steadfast in guarding you both.

You couldn't help but admire their resilience and determination. Despite being more visibly injured than you, they stood tall, their resolve unshaken even in the face of danger. Their willingness to stay and protect their own was a testament to the strong bonds that bound Toman together as a family.
