Secrets Revealed

230 - 231 - 232

(To be honest, the reason I've been gone for a while is because I fell into a depression episode and didn't want to write at all. This chapter was so hard to write but I've come to realize that sitting down and writing actually helps me forget how messed up my mind is right now. I hope my writing has brought you as much joy as it brought me.

Also, sorry if it's written weird, my laptop died and my new kittens chewed the charger wire so it doesn't work anymore. I'm writing this on my phone right now until I can afford to buy either a new charger or laptop. Enjoy!!)

     Tokyo Revengers: Get stuck-up

     The screen opened with a flashback, Takeomi smiling as he walked behind Shinichiro, holding the Black Dragon flag.

     'The legendary First-Generation Black Dragons once ruled the nation. As their Vice Captain...I was feared as 'Takeomi Akashi, the person whose command could decide the fate of an entire battle,' and was eventually called the 'God of War.' But...'

     The screen changed to show two young children playing on the monkey bars. "OH MY GOD, SHIN!! HOW CAN YOU STAND UP THERE LIKE THAT?!" A little boy yelled as he climbed up to the second boy, who was standing on the top bar. '...I wasn't cut out for something like that.' The young boy looked up at the other boy. 'I was a super ordinary kid. My studies and sports...were just average."

     "You guys had big heads." Baji laughed.

     "So did you!" Shinichiro said, jokingly glaring at the boy.

     "My big head was cute, unlike yours." Baji joked back.

     "Shut up." Shinichiro rolled his eyes.

     Takeomi leaned back in his seat, not knowing if he should be offended that no one seems to care that this was the beginning of his backstory.

     "Takeomi!" The other boy yelled as he stood at the top.

     'I was a normal, nothing-special kid.' Takeomi thought as the other kid smiled. 'On the other hand, my childhood friend Shinichiro Sano...was a special guy who people mysteriously flocked to.'

     "I can feel the winds of change!" Shinichiro closed his eyes as the wind blew his hair.

     'But, Shin never became tyrannical...' The screen changed to show Shinichiro holding Takeomi's ankles as they switched positions.

     "Here, when you do it like this, turn your feet slightly to the side." Shinichiro explained.

     "Hey, you're right! I'm standing!!" Takeomi was excited.

     "You felt the breeze, right?!"

     '...And was intensely kind.' Takeomi was heard as younger him looked back at younger Shinichiro. 'He was a crybaby who'd only pick fights with people stronger than himself and lose them all. He was called the 'Weakest King.' But...'

     "No wonder Mikey sees Takemitchy as Shinichiro." Draken smiled.

     "No wonder why everyone else does too." Mikey chuckled. Shinichiro smiled at the screen as he listened to his brother laugh.

     "Shinichiro must have meant so much to everyone." Akkun smiled as he watched the screen.

     "He really did." Senju tried not to cry as she forced herself to smile.
