After going back to Japan, Eiji can't stop thinking about how he and Ash parted ways. From the moment he was back home, he had wanted to go back to America to find Ash. Once he recovered, he got on a flight back to America, but when no one came to pick him up, he knew something wasn't right. In his search for Ash, he realizes that no one is here to help him this time, and he must change in order to find his best friend. He must become stronger...for Ash! (This takes place after season 1 of Banana Fish.) P.S. In this fanfic, everything that is going to happen will be progressive off of season 1 of Banana Fish.

Everything is now over and everything will be back to normal. That should go for all who suffered the long time of war and pain, wins and losses, gains and loses. But Eiji is an exception. It's now time to return to his homeland, Japan. He feels a void in his heart as he boards the plane and he knows very well what can fill that void. It's that person he shared all his pains with. The only person he can't bear to lose, the only person he desires to see before he leaves. But he can't turn back now. He's made up his mind and he knows what he's doing is for the best. "Eiji." A voice rings in his ears. He knows that voice. He knows who called him and he listens to it. "I'm sorry Ibe-san but I'm going down." He doesn't want to leave and regret this for the rest of his life. He needs to see Ash right now. He needs to be with him. So he makes a decision and takes the risk. But, did he make the right choice? Or did he make a choice that will make him want to reset time and wish he never went off the plane?
