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.
