Second Chances Are For Winners - Part 2

Pairing: Fem!Reader x Spencer Reid

WC: 2k

TW: Swearing, mentions of blood, mentions of kidnapping, imprisonment, Criminal Minds General list of triggers apply here.

A/N: Howdy babes! I'm back in action (and in therapy!) so the will to write is stronger than ever. I am so excited that this is becoming a mini series since I loved the whole premise I had come up with last year. Pls enjoy part 2!

Part One

Last Week

“We have a White Male in his late thirties, breaking and entering into single women’s homes.” Hotch started, he put his hands in his pockets and continued talking. “ We know he used to be homeless, or transient, because of the manner in which he is gaining access to home.”

 Derek took over. “Pickpocketing. He snags the women’s keys, makes a copy for himself, and then breaks into their houses, condos, apartments.” 

Emily gestured to the board in the front of the room. There were several images, along with a map in front of the officers. “We know this because he leaves the set of keys on the kitchen table, along with the polaroid of the woman he’s kidnapped.” 

Derek spoke up. “He’s targeting women in their late twenties, with high paying jobs. We assume this is due to some kind of grievance where he believes he was wronged, and left him feeling powerless.” 

Hotch nodded at Derek. “Think promotions of jobs, priorities, breakups, divorces—something that would make this man feel as if he is no longer fulfilling the role of the head of the household.” 

 Derek leaned against the desk. “He takes his time with them. We know this because there’s been a body a week for the past three. We are assuming that he has a new victim considering the newest body was found yesterday. And we know that he picks up a body on Monday nights, and dumps them early Friday Mornings.”

“Look through reports from tonight and this morning about anyone missing. Even if it’s just a concerned call about someone not showing up to work, we need to know about it.” Emily held her hands in front of her as she spoke to the group. She gave a brief smile to the officers looking up at her. “Thank you.” 

As the room started to clear out, Derek looked over at Spencer, who was just staring at the board, deep in thought. “Earth to Reid. Hey.” 

Reid snapped out of whatever depths of his mind he was in, and looked up at Morgan. “Sorry, sorry. What.” 

“What? That’s it? Reid you just blanked out of that entire session. What is goin’ on with you man?” 

Spencer shook his head. “Sorry I-I, I’m not really…Sorry. It’s just..”

“Just what.” 

Emily nudged Derek with her elbow. “Be nice.” 

Derek rolled his eyes, and trudged away. 

“I know he didn’t mean anything by it, but I can’t stop thinking about the security cameras. How has he not been seen, anywhere. L-Like, for example, when he goes and makes the copies of the keys, all of the locksmiths in town have cameras everywhere because of safety reasons, right? And-and-and, even if he didn’t go there, and went to a Walmart outside of the city, or something, they all absolutely have cameras that work. So how has this guy not been seen by anyone?” 

Emily nodded while Spencer continued to rant. “And I can’t quite figure out how—” Spencer pushed out of his chair by the window and went up to the board. 

Across the center of one of the whiteboards was a timeline.. 

“It’s such a specific timeline—A-As if he can only operate on those certain days, like he’s limited to Mondays and Fridays, because part of his week is blocked off.”

“Or.” Emily chimed in, following his train of thought. “Something triggers him every weekend, like he sees her…whoever she is, every weekend. Maybe he works in a restaurant, or something.” 

“But why would she go into a restaurant where she knows he is?” 

“To taunt him?” Derek pipes up. “Bring a new man in, once a week, on a first date. Show him how much better she’s doing?” 

“And risk her safety? I don’t think so.” Emily scoffed and turned back to the board. 

Headaches have always been your least favorite part of waking up from being knocked out by chloroform. You had never been knocked out via towel and drug before, but whenever you would watch your favorite crime-related shows, you would think about how god awful that headache must be when you wake up. 

And you were right. It was a fucking bitch. 

Your vision had spots dancing across it as you let out a groan from being conscious for the first time in god knows how long. You were still in your pajamas and weren’t shivering, which meant that wherever you were, was warm enough to keep you alive. 

You tried to move your hands but found that that was over your head, chained to the wall. The chain connecting both of your wrists was pegged into the wall like you were in some old castle during the Medieval Ages. If you weren’t dying of thirst and hunger, you would have found the situation almost comical. 

Once you got used to the complete lack of sunlight, you were able to make out the rest of the room, which was decorated with splatter across the walls and floor. It was obviously not a choice in decor, and more of a mess someone wasn’t willing to clean up. There was an outline of what seemed like bars at the far end of the room, directly across from a small wooden staircase that had been built up against the wall. 

It was a cell. 

You had been stuck in a cell like one of those prisoners in Pirates of the Caribbean, and it was not as silly and fun as Disney World had made it out to be. 

You went to speak, with only a sharp intake of air, and only a cough could come out. Luckily for you, the cough had alerted whoever was upstairs that you were awake, meaning that the silhouette of a man appeared at the top of the stairs when the door opened. 

You were just hop[ping this was one of those stupid melatonin induced dreams where something bad would happen but then you would wake up and suddenly you were safe in bed. As the man’s footsteps echoed louder and louder as they trudged down the stairs, you realized you couldn’t wake up. 

“You’re up. Good.” 

Your back pressed against the wall as you recognized the voice from the man standing at the bars of the cell. 

“What. Y/n hasn’t texted you today?” JJ  elbowed Reid lightly as the two of them were sitting next to each other in the bullpen. 

Reid blinked and looked up at her. “How did you…” 

“You’ve been reading the same page for fifteen minutes. Either you’re really trying to analyze…something, or you haven’t actually read the page and something was bugging you.”

Spencer scoffed but put the file down. 

JJ gave his shoulder a little squeeze. She was about to say something when Garcia walked into the room, eyes wide, carrying a file. “New—we have to…” 

That was all the two agents could pick out of her sentences before Garcia was in Hotch’s office. 

“No rest for the wicked.” Emily called out to the two of them as all three made their way towards the meeting room. 

Eventually the team had all gathered in the conference room and Garcia was setting up the screen. 

“There’s been another body.”

The team sighed and nodded. This killer in DC has been evading them for a whole month now, that they knew of. It was becoming increasingly frustrating since the killer wasn’t rushing, wasn’t speeding up. They were still as meticulous as before. And right on schedule, a new body was discovered. Same markings as before, handcuffs on the wrists, and a quite gruesome death. 

“Still no fingerprints?”  

Garcia sighed and nodded. “Nothing.”

“I just don’t get how someone can be so meticulous, and stick to a schedule, and then….do something like that to a person.”

Spencer sighed and looked at the map Garcia had updated for him. “At least we have a slight geological profile. He’s picking houses all over DC, but then dumping the bodies in West End and Kalorama.”

Spencer pointed to the map. “He’s literally forming a route. Look. The bodies are placed almost like a trail. This newest body just connects the rest.” 

“He’s gearing up to someone. And whoever it is probably lives and works….” Spencer looked over at Garcia. 

Garcia’s eyes widened. “Oh. Oh no. No no no no.” 

“What?” Emily looked between the two before looking over at Derek. 

“Spit it out baby girl, what’s going on.” 

“Uh…Y/n’s firm is in the West End, and she lives like a ten minute walk away in Kalorama…” She whispered. 

The whole team shifted their gaze to Spencer, who was frantically looking at all of the information over and over on the board, trying to find anything. 

“Just because she hasn’t texted you doesn;’t mean that she is the next victim of our killer guys, I mean come on. What are the odds of that.” Derek tried to talk Spencer out of whatever he had just induced for himself. 

Spencer shook his head and turned towards the team. “Who always has a strict schedule that they have to follow, even if it’s against their wishes. Court-mandated.” 

Derek was stunned into silence at the fact that Reid didn’t even bother giving him a pity statistic. 

Hotch spoke up. “She’s a lawyer right?” 

Spencer nodded. The team was not following where they were going with this. 

“Have any of her clients, or opposing councils given her grief recently? That you know of?” 

Spencer was about to shake his head but then remembered what you had told him last night. “S-She has this, uh, client, that doesn’t like the schedule he was ordered to by the court. And hasn’t left her alone now...for weeks…blowing up her phone…she told me about him last night, complaining that he hasn’t stopped calling her work phone and somehow even got her personal number…” 

“So you talked to her last night.” Derek crossed his arms. 

“She texted me saying she made it home b-because she fell asleep at her office and walked home…at two in the morning...” 

Hotch nodded and stood up. “We’re going to head down to the main station, and bring all new information with us. Clear?”

“I already sent it over to them electronically sir.” Garcia piped up. 

Hotch nodded. Everyone exited the room, but Hotch and Reid stayed back. When the last person had left, Hotch closed the door and looked at Reid. 

“I’m not going to tell you to sit this out. I know you, and I’d rather have you focused on the task at hand with us than trying to do your own investigating.You have emotional stakes in this Reid. And you know how that clouds judgment. Every single decision you make, you run by me. Clear?” 

Reid set his jaw and exhaled, but agreed to Hotch’s request. There would be more room for arguing when you were found safe and sound. 

Reid’s silence continued throughout the next twenty minutes and then in the car on the way to the station as well. Every single one of the agents could tell this case was going to be a lot more painful than initially believed. 

And Spencer was freaking the fuck out. All he could do was sit and stare out the window as the building passed, a sinking feeling in his gut that wherever you were, it wasn’t pretty. He just didn’t understand how he failed to miss the literal trail of bodies the killer had been leaving for you. Literal warning signs in front of you. And he let you walk home alone last night. 

It was his fault. He should have known better. 

Spencer had just found you again—he couldn’t stand to lose you a second time.

Chapter 7 : Preperation

-ˋˏ ❀ * ‧₊˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊ . *₊°❀ ˎˊ-

The whispers of Toman members dispurse out into the open air of the well-known Miyamushi shrine. They were all waiting on one thing, for their leader to appear. As the footsteps of the legendary Manjiro Sano were heard, every single one of them went silent.

He stopped at the edge of the shrine platform and sat down.

(copying and pasting straight from the anime here)

"The pre-battle meeting for our fight against Valhalla will now begin!"

The voice of the vice-president of Toman was heard echoing throughout the shrine.

"Thank you all for gathering here today, we're going to clash with Valhalla tomorrow. They're the ones who started this fight, we have nothing to gain. Plus, Baji has sided with the enemy. We don't go easy on traitors, that's Toman's policy," Mikey paused for a moment before asking a question. "But can I....be a kid for awhile?"

The crowd expressed words of confusion at their leader's sentence.

"I don't wanna fight my friend."

Loud "Huh??!"s and "What???"s were heard in the crowd. But the remaining founding members of toman only seemed to chuckle.

"That is my answer! So everyone, please lend me your strength! Tomorrow we will crush Valhalla and bring Baji back!"

The crowd erupted with cheers from their leader's powerful speech. Safe to say that Toman was now successfully motivated now.

In a corner tucked away, was Rose in her usual disguise. She felt impressed but intimidated at the same time. How could one person's speech get over 100 teenagers to risk their lives fighting for a cause not even related to them? The power of his pure charisma was truly terrifying, so great that it had even managed to give Rose motivation to fight-something she hasn't felt for a while now.

"Thank you everyone for coming to this meeting!"

Rounds of applause could be heard from a mile away. After that motivating speech, all members of Toman left with determined spirits.

Despite the wonderful speech her lewder gave, Sachiko was yet to be satisfied. She had to know more. Thus, she did the most logical thing she could, quench her thirst for truth by staying up late.

"C'mon how is there no information on Valhalla?"

Sachiko slaved away at her computer, trying to find information on Valhalla. One problem, it seems as though it doesn't even exist. Suddenly, a news headline caught her attention.

「BREAKING NEWS : A 12 YEAR OLD BOY KILLED A MOTORCYCLE SHOP OWNER」

*It wouldn't hurt to go off track for a little bit I guess*

The girl thinks to herself. Unbeknownst to her, that newspaper contained everything she needed to know about the gang she was so desperate to know more about.

「 Kazutora Haneyima and Baji Keisuke were both found at the murder scene of Shinichiro Sano, both of them claiming to have killed him. However, these cold hearted killers were just 12 years old. The murder weapon was a wire cutter which was swung at the back of the victim's head.

The police suspected the 2 boys were trying to steal a motorcycle from the shop, but not before the owner had found them. In a panic, they killed him. 」

"Shinichiro Sano? Baji Keisuke?"

After researching and researching, Sachiko had finally found her answer. But who is this Kazutora Hanemiya? Was he the one who founded Valhalla? Finally, she thought back to Manjiro's speech : "Baji sided with the enemy.." "...dont wanna fight my friend..." "...bring Baji back!"

All the gears in her head began to turn, and Sachiko finally solved it. There were still many mysteries about the situation but she felt satisfied enough to leave it be. She looked at the time, 2:37 p.m. Letting out a sigh of relief, she embraced her exhaustion and dived into her bed, getting the rest she needs to prepare for the fight tomorrow.

Omg the next chapter is very long but had a lot of plot, fight scenes and Baji didn't die<3

Chapter 6 : A Fateful Encounter

-ˋˏ ❀* ‧₊˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊*. *₊°❀ ˎˊ-

Sneaking from bush to bush, from corner to corner, Rose was successfully tailing the leader of Toman. As she thought about how great she was at stalking people, Mikey took off. Realising he probably noticed her, she sighed in defeat.

"Maybe this wasn't a good idea," She mumbled to herself.

"What wasn't a good idea?"

The sudden voice of a stranger startled Rose, she turned around quickly and put her hands up in a defensive position, preparing to punch whoever it was behind her. But the leader of Toman was faster, he pinned both her hands above her head, rendering her defenseless.

"Let me rephrase it, why did you think following me was a good idea to begin with?" The boy asked in a playful voice, as if mocking Rose for her absurd actions. Though, she clearly didn't notice the tone in which he had because she was squirming like a maniac, trying to escape from his grasp, but it was no use. Accepting she couldn't wiggle her way out of this one, Rose flipped her hood back, revealing her signature pair of purple eyes.

"I'm the u-uhm..." Rose felt herself cringe at the name she was given. Hesitantly, she answered "Rose of Tokyo..."

The blond boy seemed to be surprised by the sudden mention of such a famous delinquent. He let go of her and took a step back.

"I'm sorry I didn't think you were...her." He hesitantly says that last part, silently telling Rose he felt the same way about her name.

"Just call me Rose, I didn't decide on the name, I know it's cringy."

The both of them awkwardly smiled at the comment.

"You still haven't answered my question."

"Ah, about that," Rose cleared her throat to ensure no voice cracks could sneak up on her during her conversation with the "Invincible Mikey".

"I was hoping to join your gang."

"Oh?" Mikey looked almost confused for a moment, then, he continued, "I hope you realise there aren't any girls in Toman."

"I'm aware," Rose cocks an eyebrow to emphasise the next words, "And what's the problem? You don't want girls joining your gang?"

"No, I only-" Mikey swiftly tries to defend himself.

"or is it because you think girls are weak?" Rose said confusing the boy with the new debate tactic she had recently read about.

"NO, it's just-" It proved to be effective, sending Mikey into panic.

For once, the leader was stuttering, trying to figure out how he wants this interaction to go. Of course, all of this was planned by Rose, hoping she could bend his will far enough to consider allowing a girl to join Toman.

Mikey took a moment to compose himself before continuing with a question. "Why do you wanna join?"

Rose decided her best action was to reveal her mission, to hide her identity. "I was sent to keep an eye on someone in your gang to make sure he doesn't get hurt."

"Who?"

"Sorry, can't tell."

The distrust and hesistance in his eyes were very apparent, so Rose racked her brain for a few moments and proposed a deal.

"Alright, I'll make you an offer: if I can defeat you in a fight, then you let me join ; If I can't, then we'll part ways as allies."

Testing his state of power, Mikey asked her. "And if I don't accept the deal?"

"Then we're gonna have some problems, Manjiro Sano." She threatened him, with venom laced in her voice.

Rose made eye contact with the gang leader, hoping she could seal the deal; Mikey seemed deep in thought.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke up,"I swore to never put my hands on a girl."

"Can't you make an exception? Come on, just this once?"

He seemed as if he was in thought for awhile before saying, "Alright, let's do our best then."

Rose smirked at him giving off a confident persona, but in reality she was going through the 5 stages of grief on the inside.

"Very well, first one to surrender loses."

Mikey hummed in agreement and they both head to an abondoned parking lot nearby to start their fight.

"Ready?"

"Mhm."

They both look up, establishing eye contact.

"3,"

"2,"

"1. "

"1."

As soon as the countdown ended, Mikey delivered his signature kick, but Rose easily dodged it by diving into a spilt onto the ground. Then, she kicks her right foot and trips his remaining leg on the ground. Despite being caught off guard, the leader of Toman reacts at lightning speed and does a side flip to get back on his feet, so does his opponent.

Rose goes right back to attacking him with punches and kicks. Although the martial arts prodigy was disoriented, he did a good job blocking her attacks. Then, he caught her off guard by grabbing the girl's left wrist mid-attack and tripping her feet. The latter falls down and hits her head. Mikey stood above her, raising his heel and bringing it down swiftly. Not wasting even a second, Rose dodged and got a hold of his left foot. He lost his balance and fell. The girl quickly jumped up and took several steps back.

Taking a look around her surroundings, Rose thinks about what she can do, then an idea popped into her mind. She smirks and runs up to attack Mikey with a punch, he blocks it and tries to attack back, but fails to notice Rose's strategy just yet. She side-jumps off the nearby wall, granting her just enough momentum to spin around and wrap her left leg around the boy's neck, performing a rear triangle chokehold. He loses his balance due to Rose's momentum. But she forgot one thing, Manjiro still could move his legs.

Without hesitation, Mikey kicks straight up. That left the girl with no choice but to release him to escape the hit. She backs up to get some distance while her opponent is trying to catch his breath. Rose leaves him with no less than a second before confronting him again, this time, she sprints straight to him. The boy was expecting a front attack so he quickly prepares himself to block a front attack.

Rose smiles to herself and uses her momentum to swing behind the boy and holds his arms behind his back, making him fall to the ground once again. After that, she locks her legs with his and successfully traps him. He struggles the best he can but once he realised that she used the unbeatable hold on him.

"I s-surrender."

Rose immediately releases him. They both take a few moments to calm down from that intense fight. Well, at least Rose did(she was the one jumping around).

"Are you alright? I didn't go overboard, did I?"

Mikey doesn't reply he just stared at her in absolute awe.

"That was amazing!"

"Thank you, I've been learning karate ever since I was 6."

"How do you know to how to fight so well? Your experience and technique can't be taught just anywhere, y'know?"

"No idea, i guess I just picked them up from friends?"

<sure..."friends">

Rose put her hand out, silently hinting for Mikey to get up off the ground. He takes her hand and winces at the pain in his arm. She notices the microscopic reaction from the boy and checks his arm for any injuries.

"Manjiro, there's blood," His name sounded sweet when it came from her lips. "It's just a scratch I'm fine,"

Rose ignored his excuses and took out a bandage from her pocket to wrap his arm up.

"I usually don't hurt my opponents this bad, I'm sorry." She apologised with a worried tone, shocked by the damage she caused despite already holding back. Rose reached for his hand but Mikey swats it away.

"How do you win fights if you don't hurt your opponents?"

Once again, Rose attempts to get a hold of his hand but her attempts were in vain as Mikey was very persistant on avoiding her help.

"Tell me and I'll let you bandage me up."

With a sigh, Rose defeatedly explains.

"I guess i just study my opponent's fighting style and predict their moves, using that, I find a way to take them out. In your case, i know you are trained in karate, judo and jujutsu. With that info, i deducted some moves I knew you would use since those 3 martial arts have quite a lot in common. Plus, judging by your personality, you probably wouldn't try anything too risky or rough since I'm a girl," Rose realises her explanation was too detailed and tries to lighten up the mood with a joke. "Or best case scenario, my opponent doesn't know how to fight."

Mikey snorts at the outrageous statement.

"Will you let me wrap your arm up now?" Rose asked, reaching out for his hand.

"no." the boy refused, not keeping up his part of their deal.

"What?! You said you would!"

"no i didn't."

Rose throws the roll of cotton gauze at his forehead.

"OW!"

"Take it as a..thank you gift for letting me join Toman."

"Ah, how am I suppose to explain this to Ken-chin."

"Well, please come up with something good because if my identity is somehow revealed I don't know what I'll do."

She looked into Mikey's eyes with vulnerability and hope instead of the menacing and threatening look one would have when their social status is on the line.

"I won't let that happen, promise. "

The girl looked away and paused for a moment before replying.

"Y'know, you're much nicer than I thought you'd be."

"What did you think I was like?" Mikey asked.

"I thought you were a cocky, rude troublemaker who was ruthless and unempathetic."

"Wow." The boy faked an offended tone at her words.

"I mean, you are the strongest delinquent in Tokyo! What do you want from me?" Rose tried to defend herself, albeit pathetically. After exchanging contacts with her, Manjiro went over the rules and regulations of Toman with her.

"Hey, Rose?"

"Yea?"

"Mind if I walk you home?"

Rose felt her cheeks flush at his statement.

"I can't let you go home all by yourself, injured. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to you."

"I uh..It's fine I can go by mysel-"

"Please?"

As Mikey looked at her with pleading eyes, she could feel all her morals flying away.

"Okay, fine. You can walk me home, but just drop me off close to my house. We wouldn't want you finding out where I live now, would we?"

"Don't think that'll be too bad, will it? "

Rose rolled her eyes and smiled at his teasing statement.

Mikey was first to rise up from his spot on the ground. He reached his hand out for Rose, opening up the opportunity for her to get up from the ground as well. Rose took his hand, as she tried to get up, the girl grimaced after realising how exhausted and hurt her body was after their fight.

"Yea okay let's go."

She grabs Manjiro's arm and tugs gently, urging him to prove that chivalry has yet to die. He happily obliges.

"By the way, can I call you something else? Other than Mikey?" Rose asks, testing the waters.

"You can call me Manjiro," Mikey suggested, "That's a privilage only for you, considering you won against me, sweetheart."

He teased the girl once again, causing her to transform into a tomato. "Okay I know for a fact you were holding back in that fight!" she finally addresses the concern.

"So were you!"

He's very ooc but idgaf it's nice

Chapter 5 : Decisions

-ˋˏ ❀. * ‧₊˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊*. *₊°❀ ˎˊ-

All the beeps of heart beat monitors, all the footsteps of doctors shuffling from room to room, were tuned out by Sachiko. All she could think about was the horrible piece of news she received this morning.

"105... 106... 107!" She mumbled to herself, navigating through the hospital.

Her eyes focused on the patient in room 107. She was wrapped up in bandages from head to toe. Her left leg was encased in a cast and cuts and bruises could be seen on the remaining places which weren't covered with medical gauze. Sachiko felt tears well up in her eyes as she whispered apologies to her old classmate.

She was preparing to leave when she heard the desperate cries and curses coming from an old man and his wife, in which she could only assume were her old friend's parents. They were yelling at 2 teenage boys- wait, weren't those Takemichi's friends? Why were they getting yelled at? What were they here for? Oh, Moebius. Guilt flooded her mind as she glanced back to her old friend, she's been through so much after all. After some thinking, Sachiko managed to link, in her muddled up brain, patient 107's incident with Moebius, with Toman, with-her brother. Suddenly, she realised all the possible dangers Takemichi could be in if he was in a gang that was up against this kind of violence, this kind of brutality. She collected her things and headed for the exit.

"Hey Ken-chin, was that Takemichy's sister just now?"

That was all Rose heard before rushing out of the hospital and into a taxi.

"Where to?" The taxi driver asked.

That prompted the girl to quickly write down her address on a random piece of paper she had and give it to the driver.

"Here please, thank you sir." She said, still maintaining her manners.

Sachiko usually preferred her drivers to be chatty, but not this ride, she needed peace and quiet to let the full weight of the situation set in. Luckily, the man was quiet and kept to himself.

After a short nap(Sachiko just closed her eyes throughout the ride), she was woken up by the driver, informing her she has reached her destination. She blinked her drowsiness away as she reached for her wallet. The girl proceeded to pay the amount of money displayed on the fare meter and got off the taxi.

Once she stepped out of the vehicle, she realised just how freezing cold it was. Glancing at the tiny puddles of water that pooled in corners of the street, she deduced that it must've been raining during the ride. Sachiko grabbed her keys and impatiently unlocked her door, wishing she was in her humble abode instead of the cold, harsh outside.

The girl let out a sigh of relief after her doors decided to finally open. Then, Sachiko shut the door behind her, making sure to lock it, and entered her bedroom. She kicked the door shut, not bothering to turn around and properly close it. Then and only then, could she peel back the mask she'd been putting up this whole time.

"WHY IS TAKEMICHI IN A GANG? WHY TOMAN?? WHY'RE THEY PLANNING TO FIGHT MOEBIUS?!"

The teenage girl was in quite the predicament, she was stuck between prying Takemichi out of the gang herself or just straight up getting the arrested.

"What to do, what to doooo?!!?!?"

She flopped onto her comfy bed and nuzzled her face into her fluffy pillow. "mhhmm mhmmum!!!"

Her words of worry were muffled by the pillow suffocating her.

Sachiko turned her head to her right, she saw the outfit in her closet. She suddenly thought of an idea.

"Though, I will be risking quite a lot doing this..."

After some not so careful consideration, she decided to commit to the risky plan. "SCREW IT! My life needs more drama anyways."

Sachiko put on a black hoodie and a pair of light blue jeans, along with some purple contact lenses instead of her usual glasses. Next, she put her hair up in a neat ponytail with her curtain bangs covering her hairline. Then came the final part of her disguise, a black mask.

"Time to fight your way in 'Rose'. "

EEEEEE next chapter has a fight scene that I'm quite proud of(seeing as I wrote that one year ago)

Chapter 4 : Explanations

-ˋˏ ❀。• ˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊* • ₊°❀ ˎˊ-

"I didn't know you had a sister!" Chifuyu exclaimed while smacking his best friend in the head for not telling him about his own family.

"She doesn't even look like you," Draken jokingly added, eyeing the timid boy.

"I dyed my hair?" Takemichi tried reason with his friends.

"Not just your hair, she looks way too good to be your sister!" hisses and "ouch"s were exchanged throughout the whole group, cringing at Mikey's blunt insult.

"We're blood-related y'know!" he bit back.

His ridicule was continued by Mitsuya, "So what's next you gonna tell us about your secret twin too?" The future fashion designer rhetorically questioned.

"WHAT NO! i have 2 younger sisters, Rose is 14 years old and the other is 4, her name is Yumi." Takemichi explained in an attempt to clear things up.

"That's it?" Manjiro asked, in case Takemichi's family tree had more branches.

"Yea." He finally managed to cleared everyone's doubts.

"Hold on Takemichi, you said Rose was 14 but she's younger than you?" Mitsuya genuinely asked, confused about Takemichi's family situation.

"uhm yea, she's 3 months younger than me, we have different mothers"

"Ah, just like Emma." Mikey mumbled, bringing his half-sister into their conversation for no reason.

As the group walked further and further into the streets of Tokyo, Takemichi asked, "Wait a minute, where are we?"

The gang looks around to see an unfamiliar surroundings. Somehow, they got distracted and managed to wander off to a random street. Now they were lost and none of them had their phones on them.

"Oh no."

‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊* ‧₊˚*✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩*

"At least we found our way back." Even after receiving a brutal beating, Takemichi still managed to look on the bright side.

"Quit it, stop being so optimistic." His friend, Chifuyu, dismissing his words of comfort. With every step he took, the boy grunted, finally feeling the soreness and pain from all the hits he took—to be fair, he definitely got it worse than Takemichi.

After the group had stupidly decided to split up, the pair had encountered some Moebius goons. The situation escalated quickly and ended with the pair running away. Takemichi called out to the group, relieved he found them before Chifuyu fainted. They turned around to see a beaten up Chifuyu and an injured Takemichi.

"Jeez, what happened?" Mitsuya asked, concerned with the well being of his friends.

"Some guys from Moebius caught us off guard," Chifuyu felt he could no longer stand on his own, so he put his weight on Takemichi, who was already previously supporting him. "There was too many of them, I couldn't hold them off."

"Why didn't you call for us?" Draken asked with annoyance at the two boys.

"We didn't want conflict between Toman and Moebius." Takemichi chimed in.

Mitsuya sighed at their flawed logic. "It won't stop any conflict if they made the first move."

Takemichi opened his mouth to argue but was quickly stopped by Mikey's statement.

"The fight was bound to happen," Mikey said with a hint of anger laced in his confident voice.

"They had already brought the fight to us when Moebius decided to mess with Pah."

The way their leader spoke was unsettling and cold. Suddenly, the mood changed from anger to somber and bitterness.

[insert moebius story] (im too lazy I'm sorry)

"that's also the reason we called you over to discuss some things." Draken added after Mieky explained the whole situation.

"So we're going to fight moebius?" Takemichi asked cluelessly.

Mikey snickers.

"Of course not," their leader's voice switched from a light one to a deadly one in the same sentence. "We're going to pummel them."

The rustling of a bush right behind them went unnoticed by the group, giving Rose the perfect opportunity to escape with the information she needed.

Chapter 3 : Misunderstandings

-ˋˏ ❀ * ‧₊˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊* *₊°❀ ˎˊ-

Sachiko threw her school bag on her bed and quickly hopped in her shower. Although the shower she took was a good one, she remained in the bad mood she carried home from her terrible day.

The poor girl forgot her English homework at home, so the teacher gave her a scolding. And to add to that, She got a 6/10 on her math exercise paper because her classmates were distracting her and her favourite teacher was disappointed with her. Furthermore, her wallet was nowhere to be found so she had to skip both breakfast AND lunch cause she had to stay back for detention. The detention was caused by a friend of hers, accidentally breaking a vase. Rose took the blame for her, except she didn't expect to starve the whole time. And then, she had to run home in the rain because she forgot her phone was charging at home and she couldn't call her driver.

The exhausted teen got dressed, dried her hair off and face-planted on a fluffy, comfortable bed. Nothing could've separated her from the bed at that point. Nothing except for the fact that her younger sister was still at the kindergarden. (I refuse to give her a break, the X from MHA didn't get a break you don't either SAYA INSAN ADIL)

Without hesitation, she shot up from her bed and called her driver. When she arrived at her sister's kindergarten, Sachiko asked her sister's teacher where little Yumi was. The teacher said that someone had already picked her up. Thinking her sister had been kidnapped, Sachiko rushed back home only to find that Takemichi had already picked Yumi up. Letting out a sigh of relief, she ran toward Yumi and hugged her.

"OH thank goodness! I thought something bad happened to you!" Sachiko cried out squeezing her 6-year-old sister.

"Heh, I figured you were staying back at school so I picked her up instead, sorry for giving you a scare." Takemichi timidly spoke.

"Thanks Takemichi, though, you had me thinking Yumi had been kidnapped for one second."

Sachiko turned to face Takemichi and noticed fresh bruises and cuts on his face. She told Yumi to go to her room. Once she was sure Yumi couldn't hear, she spoke.

"Again? This is the 3rd time you've come home like this idiot,"

"I know I jus-"

"No, No, you don't, " She interrupted. "You aren't telling me what happened nor are you fixing it. I need you to take this seriously"

"I am"

"NO! Time and time again you've come back like this and yet every single time I ask you, you brush it off and deny it!" She yelled at her brother. "What the hell do i do about this?!"

"I've told you, nothing! I'm sorting it out!"

"Damn it! Just let me help!"

"You don't need to help, I'm fine!"

"YOU-"

"I'M NOT LIKE HIM SACHIKO!"

Rose's eyes widened at that name, ah, she sure hasn't heard that name in a long time. After realising what he had said, Takemichi quickly apologised.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to say that"

"No, you're right, you're not like him," She shot back. "you're far worse."

Taken aback by his sister's words, he softly asks her. "w-what do you mean?"

"Our father was a determined man. Despite that, he had always lacked something-kindness. You have a heart of gold Takemichi, you always h put yourself before others, constantly endanger yourself, " She takes a breath before continuing. "I'm scared that I'll lose you too..."

Tears started to well up in Sachiko's eyes.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you, it's just," She sobs. "-been a really hard day."

A tear crept down her face. Takemichi, not knowing what to do, takes her into a hug. Pulling away from the hug first, Sachiko says, "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For being a good brother."

Smiles made their way onto the siblings faces. While the two were enjoying the embrace, the door to Yumi's room creaked open. Out came the 4-year-old child, squeezing her blanket.

"Oh Yumi, did we scare you?" She pulls away from the hug to look at her little sister. The small child nodded and ran towards her siblings.

"Sorry Yumi, we didn't mean to..." After hearing her older brother's apologies, she raised both her hands, gesturing for Takemichi carry her. The clueless boy turned to Sachiko for help but only got a mocking chuckle paired with an evil smile in return.

"I'm not helping you! It's your turn to do Yumi-duty this time, goodnight~" Sachiko teased, quickly retreating into her room before her brother decides to ditch their little sister duty again.

She slept well, the soft sounds of silence lulling her to rest. Unfortunately, she wasn't quite so lucky the following morning.

"ACHỌÔŒÓÖ"

"BLESS YOU???"

Takemichi phrased, unsure whether that was a sneeze or not.

"than 'kyou" Sachiko said wiping her nose with a 5-ply tissue she had recently bought specifically to treat Takemichi's injuries.

"I think I'm si- ACHÓŐÛÚĔƏĂÂÔŒØŐĂỊŮĘÖ"

"WHAT THE FU-"

"-sick," Sachiko hurried to complete her sentence. "running in the rain doesn't seem like such a good idea to me anymore,"

Takemichi, still shocked by the fact that the demonic sound came from his sister, got up from the breakfast table to get a thermometer. Sachiko remained cuddled up on the sofa scrolling on her phone. Once her brother came back with the tool, he took her temperature. The thermometer showed a whopping 39.8°C.

"W-WHAT?!"

"what"

"YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!"

"IM GONNA WHAT?!"

"OH NO OH NO OH NO"

"GIVE ME THE GODDAMN THERMOMETER"

The sick girl snatched it out of her brother's hand and saw the temperature her body was in. Of course, having absolutely no experience in this matter, the siblings called the emergency number. Sadly, the emergency respondent told them to "give her panadol" and hung up.

In their state of panic, the two delicate snowflakes decide on calling Hinata. Takemichi ran to get his phone and was now talking to hinata in another room. Fortunately, Hinata was a normal person with a normal life and gave them normal advice. Rose took some fever medicine and was transported to her bed to rest.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Takemichi opened the door and was met with the faces of the founders of Tokyo Manji Gang.

"Takemichi!" The leader of Toman whined.

"OH? Why are you all here?" The confused boy questioned his friends.

"Oi Takemichi where the hell were you?" Draken shot a question of his own.

Coming to a a realisation, Takemichi quickly apologised. "OH NO! I forgot about the hangout, I'm Sorry! (⋟﹏⋞)"

"Takemichi how could you be so forgetful!" Mikey, very ironically, accused Takemichi.

"You're one to talk," Draken called his best friend out on his hypocritical behaviour.

"I'll kick your as-" His threat was interrupted by a feminine voice shouting, "Takemichi!"

The group of boys went silent when they heard the voice coming from Sachiko's room. Takemichi couldn't think of anything else to do, except to stand there, frozen.

"...Was that Hinata?"

"Uh, no bu-"

The atmosphere became serious almost instantly. The eyes in the room stared him down as if they were ready to pounce at Takemichi if he says the wrong thing. The poor boy's brain gave up on thinking as he was trying to find an answer that wouldn't earn him a kick to his head or a punch to his face.

Draken, tried of the silence, questioned, "Then who was that?"

Suddenly, the door to Sachiko's bedroom swung open. Out came a girl, wearing a crop top and shorts, though her body showed no signs of injury, she looked pale and lethargic.

"Takemichi, Where is my water?"

Once Rose saw the group of boys surrounding her brother, her flight-or-flight response had been activated. The girl looked at her brother, then back at the group, Not knowing their intentions, she took half a step back, retreating into her room.

"And who is this Takemichi?" the boy with blonde hair asked while eyeing here down suspiciously.

Sneaking a glance at her brother's expression,

Takemichi no longer had any worry or panic on his face, instead, it was replaced with an embarrassed one. After her suspicions were cleared, Rose started to calm down.

"I'm Takemichi's sister, Sachiko. Who might you be?"

Mikey, shocked at her statement, blurred out, "...sister?"

"We're Takemichi's friends and we've come to pick him up for a hangout." thankfully, Draken was the only sensible one and explained first.

Her brother had an expression that could be considered the prime example of relief. Most of their group looked dumbfounded while the others looked embarrassed.

"Oh, I see. Then, don't let me be a bother!" Sachiko no longer felt threatened by their presence, so she shoved her brother our the door, "Takemichi go."

"i-uh-wait-no-but-you-wait-"

"nonono you go hang out, I'll be fine"

She quite literally 'pushed' her brother to hang out with the friends of his.

"Thank you very much Sachiko-san." (chifuyu)

The polite boy took a bow and all of the exited the house quickly.

"Huh, they were surprisingly polite,"

Sachiko said to herself before taking a sip of the water she requested so many times. She looked out of their house window and saw her brother joking around with his friends. She was about to go back to bed but not before she noticed "Tokyo Manji Gang "imprinted on one of Takemichi's friend's jacket. The boy had a short figure and blond hair tied up halfway.

"He seems quite familiar...Have I met him before?"

Oh you sweet child, you have, so many times before.

I'm following most of the tr plot but I'm changing a little bit (I'm not letting anyone die)

Chapter 2 : Danger

-ˋˏ ❀* ‧₊˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊ *₊°❀ ˎˊ-

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEE-* *slap*

"Aghh."

Sachiko yawns as she lazily gets out of bed. She slips into her bunny slippers and wobbles to her bathroom. She brushes her teeth with half-lidded eyes and takes a shower. Not feeling any different in energy from yesterday, the girl does what a normal 14-year-old would do, she chugs down a whole cup of coffee.

*Sigh* "Much better,"

Finally waking up from her drowsy state, Sachiko gets ready to go out. She yelled to notify Takemichi about her leave, but heard no reply. She figured he was still asleep and went out. Aside from her horrible sleep schedule, she was quite excited and happy today. Why? Well because she was going to have an outing with her best friends: Emma and Hinata!

When the sleep-deprived girl reached the mall, she looked around and realised they were late...again. She let out a sigh of disappointment and went to a cafe where she is a regular and ordered a cup of coffee. Despite the insane amount of caffeine she had consumed today, Rose fell asleep in the cafe.

Her dream was strange, one would even say it felt nostalgic. She dreamt of a slender male figure with white hair styled in a stepped haircut just above the shoulders, embracing a woman with beautiful long hair dressed in a trailing lilac dress ; the pair was under a sakura tree, the pink and gentle petals flowing down, littering the ground on which the duo was standing. After a few moments, the woman pulled away to look the man in his eyes, hinting to have something more than just a hug. The man seemed to understand her wants and leaned in for a kiss.

From the corner of her eye, Sachiko noticed a revolver being cocked.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" She called out the man on his actions in an attempt to stop him, but she exclamation went unnoticed by the person.

Instead, that caused the attacker to raise up the weapon, aiming it directly at the girl's head. Sachiko yelled desperately for the assailant to stop, only to be ignored as if she was only visiting a memory. She averted her attention back onto the couple, hoping they could dodge the bullet(pun not intended). Just as their lips grazed, the gun was fired.

The woman's body went limp and the blood from the gunshot in her head started to trickle down her face. Just then, Sachiko caught a glimpse of the name badge she was wearing.

<Is t-that->

Rose suddenly shot up from her chair, startled by the nightmare. Then, the disoriented teenager was surprised by a touch on her shoulder. She jerked her head around and saw familiar faces.

"EMMA, HINATA!"

"SACHIKO WE WERE LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU AND YOU WERE HERE SLEEPING ALL ALONG?!" Emma exclaimed.

"JEEZ NOT LIKE I WAS THE ONE WHO CAME LATE"

"KEEP IT DOWN! WE'RE STILL IN A CAFE WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU TWO" Hinata whisper shouted.

"OK fine sorry"

"Do you have any idea what time it is right now?!"

"what"

"2:00 pm"

Sachiko was shocked to hear this seeing that she arrived at 1:15 pm.

"Damn I slept for 45 minutes." The girl stated as she scoffed at her terrifying ability to fall into rem sleep that easily.

"Hinata calculator mode, what time did Rose get here?"

"You can't do 60-45?"

"shut up."

They laughed and exited the cafe.

"Let the fun begin~"

The girls went from shop to shop, collecting bags left and right ; from cosmetic stores to grocery stores, they didn't care where they were, they just wanted to splurge on whatever they laid their eyes upon. By the end of the day, the 3 of them were almost buried in shopping bags.

"Welp im spent."

"help."

Emma and Sachiko turned around to see Hinata dying with at least 4 bags on each of her limbs. They rushed to help their friend despite the bags they were already carrying. Sachiko hurriedly ran to a glossy black car with tinted windows. She knocked on the window and the door unlocked almost instantly. She threw the bags she had inside the car and called out to Hinata and Emma to do the same. The girls sighed with relief as they put down the last bag of random stuff they bought. When Hinata came back to her senses, she asked:

"Rose, whose car is this?"

"I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE OMG WHOSE CAR IS THIS"

"Mine idiot"

They looked at her in shock. Was their friend a billionaire all along?

"Well, it's my dads' but-"

"PHEW!"

"PHEW!" Hina and Emma exclaimed in sync, confusing Sachiko.

"WHAT?!"

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE INVOLVED IN SOME MAFIA FAMILY OR SOMETHING!"

"I THOUGHT SHE HAD A SUGER DADDY!"

"EXCUSE ME???"

She got up and hit both her friends for jumping to conclusions like that.

"ok ok, enough joking around. How are y'all gonna go home?"

"I'm walking."

"Me too."

"Are y'all sure? It's almost night, you shouldn't be walking out in the streets."

The girls nodded in sync to assure their friend.

"Alright, please stay safe!"

They bid their goodbyes and went their separate ways. By some miracle, Sachiko managed to find a seat in the pile of bags.

"Your dad's car?" The driver of the car asked with sarcasm.

"You try coming up with a better excuse" She bit back. "Don't go home yet, follow them."

The driver obeyed her words without hesitation despite her only being 15 years old, almost as if she was the daughter of some kind of mafia boss. Well, maybe she was. (😶💅💅)

‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊* ੈ✩‧₊˚*✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩*

"That was so fun!!!"

"Yea, we bought sooooo much stuff!!!"

The two girls laughed out loud. Little did they know, there were thugs right around the corner, waiting for some girls to take advantage of. As the girls turned the corner, 2 drunk-looking men with dirty clothes appeared in front of them.

"Where are you girls going this late?"

"U-uh we're going home for dinner." Emma hesitantly said.

"Surely you wouldn't mind hanging out with us a little longer wouldn't you?" Despite already declining their invitation, the men insisted on it.

Wanting to get out of this situation quickly, Hinata explained firmly, "No thank sirs, we really have to go."

As they turned to leave, one of them grabbed Hinata's wrist.

"Ah too bad you're going to have to miss dinner~"

The man pulled Hinata close to him.

"LET GO OF HER!" Emma cried out, trying to stop the man from hurting her friend.

Emma grabbed onto the man's forearm, attempting to stop his assault on her friend. But alas, it was no use, the man pushed Emma off him and she fell to the ground. Hinata turned her face away and closed her eyes, praying for someone to come save her.

"She said no you assholes."

They all turned their heads toward the voice. They saw a figure with a feminine build wearing a black mask; the piercing look in her electric purple eyes was spine-chilling.

"What are you gonna do little girl? "

The person walked toward them nonchalantly, which confused the men. She stopped right before the man who was holding Hinata's wrist and delivered a punch to his jaw, breaking it. The sound of his bones cracking was enough to scare off his friend who tried to run away. But the figure quickly chased after him and tripped him.

"PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" the man begged for mercy, fearing for his life.

"Why should I listen to you, you certainly didn't listen to those girls you were about to harass."

Her cold tone in her voice sent chills down Hinata's and Emma's spines.

"I-I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! I SWEAR!"

The figure seemed to pause for a moment, before grabbing his collar.

"run."

As she let go of his collar, the man desperately ran away. Hinata and Emma could only freeze in place as the figure walked towards them.

"You girls alright?"

"I-uhm yea! Yea, we are! " Emma responded quickly.

"You girls better hurry home, it's dangerous this late out" the unknown person advised.

"We will!"

The figure gave them a nod and took off. Emma and Hinata stood there in disbelief at what just happened.

"Hinata?"

"Y-yea?"

"w-was that THE『Rose of Tokyo』???!!!"

"IT WAS!!!"

"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MET HER!!!"

"SHE'S SO COOL??!???!?"

"HER EYES ARE PURPLE OMG!?!"

"NO CAUSE HER VOICE WAS SO OMG!!!"

"SHE'S SO STRONG TOO!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The two girls having forgotten they were almost harassed, were fangirling over their 'saviour'.

This is so cringe, I advise yall to skip to chapter 6, not much happens in the early chapters that is important to the plot.

Notes : English is not my first language and there are probably a lot of mistakes in here :'D. Also, I need to stress how cringe the first part of the story is but trust me, my writing gets better as you read😭

Chapter 1 : Rose of Tokyo

-ˋˏ ❀。* ✿˚* ੈ ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊ *₊° ❀ ˎˊ-

"Have you guys heard of the 'Rose of Tokyo'?" Akkun asked with hesitance.

"What kind of name is that?" Makoto asked mockingly.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO?! THE GIRL WHO SAVED COUNTLESS OF OTHER WOMEN FROM BEING HARRASSED?! THE GIRL WHO IS RUMORED TO HAVE THE SKILL OF TOMAN'S LEADER?! THE GIRL WHO CAN KICK ASS?! THE GIRL WH-"

"OK, WE GET IT" Yamagishi was quickly cut off by Takemichi.

Despite that, he continued, "You are a disgrace to the brotherhood for not knowing that such a badass delinquentress existed."

"You are one annoying fanboy"

*GASPS* "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY WORK YOU LITTLE-"

Yamagishi and Makoto get up to square up with each other, while the others continue to chill at the park.

*Sigh* "Those two are so annoying,"

Takemichi chuckles.

"But why did you ask us about her?"

"Oh, I want to know who she was."

"Akkun? I didn't know you were a fan"

"What no! I just wanted to thank her in person for helping my sister get out of trouble yesterday,"

"why can't you just find her and tell her,"

"she always runs away when someone tries to talk with her,"

"oh I see"

"WAIT, did you think WE of all people knew?"

"I thought Yamagishi would've found out by now."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

He yelled from a distance.

"WE THOUGHT YOU WOULD KNOW WHO SHE IS BY NOW SINCE YOU'RE SUCH A SIMP!"

"OH, YOU WANNA FIGHT?!"

"BRING IT ON FANBOY!"

Akkun left Takemichi and joined in on the fight.

<what a hypocrite>

Takemichi thought to himself as he glanced at the time displayed on his phone.

"Uh, I have to leave now, it's about to be dinner time."

His friends whined in disappointment. They bid farewell and Takemichi headed home. After walking for a while, he finally reached home. He swung open the door, threw his bag on their broad couch and rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Emerging from his room after showering, he walked toward the sofa and flopped on it face down, not even making an effort to complete his schoolwork. Suddenly, he heard the house door being unlocked.

"TAKEMICHI IM HOME"

"Oh hi sis"

Sachiko comes in with some kfc that she bought for dinner.

"KFC?!"

"You got a 67% on your Math exam so I figured you should have a reward"

<I really shouldn't award him for this but oh well>

"THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

Takemichi exclaimed as he grabbed the bag of the finger-lickin' good fried chicken and dug in. While enjoying their dinner, Takemichi suddenly brought up a question.

"hey sis, have you heard of 'tokyo rose'?"

"...what"

"or something like that I probably messed up the name,"

"OH, you mean 'Rose of Tokyo' ? The one who goes around saving girls from getting harassed or something?"

"Why does everyone know who she is?"

"cause she showed up like 1 month ago I think."

<1 month 2 weeks and 4 days>

"oh really? I only found out about her recently, "

"huh, I didn't expect that from you, Takemichi,"

"what do you mean?"

"Oh cmon you know what I mean!"

'Wha- OH DONT THINK OF ME THAT WAY!"

"IT'S HARD NOT TO IF YOU'D HIDE THOSE MAGAZINES BETTER THEN MAYBE I WOULDN'T! "

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT! "

"..."

An awkward silence filled the room—that was until Sachiko started eating again, Takemichi followed, not making eye contact.

"So uhm why did you ask me about her?"

<damn this feels like déjà vu>

"uh Akkun wanted to thank the girl for helping her sister"

"She already thanked m....." She mumbled then slowly trailed off.

"What?"

"O-oh I was saying his sister probably already thanked the girl"

"He wanted to thank the girl formally, "

"She really doesn't want it, I mean she doesn't do what she does for something in return, she does it because she wants to help out. Plus, she'd feel way too bad if she hadn't interfered with the situation."

"wait a minute"

<SH*T I SAID TOO MUCH>

"How do you know that much about her?"

"ARE YOU-*GASP*"

"UHM NO I'M NOT IT'S JUST THAT I-"

"ARE YOU SECRETLY IN LOVE WITH HER?! I MEAN YOU AND HER HAVE 'ROSE IN YOUR NAMES AND-" "I'm throwing you out of the house"

"NO WAIT-"

Sachiko jokingly forces Takemichi out of the house and smiles to herself thinking how lucky she is to have a brother this stupid. But he was right about one thing, she really needed to be careful when letting rumours about her spread.

more notes: AHHH THAT WAS SO CRINGE. I'm so sorry😭😭 I wrote that shi a year ago. I promise the next chapters will be better🤞
