"[Y/n]..."

Mikey whispered the girl's name with empathy evident in his eyes. He knows clear well how she feels since Kazutora's still a friend of his despite the history.

Kakucho gets ready to dash towards the said girl's direction to stop her but Izana stretched his hand in front of stomach before he could even move a foot.

"Izana! We can't let her kill him!" He vociferates while the person who's name he shouted opened his mouth to speak without looking away from the [h/c] teen's form.

"This is what [Y/n] chooses to do." Was the only thing Izana said in a firm voice which made for his friend to grit his teeth after he took a glance at the girl.

"[Y/n]'s clearly not in the right mind right now!" He remarked. "She's obviously clouded with rage and once she snaps back, she'll be in despair when she realizes what she's done!"

Beads of sweat trailed down on a lot of people's faces. They watched with suspense and anticipation as the [h/c] teen's hair swayed softly along with the wind that blew weakly.

Her friends noticed that she didn't had any emotion on her face. It was unsettling to see because they've mostly witness a warm and full of affection on her face even if there are times where she doesn't have a smile on her face since they could simply see the adoration her eyes while looking at them.

They've always known how much she cares for each and one of them that it left them questioning their own selves sometimes of how they managed to become friends with such an amazing person, and how they would give everything they have just to please her, earn her attention, see her lovely and heartwarming smile.

And how they're reminded of how they fell so badly to her.

But now, currently...they watch with wide eyes as they watch the very same girl not falter or show any signs of putting her weapon away.

They're reminded again of what [Y/n]'s capable of – what she'd do for a friend...

What didn't crossed their minds was that she'd kill for them.

Sure, she may have harmed several dudes – delinquents with or without their helps while still thinking even 'til this day those said dudes absolutely deserve it, because they've disrespected her and her little brother; but it never did occur to them she'd kill a person.

Not to mention the fact that she purposely entered the delinquent world at the same time her Toman friends did by making lots of connections with such determination while looking as if...she's desperate about something.

It's almost three years and it's still considered a mystery among her friends and to some people.

But now, let's really go back to the current situation at hand...

'I have to get rid him just like how I did previously...'

The [e/c] girl gazed at the man who's sitting on the ground with his whole body terribly trembling with disdain. He looked at the gun between his eyes then to the person standing in front of him.

[Y/n] doesn't pay much attention to how her head ached and how her ears rang all of a sudden. "Move, Draken." Her tone of voice was contemptuous and deep when she said those words to her tall friend.

It made him feel a shiver run down his spine but despite that, Draken still mustered up the courage to speak and tell her,

"Stop this, [Y/n]." He said it through clenched teeth, his grip that was on her wrist tightening, but not to the point enough that it'll cause her pain though even if it did, [Y/n] wouldn't still pay him any mind and would simply just continue on with her thing.

'I've already did it many times so it's not like it'll be any special this time, too.'

"3..." she counted down so slowly that it made her show a playful smile but only for a second as it went back to its usual state.

And while those happen at the same time, the teenage boy on the ground took in a sharp breath as he helplessly looked at the girl with dread written all over his pale face. There was no hint of pity or at least sympathy on her.

She only looked as if she's been possessed or under some kind of a spell.

As he took a glance of [Y/n]'s face, he felt his throat go dry. He couldn't look away because of his fear getting the best of him.

So now, he has no choice but to stare straight at the female's hollow and piercing cold stare. It was so deadly that it made him feel like taking a piss right there and now.

"Oh? She really is something." Hanma's lips quirked up as clear amusement could be seen in his face. "To think she'd go this far for her friend." A deep chuckle erupted from him.

"What a sight. I'm sure that person would also be thrilled to know about this." Punishment wipes the blood away on his now wide grinning lips while focusing his eyes to the girl from the short distance.

"I've always known she's hot but right now...she just got ten times hotter." He lets out a dreamy sigh, his eyes that was droopy yet endearing not once leaving [Y/n]'s form.

"I wonder...will she do the same thing for me?"

"Holy shit, [L/n]'s not really going to pull that trigger, right?" Was the kind of question a lot of people had and said out loud or only thought to themselves.

"[Y/n]-san!!" Takemichi's loud scream of her name almost echoed due to how quiet everyone in the junkyard was.

'Please, let me make it!'

Without doubt, the blonde boy was desperate too to stop any more bloodshed from happening, especially since it's not just some random stranger who's about to do it, but a friend that he's grown attached to just like certain people in Toman.

While running, he felt his vision blurry because of the other set of tears that was threatening to spill out if his eyes. He was exhausted and beat up, yet he suddenly had a boost of energy because of the adrenaline that coursed through his veins.

"[Y/n] doesn't seem like she's planning to back away!" Swallowing the lump in his throat, Mitsuya turns his head to look at the president of Toman since he's been doing nothing but stand quietly on the same spot.

"Mikey, why aren't you saying anything? She's going to kill that guy!"

"2..."

'I need to quickly find someone who'll take the blame.' Kisaki pushes his glasses up with only two fingers after turning his head away. 'Just in case...since [Y/n] isn't showing any clear signs of stopping.'

"[Y/n], don't do it!" Souya retaliated like the others after wiping the sweat away on the left side of his cheek using the back of his hand.

Nahoya takes a step forward. "Draken, just take the damn gun away from her!" He shouted his own thoughts out loud to their Vice President.

"Izana!" Kakucho bellowed since his white haired friend has been quiet after their previous short conversation or argument.

Out of frustration, he muttered a few cursing words under his breath as he felt exasperated for both –three people, including himself. He doesn't want to disobey his friend but seeing how their female friend is about to do something that's irreversible...he wants to stop her while there's still time.

Kakucho takes a deep breath as he comes to a decision. But just like earlier when he was ready to run again, he hears Izana finally speak again.

"[Y/n] won't shoot. Just watch and have faith in her, Kakucho."

The guy unknowingly held in his breath when he saw the corners of [Y/n]'s lip curl upwards. He was going to die any second now, and the last thing he'd see before his death would be the face of the woman that'll kill him as she has a sickeningly sweet yet wicked smile adorning her beautiful face.

'I'm not going to make it..' Takemichi clenched his teeth as he saw Baji run pass him with speed while he comes to remember the statement the [h/c] female told him when he asked if she'd kill Masashi.

'Someone stop [Y/n]-san, please!' With his tears now trailing down his face, he shut his eyes and clung to the only small hope he has. 'Draken-kun,

"Damn it, [Y/n]!" When the dragon tattooed male was about to snatch the gun away, Keisuke appears next to them and shouts something unbelievable but good to hear.

"Kazutora's alive!!"

"I haven't seen that person's face!"

Both he and the guy loudly said at the same time, but the still unknown person groveled on his feet before speaking again.

"I p-promise I really haven't. All he ever does is either text or call!" He finally admitted and a look of relief glinted in his eyes while a smile showed on his face when he saw [Y/n] put down the gun.

'What was I thinking about again...?' she asked herself after breaking out of her trance. Taking a deep breath, her eyes went to look at the guy again, her previous dark thoughts now forgotten...

"He? Your boss' a guy?" She asked, voice sounding a bit rough as she goes down on one knee and used the tip of the gun to lift the guy's face by his chin. It made him flinch and wince when he felt the coldness of the metal against his cold skin.

"Y-Y-Yes!" He answered shortly while [Y/n] thinks of Kisaki's face, making her frown. "Wait, no! At least that's what I think so...I-I'm not sure since it seems like he uses a voice changer or something a-and the only rea-reason why I'm working for him is because he sent someone to offer me this kind of job."

He swallowed the saliva that formed in his mouth before continuing to tell whatever he knows in return to just save his own life.

"The guy's about, uh, 6 foot tall. Black hair and dark brown eyes, a-and..he looks kind, I guess?" He sniffled softly. "I met him...a few months ago after a week or so passed by since the fight be-between Moebius and Toman happened."

His voice was brittle and small. It was obvious he's on the verge of tears with how his glimmered under the bright light of the sun.

'It's Masashi.' She thought while feeling her blood boil. 'That guy's really testing me...Though, I wonder.' She took a small glance towards Kisaki's direction.

'...Are you really the mastermind behind all of this, Tetta?'

"I'm sorry...I-I really am!" The guy's cry and sobbing made her turn her attention back to him. She saw his tears drip down to his chin then the ground. "I just really..needed some money so I could buy my mother some medicine..."

[Y/n] suddenly felt sympathy flow in her as in some way, she could relate to his situation. It made her grit her teeth and click her tongue before she finally stood up. Everyone could hear the faint sounds of the sirens from the distance so slowly, each people from different gangs started to take their leave.

"...Police is here." Rindou blurted out while he sees Chifuyu and Takemichi carefully bring down Kazutora's body. Then his eyes goes back to focus on the [h/c] girl, a subtle smile showing on his face that seemed to soften due to how he looked at her.

"Leave before I change my mind." The female glowered to the crying boy who abruptly raised his head with wide eyes and stood up while wiping his tears away.

"Thank you...really." he hiccuped as he starts to go on his way too but only after saying his last, "Thank you so much.."

[Y/n] sighs while she ran her fingers through her hair in the middle. "Did you really have to shout, Keisuke?" She blankly said which made the said boy to give shoot her an incredulous look.

"I knew about Kazutora being alive. I just needed to get some information." She grimaced at the raven haired before putting her pinky inside her ear. She's lying.

"Geez, I thought for a second that my eardrums got destroyed when you yelled."

"What...?"

Turning on her heel, she walked away and left the two boys stunned in their spots to follow the rest of her Toman friends. Though she looked at her friend, Kazutora, who's clearly still alive and breathing for one last time with a graceful smile adorning her feature.

"If you let yourself get arrested then you won't be able to visit him in the hospital." She told Baji from behind as it seems like he's debating wether he should stay by his friend's side or—

"Not to mention you'll also make Ryoko-san cry and sad." [Y/n] held his wrist and gave it a small tug as she sees the others waiting for them by the exit. She waved her hand, indicating that she'll be there with them soon.

"Don't worry, we'll see him again soon since we'll visit him at the hospital tomorrow." She hummed which made the boy smile tenderly and now let himself get drag away to their friends' direction.

'Finally...The fight's over.' The time leaper boy smiled after he and [Y/n] exchanged knowing looks at each other with evident relief written all over their face.

'No one died. It's a mission success!'

"Good work, Takemitchy." The girl grinned making for him to return the same smile with a nod of his head and cheerful hum.

With the group now meters away from the junkyard, they all walked along side each other on the side of the road while talking about the fight.

Like, how they beat up their opponents, and how many they knocked out which caused for the Toman boys to get riled up and be competitive against each other while [Y/n] thanks Kakucho for carrying her bag before getting it back so she could put away the gun before any random civilian sees it and quickly report her to the police.

Of course there should be the thinking of it having the possibility that's it's nothing but a mere toy gun...but the thing is, she's walking with delinquents who're beaten up with little splatters of blood on their bruised faces.....

"Where'd you get the gun?" Mucho was the first to ask and beat the others to it, so now they could only look at her with curiosity glinting in their eyes.

"Just from a friend." She simply replied. By the coldness of her smile and tone despite saying the weapon came from a friend, they all took it as a sign not to pry any further.

"I gotta admit," the Vice President of Toman spoke as he let out a deep sigh before continuing on with his words. "You had us in the first half there."

With his head now shaking left to right for a short moment, some of their friends agreed with Draken's words.

"Yeah, you really scared me, [Y/n]-san." Takemichi sighs too, his shoulders slumped while a snicker could be heard from a few people in their group.

"Oh, right." The girl blankly reacted making for her friends to either sweat drop or laugh at her nonchalant expression.

"Sorry about that. I needed to get some answers from that guy since I saw him talking to someone on his phone before he pulled out a knife on his jacket and dashed towards your direction." She informed while looking at the quiet Keisuke when her statement was close to finishing.

Chifuyu was walking beside him, evidently worried for his friend and former commander – which he hopes that would come back to Toman and return to his position.

"You were seriously cool and baddass!" Nahoya quipped with a little laugh after slinging an arm around her shoulder. "I really thought ya were gonna kill the dude which I'm glad you didn't, of course!"

"Mhm." Souya agrees with a light nod of his head and a subtle smile on his face.

A slender arm goes around her waist as the person speaks in a smooth voice. "Not to mention quite sexy, too." The older Haitaini cooed in a playful tone before sneering when he saw Nahoya's smile disappear for a second.

"The fuck you doin' here, pigtail shit?" Insulted the peach haired teen. "Let go of [Y/n] and scram." He added after pulling the said girl more towards his direction by her shoulders and making her bury her face on his chest.

"I should be the one telling you that." Is what Ran remarked to Nahoya's insults. "And even if my pigtail is as shit as you say, at least it's not close to being as shitty as yours." He jeered, now pulling the [h/c] teen to his side by her waist since his arm didn't left it from the start.

A spark could be felt between the two older siblings that glared at each other with mocking looks on their faces.

Tapping their shoulders, she opened her mouth to finally say something about her situation. "That's enough with pulling me like some kind of a rag doll, kids." In a monotonous voice she told them which caused for their bickering to halt.

"Alright, cotton candy." Ran hummed. "Let go of the pretty lady." He says through a crescent like smile making for a vein to pop up on Nahoya's face while Rindou rolled his eyes at them.

Don't get him wrong. It's not like he's feeling jealous or anything....

"Why don't the both of you just let go at the same time?" Kisaki blurted out with a light scoff. Don't misunderstand again. Just because he's glaring at the two boys attached to the [h/c] girl, he's obviously not jealous like some fools who are also..glaring...

You know what? Whatever. He's clearly jealous.

"Exactly!" Mikey shouted after snatching the female away, now back to his usual self which some people was glad for.

"I'm the only one who's allowed to hug [Y/n] like this." He huffed out as his arms that was wrapped around said girl's body tightened. "She's my future wife after all!"

"Ha?" Izana undoubtedly disagreed with just that as he made quick footsteps towards the them. He copies what his younger brother did a while ago. He swiftly took the lifeless looking [Y/n] away from the blonde boy's embrace.

So now, he's currently the one who's hugging the said girl from behind with his arms wrapped around her shoulders while glaring at the shorter teen among the three of them.

"Like hell she'd marry a shrimp like you!"

'Seriously, I feel like...' [Y/n] trails of, her expression turning dark as a shadow casted on the upper part of her face while her friends watches on the side, already knowing that she won't need anyone's help to break free.

'I'm a toy that's being fought over by children.'
