TW - Violence, gore, strong language

Both gangs run towards each other and meet in the middle. People were getting punched and kicked left and right. I didn't move from my spot. I watched as people behind me run at full force. It was like watching the ocean waves crashing with rocks.

I need to snap out of it and find Mikey to prove that Toman needs me. I suddenly felt a sting on my face, and I was knocked off my feet. What was that? Did I just get punched when I was lost in thought? I looked up to see who did was.

"GET UP!"

"Baji, Please, I don't have time for this" I get up and push him aside. I was met with another punch in the face.

"NO! YOU'RE FIGHTING ME!"

What is he doing? He isn't trying to hurt me because he isn't punching that hard. Is he trying to get me to fight him because he doesn't want me to fight anyone else? Does he not want me to get hurt? Even though I betrayed him, he's still trying to protect me.

"Fine, I'll fight you, Keisuke" If it makes him feel better, I'll do it. I owe him that much.

I get up from the ground into a ready stance to fight. I throw the first punch, and Baji dodges; he then throws a fast punch to my side, but I blocked it; as soon as I blocked it, I returned a swift punch to his stomach, and I managed to land a hit. Baji stumbled back on impact.

"Not bad, Y/N," Baji said with a grin.

"You are the one who taught me how to fight, so I have to be good," I said, smiling back.

"You're not going easy on me, are you?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I'm only putting as much effort in it as you are."

I run towards him, swinging nonstop left and right, but he manages to keep up with my pace. This reminds me of when Baji used to train me. I begged him to teach me when we were little since he was learning from a dojo. I wasn't allowed to go out to places as a kid so, whenever I had the chance, I would spend it with Baji.

Reminiscing the past came to a quick end when Hanma stepped in front of me.

"What are you doing? I told you, you have one target."

"I was busy with Kei- with him," I said. "Where were you?!"

"All that matters is that I'm here! Go find Mikey!"

I look at Baji. Please forgive me. I'll tell you everything later. I turn and run in the opposite direction.

"Y/N, COME BACK HERE!" Baji said. I could hear the anger and worry in his voice, but I didn't turn back.

I run through the crowd, people pushing me every which way. Mikey. Mikey. Mikey. My eyes scanned through the hundreds of people there, but I couldn't find him. Where is he?!

I felt someone tugging on my clothes. Just as I was going to punch this mystery person, I stopped when I saw it was Takemichi.

"Tak-."

I saw someone from Moebius trying to land a punch on Takemichi. I grabbed Takemichi's shirt and pulled him behind me, and gave the Moebius member a kick to the chest and a roundhouse kick to the head.

"TAKEMICHI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! IT'S DANGEROUS." Honesty, how has he made it this far. He's a little ruffed up, but other than that, he looks fine.

"WHERE'S DRAKEN!" Takemichi said completely ignoring my question.

"Draken?" I then see Draken lying on the floor quite far from us. He doesn't look like he wasn't moving. My heart sank to my feet, and I felt sick. The only thing that was stopping me from not throwing up was my determination to find out if Draken was ok.

I pushed Takemichi to the side and ran that fastest I have ever ran to Draken.

"Y/N!" I could hear Takemichi screaming but only barely. The only thing on my mind was Draken.

No. No. No. This isn't happening. DO THESE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT DEATH IS. THEY ACT AS IF IT'S A WAY TO TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT, BUT THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE AFTER! WHEN SOMEONE DIES, THEY'RE GONE, FOREVER. IDIOTS, ALL OF THEM.

I finally reached Draken. It felt like I was running for hours. I turn him over and check his pulse, and I let out a sigh of relief. It's weak, but it's there. I can see a lot of blood coming from him. I take off my jacket and put pressure on the wound. I look in the direction where my bike is parked. If I could just go to my bike and get some gauze, that could help, but I can't risk leaving Draken alone here. DAMN IT. I look around for someone still holding pressure on the wound. I can hear Draken groaning.

"Hey, hey Draken, your hurt right now, so don't move, ok. All you need to do is stay awake, alright?"

"O-ok," Draken said.

My phone! I still have my phone! I pulled it out of my pocket. "Don't worry, Draken, I'll call for help." Just as I was about to dial 911 on my phone, it was snatched from my hand. I didn't process what had just happened.

"Oh, sorry, but I can't have you calling the police on an important day like this."

"HANMA, STOP FUCKING AROUND GIVE ME MY PHONE. DRAKEN IS HURT BADLY!"

Hanma took a look at Draken with a blank expression on his face. "That not my problem" he shrugged.

"HANMA, THIS WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL" I yelled.

"You're right; you're supposed to be fighting Mikey, and yet here you are." He looked at me with disappointment. He then grabbed my shoulders and swung me to the other side. "I guess things don't always go as planned." He walked over to me and started stomping on my stomach. It knocked the wind out of me. Just as quickly as I lost my breath, I also got it back.

"Look at you on the ground like this. Seeing you in pain for once excites me," Hanma said, laughing at me.

Again and again, he stomped on me. At this point, I started to cough up blood.

"Y-y- Y/N," I could see Draken calling out to me, reaching his hand out towards me.

"DON'T GET UP, DRAKEN," I said in anger and pleading.

"WOW, I'm here fighting with you, and you're still worried about him. You're weaker than a thought," he stopped and started to walk towards Draken.

Between Hanma mocking Draken and me bleeding, something broke a little inside me. I got up I socked Hanma in the face. I looked at him on the ground "do you ever shut up, Hanma." I kicked him away from Draken, and I was going to beat him to death, but I remember that Draken needed help.

I ran to him and went back to holding pressure "don't worry. I'll get help." I looked around again. Please let someone be here that can help. I don't have medical supplies. I don't have my phone; I don't know what to do at this point. Everyone is too busy in the battle to pay attention, let alone help. DRAKEN IS A GOOD PERSON! Why is it always good people that die? I drop my head. It's happening again; I can't watch another person die in my arms."DAMN IT," I said out loud for anyone, ANYONE that could hear.

"Y/N! DRAKEN!" I hear a voice.

I turned around. My once hopeless expression turned into hope. "TAKEMICHI! WE NEED TO GET DRAKEN TO A HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!"

Takemichi was frozen in place from seeing so much blood.

"NOW, TAKEMICHI!" My yelling snapped him back to reality.

"R-right"

I tighten my jacket around Draken to help with the bleeding.

"Guahhhh," Draken groaned in pain.

"I know it hurts, but this will help you," I said. I wrapped one of Drakens arms around me and lifted him. Takemichi did the same.

"KENNY!" I hear Mikey yell. He had so many people fighting him all at once. He tried to get to Draken, but more people just blocked his path. I could tell he was worried and frustrated from the expression on his face.

"MIKEY! JUST FOCUS ON YOUR FIGHT. WE CAN'T WAIT, I said. If we waited for Mikey to get to us, Draken might be dead by then, and even if Mikey were to reach us, him leaving the battle might make Toman lose morale, and then they'll lose. Not that I cared whether or not Toman loses, but what if Mikey leaving the fight causes Baji to get hurt? I would never forgive myself. Either way, Mikey ,didn't this fight is not a good option.

"WE HAVE THIS FROM HERE!" I said

"HOW CAN I TRUST YOU?" He said, and he's right. How can he trust me? I'm his enemy.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRUST ME; YOU HAVE TO TRUST TAKEMICHI"

Mikey was trying to fight, talk, and trying to decide what to do all at the same time. "I'M LEAVING KENNY TO YOU, TAKEMICHI!"

"Huh? Me," Takemichi said.

"Yes! Now let's go!" I replied.

"Not so fast. You're funny if you think I'm letting you go anywhere," Hanma said.

We wasted too much time already. What do I do? Do I stay with Takemichi and risk Hanma getting in the way and wasting more time, or fight Hanma and leave it to Takemichi and hope he makes it to a hospital in time. The choice was obvious.

"Takemichi, I'm leaving it up to you to take Draken to the hospital."

"ARE YOU CRAZY YOU'RE GOING TO GET HURT!"

There he goes again, worrying about me. Why does he do that? We aren't even close, so why would he care?

"WE CAN'T WASTE ANY MORE TIME! IF I GET HURT, IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT SOMEONE DYING DOES MATTER, SO GO!"

With that, Takemichi carries Draken and walks away from the fight. I watched until he was out of sight, but then I was met with a really hard punch to the face.

"Now that there aren't any more distractions," Hanma tries to land another hit on me, but I dodge, "I can fight you for real!"

He drops to the ground and swings his leg around, which causes me to fall. Just as he was about to kick me, I managed to get out of the way. That was a close one. I can't afford to be distracted. All I can do is hope Takemichi makes it to a hospital and focus on the fight.

When I get up, Hanma starts running straight towards me. I took that as an advantage. When he was ready to swing, I dodged and hit his nose with the palm of my hand. The force of him running and slamming his nose on my hand made his nose break and start to bleed.

"Now that's what I'm talking about, little stray," he said with a smile.

"What, are you a masochist or just crazy?"

He slowly stood up and whipped the blood from his nose "both."

We fight like this back and forth. When one of us thought we had the upper hand, the other managed to land a hit.

I'm so tired, and I can't even use my special skill on him. If he were just to slow down just a bit, I would be able to pinpoint where his weak points are but, he keeps on coming at me too quickly that I don't have time to think. I look around and see that both Toman and Moebius are slowly starting to get smaller. People are either tired, hurt, knocked out, or all three.

"Aughhh," I get kicked in the stomach.

"What did I say about being distracted, huh" Hanma walks towards me. He puts his foot on my stomach and presses down.

"Ahhhhhhhh" The pain was excruciation; I couldn't even breathe from the pain. And him teasing me by taking his foot off just to slam it back down felt like hell.

He bends down to me "your weak little stray, playing with you is making me feel bad, but just a bit."

HE'S STANDING STILL! NOW'S MY CHANCE. I made my hand firm and straight and hit a pressure point on Hanma's arm that made his arm go limp.

"What the-" when he was too distracted paying attention to his arm, I lifted both my legs and shifted my body weight to the top of my body, then I rushed my body weight to the bottom part of my body and slammed my feet on Hanma's chest, kicking him a far distance away from me.

Hanma coughs, trying to regain his breathe "hahahahaha you never fail to surprise me, little stray." Hanma gets up slowly. He stumbles but is able to stand up. "I guess I was wrong your not weak after all."

I look around and see that the only people left standing were Toman's captains, Hanma, and me. Is the fight over? Mikey walks over to Hanma.

"Hah, fighting is exhausting, Mikey, and you don't even look out of breath, you monster."

"Just shut up and die," Mikey replied.

Their conversation was cut short by a motorcycle with a really buff guy on it who came into the field of vision. He was definitely not part of Moebius and not in the fight. He's probably one of Hanma's men.

"Come on, boss gotta go," the man said with a low voice.

"Yeah, yeah," Hanma said, looking at the man.

I could hear the faint sounds of police sirens.

"Listen up, Mikey, you're about to witness the creation of the most sinister biker gang alliance in the Kanto religion! And Valhalla it's named, you already know my name Shuji Hanma and as Valhalla's first vice commander I can promise you this much Mikey, from now on Toman will never know peace again!" Hanma hops on the bike.

"What about her?" The man on the bike said, looking at me.

"I'll leave it up to her. Do you want to stay here alone or come with me Y/N" Hanma reached his hand out.

Him saying my name like this made my skin crawl. As much as I don't want to go with him, what choice do I have? Like he said, I have no one. I go to reach for his hand when Baji grabs mine.

"What do you think you're doing? Are you stupid or something!"

"Let go of me!" I said, trying to pull my hand away.

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU LEAVE!"

"YOU WALKED AWAY FROM ME ONCE, SO JUST DO IT AGAIN, KEISUKE!" Silenced filled the parking lot, and I yanked my hand away from Baji.

I grabbed Hanma's hand, and he smiled.

"Seem like the lady made her choice now be nice and respect it," Hanma said, grinning at Baji, which made his blood boil.

I was ready to get on the bike when Baji tackled me to the ground.

"YOU THINK YOU SLAPPING YOUR HAND AWAY FROM ME WOULD GET ME TO LET YOU LEAVE!"

"Seem like we aren't going to get anywhere this way" Hanma looks down at me. "I know your choice. I'll give you a call when I need you." He left after saying that.

"ARE YOU STUPID! HANGING AROUND PEOPLE LIKE HIM! YOU'RE HURT!" Baji yelled.

"GET OFF ME!"

"NO!"

I started to punch randomly at him. I wasn't trying to hurt him, just trying to get him off. He got annoyed and just pinned my hands down.

"Are you going to tell me what's really going on, or are you going to keep on trying to run away," he stared down at me.

I was still trying to get out of his grasps and run away. I looked away from him and bit my bottom lip out of frustration, hard enough to draw blood.

"Just get off me," I didn't know what else to say. I couldn't face him right now, not like this.

"Alright, that enough," Mitsuya said and pulled Baji off of me.

I got up and walked to my bike.

"Where are you going, dam it!" Baji said.

"Home!" I hopped on my bike and left.

I drove my bike a couple of blocks before stopping at a gas station nearby.

"Hello, welcome- ARE YOU ALRIGHT? DO I NEED TO CALL THE POLICE?!" The cashier said.

"No, it's ok. Can I use your bathroom, though?" I replied

"Uhh, sure" They handed me the keys to the bathroom. "Oh, wait!" They ran to a part of the store and came back. "Here," they handed me some first aid stuff.

"Oh, Thank you," I said with a smile even though I was in pain. I took that supplies and went into the bathroom. I took off my shirt. "I look like shit" I grabbed some cotton balls and alcohol and rubbed it over any cuts I saw. Shit, this hurts. I put my shirt in my mouth, so the cashier didn't hear me. The last thing I need is the police to be called. Once I was done with that, I put some patches over my injuries and wrapped them tightly. I'm no medic, but I think I did pretty good. Tending to myself reminded me of Draken. I wonder if he is ok?

I left the bathroom and asked the cashier how much the stuff was. They shook their head and said, "don't worry about it, really. I just hope you're ok. You don't want me to call the police, maybe even an ambulance?"

I shake my head "no, I'm ok." I handed them one hundred dollars because I didn't know exactly how much I owed them. One thing I hate is owing someone something. After that, I left the store.

I hopped on my bike and was getting ready to leave, but I couldn't help but think about Draken. Why am I so worried about him he's not my problem. Still, I wonder if he's ok. My thoughts kept eating at me.

I stopped my bike and made a sharp U-turn toward the location of the nearest hospital. I know I'm probably the last person they want to see, but I'm just going to get in and get out. I won't even let them see me.

I finally made it to the nearest hospital in that area. I wander around, trying to find the surgical area. Well, shit, I'm lost again. I was about to turn around when I saw a blonde boy crying outside. He had his knees up and hugged them like they would run away once he let go of them. Mikey? I walked over to him and sat beside him.

"Go away," Mikey said, looking away from me so I wouldn't see his tears.

"It's not good to be alone at a time like this," I replied

"I SAID GO!"

"I'm not here to judge you or make your life miserable. For right now, just for a moment, can we pretend we aren't enemies."

I spotted Mikey's jacket on the ground next to him, and I place it on top of his face.

"It's cold." I pause for a second, thinking of the right words to say, "You don't have to play tough, nobody's here to see, and I can't see you under my jacket, so if you need to cry, if you need a break from being a leader, you can do it now. When you're hidden under your jacket like that, nobody can see you, even me, and I don't believe what I can't see."

I look up at the sky and breathe in the cold air. I can feel it fill up my lungs. It was refreshing but suffocating at the same time. I could hear Mikey's sobs under the jacket. I understand what it's like to lose someone you care about. My bro- no, it's no time to think about him right now.

"I'll keep you company until you go back inside," I said. I want Mikey to know that I'm here, but I didn't want to comfort him because he seemed to want to deal with this alone, and I'll respect that. So, for now, I'll just sit here in silence staring at the night sky.

Analisis

The reason Y/N is now connected to Toman is because of Takemichi. If Takemichi never started hanging out with Toman and wasn't in the first fight with Osanai and Pah chin, Y/N wouldn't have a reason to be interested in Toman, and she wouldn't have known Baji was in Toman.

If Takemichi weren't there to tell Mitsuy about the battle it would have just been Mikey and Draken against Moebius, causing Draken to die. Then Y/N would have been blamed for his murder. Since Takemichi told Mistuya about August 3rd and Mistuya called for backup, it wasn't just Mikey and Draken vs. Moebius. And Since Mikey trusts Takemichi, Mikey didn't accuse Y/N of hurting Draken when he saw Draken on the floor bleeding.

That's the end of the August 3rd battle. I hope you all enjoyed this two-part chapter/ double post. I wanted to post this because I don't think I will be posting over the holidays since I have to complete the 50 missing assignments that I have (>ლ) but once the holidays are over be ready for more content!

Happy Holidays 🎁 ('▽'ʃ♡ƪ)
