But where was he?

"By the way... where's Mikey?" Takemichi asked.

There was a small silence before Draken spoke up.

"Mikey is currently managing a restaurant overseas!" Draken answered with a small smile.

"His restaurant is a huge success! He really wanted to come over today, but he's busy and his work load held him back." Chifuyu also answered the raven head.

"I see, that's so cool! I should visit it sometime." Takemichi said with a huge grin.

"Mikey really wanted to see you." Draken answered with a smile and this gave takemichi butterflies in his stomach.

"Well that's Mikey for you!" Takemichi answered with a grin and a small tint of blush.

Looks like I'm still living in that same apartment. Takemichi thought to himself as he opens the door.

"What a dirty room!" he said out loud. "All right! Let's start cleaning!" he exclaimed as he prepares himself.

But, I'm happy right now... I miss him though... Takemichi thought to himself and proceeded with cleaning.

_____________________________________________

A few days later, takemichi was in his apartment eating as he watches the news, laying down sideways as his hand supported his head to look at the TV.

"In Tokyo, the conflict with a group named 'Bonten' intensifies as they continue to harm the public." A news caster sounded from the TV.

"Kinda reminds me of Toman, but Toman is long gone so..." Takemichi trailed off as he continues eating.

"Here is an exclusive footage of Bonten and its members at the FNN Club" The news caster said as they show a footage of a group of men coming out of a club.

...? That Tattoo Design? I swear I've seen that before... Takemichi thought to himself.

"That white haired man, why does he seem so familiar?" Takemichi said to himself as he looks intently at the footage shown.

[Time skip to the part where Mikey jumps off and gets caught by Takemichi (chapter 204 in the manga)]

"I won't let you die here!" Takemichi yelled as he caught Mikey who was falling to his death.

"Quick! Grab onto my hand!" Takemichi shouted as blood drips from his mouth and nose to Mikey's face.

"This is stupid... I tried to kill you, yknow? Yet..." Mikey calmly said.

"Mikey kun... There's not much time left... I'm losing consciousness..." Takemichi spoke shakily.

"Let go of your hand, I want to end everything right here, eight now." Mikey said eerily calm.

"Come now... You'll regret doing that... Mikey kun... Quick... Quick... I will definitely save you... No matter what... I'll go back to the past as many times... As much as I can..." Takemichi choked on his own blood.

"What are you talking about? You can't go back anymore, right? This is why I never wanted to meet you; I didn't want this to happen. I literally just shot you..." Mikey said, staring at takemichi.

"Takemitchy... Please put me in peace..." Mikey pleaded emotionlessly but pain obvious in his voice.

"SHUT UP!!!" Takemichi screamed at Mikey and this caught him by surprise.

"Why are you always like this! Always and always! You ALWAYS put the burden on yourself!!! OI MANJIROU! Just say it ONCE!! JUST SAY "PLEASE HELP ME!" DAMN IT!" Takemichi yelled with so much emotion as he grips Mikey's wrist.

"And I'll definitely come and save you!" Takemichi smiled at him as tears fell from his eyes. "And Manjirou, I really love you... So much so you can't die yet!" Takemichi added.

Mikey then cried as he looks at takemichi and gripped his hand back yet slowly slipped.

"Please help me... Takemitchy!" Mikey said shakily said as both of their hands meet.

Huh? Takemichi thought as he slowly loses vision of the current situation and felt the familiar tingling feeling on his hand.

"Huh?" Takemichi said out loud as he sits up from a soft fabric.

"My bed? Why does my hand look small?? Huh, where am I??" takemichi asked himself as he looks around to what seems to be his room.

"Why does it look so... Childish- wait what year is it??" Takemichi panicked as he gets out of bed and look at a calendar and see the year.

"It's June 4th 2003?? I didn't travel back 12 years but 15 years back??" Takemichi said as he runs to the bathroom to look at himself and see his hair that looks like it hasn't been dyed yet.

"Huh, my hair is still black- of course it is! I'm still a kid- damn, I'll keep my hair like this then..." Takemichi mumbled to himself.

He then goes out of the bathroom and looks around his room and the living room.

"Oh yea, I was already living alone at this time since mom and dad are busy and always overseas... Looks like the money is there." Takemichi said to himself as he looks at the dinner table where an envelope with money laid. It was a lot of money that was supposed to last me a few months.

Takemichi then slaps himself and rushes to his room.

"This one needs a makeover and so does my closet! We'll do that tomorrow but right now let's write down everything I know about the future since my trigger is Mikey, I don't think I can just randomly go to the future. I only have one try..." Takemichi said to himself as he goes to his table and writes down the events.

"Shinichiro dies at August 14th this year and this was the trigger of Mikey's dark impulsivity... Then I just have to prevent that so Kazutora doesn't go to the Juvie with Baji and the battle with Valhalla might not happen..." Takemichi writes it down.

"Then the fight with Moebious where Pah-chin gets arrested in 2005...... Then on August 3rd, 2005, on the night of the festival is when Draken gets stabbed... I prevented it last time but let's try to prevent it fully this time." Takemichi listed on another piece of paper.

"Then the 'Bloody Halloween' on October 31st, 2005, the day Baji dies.... Now if I fail to prevent Shinichiro's death this might happen..." Takemichi lists it down.

"Then after the bloody Halloween came the 'Holy night' or 'The Conflict on Christmas'... This was on December 25th...This is when I fought Taiju and at some point, declared to take over the black dragons, though after the fight I actually became the 11th leader of it." Takemichi takes note of this.

"Then came the battle with Tenjiku, this was the last battle Toman had... And this is where Mikey gets to know about his brother... I have to save Emma and Izana here... And let's hope that everything will be okay from then..." Takemichi writes then puts down the notebook filled with events, from the smallest bit, to the minor ones, to the major events.

He finally relaxes and sits on his chair leaning back but then freezes and blushes.

Holy shit- I CONFESSED TO MIKEY IN THE FUTURE! How could I forget it??? O M G, I was so focused on the events and me suddenly here that I forgot about that part!! I'm so relieved that it was on the future. Takemichi panics over what happened.

"What a way to confess though... But I have one more chance to change everything so I'll go through it again...

"Once more, For you"
