Nineteen

                                    

                                          
The door opens, as Draken walks into the room. Man, your room was busy. 
                          
"Oh, hey Draken," you said. 
                          
"Yo. How are you doing now?" He asked. 
                          
"I'm much better today, I'm hoping to be released today," you said. "It still hurts but I've gone through worse at this point."
                          
"That's good. Anyways, I came to give you my thanks, for everything. I owe you one," Draken said. "I'll pay you back one day."
                          
"Don't you end up dying on me though," you said. "I'll kill you if you do."
                          
"Pfft, I'll be dead before you kill me," Draken said, laughing. 
                          
"That's the point, you dummy," you said, smacking his shoulder. "If you die, I'll resurrect you, just to kill you again." you flashed him a wide smile. 
                          
"Well, good luck with that," Draken said, leaving. "There's a meeting tonight, and you need to be there, so make sure you're there, or imma kidnap you from this hospital. Thanks for saving me again." He closed the door slowly behind him. 
                          
A couple hours after Draken left, the nurses finally gave me one last check-up before giving me the all-clear. You gave a quick call to Sanzu. 
                          
"I'm discharged!" you said. "Can you come and pick me up now?"
                          
"Sure, be there in 10 minutes so sit tight," Sanzu replied. 
                          
You hung up the phone and sat against the wall, sitting on the floor, relaxing your body. You look up to the sky, being able to enjoy the sunlight hitting your face. The light breeze rushing through your hair, and the sun hitting your face was the best thing you could ask for in the moment. You heard the sound of a motorbike in the distance. You peeked open your eyes and watched Sanzu riding his bike towards you, pulling up just a couple of metres away. 
                          
"Let's go to the meeting sweetheart," Sanzu said. You quickly grew attached to this name.
                          
"Sweetheart?" you questioned.
                          
"What you don't like it?" he asked as you hopped onto his bike, wrapping your arms around his waist.
                          
"I never said that," you said, nuzzling your face into his back. The bike left the hospital, and you fell asleep on the way there. 





                          
You woke up, in Sanzu's arms and his jacket draped over your body. You just snuggled into his chest, groaning and mumbling incoherent words. 
                          
"Sweetheart, the meeting is going to start soon, get up," Sanzu whispered kindly. 
                          
"No," you said, as Sanzu put you down on the ground.
                          
"Fine, suit yourself," he said, as you curled up on the floor. You fell asleep again, not caring what was going on.

                          
SANZU POV
                          
I looked down at my feet, watching how soundly Y/N was sleeping on the floor. I wrapped my jumper around her better, so she wouldn't catch a cold. The last thing she needs after being treated at the hospital is a cold. 
                          
"Geez, we get it you lovebirds," Mucho whispered to me. I gave him a small side glance before internally chuckling.
                          
"The nomination for the Tokyo Manji Gang's third division will now begin," Draken yelled.
                          
"Third division captain! Step forward!" Mikey yelled. The sound of heavy boots clapped against the stone floor, walking towards the front of the group. Kisaki Tetta. I had nothing personal against him. He just seemed to be too smart to be in a gang like this. He stood in front of Mikey, and turned his back and sat down on the steps in front of him. The disrespect. 
                          
The sounds of the gang members resonated around the shrine.
                          
"What's your problem asshole?"
                          
"Don't act like your hot shit!"
                          
"Get out!"
                          
"Get the fuck out, Moebius!!"

                          
"Shut up!!" Draken yelled. "It's Mikey's decision, if you've got a problem, then step forward."
                          
No one makes a move. 
                          
"Our gang is going to challenge Valhalla. Valhalla is rising in power, with numbers more than we can ever imagine. To beat them, Touman's got to become more powerful. With new recruits, like Tetta Kisaki, we have numbers to beat Valhalla. Remember that! With that, the meeting is dismissed." Mikey yells.
                          
I see Takemichi out of the corner of my eye, running towards Kisaki, and landing a punch on his cheek, his glasses flying off. 
                          
"Damn," I whisper to myself. 
                          
"Hey hey, what's going on now? Things just got real interesting." Baji says. He walks up slowly to Takemichi, punching him in the face. Just as he was about to land another one, Mitsuya stops him.
                          
"That's enough, Baji." He says. 
                          
"Let go Mitsuya. I'll kill you," Baji says. 
                          
"You wanna go, bastard?" Mitsuya responds.
                          
"MIKEY!" Baji yells, ignoring Mitsuya's comment.
                          
"Why are you here Baji? Ever since you caused infighting with the gang, you've been banned from gang meetings," Mikey responds calmly.
                          
"I just punched another shitty brat," Baji states. "Since I ruined your precious gang meeting, are you gonna throw me out?" Mikey says nothing.
                          
"I'm leaving Touman to join Valhalla. From now on, First Division Captain Keisuke Baji will be Touman's enemy!" Baji declares.
                          
"Touman's falling apart." Kisaki smiles. 
                          
Everyone had left by this point. I was poking at Y/N's sleeping cheeks when Kisaki stands.
                          
Kisaki walks up to me, and kick Y/N's head 'by accident'.
                          
I see Y/N curl up more, slowly waking up, taking a defensive position, ducking her head as much as she can into her body.
                          
"What the fuck do you want Sanzu," she groans thinking it was me. 
                          
Kisaki grabs her hair, pulling her face up towards his. I step in.
                          
"I think that's enough Kisaki," I say, holding his wrist. 
                          
"Who are you to tell me off, when your precious girl is sleeping on the floor in front of Mikey in a gang meeting?" He says.
                          
"That was her decision, not mine. But I'm gonna protect her so take your filthy hands off her hair. Do you wanna-" I was cut off by Y/N tapping my hand, telling me to let go of his wrist. I comply with her commands. 
                          
"Are you the asshole that woke me up?" She says.
                          
"So what if I am bitch?" Kisaki says, pulling her hair up even higher. Y/N stands up, loosening his grip on her hair. I hear her mumbling. 
                          
"I... got stabbed...deal...fucking idiot...underestimate me...still strong.." (I just got stabbed and I have to deal with this fucking idiot. Don't underestimate me, I'm still strong) She says.
                          
She grabs his wrist which was holding onto her hair, and pulled him towards her, as she elbowed him in the stomach. As Kisaki bent down, clutching his stomach, I watched as she dropped her heel swinging onto the top of his head. He fell to the ground, unconscious. I smile at her, proud. She looks back at me and holds her hand up, wanting a high-five. I give her one. 
                          
"That's my girl," I say, whispering into her ear, loud enough for her to listen. I watch as she turns bright pink, but that soon disappears as Kisaki's right-hand man walks up to us. He leans down to our level (he's like two heads taller than both Sanzu and Y/N) and whispers to us. 
                          
"Since we caused enough trouble, we'll forget this incident for now, but we'll get you back again." He said, grabbing Kisaki's unconscious body out of the meeting. 

                          
...


                          
"Y/N!" I loudly whisper in her ear. "Oi, Y/N!" She finally looks in my direction. I hit the back of her head lightly. "Stop daydreaming," I say, grabbing her wrist and dragging her to the nearby bushes. We were listening into a conversation, between no one other than Mikey and Takemichi.
