?Chapter 17?

"Bye-bye, Yuki!" Y/n waved.

"Bye-bye!" Yuki smiled, waving his hands as he watched them leave.

Y/n, Emma, and Mikey soon arrived at the graveyard. As they approached Shinichiro's resting place, they saw Inui, Takemichi, and Izana.

"Mikey-kun?! Y/n?!" Takemitchy shouted, surprised.

"Huh? What's going on?" Emma asked, peeking from Mikey's right side.

"What're you three doing? If you guys are fighting, go somewhere else. It's rude to do that here." Y/n added, peeking from Mikey's left side and Cat peeking out from her scarf.

"Woah, visiting the grave with your beloved sister and friend?" Izana smiled, looking over at them.

"Mikey..." Inui muttered.

"Oh. You're the guy from the other day. Izana, right? Why'd you disappear?" Y/n asked while Izana only smiled at her.

"Huh?! You've met him before, Y/n?!" Takemichi gasped.

"Yeah. Weren't you listening? I just said that a few seconds ago." Y/n rose a brow.

"It's nice to see you again, Y/n. Would you like to take a walk with me?" Izana steeped forward, his face leaning towards hers with a smile.

Y/n blinked and then felt a tug on hurt arm, Mikey stepping in front of her with a serious expression.

"Takemitchy..." Mikey said. "Take Y/n and Emma away!"

And now, Y/n stood with Emma and Takemichi, outside the graveyard.

"That guy is my third brother, isn't he? Izana?" Emma questioned.

"Huh? Brother? You have another one?" Y/n asked, to which the blonde nodded.

"I told you, remember?"

"Hmm...oh. Now I remember." Y/n tapped her chin.

"So...There's going to be a fight, right?" Emma asked.

"Maybe..." Takemichi replied.

"Do boys do nothing but fight each other?" Emma huffed, a bit annoyed.

"Huh?" Y/n and Takemichi questioned.

"Captain of the Tokyo Manji Gang, the undefeatable Mikey. Mikey shows nothing but strength in front of everyone. Even when his brother died, no matter what, Mikey will never show his weakness, not to anyone." Emma said.

"Yeah...You are right." Takemichi said.

"But, in reality, up until now, he still can't sleep without his dirty old towel. He's still a weak boy. So are you, Y/n, and me. So whenever there is trouble, I'll help Mikey no matter what! Just like how Mikey always does!" Emma smiled.

Y/n was silent before chuckling, surprising Emma and Takemichi.

"Man, I don't know what I'd do without my friends. Looks like I finally realized that I do care for you all a lot. I'd do anything to make sure you all are safe! I care about you all." Y/n looked at them, smiling.

Takemichi and Emma stared at her in silence before wailing.

"You're so kind, Y/n!! We love you too!!" They said, clinging to her.

"Hey-! Let me go! I take it back now!" Y/n said, her face hot as she tried to push them off her.

When they finally called down, they stood in comfortable silence.

"Man! That was cool of me and Y/n, wasn't it?" Emma grinned.

Takemichi had a conflicted expression, his thoughts running wild. Y/n noticed this and sent him a confused glance.
