~A Void~

??Chapter 51??

Takemichi felt as if he could die on the spot from how blank yet cold the stare was.

"Y-Yeah...!" Takemichi quickly nodded.

"I see. Anyways, about my call earlier...Why'd you hang up?" Izana asked.

"My finger slipped, y'know! There was a huge wasp and it came right at me." Mikey replied.

"Okay. I guess that makes sense. But, let's return to my question, shall we? Where is Y/n?" Izana asked.

"We have no idea! Right, Takemitchy?" Mikey answered, his eyes darting to the fake blonde.

"Yeah, we have no idea!" Takemichi nodded rapidly.

"I didn't ask if you knew where she was. I'm asking you to tell me where she's at." Izana said, his grip on Mikey's shoulder tightening.

"Huh?" Mikey and Takemichi paused.

"I know very well that you are aware of her whereabouts. Where is she?" Izana asked.

Well, it was more of a demand actually.

Mikey opened his mouth to refute the statement but Izana gave him a look that told him he knew that they knew of Y/n's whereabouts.

"She..." Mikey muttered.

"Uhhh..." Takemichi uttered while taking a nervous step back.

"She went to fight another gang that just so happens to have a leader who is friends with her parents! But that leader is actually a bad guy and is completely messing up Y/n's life which is why she wants to end him! We would have gone with her but she didn't let us, saying that she doesn't want us or anyone else to get hurt and that the fight is hers alone!" He exclaimed when Izana moved and gripped his hair tightly.

"What?" Izana froze.

"Loosen your grip, man!" Mikey shouted as he and Takemichi winced.

"Where is the fight?" Izana harshly shook them.

"Y/n didn't tell us! She left not too long ago! 20 minutes ago, I think! We just got back after seeing her off!" Mikey shouted.

"You imbeciles! Why would you let her go to a fight alone?!" Izana exclaimed.

"Well...she's not actually alone because after disbanding Toman, she began making her own gang and named it Chi No Bara-" Takemichi reasoned before seeing the look on Izana's face.

"Maybe I should stop talking..." He muttered.

"You two are coming with me to find her." Izana clicked his tongue as he began dragging them.

"If what you two said was right, then I have a hunch on who the person is. Hiromi mentioned them before. The gang Y/n is going against plays dirty and will do anything for victory. They may even take weapons since they have access to any and every." He said.

"Huh? Does that include...?" Takemichi muttered as his eyes widened.

"Yeah. A gun too." Izana grit his teeth.

"I'm surprised you were able to get up here. I know how you old people complain about back pain." Y/n said as she stood on a still train.

It was quite high from the ground, but it was ideal since Y/n didn't want to risk anyone else getting involved in her scuffle with Mukon.

"That's rude. Your father would say he taught you better." Mukon dramatically sighed.

"And my mother would say that the comment was well deserved." Y/n followed.

"She was always an eccentric kinda gal. You remind me of her sometimes." Mukon chuckled.
