Chapter 27

My back hurts cause by the fall earlier. That was very high and dangerous, there is 100 percent that I could die with that but Mikey was there so I didn't.

"Why'd you fall to that very top?" Mikey break the silence

I get up and help him stand up, "Sort of a fight"

"Why did it end to here?" He muttered

I pulled him a hug, "I thought you died! Baka!!" I showed a bit tears

He pat my back, "I was sure you're going to make it but I didn't realize that would lead to something like this"

So I told him everything, my encounter with Yiruma and Totsuki, Draken getting hospitalized, and the situation happening now

"Why are you making careless decision on your own? Now I understand why this is happening" he scolded me

"But it's the only way to save everyone" I quarreled back

"Have you heard their side, you think that would solve everything, no—you are wrong, there is a lot of chances that they won't keep their word, and chances that toman will get you back even it cost death" Mikey clearly said

"But you are not here, I wasn't so sure if I'm doing the right thing or the wrong thing" I said

"I'm going in" he mumbled

And he did went inside, he told me to stay here with the other toman members

Moments later Smiley and Angry came

"What's going on inside?" I asked

"Mikey ordered us to guard you" said Angry

"His finally back I really thought he died, but glad to finally bring you back with us again y/n" said Smiley

"I'm sorry for deciding on my own" I uttered

Smiley smacked my back— totally hurts

"That wasn't so bad— the fight I mean right Angry" said Smiley and wink at Angry's side

"Yes, I supposed" Angry muttered

"The commander is back but we've got a problem" it was Hakkai who joined us

"Problem?" I muttered

Hakkai nodded his head, "Totsuki Kanta is missing, he got away"

Totsuki Kanta got away. Is it planned from the very beginning.

"Y/n, Y/n, Y/n" Mitsuya came rushing to check on me

He was gasping so deeply, his shoulder is still bleeding

"Glad you are fine"

"What about Mahi?" I asked him

"Mikey and Draken handled them" it was Baji Keisuke

Baji pulled me and hugged me tightly

"Baji..."

"You little, how come you decided like that, I don't want to lose anymore family" he cried

He did cried, "Cry baby huh!" It was Smiley

"Shut Up!" Baji shyly mumbled

For a little while everyone from toman arrived and gathered around including Mikey 

"Today's battle is toman's win" Mikey shouted

"AAAHHHHH" they all shouted

I was kinda happy about that

"We got y/n back and so our Commander, isn't this the time to celebrate" Draken requested

"It isn't the time to celebrate but I guess a little drink with everyone would do" Mikey said and I saw this smile of his that I dealry miss all this time

We get out of the place, Hakkai Shiba and Takemichi Hanagaki help me out

I went home together with Baji before going to Mikey's place for the little event's venue

I was taking a bath changes my clothes and went to the living room to get water, I had seen Baji waiting at the living room, I sat across his way

"You see— I never told you this but while you were away and only go home for a little while, I met Totsuki Kanta just right here inside this house, I don't know how he got here but this place isn't safe anymore" I explained to Baji

He seems to get what I'm saying, "You should have told me sooner" he mumbled

"I was about to tell you back then but you were so busy and I decided to solve it on my own, but being alone doesn't solve everything, I was wrong" I admitted

He approached me and patted my head, "Let's get going, I'm sure he wants to see you more than I do"

I don't know who he was implying to but he grabbed my hand, and we ride his motorcycle and went to Sano Residence

All toman's here, even Emma, Hinata and Yuzuha

"Finally here Baji, y/n"

"Drink~ Drink~"

The party has started, we are late but it's okay we still got the fun going

I sat next to Emma I was in between her and Draken, I guess I interrupted them

"Got something really good today Draken" I bump on his shoulder

I was teasing him, I just saw him talking to Emma a while ago

"Yeah, got interrupted" he uttered

"It's okay y/n we have a lot of opportunities" Emma claimed

But I wasn't that evil, so I decided to left them together again

I saw a lonely Mikey on one table without anyone with him, I approached him and he was sulking

"Why are you sulking?" I asked

"They didn't left me any sits" he said

"What? Why?" I said and poured him a drink

"They set me up!!!, But I love it" his mood changed so fast

He flashes a smile at me, he poured me the vacant glass a sweet sake and handed to me, I recieve that and take my sip, it was so good

He then get the vacant plate put a lot of dishes and handed it to me, I oonce again reached for that and eat, and as usual I'm impressed, I can immediately recognized Emma, Hinata and Yuzuha's cooking

"Y/n, for those days that I was away, I've learnt something" he opened up

"What is it?" I said with confusion

He look at me in the eye and I can see through his eyes that he was about to say something important, "I just entered a new world"

I was dearly moved and surprised, "W—what?"

"Y/n's from a different world" he muttered

I was in a complete shock, "How did you know?"

"It's strange that you act differently but with that incident I found the truth about you, When I was about to die I saw a white portal I entered that and found myself in a whole different place, it's like the place we went was a totally different one and that was your world, and then when I was so hopelessly injured and suffering from the wound a doctor named Yurima Kousei helped me, your mother"

The next thing I knew I cried when I heard my mother's name coming to his voice, "M-mother"

"I found myself lying on a different room and saw you pictures and your mother notices that, she then let me see her daughter who is been in a coma for almost a year now, and that was you"

"I am alive???" I muttered

"You are but in a critical way" Mikey said

"How's my mother doing? What about my father and friends?" I asked

I miss them so much, but I got used to this life

"They are fine and lively but they missed you" he honestly said

I wipe my tears and continue to eat and drink

"I can't go back even if I want to" I mumbled

"If you can go back to your own world, would you go?"

I was bothered by that question but I know my heart pretty well than my brain

And my answer was, "I will"

He showed disappointment

"I would like to see them one last time and finally bid my goodbyes"

"Won't you stay?"

"No, I got used to this place and I have a lot of people to protect and wanted to know better, and there are some that I cannot let go"

He felt relieved somehow, "Eat more"

He poured my plate more food

"There is something I'd like you to know" I bluntly said

"What is it? Take your time?" He mumbled as he noticed that I was scrabbling words out of my mind

I drink the sweetened sake, all of it

And finally gathered a lot of courage and determination

"Manjiro... I've always like you... always" my cheeks redden when that pop out on my mouth

I get courage to said that towards him and only see his reaction as blank

And it seems like Draken and Emma heard it but the others didn't

I noticed that Draken and Emma smiled and was rooting for this

But all I see is a dumbfounded Mikey and his blank expression

"CAN ANYONE GIVE US ANOTHER BOTTLE OF SWEETENED SAKE" I highered my voice waving the bottle of sweetened sake in the mid air

Takemitchi came running and handed me a new bottle of sweetened sake

"Here you go Y/n-san"

"Arigaotuna Takemichi"

He went back to his sit, I opened the sake and poured my glass and Mikey's glass

IT WAS SO AWKWARD!!!!!

TOO QUIET!!!

I moved my chopsticks and given his plate food

"You better eat" I mumbled

I give his plate a lot of food I think he might not eat it all

Suddenly he grabbed my hand, I look a him and he smiled at me genuinely

"I like you for a very long time Y/n, but I've fallen to the current y/n more than I do to the last y/n"

I was dumbfounded and my cheeks is almost like a tomato now, not because of embarrassment or awkwardness but because of those words he said, I felt so happy that I don't even know what to say next

He let go of my hand and I just eat

I only can assure one thing— we have mutual feelings

I can see that he ain't lying about what he had said, that he likes the me now more than before

And that really made me so happy

So happy that I almost choked myself from eating too much

Mikey can really make me happy and whenever I'm with him I felt protected

That's why, "Thank you, Mikey" I smiled with opened eyes while directly looking to both of his piercing eyes
