I was on a train with none other than Matsuno Chifuyu, current acting Captain of 1st Division of Toman. He was with me on a wild journey to Yotsuya to find Ryusei Sato.
Ryusei Sato was the second vice-captain of the 1st Division after Kazutora, a former former member of Yotsuya Kaidan.
Chifuyu had an unfulfilled obligation to bring back Ryusei. He was a person who was among Baji's closest people. He would not rest if this was a shot to bring back Baji to Toman.
Chifuyu was still on the fence about this whole situation. First, as to how a newbie knew about Yotsuya Kaidan and 1st Divisions relationship. How he knew about Ryusei Sato. Most importantly why he was so confident he could bring back Baji Keisuke, one of the most bullheaded people back from whatever he was doing.
Chifuyu asked, "Why are we going to Yotsuya?"
Takemichi replied, "Because it serves two of my purposes. One, bring Baji back, two, and defeat a gang."
Chifuyu didn't expect this and asked even more confused than he was before, "To explain, I have to bring Baji back or else Mikey will kill me. Unreasonable, but if I bring him back, I get my own division."
To this, he replied, "Well, you know how every captain has defeated a gang or had a gang, right? So if I become captain, I need my own solid history. Saving Draken was good, but defeating a gang is much better. Now, do you understand?"
Chifuyu nodded once he realized, but asked just to kill time, "1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions are founders and have defeated the 9th Generation Black Dragons, 4th Divisions Kawata Twins have defeated multiple gangs of their region, but the fifth has gang or crew ties. So, are you saying the most powerful division has no accomplishments?"
Takemichi looked weirdly at Chifuyu, before replying, "The fifth division is incharge of internal issues of Toman, they also have the power to initiate internal conflicts if it's in the best interests of the gang. Mikey gave Muto the role because he thought he was capable, also Muto did have previous ties, another gang of Yokohama called S-62. It was a gang that had the famous Haitani Brothers of Roppongi, among other powerhouses. So right now, the 5th division is the most accomplished division for having a powerhouse like Muto." After finishing his piece, knowing the impact of what he said had, he went to sleep.
Chifuyu was shocked. He was in Toman for over a year and still didn't know as much as Hanagaki did. Just what us this guy going to pull off once they reach Yotsuya.
They sat in silence for a while before the announcement that they would arrive in Yotsuya in a while was being said on the announcement system of the train.
They got off and walked to a cafe outside the train station. They sat down to discuss their next course of action.
"One of Yotsuya's bases is in an indoor baseball arena. It's a few minutes' walk from here. After that, what?" Chifuyu said
Takemichi replied, "We storm the fort."
Chifuyu gave a blank stare, "What does that even mean?"
Takemichi sighed, "It means we go in and beat them up. Then we call up the big dogs of Yotsuya Kaidan. Then we beat them up, too. And force Ryusei back to Toman. Ryusei helps bring back Baji. Simple, hard to screw this. Okay? Any questions?"
"Yeah. How will you convince Ryusei to leave Yotsuya? And how will he convince Baji to stay?"
Takemichi smirked and said, "Leave that to me. Let's go. We're on a short clock."
And they were off.
A while later, after many crossings and ramming into people, they arrived at the arena.
Takemichi pulled up the half closed shutter and walked in, noticed around ten or more gang members, and heard a continuous thumping sound.
A boy, fourteen or fifteen, came up to Takemichi trying to be menacing in his oversized Yotsuya Kaidan coat. "Hey! What the fuck do you think your doing here? The place is closed."
Chifuyu was about to say something, but before he could, Takemichi rammed his fist into the boys face knocking him out cold.
The others noticed this and came forward, a big fat boy at the front, "Do t let them leave unharmed! Show them the wrath of Yotsuya Kaidan! Charge!"
Takemichi Pov:
This type of fight may have left me scared shitless before, before my first leap that is, but gradually I developed a tolerance for pain, then I learnt to fight back, so when I say this fight was as easy as picking my nose, I mean it. I haven't even struggled against the executives of Final variation of Bonten, I won't lose my shit against a few small fries.
I struck the first one in front with a tightened fist square in the chest, blowing his air of his lung and knocking him out in the process, the rest fell as easily, with Chifuyu just watching with a dropped jaw and surprise expression on his face. The surprise was probably because I was supposed to be an inexperienced fighter. I was a newbie that had been beaten to a pulp by Baji, nothing more. So seeing me fight like an experienced fighter left room for surprise of the vice-captain of the 1st Division.
Once I was done, I saw the unmoving forms the Yotsuya Kaidan members. I looked back at Chifuyu and said while yawning, "Please, feel free to do deal with the next wave, yeah?"
He nodded still surprised, we walked into the antechamber with baseball pitch to see a few things I already knew to expect.
Yotsuya Kaidan was easily a brutal gang, after Moebius and S-62 of course. Yotsuya Kaidan was a group of bullies, who have a habit of shooting baseballs at their enemies or people who annoy them all the while the target is tied to a chair. This was an effective way to interrogate a few of the Bonten Executives as I had come to find out.
I walked in to see, a mammoth of a man doing it to some blond haired kid tied to a chair.
It was Hachiouzi, the third in command of Yotsuya Kaidan.
He turned to me, he opened his mouth to say something, but before he could even utter a syllable a blond haired missile shot past me and landed a kick right in the big man's face. I was surprised. Not really. I knew of the relationship between Yotsuya Kaidan and 1st Division Toman, but for Chifuyu to react on sight like that, even in the past leaps I haven't seen Chifuyu this mad. His forehead vein pulsing, eyes trained on Hachiouzi, blows landing in such quick succession, that he could not respond. But he did eventually, he landed a punch on Chifuyu's face that made him stagger back. I wanted to see how far they would take it before I had to step in. They kept exchanging blows.
Chifuyu grounded out, while landing another blow, "Didn't think you would still live this long with that negative IQ of yours, asshole."
Hachiouzi replied while laughing, "Sorry, couldn't hear you from all the way down there, bitch."
After that exchange they returned to exchanging blows. I was about to lean before I heard a commotion, I turned to see a few more members of Yotsuya Kaidan walk in.
Around, I guess, thirty walked in, I took off on sight and started to punch and kick everyone on sight, I heard a rather loud thud, everyone turned to see Chifuyu ram down Hachiouzi's head onto the floor and knock him out clean. He looked at the crowd he hadn't seen before and asked me, "Need a hand?"
Well, who was I to refuse.
