"It's almost Mikey's birthday."

Shinichiro stops his tinkering on the bike he's working on. He turned his head towards a girl with a grin on his face.

"Do you think Mikey will be happy with receiving this baby as his gift?" He asked her, head turning back to face the motorcycle again.

The 12 year old [Y/n] looked at the black haired man with no emotion on her face. "Beats me." Was her short reply making Shin sniffle at her coldness.

"...It's a gift from you," The girl trails as her lips curled up into a smile that looked gentle. "I'm sure Manjiro would be overjoyed, especially with the fact that his older brother is the one who gave it."

Shin looked at her, his mouth slightly agape before showing a toothy grin. "You think so?"

[Y/n] scoffs and rolled her eyes as she remarked with a, "Knowing Manjiro, of course."

The man lets out a hearty laugh. "Well, if you want you can join me tonight in surprising Manjiro because I know he'll be over the moon with you here."

"Pass." Rejects the little girl as she hops down on the stool. "I don't wanna ruin your moment or the bromance."

"You say weird things most of the time." Shin comments with a light shake of his head. "Who do you even learn those words from...tell me so I can teach them a lesson.."

[Y/n] silently stared at him for a few seconds which confused Shinichiro a little and wondered if some dirt got on his face.

"Anyways, It's time for me to go home and have dinner." She announced, obviously ignoring his question with a small salute of her hand and a slight curl of her lips, a smirk on her face.

The black haired man deadpans an expression at her while she watching as she head towards the door, and right when she pushed it open after stopping in her tracks, she turned her head to look at her older friend again.

"...If you're planning to stay late here, call Wakasa or Keizo for some company at least."

"What about Takeomi?" Shin asked and he sweat dropped as he saw the little girl scowl. "Do you still hate him that much..?"

"I still have mix feelings, but let the old guy focus on his siblings." She replied before waving her hand and bidding her last goodbye as she left his shop.

Now, currently, 1:14 am...The [h/c] child laid in her bed and blankly stared at the ceiling. "Should I go? Should I interfere? Will it be alright to change...twist the story?" She inquired her questions all out loud with guilt evident in her eyes.

"I'm afraid that my actions will not only cause trouble to me alone but also to the people I care about..." She slowly closed her eyes as sleep gets to her.

"What if that ends up as the consequence I have to face?"

And so the girl fell asleep...not knowing that she'll up end regretting about it, especially when she hesitated.

3:05 am.

[Y/n] woke up due to a nightmare she had regarding about her little brother. She remembers the dream so clearly as if it really happened.

Not only was it terrifying, but also horrifyingly...disturbing.

Akio, who's 16 years old was badly injured. Blood bruises, and dirt was everywhere all around his body and clothes. His head was bleeding pretty badly too and he was being rushed inside the emergency room.

The only thing the 22 year old girl could do in the dream was wait alone outside the operating room for the doctor and deliver a good news but...

"He's alright...but due to how long the lack of oxygen his head received, your brother's been put into a coma state." The doctor told her with a sympathetic look. "If that boy was only brought here a bit more sooner, then he wouldn't be like that.."

Hearing the news made her feel like her heart dropped to her stomach. She felt dizzy as she starts to falter due to how her legs almost gave out on her.

She felt nauseous and she suddenly found it hard to breathe as she hung her head low. It seems like in that dream...Akio's the only family she has left.

The man then let out a sigh. "Well, did the police catch the culprit who did that to your brother at least?" He asked which made made [Y/n] raise her head and slowly shake her head.

"...You saw how bad his bruises were, right? That wasn't simply done by just punching or kicking with some strength." He starts to explain. "He was also beaten up by a bat, a metal one at that. I know because I've seen a lot for the past 26 years."

The old doctor let out another sigh as he felt pity and sadness for the girl who looked sorrowful but in a daze at the moment.

"It's either your brother messed with some bad people or he simply got...picked on." He glances at [Y/n] and pats her shoulder for a bit of comfort at least.

"Take care of yourself now, young lady.."

As the old man left, the next scene turned into something horrifying.

There laid dead bodies on the ground as blood was all over the place. Their face was unrecognizable...and their body, too...they were practically disfigured.

And somewhere in that room, two people stood was inside there, well three as that last person alive was also getting the same treatment as his previous friends.

He was crying and begging for the [h/c] woman to stop and have mercy on him but his cries and pleads fell deaf upon her ears just like how she did from the previous ones.

She kept going and going as the sound of crunching bones echoed in the room. More blood splattered in the place as well as onto her which of course she didn't care about since she just continued to hit the man with her weapon, a metal bat.

Her eyes looked cold, sharp, held no sympathy or whatsoever for the person...she was indeed aiming to kill him like his 4 friends so there was no need as she thinks so.

And her [e/c] eyes no longer had the same beautiful spark in it...as it only has death.

[Y/n] finally stopped with what she was doing as the guy was now silent. Dead. "It seems like I don't deserve to live a happy life..." she mumbled to herself.

"No matter what I do...the ending still played out the same." The person who was watching from the start tilts their head to the side and wondered what the woman was mumbling about.

"Everyone's gone..."

[Y/n] raised her bat and points it at her companion, a woman with long hair. A scorpion tattoo on the left side of her exposed shoulders.

Said woman halts in her steps as the bloody bat was pointed at her. "Do you also think I deserve to live a miserable life?" The [h/c] asked, voice quiet yet deadly.

"You deserve everything in the world." She replied with a smile that was genuine as she wasn't fazed by the older girl's actions. "And don't worry...these people deserved this..." she walked closer to the female.

"For what they did to Akio, your younger brother...who died because of them." She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on her friend's face away.

"Hatsumi..." [Y/n] lets go of the bat. It rolled somewhere in the room. "You won't leave me, too, right?"

The woman now identified as Hatsumi smiled tenderly and hugged her tightly. "Never." Then she pulled away from the hug.

"Come on, let's get you changed since we still have some meetings to attend." She holds [Y/n]'s hands and leads her out of the room with a smile still present on her face.

"You are the new boss of Doku Sasori after all."

Then the dream ended.

Now back to the 12 year old [Y/n], she was running towards Shinichiro's shop as fast as she can. She entered through the back entrance and heard faint voices from two people.

"Kazutora!!" She shouted on the top of her lungs when she saw the boy dashing towards the older Sano.

"[Y/n]'s voice..?" Kazutora mumbled as his grip on the wrench he was about to use to kill the man loosened.

He also lost his footing when his eyes caught sight of the [h/c] girl's figure but since he was already close to Shin, his weapon still hit the older guy's head which earned a loud thud as he fell on the wooden floor.

"No, No, No!" The girl repeats as her breathing stopped without her knowledge when she saw blood seeping out of her older friend's head.

Due to the shock, she went into a small trance. Her gaze was focused on the unmoving body on the floor as she approaches it slowly.

[Y/n] flinched when she felt the hot liquid reach one of her feet after getting closer. Everything felt slow for her and the voices of her friends went muffled.

Her heart was beating fast and she felt dizzy, nauseous, too...just like how she felt in that dream she had earlier but instead of Akio's bloody figure, it was a friend of hers.

"Shin?" Her voice was quiet and filled with dread as she touched the black haired man's body, his blood getting onto her clothes.

[Y/n] swallowed the lump in her throat after seeing how much blood got into her. She felt a sense of deja vu because of that dream.

Now her breathing became ragged as she looked at her little hands. She swore it was clean before...she forgot she tried to get rid of the red liquid away from her clothes but only got it all over her instead.

With her eyesight suddenly turning hazy, she felt as if the world was now spinning. Then she glanced at the body of her friend again.

Her heart dropped to her stomach.

"Shin...?" She called again in a whispering voice while lightly shaking the body of said man. "Why...Why aren't you moving? Hey.."

"[Y/n].." a familiar voice called from behind, their voice breaking as they looked down on the ground, ashamed to look at the girl in the eyes.

A boy with black coat and hooded face, and the person standing next to him was his friend who also wear the same coat as him.

Keisuke Baji and Kazutora Hanemiya, both 12 years old and the same age as her.

[Y/n]'s friends, too.

"I-I didn't mean it! [Y/n], you..you believe me right? We only meant to take the bike so we could give it to..!" Kazutora shouted to try and convince her female friend.

"For Mikey..?" His gaze shifts to the person he who he thinks was now dead. His eyes caught sight of the blood that was still seeping out of Shinichiro's head thanks to the light from outside. "And that person is...I killed Mikey's.." their blood ran cold as their stomach also churned.

"No! It's not my fault..haha...that's right. I did this for Mikey, so..." The nervous boy took a step forward, a wide yet crazed smile his face.

"It's Mikey's fault! Yeah, that's right. So, [Y/n].."

"Don't come any closer!" The girl shouted with heavy breathing which caused for Kazutora's eyes to widen at the state she's in.

"Don't come any closer..." she repeats with terror in her eyes which made for the boy to finally cry as the person who's always been kind to him, smile at him, care for him, and look at him with those beautiful shining eyes...was no more.

The image of that girl seemed to break like glasses for him.

"[Y/n]..? Come on, I-I didn't mean it."

"This is all your fault!" She screamed, both of her hands now covering her ears which caused for the smile on Kazutora's face to falter.

"Because of Mikey...[Y/n]'s abandoning me...because of Mikey..Mikey's fault...now [Y/n]'s....Kill him....Kill Mi–"

"Both of you snap out of it!!" Keisuke shouted at his panicking friends which only worked for girl's attention was now on him. "Shinichiro's still alive."

"Are you...lying right now?" [Y/n] asked in an eerily quiet voice which caused shivers to run down on little Baji's spine.

This was his first time witnessing the female look so cold...and angry at him.

"N-No! He's breathing, see for yourself." As he said, [Y/n] went and checked. Relief was written all over her face the next and the spark in her eyes slowly went back.

'What the hell was I doing...?' She asked herself while dialing for 911 and while doing so, Keisuke talks to Kazutora...but nothing went through the poor boy even though he was already handcuffed and being put inside a police's car with his partner in crime following suit.

'...All your fault.' She watches as her friends get taken away by the police. 'You had a lot of time..if you hadn't hesitated and let fear get the best of you...'

Now the little [Y/n] turns her attention to Mikey. He was looking at the crying Keisuke and hearing him apologize while her parents arrives at the scene to hug their poor daughter, thinking she must've been so traumatized to witness such a thing..

'How cowardice of you.'

Since then, the little girl can't help but put the blame onto herself. Guilt and regret has been haunting her.

And ever since that day, [Y/n] wakes up no matter how much good or deep her sleep is. She always wakes up when 1:14 am strikes.

She can't go back to sleep no matter how hard she tries...only when if it's pass 3. Most of her friends came to know that she's awake during those time that's why whenever one of them misses her or can't sleep, they visit her by climbing up on her window.

Most of them knew that there's a particular reason behind on why their friend would be awake in the middle of night... but they decided not to pry into it as it seems like it was a topic that's not easy for her to talk about.

Mikey, Emma, Haruchiyo, and Senju...only those four knows the real reason.

"Hey, wake up."

Takashi shakes the sleeping [Y/n] since it was already lunchtime. The girl let out a small groan and slowly opened her eyes, still sleepy as she was drowsy.

"I know you're still sleepy but don't skip lunch or you'll upset your stomach." The lilac haired boy scolds with a sigh. "Seems like you didn't sleep really well today since you usually can hold your sleep."

A yawn passes [Y/n]'s lips as she nods her head. "I've been having these weird dreams lately." She replied while taking out her lunchbox.

"Really?" Mitsuya asked as he opens his lunchbox and starts to eat in the classroom with her.

They usually eat outside to avoid those prying eyes of their classmates but considering how lazy Mitsuya's friend looked despite having a delicious food in front of her, he'll just have to try his hardest to ignore those annoyingly sparkling eyes.

"How weird is it?" He asked another question while letting [Y/n] take a taste of his cooking. He smiled when she saw how satisfied she looked.

"...Really weird." She answered after swallowing her food after a moment of silence.

Was it just him or did his [h/c] friend's expression got dark and cold in a span of seconds as she remembered something.

Now Takashi can't help but wonder and be curious on what kind of dreams she's been seeing for her to give that kind of look...

"Anyways, you'll let me borrow your notes right?" She asked, deliberately changing the the topic which the boy caught on and let it be.

With a grin on his face, Mitsuya replies. "It's not like I can say no to you."
