CHAPTER 9: lara

Mikey and I exchanged blows, each strike fueling the intensity of our rivalry. The pain of my betrayal lingered.

As our fight intensified, memories of our past flashed before my eyes, taunting me with what could have been. The bond we had shared, the trust we had built, now lay shattered on the battlefield.

With every punch and kick, I could see the conflict within Mikey's eyes. His loyalty to Taiken clashed with his desire to understand the reasons behind my betrayal.

The battle raged on, our fists colliding with a ferocity then suddenly  I turned to see Mikey fighting liam. After mikey and liam exaganed a few blows liam pulled out a gun but was stopped by kale.

As I looked around to see more people that I could beat up, I noticed jake holding the gun liam had earlier and was aiming it at kale. “You bastard!” i yelled as i went bolting for jake to stop him but i was to late he had shot kale non fatal but he still had the gun aimed so i tackled him and started beating him to death while repeating “you bastard” once i had killed jake via beating him to death i stood up and walked away emotionless.

CHAPTER 10: mikey

After that day when kale almost died and she had killed jake she was never seen again until the day of taikens disbandment.

It was about the afternoon when she showed up at the shrine clearly not looking for me which made me kinda sad.

I approached her trying to get the reason why she betrayed not just me but all of us in taiken. “ hey lara been a while hasn't it?”

As i said that she tilted her head down to look at me. And with a fake smile she said “yeah it has, hasn't it mikey.” At this point I had already forgiven her for what she had done so I sat down beside her and decided to ask straight to her face why she left.

She turned to me and simply said “ it was all to protect my brother but now i don't even know if he's still alive or not.”as she said that tears started flowing down her face but she continued to smile at me. “Um lara” i said cautiously

“ yeah?” she said, looking back at the ground. “What's your brother's name?”I said while looking back at the ground too. “His name is kakucho”

She said burying her face into her knees.

“ Wait, is that why you killed jake because he shot kale?!” I was completely surprised at what I had just discovered.

“Lara!” I said hoping to cheer her up with the news I had. She looked at me now clearly devastated by the mention of her “dead” brother.

“Your brother is alive!”I said feeling somewhat pleased that I was the one who told her that. “What?!” she said as her face lit up with this new found information provided by me, the one and only hehe.

"What do you mean he's alive? Are you sure?" Lara asked, her eyes wide with a mix of hope and disbelief.

I nodded, a small smile forming on my face. "I received intel recently that kale was injured but survived the encounter with jake. He's been in hiding, recovering from his injuries."

Lara's emotions seemed to shift from devastation to relief and back again. "I... I don't know what to say," she whispered, tears still streaming down her face. "I thought he was gone, and I blamed myself for not being there to protect him."

"It's not your fault," I reassured her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You did what you thought was necessary to protect him, and sometimes, circumstances lead us down difficult paths."

Lara wiped her tears away, trying to compose herself. "Thank you, Mikey. You have no idea what this means to me."

"I'm glad I could bring you some comfort," I said sincerely. "But, Lara, you have to understand that even if your brother is alive, it doesn't excuse the choices you made. You hurt a lot of people in Taiken."

Lara nodded, her expression heavy with guilt.

Lara took a deep breath, determination shining through her tears. "I want to make things right, Mikey. I want to rebuild the trust I lost and find a way to protect Taiken, even if it means staying away from kale for now."

"That's a step in the right direction," I said, proud of her resolve. "We'll need to discuss this with the other captains, but I believe some of them will be willing to give you a second chance."

Lara nodded gratefully. "Thank you for not giving up on me, Mikey. I know I have a lot to prove, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn back your trust and the trust of the gang."

From that day on, Lara worked tirelessly to make amends with the members of Taiken. She proved her dedication by protecting the gang from outside threats and supporting them in any way she could.

Although it took time, most of the gang members eventually accepted Lara back into the fold.

As for Lara and me, we remained cautious yet supportive friends. The bond we once shared had been damaged

The rivalry between Taiken and Tenjiku continued, but Lara refused to take part in the conflict against her former gang. Instead, she focused on protecting Taiken and keeping them safe from harm, even if it meant confronting her own brother, Kakucho.

As for kale, he remained in hiding, trying to recover from his injuries and deal with the revelation that his sister had betrayed him and joined their rival gang. He struggled with conflicting emotions, torn between his loyalty to Tenjiku and his love for his sister.

CHAPTER 10.5: you

As the years passed, the rivalry between Taiken and Tenjiku persisted, but it became less personal for Lara. 

Until one day the final fight happened and taiken won.

CHAPTER 11: Lara

It's been a good three months now and we have a new rival gang in the area that we need to get rid of and so i went over to their base and beat the living daylights out of half their men and declared war and so in two days we'll fight with this new rival gang called valhalla and we're gonna win.

“ You're a fool as always, Lara,” Ken said, visibly annoyed. “And why would you say that “kenny? '' I said while cracking a wide grin across my face. “ You little i'm going to strangle you” ken said as he started chasing after me “oo let me join in” mikey said as childist as ever. As me and Mikey ran off from Ken giggling, the rest of the captains were relaxing.

“Jeez you're really good at running aren't you, you little punks” ken said as he held us. “ ok ok im sorry can you let us go now?” I said out of breath.

“Fine but next time I won't go so easy on you.”

“Easy on us that's a lie you almost killed me and mikey!” I said , sticking my tongue out at ken. “ yeah!” Mikey said copying me. “ Alright, that's it, it's time for you to die!” Ken said, grabbing us again. “ alright that's enough you three we need to get ready for the fight today” toby said “ oh thank god toby you're our saviour!” I said I was being all childish like mikey.
