[ Tokyo Revengers ] A Tainted Soul
Chapter 5: Internal Tensions
Somewhere else in Tokyo, deep inside Bonten's hidden base, tension hung in the air like a taut string about to snap
The vast room, enclosed by cold concrete walls, flickered under harsh fluorescent lights, casting twisted shadows that danced eerily across the walls.
A long table stood at the center, surrounded by the familiar faces of Bonten’s core members
" The Haitani brothers – Ran and Rindou "
The air was thick — a suffocating blend of cigarette smoke and gunpowder
It felt like the smallest spark could ignite an all-out war.
Sanzu, his pale pink hair slightly messy and eyes sharp like blades, suddenly slammed his hands on the table and stood up, yelling:
Sanzu Haruchiyo
FUCKING HELL!!! //Growling//
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Why the hell haven’t any of you found the King yet?!
He was Bonten’s No.2 — fiercely loyal to Mikey — and Mikey’s disappearance had driven him to the brink of insanity
His voice cracked the silence like a whip, rage burning in his eyes as he scanned the room.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
What the actual fuck were you bastards doing while he vanished?!
Sanzu Haruchiyo
He’s the goddamn boss of this fucked-up Bonten!
Sanzu Haruchiyo
If anything happens to him, I swear I’ll tear your dicks off and feed them to the dogs!
Rindou Haitani, hair dyed a soft lavender and his signature smirk in place, leaned back lazily in his chair and replied with a mocking tone.
Haitani Rindou
Now the rabid mutt’s blaming all of us, huh?
Haitani Rindou
You that pissed you forgot how to think straight?
Haitani Rindou
Boss going MIA might’ve had your hand in it too, mad dog.
Mochizuki Kanji, a tall and rugged man, nodded in agreement, his voice low and steady.
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Kid’s got a point
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
If you’d taken better care of the Boss, we wouldn’t be in this shit.
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Stop going psycho and biting your own team.
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Nobody here wants to get rabies from a barking bitch.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
//Glaring at Mochizuki//
Sanzu Haruchiyo
What the fuck do you even know, old man?
Sanzu Haruchiyo
All you do is rot in this damn bunker
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Think you’re the goddamn center of the universe?
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
The hell did you say?
Mochizuki stood up, fists clenched, voice deep with anger
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Shut your damn filthy mouth, Sanzu.
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
I’ve been bleeding for Bonten long before your sorry ass made it to No.2.
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Without me, this organization would’ve crumbled a long time ago.
Haitani Rindou
//Snickering//
Haitani Rindou
Damn right~
Haitani Rindou
Sanzu’s only good at barking like a damn dog.
Haitani Rindou
If you’re so capable, why don’t you haul your ass out there and find the Boss yourself?
Sanzu Haruchiyo
You got a death wish or what, Haitani Rindou? //Death glare//
His hand twitched toward the dagger at his hip.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Another word outta your fucking mouth and I’ll feed your tongue to stray dogs.
Haitani Rindou
Try me, bitch. //Veins popping on his temple//
Haitani Rindou
A foaming mutt thinking he’s some kind of goddamn prophet.
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
* Pretty sure these idiots forgot I was even here... *
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
//Visibly fed up//
As Bonten’s treasurer, Kokonoi usually kept calm, but even he was getting sick of this circus.
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
All of you — shut the hell up
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
We've been screaming at each other for hours, and guess what?
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
Boss is still missing.
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
So unless fighting each other magically helps your sorry asses find him, maybe stop stroking your egos.
Sanzu slammed his hands on the table again, hard enough to make the metal surface tremble.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
Sanzu Haruchiyo
I don’t need your worthless opinions
Sanzu Haruchiyo
I don’t care what it takes — we’re bringing the King back.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
He’s still nearby.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
I’m fucking sure of it.
Ran Haitani, with darker purple hair and a dangerous grin, tilted his head and teased
Haitani Ran
You really think so, Sanzu?
Haitani Ran
Hah, maybe crack open that fucked-up brain of yours and figure it out
Haitani Ran
Since Bonten was born...
Haitani Ran
Have you ever really asked yourself what Boss has been thinking? //Smirks//
Haitani Ran
Or were you too busy licking his boots like a goddamn mutt?
A dagger sliced through the air, burying itself deep in the wall behind Ran
Sanzu’s eyes were ice-cold.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
You turning traitor on us? //Glaring//
Another blade glinted coldly in his hand
Ran had dodged just in time, but his smile didn’t fade.
Haitani Ran
You shouldn’t go biting everyone just because you’re pissed, Sanzu.
Haitani Ran
I was just hypothetically speaking.
Haitani Ran
No need to go apeshit now, right?
Sanzu Haruchiyo
That fucking mouth of yours needs to be shut permanently.
He stepped closer to Ran, blade gleaming menacingly.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
You really think I won’t slit your goddamn throat?
Haitani Ran
Go ahead and slice away — Boss’ll probably slit your throat in return.
Like the stillness before a bomb explodes.
Every eye in the room was locked in place, tension wrapping around them like barbed wire.
The sound of knocking shattered the silence.
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
Come in. // looks up //
The door creaked open, and a man stepped inside
Takaru Yusuke, with jet-black hair and a charming smile, entered like a breeze of fresh air into the suffocating room
He wasn't a member of Bonten, just a pretty boy they kept around—useful when needed.
Yusuke Takaru
Good evening, gentlemen~
His voice was honey-sweet, but his eyes were sharp, calculating.
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Spit it out. // frowning //
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Don’t just stand there looking pretty
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
I don’t have time for a whore’s games.
Yusuke Takaru
Chill, Kanji-san~
Yusuke Takaru
I’ve got something useful for you.
Yusuke Takaru
I know where the Boss is
Immediately, all eyes in the room snapped to Takaru
Sanzu leaned forward, eyes sharp as blades.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
SAY IT! // snarling //
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Where the fuck did you see him?! // urgent //
Takaru wasn’t in a rush like Sanzu
He strolled toward the table and laid down a stack of documents.
Yusuke Takaru
I saw the Boss today…
Yusuke Takaru
He was with some kid, eating at a street-side ramen stall.
Yusuke Takaru
Didn’t look like any of the core members, so I figured it was serious.
Yusuke Takaru
I took the liberty of digging a little.
He pushed the stack forward, along with a photo—taken from afar—of Mikey and Reita sitting at the ramen stall
The warm glow of the shop's lights lit their faces.
The Bonten members crowded around the photo
Ran picked it up, eyeing Reita closely.
Haitani Ran
Huh~ A plain-looking brat like this got the Boss wrapped around his finger?
Haitani Ran
He looks like a damn high schooler
Yusuke Takaru
I saw him holding the Boss’s hand. // calmly //
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
The fuck?!
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
A cheap little bastard like that dared touch the Boss?!
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
You sure you didn’t mistake it, you whore?
Kokonoi, serious-faced, picked up the documents and skimmed them.
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
Suzuki Reita…
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
Just an average office worker...
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
What the hell does he have to do with the Boss?
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
This makes no sense...
Sanzu frowned, his gaze darkening
His hand clenched so tightly his knuckles went white.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
What the fuck did you even find on that cocksucking brat, you goddamn flea-ridden whore?
Takaru slid another sheet toward him.
Yusuke Takaru
This is his address, sir
Yusuke Takaru
He lives in a small apartment nearby
Yusuke Takaru
I’ve written down all the details
Yusuke Takaru
The kid… he doesn’t seem dangerous, but I don’t get why the Boss would follow someone like him
Haitani Rindou
// smirking at the photo //
Haitani Rindou
Ran, don’t you think he’s kinda cute?
Haitani Rindou
Look at the way he smiles at the Boss—like he doesn’t even know who he’s dealing with~
Haitani Ran
No kidding~ // teasing //
Haitani Ran
Sweet little thing like that, all innocent…
Haitani Ran
Maybe he’s got something none of these whores ever had~
Yusuke Takaru
// irritated //
Yusuke Takaru
I don’t think he’s got any hidden motives.
Yusuke Takaru
But I agree with Mr. Haitani—there’s definitely something special about him.
Yusuke Takaru
Otherwise, the Boss wouldn’t be with him.
Sanzu stood up abruptly, his voice colder than ice.
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Open your fucking ears, all of you! // shouting //
Sanzu Haruchiyo
Bring the King back—NOW!
Sanzu Haruchiyo
If not, Bonten’s done for!
Sanzu Haruchiyo
I don’t give a fuck who that kid is, but if he gets in the way, I’ll end him myself!
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
// nodding //
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
Got it
Mochizuki Kanji - Mocchi
I’ll take a squad and move out now
Haitani Rindou
Hey, bro, this is getting interesting~ // smirking //
Haitani Rindou
A random kid got the whole of Bonten scrambling
Haitani Ran
Fascinating, huh~
Haitani Ran
I want to meet this little cutie—see what’s so special that even the Boss is into him~
Kokonoi sighed and set the papers down
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
You guys better stay focused
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
We need to bring the Boss back before this shit spirals
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
Sanzu, you lead
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
But don’t fuck it up.
Kokonoi Hajime - Koko
We don’t need any more fucking mess.
Sanzu glared at Kokonoi but said nothing
The tension still lingered in the base, but now… they had a clear objective
