author's note : first of all, i was scared of posting this because i have no will of writing 'on my way' anymore and for this one it might just be a one-shot. i don't know yet but let's just see where it goes. i had to re-read the manga chapters that have shinichiro on it to make it more relevant lol. like multiple of times back and forth. also if tokyo revengers could have a spin-off like for takemichi and hinata, this song would fit them i believe because it is such a beautiful story in song form. for now i just use it here instead hehe.

1996

the sound of children shouting as they are learning karate in sano dojo. an old man decided to visit his old friend after years of not seeing each other for a while. sano mansaku looked towards a silhouette's way, eyes widen as he recognized the face. gesturing him to wait. right after he left the children to train by themselves, sano mansaku retreated from the class for a while to meet his friend properly.

"yoshida-san, what a delightful to have you here." sano mansaku said, smiling.

yoshida junichi, an old friend of sano mansaku from the day they were children. sano mansaku inherited his family dojo name while yoshida junichi proceed into inherit his family's wealth and pursued his academic in england. the two friends then separated until one day, a familiar name acrossed yoshida junichi's eyes and decided to pay a visit.

yoshida junichi smiled at his old friend, taken a look at the scenery of his friend's house. "it has been a while and i saw a familiar name so i decided to gamble on it." sano mansaku chuckled at yoshida junichi's statement.

same ol yoshida-san.

"my granddaughter, hoshiko, my only family." yoshida junichi said, making sano mansaku looked at him in wonder. "she's all i have left but one day when i die, she will be left alone in this world, not knowing what would happen to her without anyone taking care and guide her to the right path in life." continued by yoshida junichi, sano mansaku becoming more confused than ever. "sano-san, my lawyer will be coming for you once i die and i want you to promise me one thing." yoshido junichi requested.

being left alone with a room full of kids practicing their judo, hoshiko felt awkward. raised by grandfather all alone in the states, hoshiko, felt like she was an alien of not knowing what are these kids doing. "hello, who are you?" hoshiko turned around to see a yellow blonde haired girl. hoshiko, who knew a bit of japanese, was flustrated. "i-i, hoshiko yoshido." hoshiko said, giving out her given name first as how it was living in america. "your name is yoshido? how weird." the girl said, making hoshiko stunned by the statement. looking down, hoshiko felt hot on her face.

hearing the girl giggled, the girl held out her hand towards hoshiko's way, making hoshiko raise up her head. "i'm emma, guess we both have weird names." emma said, smiling at hoshiko warmly. hoshiko shook emma's hand.

"emma, who's this? your friend?" hoshiko looked up at the new voice entered the room to see a black haired guy, who is way older for her. emma looked at hoshiko, smiling brightly as she nodded at the guy's question. the guy smiled. he kneeled before the two girls, smiling at them. "i'm shinichiro but you can call me shin-nii." shinichiri introduced himself, grinning. "shin-nii." hoshiko muttered to herself.

"SHINICHIRO!" the three shocked by the loud shout only to see sano mansaku and yoshido junichi entered the room. shinichiro stood up straight and ran out of the room. yoshido junichi laughed at the comedic duo of the sano grandfather-grandson. yoshido junichi knew well the eldest sano grandson, as he once met the boy when he was visiting japan few years before. "he never change." yoshido junichi commented, making sano mansaku grunted. "always loitering around and never coming to the dojo to practice." sano mansaku said.

since then, hoshiko knew that she would be a family to sano family one day. she knew it as she eyeing shinichiro smiling one last time before leaving the house.

the friendship between emma and hoshiko blossomed quite well since they are the same-age friends and attending to the same school, a year after yoshido junichi relocated the two of them permanently from america. at first hoshiko felt alienated since she's a japanese with foreigner face as to having american mom. due to that, hoshiko has been deserted from her classmates and emma being her only friend and same to emma.

as usual, right after school, hoshiko would come to sano residence because of her grandfather would be in the office room all day and she would feel lonely at home. also, yoshido junichi knew hoshiko would be at the sano residence even if hoshiko didn't tell him about it. one thing he didn't know was hoshiko's huge crush towards the eldest sano grandson despite the reason why hoshiko loves coming to the sano residence.

as entering the front gate entrance, hoshiko could see a motorbike being repaired and there he was. sano shinichiro, in his regular white shirt and black pants, accompanied by two of his 'friends'. shinichiro looked up and saw the two girls. shinichiro smiled and hoshiko could feel her face getting warm. "i'm going in first okay?" emma told hoshiko and left her to enter the house. hoshiko went towards shinichiro's way. the two 'friends' that stood before shinichiro were eyeing hoshiko that walking her way towards shinichiro as shinichiro told them to chill as to she's being his sister's friend.

"hi shin-nii, what are you doing?" hoshiko asked as she kneeled next to shinichiro, making him chuckled. "repairing bits here and there. wanna ride right after i fix it?" shinichiro offered, as he swore he could see hoshiko's eyes gleamed at the offer. nodding her head yes, shinichiro smiled and then continued on fixing his motorbike. then hoshiko heard shouting of children from the dojo. "go watch it hoshiko, maybe you could ask grampa to teach you next." shinichiro encouraged.

hoshiko stood up and heads to the sano dojo, with shinichiro watching her back. "she seems to take an interest of you, shin-chan." one of the 'friends' commented. shinichiro chuckled.

"she's just one of my sisters."

the shoutings became louder as hoshiko approached the dojo. hoshiko watched from the side of the martial art in front of her. all her life, the only martial art she'd ever watched was boxing. because she used to have an older brother (non-blood related, just acquaintance), who did boxing. "good, that's enough." sano mansaku said to his students and then he saw hoshiko. he waved for hoshiko to enter the hall. hoshiko entered as she looked down at her feet while walking. "everyone find a partner and begin your free time training." sano mansaku said and the children began to find a partner to spare. as hoshiko stopped right next to sano mansaku, he placed his hand on her head. "don't be shy to them, they are your friends." sano mansaku said and hoshiko nodded her head yes.

from afar, a boy with black hair watched the interaction with a girl with foreign face and his master. then he heard thuds from his behind to see a light haired boy swinging kicks upon crash cushion held by one of his master's assistants. koshiko watched from where she stood, mesmerized by how cool he was. "wow." was all that came out from her mouth.

"sensei! how come he's so good even though he never practices?" the boy shouted and sano mansaku chuckled. "he's a prodigy." replied sano mansaku and walked towards where the boy stood. "what?! that's no fair, how come he gets to be one?" the boy questioned again, and this time sano mansaku smugged.

"because he's my grandson."

the boy grunted and approached the light haired boy. "oi sano, be my sparring partner!" the boy invited, approaching the light haired boy. "i don't want to get all sweaty. so pass~" the light haired boy replied, making the black haired boy grunted. "then why are you here?"

"because i want to show off." the light haired boy replied, as he turning his head towards where hoshiko stood at. hoshiko watched him.

"manjiro-kun."

1999

two years passed and hoshiko has become the unofficial sano family member. her feelings towards shinichiro hasn't fade even before this hoshiko has confessed but declined politely by shinichiro.

"shin-nii, not even 1% of your feelings for me?" hoshiko asked. it was dinner time at the sano residence and hoshiko's grandfather was away for his business trip in china. hence the reason why hoshiko was at the sano residence. shinichiro who was unbothered by the question, wrenching his motorbike as hoshiko stood behind him. "hoshiko-chan.." shinichiro sighed. "i took you as my sister, nothing more and nothing less." shinichiri continued as he could hear faint sobbings from his behind. "i'm sorry hoshiko-chan, maybe you will find someone from your age instead of me." shinichiro said as he turned back, facing hoshiko, her face was already redden up. "you will not like to take care of me when i am older, i will be an old grumpy oldman like gramps there." shinichiro said jokingky, trying to light up the mood. before she could let out a sound, hoshiko took off and ran out of the house, making shinichiro shocked. "hoshiko-" "that's enough shinichi." it was manjiro, coming out of his hideout. "you don't get girls at all shinichi, leave it all to me." manjiro said and followed where hoshiko went off to.

"hoshiko!"

"oi hoshiko!"

then manjiro heard a faint cries coming from a nearby playground. manjiro turned his head to the left and saw someone in one of those construction cylinders from doraemon. approaching to the cylinders, manjiro could see that someone in it clearly. it was hoshiko herself. "hoshiko." manjiro called and hoshiko refused to look at manjiro. manjiro sighed to himself and took a seat on the ground, next to where hoshiko sat in.

"one time, i followed shinichi to one of his gang meetings." manjiro said as he looked up to the sky. "i was mesmerized on riding motorbike that i ask shinichi to teach me but he told me that i was too young so i got devastated." manjiro continued. "to say, i understand the feelings of being too young for anything." manjiro ended and then he stood up. "but you don't understand it." manjiro heard hoshiko said and looked at her. "what is?" "love. you don't understand love." hoshiko stated. "then i am, i don't understand love but do you?" manjiro questioned and hoshiko got out of the cylinder. "i do. it is a heart-thumping feeling when you meet someone you like." hoshiko explained and manjiro chuckled. hoshiko squinted her eyes in anger as she gritted her teeth. "what's so funny?" hoshiko asked, getting annoyed by his action. "then, i do have the same feelings as well for you." manjiro stated, and hoshiko felt like someone has punched her gut.

"you don't know that." hoshiko told manjiro. "then so do you." manjiro said. "maybe one day in the future, i will make you love me." manjiro continued as hoshiko could feel warm in her body and her heartbeats go faster than usual. "how certain are you?" hoshiko challenged. manjiro just grinned. "you will fall for me." manjiro told her and hoshiko just scoffed.

"i will wait for that day then."

july, 1999

"sano emma, your grandfather is in the office room." a teacher called, sliding open the front door of the class. hoshiko just watched emma left the class with her schoolbag. 'i wonder why ojii-san is here?' wondered hoshiko as the class goes on without emma.

after school, hoshiko saw her grandfather's assistant, mr ichigo. usually mr ichigo will pick up hoshiko after staying at the sano residence after school since she and emma went to the same school and also the school distance is much closer to the sano residence than the yoshido residence so that yoshido junichi don't have to worry about hoshiko went home on herself and also that she doesn't have to stay at home alone with butlers and maids. a same age friend could accompany her since she is a growing child that wants to be with her friends (read: emma, manjiro (mikey), keisuke-kun, haruchiyo-kun and shin-nii).

"ichigo-san?" hoshiko asked as mr ichigo opened the door of the car. "quickly young mistress, we need to go to the hospital quick." mr ichigo said and hoshiko entered the car without any further questions. all her questions will be soon answered as she see it for herself.

once arrived at the hospital, mr ichigo lead their way along the hallway until they saw some familiar face. "grandpa! ojii-san!" hoshiko greeted as she saw both her grandfather and sano grandfather. then she saw her friends and emma and shinichiro. all of them had crying face on. everyone except manjiro (mikey from now on). "where is mikey?" hoshiko asked as she couldn't the light haired boy anywhere. until she saw him through the glass window of a room, connecting to wires here and there with his head wrapped in bandages.

tears soon coming up and release through her eyes as she couldn't believe of what she had saw right in front of her. "w-who is t-that?" hoshiko asked as she refused to believe what she saw and that she need confirmation. "hoshiko, that is mikey." yoshido junichi answered as his voice weren't the same, it's like he had been forcing himself to not cry. hoshiko shook her head no as she backed herself until she felt a flat, soft surface on her back. she looked up and it was shinichiro. "shin-nii, grandpa is lying right?" hoshiko asked and immediately shinichiro wrapped his arms around her and instantly, hoshiko cried, wailing.

"he promised that he will love me!"

2003

entering the sano residence, hoshiko slipped off her shoes and put on her indoor slippers. it has been four years since mikey was confirmed to be in vegetative state and that is no cure for him to be normal again. it also has been four years and now that mikey is 14 years old and hoshiko is 13 years old.

sano grandpa died during the four years duration and emma left due to the stress after sano grandfather died. and that hoshiko has been taking over emma's role in the household as for shinichiro taking care of mikey only.

"shin-nii, have you eaten yet?" hoshiko asked as she entered the kitchen to see a pile of plates and bowls from yesterday right after she left the sano residence. since taking care of mikey, shinichiro hasn't been himself. he sometimes skip meal time and just pay attention to mikey's needs since mikey is sort of incapable of doing things himself. also mikey just dripping himself with vitamins to keep his nutriens in check by shinichiro. not hearing a reply from shinichiro, hoshiko assumed that he didn't eat anything yet.

as hoshiko preparing a meal for shinichiro, she was brought back to the time where mikey confronted her right after her confession to shinichiro.

"maybe one day in the future, i will make you love me."

sobbing to herself, hoshiko placed the knife down before wiping her eyes with her sleeve. "you lied mikey-kun." whimpering, hoshiko slid down to her feet.

one afternoon, while shinichiro went out to fetch haruchiyo from juvie, hoshiko took care of mikey for a while and took him for a walk for fresh air. "mikey-kun, remember that time where i called you manjiro-kun? it was when before you told me and basically everyone you knew to call you mikey because of emma-chan." hoshiko started as she keeps walking while pushing along mikey's wheelchair. "well, i miss calling you manjiro because that is your name." hoshiko confessed. "i hope you can forgive me for calling your real name, manjiro-kun." hoshiko said as she halted her steps to go in front of manjiro.

looking into his lifeless eyes, hoshiko felt like she wanted to tear up. he used to be such a lively boy but why is this happening to him?

"i love you manjiro-kun, i hope you will feel the same." hoshiko confessed as she placed a kiss upon mikey's forehead. smiling, hoshiko grabbed mikey's boned hand and carrassed it. "maybe in another life, you could return the same feeling and maybe we could be happy together." hoshiko said as she smiled weakly, kissing mikey's hands.

on july 20th, 2003, sano manjiro passed away.

every night, tears has been a friend to hoshiko as she couldn't move on from mikey's passing. one night after mikey's funeral, hoshiko saw shinichiro's hands bleeded out causing hoshiko to attend to his injury. "why are you doing this shin-nii?" hoshiko asked right after she's done attending to the wounds. shinichiro just stood silent.

"my life isn't worth living anymore." shinichiro confessed and tears start building up. hoshiko sobbed. "what are you saying shin-nii, you still have me." hoshiko said as she grabbed shinichiro's hands and placed on her face. "see, i'm still here." hoshiko said as tears coming out and flow along her cheeks. "i'm here shin-nii. i'm going to take care of you." koshiko confessed between between the sobbings and tears.

shinichiro stood up and left the house, leaving to someplace he knew by heart. hoshiko followed behind him, worrying that he might do something that could harm him.

the graveyard.

sano family grave.

watching from afar, hoshiko just looked at how sloppy shinichiro is. he hasn't been himself since mikey's death. he became disorientated.

"manjiro, gramps, pops. i'm here again." shinichiro started. "life hasn't been well. i have no will to go on anymore and i killed someone for some stupid reasons." shinichiro continued. hoshiko gapsed silently behind one of the grave tombs. 'shinichiro killed someone?' hoshiko thought to herself. "there's nothing for me now so please wait for me." shinichiro said and hoshiko gasped as she felt a hand placed on her shoulder. she turned around to see, mikey?

"manjiro-kun?" mikey smiled. "what are you doing here hoshiko, it's time to go to our happy place now." mikey said as he held out his hand for her. "what do you mean manjiro-kun?" hoshiko asked, not understanding why mikey is here when he's already dead. then she looked at grave tomb and gasped.

yoshido family grave.

yoshido hoshiko.
