It's been a long day for you. Your feet ache, and your eyes feel heavy. You quickly head to your bedroom to lie down. You think it might be a good idea to at least make yourself dinner, but you're too tired to do so. You don't even bother to turn on the light. You throw your phone onto your bed, and you take your shoes off. Then you flop down on the bed, and you nuzzle your face into the pillow. You slowly start to drift into sleep when all of a sudden, your phone starts ringing. You lift your face from the pillow, grabbing your phone from beside you. You slowly accept the phone call, not paying attention to who's calling you.
"Hello?" you quietly say. There's a muffled noise from the other end of the phone. You raise your eyebrows, and you try to slowly lift your phone to look at it. The screen is so bright it's almost blinding.
"HELLO!" the voice says from the other end. Your eyes finally adjust to the light on your phone. The person on the other end is your friend. You sigh, and you place your phone down.
"Hey... what's up?" You mumble loud enough for them to hear you.
"Are you home?" They ask.
"Yeah... I got home 10 minutes ago." You answer.
"Did you read the new chapter of Tokyo Revengers?" They ask. You groan, slowly lifting yourself. You rub your eyes, grab your phone, and look up Tokyo Revengers manga on a website because you can't afford to pay for a subscription or to buy the manga in a store.
"What happened in the last chapter?" You ask. Your friend giggles and makes a loud shrieking noise.
"GIRL! THE LAST CHAPTER WAS INSANEEEE!!!" Your friend continues to giggle. You don't know exactly what she's so excited about since the last few chapters were kind of gruesome.
"Ugh... my head hurts..." you groan, rubbing your head in pain.
"Girl... are you okay?" Your friend asks.
"I'm just really tired." You reply quietly.
"You should sleep, y/n." Your friend says in a concerned voice.
"Yeah... I should sleep." You reply.
"Okay then... I will talk to you later... When you read the chapter, let me know so we can talk about it." Your friend bubbles. In your mind, you can see your friend kicking their feet and giggling.
"Okay... goodnight." The phone call ends, and you lie back down, nuzzling your face into your pillow. You click on the newest chapter. You slowly read the chapter, eyes glistening and excitement in your chest. But that doesn't last long.
"WHAT! THAT'S HOW IT ENDS? THAT'S IT?" You shout. "ARE YOU SERIOUS? That felt so rushed..."
You quickly go to Twitter to see what people are saying. A lot of people are talking badly about the manga, and others are talking about how it ended. Then you come across a random tweet of fan art, including Tokyo Revengers characters and their OC, saying goodbye to Tokyo Revengers. People are commenting under it, saying that the art looks very cool... But it wasn't loading for you.
You decide to click the photo to make it larger, but when you do, your phone shocks you, making you flinch and throw it across the room. You sigh, looking at your phone that's on the ground and rubbing your hand that got shocked. You debate whether you should pick up the phone or not.
You decide to leave it on the floor. You lie back down and slowly close your eyes.
As you drift into sleep, you start to feel lighter, as if you're floating. You feel so cozy and warm. Still thinking about the last chapter of Tokyo Revengers.
You finally fall asleep.
Something feels off. It feels like your body is floating on water, but the feeling is so relaxing. You hear muffled voices in the distance... but your body won't move.
"YUKI!"
Yuki?
"WAKE UP, YUKI!"
Through your eyelids, light is shining through. You groan, covering yourself with a blanket, trying to block out the sun and the noise.
"YUKI! YUKI!!!" You slowly open your eyes to the yelling getting louder.
"YUKI!" There's banging outside your bedroom... As you look around, you notice something off... Your room... It looks different.
"YUKIIIIIII! COME ON! COME ON! YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE US LATE!"
Are they talking to me? You ask yourself.
You slowly get off the bed, and then you slide open the bedroom door. You look around the room outside the bedroom. It's small. There's a kitchen to the right and a couch and TV in front of you. You move towards the door on the left. As you approach the door, you hear whispering and giggling. You open the door.
A couple of girls wearing school uniforms are standing outside the room.
"What happened?" You ask.
"What do you mean what happened?" The girl on the left chuckles. She has short brown hair that goes a bit past her jawline and soft dark brown eyes. She's wearing pink hair clips and cutesy makeup; she's the same height as you. She's a little bit chubby. Her waist is the same size as her chest and hips, sorta in a round way. She's really cute. The one on the right is a little taller than you; she's slimmer. Her chest is bigger than her hips, and her hair is long and blond, going down past her shoulders. She has dark brown eyes too.
I assume she dyed her hair. You think to yourself while looking at the girl with blond hair.
"What are we about to be late for?" You ask.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" The brown-haired girl yells in shock.
"We are going to be late for school." The blond-haired girl replies. You slowly nod in confusion.
"Yuki... How are you the top student in the school but are always running late... how does that even work?" Confused, the brown-haired girl slowly walks in. She walks into the kitchen and opens the fridge. You stare at her as she goes through your condiments.
"Hana... what are you doing?" The girl with the blond hair asks.
"Looking to see if Yuki-chan had any snacks... but her fridge looks depressing." Hana groans, slowly closing the fridge. "No wonder you stay so skinny, Yuki... you don't even have food in your fridge." Hana implies. The girl with the blond hair taps your shoulder. You turn to look at her. She sighs and then smiles.
"Yuki... if you don't get dressed, we are going to be late." You slowly nod and walk into the bedroom, sliding the door closed.
You start to breathe heavily and rush to scatter through the dresser in the room. What's happening? Where am I? You think to yourself.
You walk towards the closet in the room, and you open it. There are a couple of boxes and a uniform hanging up. You examine the outside of the boxes. One of the boxes says Property of Hanami Sato.
Who is that? You ask yourself.
You open the box and start going through the things inside. One of the things you find is a notebook. You hold the notebook, and a picture falls out of it. You pick up the picture. It's a woman with black hair and black eyes. She looks very pretty. And there is a small girl leaning against her, smiling. The woman in the picture looks sorta bruised and hurt, but she still looks happy. Why does she look bruised...? Or is the photo just smudged or something?
You open the notebook to place the picture back in. Flipping to the back of the notebook, you see writing. It wasn't written in English but in Japanese. Surprisingly, you understand what it says....
"Live a long and happy life, Yuki... I will always be here with you." You read to yourself. "Love... Mom." The notebook is labeled to Yuki Sato. Am I Yuki? And this is Yuki's mother? Did she pass away? You open the notebook again, pulling the picture back out.
"Yuki...?" Aimi whispers loudly from the other side of the door.
You look up towards the closed door and quickly close the box.
"She's getting dressed, Aimi..." Hana muffles.
"What are you eating, Hana?"
"A nice... cold and yummy taiyaki..."
"Where did you get that from?"
"From the back of Yuki's fridge."
"Ugh... Hana... couldn't you have waited until we went downstairs? We both know Mrs. Sato would have given us a pastry."
You sigh, listening to their conversation. You place the box back in the closet and grab your uniform.
After getting dressed, you walk out of the room. Aimi and Hana stare at you as you walk out.
"You have a lot of hair..." Hana chuckles. You reach to touch your hair, and you sigh, walking towards the bathroom that's on the right side of the living room by the kitchen.
You walk into the bathroom, and you stare at yourself in the mirror. You're a cute, young-looking girl. You have round dark grey eyes and very long and thick black hair that goes down to your waist. Your chest is small, the same as your hips. Your waist is a bit smaller, but it's not that noticeable. If you didn't have that big butt and big boobs in your past life as Y/N... you definitely don't now...
Yuki looks like she doesn't eat much... You think to yourself, lifting your shirt a bit to see your very visible ribs.
Aimi and Hana walk into the bathroom. Hana touches your hair, lifting it and smiling at you through the mirror.
"Your hair is so thick... and pretty..." Aimi pats your head and then grabs the brush on the counter. "Let me do your hair, Yuki..." Aimi leans in closer towards your face, making a pouty lip look towards you.
You nod, and she smiles joyfully.
She takes the brush and starts to brush your hair. After she brushes your hair, she pulls it up into a ponytail.
"OH DANG... WE HAVE 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRST BELL!" Hana shouts, shoving the rest of the taiyaki in her mouth. Hana grabs your hand and pulls you out of the bathroom.
You put your shoes on and grab your bag. The three of you walk down the stairs and into the back of a bakery where an old lady is prepping some baked goods.
"Yuki- do you feel better?" The woman asks you. You slowly nod. She smiles. "You look just like your mother." She says, rubbing your head.
"Mrs. Sato... is that dorayaki...?" Hana soothes.
Mrs. Sato? So she's Yuki's grandmother? She looks rather old...
"Didn't you just eat?" Aimi implies, furrowing her eyebrows at Hana.
"Shhhhh..." Hana shushes Aimi and smiles at Yuki's grandmother. She smiles back and hands Hana a dorayaki.
"I saved these for the three of you... I know how much you like these, Hana." Hana smiles and takes a bite of the dorayaki. You smile as Yuki's grandma hands you one.
"Thank you." You speak.
The three of you leave the bakery.
"Your grandma makes the best sweets... you're so lucky, Yuki... I wish I had a grandma who would make me baked goods every morning..." Hana soothes, slowly chowing down on the dorayaki. "Mmmmm do I loooove dorayaki... or anything with this in it!" Hana squeezes the two pancakes, making the sweet red bean paste puff out a bit.
"I'm surprised you aren't fat, Hana." Hana squints at Aimi's statement.
"I don't eat that much..." She pouts, taking tiny nibbles of the dorayaki.
Not long later, you approach the school. You walk in and head towards your homeroom class. You have the same class as Aimi.
Hana is a year older, so her class is a floor up. Which is surprising since she acts younger than she is.
"See you two at lunch." She says, waving at you and Aimi as she walks down the hall.
You and Aimi walk into the classroom, and you both sit at your desks that are right next to each other. A boy sits in front of Aimi. He's wearing a hoodie over his uniform and seems very wary.
"What happened to you, Eli?" Aimi asks, staring at the back of the boy's head. The boy turns around to look at Aimi.
"Nothing that you can solve." He replies. His left eye looks swollen and bruised. He also has a tissue in his nose.
"Are those guys bothering you again?" She asks.
"What guys?" You question. Both Aimi and Eli look at you.
"Eli keeps getting in trouble with that stupid gang..." Aimi replies.
"Hey... don't say that so loud..." Eli whispers.
"Why?" Aimi asks. Eli sighs and turns back around. "I told you to visit Yuki's grandfather... he can teach you how to defend yourself... He IS a master of martial arts... Right, Yuki?"
You hesitate to look at Aimi, who's staring at you. You feel super confused about what's going on. You still are stuck on the part of you being this Yuki person.
"What gang are you both speaking about?" You ask.
Eli turns to look at you. "Toman..."
Toman? THE TOMAN? TOKYO REVENGERS TOMAN?
"Toman?" Confused, you tilt your head, wanting to know more.
"You don't know who they are?" Aimi asks. You hesitate to shake your head. "Eli has been getting himself into a lot of problems with them..." Aimi says, crossing her arms.
"What did you do, Eli?" You ask.
"What makes you think I'm the one causing the problems?" You shrug at his question. The teacher walks into the classroom, and everyone goes quiet.
You zone out, thinking about the name Toman.
What the hell is happening? Why is this happening? Who is Yuki, and why AM I Yuki? These questions keep bubbling in your mind.
Is this a dream?
You look at Eli, who has his head down. I'm going to ask him more questions after class. You think to yourself.
After the first half of class, it's now lunch. Aimi positions her desk to face yours. Hana skips into the classroom, grabs a chair, and faces it towards you and Aimi.
"What happened to him?" Hana asks, pointing at Eli. Eli looks up and furrows his eyebrows.
"Why is it when you all see me covered in bruises, you all want to act dramatic as if you don't already know?" Eli huffs, clearly irritated. Now that you can see him better, he has short black hair that curls up at the ends. He's skinny-looking but not too skinny... a bit below average maybe? He also doesn't seem too short... he's definitely taller than Hana and Aimi.
"Why do you keep getting yourself beaten up...?" Hana mutters.
"Because they are bigger and stronger than me..." Eli hisses.
"They are bigger and stronger than Yuki... but I bet you she can still beat them up." Hana states, smiling at Eli. Eli squints his eyes and flares his nose.
"That's because she was taught martial arts... as you can see... I have not been taught." Eli states, pointing to his swollen eye.
"Then ask Yuki's grandfather to teach you." Hana insists, smiling at you.
"Exactly... that's what I said." Aimi smiles.
"Too expensive..." He replies.
"Eh?" Hana raises an eyebrow, leaning forward.
"Yuki's grandfather said he's willing to teach us for free since we're Yuki's friends." Aimi says.
"Fine then, have Yuki fight them for you." Hana implies, playfully swinging her fist.
"NO! I'm not going to have a girl fight for me." He whines.
"You sound like you just want to be beaten up, Eli." Aimi sighs.
"THAT'S NOT IT EITHER! DAMN... I'm going to eat lunch with Ren..." Eli huffs as he gets up and walks out of the room. Hana sighs and takes a bite of her food.
"What a crybaby." She muffles as she shovels food into her mouth. You look towards the door Eli left out of. You furrow your eyebrows and look down, still confused about what's going on. You get up and walk towards the hallway.
"Yuki... where are you going?" Aimi asks. Hana looks at you with her cheeks all puffy and full of food.
"I- uh... I'm going to grab a drink really quick." You say, walking out of the room. You see Eli slowly walking down the hallway in the distance.
I need to ask Eli something. You think to yourself as you slowly follow behind him.
