As the day was turning over into the evening, I received a call from an unknown number. Naturally, I picked up the call. "Hello? Who is this?" "Sorry for taking your contact info without your permission, newcomer." A familiar tone, it took me a second to recognize it as Mishiki-oyabun. "Ah, Mishiki-oyabun, it's fine, and what brings you to call me at this hour?" "Why am I interrupting you or something?" "It's not like that I was just a bit concerned, you calling me at this hour, shouldn't you relaxing at this point?" "Yes, You're right, I would've been in my bed peacefully sleeping if something didn't bother me since this afternoon." "And what is that thing that keeps bothering you? Mishiki-oyabun." "The other gangs with the exception of the Kakaido Clan, have been quiet lately." "You have a point." "That's why I'm asking you to investigate their regions with me." "Pardon?" I was caught by surprise by Yumiko's unexpected request as she rarely goes with someone alone, let al
We arrived at a large penthouse. It may not look at it at first glance but this penthouse is where clients buy their illegal or even legal yet hard-to-obtain goods, although you may sometimes not receive the package here but rather at the port. After getting out of the car, A porter greeted Yumiko and shou. "Good evening dear clients, what brings you to Hachibana's trading company?" "We have some business with your boss." "Ah, certainly, Please follow me." 'This is quite the house' Shou thought to himself. After getting in and off the elevator and having a door before them to what presumably was the boss's office of some sort. Lies an individual with quite a convincing marketing skill that it is hard to decline the products he offers. It may seem innocent or at least welcoming on the surface since it's a neutral clan. A yakuza gang is always a yakuza gang. If a client is unable to completely pay for their products, the company is willing to lend you money with interest, a very la
Friday morning came and Shou arrived at Yumiko's office front door, just in time. "Shou arrived just in time ma'am, just like you asked him to," Toda replied as he opened the door for Shou to come in. "You're quite obedient up until now, Shou. Although people sometimes get cocky once they get at least, acquainted with people with higher status." "N-no, not at all ma'am, why should I do that? Just being part of a large yakuza group is already a large feat for me." 'And besides, you're someone that shouldn't be meddled with.' Shou thought to himself. "You have a point. I think you'll become a promising member of the Mishiki clan one day." "I don't deserve such praise from Mishiki-oyabun I only did what any respectful person would do." Yumiko let out a smirk from his response; "You're good with words aren't you." "T-that's not true, It's not like that ma'am." "I know, I was just messing with you." 'Mishiki-oyabun has been having fun playing around with the newcomer lately.' Toda
Yuichi arrived after three minutes has passed after Raiden left Shou in charge of looking after their lounge in case anyone needs their team's assistance. "Huh? where are the others Shou-Kun?" "They all went out shopping for equipment and all that stuff." "Ah, I see, so Raiden asked you to watch over the place huh?" "Yeah, It was getting kinda boring honestly." "Hahaha, You have a point... Um, hey, Shou-Kun, I'm curious about something but it's okay if you don't want to answer it." "What is it?" "About your parents, I was wondering why did they do that to you. You know leaving you behind with all of the money they borrowed and left all their responsibilities on you." "Ah, I don't really know either." "Huh?" "Well, If I were to think about it... Maybe it's because they're lazy or something, They don't really seem to care about me as much, since they don't really try to get to know me personally or deeply, so I just ignored them and they ignored me and I just tried my best in s
Raiden and the others soon returned to the headquarters and went to Yumiko's office afterward. "You called for us ma'am?" Raiden responded. "Yeah, I made a deal with Daisuke, the head of the Hachibana clan, to get something for me with a down payment and that down payment is that you guys are going to assist him in getting the equipment that I ordered." "Yes, Ma'am!" As we were going to leave her office, Mishiki suddenly called us back. "Wait... No, Nevermind." "We'll be going then, Ma'am and we'll come back safely, don't worry." "Heh, Yeah, Yeah, you got me, Now go!" As the sixth division left her office, She thought to herself; "Those bastards...But why do I have a bad feeling about this." After the sixth division met up with the Hachibana clan, They set out to their destination in one of the largest ports in japan, Nagoya, Located on the Pacific coast in central Honshu. "We have plenty of time until dusk since it's only in the afternoon so you guys should look for something
While Hotaru and Shou are holding off the ones on top of the container, The rest of the team jumped down to assist their captain and Daisuke. "Captain!" Yuichi Yelled. "We're fine, but where is that Ashfield bastard? "Strangely enough, He's nowhere to be found outside either." "What? Why would he trap us here without stealing anything from us?" Suddenly they heard a blaring sound of a truck engine going in their direction. "That crazy lunatic!" "Captain, Let's get out of here." "Tsk, We can't just leave empty-handed!" "We'll think of a way! For now, let's just go!" Raiden and Daisuke shooked violently inside by the force of the truck hitting the container from behind. "Captain!" "I know that!" Raiden, Daisuke, and Yuichi managed to get out safely before the truck nearly broke the container wall. "Daisuke! I want your men to take the package if they can and get to a safe area, We'll deal with him." "Y-yeah!" After Daisuke ordered his men to try to take the package just a
'Hm? That gunshot sounded different from any of our weapons.' Raiden thought to himself. "Hey, Yuichi-" When Raiden turned his attention to Yuichi, only to find him bleeding from his side as he was shot. "YUICHI!" Everyone heard Raiden yelling Yuichi's name. Hotaru and Shou heard a slight faint of his yelling, but that was enough for them to get concerned. "Hey, Older brother, Should we be concerned about that?" Shou lets out a small smile and said; "No, They'll be fine but we should hurry up and assist them. Seems like enemy reinforcements have arrived." "That's true. Then, Let's kill them all!" "You got it!" "Argh! I-it's fine Captain, It's just a bullet wound on my side." Yuichi said with pain as he was coughing up blood as well. "You bastards!" Yuichi prepared himself with his gun ready to shoot at them, as the enemies might take the opportunity to strike them while they were vulnerable. Raiden gritted his teeth in anger as to what they did to Yuichi, but he knew he was
The law enforcement chased after them with 3 vehicles with them and a helicopter. It seems like they're already in formation for capturing them. They took the chase to the highway rather than driving on the street since driving with a large truck and several escort vehicles are proven to be rather difficult to get rid of the law enforcers. "What do we do? Boss." A 2nd division member yelled. "Pop their wheels off! Don't waste your bullets on trying to kill them, they'll only keep going if there was another driver with them." Mishiki Replied. "Yes, Ma'am!" 2nd division members rolled down their windows and started shooting the officer's wheels. But the law enforcers expected that and started going fast, ramming their bumpers to one another, Firing back as well. "Tch. Take this!" One of the 2nd division members drops grenades to throw the cars overboard or at least slow them down. One police car was hit, Two vehicles left, but if they don't manage to shake off the others they'll
Both of them ran up to each other and wound up their punch. A right hook by Yumiko and a left hook by Nao. Equal speed, equal range, and equal power. A punch that connected on their faces and sent both of their bodies in the feeling of numbness as their dopamine and adrenaline rushed up both to their heads. Yumiko rushed up first as Nao was recovering. A forward lunge kick at the very tip of her toes. Nao stepped back and grabbed Yumiko's foot as it was extending and kicked off the ground and lifted herself by using her foot as a leverage as she balanced upside down on her. Using the momentum as she fell down, he stretched out her legs and let it fall down like a hammer on Yumiko. Barely dodging the kick, it fell on Yumiko's shoulders, and instantly felt the pain and numbness. Nao fell down to the ground and instantly rebounded by pushing her arms off the ground and launching a diagonal kick to Yumiko's sides. Yumiko braced the impact and grabbed Nao's foot as it was recoiling ba
A year passed by and during that time, Yumiko's reputation in her school grew and students made a name for her, they call her Onihime, The demon princess as people saw her with her father going home from school after the meeting with two menacing people escorting them. People that wanted to follow Yumiko grew larger and larger, slowly over time, Eventually, Yumiko established her own gang that was named after their school but was later named The red vultures. People from other schools heard rumors about her and started a commotion from time to time but every fight they started with their school, it would always end in a flash while still being beautiful, thus earning her nickname. People wanted to teach her how to fight better than they currently are, Yumiko didn't want to but instead make them gain experience by fighting in real battles and would try to assist them if they were ever in a pinch but she would never completely teach them as she thinks that they are not ready for it an
She immediately dashed toward me with a jab and stance ready."You think you're the only one who knows how to fight in this school? Well, guess what I can fight too, maybe even better than you!"Yumiko dodged her jab, Nao swung a few more attacks, an uppercut, next a right hook, and another but Yumiko managed to see through her like glass."What's wrong? Just a second ago you were bragging about knowing how to fight and even fighting better than me but from the looks of it, you seem to be slower than me.""Don't mess with me!" Nao swiftly attempts to strike her again with a liver punch but baits her onto stepping backward and going for a straight punch to her nose."I got you!""..."Yumiko manages to grab Nao's fist at the last second but still got her nose hit by the recoil."I admit that was impressive but Is that all you have?" Yumiko taunted."Bastard!"Nao went blind in rage and tries to attack her again, with her fists dowsed in rage, she recklessly attacks her with no regard
That day, Yumiko decided to confront Nao the next time she meets her again. The next day arrived and Yumiko confronted Nao at the schoolyard about the scandal she heard from Nao herself "Hey~ Yuko-chan, why did you bring out of the classroom all of sudden? Is there something you want to talk about?" Nao asked. "...Is it true?" Yumiko replied. "Hm?" "Tell me, is it true?" "What are you talking about? What do you mean it is true?" "Is it true that you're embezzling other people's money?" Yumiko said with a sharp gaze. Nao knew what Yumiko was talking about from the start but decided to try and get away with it so she started to make excuses as a last-ditch effort before admitting to her deeds. "Embezzlement? How Could I?" "Then show me the money that you eagerly wanted to hold on to." "Huh? Of course, I don't have it with me right now, why would I carry that much money with me? Do you know how much money we collected from those bullies that could possibly be from a victim's mon
Yumiko's parents were only proud of her achievements but only as a prideful asset to gain more influence in their name because they would only show off her achievements, she thought about it and if it weren't for those achievements they wouldn't acknowledge her. What she wanted was her parent's personal and genuine acknowledgment and attention as a parent and not as an asset for the influence of their family name. Middle school came around and she attended a school somewhere in Tokyo, in her midterm in middle school she was part of the smartest kids in school, and she was no doubt in the number one spot on their school leaderboard, but one of her classmates particularly stood out as she was observing her every move even her expressions and reactions for quite a while now. Then one day, she reached out to Yumiko. "I'm Shibata Nao, nice to meet you!" "Mishiki Yumiko, Nice to meet you as well." She said with a monotone. Shibata Nao has long blonde hair, quite athletic. People tend to
His appearance was beyond recognition, Hotaru felt relief as if someone took off the chains that were weighing her down after killing her abusive father. Her mother on the other hand was watching, lying on the ground on her stomach, Her face was filled with unbelief as she witnessed her daughter kill someone, her daughter that was once sweet and full of joy and innocence, killed someone. What's even more horrifying for her was that she heard Shou telling her now late husband that they were a part of a yakuza. "H-Hotaru, You're not actually part of the yakuza right? They're threatening you to do this right? Forcing you to be a part of them...Right?..." Said her mother with her voice trembling in disbelief. Everyone went silent and their eyes showed pity and coldness as if they were looking at a child who won't accept that the family they once knew was gone. All of them know the harsh and painful feeling of a person who you once knew, changed very differently... For the better or for t
One by one, they asked every person in the neighborhood to see if they could find Hotaru's old house but one after the other, all of them didn't know where she lives. Meanwhile, Her father called someone on the phone. "Yes, yes, I've brought her, Yes, It's a pleasure doing business with you too... Thanks to you Hotaru, Half of me and your mother's debt is settled, You're really a big help Hotaru." "Fuck you!" "... You know if you would've been an obedient daughter, none of this would've happened to you, I wouldn't have to force you to kidnap and beat you." "Liar! You still beat me and my mom when I was younger." "You were a child back then, you wouldn't understand why I needed to hit you." Hotaru started laughing at his audacity. "HAHAHA! I wouldn't understand!? Bitch fuck you! You have the audacity to tell me that?! HAHAHA! You're actually dumber than I thought." Feeling embarrassed, her father tries to hit her again until he was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who the
'Those guys who were following is earlier when we're in public...Seems like there's someone who hired some people to stalk us.' Ryota thought to himself."Captain.""I already know, Ryota, someone was trying to spy on us and getting information on our current whereabouts.""What do you think should we do right now? Should we tell the others?""No, that won't be necessary yet...Unless they try to stalk us again."'Although they did manage to stalk us in public areas, they couldn't keep an eye on us with our feints. It was too easy to evade them since it was decently crowded today, so it was only lucky...No I think they were clumsy because they underestimated us.' Raiden thought to himself.Earlier...'those two guys...They've been following us for a while now, have the others noticed it?'Raiden looks back to see that everyone has noticed that someone has been following them for a while except Shou who was pretending but already knows that someone was following them.'Seems like the ne
"What are you blabbering about? What do you mean beating me up? Have you lost your mind?" "... It's just what I just said, I'll be having my revenge today.""You fucking idiotic daughter. Do realize you're being disrespectful to your parents, if you could've just let him do what he asks for, you would've greatly benefited us from our debt in half!"Hotaru lets out a small innocent smile and replied."I'm glad you haven't changed, father, I was anxious that if I met you today I would've trembled in fear because of the trauma you inflicted on me in my childhood, but now I'm so pissed off right now that I don't feel anxious or remorse for you now.""Huh? N-no way you're-"Without letting him finish his sentence, Hotaru sent him flying with a drop kick to his face. While he was still on the ground, Hotaru took the chance and continuously punched his face into the cold cement floor. Even if his teeth were falling out with blood she still wouldn't stop.And Shou didn't stop her either as he
