Sachi stood by the hanger doors, waiting patiently. Staring at the tip of her boots. She was patient even if her index finger kept tapping on her forearm. She was patient even if her shoulders were really tense. She was patient even if she was on high alert, and would pull out her gun in her pants at the slightest jump.

“Why are you so jumpy?” Megumi was before her.

“Don’t act like you aren’t feeling the same” she said. She had felt her coming, but couldn’t react because of her nerves. Was this how she was going to freeze when they came face-to-face with their big problem?

Megumi got into the passenger’s seat, giving her sister time to calm down. She was the one driving, and wanted to leave in one-piece.

Sachi leaned away from the hood and walked to her side. She opened the door and got in.

“No security with you” her younger sister pointed out.

“I thought you’d be too busy trying out some new Gucci product, or a new addition to your thousand pair of shoes”.

Megumi laughed. “Isn’

    Lee sat, lost in thought. So young and he had a lot to think about. It wasn’t good for his state at all. He had developed eye bags. He knew his father was a gangster don. He was happy even, at the idea that his father was all powerful and bad. That meant that no one would mess with him. That no one would mess with them.Imagine his surprise when his cousin told him, that a boy he had grown up with, a boy he had called brother, and a boy he shared his mum with. Had killed his father. He had loved Takashi, but he loved his father more. He loved his family more. Now, his dad was dead. His mum was in a special home. And his cousin was a freak.He never wanted to take over from him.He wanted to live his life freely.And his dad didn’t expect him to take over.He was already expected to take over by others. When he realized that, he didn’t want that. He was already born, and a particular thing was expected from him. He’d have to live up to someone else’s expectations.Jun was the one to ta

    Eisuke laced his boots. He didn’t like his job, nothing would change that. But there was an advantage to it. He didn’t like gangsters. He hated them with everything he owned. They were just like parasites. Always multiplying. And if no one was going to take them out, he would.He jumped at every opportunity to do it. Even if the pay was below his quality.Gangs were just like predators. They lured you in with treats and a good time, and when they were done with you, could either keep you, or cast you away. He had lost his brother to those monsters. And Hayata might be screwed up in the head for wanting to kill his sisters, but that was his problem.Gangs were a problem with society that needed to be eradicated.He looked up and the assassin was in his face. He hadn’t heard him. Qualities for being an assassin. The name wasn’t just a name.

    Megumi kept a close eye on Hayata as her legs crossed the railing. Her sword out and pointed at him. She tried not to glance at her sister. She knew she was alive. She was just resting. Just like she did when they fought Takahiro.“We never did talk did we Meg” he said moving around on the waffle floor. “I saw you the first and only time I came to your mansion. You were so cute. All dressed pretty, and you had ribbons in your hair. I talked with Sachi and she hated me the minute she saw me” he sighed.“Maybe because I was the first child. Or maybe even in her imperfect world, she thought she had a little perfection and I ruined that” he smiled at her. “And now look at her” he gestured to her prone body. “So peaceful”.Megumi grit her teeth and stepped forward.“She isn’t dead though. You two are so attached……and as a big brother, I wouldn’t deprive you two the displeasure of not dying together”.Megumi attacked. Swinging her sword fast and Hayata dodged.

    Gang violence.Something you see home and away. A natural phenomenon. Just something that is inevitable. From the most advanced countries to the underdeveloped you’ll always see a gangster.A group whose aim is completely unknown. Maybe just to cause trouble. Maybe they just like the fear and respect. Just to cause destruction, or to deal in drugs, human trafficking and many other things that gangs get into.It’s just best to be on your own and be careful. Avoid them at all costs and stay safe. Do not become their victim.The TV went off.The woman sighed and stood up. She was currently the only one home and it was getting really late. Both her sons weren’t home yet. She wondered what they were doing.“Mum I’m home!” her son yelled.“You’re back” she said relieved. She looked round. “Where’s Takashi?”“What?” her son asked confused.“Yes him”.“I thought he was here already” he said wide eyes.“No he isn’t Lee. You two were meant to be together”.“Mum don’t worry. I’m sure he’s fine. A

    He didn’t know who he talked to on the phone. Probably that girl, and he was given an address. He was told he could come anytime he felt like, and also alone. Well that wasn’t a problem.The problem was his loving brother.Who wouldn’t leave him alone, and kept asking questions like he was doing now.“Who gave you that card?”“I found it myself” he replied.“They don’t just leave cards like that on the street” his brother said.“How would you know?” Takashi asked with a smirk.Lee buried his face in his palms, and then ran his hand to his hair slicking his curls back. “Look Takashi, you’re my brother, and I want to be sure that you don’t have yourself in a whole lot of trouble”.He rolled his eyes.“You can’t get yourself mixed up in….Just tell me you’re not in any sort of trouble”.“I am not Lee,

    The next day he felt horrible. Sleep was meant to make everything better, but it just made it a hundred times worse.Was this how everything was going to be?KNOCK! KNOCK!That had him up on his feet.“Takashi”.It was Geiru.“What is it?” he asked.“Get off your lazy ass and let’s go”.“Where?”“Did you forget what happened yesterday? Get dressed let’s move”.Takashi dashed into the bathroom. Five minutes later he was dressed, and ready to meet with the leader of the gang.He opened his door to see Geiru standing there impatiently. “Done?”“Yes” he replied all smiles and she groaned.“Let’s go”.They were not at the stairs yet, when the woman of yesterday who approached them, appeared out of nowhere.“Good.

    Karou dropped her drink hard on the bar counter. Just because her boss was going through, well whatever she was going through, didn’t mean she would have to put off her duties by laying low. Money didn’t just fall from the sky for gangsters. This was a job, just like every other job.They didn’t get to just sustain themselves from protection money. They carried out jobs for pretty important people that couldn’t get their hands dirty. There was also illegal dealings. Arms and ammunitions, drugs, and important art pieces. The whole deal. And she was the one that handled all that. Why gangsters loved to close the deals in clubs, she would never know. But she did it. She wouldn’t take a car to attract too much attention to herself. She fill the bag with what they needed, like she always did. Get dressed, and take the entrance that was meant for her.Cars could be tailed. If she walked, she would see anyone coming. She had closed off the deal. Luckily they had a good dealer. The Mistr

    Haru walked leisurely to his home. He had a long day, working for an unemotional, sadistic, and just a downright dark human being was tiring. And that was coming from him. A gangster who is meant to be used to all that. Things had changed since boss Megumi left for a better life with her man. Leaving her demented sister in charge. Well that was the rumor. That she had a few screws loose upstairs. Turned out she was. Her eyes were always blank, devoid of any time of emotion. Not at all like her younger sister. She had determination, and ruthlessness in there.Sachi was like a robot. Like a ghost. It was chilling. The only time she laughed was when one of them got hurt, or openly mocked them for their everyday choices. It was a pastime and a hobby for her. But he had been loyal to them. And he was willing to endure the weird woman.For the prestige. For the money. For the power.As he approached his home, he felt hot. It wasn’t that hot around this time, so he didn’t get why it was ho
