Family is what matters the most!

Two and a half weeks had passed for the Giove Famiglia. Yoruichi, Hotaru, Odysseus, and Hoshika had dedicated themselves to training for Soichiro. Their pride had been badly damaged once Soichiro was put in the ICU and they couldn't defend him because they were scared. Cowards, is what the three teenagers were. Cowards who couldn't even fight for theirselves. They had avoided going to the hospital to see Soichiro, afraid that he would never respect them again for their choice. Yoruichi was beating himself up badly as he couldn't look at his father's picture.

"You had always been the first to fight for Giove XI, why couldn't I have been like you? I'm supposed to be Soichiro's right hand man. Why did I hesitate unlike you, Dad?" Yoruichi asked the picture as he put on a 50kg vest and turned to see Renovatio standing at the door way with his magnum aimed for Yoruichi's head. He whistled an old tune that reminded him of the Amazing World of Gumball theme song. "Ain't it obvious, Yoruichi? You can't be like your dad. He was his own person, same as you. Stop constantly thinking about what your dad would; Ask yourself 'what would Yoruichi do?' for once." Renovatio shared his thoughts with a now less optimistic Yoruichi. Yoruichi dismissed Renovatio's words and walked out of his home with his air pods in his ears. Playing the Pokémon theme song, he went for a 5 kilometer run across Namimori Middle. He was stared at by a few girls, who were in awe of how much weight he was carrying with the vest, and their boyfriends had simply gotten jealous of Yoruichi. Ignoring them, he stopped in his tracks as he looked at Midori Middle, one of the most prestigious schools in the world. Two weeks ago, it had been wrecked by some of Bakura's people and the school was forced to be shut down for a few months. "So that means we get some new students here, at Namimori Middle. I wonder what they'll be like?", Yoruichi asked aloud as he continued to stare at the all girls school.

Out of nowhere, a hand was placed on his shoulder and he turned to see Kaname. The disciplinary committee leader was in... a good mood for once?! Yoruichi was pained to see the look of happiness on Kaname's face and punched himself in the face to see if he was dreaming. "Hello, Yoruichi. I know what you are thinking: Are we getting transfer students from Midori Middle? Potentially, yes. If they don't want to be eaten to death at Kokuyo Middle, they'll come here." Kaname informed Yoruichi as he stood next to the boy and looked ahead as the sun shined bright into their eyes. Smiling at this, Yoruichi saw Hotaru walking up to them with her sister on her back. Hotaru looked unexpectedly tired as Moegi begged for some cotton candy. "I'll get you the candy! Just stop pulling on my hair, dude!", Hotaru said to her little sister and Yoruichi couldn't help but laugh at the two girls bickering. Kaname, albeit a little reluctant to do so, chuckled as the two girls continued to argue in front of the boys. Kaname did feel a little embarrassed being near them; It just reminded him too much of Arisa and himself. Speaking of Arisa...

"Kaname, how are you feeling, man? Has your injuries healed up?" Yoruichi asked the boy and he held up his batons at Yoruichi. Yoruichi quickly put his hands up in defeat, not ready to die yet by the hands of Kaname. But it wasn't Kaname's intentions to harm Yoruichi, no, he wished to show him the battle scars of his batons. Hotaru, on the other hand, was giving Moegi one of her bottles of apple juice to make her calm down. "My body is fine, but my weapons are not. Fighting Bakura damaged them badly... I might have to repair them soon. Knowing that silver haired bastard, he'll keep coming for us until he gets what he wants." Kaname said to his colleague's as he heard the voice of Arisa, who was in a wheelchair after the Bakura incident. She was being taken to Kaname with the help of his personal chauffeur, Izana Kunagiri. Izana was not very fond of Kaname, you could just tell from the scowl on her face as she looked at him. "But next time, I'll be ready for him. I won't lose against him a second time. I'm just glad that he was man enough to give Arisa back." Kaname said as he put away the damaged batons and stepped towards Arisa with a smile on his face. He rubbed her hair as Yoruichi and Hotaru's faces became very gloomy once he spoke of being ready for Bakura. In truth, the two Giove mafioso's didn't think they had what it takes to beat Bakura. They couldn't even beat their individual opponents without the help of another person!

"Kaname! You know your mom told you not to fight anyone else for the time being!", Arisa scolded him and he shrugged her words off as if he didn't hear them at all. Stopping Kaname from fighting anyone seems to be impossible. He's always been a fighter since birth; True story, he actually tried fighting his way out of his mother's womb when he was born. Lord knows how much pain she already was in at the time. Izana patted Arisa's shoulder as she glared at Kaname. Her eyes seemed to be filled with hate as she glared at him. From Moegi's point of view, Izana looked to be a scary woman and she quickly hid behind Hotaru. "Kaname will never stop doing what he loves the most. Hurting people without a second thought." Izana boldly stated in front of him and he laughed it off as his brass knuckles appeared. He held up his fists in her face, clearly threatening her and showing his dominance over her. Izana opened her mouth to speak but no words came out and turned away as she took Arisa on a stroll throughout the shopping district of Namimori. Kaname rolled his eyes and muttered "dumb bitch".

Hearing him say that, Moegi copied him and called Hotaru a dumb bitch. "Dumb bitch! Dumb bitch!" She casually repeated at her older sister and Hotaru stared at her with a horrified face. Quickly reprimanded Moegi, she turned to face Kaname and shushed him for cussing around Moegi. Once again, he shrugged it off and chuckled as Moegi kept repeating his words at Hotaru. Growling at Kaname, Hotaru carried Moegi to an arcade a few blocks away from the hospital. Watching the two head off to the arcade, the boys had finally been left alone to reveal their true thoughts. Looking down at his hands, Kaname couldn't help but take much more pride in them than he has before. "Kaname, do you know exactly what happened to Boss?" Yoruichi asked Kaname with a serious look in his eyes and Kaname sighed as the wind flew past them. His black jacket being lifted by the wind, he pointed at Yoruichi's forehead before speaking.

"Your boss or whatever you call him fought Bakura with a smile on his face. He knew Bakura was dangerous, so dangerous that he put his own body and life to the very brink of death. He was only thinking about protecting you guys until he could defeat Bakura. Your lives... mean a lot more to him than anything else." Kaname informed Yoruichi with a clenched fist and he softly punched Yoruichi in the chest. Yoruichi had expected to be knocked out but surprisingly, he was still conscious and hadn't felt any pain in his body. "That flame on his forehead... burns bright because of you guys. It may not seem like it but I respect that kind of friendship. So keep fighting for him, so that I may fight him on equal terms one day." Kaname said to Yoruichi while turning his back to him. Yoruichi nodded his head in agreement as the two boys began to walk away from each other. They had nothing else to say to each other as the sun dawned on them.

"Just so we're clear, we are still enemies. I just wanted to give some advice to you." Kaname shouted at Yoruichi.

Yoruichi laughed as he waved at Kaname. "Sure, Kaname! I'll be there to beat your ass if you need to be set straight." And with that, they went their separate ways with earnest smiles on their faces.

..........

February 17th. The 12th family still hadn't decided to check up on Soichiro because they were off doing their own things. Annoyed by the abandonment the 12th family had been showing to Soichiro, Hoshika rounded the teenagers up in the Tsukuba household and spoke to them all. She wasn't angry but she definitely wasn't happy with their actions. "You guys are Soichiro's friends, why not visit him in the hospital? He misses you guys." Hoshika said as Odysseus was drinking a cup full of coffee (probably decaf) and sighed as Hoshika began to lecture them about the importance of family. Having heard these words before, Odysseus held up his hand to gain her attention. "We can't just go back to him. We left him to fight Bakura all by himself because we were scared to fight. Hell, Yoruichi and I couldn't even beat Elric! We had to retreat because we were still too weak with the training YOU  gave us. Honestly, we're not close to worthy of being in his presence as of now." Odysseus said with saddened green eyes. His gloom look slightly brightened once his phone set off with someone calling him. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and answered the call with a sigh.

"Yes, Stefan? Did you complete the blueprint I sent you?" He asked Stefan, one of the Giove's head engineers, and rubbed his chin as he waited for his response.

"Yeah, it's coming your way right now. Can you step outside for a second?" Stefan asked of Odysseus and the teen obeyed his order. The moment he stepped outside the front door, he was greeted with a group of Mafiosi from the Giove Famiglia. Each of them had rifles pointed at his chest and he nearly had a heart attack. The mafiosi laughed and put their rifles away, playing a sick joke on Odysseus. Odysseus flipped them off and was greeted by Stefan, who had a green box in hand. Stefan was no older than 19 years old, and smiled as his blonde hair was ruffled by Odysseus. "You seriously came out all this way to give me this?", Odysseus asked the engineer and he laughed at Odysseus's  question as if it was a huge joke.

"Are you kidding me? Bro, this was the most fun project I've ever done in all my years of being in this family. Why don't you test them out right now?", Stefan asked of the boy and Odysseus eagerly held the box with explosive excitement. Yoruichi watched Odysseus open the box from the door step, though he couldn't make out what was inside the box. From what he could tell, Odysseus was beyond happy once this Stefan guy gave him the box. Rushing back inside, Yoruichi speculated what the object had been with Hotaru and Hoshika shushed them both once Odysseus came in. Nothing noticeable had changed about Odysseus until he put his hand on Yoruichi's shoulder. The poor boy felt a zap throughout his body and jumped onto the ceiling. Hotaru laughed at Yoruichi for behaving like a cat. In the seek of revenge, he let himself fall on Hotaru and they broke the couch Hotaru had been sitting on. Seeing the white gloves on Odysseus's hands, Hotaru and Yoruichi rushed over to him to get a closer look.

"These are what Stefan and I call... the Gale Gloves. They can conduct currents of electricity to the center of the gloves, where the palm would be, and I can use it to shock our enemies. The only downside of using the gloves is that it will be hard to take off without accidentally shocking myself." Odysseus informed them all and Yoruichi was amazed by Odysseus. He would have never guessed in a million years that Oddy was able to make such a powerful weapon. The more you know, huh? Hotaru, on the other hand, found it to be a little dull in the naming area. "Why pick Gale as its name? Gale means wind or something like that, right? Why not go with raiden?", She asked Odysseus and he looked away in embarrassment for not thinking of a name like that. Hoshika laughed at them and picked up the pieces of the destroyed couch, a little stingy that she had to go buy Lucia a new one. Matter of fact, speaking of Lucia, where was she now? She had rarely been in the house after Soichiro was placed in the hospital. "Ever since Renovatio trained Soichiro, Lucia hasn't been herself lately. Maybe its that time of the month for her...?", Hoshika wondered as the teenagers began to discuss their training.

"Like I said, I have been spending most of my time designing these gloves. They were made to make up for the lack of my attack power, so I haven't really done much training. How about you, Hotaru?" Odysseus asked the white haired girl and she nodded her head for a quick second before answering. She hated using her sword ever since she stepped foot inside Shimon Middle, having killed humans that had no other emotions than killer instinct. The thoughts of Lana crying out for help as she was being eaten alive had haunted her for quite some time. She would occasionally dream and relieve the exact same experience. She now spent most of her time trying to occupy herself so she couldn't think about those memories. And Misa? Whatever happened to her? That girl was gone for who knows how long. And she was quite helpful in her battles. "I've tried perfecting the stances Hiyori taught me. Believe it or not, but God Lee I hate having to move my arms around like its a damn bat. Anyhow, I've more or less perfected the first 8 stances. The last two are so complicated that I can't perform them without almost chopping my own head off. But, what about you, Yoru?" She said all of that with a tired look on her eyes. She even removed her jacket to reveal cuts from the training she had done. Her arms had been bandaged to stop the loss of blood, so that pretty much told them that she was super serious about her training. Yoruichi couldn't have agreed more with Hotaru and Odysseus as he took off his vest.

Only wearing a shirt, he casually dropped the vest to ground and it made a loud thud. Hotaru raised an eyebrow in confusion whilst Odysseus was trying his best to figure out how that was even possible. "Everything I'm currently wearing is weighted 10 kilograms each. This should be enough to build up more muscle! My dad went through the same training as a kid. So if he can do it, I can too." Yoruichi proudly said as he punched his chest in excitement. Hotaru happily clapped for Yoruichi while Odysseus had STILL been trying to understand the laws of physics that Yoruichi was bending. Calmly walking in with a new couch, Hoshika sat it where the previous couch had been and left a note saying YOU OWE ME 300$. Anyhow, she stood in front of the teens and smacked all three of them against the back of their heads. "Why are you three still standing here!? Go speak to Soichiro or else you'll have a sai in your heads!!" She bellowed and the three of them immediately dashed out of the house. Hoshika quickly locked the front and back doors to prevent them from sneaking back inside. She sat on a chair and drunk some tea as her plan had finally been set into motion.

—————————

The trio had walked inside the hospital and had been greeted with armed guards. The guards had guns pointed at them, "State your names." One of the guards spoke with steel in his voice and Hotaru had been completely unaware of this. She took one step and a bullet had been fired at her foot. Hotaru jumped up and moved next to Odysseus, while slowly nodding at him. He sighed as he stepped to one of the guards and held his hands up, "Sorry to disturb you guys. We were just coming inside to check in on my grandpa, Maxwell Shelton." Odysseus informed the guards and one of them figured it had been a lie. Slowly walking towards Odysseus, the tip of a pistol had poked his chest and Hotaru kicked the guard in the balls. Holding back his laughter, Yoruichi punched the remaining guard in the face and uppercutted him. Odysseus quickly moved forward and placed his glove on the torso of the guard, electrifying him. Rushing inside, Odysseus ran to a counter and shouted for a nurse. "Ma'am, what is the room number of Soichiro Tsukuba?!", he nearly shouted at the nurse and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Ugh, he's in room 304. Just up the stairs, okay? Now get out of here." She said and the trio quickly ran up the stairs with heavy breathing.

"Man, why had those guards try to kill us? It's not like we are some assassin's- Ohhh. That kind of explains it now." Yoruichi answered his own question with a laugh and Odysseus ran into the door of room 304. Falling on his back with a bandaid on his forehead, Odysseus opened the door and saw Lucia folding some of Soichiro's clothes. She turned to see them and welcomed them all in with a group hug. "How did you even get in here? I thought the guards had been instructed not to let troublemakers like you three in." She teased and Yoruichi blushed a deep red. He looked around to see Soichiro but the boy hadn't been in the bed or anywhere else for that matter. Just where could he had gone? Lucia noticed the troubled look on Yoruichi's face and sighed. "He's alright, just taking a shower right now. But Yoruichi, may I ask you for a favor?" Lucia asked of Yoruichi and the two stepped outside of the room.

Facing Yoruichi, Lucia placed a hand on his head and pat him before staring him deep in his eyes. "You want to be Soichiro's right hand man once he becomes the Boss of the Giove? Then promise me that you'll do whatever it takes... to keep him and the rest of your friends safe and out of trouble. Protect him with the fists that God gave you, okay?" Lucia said to Yoruichi and turned away as she could hear someone approaching them. Shame that they couldn't be close to discreet, huh? Yoruichi fist bumped himself as he let out a ferocious roar at Lucia. The woman nearly jumped out of her shoes when she heard his roar and was tempted to roar in his face. "Mrs. Tsukuba, I promised myself to never let Soichiro get hurt. I'll keep my promise this time, I swear it! If I can't protect Soichiro, I have no right to be considered his right hand man." Yoruichi said as he crossed his heart, making an oath to the lord himself and Lucia smiled at the boy before a cold hand had met her arm. A knife had already been at the person's neck and Lucia was trying her best not to slice their throat open in front of Yoruichi.

"I meant no harm, Mrs. Tsukuba. I came here to finally meet Giove XII in person." A feminine voice came from the person as Lucia studied her. Looking for any signs of hostility, Lucia held her knife up to the throat of the young woman. Yoruichi was sweating buckets as Lucia was examining the girl. He was nervous that Lucia would perform a homicide in the hospital. The door behind them slowly creaked open and an eye appeared to be watching them all. Especially Yoruichi, who hadn't been observant of the eye. "State your title and family. Maybe I won't kill you if you are from an important Famiglia." Lucia said to the young girl and her face quickly became uneasy due to Lucia's threat. Luckily, the door fell open with a whoosh and Hotaru laid out on the cold floor. Opening her eyes, she saw Lucia reaching for something in her jacket and the white haired girl shot up from the ground.

She frantically waved her arms around, trying her best to persuade Lucia into not shooting her. "Her name is Misa! I don't have the slightest clue of her last name but she was pretty helpful in my fight against Lana. I don't know why because she was working with Bakura, right? So then why-", she immediately realized her mistake in bringing up that Misa had been working with Bakura and saw Lucia grab Misa by her throat. The woman lifted her without the aid of dying will bullets, certainly speaks volumes of her strength, and had the sharp end of her knife at Misa's chest. Yoruichi, who had no idea what was going on, snuck back into the room before he was roped into being killed by Lucia.

"Mrs. Tsukuba, she isn't an enemy. I don't know why but she was working for Bakura... maybe to help us beat him. So she could be a friend!" Hotaru said as her eyes were begging Lucia not to kill the girl. Misa wasn't struggling out of her grip since she had gladly accepted that she could possibly die. But the image of Soichiro popped up in her head and she weakly tried to loosen Lucia's fingers from her throat. Lucia had shaken her head in dismay before dropping Misa to the ground. "That's what they all say, Hotaru. But they always turn out to be snakes. Don't let your guard down around this... girl." Lucia warned Hotaru before chasing after Yoruichi and Odysseus. The two boys had been taking selfies in the hospital bed Soichiro had been sleeping in. Muttering "stupid tiktok", Lucia had tried to set the two straight. Ignoring them, Hotaru faced Misa and sighed. She didn't really know what to say to the girl. She hardly knew her but it felt as if she had seen Misa in a different place other than Simon Middle. Shaking off that feeling, Hotaru held Misa's hand to gain her attention. She looked so lost in her thoughts.

"Misa, come inside. Soichiro is busy bathing but you'll get to see him in a few minutes." Hotaru informed the young girl as she practically dragged her inside and Misa looked to see chaos in the room. Odysseus and Yoruichi had been pointing their phones at Lucia with the flashlights on to annoy her. They hadn't failed in that and she was getting ready to fire a couple of bullets into their phones. Hotaru laughed loudly as Lucia had been disarmed by Hoshika and the two women had gotten into an argument on whether or not the kids needed to be disciplined. Yoruichi recorded the argument while trying his best not to laugh hysterically at them. Odysseus, on the other hand, had shocked himself as he had been taking off his gloves and now his hair had been all fringed in several directions. Green sparks emitted from his hair and Hotaru was concerned on whether or not he was still alive.

"So this is what the 12th generation does in their free time? They all look so happy just being near each other. The two old ladies are... not really... eligible to be... around them." Misa had thought as she light chuckled, which gained the teenagers attention and they walked towards her. Odysseus placing his gloves away in the green box, yes he had taken it with him, and held up his hand to wave at Misa. Greeting her with a bow, Yoruichi earned a thumbs up from Odysseus and Renovatio from God knows where. "Your Misa, right? Hotaru had told us you basically prevented her from having her head being taken off by some yarn using lady." Yoruichi said with Odysseus cracking up at the yarn part. Hotaru flipped them both off in anger and was about to retort when a familiar boy walked in.

"If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!", the voice of the 12th Giove boss had gained all three of their attentions. Hotaru, Odysseus, and Yoruichi got onto their knees with their heads facing downwards. Soichiro, who had been in his street clothes for once, had been startled by them doing such an action. Grabbing Yoruichi by his arm, he tried to make him stand up but the boy wouldn't budge. Hoshika shook her head as Soichiro found it hopeless to make them stand up as normal people.

"We are sorry, Soichiro-san! We shouldn't have left you to fight Bakura all alone. Please forgive us!" All three of them said in unison and Soichiro was getting more embarrassed by their actions. He rubbed the back of his head and looked to his mother for guidance, only for her to nod her head. Clearly, there had been some miscommunication here but it didn't matter. Soichiro nervously chuckled as he put on a serious face, stunning Misa and Lucia. "It is okay, guys. I was just lucky to have made it out alive! Though, most of my bones were broken. But I'm glad you all are safe! If I can break every bone in my body to protect you guys, then so be it." Soichiro said as Yoruichi had been inspired by his words and Odysseus viewed him to be some sort of incarnation of God. Hotaru, on the other side, was amazed at how quickly Soichiro was able to recover.

Hadn't he said that most of his bones had been broken in the fight against Bakura? He should be in the ICU for that type of injury! But, she wasn't going to complain as her friend was okay and there hadn't been the need to worry. "Are you.. the real Giove XII...? Soichiro Tsukuba...?" Misa asked and Soichiro stared at her for a few seconds. He was trying to remember if he had ever seen this girl before in his life. Kicking those thoughts out of his mind, he held out his hand to shake it with Misa. She was confused for a little bit until Yoruichi gently shoved her to his hand. Hiding her embarrassment, She shook his hand and the two had been silent for so long that it was beginning to creep Hotaru and Odysseus out.

Yoruichi had been slightly unnerved by this, talking badly under his breath. "Giove XII, I've always wanted to meet you! You seem like such a kind person!", Misa exclaimed as she excitedly shook his hand wildly and Soichiro was surprised by her sudden movement. She was jumping up and down in joy of finally meeting one of her biggest idols in the mafia world. Lucia looked at Hoshika, both women whispering to each other and pointing at Misa.

"This won't end very well, will it?" Hoshika asked the older woman and Lucia shook her head in response to the question. Lucia could just feel something was off with this girl; How was she able to deduce that Soichiro was Giove XII? She doubted that Bakura would have told any of his subordinates what Soichiro looked like. Probably in fear of them stealing his prey. And Hotaru told her that she had known exactly what to do in her fight. It all couldn't just be a mere coincidence. Something was up and Lucia was going to sniff it down. Hoshika almost felt the same way as Lucia, it was all too suspicious to be coincidences. "I'm not Giove XII, despite what everyone calls me! I'm Soichiro Tsukuba, the biggest loser of Namimori Middle. Soi-loss, to be honest." Soichiro said to Misa, which had greatly shocked the girl. He really views himself as nothing more than a loser? It broke her heart to hear him speak badly of himself like that.

Hotaru, Yoruichi, and Odysseus shook their heads at his words. He wasn't a loser to them; He was like family to the teenagers. He was someone who deserved to be surrounded by love instead of hate. In these past few weeks, they have slowly understood that Soichiro was not their boss... but a loved friend. A friend who can't stick up for himself with no one backing him up. "This time... we'll protect him!", they thought in unison as their eyes had shown burning determination and Soichiro had noticed this. He didn't know why but the three of them looked to be stronger than before. Not just physically, that is. Spiritually as well. Just what the hell had happened to them?

"Giove XII- I mean, Soichiro. Maybe we can talk later, it's about... Bakura. You should go talk to Kaname. He has probably noticed you're awake now. Oh, and I hope your hands heal soon!" Misa had exclaimed and walked out of the room with Hotaru waving goodbye. Yoruichi had examined Soichiro's hands and they seemed to be fine. He was confused on what that girl was talking about, he even had Odysseus look and his green eyes couldn't pick up on anything wrong with Soichiro's hands. Soichiro nervously chuckled as everyone began to look at his hands and pulled them back into his pockets. "Well, my hands couldn't fully heal. Renovatio said that he ran out of his pills so I'll have to wait until my birthday to get them." Soichiro explained to the family and Lucia let out a shaken sigh with Hoshika patting her back.

Lucia was still upset about Soichiro's injuries, despite him being almost fully recovered. Cursing Renovatio under her breath, she sighed as she reached for her purse and searched for some gummi worms. Hoshika pointed to the door and whispered, "Go on, Chi-Chi. Kaname needs to talk to you... about whatever Bakura had said." Her purple eyes glanced over at the door and Soichiro nodded before crouching. He silently snuck out of the room with his friends giving him silent shouts of courage. Once out of the room, he found the elevator and pressed the down button as he stepped in. Lucia turned around and saw that everyone else had vanished, leaving her to clean up the messy room. "DAMN YOU, GIOVE!!" She shouted and Soichiro could hear her voice as the elevator made its way down to the lower floors. Wishing that the elevator would hurry up, he looked at his notifications on his phone and saw that Yoruichi had been sending him videos of Odysseus shocking himself on accident. Or was it accidental? Sending a concerned text back, he stepped out of the elevator and made his way to Namimori Middle.

——————————

Soichiro snuck into Namimori Middle and made it to the roof top. Just as he had expected, Kaname was there resting on the ground with both of his eyes closed. He opened one of them and his crimson eye glanced towards Soichiro. He scoffed and sat up with his brass knuckles immediately being on. Soichiro held up his hands in submission and Kaname chuckled. "What brings you here, Soichiro? Is it to make me one of your lap dogs or something?" Kaname asked and Soichiro shook his furiously. As if he could ever make the strongest man in Namimori his lap dog! Kaname was just on an entirely different level than he could ever reach. Standing a bit closer to Kaname, Soichiro looked at the sun and had noticed it was setting.

"No. I just came to talk to you about what Renovatio had said in there... about you being a tool for the Giove to use. You're not-" he hadn't gotten the chance to finish his sentence as Kaname held up his fist to Soichiro's chest. Soichiro gulped as the crimson eyed beast of Namimori had looked at Soichiro with anger written all over his face. "Renovatio doesn't know a thing about my family. We may have done bad things in the past, but we wouldn't sell our souls to some trash off the street." Kaname informed Soichiro as he retracted his fist and Soichiro fell onto his back. The boy almost suffered from a heart attack had Kaname decided to punch him. An angry Kaname once sent 15 boys to the hospital and they've been bunking ever since then. But Kaname decided to speak again, "I don't know why... but that bastard's words had really hit my chest. So I'll ask my grandpa to confirm his bullshit. If it turns out to be true that I'm nothing more than a puppet for you to use, I'm going to kill every single one of your friends." Kaname threatened Soichiro with gritted teeth and he understood why he was acting like this.

Had he been in Kaname's shoes, he would probably kill himself. It wouldn't be a nice way to live if you were just meant to be... an expendable tool for some people you didn't know. Shaking his head once more, Soichiro attempted to get up and sneak out of Namimori Middle but Kaname's words had gained ahold of his attention. "Tomorrow, I'll find Bakura and end his miserable life for making me look like a little boy in our fight." Kaname had probably just said this in anger and didn't mean it. But something told Soichiro that the disciplinary committee leader wasn't joking around. Hard to imagine this was the guy he once fought with. Taking one last look at Kaname, Soichiro turned around and ran down the stairs of the school to exit. Kaname watched the boy run out of the school and laughed before his eyes looked up to the sky. It was beginning to start going dark, had it been that long since he got here? He could almost see the moon from where he sat and sighed. "Maybe I could have been a little nicer."

.........

And that's the end of this chapter. It was mainly centered around the main characters: Odysseus, Yoruichi, and Hotaru to slowly understand their place in the family. Soichiro, on the other hand, doesn't believe he is capable of being the boss. I wouldn't either.

Hoshika: Wait, how the hell am I not a main character???

You are. Just... Yeah, okay nevermind.

Misa: Ooh, can I ask you something, Zenin?

Yea, go ahead.

Misa: Why hasn't Lucci used the 10-year Bazooka yet?? It could save him a lot of trouble if his 20 year old self fought in his stead.

To be honest, he forgets that he even has the bazooka. It's kinda self explanatory, a 10-year old is always full of so much energy so they rarely get the chance to think properly.

Misa: Oh. Sweet.

Arisa: Why am I in a wheelchair-

Because... you were in a coffin for so long that your legs had fallen asleep. Anyways, we should wrap this up-

Renovatio: JOIN US NEXT TIME ON 12TH FAMILY CHRONICLES, WHERE LUCCI WILL FINALLY BE MAKING A GOOD CAMEO. WE LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH THAT WE EVEN DECIDED TO THROW IN CHARACTER Q&A AND SOME OTHER STUFF. THANKS FOR COMING, SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS, GOODBYEEEEE SHSKSJSKSKS

I- yeah, what he said. Except maybe that- *Camera turns off*
