[Warning: contains strong words]
...
"Hey, Reiji, what's up?! long time no see eh~"
"Y...Ya son of a-" "LANGUAGE! Language, brother..."
The one exiled a few years ago, Fujita Kenta, is the younger brother of Reiji-kun.
"You've changed a lot, brother, it seems like yesterday when we used to play Hanetsuki side-by-side. What happened, went into a fucking flashback?"
Reiji could do nothing but look down on those old days he spent with his brother.
"It was not me who forced ya to leave Kitori grounds. It was father's order..."
"Father, Father, Father... or we say the old fart, that ruined my life and turned it upside down. We could've built our empire. Fuck Kitori, Fuck that old man. You could've come with me, we were like the best of all. But, you, you were a fucking coward, that wanted to inherit what his old man had left for him."
"Coward? Eh~ What had happened to you, why you were exiled. Do these fellas of yers know?"
"Fucking shut up! Don't open your god damn mouth."
Kenta points the revolver at Reiji.
"Why? Will it affect yer fucking reputation?" "I won't hesitate to put this bullet in your fucking brain."
Murmurs began behind Kenta's back. Kenta looks at them nervously, changes the gun's direction, and shoots in the air. "SILENT!", shouts Kenta.
"The next bullet is going through your head."
Suddenly, a few men approached with...
"A...Akemi!"
"Oh ho! Look who it is..." Kenta trying to touch Akemi-san.
"Fucking touch her and I will rip that hand of yers." "Pull that asshole to the ground."
Some of Kenta's men, run towards Reiji to hold him up. Reiji shoots a bullet that hits one of them. But, couldn't manage to escape their grip.
"Fu-" "Oh seems like the Darkest hour of everyone's fate is getting delivered. Ding Dong!"
Reiji stares at him, and Kenta smirks, pulls out a knife, and, "Dear Sister! I won't kill you like that, so easily. Instead, I have a better treatment for you."
"Fucking Bastard!" "Oh dear brother~ Are you scared?"
Kenta swiftly swipes his knife through Akemi-san's clothes tearing them apart and making her breasts partially visible.
"The Famous man of the fucking Kitori is scared... Mwahaha..." "Ya pimped dick bastard, I am gon' kill ya, ya motherfucker." "Oh, really?".
Kenta points the gun toward Akemi's head and asks, "Where is your treasury, Armoury, and all the fucking precious things in your house. I have a gun pointed towards this bitch."
"Don't dare ya call her that." "The clocks ticking." "It's in the North Wing of the Mansion." "Good. Now that it contains precious articles, there must be a lock. Tell me where the key is." "There is no key, it's a combination one." "Then code?"
Akemi: "Don't tell him, he is-" "Shut up! Shut up you fucking whore, open your mouth and you will be blowing this gun" "Oi, ya have a problem with me, kill me not her."
"Seriously bro, you think I'll kill you like that, YOU FUCKING TOOK EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING YOU UNDERSTAND. Nah, Nah, Nah, I'm not gonna kill you. Tell me now, what is the fucking code?"
"Give me something to write." "Hey, got a piece of paper, give it to him."
He hastily began to write the code on the paper. As soon as he wrote it down, he hands it to Kenta, Kenta checks the paper thoroughly.
"As per yer demands, now leave Akemi." "Um, sure, I will give her the full freedom..."
Fire shot, the bullet was released into...
"A...Akemi!" Akemi-san was shot.
[PRESENT]
Morie-san looked at Reiji for a while, Reiji's eyes filled with a guilt complex and pain. Morie didn't dare to ask, what happened next. Suppressing his curiosity, he said to Reiji-san, "You should perhaps take some rest.". "Yeah, I think that as well."
Reiji-san walks away to his dormitory, meanwhile, Morie-san settles down himself in the living room. He looked at the kid, who was sleeping peacefully. He opens his cloak and hangs it on the hook attached to the wall of the stated room. He lies on the couch, making himself comfortable, and picks up the glass of whiskey that Reiji-san left and drinks it to release all the stress and anxiety. Placed the baby on a different couch and there was a sigh of relaxation. Of course, a lot is going on in his mind. But one thing he realized from Reiji-san's story is that. They have the same enemy—Wakaru Gang. While drinking up the whiskey, his eyes get closed and night sleeps, enjoying the warm atmosphere.
The next morning, Reiji-san wakes up and walks to the living room, where he left his guest and finds no one except for the baby. He rushes out suddenly and checks there was no one outside, he checks the backyard, the washroom, and every other possible place but couldn't find the man. He goes in inside the house and finds a letter on the table near the couch, written,
Dear Reiji-san,
First of all, thank you for all of your services, and the story you made me hear, I am still curious to know what happened next but I should leave your place, I am going to tell you everything right now, what exactly happened, and why are we running. The child is the next head-chief of the Hatsukoi Village in the Eastern region. I am the head chief's loyal who was assigned to keep the child safe and sound and make him reach a far land where he could lead a proper life. Yesterday, I saw a mentor in you, your enemy is our enemy. The Wakaru influenced the villagers and made their protest against us with hails and fires. The head chief died protecting his wife and child and then the mother died protecting her child. Leaving the child in my hands. Lastly, I just want you to teach me everything you can. Make him your disciple and kindly protect him. You are the man he needs and will be obliged to be. I will go surrender in front of the Wakaru men and will try to fake the young master's death.
Thanking You
Kirigaya Morie
"What the fuck? He left this lad alone with me. That bastard needs to learn a lesson, but right now what am I gon' do..."
While thinking about it, the kid starts to cry. He looks at him for a while, stands up walks towards him, holds him in his hand, and tries to calm him down. But, he cried even more. He went to the kitchen, pulled out a pan, and poured some milk into it. Warmed it. Checked and feeds it to the kid.
"Poor lad looks like he was hungry. What is your name? His name was Kirigaya Morie, Nah that bastard is an idiot. Why don't we call you... Tadashi. That's right, Tadashi."
The sun was perpendicular to his head, it was Reiji's hunting time, but he couldn't leave the child alone at the shelter. So he plans to drop the hunt and sat there on the couch. Closed his eyes for a while and there was some knocking outside on the door. He stood up instantly, picked up the baby, hid him under the sofa, and opened the door. As expected, it was the Wakaru men. Two of them on the door asks him. "Hey, was there a man with a child here, in the village."
Reiji declines them boldly.
"How can we trust you?" "Go check around. If ya find kill me, if not then you're dying"
They stepped in. While walking inside the house the radio catches some signals.
"Leave Reiji alone." "What?" "The man has surrendered, and says the child died due to cold." "Oh, alright. Sorry for the intrusion Reiji." They began to walk back but were stopped by Reiji.
Reiji says, "Since the deal was to you getting killed if you don't find anything."
"Hey man, sorry, it was a mistake." "You know, after all that happened to me, I have become unforgiving." "Reiji look, we could lend you some bottle of whiskey and cake, just don't begin a fight now or else..."
One of them pulls out a gun, but Reiji was fast enough to go behind and break his neck. The other one was about to pull his weapon out but Reiji stabs him with a knife in his throat resulting in the death of both of them.
He then puts one by one on his shoulder and moves outside the door and throws them under a tree. Comes back home, and brings out the baby beneath the couch.
After a while, he thinks of Morie. Hearing that he made such a huge move, Reiji feels bad.
"Ah~ The man sacrificed himself for good..."
