making deals

// Lucy POV //

On the way to Tokyo, I had two headphones in and was ignoring the rest of the world. Every now and then the car would go over a speed bump and I would slightly rise from my seat, if you were wondering we are currently in one of the 5 blacked out USV's right now.

I haven't opened my eyes for 45 minutes now and to be honest this is one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had. just focusing on myself for 45 minutes is all it takes for a healthy mind... Nah who am I kidding.

I pull out my headphones and quickly the rock music I was listening to fades away, I felt the corners of my lips tug upwards and a grin was formed. "Yosh! I'm in the mood, let us do battle!"

I saw the driver jump and laughed as the car swerved slightly, "Hahahaha- ouch!" Only to be met with a chop to the head by Miyu.

"Lucy, you knew what you were doing and still decided to put us all in danger? ~Sigh~ What are we going to do with you?" Miyu gave me a look of disappointment but I don't care. Right now all I can think about is the adrenaline rush that is soon to come.

The driver spoke in his monotone voice, "Well were almost at our destination miss Lucy."

I like this guy, he's only ever given me good news, despite only having one conversation with him.

// 15 minutes later //

I couldn't sit still, I reached down my leg and felt the blade strapped to my right thigh. There was another one strapped to my left calf. Under my long sleeve yukata lays a blade hidden under each sleeve. behind me was 28 men armed with pistols and assault rifles, on each of my sides was Ryuen and Miyu both armed with glocks.

I strode into the 8 story building just me and my two trusted aids, the others were back up so they just waited in the SUV's and other vans placed outside before we arrived. I called the leader of this particular region in advanced so they knew I was coming and had people waiting for us to escort us up stairs through the elevator.

When we got to the top I walked directly toward the largest room in this building knowing who resided there, "Hey Asahi? Wanna tell me why we have beef with the f*cking Yakuza!?"

He stood up and made a motion to calm me down with his hands, "Lady Lucy-"

With a flick of my hand there was a blade speeding past his head and now stuck in the wall, he made a mistake by looking away from me and toward that blade. With light steps, I was immediately in front of him with another blade pointing directly at his jugular.

See the thing about Asahi is that he is stupid man, I told him to have the floor he was on evacuated so our meeting would be private. Not a single person besides the man Ryuen currently has in a headlock knows we're here.

I slightly nicked his neck so he knows i'm serious, "Tell me why I had to go and desecrate my own body in order to stop the complete annihilation of my organization, Now."

Of course this whole anger act was just a strategy of intimidation, that tattoo is badass.

He scrunched his eyebrows together, "You did what?"

I grabbed his wrist and stabbed his hand into the wall behind him, "Aaaaahhhhh! F*ck!" He started to cry. What a p*ssy.

I took off my Yukata and turned my back to show him what happened, and beyond the pain he showed was utter shock. "Now tell me who gave you the idea of p*ssing off the largest gang in Japan."

After a few seconds of him not speaking I twisted the dagger embedded in his hand, "AH F*ck! Stop it already!" I stopped to let him catch his breath, "His name was-"

The main door that we entered was opened, "You can call me Professor Ayanokoji."

I shot Miyu a look and she already had her firearm pointing at the mans head, "Tell me why I shouldn't pull this trigger." Miyu was not as happy to be here as me.

The man who I knew to be Ayanokoji Kyotakia's father raised his hands with a smile on his face. "Because if you do then the Japanese government will be all over you for killing an innocent politician."

I kicked Asahi in the back of his leg to make him kneel and finish him off with a quick kick to the side of the head. "Ayanokoji huh?" I feigned ignorance of who he is, "The consequences may be disastrous but don't think I won't have her put a bullet in that cute little head of yours."

I sat on Asahi's desk that was placed almost against the back wall of the room, my legs crossed and hands in my trouser pockets. He smirked at me, "Oh? And what if I told you that I had multiple people in America ready to assassinate your father if I don't contact them within 20 minutes?"

I didn't let my face change in the slightest for 10 seconds, and the suddenly, "Oh no! Please don't kill him!" I got on my knees and begged the man, "Please, oh please don't do it! I beg of you!"

Everyone in the room was confused at my late reaction, finally I couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, "Hhahahahahahahaha you should have seen your face!"

// Professor Ayanokoji's POV //

What is happening right now? I had this whole meeting going to plan until this girl gave me the most sarcastic plead I have ever seen, right now she is laughing and rolling around on the floor meanwhile a pistol is digging into the side of my head.

The boy with purple hair had long knocked out the man he was detaining, "Lucy what the hell are you doing? He just threatened your fathers life and your laughing?! What's wrong with you?"

I had done my research of course, this boy is an orphan. He would naturally respond unkindly toward any threat of a friends parental figure.

Lucy... The girl that single handedly built a fully functioning, country wide gang in the space of two years, that is scary. What I want from her however is something else, well to be honest I want two thing from her but only one is necessary. "I advise you to take this more seriously, that was not an empty threat."

She wiped a tear from her eye due to too much laughter and her laughing began to quiet down, "You think I don't know that? If he dies, nothing happens to me right? Why should I care? Hey Ryuen, I could join you in the orphan club, pahaha."

Ryuen didn't like that joke but he held his tongue, It was the other one who responded to her, "Should I kill him?" Her voice was empty of any hesitation, ready to pull that trigger. Maybe even happy to?

Lucy stood from the floor and smirked, "Nah he's a good kid. By the way you can lower your gun now, I'm worried your arm might start to ache." Miyu Abe pulled the pistol from my head but it still feels like it's still there, that's going to leave a mark for a few days.

I reach for my phone in my pocket to call of my men in America but the purple headed boy threw a right hook at me, of course I dodged it, "I was just grabbing my phone, I'll call off my men in America. It's clear I won't die today." I do feel a pain in my leg though as if it's strained, I'm getting too old for any kind of martial arts.

The Ryuen boy looked at his boss and was responded to with a shrug of her shoulders and a smile, she was as calm as could be. I pulled my phone out and texted my men the agreed on encrypted message to have them pull out of their mission.

I adjusted my jacket from the sudden movement, "Well the reason I set up this meeting was to get you out of that school for a little while, we wouldn't be able to make any deals when you were inside it."

// Lucy's POV //

From where I sit on Asahi's desk I give the man a go on motion with my hand, "Well there are two things I want from you, one more than the other." I was getting impatient and decided to let him know it by pulling out my phone.

I think he was expecting me to call someone or another as he stayed silent, that was until the noise ~HEHE HAHA~ resounded out around the room. I was playing clash royal, and started a game.

I could hear Miyu stomp over toward me but ignored it, until I received another chop on the head, "Ouch, what the hell Miyu!?"

She didn't say anything, just gave me a glare ~Sigh~, "Fine, hurry up and tell me what you want."

I shot the professor an unhappy look, "The first thing I want is money, children and men, this is the main thing I want from you so tell me what you want in return."

I gave him a dumbfounded look, "What is wrong with you? Don't you know that the two are usually exchanged for one another. How can you ask me for both? Ugghhh" I groaned, "I don't possibly know what I would want in return."

He gave me a unhinged look, "How about my son?"

What? But I thought Kyotaka was his prize possession, why would he possibly give him up.

I do notice that for the first time since entering this building, Miyu shows an expression of shock, as does Ryuen but to a lesser extent.

I of course know the true value of having Kyotaka Ayanokoji do my bidding, but I can't show that, "Hahahahha we truly are a bird of a feather huh?"

He knew what I meant but decided to smile and ask anyway, "Whatever do you mean?"

That smile of his tells me that he really does know what I mean, "Just because they are family, it doesn't mean we care about them, am I right." He nodded, "Good, but what good does your son do me when I could just raise those other children to be better than your son, not to mention if Kyotaka would be loyal to me."

This was it, the moment that the white room will officially be revealed to me.

// Professor Ayanokoji's POV //

I smirk as I tell this 16 year old girl a national secret, "There is a program I run called the white room, it is designed to create the perfect human being. The children are implemented into this program as early as possible, from birth if I am able."

"Right now this program is very limited due to the finite resources the government are allowing me for this, in order to expand it I have decided to go the illegal route and ask you for help. I know that your a person with a lot of power, and that you can get it done."

"I know what your going to say so i'll tell you right now, Kyotaka Ayanokoji is the only success to come out of the white room and is my prize possession. He is loyal to a fault and i'm sure you know how genius he is."

"So what do you say? Are you willing to fund my opperation?"

I hide it but my palms are sweating, not due to fear or anything like that but anticipation. I have put all of my wealth toward this and have dedicated the last 10 years of my life to this and now the continuation of it is solely down to this girl in front me.

I see Lucy Hall continue to play her mobile game, I did notice that she was playing the game the whole time I was speaking but I didn't let that deter me from my little sales pitch. I waited for her to put her phone away and look me dead in the eye.

"No. Do you think I'm stupid? Did you really come to me thinking that I would accept such a shitty offer?" Of course I didn't. "If going to continuously fund this then I need some constant return from it."

I nodded at her, "Of course, that would only be right. I will give you one of every four 'participants' who succeed the white room, my son will be yours when he turns 18. He still has two more years left in the white room after all."

She looked like she was mulling it over in her head, "I agree to those terms, however I would like to add to what I get out of this, I want 20% of any money generated from this and unrestricted access to these facilities that will be built. I have no doubt that you will be selling off these children who do not succeed so I want 20% of the money you get from those sales. Of course I can find you people who are willing to buy them but that will include a finders fee."

I couldn't be happier, "Agreed, should I write up a contract?"

She gave me another stupid look, "You really think your so smart huh? Not a chance will my name be linked in any way what so ever to this 'White room'. I am not going down with you if your found out."

I smirked again, she knows her stuff. I grew perplexed when I watched her pull out a knife from her calf under her baggy trousers, and I grew shocked when I saw her slice open her hand. "A show of trust." She said.

She handed me the knife and with no hesitation I sliced open my right hand and shook her right hand, "So it's a deal?"

She nodded, "So what about the second thing you wanted from me?"

I was just about to get to that, "I want you to-" She held up her hand so I stopped speaking.

She looked at her two companions, "Can you two kindly leave the room?"

// Miyu Abe's POV //

~Slam!~ The two large doors closed behind me and Ryuen, I suppose I should speak first, "So, why do you think she didn't want us in there?"

Ryuen ignored me and walked his way down the other end of the hall, I guess he isn't in a good mood? Probably because he knows that all the children that will be going into this white room is going to be orphans.

Ryuen like to act all tough but he's a softy at heart, a rough upbringing will do that I guess.

// 5 minutes later //

I was getting bored when Lucy exited the room by herself, "Not a word of this meeting, understood?"

Neither of us spoke, but we both nodded.

// Kyotaka Ayanokoji's POV //

~Shiver~

What was that? Maybe I should close the window.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posting two chapters today as they go accross the same point in time but are completely different.

I thought it would be for the best if I just wrote two seperate chapters that ran accross the same time instead of one bad chapter that flicked from perspectives showing two completely different things.

Also let me know if you have any characters you want me to go more in depth of, it can be anyone in the series.

It can be Ayanokoji if you want a sneaky peak at what it was like growing up in the whiteroom.

Hirata if you want to know how he lived his life and exactly how the death of his friend effected him.

Even one of the teachers if that's what you really want.

I would also like to point out that if you have any suggestions or ideas that you think could be interesting for this FF please tell me and I will see what I can do. Naturally if anything comes out of those suggestions I will give that idea credit to whoever it was that gave it to me.

I've just had a bit of writers block recently and am finding it rather difficult to make a story like classroom of the elite interesting without it being basically a 1 to 1 copy from the original because I am following the story line that is already set.
