Drip

You see a girl in the middle of the field of flowers. It could be daisies or roses, anything exactly. She exudes warmth from everywhere around her. You are far. Way too far to interact.

Yet you still run. Your legs are heavy. With each step, it gets heavier. Feeling the hands grasp on your feet attempting to bring you down below. You are now in front of the girl who's squatted down picking up flowers.

As soon as your about to touch their shoulder the air turns cold. It crawls upon your skin making you shiver. You forgot something, didn't you? You look to the left and see a wall. On the wall, 5 silhouettes hang off 5 knives stuck in between both of their palms.

You quickly forget the girl as if it never mattered before and walk closer and closer to the wall. Anger building up for an odd reason. You get closer and you see the pink skin. The moment you are in front of them you feel the need to vomit. The visualization of these pigs disgusts you.

As soon as you look away you see her. She aims her gun toward you and the trigger is pulled.

Drip

Quickly waking up Akagi checks around the sheets and everything to see what happened. He is clean, with almost no blood until he sees his laundry basket filled with bloody clothes.

It had been a couple of days since the attack and right now his mind was going through it.

He decided to walk towards the bathroom to check how it's doing only to find the faucet slightly on only dropping droplets of water echoing throughout the room. He doesn't check the mirror at all. After that, he quickly takes a shower and is now getting an outfit on.

Remembering yesterday he decides to wear something different. He goes with a white cap with a black hoodie going along with some grey sweatpants. On the feet, he has on some dark socks. Thinking of the shoes he wore yesterday the cops must have gotten what sort of size he wears.

He decides to wear some vans and then gets his keys, wallet. He then walked towards the bathroom. As he enters he sees the copy of him. It looked just like him but worst. It had dark bags under the eyes and a pale complexion. He had to fix this.

Anxiety crawled up like a snake under his stomach where it shivered all the way towards his nape. He went towards the cabinet and saw some Tylenol and took at least three pills of it.

He quickly got his phone out and started making calls around as he was calmer now. He first called Mari for a check-in on how the buildings were doing and then called the gang leader right after that. All buildings were doing great and money was being made.

The problem was that the Yakuza were finally fighting back for territory. They had trashed some of our guys and left them in the hospital after that. We had to deal with them somehow so I came out with a plan to negotiate. Though the main goal was to scam them.

We decided to meet up on an alleyway between Roppongi and Musutafu. As we are meeting and I enter the alley from the entrance close to the sidewalk and take a right towards an area filled with rubble with at least 10 people on the other side. Right behind me was Pink Shades, and some other goons.

I make sure to put on a mask so nobody sees my face and maybe I could use it as a bargaining chip as well. Walking towards the middle I see the group. All of them wearing bright colored cheap suits and such. The only one who looked decent was the leader among them. They were taller and were stocky as well almost like an American Football player.

"Get some seats down gentlemen."

The grunts quickly put foldable chairs and a table on the middle ground. The man in front of me looked sort of confident of some sort. The man in front of him was hesitant at first but still sat down. Then the discussion began.

"What's your name shrimp"

"Why my name is Orochi Kawamoto, how about you Mr?"

"Call me Masaki Tondo the leader of the Tondo Family!"

"Ah yes heard of you and your legendary tales from when I was just a newborn!"

"You bullshitting me kid?"

"No"

"Alright get to the point what did ya want."

"I see you want territory and we want men. How about a trade?"

"What's stopping me from taking all my men and taking over all of your buildings?"

"Well, that would be the law Mr. Tondo"

"How so?"

"We acquired these buildings through the law, though not by honorable and diligent actions, of course, each owner signed the contract of the ownership of the building towards us."

"Can't we just stake those buildings out and drain you guys of money?"

"You can try and waste your time, we have enough money saved up to last years."

"..."

"Since you just threatened our buildings, I require at least two times more men than normal."

"The fuck? Who the hell do you think you are demanding shit from me and my men."

"Well we are the Kawamoto Real Estate and we have a trade just for you."

"I trade you at least three buildings you give me thirty men."

"I thought you said you wanted two times the men"

"Ah yes, ninety men it is!"

"Wha-"

"You better hurry up and sign before the sale ends mister!"

Akagi quickly slammed a knife down on the table in between the man's fingers. Lowering his mask and leaning closer he asked in a chilly voice.

"Don't you dare think a denial is an option."

Tondo at the moment was actually terrified by the end as he was about to just beat the kid up then all of the sudden a knife slammed down between his fingers. Cold sweat rolled down his neck and it was as if time was frozen.

He was first looking at the knife but then he realized that the kid was now in front of him, lowered mask for the eyes to look at him. He saw eyes twisted with circles on the inside at the moment.

'This person is fucking crazy!'

The man quickly took a pen out of his front chest pocket and saw the contract down below him. He quickly signed it and gave it back to Akagi. Though he was huge and had confidence due to that, he was actually a huge coward at heart. The reason he got picked to be the leader of this family was because of his huge body.

It was something different though, humans back then in the stone ages were hunted down by the bigger animals that killed them for food it was injected into their genes that they were once hunted. Though through time that quickly dissipated as mankind became more powerful through thinking and inventions.

This as well applied to quirks as they were the next step toward evolution. Though the genes of being hunted never changed. The fear was still there. Survival was once again in charge.

"Alright, forty men for three buildings."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry since it's our first contract, I'll give you a discount!"

"..."

"On our way then, get the stuff gentlemen!"

The grunts and Akagi got the stuff and quickly went out of the alleyway in their separate ways into the shadows. Akagi quickly got home in excitement and then got on the computer.

He made sure to launch a VPN and a virtual machine for his computer because he didn't want to get traced. He decided to search the dark web at this moment for some information. He needed to look into organizations being with the government.

Just earlier 5 people who were part of the government were on him for some odd reason. They all introduced themselves as Section 13 of the Japanese government. He didn't get it at all. There was only one thing he could assume. They got the wrong person!

The Info he got from Section 13 was that the organization was part of the government. They were responsible for taking out threats that were young and below average. Most of the group were raised by the government to hate criminals and treat them like dirt.

The plan now was to stomp on this organization, I don't care if they got me by accident, they now have my info after all.
