Chapter 8

It was already afternoon when they lost hope. There was no sign of Moebius in Setagaya or Shibuya. They weren't exactly pleasant to put their noses in other territories but at last no Toman member troubled them.

'' It's like the earth swallowed them up.'' Kasumi said, checking her Naruto stickers nervously. Beside her Dango forced her head in her hands making her stoke her brown unconsciously.

'' Well the earth should spit them out already.'' Katsu said scratching her head making her already messy pink hair messier

'' Actually..it's more like someone hide them on propose.'' Katsuki said silencing the girls '' I'm the only one that thinks is weird Junko find out, while she was at the hospital,that Toman will fight Moebius. Let's not even talk about knowing the exact place.''

'' Didn't she talk with that Pah-chin guy?'' Kasumi asked making the brown haired girl stop before nodding to herself

'' You are right. Let's-'' Hakku rough growl cuts off Katsu

A couple of feet's away from them a boy, wearing red glasses, mid-length chestnut hair with the bangs tied back. He was staring at them shocked,mumbling something, blood dripping out of his nose.

'' Hey! You have no other business?!'' Katsu yelled at him making him jump

What followed was an entire biography of them, as Ueta Inu members, of their gang, Alpha and dogs. It was both informative and terrifying.

'' You..you're..-'' Kasumi tried to say

'' Do you know where Moebius members are?'' Katsu asked smiling bewildered at the guy

'' Yes! I..Actually, can one of come with me to show to my friends? They would never believe me I meet you if not! Please! '' before he could start groveling Katsuki, who stayed silent until now approved

It wasn't a good idea in the slightness.

'' You!-'' Katsu yelled pointing at the nicest looking guy in that group '' Are my brother now!'' The pink haired guy, plum pompadour adorned with several hair clips '' If you are lucky, you can be my husband later.''

The guy, Atsushi 'Call me Akkun', pointed to himself with a dumb expression and even more stupidly nodded. Good fucking luck.

'' A sewed item.''

'' Takes too long and we will overwork Sachiko. A ring.''

'' Expensive, who knows how many members are actually there. A sticker.''

'' Yeah..no. A tattoo.''

'' Not everyone will want one and I'm not putting kids to take tattoos. A key ring.''

'' ..Sounds good.'' Soushi writes the answer down '' A brooch.''

'' Hmm.'' Takumi writes the answer down ''...oh!''

'' Ah! Shit you scared me..'' Soushi said looking at Takumi weirdly

'' We are so stupid.'' Takumi states '' Why don't we just think of an image. Like a dog.'' she points to where the two new pups where resting '' It can be a code too. And it's match us as well.''

'' Oh..like this guy!'' Soushi gets up opening the window. Outside with his back at them Zeus was staring at the gate. '' We can just put his face on pendants, or brooch or sew it subtlety.''

'' Let's find a clear photo them.'' Takumi said already searching on the laptop

'' Why though?'' Soushi ask confused '' He is right there.''

'' Well, it's not like he would listen to us now would it?'' Takumi said sarcastically still searching. Soushi clicks her tongue making both Takumi and Zeus look at her '' Uhh..''

'' See he is coming closer, not like he could enter.''

'' You know that his leash is just for decor right?'' a loud crack made them tense up and at the second crack Zeus huge body entered the house leaving behind droll and dirty paw marks. '' Hey buddy..'' Takumi said kind of scared. Zeus stares at them a little then seats down with a heavy thud

The girls got to work.

Ayuna was a silent,calm girl most of the time, she liked to joke or tease her opponents in fighting and that's exactly what Danuja needed right now.

She was felling restless, itching for a fight. To feel blood under her fingernails, to hear the sound of bones breaking, the screams, the run after them. She continued to think of this knowing that it was better than thinking of Tsubaki broken form on the hospital bed, her girls sobbing or Junko empty eyes.

Maybe it was because of this they took the slowest train to Shibuya.

'' I get a message from the Three K, apparently Toman has inside problems and it's splitting in two. Despite that their Commander is still Sano Manjiro. We should go find him.'' Ayuna said making Danuja nod

With Shoto in front and Suzume at their side they begin to walk towards the Shrine. Despite that they find Mikey on the way there, at the riverbank sitting on the grass. He looked sad,angry and troubled at the same time. But Danuja has girls waiting for her at home and has no time for Toman problems more than she already has. Her wishes rarely got true though.

'' I didn't think you would come.'' Mikey said suddenly, leaning back eyes closed. Danuja makes sign for Ayuna and her partners to stay back, she squats down behind Mikey making her long skirts rest on the ground, her carefully sewed flower petals more visible. The chains clicking each other makes Mikey opens his eyes surprised '' You..are not Ken-chin.'' he said, big black eyes blinking startled, he looked stupidly innocent for a gang leader

'' I'm not.'' Danuja said tilting her head to the side making her bags cover half her face '' I'm Danuja. Alpha of Setagaya Starved Dogs and I come to thank you.''

'' Me?'' Mikey ask his stupid innocent eyes still holding

'' Mhh.'' Danuja nods unbothered '' You stopped my girl from-''

'' I'm hungry.'' Mikey cuts her off. He smiles brightly and gets up stuffing his hands in his pockets, staring at her '' Eat with me, Jun.''

'' Oi!! Have-!'' Ayuna swallows her words at Danuja raised hand

'' Sure.'' she makes sign to Ayuna to follow at a distance '' You like omurice?''

'' ...with a flag?'' he ask looking sad again

'' Sure-'' Danuja shrugs ''-why not.'' Mikey smiles returns and Danuja feels that fucked up warm feeling curling in her chest and messing up all her plans.

All the way to the restaurant Mikey hummed happily. The fact that the food didn't have a flag made him sad again, though the fact that Danuja took out a mini flag out of her little pockets made him sad and happy at the same time

'' Are you sure you aren't related with Ken-chin?'' he ask chewing on his food '' He always has little flags at his as well.'' he tries to look angry again but doesn't really make it

should she say she has no idea who Ken-chin is??

'' I'm sure, I'm an only child. Mi-''

'' You know, when I first heard you I though you were him,even your hair is similar with his'' he say pouting, pointing to her high braid ''.. but now, the leader of the 2Gen of Sukeban didn't get out of her territory just to give me food didn't she?'' he says his eyes changing while his movements remained the same

'' I didn't. I come here to thank you and let you know that I have a debt to you.''

'' A debt.'' Mikey say finally letting the food '' What kind.''

'' A thank you for not letting Tadashi Junko to lose her mind and kill Osanai. And a debt, where we will give all our manpower to help you, no matter the situation.'' Danuja said holding her head high and not buckling in the slightest against Mikey stare

'' Then, I will use this debt someday.'' Mikey say vaguely.

Danuja nos and tries to leave '' Why do you carry mini flags with you?'' he ask suddenly

She takes the flag out of the food and turns it upside down ''If I press hard enough with this part, I can poke an eye out.'' she puts the flag back and leaves, a silent member at her side and two partners waiting at the door.

that..was fucking terrifying Mikey said in his head looking at the innocent flag i should thank Takemitchy for winning me this debt

'' Why did you promise a favor like that?'' Ayuna ask on the way home

'' Think what would have happen with Junko and Tsubaki if Toman wouldn't have stopped Junko from killing the guy.'' Ayuna was silent all the way home

Danuja House

''What the absolute fuck happened with my door?!''

She find her girls bundling together sorting papers out, Takumi and Soushi drawing and Zeus snoring on the newly broken sofa. At last she knows now what happened with her door.
