Christmas Day

"Are you sure we should be here?" Kakucho asked as he looked towards Arakan and Izana.

"You are being scared of a prayer Kaku-chan, we had grown over it a year ago" Arakan responded as he looked down to see a man with blue hair wearing a Tenjiku uniform.

"Was it really alright for him to join us? " Izana asked as he too looked towards Hakkai.

"It's fine~ it's fine~ we are going to witness something special I can feel it in my bones! " Arakan said as he could feel a slight tingle in his spine.

"Hakkai!" Takemichi yelled as he entered the church.

"Takemichi!?" Hakkai responded astonished to see Takemichi there.

"Meeting with the Toman bastard it is clear he wanted to kill Taiju, why are we even watching this?" Izana asked.

"You see Iza-chin as devils we rarely have anything to do, we can't just go and start a war during these so-called peaceful times we need to entertain ourselves! and this right here is top-class drama!" Arakan responded with a grin.

"Arakan! if Taiju really loses or worse dies what then? would it not be equal to betraying your own kin?" Kakucho asked.

"Worry not, I gave him a little gift~" Arakan responded.

"So that is why his mana was pulsating randomly!" Izana exclaimed.

"But that guy Takemichi...he seems to be possessing a sacred gear?" Kakucho questioned.

"I am not sure about him though, it seemed like a sacred gear as well at first glance however it looks like some sort of latent magic" Arakan responded.

"Perhaps he is someone from the hero faction?" Izana muttered.

"His chivalry does resemble of heros...the fairy tails ones at the least," Kakucho said as he too now was interested.

"What will win? the boon of the so-called God or the boon of the Devil?" Arakan said as they all focused on the conversation between Hakkai and Takemichi.

"What are you doing here?"

"I have come to stop you"

"Takemichi, I didn't have the talk with you...because I wanted you to stop me"

"It was so I could strengthen my resolve!"

"If you get in my way I will kill you as well!"

"no, you won't"

"eh?!"

"When I share my worries with someone it's because I can't decide what to do"

"Hakkai, I know how you feel. You think that there is no other way to end Taiju's tyranny. No other way but to kill him"

"Is this..." Izana muttered as he heard Takemichi's words.

"Indeed! the legendary technique created and used by the seventh Hokage himself! Talk-no-Jutsu!" Arakan exclaimed as both Izana and Kakucho were shocked to their core.

"Don't you want to protect your sister Hakkai!!"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY SITUATION!!!"

"If the food goes bad he hits me, if I don't greet him properly he hits me. If I don't wake up earlier than him then he kicks me till is spit blood, if our eyes meet when he's in a bad mood he beats the sh*t out of me!"

"This is the situation of the Shiba household!!"

"Hakkai's situation does sound bad when out to words, but Taiju has been strict with everyone except Arakan," Kakucho said as Izana merely nodded his head.

"I wonder how Taiju's morning goes, Oh I am awake? time to see how my little brother is doing! wait he is still sleeping!? Pathetic!" Arakan said as he giggled along with Izana and Kakucho.

"YOU THINK THAT THIS WOULD MAKE YUZUHA HAPPY!!?!" Takemichi yelled as he stared into Hakkai's eyes. Hakkai lowered his gaze a little in shame.

"Our father who art in heaven, I pray in the holy name. Amen," Taiju said his little prayer as he continued to approach Hakkai and Takemichi.

"What about Kisaki and others?" Hanagaki asked in shock.

"What the hell are you bastards doing here!" Taiju asked with a pissed face as he glared towards the both of them.

"RAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Hakkai yelled as he chared at Taiju with a knife ready to stab him.

"HAKKAI STOP!!!" Hanagaki yelled in the last attempt as Hakkai charged towards his brother.

"Pathetic!" Taiju yelled as he grabbed Hakkai mid-sprint and held him in the air like a toddler.

"If you wanna strike to kill! Strike from the back!" Taiju yelled as he threw him away and punched Hanagaki in the face. Feeling the force of Taiju's punch Hanagaki flew and crashed into a couple of chairs.

"First time we met I only used about 30% of my strength! This time it was 50%! hurts doesn't it!!" Taiju yelled with a grin present on his face.

"If you wanna do something do it now! Don't you wanna save your fried?" Taiju asked as he grabbed Hanage by his collar and left him up.

"Hanagaki do you know why Hakkai wants to kill me so much?" Taiju asked.

"Because you have been abusing Yuzuha!" Hanagaki croaked out.

"HAAAHAHHAHAHHAH!!!" Taiju laughed madly as his laugh echoed in the empty church.

"How about I tell you his secret?" Taiju said as Yuzuha appeared behind him.

"STTTTTOOOOPPPPP!!!!" Hakkai yelled however it was already too late as Yuzuha stabbed Taiju's waist.

" Yuzuha you Bitch! You really fucked up this time!!" Taiju showed no mercy as he punched Yuzuha's face and sent her flying. He then removed his Teniju coat as he examined his injury a little.

"It was due to the kid yelling that I had a split second to move! So hate Hanagaki!" Taiju yelled as he looked at Hanagaki who seemed lost at the moment.

"How sad, Yuzuha, Hakkai you tried to kill your own blood-related brother. Who whittled his blood and flesh for your sake" Taiju said enraged.

"This is the angriest I have seen Taiju before, " Kakuzho said.

"That being said he is the one with the most responsibility in the gang after all without him Tenjiku wouldn't have an army in the first place" Arakan countered.

"Why must God make me do this?" Taiju said as tears flooded his eyes,

"why must I murder my sister?" Taiju said as he cried.

"Iza-chin, Kaku-chan, in case he goes to far I will stop him," Arakan said as he held both Izana and Kakucho from jumping down.

"Arakan! this is getting too far for just your testing! if he seriously kills his family he won't be able to recover!" Kakucho said for the first time rather pissed at Arakan.

"Fine! If he makes another move against her I will stop him" Arakan responded as he let out a sigh of disappointment.

"You need to understand Arakan, what to you might be something minor others might find painful, not everyone is a thrill-seeking mad man who would challenge God if he could," Izana said as he patted Arakan's head.

"You may not realize that but your actions will affect those around you while this gang stuff might be something for your entertainment you cannot ignore its impact on the non-supernatural." Izana continued as he removed his hand from Arakan's head.

"Yuzuha!!" Taiju yelled as he prepared to punch Yuzuha yet again as Hakkai and Takemichi were unable to move a muscle. Yuzuha stood there ready to accept her fate. Just as the punch was about to connect a hand stopped it.

"Captain!?"

'Tenjiku's leader!?'

"Arakan..."

"Taiju...this is going too far, let's call it a day here," Arakan said as he released Taiju's hand from his grip.

"Captain, she was attacking the Leader of the Strike Squad of Tenjiku along with the Toman fucker she has every right to die," Taiju responded coldly.

"Yuzuha has been one of the money collecting lackeys of Kokonoi, she is a part of Tenjiku for striking the Strike Squad Leader she has already been beaten up by you, but her life and death depends upon me" Arakan responded as he stood in front of Yuzuha.

"Arakan-san, thank you for the help," Takemichi said as he shakingly stood up.

"That being said, Hakkai you are no longer a part of Tenjiku!" Arakan declared.

"and Hanagaki you are still within Teniju property along with your friend outside," Arakan said as the doors of the church opened and Mitsuya entered.

"Taiju, Kokonoi, Inupi there are Toman shit's within the territory you know what to do" Arakan commanded as he took a seat while holding Yuzuha by her collar.

"You said it, boss!" Taiju yelled as he headed straight for Mitsuya and choke slammed him on the ground.

"Let me go!!" Yuzuha yelled as she struggled in Arakan's hold.

"Why would I do that? currently, Taiju is very pissed he would not stop he would have killed you and Hakkai as well. You should be thanking me for stopping him from killing the rest of you all" Arakan said not even budging a little.

"You bastard!! Why are you doing this! Tenjiku is filled with no one but murderers like you!" Yuzuha said while she still struggles in his grip.

"Murderers? is that how you address us? Interesting but tell me Yuzuha how is a Gang supposed to be without killing anyone? Even Toman has a special division filled with murderers." Arakan responded.

"Until something interferes with your life it is alright and when it starts disturbing you it becomes a crime? not a very fair statement right?" Arakan questioned as he released Yuzuha.

"You are letting me go?" Yuzuha asked surprised.

"I already held you off and warned you, if you wish to suicide and see your brothers fall in shambles feel free after all you are the one that holds the Shiba family together" Arakan responded as he looked at Taiju who was pummeling Hanagaki.

'He can still stand...and the white energy inside him is being transferred to his hand...this is going to be his last attempt' Arakan thought to himself as Takemichi charged towards Taiju and both of them exchanged a punch.

Takemichi immediately fell to the ground as Taiju was the one standing straight. However, Taiju suddenly got on his knees and Hanagaki slowly stood up.

'The power of the boon of God?' Arakan thought to himself as Taiju struggled to stand up.

"Taiju! are you done!?" Arakan yelled loudly.

"I have yet to die!" Taiju yelled as he stood up back again. However, the fight between them was interrupted as the gates of the church opened and Mikey entered.

'The darkness inside of him...there are many mysteries in this world' Arakan thought to himself with a grin.
