6 An attack

I burped into my hand after eating breakfast. I smiled. Oh that was the best breakfast that I've had in a long time. Previous and recent life included. Now that I've accumulated the fuel I wonder if my requests to Reo have been completed.

"Onee-San! Onee-San!"

I turned to see Reo run towards me. I chuckled. He was quite the nice individual. How did someone like him end up with the Yakuza? I sighed. It's never good to meddle in people's business.

"Hey Reo, what do you have for me?"

Reo breathed in and out quickly as he calmed down from his run. After a couple of minutes he said.

"I have the oil which you had requested as well as news that tomorrow a team will come here to meet you."

I pumped my fist in the air as happiness filled me. After all if I can succeed I wouldn't need to marry Haruto. He isn't bad as a person but I would like to spend this life as I want. My previous life was not the best as I lived in poverty all through my childhood as well as an abusive father. I will have fun in this lifetime.

Or so I thought.

A second later I was thrown on the ground by an explosion of some sorts. Reo ran forward and picked me up. Something warm leaked down my forehead as my head started to ache. I opened my eyes to see the world around me a blur. Just how fast was Reo running?

A second later I heard gunshots before the house quieted. Reo then knocked on an unfamiliar door before it was slid open. Haruto's father was siting in the middle of the room with his henchmen as they held down a man dressed in a fedora with a white suit. I looked at him and widened my eyes. He has a large similarity to my parents of this life. He must be my brother.

"Tell us young man why we shouldn't kill you right here right now?"

My brother looked over at me and cried out.

"Astrid! You idiot I came here to take you away from these bitches but you got caught in my explosion!"

This stupid son of a bitch! I motioned for Reo to set me down. I rocked back and forth slightly before Reo took my hand and steadied me. I then plopped on the tatami mat in front of my brother. I slapped him across the face. My brother spit out blood before looking at me in shock.

"Astrid?"

"Don't Astrid me you stupid fuck. The explosion you made was done in an area that was concentrated with too much oxygen. That allowed for the fire to spread more and cause a larger explosion than you had expected. If you wanted to make a small explosion use a firecracker or a small amount of sulfur."

My brother stared at me with furrowed eyebrows and confusion.

"What are you talking about sis? I made this explosion with some powder that my friend gave me at the saloon."

I whacked the top of his head as he whimpered.

"Idiot! You used too much of the powder! A dumbass like you must have used a whole palm full when it's supposed to be half of a pinch!"

My brother's name suddenly appeared in my head. He was two years older than me and his name was Charlie. He was a total dumbass.

Charlie pouted before nodding. I sighed.

"Charlie apologize to the Yamaguchi's for the mess you made."

Charlie shook his head.

"CHARLIE YOU FUCKING PRICK KNEEL AND APOLOGIZE OR I SWEAR TO GOD THAT IM GOING TO FUCKING CUT YOUR TONGUE OFF."

Charlie trembled before he nodded and bowed his head. I followed suit as we both said.

"I apologize."

The old man burst into laughter and started slapping his knee. I cleared my throat and said.

"I apologize Mr. Yamaguchi for the damages. My family will take care of the repairs-"

"No we won't-"

"Shut up you stupid prick! Don't open your mouth unless I tell you to!"

Charlie pouted as Yamaguchi's men released him. The door slid open as Haruto came in with his sword unsheathed. He took off his shades and leaned in. His thumb grazed the scratch on my forehead as a thunderous expression filled his face. He quickly pointed the sword at my brother.

"Hey you fucker! Were you the one who hurt my fiancé this way?"

My brother shook as the sword touched his neck. Crimson leaked down my brother's throat.

"Haruto that is my brother. Put down your sword and let us discuss this."

Haruto looked at me with a pleading expression.

"Can I kill him?"

"No you may not! Just sit the fuck down!"

Haruto pouted as he plopped on the ground next to Charlie. Yamaguchi laughed as he looked at me.

"My daughter in law is perfectly adjusted to the life of a Yakuza bride. Astrid dear why don't you just marry my son already?"

I chuckled nervously as I felt Haruto's gaze.

"I'm sorry Mr. Yamaguchi but I'm a woman who is driven by her career. Our engagement is already a hindrance but because of my respect to you I have accepted it."

Yamaguchi sighed sadly before turning to look at Charlie.

"Do you understand that if it weren't for your sister you would already be saying hello to Yama?"

Charlie nodded. I chuckled. Due to my anime craze I understand that Yama is the God of the Underworld in Japanese folklore. Yamaguchi sighed before looking at Haruto and I.

"Haruto why don't you accompany Astrid to the garden as I have a little talk with her brother."

Haruto nodded as I stood up.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, I will leave this room only if I get a promise from you that my brother will not have any harm come to him."

Yamaguchi looked at my strong expression before he waved his hand dismissively.

"I promise Astrid on my dear wife's head. Does that convince you?"

I nodded and headed out the door with Haruto behind me. I looked to see my brother look at me with a teary expression. I smirked and flipped my middle finger at him before the door closed.

He deserved it. The stupid fuck.
