The Playful Eagle 7: I am… Part 3

6 Years later (2 years ago from present time)

I'm calm, I'm calm with the decision I was forced in. 6 years ago I cried to seeing a gun, sobbing harder for having to hold one, however I have since then changed.

I am 15 years old, my name is Tengan, for 6 years I have worked with one of Japan's biggest gangs, spread around all of japan.

"Tengan, catch the drink!" Kento shouted, he threw a cola from the fridge at me.

I caught it and threw it right back at him.

"I don't need your drinks" I replied.

"Typical Tengan, what do you say about a gun right up your ass!" he replied.

"Boys! Shut up! I have a new mission for you!" one of the members said.

It's just like a typical day, I wait until I have a task to do, either alone or with someone else. Usually I work with Kento, since he's the same age as me, but I really hate that piece of shit.

The day went by quickly, we did what we were supposed to, we went back to the apartment and stayed there. Today marks the gangs 11th year anniversary, so everyone is celebrating, shooting, drinking, punching and what not.

"You're Tengan, the furious.. right?" someone asked.

I lifted my view up, it's one of the more respected older members.

"Yes?" I replied.

He chuckled a little and sat next to me on the couch.

"You know.. I was there when everything happened" he said.

I was confused, what did the dumbass want?

"The day Kento brought you in" he said.

He.. He was there?

"And? Is there something special you want to talk to me about?" I asked with an ugly voice.

"What is your goal, Tengan? You're strong, one of the best we have" he began.

He looked at me and laid down his can of booze. The music slowly faded, only for me, I could only hear his voice.

"You don't want this life, everyone doesn't see that but me, tell me what you want" he asked.

I looked down again, I felt as if I was depressed. The life that I want?

"I mean.. Did I even have a life to begin with.." I said with a sad face.

He kept looking at me.

"I.. I want to" I said and kept thinking.

"It's okay if you don't know what you wan-" he said before I cut him off.

"I want to build an orphanage, to help kids not have the same life as I have!" I said and looked at him.

His face changed, it slowly changed into a wholesome smile, a smile that made me happy. His eyes almost closed because of his smile, it reminded me of the dog that tried to save me.

It reminded me of Koji..

"Tengan, I want to help you escape this" he said with the same smile on his face.

I was confused by what he said.

"You want a better life? I want to help you, get into a better country, to get a better life!" he said.

I huffed at him.

"Help me? Everyone calls me crazy because I have been seeing ghosts for as long as they've known me, and you want to help me?" I said and laughed a little.

"Tengan, work with me, and I'll get you out, I want you to trust me!" he said.

My ears still couldn't believe it, how will he help me escape? But I still want to get away from here.

The time period while working with Kuriosaki was different. It took time, it took a lot of time.

During the same time period, I slowly became like a monster. I wasn't like everyone else, the ghosts I kept seeing, the sudden rages I got, it was unexplainable.

2 years later (Couple of days before present time)

I was called into Kuriosaki's own little room.

"What did you want to show me? They might suspec-" I tried to say before I got cut off.

He laid a lot of yen on the table in the middle of the room, along with a ticket.

"I got you a flight, a flight to Seoul, korea!" he said with a happy tone.

"I-I but.. I-… I" I said.

"Don't say anything Tengan, this is what we worked hard for!" Kuriosaki said.

I kept looking with him, my jaw was beyond dropped, I could almost cry. I could feel a small tear.

"Your flight, it's in 2 days Tengan" he said.

I stood there, sobbing quietly.

"Hide the money, the ticket, any evidence, take your chance to go, live the best life you could have! Meet people that can take care of you, a better group than us! Make your goal come true!" he said with the same big smile he had 2 years ago.

I jumped over the table and hugged him as hard as I could. A couple of hours I made my way out and did my best to run all the way to Tokyo. I got help from a lot of people, nice people to where it was and made my way to the airport.

I took no breaks, all that mattered is to make Kuriosaki's hard work worth it, and I ended up taking the plane all the way to Korea. The only thing I had in mind was Koji's sacrifice, and Kuriosaki's words.

Present time

"RAAAAGGHH" I screamed and rised up while punching away the fist.

"COME ON YOU BASTARDS!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Just as I said that Jiwoo was above me, kicked the biggest guy in the face.

"Tengan, you okay? Nyeh!" he said with a smile while looking under him.

"Keep fighting Jiwoo!" I said and looked at the dog.

My heart felt at ease because it was unharmed.

I looked back, everyone else ran away, there were only 2 guys left. One of them looked right from us, pointed and screamed, the other guy screamed something while running away.

"BLUE FLAME!!" he screamed with broken english.

Jiwoo, in front of me looked behind at me.

"Blue flame?" he said.

I shrugged back. Suddenly, we could hear laughing, screaming, and most noticeable of all running.

***

I walked slowly forward, I made sure Tengan was also safe.

"I'll check what it was they talked about!" I whispered.

I got to the 4 way space between the buildings where the 2 cowards were and looked right, in front of me was a black haired, glasses person with a parrot on his shoulder. Behind him was a whole army of different men.

"Jiwoo" the person with the parrot said.

I put my hands up and walked slowly back.

"Let me help you!" he said
