Chapter 21: Anagi

"Beat his ass Koda?" Ryuuga yelled loudly as Koda rolled his eyes, staring down the boy in front of him.

It was one of his customers, the one who had offered his sister in return for discounts on Hana.

Outside of the school the prostitution gig was growing pretty big, drugs were less of his thing and illegal firearms were being snuck into Japan's borders.

Besides that however, business in school was lacking. He didn't have any other girls besides Hana, so he had come for his promised worker.

"As if I'd let you make my sister a whore like that bitch," The boy spat, bleeding from his mouth and nose as he glared past Koda at Hana.

"A deals a deal weirdo, just take me to your sister, I'm sure a lot of guys want a shot at her," Koda said, smiling a bit, but his heart wasn't in it.

Koda's words hung in the air for a moment, the tension palpable. The boy's face twisted in rage, his eyes wild and desperate.

"You... you think you can just treat my sister like that?" he stammered, clutching a box cutter tightly in his hand.

Koda raised his hands in a placating manner, trying to reason with the boy. "Look, I don't want any trouble. I just need to talk to her. We can work something out, okay? Nobody has to get hurt."

But the boy was beyond reasoning, his anger consuming him. He lunged at Koda, wielding the box cutter with a trembling hand. Koda's instincts kicked in, and he dodged the attack just in time. The blade grazed his arm, leaving a shallow, stinging cut.

Koda grunted in pain but managed to disarm the boy, pinning him to the ground, but he didn't strike back. Instead, he held the boy down and looked into his eyes.

"Hey," Koda said, smiling softly and gently, an expression that just didn't fit the cruel boy he had become. "You... Are absolutely fucking useless."

The boy widened his eyes, feeling a sting in his side. 

"Don't worry, I missed your vitals... But, you'll die unless you call your sister right now, I'm sick of this shit." Koda said calmly, no emotion in his eyes as he felt the warm blood flow down the box cutters handle and onto his hand.

'I could just kill him...'

The boy's eyes were wide with fear as he felt the sharp blade against his skin and saw the blood dripping from the box cutter. Koda's words struck him like a sledgehammer, cutting through his anger and confusion.

"I'll call her... I'll call her right now," the boy stammered, his voice trembling. He reached for his phone and dialed his sister's number, his hands shaking uncontrollably. Koda watched intently, the blade still dangerously close, but he made no further threats.

The boy held the phone to his ear, and moments later, he was speaking to his sister, his voice quivering. "Sis, you need to come here... Please, just come."

Koda's grip on the box cutter loosened, and he smiled as he stood up. 

Koda pulled out his phone, pressing on a contact and holding the phone up to his ear. "Yo, I need a quick favor... Got anyone who can keep someone from dying until I make a deal?"

Within a half hour the boy was stable, his wound dressed and his body leaned up against a tree as he slept, breathing slowly.

"What the hell, Noru!" A girl screamed, running toward the tree past Koda.

He quickly grabbed her by the wrist, his eyes cold as he stared down at her. 

"Don't resist, if you don't want your brother to die then come with me so we can talk... Business."

The girl's face contorted with fear and anger, but the mention of her brother's life hung heavy in the air. "W-What did you do to him you thug!" She screamed, trying to snatch her wrist back, but Koda was too strong for her.

"My god... Shut the fuck up bitch," Koda said coldly, his grip tightening before the girl yelped, tears in her eyes as she continued to struggle.

Seeing she wasn't going to get away she gulped and nodded.

Koda released her wrist, and she followed him, casting worried glances back at her injured brother. The two walked away from the scene, leaving the injured boy with Ryuuga and Akira.

"Why did you hurt my brother," The girl asked as they left the scene, stepping out onto the sidewalk and walking.

"I didn't want too, he lunged at me with a box cutter I just defended myself," Koda said simply, feeling slightly sick to his stomach as he looked at the blood still in his hand.

"Hah, yeah right. You think I don't know you? The entire school knows about The Bastard Ihono," She spat, looking to insult him, but he shrugged it off.

"The Bastard? There's so many better names… Well anyway, if you know me I assume you know what I do?" Koda asked, yawning and putting his hands behind his head.

"You mean selling that little hoe Hana? Yeah everyone knows, your lucky no one's told a teacher since-"

"Hahahaha," Koda laughed, cutting the girl off and looking right at her.

"Doubt the teachers can do shit, since my benefactor has been paying them off, even the principal worships me like a god, I'm untouchable at school, hell the teachers have fun with Hana too," Koda said, smiling slyly.

The girl looked disgusted.

"What the fuck do you even want, I'm starting to get pissed."

Koda stopped in his tracks, his smile dropping and looking at the girl.

"Your brother sold you off Anagi, because he wanted a discount with Hana, so what Hana does? That's what you'll do as well," He said, finally revealing what she was so curious about.

The girl widened her eyes, her face turning blood red.

Smack!

Koda didn't bother dodging the slap, he just rolled his eyes and slapped the girl harder than she slapped him, sending her to the ground as he rubbed his cheek.

"Like I'll become a prostitute, I'd rather die," She said, tears in her eyes as she felt the sting on her cheek.

"Ah… Anagi, to be honest the whole prostitute thing is getting annoying, it seems I've developed a conscience…" Koda said suddenly, looking up at the sky.

"I want you to manage the prostitute for me, you won't be a prostitute, not for any of these little customers…" Koda said, smiling as he reached his destination.

"The Hotel D'ambrosio? Why the hell are we here you-"

"I truly hope you aren't about to call one of my friends any harsh names, I protect my friends and families honor, by any means I please…" A silky voice interrupted, and Takamura stepped out of the hotel, his large form covered in an expensive suit as he looked at Anagi.

"Mr. Ihono says you are premium goods, so he's vouched you takeover management of the girls at this hotel, the only ones who get to touch you are foreigners with lots of money to waste…"

Koda turned away from the hotel, yawning as two guys grabbed Anagi, dragging her into the hotel as Koda went on his phone, snapping a selfie with her being dragged in the background.

"Pretty soon I'll own the school Takamura, and there's plenty to earn using those losers, don't let anyone touch her yet, not even the vip customers, I need to use her as bait for this last obstacle…" Koda said as he sent the picture to someone, a sinister smile on his face.

'Yep, I am evil.'

Meanwhile, at the gym, a large boy was bench pressing. Hitting a new Pr of 226 kilograms.

Ba Beep

Daichi squinted his eyebrows, he didn't usually get texts at the gym.

'Must be Anagi,' He thought, a soft smile coming onto his face as he reached for his phone, but what he saw made his blood run cold.

The new up and comer, Koda Ihono, who had taken down Takeshi and Ryuuga, had sent him a picture.

Koda had his tongue sticking out like a Facebook mom with the peace symbol, and in the back was the Hotel D'ambrosio, and being dragged up the steps with tears falling down his face was his girlfriend, Anagi Norigami.

The phone cracked before smashing to piece all together, and glass seeped into his skin, but he ignored it.

"Ihono… You've fucked up."
