Chapter two

The woman kissed the man's cheek as they are now lying beside one another naked after their bodies shared heated passion on one another.

"You look so stress babe." The woman stated.

Itsuki sighs. "I am but good thing I met you." He smirks his eyes now focused back again on the woman he just met last week on a club last week.

Ichiro Denki a 24 years old senior biology student at Draycan International University. A college student who Itsuki now had shared a passionate night twice tonight. After sharing the first night together Itsuki found himself drawn to such woman and so they started dating with some benefits such as doing these intimate things. Ichiro is an only child by her single mother who died after giving birth to her which her grandparents took over the responsibilities of taking care of her as her mother was also an only child. She was named Ichiro which means a son and yet she's a woman her late mother told her grandfather to name her that whatever the child's gender might be, her mother give birth to her knowing of those complications and consequences of her losing her life as her grandfather tells her,her mother cherished her the most in this world.

Itsuki fall harder for this woman every moment they meet and now he couldn't imagine a life without her but then his foolishness of wanting to join his friend's organization is on the way. He just can't take back those words he just have said and so he goes on and comply.

Ichiro rolls her eyes at him. "Don't lie to me Itsuki."

Itsuki then pouts. "Ichi please don't be mad."

Ichiro shakes her head and sighs. "No promises, but you got to tell me what is it though because you've been acting so distant this week."

Itsuki grab both of her hands and held it tighter. "Baby I joined an underground organization-"

"Enough." She cuts him off.

Itsuki raised a brow.

The brown eyed woman's face turns stoic as she purse her lips. "Do you want to leave?"

Itsuki shakes his head. "No but-"

Ichiro cuts him off this time by a short peck on his lips. "It's all right, I don't care whatever shit you join in, as long as you stay with me."

Itsuki was surprised by this reaction because usually in movies or even a rational woman would never react this accepting of knowing his potential boyfriend who she is currently exclusively dating is involved in a messy world, right?

"Is elder brother inside?" Hideyoshi asks as he stands outside his elder brother's office.

His company secretary answered. "Yes sir but he has a guest with him-"

"Watoshi thanks." He replies not further listening to the secretary and makes his way inside the office, doors opened. He stands to see his elder brother standing face to face to a woman who looks a bit younger than the both of them wearing casual clothes, they seem to be talking but they halted once he now stands there on the doorway.

Benjiro clears his throat. "Little brother?"

Hideyoshi chuckles. "Is she your girlfriend?"

The woman scoffs. "Disgusting."

Benjiro sighs. "Forgive my little brother."

The woman squinted her eyes at Hideyoshi. "That's your brother?"

Benjiro nods.

The woman shifted her eyes back at Benjiro. "Keep your promise Jiro kun and so will I."

Benjiro smiled.

The young woman chuckles before turning her back at Benjiro not even giving him a bow even to Hideyoshi. She walks out as if she owns the place and left with her head held high.

Hideyoshi furrowed his brows. "Who was that?" He asked his elder brother in wonder, intrigued for how such disrespectful woman can freely talk to his elder brother.

Benjiro has still a smile on his face. "Ichiro Denki, a good friend. I know you'll probably sent someone to do a background check on her like what you did with (older sister in Japanese) Onē-san Nancy but I advised you don't."

Hideyoshi crossed his arms. "Why?"

"Ichiro's the only living relative of the old man Denki, didn't you forget the old man who even father respected?" Benjiro asked back.

Hideyoshi widen his eyes now realizing the young woman earlier is actually related to one of the Denki clan who was a very close friend of their grandfather. The dangerous silent family kept themselves in the shadows though they we're truly dangerous once they show their fangs. Their father even feared the now old man Ryu Denki.

This peaked Hideyoshi's interest. "Why is she here then?"

Benjiro chuckles. "Little brother you'll know soon."

"Itsuki, boss Okemia said will be joining the first ground anyway this is important dude since this will be your first mission." Hanzu tells him, one of the low ranking henchmen in the group who became friends with Itsuki since Hanzu is also a bit new in the business for entering this mob life five months before Itsuki did.

Itsuki sighs. "I don't know man, I'm a bit nervous though." He tells Hanzu.

"That's pretty much normal, I was nervous wreck too back then." Hanzu countered.

Okemia walks in the room as everyone then properly stands up. "The tiger wants our boss assistance, the party on their place tonight is going to get bloody." He paused staring at Itsuki. "I'm placing Itsuki in charged for this event, you know how it is, help him out as he'll be part of us soon." Okemia turns to Hanzu. "Hanzu help him out if things get out of hand." With that Okemia left the room.

Itsuki looks at everyone and then to Josh in wonder.

Josh smirks. "The captain's are not accountable if the mission goes to shit whenever there's a task for newbies like you." Josh patted Itsuki's shoulder. "Your not alone the first ground division has a new champ too, basically you will all help each other to wing this." He looks at the group. "Let's not let Itsuki step on his own shit, people!"

The group cheers in return.

Itsuki smile but it didn't last long.

Hanzu shakes his head. "Captains are not accountable but if it all goes wrong the next one in charged well technically Josh the vice captain will get the punishment if you messed up."

The mansion is filled with important guest. Wine, champagne and many more types of alcohol we're available. Food is prepared by famous chef's but at the gardens lies a deadly fight between real life people who fights until they we're about to die. Gambles for the fight had increased to a hundred million. Everything was going all too well but at the VIP section Itsuki decided to go up there just to check if his friend Benjiro was there and say hi to him.

Itsuki walks upstairs with Hanzu behind him. But he never expected to see Ichiro wearing a expensive dress beside Benjiro talking casually.

Itsuki doesn't understand what he felt seeing that and so he turns to walk out but he bumps into a waiter holding glasses of champagne. The waiter fell on the floor. Itsuki help the poor guy who was soaked into alcohol and says his sorry but Ichiro's voice halted him.

"Babe?" She asks.

Itsuki turns to find her looking like a goddess as Benjiro stands behind her with a smile on his face.

"Itsuki meet Denki, Ichiro from Denki clan whom my family had been friends for generations." Benjiro stated.

Itsuki was too stunned to speak and so he decided to stand up and act as if he doesn't know the woman in front of him. He bows his head in ninety degrees before standing back up saying. "Delighted to meet your friend boss." He paused. "I got to check around still, excuse me and Hanzu."

Benjiro smirks nodding his head. "Do your best then."

Itsuki bows again as Hanzu followed before they left immediately.

Ichiro's hand curls into a fist. "You said-"

Benjiro cuts her off. "I promised not to tell him your identity but his under Okemia's care at the moment."

"You can't control your own people." She hissed.

Benjiro chuckles darkly. "Now, now, watch your words little Denki. My father might be scared of your old man but I'm not."

She narrowed her eyes at him. "I know that's why the old man favors you."

Benjiro beams a smile. "I always honor my promises but out of all the captains in my organization the fifth ground division captain can have so much freedom and you and I know why."

She crossed her arms. "Okemia the famous little devil." She scoffs. "Since we're friends, call him up here."

Benjiro chuckles. "Friends we are but I'm not your secretary."

She shakes her head and sighs. "Forgive me, Jiro." She paused. "Itsuki means a lot to me." Her eyes moistened, tears threatening to fall.

Benjiro scoffs. "Tears don't persuade me, little Denki." He paused. "Itsuki treasures honesty, we've been friends since my college years." Benjiro tells her before walking out of the VIP section.

Benjiro fishes his phone and called Itsuki's phone after a few rings Itsuki picks it up.

"Man you all right?" Benjiro asks his friend.

"I'm fine Ben, erm... um..., do you know... her... I mean... she and I?"

"Yes, I was informed just this morning about your relationship about her." Benjiro honestly answered him.

"Oh... okay bro, it's cool. I'll talk to you later. I'm still technically at work so I got to show my captain I'm reliable and shit." Itsuki lightly laughs it off through the call.

"Sure, you can do it man." Benjiro cheers up his friend after that the line was cut off.

Hideyoshi stands beside Okemia who was sipping his own glass of champagne calmly throughout the night.

Hideyoshi smirks. "You seem too calm tonight, you believe this event goes without hitch?"

Okemia shakes his head. "No but I hope not, Itsuki's in charged tonight. This is his first big task just so you know, boss."

Hideyoshi rolls his eyes. "You speak casually to me, Itsuki's character is rubbing off you."

Okemia chuckles. "Perhaps but I find it amusing last Sunday, how his elder sister got her hand still intact on her body after slapping you boss."

Hideyoshi scoffs. "She's lucky, elder brother considered her close in his important circle."

Okemia nods. "Anyways Sir Benjiro really likes Itsuki's family though when we visited, I can't help but see how he acted so freely back there."

"I guess (Older brother in Japanese) Onii-san found a family in them." Hideyoshi sighs. "Our house isn't that warm like Itsuki has."

Hideyoshi turns to look at Okemia since the later wasn't commenting about the matter. Okemia turns pale as if seeing a ghost. Hideyoshi brows furrowed. "What's wrong Okemia?"

Okemia meet his gaze worriedly. "You asked me back then what sir Benjiro was disappointed at me for?"

Hideyoshi nods his head slowly. "Yes, what of it?"

Okemia gulps as he looked across the room. Hideyoshi followed his gaze landing it on the woman wearing a white elegant dress, black silky straight hair reaching her shoulders, the familiar kind face of an angel you would mistaken her for the first time not knowing she is a woman who had killed mercilessly her enemies. The third child and only daughter of Daichi clan a part of the 13 families famous in the underground world.

"She, Akira Daichi is the reason." Okemia answered.

Hideyoshi grew confused.

Okemia continued. "I gave her my gun, we we're in a tight situation. Long story short she save everyone's ass that day. Her hands caused blood to rain."

Hideyoshi chuckles. "Akira's not normal we all knew that since childhood."

Okemia shakes his head. "You don't understand, she's insane."

The woman makes her way towards them as her eyes shines bright, recognizing Hideyoshi and Okemia. She smiled and greets them with a 45 degree bow as they bows back in return. "Lovely evening boys."

Hideyoshi smirks. "It is Akira-chan."

She chuckles. "Where's your Benjiro, Hideyoshi- kun?"

Hideyoshi shakes his head. "Your the same as always Akira-chan, always chasing Onii-san."

She laughs. "Of course your elder brother is a fine man, I believe he and I belong together."

Hideyoshi chuckles. "That's the spirit!"

She nods her head as a smile plastered on her face.

A familiar figure approaches them, not minding Hideyoshi and her presence. Focused only at Okemia. "Kid, call Itsuki."

Her gaze shifted to meet his, the man she ever so desired. "Anata." Japanese word (Old fashioned.) used by women to address their husbands-often translated as "Dear" or "Darling".

"Akira." Benjiro gave a single nod at her as he focused his attention back to Okemia who immediately does what he was asked to do, pressing his phone to call Itsuki.

Hideyoshi shakes his head and chuckles. Akira has never changed. Her infatuation towards his elder brother never ceased ever since the first time they all met back then when they we're all just children.
