Chapter 1
Near the border of Kyoto and nearly entering Osaka, the most degraded property of that particular area was towered by a solid ebony structure that looked incredibly out of place in such an environment, nearly everything else in that particular neighborhood was broken down slums that had slight trace of it's past life a more peaceful time maybe. This black tower though, was the only thing left standing without such damage or vandalism. Though not skyscraper height it was indeed a symbol of power in that area. That was for good reason as well.
" I don't know, I assure you the deal is a solid thing." The gray haired thick bodied Japanese male well dressed crossed his legs as he seemed to relax into the recliner as he spoke to the other associates in the room. The slicked black haired other man whom was also well dressed walked up to the desk which sat of course near the windowed view of the city from above and addressed the man whom was looking out the window. The slightly gray haired old yet still very large male turned around after the slick black haired man addressed him in private through a hushed ear whisper.
"Kotonogi, I don't doubt you for a moment about the deal. These contacts you say you can trust can deliver the arsenal and goods within days and can do it for weeks to come, it all sounds fine." The slightly gray haired man sat down in his executive styled crimson blood colored chair as he relaxed himself looking at the thick bodied man known as Kotonogi. "I know you will have no kinds of problems with these transactions, you don't look like a man who would screw up such a deal and disgrace me and my organization." The slightly gray haired large man reclined his executive chair slightly, his name was Kyo Motoko, and he ran Kyoto as far as everyone on the streets and within crime syndicates knew.
"Absolutely not Mr. Motoko-san , such wreckless business belongs to the small time fools and weak pathetic drug lords who don't make any difference at all, but your way of thinking is something I've always approved highly of Mr. Mokoto." He spoke sternly not at all taking his eyes off of the man in front of him, Mokoto's, he couldn't show any fear or doubt that may have lingered in his mind. He had to look as serious as the situation called for.
"Very well, Mishima because I have no time nor patience for people who think that it's fine to show such disrespect to me, as this man did." Mokoto motioned to one of his men whom had the slicked back black hair and whom did motion to two more black suited men by the door to Mokoto's office who then both went out then returned a moment later with a large stretcher covered by a slightly blood stained cloth more along one end of the stretcher. The two suits then uncovered the top half of the stretcher and the Mishima man's eyes widened and let out one audible gasp as he saw the blood stained half of a man who wore glasses, of course most of his face was too seemingly cut open with blood stains covering all of his face, his mouth and eyes still open as he seemed to have witnessed his own death.
Mishima still sat there stunned for a moment before stumbling to get up from his seat. "Ah, well I think we've made a excellent arrangement Mishima, I'll expect a call from you when things are said and done with your contacts" Mokoto smirked a bit to Mishima's reaction to his harsh "example". Mishima speechless for a moment regained his composure "Hai, Mokoto-san, definitely, thank you for meeting me." Quickly moving to shake his hand he then straightened out his tie and walked out of the office promptly.
Down below the sewer caps that laid upon the streets of New York, a book cover slammed shut upon it's pages. "Done finally.." the green skinned warrior spoke as he slowly moved out of his chair and back onto his feet, after a few small stretches he let out a small yawn, holding the book in one hand he opened the door from his room and exited to the rest of the not so known turtle lair. Leonardo slowly scrolled through the small bookshelf and put the book back. "What's up bro?" Michaelangelo the younger brother stepped in just in time to spot his brother putting back the book. "Just putting back The Da Vinci Code, Mikey." "Finished already?" a surprised Michaelangelo inquired.
"Yeah, really just one of those times I can say the movie was definitely better than the book." Leo smirked. "Whoa, well I guess this mean you're taking something else on your trip to read on the plane then eh Leo? Figured you would've loved anything related to your name." the younger brother. Leo raised an eye ridge. "What do I seem egotistical to you Mikey? No you're definitely mistaking me for Raph I think. Besides it has more to do with a lot more than Da Vinci himself." he finished. "Yeah yeah, I'm just joshing with ya bro, anyways what are you going to do?" Leo shook his head lightly " I think it's better to concentrate on making myself less noticable on that plane than worrying about passing time.
"Dude I really wish I could go, Japan has some awesome stuff New York obviously doesn't have, more major anime stores, toy stores, manga shops, maybe a little hentai here and there" Leo shook his head "Mikey no this isn't a tourist trip I'm taking this opportunity that thankfully April got for me and truly use it to strengthen my attributes and abilities in all my skills and .." "Yeah yeah" Mikey waved his hand "don't go all Splinter on me I'm just sayin', wish I could go to that's all." Leo nodded as he walked back to his room, Mikey stood by the doorway. "Man, I don't know what we're going to do without you.." Leo cut him off "Mikey I think you'll all be fine, I just need some time off, I mean things around here get loud enough as it is...I need to concentrate a little more on my exercises and perhaps a little relaxation, besides I paid a lot for this you know, saving up and all. I think you're just saying you'll miss me right." Mikey sighed. "Yes you're right per usual" Leo let out a small smile.
His suitcase snapped shut as he then walked over and gave his younger brother a light hug. "Calm down I don't leave till tommorow, Raph and Don still over at the farmhouse with Casey and April?" He nodded "Yeah, they'll be back tommorow to say bye before you go off to the airport, weekends almost over you know" Leo nodded as he slightly hunched over and picked up his case. "Then I'm all set for Japan, Osaka here I come."
