Warning: Might become explicit in the future. If it does, I'll give a clear warning at the beginning of the chapter and the story summary. Feel free to give me constructive criticism.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Kuroko no Basuke. I based Warpath's design on .Hack's The World.
Kise Ryouta looked to the vanilla colored folder on his wooden desk and slipped his left hand in between the slit, feeling for the documents within them. He pulled out white papers and gave them a once over. These papers were the key to winning the trial. The case was very high profile and the plaintif came to him one day saying how everyone else had turned him away, and he could see why. The accused was a high ranking Yakuza member who had killed off the victim's family. No lawyer in the city would touch this case because of the danger that came from involving themselves in Yakuza affairs. What's more, the plaintif didn't even have the money to pay him properly, but luckily for his client he wasn't in it for the money.
Looking towards the window, he thought about what he was going to say at tomorrow's court session. Blinds barred his view of the outside which only served to keep unwanted guests from finding him. He didn't know exactly which group would be shadowing him, but he had a good idea and if he could guess, it would be one of the most ruthless and prominent Yakuza groups in Yokohama. After all, that was where his defendant lived and worked.
There were two possibilities: Touoh and Seiren. It was most likely the former because although Seirin is as large an organization as Touoh. Seirin was one of the more honorable of Yakuza groups because they had strict rules in place should a member of their organization deviate from certain morals. Hell, he'd heard about how if you murdered an innocent person, you'd be on the Seirin group's hit-list regardless if you yourself were a member.
On the other hand, you had the the Touoh group. The Touoh group is known to have friends in very high places. They've also been rumoured to be involved in numerous illegal activities, which is why he took the liberty of procuring this building for himself while he worked on the case. He had to ask his college acquaintance from the Yamamoto Real Estate Firm to let him borrow it for a few days. If he wasn't this careful, then he'd be endangering everyone he knew because anyone with the right connections could find out where he lived. Honestly, he couldn't say he trusted the police to keep his friends and family safe either. There were just too many possibilities going against a group like Touoh. The corner of his mouth curved upwards at the thought that his friends and family would be safe.
