Yakuza at the Beach!

For whatever reason, Sakaki thought that taking his minions to the beach for a break was a good idea. Maybe the ever present thoughts of revenge had addled his brain, or his 500 and something year age mark was finally beginning to take its toll. Whatever the reason, he had ordered his cohorts and their wig-wearing boss down to the beach to relax and get away from the world at large. He soon discovered that Yakuza were not meant for the beach.

Watanabe had been reluctant at first, but was presently sitting; in black trousers and snake-skin jacket, on a camping chair, reading the business section of the Tokyo Times and smoking a Cuban cigar. Sakaki hadn't bothered to inform his compatriots of what proper beach attire was, but he had been certain they'd know what not to wear and leather jackets fell into that category. He was mistaken.

Minoru, for all his apparent stupidity, was decked out in black shorts and blue shirt, playing happily in the waves and generally having a good time, as one was want to do at the beach. This only strengthened Sakaki's belief that Minoru was defiantly not cut out for the Yakuza business.

What Sakaki had expected from the opposing forces of Kenji and Arai, and what he got; were far flung from one and other. Had he expected that, in a rare show of humanity, Kazuhito and Kenji would wear board-shorts and actually smile like normal people as they cascaded down the dunes on a toboggan; obviously Kenji's idea? The fact that the normally sane Kazuhito was acting like his hyperactive lover was enough to make Sakaki's head spin, but, after a short and violent stand-off between Kenji and Arai involving jellyfish, Sakaki was astounded to find that Arai was fool enough to fall asleep on the sand. Kenji and Kazuhito had buried him up to his shoulders and placed a plastic yellow bucket on his head, adorning the bucket with a sea-weed wig and drawn on a smile with lipstick. Where they had gotten the lipstick, Sakaki wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know, but he resolved to never take his men to the beach ever again.
