"If I had been open with you from the start… and looked you straight in the eyes and told you the truth, then I wouldn't have had to stand before you, from above, as a failure, telling you all of this. So this time, I want to impart this truth to you… You don't even have to forgive me. And no matter what you do from here on out, know this… I will love you always."

-Uchiha Itachi


51.

Life has a way of throwing one curveballs when they least expected it. For Yoshida Tetsu, his view on who his elder sister was, was literally thrown out of the window that very evening.

52.

"Tetsu-kun." The elder Yoshida sibling called out to her younger brother all of a sudden as they were eating dinner.

"Hm? What is it, nee-chan?" He asked in curiosity as he paused in his eating.

He watched as his onee-chan put a hand over her heart and looked at him a little blankly although the confusion being evident in her eyes. "I am confused." She said to him.

He tilted his head slightly to the side in confusion. "What do you mean? What are you confused about, onee-chan?"

She looked at him and took a deep breath before answering. "I have been having heart aches since the night of the ball. It confuses me as to why it has been happening this long. Might you have an idea why, otouto?"

His eyes brightened at her words. It was a bit amusing to see his older sister look so clueless towards her own feelings towards the one he considered as an older brother-figure. He wanted to wait for a bit before telling her so that she would be more sure of her feelings when the time came but seeing her face now...it made him feel bad of withholding such information from her.

"Onee - " He was suddenly cut off by the doorbell.

53.

Ding dong

It repeated, seemingly ominous.

His older sister immediately stood up and headed for the door.

She opened it slightly and blocked the sight of whoever was outside with her body. Her tone was cool and icy as she spoke.

"Why are you here?"

54.

"Please, aneki! We need your help!"

Koharu's icy onyx black eyes landed on the quivering bent form of a bald-headed man in a suit. He was in a deep bow in front of her and he would have continued, if not for her sudden actions. She grabbed him by his collar and proceeded to stare right into his very eyes. He shivered as he was held up to her face like he weighed nothing.

Her tone was cold and hard like ice when she whispered to him.

"We will speak of this outside."

And then she threw him out before closing the door.

55.

"Onee-chan?" The voice of her otouto brought her momentarily back to reality. He stood across her with a confused look on his face.

Her previously cold front melted in front of her younger brother. Her voice turned soft and gentle as she spoke. "Tetsu-kun, would it be alright if I stepped out for a moment? I have somewhere I need to go to and it will not take too long, but just in case, I want you to go and finish ahead of me, okay?"

"Uhh..un!" He replied, seemingly unsure but unable to voice out his thoughts.

She gently rubbed his head. "Good boy. I will be going now. Take care now and do not let anyone else in the house."

"Mmm...hai (yes), onee-chan!" He nodded enthusiastically.

She then left with a large black bag slung on her shoulder, together with the scary man who reminded Tetsu all too much of the yakuza men he often saw in TV.

His face suddenly lost the bright smile it had and morphed into a serious-looking one.

I'm sorry, onee-chan. He thought as he proceeded to get a thick sweater from his closet and change into it. He sat on the edge of the raised floor near the genkan and raised his leg to quickly change his footwear. Once he was finished, he stood up with his eyes burning determinedly. I'll have to disobey you today.

He locked the door on his way out as he rushed to chase after his elder sister.

56.

Koharu ended up dragging the man into a nearby park. She dropped him onto the ground before sitting on the wooden bench and crossing her arms together. A small sigh escaped her lips before she finally decided to let the man sit upright in seiza on the ground.

"Speak, Shinoda."

The man stammered.

"I said, speak, Shinoda." She repeated in a harsher tone.

Shinoda immediately lowered his head in front of her. "My apologies, aneki! I - no, we need your help! Oyabun is in danger!"

Koharu's eyes widened for a fraction before lowering down to further scrutinize the man in front of her. "Explain. Why is Tsukasa in danger?" She gripped onto her arm tightly as she looked away, trying to hide the worry in her eyes, and waited for him to continue speaking.

"Aneki, to tell you the truth, there was a gang war recently. We were dealing pretty well with it when those punks from Eien no Hi (Eternal Sun) managed to get a cheap shot in and the bullet managed to hit oyabun. He's not looking too well even when we tried to give him first-aid." Shinoda's arm started to shake as he spoke out his next words. "The bleeding ain't stopping and we don't know what to do."

This time, Koharu stood as she began to lose control. "What about Yamaguchi-sensei? The hospital? Or at least one of the underground doctors?!" She shouted. "You still have those options!"

"Sensei died protecting the boss after he just managed to give him first aid. The hospital and those underground doctors...we can't trust them. They might kill oyabun when we ain't looking." He answered.

"..."

"Please, aneki!" He pleaded.

57.

Shinoda could feel his muscles tightening, his heart beating faster, and his sweat soaking through his clothes. The terrifying aura that was emanating from the infamous Big Sister of the group was nearly driving him nuts. The silence was deafening as he awaited her reply.

Did she know?

.

.

.

"Where is he then?" The terrifying aura suddenly disappeared.

"Eh?" His eyes blinked rapidly in surprise as he looked up at her.

Well? Aneki's eyes seemed to convey.

"A-Ah!" He spluttered out as he got on his feet. "I-I left him in the car I used to make our getaway nearby. It's just around the corner!"

He stared at her tentatively as she seemed to take a brief glance behind her before looking at him in return.

"W-What is it?"

"It's nothing. Just take me there. Quickly." She answered - no, commanded.

58.

It did not take long before they finally came across a black nondescript car. Koharu let Shinoda unlock it with his car key before pulling open the door where she happened to vaguely sense the presence of Tsukasa.

And there he was, seated on the chair, breathing heavily while holding tightly onto his bleeding wound. His usual short shaggy snow white hair was in a mess and stuck tightly on his sweat-soaked face. His eyes were closed but she knew he was still conscious. She could see the gauze so it meant that he really did get some first aid from Yamaguchi-sensei before they escaped, however, it must have been a deep wound for the blood to still seep through the gauze.

She took a deep breath before calling out to the young oyabun.

"Tsukasa?"

59.

Looking at him so closely, Koharu could see how long his eyelashes were.

He really is very beautiful for a man.

But that thought was quickly discarded from her mind once his eyes fluttered open.

60.

"Koharu?"

She let out a small sigh of relief.

"Good," she murmured, "you're awake." Her hand reached out to softly caress his cheek before pulling it back in order to get her bag.

Click

She didn't bother pausing with what she was doing and remained calm.

"Tell me, Shinoda, was it the Eien no Hi who put you up to this?" She asked while slowly bringing out a clean white sheet from her bag.

61.

"What do you think?" He asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Their boss said he'll pay me rather handsomely to get this job done. As long as I kill both you and the oyabun, I'll get my revenge and afterwards, a large amount of money that will set me for life."

"Typical," she muttered and let out a huff in annoyance.

In the blink of an eye, she reacted. She dropped the white sheet in her hand and did a low sweep to knock the traitor off his feet. There was a loud bang in the air but she remained unaffected by it. Seeing him land on his behind, she quickly kicked the gun away from his hands while he was disoriented before grabbing his head with both hands and then mercilessly kneeing him on the face.

He was knocked out after that.

62.

Tetsu watched the scene unfold in bated breath. That was too shocking. Onee-san is really badass!

"Tetsu," he heard his name being called out and was surprised to find himself face to face with his sister's chest. He turned red at their close proximity with each other before promptly realizing that his sister had known that he was there the whole time.

He paled rather quickly.

"Come and help me get that man on a flat surface." He heard her say afterwards.

"H-Hai onee-san!" He stuttered.

63.

Himura Tsukasa woke up to a pair of curious looking eyes staring at him unabashedly.

He simply smiled.

"You must be Koharu's younger brother, Tetsu." He said. "Would you please call her here for me?"

The young boy blushed for a moment for being caught staring at him before he nodded in response and then left to get his older sister.

64.

As soon as Koharu arrived, she promptly placed a small pile of files on Tsukasa's lap and reported what had happened while he was unconscious. She stood straight like a rod, her arms rigidly on her sides. Tsukasa thought that she seemed to resemble those ex-military men who had joined his gang. Fortunately, when she spoke up, she reported her findings normally rather than formally like how a soldier would do so when reporting to their military officer.

"Last night at 9 o'clock PM, Kobayashi Shinoda visited my home and requested for my medical help in order to save your life. Naturally, I went and followed him. He led me to a nondescript black car where you were found heavily bleeding but still conscious. Shinoda took out a gun from behind and threatened to shoot the both of us but i proceeded to disable him and knock him unconscious. He is currently being held inside the guest room inside my house."

Tsukasa raised an eyebrow at her last sentence. "How comfy." He commented.

Koharu blinked a couple of times at his words. "He is currently unconscious, gagged and bound to the wall, Tsukasa. He won't be escaping anywhere anytime soon." She explained.

"Alright." He nodded to acknowledge her words. "Continue."

65.

"The Eien no Hi gang was behind the assault to your base last night. Aside from Shinoda's words last night which confirmed my thoughts on who was behind it, I had set out to further investigate what else had happened while you escaped and were unconscious." Koharu continued.

"Sixty of your underlings were found dead from the assault including your resident doctor Yamaguchi-sensei, ten were found missing whom I suspect were either those who had abandoned and fled the gang in fear or were spies from another gang, the rest were injured and went into hiding for the meantime. Meanwhile, I have found news that your grandfather and mother are currently lying low somewhere in Osaka with a number of their personal men and women."

Tsukasa remained silent for a few minutes before asking if there was anything else.

"Ah, yes. When I had contacted your grandfather, he told me that you should go into hiding for a while. He suggested that you stay with me and enroll in the same school as I go to for the meantime. He also said that he would contact you when it was time to regroup and attack in retaliation against the Eien no hi gang." She answered after thinking about it.

His only response was a long dumbfounded 'haa?' which seemed to break his cool older brother character.

66.

Tsukasa could only agree in the end.

While he was indeed the current boss in the gang, his grandfather still held a high position and most still deferred to him. It was a frustrating fact so he could only follow his grandfather's "suggestion" for now.

Tch. He couldn't help but curse the old man.

67.

Himura Tsukasa's admission to Miyabigaoka High went off silently.

(But it had been quite noticeable when the transfer student was often seen hanging out with the Vice President of the Miyabigaoka High Student Council by a lot of students - most especially a certain blond haired president.)

68.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long enough.

69.

Igarashi Tora was having another late afternoon of stalk - um, observing Yoshida Koharu and the new transfer student named Himura Tsukasa walking home together.

(No, he was definitely not feeling jealous by how close they looked.)

70.

It happened all too fast.

One moment, it was normal and then the next, it was just utter chaos.

Mass hysteria entered the streets as soon as the guns were set off. People ran for cover and shelter in nearby buildings from the sudden threat.

(All of these happened right in front of Tora who was currently being protected by the men his parents had hired to protect him.

.

.

.

He would have left the place to seek for further protection if not for seeing Koharu stand so fearlessly in front of the gang of men holding guns while protecting that new transfer student.

Why? He wanted to ask her.)

71.

"If it isn't the infamous Kuroi Akuma (Black Demon) of Akatsuki (Red Dawn)." The leader of the gang said with a fox-like smile on his face. "I would ask you politely to hand over the oyabun of the Akatsuki gang but it would be pointless seeing how protective you are of him. Your association with his gang has not gone unnoticed, my dear."

Koharu stared at him blankly.

He cleared his throat in slight embarrassment, seeing as his words did not affect her at all. "Let us get this show on the road then." He raised his hand as a signal.

72.

Igarashi Tora's eyes widened in shock at the sudden revelation.

Did he just mishear it?

Was Yoshida Koharu...

.

.

.

...really a member of the Yakuza?

73.

Igarashi Tora was forced to leave the premises by his bodyguards once the gunfighting started.

(Koharu! He wanted to shout her name. She was in danger!)

(Dammit!)

74.

When the bullets went flying towards them, Tsukasa was not afraid. He knew that Koharu would protect him.

Guns were nothing to her.

He watched as she stood in front of him protectively with a single kunai in each hand. In a flurry of movements, she was deflecting the bullets in superhuman speed.

She was not called Kuroi Akuma for nothing after all.

75.

Yoshida Koharu did not know that what she was doing was rather impossible by human standards.

She thought herself normal since she could not access chakra in this world...but she was wrong, her abnormal prowess was attributed to her inhuman training.

.

.

.

That day, she killed all those men. Her victory against such a large group, overwhelming.

(It had been such a public event yet nothing had been mentioned of it in the news or the papers.)

Sneak Preview:

?.

"Who are you really, Yoshida Koharu?!" Tora yelled out to her in utter confusion.


A/N: Oh mi gosh! Please review to tell me what you think about this crack(?) pairing and how the story is going so far. There will be a part 4...soon. HEHEHEHE~

Oh, wait! Here's a short extra:


Extra:

"Come to think of it," Tsukasa said out loud in curiosity, "what are you planning to do to the traitor, Koharu?"

The black haired girl paused in her steps and turned to face him. A cold closed-eyed smile caused him to gulp rather loudly.

"Do not worry, Tsukasa." She answered. "He will be taken care of properly."

He knew that smile.

(Koharu would stop to nothing in order to protect those who were dear to her, even in killing in cold blood.)

(He could still remember those terrifying screams and red pools of blood.)
