Her eyes were tearing up. He couldn't take it anymore. The silence, the situation…He was pissed. He let go of her and stormed off.
Why the hell is this happening? She can't say yes…She can't. He stopped walking. I can't let her. He turned back around, and walked to where Misaki and Yuki are.
"Misaki, why are you still quiet? Answer me now. You don't want to disappoint me. You know the consequences."
Bankotsu heard what Yuki had said. He wanted to learn more, but he knew they wouldn't willingly tell him. He decided to hide behind a nearby tree. What the hell is he talking about, he thought as he peeked from behind the tree.
"I know…I know." He heard Misaki say.
"So answer me! I said-will you marry me!"
"….."
"Misaki…" He said through gritted teeth.
"You said all I had to do was be your girlfriend. That was the deal not marriage."
"And people propose to their girlfriends. Look you want your mom to be ok don't you?"
She nodded, "Of course I do. You know I do, but why do you have to do this?"
"Because I'm in control. Without me your mother is screwed and you know it." He thought for a minute then sighed. "Fine I'll go a little easy on you. You have until Monday. By then you better have an answer."
Yuki turned around and walked to his car. Bankotsu watched, and waited for him to drive off. Once Yuki was out of sight Bankotsu came from behind the tree. Misaki turned around and was startled when she noticed him. He walked up to her.
"What the hell is going on, Misaki?"
"Nothing," She said trying to walk pass him.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of him. "Stop lying alright. I heard everything. You two have a deal, and it has something to do with your mother. Misaki, you mine as well tell me."
She sighed, "I have to be his girlfriend because if I don't my mother could die, or be sick forever."
"What's wrong with her and what does Yuki have to do with it."
"He is giving me money to pay for her treatment, and in return I am his girlfriend."
"Does your mother know?" Misaki shook her head. "You can't keep this up, Misaki. He's trying to marry you. The guy is a perv."
"I know…But my mother."
He placed his hands on her shoulders, "Don't tell me you're considering this. You're not going to accept his proposal are you?" She was quiet. "Misaki?"
"I don't know. It doesn't seem like I have any other option."
"I'll help you instead. I do exactly what he does. Misaki, I sell drugs because he gives them to me."
She shook her head, "I don't want you to. I don't like it when you sell drugs for yourself I definitely would hate it if you did it for me."
"Yeah I know, but I lo-" he got quiet and looked down. Misaki stared at him. "Look I just want to help."
"NO! I don't need help I'll handle this on my own. I'm not putting anyone in any danger. Just let me handle this please. I appreciate your concern, but I got this." I hope I do.
She removed his hands off of her shoulders. She looked at him and smiled. "I'll see you around." She then walked off.
Bankotsu wanted to go after her, but he knew it was pointless. He knew Misaki long enough to know how she can be. He needed to get someone else to talk to her. He needed to get her cousin. He left to go find Inuyasha.
Misaki walked home. The whole way her head was down. She was in such emotional distraught. She really wanted to break down right then and there, but refused to do it in public. She couldn't take the fact she was Yuki's girlfriend, the fact she wasn't with Bankotsu, the fact she felt as if she betrayed Kai, or the fact her mom's health was on the line.
She got to her house, walked in and went to her room. She fell on her bed, and placed her face into her pillow. She cried herself to sleep.
Bankotsu was down town searching every alley way and abandoned house for Inuyasha. He was getting frustrated that he couldn't find him. Damn that Inuyasha. Where the hell is he? He stopped. He was tired of walking. He decided to go around his apartment. He might be around there.
Bankotsu took the train to his neighborhood. He got off the train and walked to the alley way near his apartment building. To his luck Inuyasha was there making a sell. Once Inuyasha was finished Bankotsu walked over to him. Inuyasha noticed him and frowned. "What the hell do you want? You better be staying away from my cousin!"
"Shut the fuck up. Luckily for you Misaki hasn't been spending anytime with me."
"That's good!"
"Look ass hole I came here to tell you something about her."
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"She's been seeing some other drug dealer, but it isn't good. He's like forty or something I don't know. His name is Yuki. He is a fucking pervert who is using the fact that Misaki's mother is sick to get with her."
"Wait what the hell is going on? How is he using Misaki?"
Bankotsu sighed, "He is giving Misaki money, so her mom could get better. In return Misaki has to be his girl. Her mother doesn't know."
Inuyasha was angry. "What the hell! Why would Misaki do this. I know she cares about her mother, but this is ridiculous."
"Tell me about it."
"I owe you one, Bankotsu. I'm going to talk to her."
"You need to hurry and do that. He proposed to her today, and she has until Monday to answer him."
Inuyasha nodded and went off. I'll confront her tomorrow while my aunt is at work.
It was the next day and Misaki was home alone. She was in the living room watching television. There was a knock at the door. She got up and answered it. It was Inuyasha.
"Hey." She said.
He slammed the door behind him. "What the hell is this about you dating this man?"
Misaki bit her bottom lip, Damn Bankotsu. "Look, Inuyasha, it's to help my mother."
"You're not going to go with him anymore and you're not going to marry him!"
"I don't want to marry him! I just want to help my mom."
"Don't be stupid. I want to help her to!"
"I know, but that means you're going to be selling drugs, and I don't want you to."
"I'm going to work okay. I'm going to get the money to help pay for her treatment. I already have a job. I start in a couple of days. I've been looking for work while selling drugs"
"Really?"
"Yes, Misaki, and you should work too. Together we'll put up money. We will help her, okay."
She nodded, and hugged him. He returned the hug. "I'm going to go now, but promise me you'll end it with the guy." She nodded, and smiled. He opened the door and walked out.
Inuyasha walked down town. He went to the subway. There he seen Bankotsu and walked up to him. "Thanks again for telling me about Misaki."
Bankotsu looked at him, "So is she going to stop?" Inuyasha nodded. "So, what are yall going to do?"
"I told her to get a job and we will both work."
"You got a job?"
"Hell no. work isn't for me. No one would hire me anyhow."
"So what are you going to do? Are you just going to hustle harder?"
Inuyasha nodded, "Then ever."
It was Monday and Misaki was giving a speech to the senior class. She was discusses plans for the last couple of months and graduation. She couldn't wait for it to be over. Once she was finished her speech school would be over, and she could end it with Yuki. The bell finally rung and everyone started to leave.
Misaki left the auditorium and walked up the stairs. She was walking to her locker. She noticed Kai at his and decided to approach him. "Hi." She said.
Kai closed his locker and looked at her. "Hey."
"Are you still mad?"
"Yeah I am, Misaki. One day I was told he tried to rape you and then you're dating him. Tell me what's up with that?"
"I'm breaking up with him today."
"That still doesn't explain anything."
"I know, but if you walk me to his house I'll explain everything on the way. I promise I will."
Kai sighed, "Fine, let's go."
They were outside walking. "I'm sorry, Misaki, if I would've known I wouldn't have gotten as mad as I did. Still would've been mad though, but I would have understood."
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I wasn't proud of it and he is evil who knows what would have happened."
They stopped talking once they reached Yuki's house. Misaki gulped. She was afraid, but she didn't want to show it. She didn't show it. Anything could happen, but she knew she had to get this done. She walked ahead of Kai up the stairs, and knocked on the door.
Inuyasha was around Bankotsu's apartment building making sells. He was on his feet all day. He was tired, but he wasn't ready to rest. He walked into the alley way. There were two guys waiting for him.
"You got the money?" Inuyasha asked them. They nodded. "Alright show it to me." The two men both pulled out wads of cash.
"And you have the goods right?" One of them asked.
"Yeah all here," He said showing the inside of his jacket. The inside of his jacket had pockets; each pocket was filled with bags. He walked over to the men. They handed him the money and he handed them all the bags.
"Alright, we'll give you a call when we need more." One of them said. The two men walked off. Inuyasha let out a breath and leaned against the wall. He heard rustling. He turned to look, and notice someone coming from behind the dumpster. Inuyasha immediately knew it was an addict.
The addict was slowly walking to him. "Do you have more…More of the stuff?"
"Yeah, but I'm a little short right now. I made lots of sales today and have only one bag left for now."
"Okay, okay that'll do..J-ju-just gi-give it. Can I-I ha-have it."
"You can if you give me money."
The addict went into his pocket. He pulled out money and slowly handed it to Inuyasha. Inuyasha took the money from his shaky hands. The man grabbed the bag and ran off. Man I'm tired. I need to get more stuff soon. He thought.
Inuyasha turned around to leave, but was taken aback by a young man standing behind him. "Can I help you?" He asked the young man.
"Yeah yeah yeah…Do you have more of the stuff? I just saw you sell some. Do you got more? Come on man I need some."
"Nope sorry you have to get it from someone else. For the time being I'm all out."
"Come on don't tell me that. You have to have more. I'll do anything just name it." The man got on his knee's begging.
"Get the hell up! I told you I'm out."
The guy started to tug at Inuyasha's fly. "I'll do anything."
Inuyasha kicked him, "What the fuck do you think you're doing." The guy stood up and started to invade Inuyasha's jacket pockets. "Get the hell off." Inuyasha said trying to get the guy off of him.
"NO!" He roared, "Give me the goods!"
Inuyasha pushed him off of him and punched him in the face. The guy went inside of his jacket and pulled out a gun. Inuyasha was about to push him again, but stopped at the sight of the gun. The man pulled the trigger.
Bankotsu was headed for the alley way of his apartment building. He was about to meet some of his clients. He walked into the alley way and noticed Inuyasha. He was lying on the ground. Bankotsu also noticed he wasn't moving and there was a puddle of blood under him. He ran up to Inuyasha.
Oh no, this isn't good. Damn, I have to do something. He thought as he pulled out his phone.
Yuki answered the door. "Oh, if it isn't my girlfriend, and my son. What are you doing here, Kai?" He said in a bitter tone.
"I came here to keep an eye on Misaki."
"Come in then." They stepped inside. "So, Misaki I hope you came here with an answer, and I mean the right answer."
"I did. I came here with the best answer, and the answer is no."
"What." He said through gritted teeth.
"And the deal is off. I can't stand being your girlfriend and I won't be for another second. You sicken me and I don't ever want you bothering me again. Keep your money and your distance."
"Little bitch! You're not ending this."
"I just did." She was about to turn and walk away, but Yuki grabbed her arm.
"You're mine, and it's going to stay that way."
"Dad, it's over! Let her go!" Kai shouted balling up his fist.
"Not until I say it is."
Misaki was pulling her arm. "Let go!" His grip only got tighter. Kai went over and tried to release her from his grip. Yuki pushed him out of the way. Kai stumbled backwards.
Kai went back over and tried helping her again. He pulled Misaki and freed her from Yuki's grip. Yuki was furious and pushed Kai. Misaki trying to defend her friend pushed Yuki into his side table. Yuki picked up the lamp and threw it at her.
She dodged it. "What the hell is wrong with you!" Kai said, "Misaki let's go."
Yuki stood up and tackled Kai. Kai fell to the ground. Yuki got up and walked over to Misaki, misaki was backing up as he approached her. Kai took a while to get up due to the pain. He slowly got up and tackled his dad.
He tackled Yuki into the mantel piece. Having Yuki hit his head. Yuki fell unconscious. His head was bleeding. Kai looked at his father stunned. "I didn't mean for that to happen."
Misaki was also stunned. "Misaki, go upstairs and get the first aid. I hate him, but I'm not going to leave him like this. I'll at least patch his head up and call the ambulance, or cops something." She nodded and ran upstairs.
Once Misaki was upstairs the front door swung open. Two cops stood at the entrance. "Officers?" Said Kai.
"You're under arrest."
"What!"
"We got a call from the neighbors saying that there was commotion coming from this house. You did this?" The cop said pointing to Yuki.
"No wait. It was self-defense."
Misaki ran down the steps. She saw Kai getting handcuffed. "Wait what's going on?"
"Misaki call my mom. They're taking me down town for questioning."
Misaki looked at the cops, "You can't take him. He isn't the bad guy. He didn't do anything-"
"Stay out of this girl. We'll decide whether or not he's innocent." The cop took Kai out of the house and walked him to the police car. One of the cops went up to her. "You're coming with us too young lady."
Misaki glared at the cop. She was angry, but she had to tell them the truth. Kai is innocent, and Yuki is the one who should be punished. Her phone suddenly rung. She answered it. "Hello."
She listened and as she listened her eyes widened. Her mouth opened and froze. Her phone fell from her hands. She couldn't believe what she was just told.
