Hayato's P.O.V

Walking around the park was our thing. She never wanted to go home early, and we were supposed to be walking home from school. It had been a few days since that meeting. I was curious about what Oshiro-San had told her.

"Emi, what did he mean? The Proposal?" I asked and she stopped walking to look at me. She turned away,

"I have been offered the position of leader of the Odeo House." she said and I felt shocked. She turned back around,

"I don't want to be leader. But I don't want to turn it down either. Its not every day that you get that offer. Its usually offered to family." she said and started walking again. I began walking myself to keep up.

"I want to be an English teacher, but the idea that I can be a teacher, as well as the Granddaughter to the Yakuza doesn't seem likely. Its not a life I want to give up. " she said and we went silent.

"You can." said a voice and we both turned to see Shin. He was with Ayumi, who was smiling at Emiko.

"Emi, why didn't you tell me that he offered that. We know you don't want to be a leader. Im taking over for Grandpa. " she said and Emiko nodded, Shin however had something else to say,

"Ive been thinking for a while of asking for leadership. You don't have to give up this life to be a teacher Emiko. No one expects you to do that." Shin said, Emiko looked thoughtful. But as to what she would do, I had no idea what her plans were.

Emiko's P.O.V

The day after Graduation was hectic. Hayato had gotten his own apartment, and it was close to Akadou Gakuen. Something was wrong with Rei, but I couldn't figure out what. Ayumi came walking over, she had been offered the position of Math Teacher, as well as the new Home Room teacher for class 3-D. We needed more teachers like Yankumi, and Ayumi wanted to try and be like her.

"You see it too?" she asked as she watched Rei. Rei was jumpy and seemed to be watching the whole crowd.

"Just what happened at her old school?"i asked and she shrugged,

"No idea. Anyways, you should apply for the English Teacher at Akadou. I heard the person quit." she said and smiled. I rolled my eyes at her, as she walked off.

Hayato had gone home first, while I stayed behind to help Ayumi with her plans for next year. As I walked I started to feel like I was being watched. I turned around a few times to look, but couldn't see anyone. Suddenly 3 men came out of nowhere and grabbed me. They held a white cloth, and I knew what it was. I kicked his hand and he dropped it. But obviously I was screwed. I was grabbed from behind and a cloth was placed over my nose and mouth. Immediately I started feeling sleepy and before I knew what was happening, I was out.

When I woke up, I realized that I was tied up. My hands were tied behind me back and my jacket was gone. I saw my brass knuckles on a table, and it was too far away to get to.

"Ah your awake. I also see that you noticed your jacket and brass knuckles. We can't have you defending yourself." he said and I spit at him in retaliation. I was suddenly back handed, but it wasn't just his hands. I realized that he had a set of brass knuckles on as well. My head was throbbing and I was sure that I tasted blood in my mouth. He kicked me a few times for good measure, which made me skid away from him.

"Your my bait. I know that Ayumi will come for you, and when she does, I plan to kill her. You get to watch her die." he said and I once again spat at his feet. He sighed, he motioned several men forward, and they began hitting me with pipes. One of them hit my hand, and I screamed as I felt it break. I looked up and noticed that I was closer to the table that held my brass knuckles. I moved my hands and noticed that there was space. I forcefully pulled my broken hand through the ropes, and managed to free a hand. While they were talking amongst themselves, I worked on the ropes around my other hand. Then I jumped up and grabbed my brass knuckles. When I was done beating up his friends, he smirked,

"Maybe I should have killed you instead. But of course I was weak, since your so cute." he said and I growled.

"Oh go fuck yourself. If you think for one second that im going to be flattered you are sadly mistaken." I said as I heard the warehouse door open. Ayumi, Shin, Hayato, Ryu, Noda, and my family came running into the room. While he was looking away, I ran past him and into Hayato's arms. Within seconds, my strength left, and Hayato had to hold me up.

"Take her home Hayato." Ayumi said as she looked over at me. I didn't have room to argue, as I could barley hold myself up. Hayato picked me up bridal style and walked out, with Ryu following behind.

Kuroda-San sat in our apartment. He had come to visit, and get my answer. Hayato had gone out with the boys, and I was left to wait on Kuroda and Ayumi.

"Kuroda-San. With all due respect, I don't want to be a leader. " I said and he nodded, he didn't seem shocked to hear that.

"I figured as much. You have an idea I take it?" he asked and I smiled. He was taking this better than I thought.

"Yes. I think that Shin would be the perfect person. He has already considered asking you. But Sir, maybe having him would be good with your family. Ayumi is taking the spot of her Grandpa, and she wants to someday merge your family with ours." I said and he seemed to think on that.

"That is not a bad idea. It would make us stronger. On a different subject, I know that you wish to be a teacher. What of your life with the Yakuza?" he asked as he sat his cup of tea down.

"Well Hayato doesn't want to be Yakuza, but he doesn't care that I am. I want to be both, a teacher and Yakuza. I don't wish to leave my family." I said and he smiled,

"Then you are were you should be. Your following your dream, just like Kumiko is following hers. " he said and stood up. He hugged me once, and then left the apartment. I was shocked. I had never been hugged by him before.

1 Year Later-

"So how shocked do you think Rei is going to be?" Hayato asked me as he dressed in a business suit. He had taken a job as a lawyers assistant. I had applied for the English Teacher at Akadou Gakuen. Ayumi and Shin had finally married as well, and had taken over as leaders. But both old men were still alive. We had also gotten married just last month.

"Well, she will be shocked. After all, I didn't tell her anything about this when she saw me at our wedding. Now, hurry up. If your late you will be in huge trouble, which isn't anything new." I said as I walked past him.

"Oi. I'm not always in trouble." he said and I turned to stare pointedly at him. He sighed,

"That doesn't count." he said and I smirked as I picked up my bag. I was wearing a pair of jeans, and a black dress shirt, with the Oshiro family necklace around my neck.

"Just hurry." I said as I walked past him again and walked out the door.

"Oi! What about my lunch?" he yelled out the door, and I laughed as I turned.

"In the usual spot. Seriously, do I need to get your eyes checked?" I asked and laughed harder when he turned a bright red.

"My eyes are fine. Hey, ill be going out with Ryu and the others tonight, want to come along?" he asked and I shook my head.

"No. You know that Yankumi is going to be at the school. Which means I have to help her keep the new boys out of trouble." I said, he sighed. I turned away and tried to not to laugh at his dejected look.

"Look, just bring the boys to the school to see me, and then go out. God knows we haven't seen each other in a while." I said and then turned and walked off. I ignored the yell that sounded from him, and kept walking. I couldn't be late either, and since he interrupted me, I was going to be late.

That is the end of this story. Now stay tuned for the 3rd story about Rei. By the way, I own nothing but my characters.
