"Let go of her!" it was the first thing that came from my mouth as I stand with my fists at my sides resisting the urge to punch this fucker. Normally I wouldn't hesitate but Chisa could get killed and I don't wanna risk that.

A hand landed on my shoulder, a firm but calm grip came with it. I glanced behind me and Asano gave me a quiet look I exchanged a glance with him and understood.

Using Violence in this situation is very dangerous. Let us just play it calm for now until there is an opening where we can save Chisa. We don't want them to harm her,

.

.

Is what that look told me, I turned my eyes back to the buff many holding Chisa down his arm over his chest keeping her in place the gun still pressed to her head and although I was worried I remained calm like Asano suggested.

"Look," I said putting my hands up showing I had no weapons, "I'll do whatever the hell you want just don't hurt her."

.

.

.

The man glanced at me, eyeing me searching for any lies, glancing at my pants as if to check for any hidden weapon but I didn't have one and he knew that.

Suddenly the sound of slow clapping drew our attention and my eyes widened as the pair of eyes looked at me as he came closer.

"I'm disappointed, I expected more resistance from you,

Brother."

I bit my lower lip. Fuck! It's Alex, dressed in that black clothing of fucking jeans and a hoodie with that damn black face mask over his mouth hiding apart of his face the familiar red star infront of the same color circle on the front of said facemask that all of the members of his damn gang had. Those red eyes that had grown darker since I'd last saw him staring at me with no emotion in them. A part of me knew he was grinning sadistically under that damn mask like he fucking enjoyed all of this!

Asano merely stared at Alex not glaring at him but observing his movements picking him apart like the nerd he was still holding the calm expression which had a hint of anger in those violet eyes of his.

"Unlike you I have a fucking heart and I'd die before I let you hurt Chisa." He laughed hysterically for a minute I only glared at him suppressing the urge to run forward and punch him so hard he'd bleed. After he was fucking done he wiped away a tear that wasn't there holding his chest before standing up straight and replying,

"We both know you don't have a heart brother. If you had a hear you wouldn't have treated mother and father the way you did, or me for that matter. You only care about yourself, you merely took in MY daughter because father wouldn't stop hounding you about it."

That burned an anger deep within me and I felt my body burn hot I didn't think and only felt myself rushing forward hearing Asano yelling my name and the next thing I knew I was throwing a punch that was being annoyingly dodged by fucking Alex. Once I realized what I'd done I didn't throw another punch despite wanting to so badly, I stood there fists at my side glaring at him with murderous intent.

"Oh, what's wrong dear brother? Did I strike a nerve?" I grinded my teeth together feeling the veins popping from my head trying desperately to keep my anger under raps.

"I fucking care about her more than you ever will! She means fucking nothing to you! All you care about is using her for your damn games and whatever you damn well please! She doesn't deserve that she doesn't deserve-"

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE NEEDS YOU AREN'T HER FATHER!" Her cut me off before readjusting his jacket and clearing his throat, so many openings…"Ah, apologizes. I can't allow my temper to get the best of me, not like you dear brother."

"I'm not your fucking brother." I spat, he waved a finger at me,

"Tsk tsk tsk, you always had such foul language Yowai." I was visibly shaking now,

"Yowai?" I could hear Asano say questionably from behind me.

"Don't….you...FUCKING call me that!" He fucking laughed again casually walking closer to me, hands in his damn pockets.

"Aw, you still aren't fond of that name huh?"

"That's not my fucking name." I said glaring at him. I could practically see that smug ass smile under his mouth,

"Oh but it is. Why won't you just accept already that you are-UGH!" I knocked him to the ground so hard he fell flat on his ass and I could see the blood dripping from his nose...he glanced up at me with wide eyes before the calmed down with in an instant.

At this point the rage was seething through my teeth and I was just about to beat this fucker black and blue until I heard the click of that gun reminding me to keep my anger in check like I was so kind of damn wild mutt.

I glanced at Chisa who was pale, terrified and my body relaxed as well as my expression just to get punched in the face and stumble back, I verbally growled out of anger..

Alex was wiping his damn nose, "Don't forget brother, your in my corner now. So you better place nice." I glared at him,

"What do you want from me huh?! I don't care what it is just let Chisa go now!"

"Why should I? She is my daughter after all...she deserves to belong with her father." I looked over to Chisa and then my eyes drift to Asnao, he's still calm and waiting for me to give him a sign, something.

I sighed aloud not even meaning to and my eyes trace back to that smug bastard in front of me. I feel like I am swallowing my pride right now but if it means she's safe then that's I will do it…

Regretfully and thanking the gods nobody (besides Asano which is still horribly embarrassing) is here to see this I get down on both my knees and lower my head to Alex…

"I'll do whatever you want ...just let her go...I'll even join your little gang...be brothers...just let her go.."

.

.

.

.

"...Karma…" I heard Asano speak quietly...surprised...I didn't want him to see this weak side of me however hearing him speak my first name made me less anxious. Even though we confessed to each other we still didn't really feel comfortable addressing each other by our first.

I looked at Asano and then back to Alex.

"If you let her go-let her go I will join you. Do we have a deal." I knew Alex was no dumbass and I knew he knew I wasn't this easy and I wouldn't join his damn gang that easily in fact I'd join over my dead body however, apart of me hoped, prayed he bought this even for a couple of seconds-long enough for Chisa to get away to safety…

He stroked his chin humming to himself looking down on me ...both physically and mentally.

With a snap of his fingers I heard a yelp and saw Chisa fall to the concrete, she wasn't hurt thank god she startled but suddenly being let go.

"We have a deal." Alex spoke finally, without even having to give him a look Asano had already gone to Chisa's side to check if she was hurt at all.

I looked at Asano, "Go." was all I said,

"Akabane I can't just-"

"Gakushuu." I said refusing to take my eyes off him he didn't look away. "Please." Hardly hesitating he nodded and picked up Chisa in his arms and hurried off with her to safety…

Be careful you too...and protect her you damn idiot or I swear your punishment won't be pleasurable.

Once they were out of site I brought myself off the ground so fast I was a blur to my brother before knocking him back to the ground. "Get up asshwole, I'm not done with you." He only sat there ...quiet for a moment before it escaped him quiet at first before it got louder that crazy laugh.

"What the hells so funny!" I said grabbing him by the front of his hoodie he stared into my eyes.

"Ah, you really are gullible brother. You see, I had an…..arrangement with someone and I'm fulfilling my end of the deal. You see I always win in the end, she gets what she wants I get my daughter back and then I get to watch you suffer as I trash that girl around as I please."

"BASTARD!" I yelled punching him in the mouth and he laughed despite me knocking a tooth out.

"There's no point in getting upset dear brother, she'll have what she desires and once she has that I will go retrieve my child. Now, if you'll excuse me, please move dear brother."

He shoved me away and raised quickly before he had the chance to move further I blocked the gate that led further into the alleyway.

"Like fucking hell I'd let you get to her." He laughed,

"Brother we both know I've always been stronger."

Yeah well unlike you I've been training to be an assassin for a year straight so bring it on fucker. If I can even buy a little time it'll be worth it, I won't let him get to her.

"OVER. MY. DEAD. BODY." He laughed pulling his hood down revealing his red hair messier than mine and appeared darker. He cracked his knuckles and neck.

"That can be arranged."

Damn idiot I swear if he fucking gets himself killed I'll go to the after life and slap the hell out of him and ask him what the fuck he was thinking!

No, calm down Asano, you need to focus, make sure the child is safe.

I came to the edge of the alleyway the exit to the street was close but my eyes caught sight of someone blocking the path, a pathetic figure with long strings of hair and scarlet eyes staring right at me with those white teeth formed into a mischievous smile.

"Asano~ I'm so glad to see you again.." Damn, I put Chisa down and pushed her behind me as I put an arm in front of her telling her,

"Stay behind me." I normally wouldn't hit a girl but in this situation I think Akabane would hit me if I didn't and I need to assure this girl is safe.

"Asano-kun..I'm scared." I hear her say. I look at her and manage a fearless smile,

"I know, but it'll be okay. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." For your sake and Akabane's...I'll keep you safe, I promise.
