With the Port Mafia
It was the third day since Hana was kidnapped and taken by the port Mafia currently Chuuya and Hanna were sitting down in the living room of Chuuya's quarters. Chuuya was drinking a glass of wine while Hanna was reading one of the books that was on Chuuya's shelf, she sighed.
"what's up kid?"
"it's just it's boring reading all day. Chuuya isn't there something else we can do?"
Chuuya was silent for a couple minutes thinking. honestly he wanted to know what she meant by shadows protecting her. maybe she's gifted like him, it wouldn't be a crazy assumption with who her father is. this could be a good opportunity to learn more about her and he must admit he did have a soft spot for the kid not that he'll ever say it out loud. finally he decided, he drank the rest of the wine in the glass and put the bottle away. he got up and started heading for the door, but not without putting on his trademark Fandora that he always wore.
"come on, we're going out."
without question Hanna got up and started following after him. they slowly made their way down a long hallway reaching a door near the end of it. he slowly opened the door heading inside Hanna close behind. as she fallowed him she looked around curiously, there were weapons hanging from the walls and and a big mat on the floor, as well as other types of equipment.
"what is this place?"
Hanna asked looking around with interest.
"the training room for most of the higher ups in the mafia."
"ok but what are we gonna do here?"
"you said you were tired of reading books, and we can't leave base at the moment so that leaves us with this. I'll teach you how to fight."
she looked up at Chuuya.
"but mom said it's bad to fight, and besides if I did get into trouble the shadows will-"
"you can't always rely on that ability."
"why not?"
"you never know when the situation could change or how the battle will go. you have to be prepared for anything. if you were you wouldn't be here right now. Hanna."
he looked at her, she couldn't deny that it was true. even though she tried to fight back and even though her shadows did protect her for the most part from Akutagawa's attacks, it still wasn't strong enough to prevent her from being taken. she could only nod. Chuuya being satisfied with her understanding spoke again.
"so what do you say, you want to learn how to fight to be strong?"
Hanna looked up at him.
"yeah. I want become strong."
he couldn't help but smirk at her words. she was like her father in someways, yes. but also different in others.
'could they be from her mother? or something all her own?'
"show me what you can do, and don't hold back."
he let his black coat that he always wore hanging off his shoulders fall to the ground leaving it at the side of the room and headed to the mat. she fallowed him to the middle of the mat, where he stood. his body relaxed.
"ok, Hana. when you're ready come at me with everything you got."
she nodded, after a moment of looking at him she ran straight at him directly.
'A frontal attack? this kids got guts.'
Chuuya was about to block when Hanna pivoted her foot at the last minute. turning almost as if disappearing aiming a kick near the back of his neck. Chuuya grabbed her ankle at the last minute blocking something that could have done a good amount of damage if faster, and with more strength.
"nice job kid. you sure you haven't fought at all? that would've been a good hit."
he asked, as he used his gravity manipulation to help lower her down safely. since she had to jump a good amount in order for her kick to reach where she was aiming.
"you had a medical book in your lowest shelf, it had a chart of that human body. I had time to memorize it while you had to meet with someone a little bit ago."
"you memorized that? I was only gone for a hour."
he said a little surprised. he knew he shouldn't be since she is Dazai's daughter after all.
'she must have inherited some of his brains and not just his looks.'
Chuuya honestly didn't even know he had that type of book in one of his bookshelves. it must have been one of the ones that was left there before he got that room.
'well I guess you learn something new every day.'
he thought to himself.
"well good job kid. that'll definitely be useful to know the weak points of the body when fighting your opponent. you need to work on your strength more and speed. not to mention everything else."
"hey!"
"it's true. would you rather me be honest with you, or would you rather be hurt or worse dead. cause that's what'll happen."
there was a long pause once again. she had to admit he was right and just nodded, then looked away sadly. he noticed this and sighed internally then spoke again.
"but that isn't to say you don't have potential. if you put in a lot of hard work then I'm sure you can become strong."
she looked back at him with a smile. he couldn't help but chuckle a bit. he beckoned her over and she quickly goes up to him when she gets close enough he flicked her in the four head lightly.
"ow."
she whines.
"don't let it go to your head now."
she rubbed her four head pouting. he chuckled a little again and went to go pick up his coat.
unbeknownst to them, two figures were looking through the door way talking quietly. it was Gin and Tachihara.
"you think it's a new recruit? she's so young."
Gin said.
"I heard that Nakahara san was suppose to be watching over her for now as a mission."
"why would they put a executive in charge of looking after a child though? it doesn't make sense unless she has a powerful gift like Q's or something. not to mention it seems more like he's entertaining her and not so much training her."
"honestly. when did we become babysitters?"
another voice spoke out. the two turned to see Akutagawa walking up to them.
"Akutagawa San."
"nii san, do you know who the child is?"
"that is the child of Dazai san."
"Dazai san had a kid!?"
Tachihara said in surprise, apparently a little two loud. as Chuuya and Hana turned their heads to see the three of them looking through the doorway, with Akutagawa in the middle.
"yes. he had a child. but according to her he doesn't even know she exists. he probably didn't even love her mother in the first place. used her then left."
"your wrong."
"hmmm."
Akutagawa looked at Hana her bangs were covering her eyes.
"you're wrong. dad did love mom, he did. mom doesn't usually talk about dad, but she did once. she said that "he was one in a million. and that there was no one like him.""
Chuuya stayed silent thinking. honestly he agreed with Akutagawa on the points he made. he's known Dazai for a long time and never had he known him to take a woman's heart seriously, or cared for anyone. but Hana was just a child who was still young. it was clear that her mother didn't want her upset. he gave Akutagawa a warning look. which he blatantly ignored.
"your father abandoned you and your mother. and never visited or sent you one letter to his name. what does that tell you?"
"YOUR WRONG!"
at that moment shadow like tentacles shot out from behind Hana heading straight for Akutagawa.
"Rashomon!"
the giant jaws of Rashomon appeared. but before it even got a chance to move a centimeter one the shadows wrapped around it Making it unable to move.
"What?"
he looked at the girl in front of him. her eyes showed pain and hurt, anger. tears were coming from her eyes. another shadow tentacle shot out. this one stabbing Akutagawa in the shoulder. Chuuya's eyes widened.
'no one has ever gotten through Akutagawa's defenses other then Dazai and the weartiger. but this kid this kid managed to do it easily, without any training. it's like it's a subconscious instinct.'
"I know you're wrong! cause mom never would've kept it, if dad didn't love her!"
'kept it?'
Chuuya frowned at those words.
'could this have something to do with why boss took her?'
Hana's shadows disappeared and she ran out of the room in a random direction.
"Hana wait!"
she ignored Chuuya and kept on running.
"damn it!"
Chuuya glared at Akutagawa.
"can't you keep your mouth shut!"
"it's the truth. it doesn't matter what she feels."
that comment angered Chuuya.
"for tainted sorrow."
Akutagawa's body started to glow red and in a instant his body slammed down on the ground causing a crater around him, from the force of gravity.
"listen Akutagawa it doesn't matter if it's the truth or not. and feeling do matter they help in the choices we make for the city and the mafia. in addition she is a child, who knows nothing about the conflict or her origins. also you should limit the information you say out loud when talking with hostages around. the boss will be hearing a report from me later on."
Chuuya deactivated his ability looking at the mafioso on the ground.
"get up and go to the infirmary to get your wounds treated. now if you'll excuse me I have to go find the girl."
Hana didn't know how but she somehow made it outside and was now near a dock on a bench looking at the sea. sniffling from the left over tears she'd been crying earlier.
'dad dose love us right?'
Hana looked at the sea. the sky was beginning to turn orange it would be night soon.
"young girl, what are you doing out here so late it's dangerous?"
Hana looked over in the direction of the voice. standing to the side was a beautiful woman in a kimono, with orange hair that was up in a traditional Japanese hairstyle and held an umbrella. Hana wiped the left over tears away from her face.
"ohh I'm sorry. I got lost."
"did you lose your family?"
the woman asked.
"n-no I'm not really allowed to go back to them right now. I was with Chuuya a little bit ago. but then the guy with the giant jaw monster said something really mean, and I got really angry and sad. so my shadows attacked him and I ran away and then I ended up here."
"you said you were with Chuuya? do you mean Chuuya Nakahara?"
Hana nodded.
"I see, I can bring you back to Chuuya if wish."
Hana nodded, but stopped.
"wait how do I know you're telling the truth?"
the woman took out her phone and dials a number then puts it on speaker phone. it rings for a moment then the sound of Chuuya's voice comes through.
"Onee san is this important? cause I'm a bit busy right now."
"don't be rude. I found a young girl looking at the sea while I was on my evening walk, she said she lost you."
there was a pause.
"is she still with you?"
"yes."
"is she ok?"
"yes."
"can I talk to her?"
"yes. you're on speaker phone."
Hana could hear Chuuya sigh.
"Hana."
"yeah?"
"I want you to stay with the woman you're with right now and wait there. I'll come get you."
"ok."
"good. thank you Onee san, I'll be right there just stay with her."
"very well."
after that Chuuya hung up the phone and so did she she. then took a seat next to the girl on the bench over looking the sea.
"so Chuuya called you Onee san, dose that mean you're his sister?"
"I suppose in a way I am. I did look after him for a time. I'm Kouyou Okazaki."
"oh right, I'm sorry I didn't say my name earlier. I'm Hana L/N."
"well Hana it's nice to meet you."
"it's nice to meet you too."
"so I assume you know where Chuuya works?"
"yeah."
"and you're not afraid of him?"
"no. Chuuya is a good guy. sure he's rough around the edges and dose bad things but he's not a bad person deep down. he's only been kind to me since the very beginning of him taking care of me. even though I said some mean things to him in the beginning. he was really nice and understanding."
Kouyou smiled at the description.
Hana looked at Kouyou studying her for a moment.
"what is it?"
"oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare. it's just I I was just thinking that that you're very beautiful."
"thank you."
"HEY!"
Hana herd Chuuya's voice shout as she sees him running closer, finally stopping in front of her.
"where the hell were you!? I was looking everywhere for you! you know how dangerous it is around here!"
Hana looked down ashamed.
"I'm sorry. you're right, I didn't mean to runaway it's just..."
"yeah I know. it's what he said right?"
Hana nodded.
"listen, just don't run off again like that. it really freaked me out you know. besides not everyone knows why you're here. you're lucky that you ran into Kouyou."
you nodded again feeling guilty. Chuuya seemed to notice this and sighed.
"ok. lectures over come on let's go back."
he held out his hand to Hana.
"hey Chuuya."
"yeah."
"can I have a piggy back ride? I feel really tired."
"yeah."
he picked Hana up putting her on his back.
"I think I'll come along as well. it's about time I be getting back too."
The walk was silent for the most part. Hana had fallen asleep on Chuuya's back. Kouyou walked along side Chuuya. she looked at the small girl on his back.
"so who is this girl, exactly? and how did she end up in your care?"
she asked in a quiet voice careful not to wake up Hana.
"she's the only child of that damn bastard that left."
"you mean she's Dazai's child?"
"yeah I got the job of babysitting from Mori after Akutagawa kidnapped her. no idea what the boss wants with her, but her put me in charge of looking after her while she's here."
"she does resemble Dazai quite a bit."
"yeah, thank god she doesn't act like him though. she's not a bad kid."
"dose Dazai know about the child?"
"I doubt it. when she arrived in front of Mori he was talking about him she didn't even know his name or what he looked like. anything about him actually. in fact when we questioned her about him she said she'd be useless to us because he doesn't know she exists. it pisses me off to know that he abandoned this kid and her mother. he had something so amazing yet he threw it away like it's nothing, the bastard."
Kouyou looked at Chuuya.
"Chuuya, could it be your growing soft?"
"don't be silly Onee san. I may be mafia scum. but I still have respect for some things. but don't mistake this for weakness either, my loyalty is to the mafia and it always will be."
Kouyou stopped for a moment, Chuuya turned to look at her.
"so even if you're ordered to kill that child or her mother, maybe even both, you'll still do it? despite your attachment to the girl."
Chuuya remained silent for a while thinking.
"I don't know. I guess we'll see if that time comes. hopefully it won't though."
he turned back and continued to make his way to the mafia.
