This was an absolute crazy situation I was in right now. The man who saved me from getting raped is the fucking Tojo Chairman?!
I could not believe what happened right now.
"I have to talk to her in private. Please leave.", Daigo said. The men guarding the door left.
He looked to me in disbelief. "How is that possible? Are you really the May I met half a year ago?"
"I guess I changed a little since then. But yes. It is me.", I said with a warm smile.
Daigo looked at me relived." I thought I would never see you again. I let some men search for you, but no none knew where you were. I'm glad that you're alive and well."
"So it were your men who tried to find me? This was the reason why I got this disguise. And then the people started calling me Kitsune of Kamurocho."
Daigo smiled at me: "I see. Mind to tell me how you got so strong?"
I told him the story how I met Akiyama and how he teached me the basics in self defence and how I came up with my own fighting style.
"Wow. And this all in just 7 months? I'm impressed."
"Well, I guess I had no other choice than getting good at fighting for the sake of my hard earned money."
Daigo smiled again at me: "Good to hear. Well since I finally found you, you don't need to join the Tojo Clan any-"
"WOAH WOHA, stop right here. You said you want to recruit me. I'm joining."
"You really don't have to. This life is not easy. And it's dangerous."
"I know." I gave him a serious look. "I want to join."
Daigo looked confused at me. "I... don't understand."
I took a deep breath. "You know. I came to Kamurocho to begin a new life. In my homeland my family was very wealthy. I had a older brother and an younger sister."
"Had?"
"Yes. Had. I was a brat who always got what she wanted. I was an awful person. Even my family hated me. I was mean to everyone just because I didn't liked their face. It was normal for me."
I looked at the floor and continued: "One night, I was out with friends and got super drunk. My family was at home and they celebrated the 18th birthday of my sister. It was awful that I didn't wanted to celebrate with them. But this exact behaviour led to me surviving. The House had some kind of gas leak. And as soon they wanted to lit the candles... the house exploded... And my whole family died this night."
Daigo stepped closer. "I'm so sorry." He laid a hand on my shoulder
"The story is not over yet. I got all the money from my parents and all the insurance money for the house and of course my whole family. I hated this money. I could buy absolute everything in this world. But nothing could bring back my family. I tried to drink my pain away. My friends didn't want to hang out with me anymore, because of rumours telling everyone I killed them all to get the money."
Water was slowly filling my eyes. "This was the moment I decided I need to get out here. I took all the money and learned Japanese and paid my way into a citizenship for Japan. And with the remaining money I brought that one apartment."
Daigos still looking sad at me. "Why are you telling me this May?"
"Because being here and joining the Tojo Clan feels right. I had nothing left in this world and still I met you, Akiyama-san and Hana-chan. It's like I got a second chance. Finally being more than just a rich brat. Please Daigo. Let me join." I looked him deep in his eyes and I felt how tears were falling down my cheeks.
Daigo looked at me and wiped one of my tears with his hand away. "Don't cry May. It seems like I can't stop you now, can I?"
I laughed still crying: "No way. Besides, I need to repay my debt to you."
Daigo slowly shook his head. "Well alright then. Let's swear this Oath."
As we were staring at each other someone knocked on the door. "Yes, what is it?"
One of the guards came in and said: "Majima-san is here now."
"Alright. He can come in"
The man leaves the room and closed the door again.
"Finally he shows up. He was supposed to be here before you, because I wanted to have him as our witness for joining the Tojo."
"Sounds like a lovely human being.", I responded.
"Well, you should probably be careful in his presence. He is not called "Mad dog of Shimano" with no reason."
I got shivers. "This sounds very dangerous. And he will be our witness?"
"No worries. He might be crazy, but for whatever reason he's very loyal to me. I would trust him with my life everytime."
After Daigo said that the door opens and a Guy with an eyepatch, undercut hairstyle, snake skin pattern jacket, leather pants and black shoes with some kind of metal on the tips walks in.
"Why yer calling me at this time? Couldn't it wait 'till tomorrow?", said the man I assumed was Majima.
"Hello, Majima-san. I would like to introduce you the Kitsune of Kamurocho. She's here to join the Tojo and I need you to be the witness for the oath."
Majima looked me up and down and analysed me. I felt a little nervous. I bowed before him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Majima-san", I said and gave him a smile. He looked a little shocked.
"What's with that smile?", he almost sounded angry. "Yer can't throw this at anybody and think you can charm them. Some could think yer trying to mock them."
I switched my warm smile to a mocking smile. He kinda pissed me off to be honest. "Oh if I want to mock someone they just know", I responded.
Majima started laughing manically. "I like her! She got some serious balls!"
Daigo let out a big sigh. "I'm glad." He turned to me. "I would have let you join no matter what Majima-san would have said. But it makes things a little more easy that he likes you."
"HUH? She still needs to prove herself to me. So let's go." Majima-san was pointing outside.
What the fuck? Was he serious? He wanted to fight me? I looked at Daigo and he looked at me. "I'm sorry but would you please fight with him?"
"Why the fuck are ya so fucking nice to her huh? You wanna fuck her or somethin'?", Majima responded with anger.
Daigo kept his cool and said: "Last time I checked I was the chairmen. I can be nice to whoever I want. But as soon she joined, things will be different."
"Tsk, fine. Whatever ya want. Let's fight now."
We went outside in the garden. It was really beautiful here. Majima and I stood 5 meters apart.
"'Cause this nothing more than a test I'm gonna fight ya without a weapon."
How fucking generous of him. I was afraid of him to be honest. But I already decided to join the Tojo. And I didn't want to disappoint Daigo.
The fight started with us running towards each other. He tried to roundhouse kick me but I managed to dodge. He was fast. And it really wasn't easy to figure out his next moves.
The first few minutes I was just dodging his attacks and it was very exhausting. But then I finally got the chance to use his blind spot to punch him in the face. He jumped back and was holding his face where I just punched him. "Interesting. But this will not work a second time!" Then he attacked me again but this time he was faster.
I barely managed to not get hit. I kinda panicked. But I had to do something. I tried to think while still dodging his attacks. I never had someone this fast and strong as an opponent. So I never needed to do risky moves. But I got no other choice. So I let myself fall on my back. Majima was about to kick me but I moved my body so I would catch his leg with mine and managed to bring him to fall. Now that he laid on his belly, I grabbed his leg and sat on him. I bend his leg so that it would hurt him. He screamed and managed to push me off him.
I used more and more risky moves. I got some kicks and punches from him and he got some from me as well. I had the time of my life at this moment. I felt alive how I never felt before.
After a while he managed to bring me down. I laid on my belly now and he approached me. "Are you already at the end? I just had so much fun." But as soon as he was close enough I did the special move I did on Akiyama when I was fighting him. Standing on my hands bending backwards clinched on him with my legs and using force on pushing him down and ready to punch his face. But right before I punched him, Daigo screamed: "That's enough!" So I stopped and get up. I offered Majima a hand but he refused and got up by himself. "This fight was very pleasant, Kitsune. Maybe next time I will be fighting you with all my power." He checked me from head to toe. "I can see why the sixth chairman likes you so much. He has to get a move fast on you. Or I will do it." he gave me a smirk and walked away.
Did he just...flirted with me? This fight was really intense but at the same time I was excited for fighting him again some day.
After that fight we moved back to the office and I was swearing my oath.
What a day.
