Get of Fenris
Part Eight: Hengeyokai and the Yakuza





They were in for a surprise when they stepped into the courtyard of Albrecht. The two Kitsune were there, along with a very attractive young man with golden hair and golden eyes. They turned their attention to the newcomers, a displeasing look on the Garou King's face. "Come here."

"Who are these men, sire?"

"THEY are Hengeyokai, our Eastern cousins." The king began in a harsh voice. "For three years, they had a secure spot in the hospital, digging and rooting for information on Pentex's next moves and they were very sucessful until last night when YOU decided to track them down and brought the two Kitsune spies into a big cloud of suspicion. The hospital was the manufacturer of Spark and after your stunt, they might move their operations elsewhere and it'll take another three years to find, maybe more!!"

"W-w-we're sorry, sire!! W-we didn't know!!"

"Get out of my sight, both of you!!!!"

Yugo and Fang hightailed it out of there and stopped shortly before the gate, that's when Fang lost it and began weeping. "What's wrong, Fang??"

"I fucked up!!!" Fang shouted, slamming his fist in the post. "You heard what the King said!! If we didn't play detective, the Kitsune... all of the Hengeyokai would have stopped the Spark trade head-on!!"

"D-don't say that!"

Turning toward the path to Wolf Mountain, they spotted the three men walking toward them. Fang stepped in front of Yugo to confront them, but Tanaka, Kenshirou and the teenager walked passed, scoffing at them both. They didn't even turn around when Tanaka gave Fang the heartbreaking news. "Enjoy Rank 2 once again, Disgrace." They got into the Yakuza Stinger and drove off at top speeds. (Author's Note: Grand Theft Auto 3 reference)

Fang's eyes widened, he had that look of pure terror in his eyes. Yugo picked up a couple of rocks and threw them at the Stinger. "ASSHOLES!!!!!" Yugo shouted.

"This is all YOUR FAULT!!!" Fang shouted at Yugo from behind.

"!!!!!!" Jolting around, he saw Fang was in Glabro from and about to Rage.

"If it wasn't for your obsession with a rabbit hussy, I wouldn't be here at Rank 2, sour in the King's eyes and facing possible ostracizing rituals!!!"

"...Fang!?"

"And to think for one second that I was in love with you and was hopeful it would possibly work!!" Fang turned into his wolf form and ran off into the night.

"FANG!!!!" Yugo fell to his knees and sighed.


Yugo drove to the WOC building on his motorcycle, feeling very bad for what had happened. He closed his eyes and opened them, running a red light. That's when he noticed two Kawasaki Ninjas on his tail, catching up at great speeds. Yugo looked at the both of them and it dawned on them who they were.

//YAKUZA!!!!//

The wolf-zoanthrope also noticed that the Yakuza hitment had glyphs on their uniforms, shifter glyphs.

//And they're HENGEYOKAI to fucking boot!!!//

With their uzis, they signaled for Yugo to pull over into the alley. Not going to argue, the zoanthrope did, only to find a Yakuza Stinger blocking the other side and two more with semi-automatic rifles. The motorcycles pulled up and the two hitmen got off.

"We got a message from our master, Mr. Kodachi-san." They said, then lights out for Yugo. When the Yakuza hitmen finished beating him with their fists and feet, the Stinger started and ran Yugo over as it peeled off into the night time streets.

"Are you okay?"

Yugo opened his swollen eyes to see Basara hovering over him. He looked around, only to be joined by another person, a very familiar shape.

"Splinter-in-the-Mind's-Eyes."

"What happened?"

"I was attacked... by the Yakuza." Yugo tried to sit up but Basara stopped him.

"The Yakuza? What would they gain by attacking you?" Brad asked, curious.

"Well, there's these two Kitsune... they were doing mole work in the hospital Alice worked in. Well, me and Fang kinda screwed it up by wanting to ask the double-agent doctor some questions about his involvement with Spark..."

"...I can't help you." Brad walked for the darkness of the alley.

"W-why not!? They almost KILLED me just now!!"

"If I saved your life, I would be marked a traitor in the Hengeyokai and the Yakuza's eyes."

"...you are in league with the Yakuza!?"

"..... come, Basara."

"But, Brad..." Basara tried to protest but he found it to be futile. He set his medical kit by Yugo and walked to Brad's side.

"As of today, Ohgami... you don't know me and I don't know you." The two shifters walked into the shadows and vanished from view.

"Wait!!"


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


"Here you go... 5 million yen." Brad set the suitcase down on the table. "This is good for one more year of city-wide protection."

Tanaka looked at the Yen in the suitcase and came to the conclusion. "I'll make a deal with you, Crawford-san. Me and my men enjoy playing Enforcers in your city. Gives us a sense of importance and we like to thank you for that. We'll take 2.5 million yen instead of the full 5."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Tanaka smiled, and held out his hand to Brad.

"There is a bit of a new warning I must give you." Brad began slowly, before shaking Tanaka's hand. "Do not go near the WOC neighborhood."

"Is there any reason why?"

"The president of the WOC is Ohgami Yugo, the man you just assaulted in the alley not too long ago. He'll want your blood after that."

"The stupid mutt don't scare me." Tanaka frowned, then nodded. "Alright, we'll stay away... for the time being."

"But... if Yugo screws your Hengeyokai and Yakuza operations up again... kill him. You don't even need my permission to do so." Brad turned toward the shadows and entered them, vanishing from view.

"With the utmost pleasure." Tanaka grinned and folded his arms.
