Chapter 3-Breaking the News

A few blocks down, Ghoon-Hahn and his gang were skipping class-again. They lounged in the café, ignoring the fact that Yeon-Joon and Jin were attracting many stares from people who were apparently "disturbed" by their behavior. Ghoon-Hahn lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, thinking about the newest member of the Yi-Won: Jung-Woo. Sure, he could kick ass, but would he get in the way of Ghoon-Hahn and Que-Min?

Jin and Yeon-Joon were arguing about something sounding for the entire world like a squabbling couple. By leaning forward, he could catch some of the words.

"…you tell him, you're bigger…"

"…no, but…told you to tell him…"

"How do you know…wasn't telling you to…"

"…looked in your direction…"

"…still, I don't want to tell him…"

"Tell me what?" Jin and Yeon-Joon jumped and turned toward their boss. Both gulped. Finally, Jin spoke up.

"Er, boss, do you know a chick called Chun-Ji?"

Ghoon-Hahn searched his brain. The name sounded vaguely familiar…

"She's got black hair and black eyes and she's tall."

Something clicked. Chun-Ji…yeah, he had definitely seen her before. He had fought her before actually, over some territory in the east side of town. Third year in junior high, she had kicked ass back then. But he had won, though both had severe injuries. Yeah, he remembered her…

"Yeah, yeah-what about her?"

"Well, she told us to told you to stay off the Pure Water High neighborhood."

"Why? The little bitch didn't beat us in a fight, she's got no right to the claim."

Sheepishly, Yeon-Joon admitted that, "Actually boss, she did."

"WHAT!!" The café became deathly silent; Ghoon-Hahn grabbed both Jin and Yeon-Joon by the colars and pulled them both toward him across the table. His nose nearly touching theirs, he hissed under his breath. "What…do…you…mean…she…beat…you?"

Jin struggled for breath and tried without success to break free of Ghoon-Hahn's grip. "Hey-hey, listen boss, she didn't beat us, she beat some of Kai's gang who were beating us. She knows Kai too, apparently. Er, she said that you had to respect territory lines…"

"Cut the crap. If that slug is back, it means we've got double the amount of work in store for us. She's fast at taking territory."

"How do you know boss?"

Ghoon-Hahn released their collars and both collapsed on their chairs gasping for air. Red and Dar Jay looked expectantly at their boss. "Well?"

"You guys wouldn't know her; I fought her before the Yi-Won was formed. She used to hold a lot of territory in my third year of junior high, as much as I did. So I fought her for it. I won, barely, and both of us had to go to the hospital. She gave me broken legs that bitch. The next year, she moved to Japan so all the territory was up for the taking."

"Hmm, sounds like you guys are rivals."

"Shut your trap. We're going to have to take her down soon, before she gets cocky. Get ready for a shit-storm."


On the other side of town, Kai "the Blade" was being told the same thing, but unlike Ghoon-Hahn, he treated it like a joke.

"Ha! So she's back is she? And she can still kick ass like any boy can!"

The thugs that Chun-Ji had beaten nodded their heads and grimaced in pain. Two of them had broken ribs and one had a broken nose. "She said to keep of the Pure Water territory."

"Pssh, it's just like her; barely a week back and she's already gaining territory."

Like the Yi-Won, Kai's gang was also curious. "You know her boss?"

"I know her, I fought her in Japan a couple of times, didn't think I'd meet up with her here. She beat seven members of my Black Dragon yakuza single handed and she only had a sprained wrist. She's a demon; we've had our fair share of fights."

He laughed and looked at his arm where a three inch long scar raked across the surface.

"Damn, you know what they called her?"

"What boss?"

Kai leaned on the wall with one hand and sneered.

"They called her Dragondeath."
