Chapter 9: Winter Break Troubles
"So you by yourself Dark Shadow? Where is your second?" Kanna questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey, it's winter break. I couldn't take that away from him," Kumiko responded with a shrug. "So shall we be going then Red Dragon? This is your hometown and I want to leave this airport."
"Yeah sure. Let's go then," Kanna said dismissively and gestured for the trio to follow. They walked out of the airport and into the parking lot. They stopped at a red 4Runner and put their things in the back. Kanna took the wheel while Kumiko took passenger seat and Shogo and Liika took the back seats.
"So you were gonna tell us about the Night Raiders and Blue Pyros," Kumiko reminded the Chinese girl.
"The dumb fucks. They delayed their flight at the last minute. Something about their own business or some shit. They said they'll be here late tomorrow," Kanna replied with obvious anger.
"Aren't they informant?" Liika asked sarcastically. "I don't know why they're with this alliance anyway. They're the weakest ones out of the five of us. I say kick them out."
"I won't argue that they are the weakest ones but you gotta remember that they are good. Besides, if we just let them go then the Radicals would probably ally themselves with them," Kumiko reasoned.
"I guess so," Kanna said with a small pout. Not too long later they arrived at the large manor and got out the vehicle. Butlers then took their luggage to their rooms and Kanna led the way toward the living area where a young man sat.
"Ryuhei Zhou-shin of the Red Dragons," Kumiko greeted formally with an amused grin. The said young man stood at hearing his name and greeted the group.
"Kumiko Haraguchi of the Dark Shadows. Shogo Kawada and Liika Low of Black Chaos. Welcome to Hong Kong," Ryuhei greeted with a smile. He gestured for them to take a seat and they complied. "Hope you all had a pleasant flight." He gestured toward a maid to get some tea and refreshments.
"So when shall this meeting begin?" Shogo questioned as he sat back, getting comfortable.
"Relax. We can't start until the others are here and that's not until late tomorrow. Besides we have plenty of time," Kanna responded with a shrug.
"That's true. No need to rush. Although I do need to leave at the end of the week," Kumiko commented with a half smile.
"Still doing those business meetings for Shadow eh?" Liika replied with a raised eyebrow and slight amusement showing on her face. Kumiko just nodded in response and everyone shook their heads in sympathy.
"Well why don't we catch up while we can before those Night Raiders and Blue Pyros come. Try to enjoy the peace while we have it," Ryuhei suggested, everyone understanding what he meant. None of them particularly liked the female Blue Pyro that always accompanied her leader to these meetings. It would be twice as bad since her so-called lover, a.k.a. Tala Valkyrie, wasn't here.
"Maybe I should have brought Valkyrie with me," Kumiko said exasperatedly. Everyone chuckled lightly at the comment. "So what are we gonna do?"
"How about for the rest of the night we just talk and then tomorrow we decide what to do for the day," Kanna suggested. No one disagreed and just started reminiscing about the past.

"So now that we're here, mind explaining everything?" Kimiko questioned impatiently as the large group settled in the den of the Haraguchi mansion.
"First off, Kai that is Kimiko Kiriyama, a fellow Dark Shadow and the master at making disguises," Tala introduced. The said girl stood up and gave a sweeping bow. "Kimiko, that's Kai Hiwatari, the newest member.
"Now that that's over with, where did Miko-chan go?" Tyson asked impatiently.
"She had to go to meetings. Right now she's making her way to Hong Kong to have the Alliance meeting with Black Chaos, Red Dragons, Night Raiders, and Blue Pyros. Then she has business meetings in Russia for her father," Tala explained briefly. Everyone except Kai understood what was going on and relaxed. Kai however was still confused but Tala gave him a look that said he would explain later. Everyone stayed until they decided to head home. Kane, Salima, Ozuma, and Mariam went to their rooms and Kimiko was about to follow them when Tala called her and Kai back.
"What is it?" Kimiko asked with a confused expression.
"I wanted to clear something up," Tala said and produced the envelope full of pictures from his jacket. He handed them to Kimiko who had a questioning glance and looked through them. Kai narrowed his eyes and was about to leave when Kimiko gasped.
"Why do you have these pictures of me and Kawada?" Kimiko questioned as she kept shifting through the photos. Kai turned his attention to his ex-girlfriend look alike and the photos.
"I thought that was you," Tala said confirming his suspicions. He had thought it was some girl posing as Kumiko at first but then remembered that the Black Chaos leader wouldn't allow anyone in his house. He then thought of the next possible person and that person just confirmed it.
"What do you mean that's you? That's Haraguchi," Kai said, obviously confused about the whole thing.
"Iie, that's me. Everyone says that Miko-chan and I look exactly alike with our backs turned. Even our tattoos look alike but mine isn't a phoenix, it's a heron and looks a lot like her phoenix," Kimiko explained. "I often have to pose as her for various reasons. I'm claimed as her older sister since I am older than her and we look so much alike."
"Demo..." Kai began but didn't continue. He felt really guilty right then. He broke up with Kumiko because of a small misunderstanding. He felt like a fool for jumping to conclusions and felt even worse that he doubted her trust. "I'm such a baka," Kai said with a sigh.
"I won't argue with you there. Miko-chan is the only person you can absolutely trust, and she keeps her promises even if it means her life," Tala said seriously. He then let out a sigh and his shoulders slumped down. "Well, it's all in the past and you can't change what happened. But you can try your luck and get her back."
"Yeah don't worry Hiwatari-kun. I'm sure she still cares about you," Kimiko assured giving his shoulder a pat.
"Arigato," Kai said with a hopeful smile.

"Good morning Haraguchi," Ryuhei greeted the said girl as she entered the kitchen early that morning. He had been fixing himself a cup of coffee when she entered. "I think you're the only girl I know who would wake up so early."
"Well Zhou-shin, I'm not like most girls," Kumiko responded to his remark. She began to make a cup of tea with what there was available. "And you can call me Kumiko. It's not like I'm gonna kill you if you do."
"I doubt it but I'll only do it if you do it," Ryuhei joked with a smile. Kumiko returned it and went back to making her tea as Shogo entered the kitchen and helped himself to a cup of coffee.
"Early bird as always," Shogo said to the younger girl. Kumiko just smiled and sat down next to Ryuhei at the counter near the kitchen. Shogo soon joined them and they sat quietly, drinking their drinks and enjoying the quiet morning. Soon a butler entered the kitchen and handed Ryuhei the morning paper. He took it gratefully and began to read it.
"Anything of interest?" Kumiko asked, peering at the paper in his hands.
"The police had a run-in with a minor local gang. Not much else," Ryuhei replied while scanning through the paper. They sat in silence once again with the occasional turn of a page from Ryuhei. A few moments later Liika who also took a cup of coffee and sat next to Kumiko soon joined them.
"I don't see how you cannot have the need for caffeine in the morning," Liika remarked, looking at Kumiko's cup of tea.
"It's not like I never need coffee to get me going. It's just that I don't think I'll be needing it this morning," Kumiko replied and took a sip of her tea.
"I'm sorry for the intrusion Master Zhou-shin but there is a phone call for you," a butler said while holding the phone toward his master. Ryuhei took the phone and greeted the person on the other line.
"Who is it?" Liika questioned when she saw annoyance and anger show on his face. Ryuhei mouthed 'Blue Pyro' to the group and got everyone's attention.
"What do you mean you won't be here today? When will you be here then?" Ryuhei questioned with a scowl on his face. When he heard the answer he exploded. "What?! What do you mean in two days?!" He didn't get to hear an answer because Kumiko snatched the phone from him.
"Haraguchi from Dark Shadows here. What in fucking hells is so important that you aren't here?" Kumiko questioned angrily in an icy tone. When she heard the answer, her anger peaked. "I don't give a fucking damn if you are having surgery for a heart transplant. Blue Pyro, and I know Night Raider is there too, you better get your sorry asses here now or else you'll pay with your life that I will personally see to." With that she hung up the phone and tossed it back to the Red Dragon leader. The trio looked at her with slight surprise. They didn't think she could blow up like that so fast and so early in the morning but she proved them wrong. She was the youngest out of all of them but she was the most skilled and deadly and wouldn't hold back on promises of death.
"I look forward to that promise being carried out," a voice said with amusement laced in their tone. Everyone turned to see Kanna at the doorway with an amused expression on her face. She entered the room and quickly made herself some coffee. "So what was the reason for his delay?"
"He said that he had to take care of some local gang trying to get his territory. And he had the Night Raider's help. Could he be anymore useless," Kumiko answered exasperated, cradling her head in her hands. Everyone else just rolled their eyes in annoyance.
"So did he get scared when you talked to him?" Kanna asked with a grin.
"You don't know how much," Kumiko responded with a smirk. "He tried to cover it up but couldn't hide it from me. He should've known that by now." Everyone chuckled when she said that and calmed down soon after. "So what's the plan? They won't be here anytime soon even if I threatened their lives. They always find a way to make some dumb excuse."
"Girls? Shopping?" Kanna asked with a hopeful gleam. Kumiko and Liika glanced at each other with skeptical looks, not sure if they should agree or not. They chanced a glance at Kanna and soon regretted it when they saw big round puppy dog eyes. They gave a sigh and relented, knowing it would be one hell of a day. Kanna cheered and clapped her hands together.
"Ryuhei, we better run for it before they drag us along," Shogo said with a nervous glint in his eyes. Ryuhei nodded and both men quickly made their way out the door and into the sanctuary of Ryuhei's office. They decided they would be safe until the girls left.
The three girls went off, going from shop to shop, and picking things up from time to time. Kanna had purchased the most out of the three and was still going. They finally decided to break for lunch and do some 'girl talk.'
"So Kumiko, found anyone yet?" Kanna asked with an anxious look. The look turned to questioning when she saw Kumiko frown a bit. "What happened?"
"I did find someone but dumped me a few days ago because he thought I was cheating on him. It was actually Kimiko posing as me with Shogo in pictures that he got from who knows where," Kumiko explained scornfully. Kanna and Liika shared a worried glance and looked back at Kumiko when she sighed. "Oh well, it was...wonderful while it lasted. He treated me so...great. As if we were meant to be together."
"You still love him don't you?" Liika asked knowingly.
"Yeah I do," Kumiko replied wistfully. She shook her head to try to rid herself of the painful memories and focused on the two girls in front of her. "Come on. I still have to find Christmas presents for you two and the guys." She stood up and was followed by the two girls and they went off once again to the shops, looking for presents and such.

Days went by and soon Christmas Eve arrived and the Haraguchi mansion was bustling with activity. The large group was currently in the den getting ready to exchange gifts. Kimiko along with the Hiwatari family were there as well but didn't get themselves involved with the group's Secret Santa game.
"Alright, so who's going first?" Mariah asked looking over the group.
"Newest member first!" Kimiko yelled out to the group. Everyone looked at each other and agreed. Then they turned their eyes toward Kai and waited. He sighed and stood up with his gift in his hands. He looked over the group and gave a small smile.
"I'm gonna regret giving this to him but--" Kai began and walked over to Tyson and handed his gift over. Tyson had a surprised but anxious look on his face as he opened up a small yellow envelope with a bow on it. He took out the contents and his face glowed.
"Arigato Kai!" Tyson exclaimed to the taller boy. Everyone gave Tyson curious glances. "He got me free all you can eat certificates to all of my favorite places."
"Which is practically everywhere," Ian commented which got everyone chuckling.
"Alright. Now I got our charismatic co-leader," Tyson proclaimed and handed the lanky red head a small box. Tala received his gift with a questioning look and opened it. He pulled out a pair of black leather gloves that had a small embroidery of a silver white moon with a silhouette of a wolf's head. Tala nodded his head in appreciation and Tyson returned it. It went on through the whole group, sharing a laugh when Ian lost his patience at opening a numerous amount of boxes from Kenny. Finally it came down to Hotaru who had her for Kai.
"And I have the new guy. And this gift is more from Miko-chan, Tala-kun, and me," Hotaru said with a smile and handed him a palm sized box. Kai took it with a curious look in his eyes and opened it. His eyes widened in surprise and pulled out a set of keys. Car keys to be exact. "We got you a real Dark Shadow car."
"Arigato," Kai said with appreciation showing in his eyes. Hotaru smiled and nodded, returning to her seat next to Tala.
"Okay, now that that's done, we can open our gifts from Miko-chan," Mariam declared with a bright smile. She along with Salima and Hotaru passed out the same sized boxes to all the group members. Then they passed a fairly large box to Kari who glowed in excitement and to the Hiwatari's a gift that looked like a painting. Everyone opened up their presents and gasped in surprise.
"Sweet!" Tyson exclaimed, everyone else agreeing to his statement. In each of the Dark Shadows' box was a specially made gun. On the handle was their tattoo on both sides. Each gun was beautifully crafted and seemed to depict their own character too. They shot their heads toward Kari who squealed in happiness. She pulled out a baby like blanket that had baby blue and lavender hues. On the right upper corner was a large crescent moon that seemed to have and ethereal glow to it. What seemed to stand out the most was the elegant white phoenix that seemed to be flying through the clouds. She then pulled out a pair of matching pajamas and a crescent moon pillow.
"That is so kawaii! I wish I got something like that," Mariah said with a playful pout.
"I think you're a bit too big for that Mariah. How about you Hiwatari-san? What did you receive?" Salima asked, curious about the gift.
"It is an absolutely beautiful piece of art," Yume said showing them the painting. It was a large painting of a blazing red phoenix in flight facing the left side. The most interesting part was the shadow of the phoenix in the background that was facing the opposite way. On the bottom right corner they saw Kumiko's neat signature in kanji characters.
"We're gonna have to find the perfect place for this fabulous work of art," Sho commented, admiring the painting.
"Miko-chan out did herself this year. We should do something for her in return," Kimiko said, getting nods of agreement from everyone.

"So they are finally gonna appear, three days after the intended date. If I had known, which I should have, we should have started without them," Kumiko said, annoyance in her eyes. She along with the two Red Dragons and Black Chaos were waiting for the arrival of the last two groups. They didn't have to wait long when they heard the front door open and the loud chatter of the annoying female with them. They walked into the occupied room and talk instantly ceased as they saw the deadly glares from the occupants.
"Kisho Kamio and Takeo Nakata of the Night Raiders," a brunette guy greeted first. The guy next to him nodded his head in greeting.
"Daisuke Serizawa, Akira Ichigawa, and Haruko Araki of the Blue Pyros," a dark green haired guy greeted. A dull pink haired girl and an orange-red haired guy stood on either side. The original occupants didn't do or say anything in greeting in return. A few awkward moments passed before Kumiko stood up and began to leave the room and head toward the meeting room. The other sitting occupants and the new arrivals soon followed her. Kumiko took her place at the head of the table while the others took the other seats. Ryuhei sat at her right, then Kanna, Akira and Liika. Shogo sat at the other end with Daisuke at his right, then Haruko, Takeo and then Kisho.
"Well aren't they rude, not introducing themselves," Haruko mumbled to her leader Daisuke. Despite her efforts, her annoyingly high-pitched voice was heard throughout the room. Daisuke just smiled at her pouting face, then glanced around and saw that everyone else was not amused.
"If it will get you to shut up Araki, Haraguchi of the Dark Shadows," Kumiko said in an obvious annoyed tone. Ryuhei, Kanna, Liika, and Shogo tried to hide their amused expressions. The two red Dragons and Black Chaos members didn't bother to introduce themselves, thinking that the newly arrived group didn't deserve a greeting and because everyone already knew each other. Kumiko turned her heated glare off the Blue Pyro female and glanced around toward the others occupants of the room. "Now if all of you are ready, let's begin."
"Zhou-shin, you're the one who called this meeting. What is it you needed to discuss?" Shogo questioned looking at the Red Dragon leader.
"Well, for the past few weeks I've been getting reports and complaints about these Radicals that I'm sure Haraguchi has heard of," Ryuhei began and looked toward the said girl. Kumiko narrowed her eyes at the name. "Many of the groups here have been running into them and there are some that their territory has been taken. I have never encountered them myself but some on my men have and outcomes have varied," Ryuhei finished looking over the group.
"I too have had a few run-ins with these Radicals. They seem to be increasing in size with every encounter," Shogo added in.
"So what's the big deal? They're just like any other gang around here. So what's the difference between us and them?" Daisuke questioned with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Don't assume anything without all the facts Serizawa," Kumiko replied in an ice-cold tone.
"So enlighten us and tell up your experience with these Radicals that everyone seems to be worried about," Daisuke countered and sat back with a smug expression.
"You want to know? Fine I'll tell you," Kumiko said, standing up from her seat and looked out of the large window behind her. She hesitated for a moment before she began. "These Radicals are not just any gang like us. They are not just taking territories around here and Japan. I have received reports from my many members in various parts of the world. All of them have seen Radicals and have encountered them many times. My members on the inside have seen what these Radicals have done. They don't just take territories and such, they kill for the thrill. They involve innocent lives which we agreed to restrict when getting involved in a gang war," Kumiko explained briefly not looking at them the whole time.
"So why should we care about them? We've got to admit that more than one innocent life has been taken during encounters," Kisho commented reasonably.
"I don't care whether you care or not," Kumiko stated while turning around to look at the group. "I'll handle the Radicals myself if I have to. In fact, I shouldn't even involve all of you in Dark Shadow business."
"Why do you day that? There's no doubt Black Chaos will help with this matter," Shogo inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Because Radical leader Kadin was a Dark Shadow," Kumiko revealed and bowed her head almost shamefully. "Two or three years ago he rebelled against my father and claimed that he would form his own gang that would rival ours. So far he has outnumbered us but outsmarted is another story."
"Why didn't you just kill him when you had the chance?" Haruko asked in an annoyed tone.
"My father thought nothing of it at the time and as for myself, I wasn't about to go against his orders," Kumiko explained with a raised eyebrow.
"Sounds like an excuse to me. What about the others? Why didn't they finish him off?" Haruko questioned in an almost taunting voice.
"They didn't like my father's decision but didn't go against it," Kumiko responded with narrowed eyes.
"If it were me, I still would have done it," Haruko said in a huff. Before she knew it, she had a gun pointed at her. Kumiko stood between Akira and Liika and pulled out her gun from its holster, pointing it at the pink haired girl. Haruko was surprised and Kumiko noted the fear in her eyes.
"You look just as Valkyrie did when my father pulled a gun on him. Would you defy, now that a gun was pointed at you?" Kumiko questioned monotonously with an icy glare.
"No," Haruko answered in a hushed voice.
"You say that now, yet earlier you stated you would have defied anyway," Kumiko reasoned, not wavering on her hold. "I would advise you to be quiet on unnecessary comments. I still see no reason for you to be here when Serizawa's second is sitting right here next to me." With that, Kumiko lowered her gun and placed it back in its holster underneath her jacket.
"So what are we gonna do?" Ryuhei asked, curiously glancing at the group.
Kumiko was about to answer when her cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that Tala was calling her. "Moshi moshi Kumiko here," Kumiko answered while taking her place back by the window.
((Miko-chan? Did I get you at a bad time?)) Tala asked noting the seriousness in her tone when she answered.
"Doesn't matter. Is something wrong?" Kumiko inquired hearing some kind of commotion in the background.
((Run-in with Radicals. They got us unsuspected. We got out but not without injuries.)) Tala explained simply.
"Report," Kumiko ordered ignoring the looks the others were giving her.
((We were able to stop them and get away. Injuries on innocents were few but not sure about gunshot wounds. Injuries on us are quite a few. There were seven of us, Ozuma, Mariam, Hotaru, Ian, Tyson, Kai, and myself. Those that were shot were Mariam on the arm, Ozuma and...Kai on the shoulder.)) Tala informed, a bit hesitant when mentioning Kai's name on the list. Kumiko nearly dropped her phone at hearing Kai's name. She fixed herself quickly so as not to get the others questioning.
"Alright then. You know what to do. I'll call back to receive full details. Until then," Kumiko concluded and closed her phone after hearing Tala's farewell. She turned toward the others and noticed the curious glances that everyone gave her. "Some of my members were just attacked by the Radicals," Kumiko informed answering their silent question.
"Perhaps we will continue this meeting tomorrow. Haraguchi obviously needs to get back with her group and get full insight on what happened," Shogo suggested to the group. Everyone agreed and left the room, each to do their own business.
mnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnm
"What did she say?" Hotaru asked when she saw Tala hang up the phone. Tala sighed and slumped into a chair while the others waited to hear what he had to say.
"She was most likely in a meeting because she said she would call me back," Tala said tiredly. Just then the phone rang and Tyson hurriedly brought the phone over so they could hear on speakerphone. Tala answered by pushing a button. "Moshi moshi Tala speaking."
((Konnichiwa Tala-kun and everyone else.)) Kumiko replied with a knowing voice. Everyone just smiled and settled down into their seats. ((So who's all there?))
"Everyone that was involved plus Kane, Salima, and Kimiko," Tala answered.
((Kimi-chan is still there?)) Kumiko asked unbelievingly.
"Of course I'm still here. You were suppose to come talk to me after the dance but then you just up and left us," Kimiko said angrily but her expression was teasing.
((You know you love me.)) Kumiko said in a playful tone. Kimiko scoffed at the statement but smiled anyway and sat back. ((So tell me what happened.)) Tala and the others spent some time telling what happened. The whole time Kai was silent, not knowing if it wise to talk to her so soon. A few minutes later they finished telling the story and were waiting for Kumiko to say something. ((So everyone's okay. That's good. I was at the Alliance meeting but they decided to take a break because of your call. By the way Tala-kun, Araki is here. She has yet to ask for you.)) Kumiko informed in a teasing tone.
"Oh kami. I'm glad I didn't go," Tala groaned, the group except Kai laughing.
((Hiwatari-kun, I'm sure your wondering who Araki is. Well, she's this girl from Blue Pyros that claims that Tala is hers and that one-day they will get married. She doesn't like me much but the feeling's mutual.)) Kumiko informed with an amused tone. Kai was surprised that she actually talked to him but covered it up when he gave Tala a smirk. ((I must be going. Hope you all liked your presents from and I'll see you guys when I get back. Until then sayonara.))
"Arigato Miko-chan and sayonara," Tala said and soon heard the dial tone to indicate that she hung up. Tala soon followed and everyone just sat in silence. The red head then glanced at Kai who had a thoughtful expression on his face. "Well Kai, seems that there's still hope for you," Tala teased lightly. Kai jerked his head up and looked at Tala with a raised eyebrow.
"Why do you say that?" Kai questioned not helping the skepticism in his voice.
"I just know. I know her better than anyone, even her own father and that's saying something," Tala said with a positive tone. Kai didn't say anything back and went back to his thoughts.

"So what do you propose we do about these Radicals?" Kisho asked to the Dark Shadow girl.
"With all of the reports I've received from my members in the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and Japan, it is obvious they are forming large groups in these locations. We will have to stop them all at the once at the same time," Kumiko explained to the group.
"So you want each of us to take a location and get them before something happens?" Shogo questioned making sure to clarify her intentions.
"Sounds like they're trying to take over the world or something," Daisuke joked lightly, but dropped it when he saw the seriousness in Kumiko's eyes.
"It's only if you wish to help. I'm not forcing anyone into this, but yes that is what I'm suggesting," Kumiko answered to the earlier question.
"Are you kidding? The Red Dragons are definitely in," Ryuhei proclaimed, an excited expression on his face that Kanna matched.
"As is Black Chaos," Shogo declared with a devious smile on his face that Liika matched.
"Blue Pyros are in. Haven't had anything worth troubling over in a while," Daisuke replied with an arrogant smirk.
"Oh? Then what happened a few days ago?" Kanna questioned with curious wondering eyes.
"Ah, well..." Daisuke began, slightly embarrassed. He decided to keep his mouth shut when he couldn't come up with an answer.
"You will have the support of the Night Raiders as well," Kisho proclaimed with a smile.
"I thank all of you and in return you shall have the Dark Shadows' support when you need it," Kumiko promised, gratitude shining in her eyes. "Now to decide who will go where. Japan is mine. That's where Kadin is."
"Of course China is ours. We live here," Ryuhei claimed.
"We'll take Europe," Shogo claimed.
"Night Raiders are taking the US," Kisho said.
"And that leaves Russia to us," Daisuke said somewhat dejectedly.
"We'll need time to plan this. Gather what you need without raising suspicion. I'll personally go to each location and inform my members of what's to happen and expect your groups and assist them. We'll keep close contact with each other over the next few weeks to see how progress is in gathering materials, then we'll set a date to take them down all at once," Kumiko explained. Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. "We'll make them wish they didn't even exist."

Well that's it...hoped you liked it. Please review and see you after the holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
