Comments are appreciated, and remember that I love you!

The moment her eyes shot open, she tried to sit up but the doctors around her pushed her back to the bed. She struggled against the strength of the doctors, and her heart rate was getting quicker and she was shot by an injection to make her calm down. She breathed heavily as her eyes traveled around the room. A gas mask still covering her mouth. Tears began forming in her eyes and her whole body began shaking... She needed answers... Where are they?

What she didn't know was there was somebody outside the room, his expression showing nothing but worry and sadness as he strummed his guitar. He heard the news of her family, and he cried the whole night because of it. It never helped that his friend was currently hospitalized, and he could hear the beeping of the machines and the doctors in panic.

"Mi amiga... Please go through this."

Broken shards of glass and materials were scattered all over the house of a single man. He woke up to his place being a mess and he couldn't do anything but fix it up with the help of his "used-to-be" gang member. "Sorry, you've gotta deal with my shit." Kaoru smiled apologetically and he passed the male a dust pan and a broom. "I couldn't control myself."

The red eyes of Dai only focused on his gold ones before he sighed. "You shouldn't apologize..." He muttered. "I punched some of your walls, there's dried blood on it now..." He mentioned before looking at his bruised knuckles. "For short, we probably suck at controlling our anger."

Kaoru may have managed himself pretty greatly, but what he heard inside the news and from his friend Emile wasn't the best thing to get right after he came back from a mission with his friend. "Only for that night, probably." He brought out a cigarette before handing it to the other. "You need it, "Death"?"

He nodded his head before getting it from the hand of Kaoru. "Thanks." He replied and he began using his lighter. "I really need it to calm the hell down from yesterday. I still want to break someone's rib cages." It was understandable why he was so mad. Dai, after the death of his mother, couldn't control his anger or sadness very well. It didn't help that the people that died could have been his "family-in-law"s.

He and Masae were dating after all.

Kaoru gulped and he fixed his own collar, he wasn't sure if he should ask him or not... but he believed that he needed to. "I might bring up a question, but I'm afraid it could upset you."

"Go ahead, Aroon. You'd be surprised on how much I can tolerate you."

"Do you think we should approach Masae?" When this question was brought up, Dai began chewing on the cigarette that was in his mouth, the surroundings only made the mood worse. "Don't be like that, you don't need to be with me if you don't want to." Kaour shrugged, not knowing how to respond to the male who was twitching and shaking. "I was afraid you'd react like this."

"I'm not mad, I'm just not ready." He mumbled before placing his hands together, his nails digging to his skin. "I don't know how to face her after... this happened." He bit his bottom lips and he began cursing at himself because of how disappointed he is. He wasn't able to save the people left inside his own little "family" and this made him feel saddened yet pissed at the fact. "The people who killed them... I'll not allow myself to die until I get their head."

Kaoru patted the back of Dai before separating his hands to let him grip his hands instead. "You don't need to blame yourself and you shouldn't hurt yourself like that. You're not at fault." He paused for a moment and he noticed that his grip was getting weaker. Was those the words he needed? He hoped. "We agreed that we'd find them together and all. So we're definitely going to get revenge. I'll let you have the head."

Dai slowly let him go, a small smile on his face. "You know how to calm me down, huh? But I'm not ready to see her, you can see her yourself..." He continued to clean up the mess, and in a way, it did make him feel calmer. "I'll face her another time. Not now. I might not be able to handle it." With this, Kaoru understood his reasoning and walked up to him to ruffle his hair.

"Understandable. But I hope that you're going to do well. Once we're done fixing the place, you can go anywhere you want. But if you need me, call me." He made a phone gesture with his hands. "I'll be sure to be there when you need me."

"Alright. I'll call you if needed."

2:47 pm.

This was the time Kaoru entered the hospital, he asked for her name and he said that his relationship was a friend. Even if there was some hesitance, the woman on the counter told her the room number, and he hurriedly went to the area. He clicked the seventh floor of the elevator, and went out the moment he reached that floor. He brisked walked to room 705, and before he could enter the room, he spotted a male sleeping, with a guitar on his lap.

"Shit, he probably stayed from last night..." He frowned before going near him. "I wonder how he passed the woman though... It took her so much minutes before she trusted me with the room information." He observed the area, and there was a sign that people were not allowed to enter the room yet. This made him stay beside the sleeping male. "I shouldn't wake him up... He probably had the lack of sleep..."

"Mi amigo..." The voice sounded dry and he yawned softly before he opened his eyes. "Is that your voice I'm hearing...?" He stretched his arms before turning around to spot Kaoru, who was surprised that he was suddenly awake. "Mi amigo! It is you!" From sleepy, he turned pretty happy, as he began hugging the male tightly. "I'm so happy that you're okay!"

A tiny smile formed on the lips of Kaoru and he softly ruffled the hair of Emile. "Hey. Thank you for accompanying Sae when I couldn't." He thanked him, a bit guilty that he had to deal with everything last night by himself... or so he thought. "Leaving you with such a task... It's so stupid of me, I should have done it. You might have be busy, Emile..."

Certainly, the male was surprised with how his usually happy friend sounded so different from his usual tone, but he popped a smile before replying. "It's not your fault, mi amigo. It was my decision to do it or not. I wanted to help her in any way I could. So did Hanako and Tetsuji!"

Hanako? Tetsuji? They didn't inform him that they did such...

"Oh. At least you didn't have to deal with this alone..."

"I wouldn't be able to." Emile laughed before scratching his head. "I could get myself in here... But I can't drive a car by myself, I'd get lost... Tetsuji offered and Hanako was there out of worry. It was a car trip with friends."

"Get yourself in here?" He questioned. "How did you? They didn't let me in for a couple of minutes, I tried persuading them..."

"I don't like doing it a lot, it makes me feel bad..." Emile suddenly became a bit embarrassed. "If it's for my friends, I'd do it... I may have lied to them to get in, and they were convinced."

That was odd. No one would expect such an innocent looking man to lie like this.

"You actually do that?"

"I usually don't but-"

"No, I understand. I just find it amazing you were able to lie to their faces. Without being caught. You'd do well in my job." He laughed before leaning on the chair. "I'm not the best in convincing people, I'm only good when I..." He paused, and he stopped speaking. "Nevermind."

Emile tilted his head, a bit confused. "I've always been wondering, mi amigo..." He closed his eyes, and he didn't know if he wanted the mystery in his head to be solved, but he was too curious. "What is your job?"

Fuck.

Kaoru suddenly gave a keen stare at him, and he stood up. "I trust you with my entire being Emile. But if you want to know... We should find somewhere more private." He gave a brief stare at the security camera which was close to them.

Whatever he was going to say, it seemed like a grave matter. "Mi amigo, you can tell it to me." He smiled. "The camera can video certain areas, but it can't really record... every sound. The only ones that do are the ones in the parking lot!"

"How would you know that?"

Emile laughed a bit before smiling. "I overhear things a lot. It's sometimes a blessing to overhear people when you blank out to space!" His eyes were sudden filled with sorrow. "And... I don't want to leave mi amiga either... She's still in that room."

Kaoru suddenly softened. Emile always had a good heart, but he sometimes brought up his hidden skills at random. He always showed love to his friends, even thinking about them more than himself sometimes. But because he was so kind... He wasn't sure on how he would be able to tell him the truth. "You've heard... about the Yakuza in Japan, right?"

"You're a part of them?"

"Yeah. I don't know if I should go to the specifics, but I hope you know that I won't do anything shitty like this- I want to get revenge for Masae, if the people don't solve this case fast, they might never be caught." He breathed out slowly. "And justice won't ever be brought to her family. The main reason why I wanted to start was to make the name "Yakuza" into a better light, but for now... all I can think of is revenge... I don't know if I'm a good person anymore."

He'd expect Emile to be petrified by the sudden news dropping at him, but instead he got a hug from the male, making his eyes widen. Yes, this was a basic form of showing affection to a friend but... it couldn't be helped. "You're still a good person... To me, at least! That's for sure!"

Emile was always understanding and he looked at different perspectives every time. He was considerate and he wouldn't mind listening to someone's side and bring out his opinion later... He was a great friend, and he was irreplaceable.

"You're doing it for her. For a friend! You wouldn't think of something like this if they weren't treated so badly until... they passed away." Emile released Kaoru, who had some tears in his eyes. "Wah! don't cry, I might cry too! You don;t usually cry!"

"Don't worry." He laughed before raising his hand to wipe his tears. "It's happy tears. I'm just so thankful that you don't see me as a monster after knowing what I am."

"I will never be able to see you as a monster, mi amigo." He beamed. "You've always been kind, and I'll always see you as that!"

"This is why I love you so much. God, you're amazing." Kaoru lifted up Emile, out of happiness and there was sudden sorrow in the person's face. "Oh wait, shit. Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not your fault!" He was placed back down. "If I could, I'd want to try and help Sae too... But I don't know how I can..." He had a despaired face. "You're lucky that you have a way to help her. I don't know what I can do yet."

"I don't know, if Sae were able to hear you right now, she'd probably tell you to just continue what you want to do." He brought up. "Considering you two are the most selfless people I know."

Emile got his guitar which was laying on the ground before strumming his guitar. "I guess she'd... feel that way."

Before they were able to continue their conversation, the door opened and the doctor removed the mask off his face.

"Kaoru and Emile, are these your names?"

"Yes, sir."

"Mhmm...?"

"You're allowed to come in. She's awake now but she doesn't want to respond to any of us. If possible, can you get her to talk? We want to see if she's unresponsive to only us or if there are damages to her vocal chords."

Without any further words, Kaoru enters the room and Emile decides to bow to the doctor.

"Thank you for your efforts to help her..." With that, he rapidly went in the room, following the pace of Kaoru.

There were two people in front of Masae, and he instant reaction was to crawl closer to them, to give them a hug. There were no words from her, but Emile began crying and he hugged her tightly. "You're okay! Thank god, I was... so worried... I thought something could happen to you and I couldn't handle the idea of you leaving..."

She released them before placing her hands on her stomach. "I love you guys a lot..." They were able to confirm that she only refused to speak. "But I don't know if living is worth this everlasting pain engraved in my memories."

Kaoru couldn't respond to that, and it was mostly because he would have to agree if he were in the position of Masae. The fact she was crawling to her parents, it could mean that she watched them die. The pain must have been excruciating.

Emile didn't do anything but pull her back into a hug. "I'm not sure if I'm being selfish for this but... I want you to stay, mi amiga. I wouldn't have the same girl to sing songs to, I wouldn't have the same person to watch movies to... It might be a selfish request, but please continue stay..."

The girl smiled sadly, her eyes getting watery. "It's not selfish... It's not... It's just..." She wrapped her arms around him again, her tears flowing. "I don't know what to do anymore... I can't bring myself to my own house anymore... I have no person to go home to, but I don't want to stay... I'm not safe here..."

Kaoru definitely knew what she meant. Her parents were killed and her sister was missing. She had to go elsewhere or else she could be dying the next day.

"Unless..." She glances at Kaoru for a moment. "You allow me to do something risky... Then maybe I could have a purpose to live."

Emile quickly let her go, looking puzzled. After remembering his conversation with Kaoru, his eyes widened. "Mi amiga... Are you sure about this decision?"

Masae was caught off guard once she heard Emile say that. He knew the truth about Kaoru already? "I'm sure..." She cleared her throat. "But only if Kaoru would allow me..."

The room was filled with silence, and suddenly Kaoru spoke up, he should be very transparent about this whole thing. "Would you really want to join? You'd risk your life, and added to that-" His voice cracked. "You have to trust me with your life. Literally."

Kaoru only allowed Dai to join because he agreed with the conditions of the risks. Added to that, Masae was someone who may have known how to fight with a knife, but he wasn't sure about her knowledge with guns.

"I already trust you with my entire being... I also want to prove something to her..."

"Her?"

"Tame. Tame Suzuki."

With that name being stated, he clenched his hands. "So it's her. Not anyone else in her gang, huh?"

Emile was concerned with the name she stated. "Tame... She was a part of the people who protected you, right? She was your best friend too..."

"Was. Until she stabbed me on the back." Masae tried to keep the anguish to herself before she faced Kaoru again. "It was the whole gang, but she admitted that she planned it... The detectives don't believe it's her... nor did she leave evidence... I know nothing about her whereabouts but I know it's her..."

Even if she was his childhood friend, right now, they had to look at each other formally. "So with this, what are you trying to tell me?"

"I want to join you. I want to prove that I can do a better job in them, and if I see her... I want to exterminate her whole existence."

Kaoru hesitated to agree with the idea of allowing her to join. "Just so you know, my recruits went back to 0 last night. You'll be my first companion. I will have to train you endlessly because this life isn't all about killing. We'll also go through a long way before we can face against her. She has a whole gang."

"If you need more people... I think I can help."

Kaoru began sweating, and he glazed at Emile. "... It's not that easy."

"I know, but if I get to help you two in a way... I can be useful... Even if I'm not assigned in fighting."

Two people at once? Both of them being such close friends?

His eyes closed tightly before he went to his thinking position, trying to see the options of what may happen.

Masae Milas. A girl with a rich background and was thought some martial arts when she was younger. She grew up wanting to be a cook, and she can use her knife beyond cooking. She also has money with her, and they could use it to buy materials that may be needed. She probably has enough talent in fighting. She could be a fighter.

Emile Amamiya. A half-Spanish and half-Japanese with no necessary background in the Yakuza life. He was known to be great in using his guitar, and he did mention that he wanted to be a musician. Unexpectedly wanted to join, and he seems to be great in gathering information and he can convince people- he has the potential because of his hidden talents. A negotiator.

He brought himself back into reality, his arms now crossed in front of his chest. "You two do know that your dreams are going to be thrown out the window."

"I can't cook for to make my family proud when they're gone. I have nothing else to give up on. I need to bring back my family pride."

"I already know I'm a musician to people's eyes because of all of you. I don't mind being a private musician for all mis amigos and amigas."

Kaoru stood up before placing his hands on each of their heads. "Fine. I'll make you officially agree once Sae can leave the hospital." He smiled at both of them. "I'll be with your leader from now on, and I will not let any of you die."

These were his first two recruits, but he knew he needed more.

A total of three months has passed ever since they became an official Yakuza group. They never did a major thing yet, but there were moments that Emile was able to negotiate people to trust them to do their dirty work, and they already a pile of extra cash. Masae, on the other hand, did the dirty work pretty well.

"Mi amiga, it's been three months but I'm still not used to your black hair and red eyes... it does look pretty on you though!" A compliment was given to the only girl in the house.

She gave him a smile before she scooted closer to go beside him. "Thank you... While you, no matter how many times I've heard you play... You still amaze me every time!"

They both began talking to each other with smiles on their faces while their leader was nowhere to be seen inside the living room.

There was something that rang in the house of Hanako, and she walked to it before answering.

"Good morning. Hanako Fujioka. May I ask who this is?"

"Miss Hanako, it's a pleasure to hear your wonderful voice."

People couldn't hear what the sudden caller said on the phone, but his next words made her blush slightly.

"Can we have a date this Saturday?"

She wouldn't know what the simple date would become.
