Hanako/Lotus and Rin belongs to polar-stars in tumblr!

Emile/Canción belongs to polar-star-dorks in tumblr!

Comments are appreciated, and remember that I love you!

The phone was placed down after the conversation she had with the male and she wondered why he would suddenly ask her out. At occasions, he would only drop by and bring her some lotus flowers to have a conversation with her- but he never really asked her out to go somewhere before. She placed the phone aside, making sure it didn't drop. She sighed, her cheeks still red.

She may have thought that it was him only being sweet, but there was something about his voice sounded serious. It was a mix of playfulness, but she could tell there was something odd- she couldn't pinpoint it. However, the possibilities were endless.

Why would he want her to visit his house from all places?

The male walked back to his living room, and he only heard the sound of music. A grin was seen on his face as he walked closer to his friends. "Music time already, I'm guessing." He jumped to the couch before casually lying down. He really loved the sound of the songs he played on the guitar, and he felt really warm the moment Emile began singing.

"I'm accepting requests, mi amigo." He stopped for a moment so that his friend can hear him. "So if you want a song to hear, I'll do it for you!" He smiles brightly and Kaoru laughs before he hugged up a pillow and sat up. What could he possibly suggest? The musician waited for his friend to reply, and once Kaoru knew what he wanted- he snapped his fingers.

"How about... the song made by Bruno Mars? The one with numbers?"

"Count on me?"

"Yes." He grinned. "That perfectly describes our friendship here." Once he said those words, Emile looked like he was in peace.

"Alright, mi amigo." He began strumming his guitar and began singing the song. This was one of the favorite things to do of the group every time they were together. Hearing him sing, being in the living room together... It always felt so great. It made them feel like they were completely normal people, and it made everyone in the room happy.

After a few song requests, Emile stopped and Masae began talking. "So Ruru, who were you talking to?" With that sudden question, he only raised an eyebrow. "Was it someone we know? Do we have something to do?" Ah. She meant who he was talking to a few minutes ago.

"It was Hanako." He replies. "I've asked to meet her because I should... probably explain everything to her. I wouldn't want to keep secrets from her... Also I may be planning to ask her to join the little group of ours. She's always been someone who I can trust with everything, especially when it comes to managing. She probably is great in planning things out too."

"Alright, understandable." Masae stood up before she glanced at Emile. "Play Can't Help Falling In Love With You, if that's okay!"

"Wait- NO! I'm being serious, Sae. It's totally business related thing."

"I heard mi amigo say it was a date."

"Emile never lies."

God, Kaoru forgot how Emile can hear things beyond what a normal human can hear, and that Masae would literally trust him with anything- even if he told her dinosaurs fucking existed. "Fine, yeah. I told her that. It was to make her not overthink. If I said I had something to tell her, she'd probably wonder about it until Saturday." He explained and once he did, they both believed in him. "She worries a lot, I don't want to add up to her problems."

At one point, Kaoru had to stay in his house and he waited for Masae and Emile to come back from their small mission together. He looked at all the people that had possibilities of getting targeted according to the people Emile negotiated with and the expression of his face changed after he saw the amount of people getting targeted in his school. "I do know that the people in middle school and high school were pretty rich but..." He flipped through the notes, fear in his eyes. "But this much... It's probably..." His eyes darkened, and he twitched a bit. "Her."

The door banged open, with Emile entering first, panting. Kaoru lost focus on the files he held and he instantly approached his friend. "The dorm called "Sakura Tokyo"..." He tried to catch his breath. "There's a shooting near it. Sae... She told me to go ahead... To tell you..."

Kaoru immediately paled. "Sakura... Tokyo?" That was the dorm where Hanako was currently living in, because she had an internship inside a place nearby. "Fuck. Emile... I..." He knew he couldn't leave Emile alone in this area, and he wish he could split himself up. "Wait shit... Hold on..." He tried to think of another possibility to do, but his thoughts were stopped as soon as someone opened the door.

Out of surprise, Emile prepared a trap he was ready to push the trigger of, while Kaoru was prepared to throw a knife at someone's head Before anything happened, the two observed the people who entered.

Two women. One with ginger hair and blue eyes. Another with white hair with icey eyes.

"Christelle... and I'm guessing you're the new recruit of "Death"."

The expression of the female became dangerous. "Yes. But he told me to come here quick. I don't want anything to do with you, I only want to do as commanded." She places her gun in her holster. "Emile Amamiya."

Emile froze, not being that familiar with the woman who knew his name. "That's me." Luckily, he knew the person beside her so he gently placed the trigger back in his pocket.

"I and Christelle will protect you, for now." She sighed, as she began tying up her ponytail. "I believe our gang leader will explain everything later. But we've heard about you."

The girl with ginger hair moved closer to Kaoru before slapping him on the face to make him go back to reality instead of thinking of things. "What are you doing? You trust us, right? We got this. Go ahead. Go to "Death" and Sae. Be their back-up."

With that, Kaoru only looked back at Emile, before looking at the girls. "I trust you two because I trust your leader, don't get me wrong." He brought his pistol out, before spinning it around and catching it. "However, if anything happened to Emile, I'll kill the both of you." With that, he left the house.

Christelle only went to Emile before presenting herself politely, while Rin began panicking in the inside, but she showed no fear on the outside. "... Your leader has the guts to threaten us like that."

Kaoru finally arrived in his destination, and he noticed that Masae was back-to-back with another gang leader. "Aroon." The male who was behind his member caught his attention. "Quick. Go inside the Sakura Tokyo Dormitory. An unknown figure went inside, and I believe he wielded a knife." He gave him some details. "She and I can handle this." A grin suddenly formed on his lips. "They're fucking ants compared to us."

Despite the increasing heart beats each second that Kaoru was experiencing, the only thing he could do was follow whatever the man could say. "I trust you with this, "Death". Make sure all the enemies are gone when I'm back." He raced inside the dorm while holding his gun.

Shit. Who were they aiming for? He wasn't able to ask Emile... What if they... Fuck, he shouldn't think about it. Despite people hiding and screaming once he entered, he only went through each floor to find a suspicious figure. He kicked the door open in each room, because he believed that the people were either on the ground floor or have evacuated by now.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see you here, Aroon."

"What the fuck do you want?"

Kaoru pointed the gun at the male who held a person with his hands. To his dismay, it was no other than the woman he talked to just a few days ago.

"... Let her go."

She was currently blindfolded and held down. She even had her mouth covered by duct tape. She was a hostage. The person couldn't help but laugh at him. "I hope you remember be, and the day where you decided to shame me in front of all of your schoolmates."

"You're too old for this fucking business." He gritted his teeth. "She hasn't done anything to you. Leave her out of this."

His mind was hazed. He knew that he could shoot the person dead at the moment, but if he did... There would be a chance that he'd stab the girl with one single wrong move. He had to calculate all the possibilities.

"I'll give you three questions. If you answer all of it, I'll let her go." The man smirked and the girl was calm, she didn't even show a single bit of fear. But maybe she was trying not to show it. She could hide things, after all.

He had no choice, now did he?

"Fine. Bring it." Kaoru gulped, hoping that he would at least answer some questions vaguely, or the person in front of him was enough of a dumb ass to give him useless questions.

"First off, what's your intention of joining the Yakuza?"

This wasn't harmful to know, because it never dealt with anything too personal. "At first, I wanted to be a vigilante." He paused. "Later on, I wanted to have revenge,"

"Second, who are the members of your gang?"

He bit his bottom lips, but he knew there was an alternative. He couldn't give the name of his gang members, that's basically betraying their trust. "Canción and Gaia."

"Third, Their real names?"

That was one thing he will never answer. Now, he had to pick his gang or a woman that he considered as a friend. He twitched slightly, his hands was trembling as he continued to point the gun at the man's head. No matter what, it would be a dead end. "Can my name be said instead?"

"Fuck no. I already know it. Your face is too similar to a Chankul member, I am guessing you're his son."

Kaoru began looking down,and he began sweating. This was one of the hardest things to do if you were a-

"YOU BITCH!" His attention shifted to the scene before him. The girl held a Swiss Knife, and her hands were currently untied and there was a slash on the leg of the man. She quickly removed the duct tape off her mouth. "Come back here, you're the only hos-"

"Shoot him!" She yelled and he followed her instruction.

One single "bang" was heard inside the dorm, and with this- a body was down on the floor. The woman removed her blindfold. "It's good I've always kept the swiss knife that Kao-" Once she met the eyes of the person who shot the man down, she was speechless.

"... I'm pretty sure you don't know how to react." He frowned before keeping his gun.

"Wait-"

They had direct eye contact, but he quickly avoided it, and she was able to tell that he had guilt in his eyes.

"I believe the Saturday Date is cancelled." He runs through her before quickly jumping off the window. Even if she wanted to give him a response, he was gone before she could tell him anything.

After a few minutes, police sirens was heard in the district.

Saturday, 6:39 PM.

Kaoru was present inside the dining room talking to a someone who was almost twice his size. His head was down, and he was placing his head on his arms which were on top of the table.

"You do know when the food arrives, you have to sit properly. I think Masae is almost done."

"I know, Tetsuji..." He began fixing himself, looking a bit restless. "I know you might think I did the wrong move... and fuck, I probably did. I should have told her."

The man sighed softly. "I do believe you have your reasons of why you keep things from her. You probably thought of her too much." He pointed out. "You must have been terrified of how worried she'll be and that stopped you."

He nodded his head. "I think that's the reason." He answered, but he still felt like shit. "Or I was afraid that maybe she'd... be scared of me. I don't know."

Even if Kaoru knew himself well, he couldn't really say the real reason why he kept it from her... But maybe it was already said.

"It's a surprise you'd think that." Tetsuji stated. "I've already told her that I was planning to join one, she may have tried to stop me a couple of times because of worry, but it quickly passed and she ended up telling me that I shouldn't die, and if I made the promise- she'd accept it."

"You're... just beginning. You're not even in one yet..." He gestured to himself. "Then there's me! Who's a fucking leader!" He leaned on the chair before placing his hands all over his face. "I've been a leader for two months, and more than that if you count Dai. And then if you count Eizan and Kuga, just imagine how long I've been in this life... My dad is a head, and then my mom can literally slit someone's throat and cry right after... God, I've been in this life forever..." He began messing up his own hair. "And I never fucking told her."

"I do believe it's you just being reasonable. You never told Emile, until months ago. Masae only knew because she was your childhood friend. I only knew because you've told me when I said I was interested."

"You never tell anyone anything, until you think it's the right time."

Kaoru became quiet, and he began believing whatever he said. "You really are my dad friend from my other friends." He smiles a bit. "That helped a bit."

"Mi amiga! Pleasure to see you at this hour!"

"Emile, who en-"

Kaoru spun around to spot a female with her hair tied to a bun. She walked across the room to be near him. "You told me that we're going to meet at 7. I always come 15 minutes prior to the meeting." She looked around the room, and she noticed that Tetsuji was also present. "So what's going on?"

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"And why wouldn't I? I always go as scheduled."

He was stunned by her answer. He always thought that after hearing that he shot someone, and seeing his face while he was doing his "job"- that she would be scared of him. That was the main reason why he wanted to talk before she ever saw anything.

Hanako looked at her watch. "Is my watch wrong?"

He didn't respond immediately, but he did a gesture. "If you're okay with it, then maybe I could talk to you in a more private room."

"I don't mind."

Kaoru stood up from his chair before doing a salute to the man he was talking to. "Talk to you later, Tetsuji. Just eat with the other two, we'll be back soon."

They were currently inside the room of the gang leader, and it revealed a couple of things she's never seen him wield before. "I certainly did not expect you to have this much weapons." She stated before she brought out her Swiss knife. "I expected you to have some after giving me this for protection, but... this is way more than I thought you'd have."

He sat down on the chair that was near his desk, and he started observing her. He couldn't read her, and he couldn't tell what she could have been planning or thinking about. "I gave you that to make sure that you have at least one self-defense weapon. I could have given you pepper spray, but I thought that you'd be better with a sharp object."

"Out of topic." She spoke. "But can I tell you something?"

He was already ready for the worst since he did betray her trust, but he did want to listen. "... Sure. I'm ready for anything."

"It got me bewildered that you'd say that to me." She kept her pocket knife back in her pocket. "When you said that you believed that the date was cancelled just because that whole scenario happened."

He halted his movement for a moment. "... Is that all?"

"Actually... No." She crossed her arms. "I wanted to ask... if you actually assumed .that I didn't know that you were part of the Yakuza? I just could never conclude it because I've never seen you in action until yesterday. And you never told me."

He was a little startled, hearing that she reacted like that. "If you knew, why were you never scared of me?"

"Why would I? You would never harm me, wouldn't you?"

"I would never..."

"Exactly. Why would I be scared of someone who'd never harm me?" She brought up. "I may have been worried about you, and I wouldn't want you to be in this dangerous business. However, it seemed like you were too into it, so I couldn't stop you."

He knew that she was brave, and that if she had something in mind- she'll always do it. "I shouldn't have underestimated you. I've even seen you bring that man down almost by yourself."

"I would have been able to." She brought up. "I made a plan for every thing that he may have done, I just thought shooting him down would waste less of my time. I still had several things to do, and I wouldn't let a man mess with my time."

"You've always amused me, Miss Hanako." He began grinning. "I've always liked you, but right now, I'm even more interested." He laughed, before pointing at his own bed. "You may sit, I want to ask you a couple of questions."

She only sat down, but in an instant, she brought out her knife to block something that was thrown at her.

"Immediately sliced." He was honestly impressed. "Through and through. Your reaction time beats mine." He praised her. "You probably are the best person in planning but..." He placed his elbows on top of his desk before leaning. "I don't think I should do it anymore."

"Actually. Yes, I've been meaning to ask. Why did you want to have a date?"

Kaoru almost forgot why she was here, and it was because he asked her out. She never left things unanswered, and she would want to conclude everything while she can. "I wanted to tell you this, but after the whole incident... I don't think I can."

"I still want to know. But if you're not ready..."

"No, I am. But will you hate me after I ask?"

"Never." She smiled. "I won't be able to hate someone who always tried his best to try and cheer me up throughout my whole middle school and high school life."

A blush went across his cheeks, but he shook his head to snap out of it. "That was sweet for you to say but..." He began tensing up. Somehow, asking Emile and Masae was easier... but it was probably because they told him that they wanted to join himself. "God, my plan was ruined because I thought you'd not come. We were suppose to have steak, and eat together. Then I'll bring it up... but the mood is all ruined." He sighed.

"It's fine. The mood may not match, but I do want to know why you'd want this. You never asked me to come over."

"I was supposed to tell me what I was, but you knew it- so it would have been useless. Probably show you around my house, and show you my room in specific, which has weapons and make you guess. You are clever, I knew you'd know."

Hanako began listening to his story. "Yeah, I do know. I would have guessed it before you showed me your room. So then what?"

"I would have asked you... If you wanted to join." He raised his arms in the air. "Trust me, you don't need to... But Hanako, I've always wanted to know that I greatly appreciate you. You know that, don't you?"

"Of course I do."

"Listen... You're smart, and your ability to absorb information is beyond what a normal human can do. You're able to manage anything, and you've always planned ahead... The fact of what happened when you found out the truth and confirmed it proved everything." He paused, and he hoped she understood what she meant.

"And this means?"

"Everything about you, it just shouts out that we could include you in our gang, you'll be essential in our group..." He stood up before going closer to her. "We need you. We need your ability, no one can fit the role better. You're one of the best people I've met. And... I don't think I can find anyone better."

She was overwhelmed with all the compliments he said, and he was able to point out her talent. He's always been the type to be able to see the best of her, and he'd always support her for whatever. "I see..."

"You don't need to accept my offer to join us, you can take your time. I don't mind waiting for an answer." He patted her head. "I don't want to force you. I want you... to pick for yourself." He walked over to the door.

"I'm glad you're giving me time. It's a lot to take in." She walked over to him, and he soon opened the door. "But thank you for everything you said. I feel more confident in myself because of you."

"Glad to do so, milady. You deserve all the praise thrown at you." He gestured her to go outside. "Hopefully, you don't mind that the supposedly romantic dinner with a candlelight is not happening. But we'll eat together with friends."

"I think it's fine." She responded.

"Alright, after you, milady."

She wasn't forced to join, and she did not need a deadline for her decision.

After four months, Tetsuji was driving a car with a woman inside. She crossed her legs, looking at a stack of papers. "Are you finally giving a response to him?" The man asks as he finally steps on the break. "I've joined him three months ago, I believe that you're the only left that he's waiting for." The both of them exited the car and knocked on the door of the ever-so -familiar house.

"I'm well informed. I've been thinking for months." She told the tall man and the moment the door opened, they spotted the gang leader with a suit on. "So, leader... I've made my decision."

"What is it, Miss Hanako?"

"I'm joining the gang."
