-Oxford - Wednesday: Part 33-
Juliena watched her husband as he happily ate his desserts. Not that this wouldn't have happened in the first place, he was known as having a black hole of a stomach and that was one of the things she loved about him. She wished her baby boy was like his father but for some reason, he wasn't and she always worried about that. He was going to starve to death. Which was only one more reason why Kyoko would be perfect for her baby. She would make sure he ate and it seemed that he did back down most likely out of fear of what it would mean if he hadn't. No, she was sure that he liked her, maybe not yet love but that said something. She sighed heavily causing Kuu to put down his chocolate cake.
"What's wrong love?" He looked at her as if anything she said would be the gospel and she just added that to the list of things she loved about him.
"I'm worried he's messing everything up with her." He held out his hand and she took it as he pulled her towards. His arms holding her tightly as she rested her head on his chest. "She slapped him, Kuu..." she didn't blame Kyoko no if she was to put the blame on anyone it would be Kuon. Kyoko was too nice and kind and Kuu had come back in awe over her, hadn't he?
"It is surprising she would do that" he ran a hand down her arm. "After what I saw..." he thought about what had happened between Sho Fuwa and herself. It wasn't as if she hadn't been attempting to stop him but it was clear that at some point she had just given up, something he had heard women who had been raped repeatedly who say they done the same. They did it because things got worse, if it was going to happen it was better to just get it over with than to drag it out. Was that what that young woman had felt? He wanted more information about her, to learn exactly what she had gone through during her kidnapping which all he knew about. Yet that meant there was a difference between Sho and Kuon well Ren. "No, I believe she trusts him."
Juliena lifted her head from his chest as she stared at him, she wasn't sure what he had seen only that he had enjoyed the show of the young man who had attempted to badly flirt with her that afternoon be escorted well more along the lines carried out of the restaurant. "How can you say that?" she said chewing her lower lip, "We are here babysitting them are we not?"
Kuu smiled down at her before kissing her softly, "Yes but that's because of Lory. I don't think he likes the idea of them going on a date but if they are going to do it then he wanted to make sure Ren was a good boy. He's a bit overprotective of his daughter, not that I can blame him." Juliena rose from the booth she wanted to check on them, to make sure. The waiter wasn't the best way to get the information she could see for herself. She needed to make sure that Kyoko wasn't in tears, or shutting down. That girl had been to hurt and she wouldn't be able to forgive her son even if he was Ren at the moment if he hurt her at all. Yet Kuu's arms wrapped around her waist pulling her down into his lap.
"Kuu!" she hissed as he kissed her shoulder softly, "Don't do that" she playfully slapped his arm.
"Where do you think you are going Juli?" he said moving her hair away from her neck as he began to kiss her some more. She wasn't going to be fooled by him, she knew exactly what he was trying to do. distract her. Just like she would do the difference between them as she put food in front of him. Even if her cooking was questionable he always ate it happily because she had made it for him personally.
"I just want to make sure" she tried to pull away from him but he nipped her neck and she gasped. "Kuu..." she had to keep her focus but she hadn't seen him in what had felt like ages and the fact he was here now just made it all that much harder to focus.
"Now my love, how do you expect the boy to learn how to please her?" That she didn't doubt he could figure out. He had never was found without some girl clinging to him, not that she was happy about it. At least his girlfriends were always around his age but she was pretty sure not all of the women he had slept with had been even close to his age. Yet Rick had told them over and over again he was watching him. Rick was the only one who had been able to give their little boy any comfort when they had failed. Kuon was never the same after his death her baby had been only fifteen when he had left them. Now that he was nineteen they still had no real contact with him. She had been lucky, blessed not only had he spoken to her under the mask of Ren Tsuruga due to Kyoko but he had appeared for just a moment, a single moment when she had gone to him to find her. Maybe her husband was right, maybe he would learn something if he handled this, but hadn't they always done that in hopes that he would be alright in the end? She shook her head pulling free from her husband.
"No, we can't leave it to him or anyone else Kuu. That's what we did wrong the first time. We had hoped he would turn to us, we had hoped that Rick would be enough to help him, now we are trusting the kidnapper!" she was having a hard time controlling her anger and he sighed as he held her tighter to him. "We need to step in this time, don't you see that?"
"Juliena, that was different than now," he said softly into her. "Why don't we send the waiter back with a dessert?" she sighed heavily.
"He won't eat it..." she muttered and she felt him chuckled.
"Fine how about some wine?" she pulled away from him and she looked at him as if he had lost his mind. His smile widens, "Well we can learn if that girl you want as your daughter is like me or you if we try to get her drunk."
Juliena rolled her eyes, "Kuu she is fifteen years old!"
"So? Kuon was sneaking booze when he was 12 years old? You can't say she hasn't been doing the same thing. All kids start at some point." he ran a hand down the side of her arm. "Besides he learned from the best on how to deal with a willful woman" if he realized he had made a mistake as soon the words were out of his mouth he realized it the moment her eyes turned towards him.
"Sobach'ya budka" she hissed at him pulling completely away from him.
"But love..." he tried to give her puppy eyes but she closed her eyes turning away from him. "Come on, I don't even know what I did!" He dare not point out that he didn't even know what she said.
"Vyyasnit' eto" she placed her hands on the table before turning and walking off. Kuu quickly got to his feet as she made her way towards her son and the girl she adored.
"Juliena" Kuu whined as he tried to get her to see reason but she was much faster than he was when she had a goal in mind and there was nothing that could stop her. Slow her down yes, but stop her no.
Vas tapped his fingers on the desk as he looked at the information that Boris had been able to gather on the Blue Rose, which hadn't been much at all. Kyoko Mogami was dead, she had died 26th of December 20xx. He ran a hand through his hair, there had been an interesting death report to it. Apparently, she had escaped from a German man. One Boris said was Tod Damon, their dead grandfather. Trauma, she had been put into the suicide watch but not under Kyoko Mogami, no she was listed as Nyoro Nyoro yet they had not watched her carefully enough. She had escaped into the night. The next morning she was found dead just outside of the Tokyo Hospital.
Boris had not been able to get anything more out of it, he didn't see any drug tests being done. Her mother who was not listed either in the report he had simply signed her off and had her cremated by the following day. It was as if the woman didn't even care about the girl she had given birth to. Something about what he had read, resulted in him snapping. He growled as his fists came hard down on his desk, the cracking noise and the tear in the hardwood told him he had broken it and if it was already broken, he flipped it over, "IGOR!" he screamed as he kicked his desk away from him.
The door open and a sturdy man stepped into the room. His black hair slicked back and his blue eyes looked once towards the desk before turning towards the man who stood behind it. "Yes Pakhan?" he said simply his hands in front of him waiting for his orders.
Vas grabbed his desk with easy tossing it to the side as he dug for his cell phone, "Get Natasha, here, now" he said trying to keep his anger down. Igor looked at him before bending over and picking up the cell phone which had been flung across the room and handing it to Vas who took it, "Thanks" he muttered as he checked the screen.
"What shall I tell Obshchak when she asks why?"
Vas eyes turned towards him slightly as he growled but it wasn't in anger at Igor, "Tell her family business" he said simply. Igor nodded his head, it would take some time and they both knew that.
Red, get more information on the Blue Rose. Find that son of a bitch who sold her. - White
"If she would just fucking answer her damn phone..." he ran a hand through his hair as he sighed. He needed to let out some of his stresses. Natasha did things in her own way, it wasn't that she disrespected the family but one of her tasks meant making sure things went smoothly and that meant she left her phone off unless she required it to be done. "Women" he muttered under his breath as he grabbed his coat. "I'm going to go see the family pet," he said simply and Igor smirked slightly at him.
"I'm sure he has missed you Pakhan," he said bowing his head slightly as the man stepped to the side.
"I'm sure he will piss himself" just the thought was already causing his mood to improve. He looked towards the mess he had made, "Get someone in here to clean this up for me" he said patting Igor on the shoulder "and don't let my son out of his room. I want to talk to him after I've had some downtime." His eyes seemed to glow violet as he spoke. Igor nodded his head as he watched him put on his coat.
"What shall I tell Vera?"
Vas grunted slightly, the family pet was not something she knew nor he felt was needed to be known. Not even Natasha knew about this pet that he and his brother shared. While referred to as a pet and selected people did know about this little weasel it was always better to make sure the woman folk didn't get too soft. Women were just in general softer, not that they couldn't be a force of their own yet Vera, his mother, Nikita. They weren't blind to what they did, how they run things here. Yet they were kept in the dark as much as possible, they weren't like his sister Natasha, who had accepted the truth. No women tended to want to believe in the best in people, no matter what. He grunted as he looked at Igor, "Tell her I went to see an old friend."
Igor stared at the mess in the room as he picked up the papers that had been scattered across the floor from when Vas had flipped the desk over. His eyes caught the name, Blue Rose. He frowned slightly as his eyes turned back towards the door that Vas had existed. 'Why would he care about such a thing?' the outburst wasn't enough to result in this response. Vas had a great love for his Vera, it was the sort of love that if you asked Igor was written in the fairytales so this girl, this Blue Rose was someone special. Yet there was nothing that said she was part of the Family. Unless Reino had a sister he didn't know about. He gathered the rest of the papers setting them off to the side before pulling out his cell phone.
Reino do you have any half-siblings by chance? A sister? - Eyes
It would make sense if Reino's father had cheated on Nikita, he wouldn't want it to get out. It would make even more sense if the man tried to hide it and Vas was tipped off about it. That would explain why Boris was still in Japan visiting his sister.
No - Reino
Your father like strippers? - Eyes
I doubt it, not with Pakhan watching him. What is this about? - Reino
It's nothing important. - Eyes
Igor looked out towards the window before leaving the room. The desk would be replaced before Vas returned, it wasn't as if they didn't go through this at least a few times a month. He had a certain Shinigami to try and get in contact with before he could be of any use to his Pakhan at the moment.
A/N: "sobach'ya budka" is Russian for "Doghouse" and "vyyasnit' eto" is Russian for "Figure it out"
Obshchak - the bookmaker, collects all money from Brigadiers and bribes the government, help sets up the masterplans [whose best for what task, what crimes will be best to pull off, ect] they are one of the two spies and yes they do have a network of their own. Boris would be the Sovietnik the second spy and advisor. In his case, he is more likely to gather intel the old fashion way. They all are to make sure those in the family don't cheat the family. They are both equal in positions and rank and basically only take orders from Pakhan [thus it works out as they are his siblings and well family is everything.]
