Chapter 3
"Come on, let's set up." Kohaku's aunt said, and walked over to a spot nearer to the water, but far enough away that their things would not get wet. Kohaku wore her surf swimsuitw, which consisted of dark blue short shorts, a dark blue bikini top, and she had her hair up in a ponytail. Her Aunt Mitsuko was wearing a green bikini swimsuit with a short skirt around her hips. They brought their surfboards and some snacks and water. Mitsuko laid out two towels and a big umbrella to sheild them from the sun. When she was done, they both picked up their surfboards and ran to the water. They waded in deeper and then laid on their boards paddling forward with their arms and hands. They looked behind them. There was a good sized wave coming towards them. They then stood on boards and used their hands to balance.
After they went surfing, Kohaku got washed up and Aoshi took her to her favorite restaurant, which was fancy cafe called 'Kami-Okami'. Inside the cafe was all blue, to match its name. There were blue drapes, table cloths, and the seats were all different shades of blue. A waiter came up to the two. "M-my lady, my l-lord! Welcome back to Kami-Okami!" he stuttered out nervously and bowed. "Thank you, Daisuke. There's no need to be so nervous, though. It's only us two." Aoshi replied. "Of c-course!" The waiter replied and showed them to Kohaku's favorite seat, which was a private little room with a Japanese sliding door. Daisuke pulls out a small pad of paper and a pen. "What would you like this time, my lady?" He asked Kohaku, turning to her. "Hn? Oh, um, Sushi Sashimi and Kaisendon. Oh, and for a drink, Matcha Latte, please." Kohaku replied. "Yes, my lady. Right away." The waiter replied as he wrote everything down. "And you, my lord?" He turned to Aoshi. "Let's see, Seafood Udon sounds good. I'll have that and some green tea." Aoshi answered. The waiter bowed and said, "Of course." He walked to the kitchen to place the order. Kohaku looked deep in thought. "Uncle." Kohaku called to Aoshi. "Nani, Haku?" "When are you going back to the dojo?" she asked. "Mmm, tomorrow, I suppose?" he replied. "Why?" "No reason. Besides, I have to go back to Himura Village. Oikawa-san wants me to do another assignment. I am the captain of the Divine Dragon after all." Kohaku said. "Yes, along with being our Head of the Clan and title, Supreme Yakuza Boss." Aoshi added on.
Their food came within 20 minutes. They both said, "Itadakimasu!" and dug in. Kohaku tried to eat slow, but ended up eating her food fast. Aoshi paid for the bill and they left the cafe.
Back in the Kurosaki mansion, someone was waiting for her. Hiyacinthus was waiting for her in the parlour. "Hiya! You're back!" Kohaku literally jumped into the golden haired boy's outstretched arms. They hugged and Kohaku said, "Haven't seen you in a while!" "Yes, well, blame it on the head medic, Osamu-san. He's been overworking me for some reason. It was more than operations. I had to also decipher medical codes and transcribe them into Japanese." Hiyacinthus replied. Kohaku took a step back and looked him over. He looked a little off.(I don't me crazy off, just the overworked off) First off, his skin didn't have the bronzy glow that it usually held. His eyes had little bags under them and his clothes were a little ruffled and out of place. "Hmm, you need to go up to your room and sleep." Kohaku said finally. She pushed him towards the grand stairway. "B-but, Kohaku!" he complained. "Good night!" she effectively cut him off. So, he just nodded and walked to his room, which adjourns to Kohaku's. Kohaku turned around and told Hayato, "Call everyone on the 'private' guest list. A private 'party' will be held in the game room." Hayato bowed and replied, "Yes, my lady." He left the parlour.
Later in the evening, a group of people from the 'private' list had gathered in the large game room. "Well, well, Kurosaki-sama, what's the occasion?" a male werewolf named Ayame asked. "Nothing, really. I just wanted to have some fun, ne?" Kohaku replied in a low tone, her amber eyes glinting with glee and mischief. She was in a comfortable chair in front of the pool table and held a pool stick in one hand, her head resting lightly on the other. "Ah, you demon!" the wolf said and smirked. "Aren't I?" Kohaku said. "Care to take your turn, Kurosaki-sama?" another named Dai'ichi, asked. "Pass. I don't intend to hit the wrong ball." Kohaku replied. "Miss Pretentious." Kohaku's second oldest uncle, Hideki Kurosaki, said. "Same to you, Uncle." "Hmf. You are very much like your mother." "Am I? Cool." "Let's not argue, Hide-nii san, Haku." Aoshi spoke up, his arms crossed against his chest, with a pool stick in one hand. "It's Uncle Hide's fault." Kohaku replied. Aoshi had to smile at his favorite niece. Kohaku's oldest aunt, Miyazaki, walked up to the pool table and leaned over, shooting the white ball against two. Neither of the balls went into any of the four holes. "Tch, missed." She said. "So, what of the gang who's been messing around in our warehouses, Haku?" she asked her niece. "Don't worry. As Supreme Boss and the head, I've been keeping tabs on this foolish gang. I have a trap for those 'filthy rats' in the next warehouse." Kohaku answered. "You really are a devil." Ayame said. "I'll take that as a compliment." the Oyabun replied. "Enough pretentious talk. When will they be eradicated, Kurosaki-sama?" another man asked. "Colorful choice of words, Ryuusaki. You'll want to watch that tone with me." Kohaku said dangerously, narrowing her eyes. Ryuusaki leaned back against the wall. "Well, if you're willing to pay me a generous amount, they'll be gone soon. Send the money by midnight, tonight. I'll be waiting." "Fine, I'll pay. One of my assistants here." "Good boy." Kohaku said. Ryuusaki grunted. "I think I'll end this game. I'll take my turn." she sighed and got up from the chair. She sat on the edge of the pool table and leaned over with the stick. "Y-you're aiming for the red one?!" Dai'ichi asked in surprise. Ryuusaki walked towards the door. "Greed and arrogance will be your ultimate downfall, Kurosaki." He said and walked out the door. Kohaku shoot the red ball and knocked all of them to the holes. "Greed and arrogance, my downfall, hn?" Kohaku smirked.
