Alyssa released a long and sharp whistle while examining the mark Gerard left on Emmalyn's cheek. "Shit, I'm surprised you even have teeth." She remarked. "It looked worse two weeks ago." She stated. "Are you sure Maero hasn't wiped him off the face of planet?" Alyssa teased, sitting back down on her couch. She was now six months pregnant. "No, I may hate the bastard, but I'm not going to have him killed." She answered. "I can understand. Do you think your mom will divorce him after you pretty much let the cat out of the bag?" she asked.

Emmalyn sucked her teeth, "No. She's much too dependent on the fool. Alyssa sighed. "I get the feeling that something really off the wall is going to happen." Emmalyn had a puzzled expression. "Why?" Alyssa shrugged, "I don't know, I just do."

Kazuo was now on his deathbed. The time left on his life was ticking at full speed. Jyunichi and Shogo were sitting outside of Kazuo's bedroom in their Ronin hideout and neither on speaking terms. A few moments passed before the doctor emerged from his bedroom. "Time: 8:47 PM." He solemnly announced. "The lawyer will be bringing the will in five minutes." The doctor ambled down the angular hallway. Both men strolled into Kazuo's room, his wrinkled and deceased body finally resembled some sort of peace.

Shogo lit one of many candles for his father, just as the suited Ultor lawyer, James Johnson made his appearance. "Ultor sends our condolences." Was his greeting. Shogo and Jyunichi glanced at one another and back to the man. "To be honest, Akuji's will was not long in length. In summary, he left each possession, both legally and well, not legally named, in the hands of Jyunichi." The man said. Shogo's face screwed a winded expression. He was left utterly speechless whereas Jyunichi was self-satisfied. "If you think that this changes anything, you're sorely mistaken." Shogo heckled silently.

"Even in death you can't respect your father's wishes." Jyunichi mocked, leaning over the bed. Shogo balled his fist, shaking it at his adversary. "You unappreciative son of a bitch, watch your back, don't think I'll take this sitting down." He threatened, running out of the room.

Jyunichi took out his cell phone and dialed Eliza. "Yes, just as we thought. He left me in charge." He stated, an excited squeal could be heard. "We have to get rid of that twerp. He got upset that he was left nothing and I think he'll try to take a few Ronin with him." Eliza was silent. "Oh, don't forget our original plan, Emmalyn doesn't have a chance in hell of getting very far now." He said mischievously, hanging up the phone.
