I don't own samurai deeper kyo only the plot. enjoy

Yuya could see there were many people, so it was good she had come. She hoped that they had found another dancer in while she was away. She could not see Taihaku anywhere. So she went up to his office. Why was Kyo here earlier? She knocked and waited for Taihaku replied.

"Come in." She opened the door and went inside. She could see he was doing a lot of paperwork. He looked up and smiled, "Nice to see you again Yuya. How are you feeling "he got up and went and gave her a big hug.

"I'm fine, how about you big teddy bear. You seem to have much to do "she looked at him anxiously.

"Glad to hear. I'm fine, but things do not run so well at the moment "

He sat down and sighed. Yuya followed and sat down across from him.

"What do you mean by that? Is financial'"

"Yes, unfortunately, there haven't been so many here since the new night club opened."

"Have you talked to the bank, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes, but they would have the rest of their money, so I'll have to sell the place." He looked sad at her. "I wish it could be different but unfortunately is not. I've talked with some different people and have said that if they would buy the place my employees still work here. "

"And there was someone who would go along with it. Who does not say that they wanted to do something else than a bar?"

"There was only one that would go along with it and still pay full price, I'm sorry Yuya, I know you love this place. But I simply can get the latest money. "

"Do not apologize, yeah I love the place, but I would not love it if you and the others were not here. You have all been like a family to me. I would rather have you sell than you should go to be worried if you can pay the money to the bank. "She smiled sadly at him. "But who is it that buys the place. Is it a known "

"Yes he has been here a few time and I think you know him. It is Kyo "

She looked at him with shocked eyes. "I do not think I heard it right"

He sighed and looked sadly at her "you heard right, Kyo was the only one who would agree to buy it at full price and get my staff to continue to work here. He said that it would still be a bar, just with more stuff. "

"That jerk. What the hell is he in and buy this place. He does so only to hit me, I know. he wants to see me suffer. You can not sell it to him Taihaku. Everyone else but not him "she looked beds at him.

"Yuya I have already signed the contract. And I do not think he has done to hurt you. Why would he then give full price and let you work here.? "

"Because he is selfish and he knew that you would accept his offer. I'm not mad at you Taihaku but at him. Since I thought he was my brother's killer, there have been problems with him. "She sighed and sinking farther down in the chair. "How can it be my life has been so chaotic."

"Yuya take it easy, worry about the things you need. And I'll worry about this place. You have too much to think about. "He stood up and looked down at the people. "I think it's time to stop searching your brother's killer. He would not want you put your life on standby. He would wish that you met someone you could share life with and be happy. I remember he always talked about you. That he pleased to come home and hate to take away from you. He wished that he could make some things about which he had done. He would not wish that you lived in the past but in the present. "He turned and looked at Yuya.

Her tear rolled down her cheeks. Why were all continue to care I should stop, could they not understand how important it was for her. Her life had been about to find him, so she had to survive on the street. Why would people take it her revenge away. She wanted to be mad at Taihaku but could not bring herself to be.

"I know you mean well Taihaku, but you are the only one who knows how I've had it. You know I loved my brother more than anything else. You saw how much I have struggled with life. When I came here I was nothing more than an empty shell, but the paddle has passed I begun to feel like when I was as a child. But it has cost me blood, sweat and tears. I am no longer the little weak girl who just talked but did not do anything out of her words. No, I've become a woman who says something and does it. I have become stronger and I am determined that I shall have my revenge. "She looked at him with glowing eyes.

He nodded and turned toward the window again.

"I know it Yuya and that's why I wanted you to stop. I would not see you lose life. You are so young and there are so many things you have to experience yet. But I have checked with regard to the murder of Nozomu. And I know you would not survive if you met the man who killed him. But I know you have some strong people who might help you. "His tone was dark and you could hear he was angry" I know you would not find peace in your soul that why I tell you what I know. The man you are looking for is known to be the strongest; he has money and owns large parts of the country. There are not many who have seen him but a few. He has no mercy and uses people to do his dirty work. I tell you once what his name is. "

He walked toward Yuya and hugged her. He whispered in her ear and wiped her tears away.

"Yuya I hope you find peace in your soul. May the gods be with you "he looked deep into her eyes and smiled sadly at her. It was like she had experienced this before. Just with her brother. The feeling of losing someone you loved. She could feel that there will soon be a bad thing.

"Taihaku why are you talking like we're going to see each other again. I'll survive this. I promise you. "She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Taihaku followed Yuya with his eyes as she went. "Yuya my time is nearing its end. The secret I have told you is going to cost me my life. But I would also be happy to die for you to experience the joy of life. I want you to find love. May the gods be with you "he whispered to nothing.

'Nozomu see you soon my friend. I have cared for her as well as I could. 'Thought Taihaku. He knew time was short and there were some things he had to sort out before he died.

Kyo sat and thought about the meeting with Taihaku. He had spent some time considering whether he should buythe place. But had not had time to do something about it. He knew that Yuya work there and she assured would be mad when she found out he would buy it. He was surprised to see her at the bar. He did not expect that she would be back at work so quickly.

They had talked about what the price should be and he had demanded that his employees could work there afterwards. After it had Taihaku told he had a suspect who Yuya's brother's murderer was. But he had said that he didn't care. But Taihaku kept telling. After some time he was caught by something he said.

Flash back

"Kyo I can understand it all to you and Yuya not get along so well with each other, but I would ask you a huge favor." He sighed and looked at Kyo. "You see, Yuya is a very determined woman when she first has set itself a target gives way she returned, she can be very stubborn, but she means well. I have thought to tell her that I think I know who killed her brother. But the truth is that I know who he is and I knew it since the day he was killed. Nozomu and I had been friends since we were very young, but his parents died when Yuya was only 2 years. So he was forced to support them. One day a man came and said he could come and get a job with him, he would earn a lot of money but he wanted something return. Nozomu never told me what he wanted again, but he said it was something that could not be purchased with wealth. It took a few years and I could start to see some changes in him. He was tired and he his eyes were expressionless, the only time there was emotion was when there was talk of Yuya. "

"And what does it have to do with me" said Kyo. Deep down he wanted to know how it ended up here.

"It has everything to do with you. I came home to him one day and saw all their things were packet. He said he had to see to get away and stay hidden. I could see that he was paranoid. I talked him down and told him to explain what was wrong. It took much time to persuade him but eventually he explained that the work he had taken was not an ordinary work, but that he had been hired to kill. He had been told what his boss wanted return. "

"What was it he wanted?"

"I do not know, he would not say it. But he warned me to keep such a knowledge and one day his boss would come and finish me off. But I would like to know. He told me everything from when it started. He said his days were counted and were therefore forced to escape from his boss. He would spend as much time as possible with Yuya. And when I heard that he had been killed, I knew who it was. I tried to look for Yuya but I could not find her anywhere. It was like she had disappeared from the earth. So you can see I got a shock when one day she was here and would have a job. I took her under my wing and she preface me what had happened. "

"Who is he" Kyo was getting irritated, he would not hear of Yuya and her life, it was like sticking a knife in his heart when she was mentioned

"You have to wait Kyo. I need to know if you wanted to protect her no matter what, would you help her even though your not good friends. "He looked intense at Kyo

"Why would I do that?"

"Because when I tell you this, there is no turning back. I know you want to know this, but it could cost you your life. I know if I tell you this, I'm as good as dead. "

"There is no one who can beat me, it's me who is the cat and resistors mouse. And you would give your life for someone you are not even related to "

"Yes Kyo I would give my life 1000 times for Yuya. I swore an oath to her brother. And I would never regret my choice. But go with the conditions? "

"Yes I promise that I'll probably have to help and protect her"

"Good"

Present time

How would I stand to be with her when it hurts just as soon as I see her? Taihaku was a fool to have told Yuya he knew who murders were. He tasted his name in his mouth and got a bitter taste. Where did he want to kill him. He had not only an enemy of Yuya, no, he had an enemy that was even stronger. Namely me. The name kept running in his thoughts Aka no Ou.
