Chapter 300

Kasumi was thankful that she had her husband to share her life with. Koji was very caring and faithful. He was also an excellent provider for the family. She understood that sometimes being a good provider meant long nights, and even trips away from home. Kasumi was especially thankful that her husband was understanding of her interests.

Koji had recently surprised her with a box set of a television drama she had never watched before. It was actually a historical drama, filmed in Chinese and dubbed to Japanese. It was about a fanciful romance between an imperial prince and a fox demon that was trying to become human. When Koji had given it to her, he had explained that he had seen it on sale on his way home from work. Kasumi knew that there were no good stores for videos between the house and his work, so she knew that he had to have gone out of his way to shop for her.

What Kasumi had no way of knowing was that her husband was following a clever plan. He knew his wife loved those silly dramas, at lest in part, because she wished her life could have a little more excitement. If she knew how exciting her son's life was, Koji knew his wife would go into a panic. After the first panic, the woman was just as likely to tell everybody she knew, and then panic again. The Chinese Drama was just the first of five box sets he had hunted down.

His plan played to Kasumi's interests, as well as to her weakness. He was going to season her diet of dramas with ones that all had some kind of supernatural theme for as long as he could. There was a long list of kung-fu movies that had more romance in them than he cared for, but also had magical creatures in them. Koji was going to make a point of inviting his wife to watch some of them with him. He knew that a romantic movie was a good way to inspire his wife to be extra affectionate. He figured that as long as he was going to be spending time and energy controlling his wife's television viewing, he may as well get a little something out of it himself.

Koji had come up with his plan after his dinner with Tsukune. Seeing his son's real home had been a surprise. Learning the truth of his son's new life had been a shock. More than just being a shock, learning the whole truth had given Tsukune's father several big shocks, and a number of small ones as well. Looking back at the time his son had killed a bear, bare handed, suddenly didn't seem so incredible any more.

Koji's plan was to get Kasumi used to the idea of spirit creatures out of legends being real. If she could see them as real people just looking for love and happiness, she would be able to accept the truth about the women their son had gathered about him. Of course some might wonder why he was taking the news so well. That was because of a secret he was not going to tell anybody. Many people, at some point in their lives, complain about having a boss that is a monster.

For Koji, his experience had been back during his college days. He had been working part time picking up scraps and other odd jobs at a construction site for a while. His foreman had been gruff and intimidating from the beginning. Koji tried to avoid the man as much as possible, but one day there had been an accident on one of the upper floors of the new structure. Koji saw a pile of debris shift and fall, and saw that it was going to land on the foreman.

Thinking quick, the then young and scrawny, college student and thrown himself at his foreman while yelling loudly. Well the foreman had heard the yelling and had no problem stepping out of the way of the attack. With the foreman out of the way, Koji had sailed through the air to land in the dirt. The pile of debris came down in a crash right where the foreman had been standing.

The foreman was not fool. He quickly realized what had happened, and that Koji had saved him from harm. That night the foreman invited Koji out for dinner and some drinks. It had been the start of a friendship that had lasted for most of a month.

The end of the friendship came shortly after Koji had finished the job. The foreman invited the young man over to his house for another night of drinking, and to meet his sister. After a lot of alcohol, Koji had learned a few shocking things. He learned that his foreman came from a family of mountain ogres, with green skin, black lips, and red hair. He learned that he had been trying to marry off his sister for years, and she was tired of his drunken match making efforts. That was when koji learned that the foreman's sister, named ChiChi was able to transform into a two point two meter tall green amazon of a woman with a killer body, which she then used to beat her brother silly.

ChiChi was a remarkable woman. She liked working on engines and all kinds of racing. After she had knocked her brother out, she finished off his saki while talking to a stunned, and a little drunk, Koji. In the morning, he had woken up with a headache in the same futon as a smiling ChiChi.

"I hope you don't mind," The large, green ChiChi said with a shy blush. "You smelled so good I couldn't help myself."

Koji swore he would never tell anybody about that encounter. When anybody asked him where he had spent that weekend away from the college dorms, he told them he had spent it in a drunken haze and couldn't remember. In truth, he had been sober more most of the weekend, and remembered most of it as well. ChiChi had been very understanding about his need to leave, but had still kept him busy until late Sunday evening.

One of the reasons Koji had always been so easy going, something that Kasumi liked about him, was that after that strange and wild weekend, everything else was easy to cope with. It's hard for a boss to be intimidating after seeing how scary ChiChi could be. The scariest point had not been when she had beaten her brother the first time, but when he had walked in to her bedroom Saturday, while she and Koji were in the middle of things. Likewise, Kasumi's temper and tastes had never been hard for him to put up with.

Tsukune knew about his father's plan to warm his mother up to the idea of having youkai, if not in the family, at least to be in the world at large. The only thing Tsukune suggested was that there were certain nights it would be a good idea to keep his mother preoccupied. It was a good way to make sure both of his parents stayed safely at home and away from the evening news.

"Thank you for your call," Ross said politely into his cell phone. He broke the connection with the push of a button before turning with a smile to the four men sitting in the club with him.

"My brothers," Ross said to the other yakuza lieutenants. "It is official. The bait man has called to tell the police that he needs to be picked up right away, because his boss is about to order the attack. This means that Tate no Kai's eyes are going to be somewhere else tonight." He gave the other men a hard smile. "This means that tonight, we are going to break Tate no Kai's legs and smash there hands. Tonight, we hit them everywhere we can."

The five men started making calls. Teams all over Japan started receiving calls. When they got the call they were waiting for, they dropped what they were doing and went into action. The different teams had lists of places to go. They were going to be raiding businesses that had been paying Tate no Kai protection. While most places paying protection in the past had been reminded, forcefully, not to, some had been left alone so the operation could be watched. Those places were going to be visited tonight.

While the businesses that had been paying money to Tate no Kai were being reminded why that was a bad idea, the rest of the Tate no Kai network was going to be receiving attention as well. The bag men, drop points, and safe houses were also going to be hit. Ross and his personal team, including Jenna, were going to be hitting the address of a suspected regional boss.

Jenna was making ten times what she had been pulling in as a hostess, and the organization felt she was worth every yen. She had been taken around to meetings as Ross's arm candy, and had discreetly pointed out the other youkai that were hiding within the organizations. Ross didn't just go around and outing the others though. He simply approached them, and in a calm voice asked them if they wanted to come out themselves to their respective bosses. He told them he would argue for them to not only be accepted, but depending on their talents, to also try to get them some extra money or other considerations. Now there was a small cadre in each family, considered as specialists, that were on hand to help protect family interests.

When Ross and the other lieutenants sent their people into action, all available youkai were sent out as well. Everybody had heard about the mauled police officer. There was a chance that whatever had done the damage was still out there, and nobody wanted to lose men if it could be helped. It was going to be a violent night all over Japan.

The Major couldn't keep himself from puffing out his chest with pride. His double agent had confirmed that the police were willing to accept his story. It had taken a little work, but the man was waiting to be picked up, rescued even, just down the street from where the night club was. The double agent was where he said he was, along with fifteen members of Tate no Kai who had been given some good alcohol to loosen up their inhibitions. That was just one part of the trap.

The police were expecting twenty soldiers from Tate no Kai to try a second raid on the nightclub. The Major was bringing fifty toughs to assault the place. The plan was to attack the club with enough numbers to put the police on the defensive. While they were trying to protect themselves and the club, that was when the Major was going to use the fire. By morning the club was going to be gutted, and there were going to be charred police among the ashes.

The Major gave the signal for his men to move. He couldn't help but feel confident. The police had believed the story that twenty men would be attacking. As he moved forward himself, The Major let his better than human perception take in the details of the scene down the street. He counted five spotters trying to pretend it was normal for them to be out on the street at that hours. The bouncers working the front door were obviously going to be under cover police as well. The line in front of the club was mostly women. The Major supposed that the women could be police as well, and if they were it would just be an extra treat.

As he passed the coffee shop, the Major eyed the people there. One couple was clearly exploring each others lungs. A small woman appeared to be reading a book, while ignoring the two men at her table, they had their broad backs to the street so The Major could not tell what they might be doing. There was something about the woman serving coffee that nagged at the Major's memory, but he could not remember where he knew her from. He dismissed the feeling of familiarity as unimportant. As he continued towards his goal, watching for the teams of his men that were about to emerge from the side streets, the Major failed to remember Sheezu Aimi and her brief stint with the Public Safety Commission.

As the first of the Tate no Kai teams appeared at the edge of the brightly lit area in front of the club, one of the women in the line to enter the club let out a cry of surprise. The cry made the Major smile all the more. It was no surprise that the five spotters started running for the club.

It appeared that it was all falling in to place. Some of the women from the front cue hurried into the club. At the same time a score of men, some in uniforms, including body armor, came out of the club. An additional squad came from the alley that ran between the club and the neighboring building. From where he was, The Major estimated there were close to twenty police officers at the club entrance.

Everything was going as planned. The police had been told that Tate no Kai would be sending twenty men. The double agent was supposed to be leading half of the force. With the call from him, the police would be splitting their numbers, expecting to catch ten men by surprise. The fifteen men with the agent were actually waiting to surprise the police. Their job was to keep whatever men sent after them busy and then escape, hurting as many police as they could in the process. It was going to be a perfect night. From under his coat, The Major pulled out the first of his glass bottles of gasolene.

"Good luck to you," Lieutenant Tanaka said over the phone before hanging up. He was sitting in a cramped minivan a hundred meters from the club. There were curtains and panels in place to keep any light from the inside being seen. There were video monitors and radio equipment packed in tightly, along with the lieutenant and a pair of police technicians. He had just called Aono Tsukune and told him where the informant had said he and his men were staging from.

The informant, Tanaka was sure, was just a distraction at this point. He was perfectly willing to let Tsukune investigate the location, and was confident the man could handle the situation there effectively. The police resources were going to concentrate on the events at the night club. Within moments of the informant calling in, the police spotters started to radio in reports of people in motion.

Night vision cameras and trained police officers had every approach to the club under surveillance. The spotters had two jobs. The first was to watch for Tate no Kai's approach. The second was to warn any of the response teams if they were at risk of discovery. With confirmation that Tate no Kai was in motion, Tanaka made one more call to make.

"This is Ito," Tanaka said into the phone when he heard Ross answer on the other end of the line. "The informant called in, and everything is happening. Good hunting."

With the calls made, Tanaka just had to wait and watch. If all went well, the teams would know what to do. It was good to be in charge, but Tanaka hated the waiting.

"Good hunting," Tsukune said after he broke the kiss with Inari. "And keep yourself and everyone else safe as you can."

"You realize that you just broke your own rules," Inari gave him a crooked smile. "We're on duty, and that was a very real kiss. And since we are under cover at the moment, regular clothes are our uniforms."

"That wasn't a real kiss," Tsukune smiled back as they both stood up. "That was acting, because we are under cover as a couple."

Inari just stuck her pink tongue out at her captain in response.

"I love you too," Tsukune smirked. "Now get your team going. I have an old acquaintance to catch up to."
