The Next Day:
Theo's POV:
"Okay, ladies. Listen up. I know that the midterms are around the corner and we've finished all of the practical exams we needed to do for the first half of the semester, so all of you have this as a free period to study whatever you want. However, if you do make a loud noise, I will retract this privilege of yours and we'll continue with the rest of the practical exams? Am I understood?"
"Hai, sensei!" The 2nd Years exclaimed and I nodded before I smiled, waving for them to go do their studying. They quickly rushed to the dressing rooms, where they quickly gathered their books and came back. They quickly split up into their study groups as they sat down on the wooden floor of the gym and I sighed as I walked to sit down at the exit.
"Now, I need to figure out what activities to put in the Sports Day." I muttered as I pulled out my pen and notepad, thinking of a list of possible activities for the Sports Day. Why did I have to be the P.E. teacher? I could've been the Tech teacher. I'm pretty good with a computer.
"Track races are a must. A three-legged race should be good too. Sack race might fit in, but I'm not sure." I wrote down everything I could think off…but those three items were all I could think of. The track races could be divided into a 100, 200 and 400 metre race. A baton passing race could also be good. What else?
"A bean-bag throwing competition, a blindfolded pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey contest and a whack-a-mole game for the younger classes would be good as well. As for the teachers, perhaps a sort of three person egg-and-spoon race would be perfect and help them bond further with the students." I heard a voice say next to me and looked up to see Sona sitting next to me, Tsubaki next to her.
"Aren't you going to study?" I asked with a smirk and she shook her head.
"I've already studied, understand and memorized the curriculum for the entire year. I do not need to study." I shrugged at her words before I turned back to my notepad, writing down her suggestions.
"Well, thank you for your suggestions, Sitri-san. Now, I'm certain your red-haired friend is trying to get your attention." I said as I gestured to the right, where she and Tsubaki looked and saw Rias pouting childishly as she waved at them. Sona just sighed before she stood up.
"If you need any further help with the planning, sensei, I will be available to help." I just smiled and nodded at her words before she and Tsubaki bowed and walked back to Rias and Akeno, who was looking far too amused. As they left, my smile disappeared and a calculative glint appeared in my eyes.
'So that's her play, huh? Try and get on my good side and manipulate me into liking or being neutral with them. That way, they believe Yasaka will also follow my lead and forgive them slightly. If not, then they would at least have a neutral relationship with us, which I believe is what she's going to be after all along.' I thought with a hidden smirk before I chuckled as I put my notepad away.
Okay then, little Sitri. Let's play this game.
Later That Day, Afternoon:
At Home/ HQ:
"What are they doing here?" Yasaka muttered and I frowned as I stared at the car in front of the home. Kiryu and Kazuma, if I remember correctly, were standing at the car and Hajima was at the front gate, ringing the doorbell. There was a slight look of panic on his face, but I just stared at the three individuals with him, who were frowning.
One was a behemoth of a man, dressed in a form fitting black suit that might as well have been a tight black bodysuit. His head was shaved bald, but he did have a long goatee that reached just above his chest. A tattoo of a snarling dragon's head was on his right cheek and a scar ran from the top of his left eye all the way down the left side of his face.
The second was a beautiful woman, with long raven black hair that hung loosely behind her to the back of her thighs. She was dressed in a form fitting black long-sleeved kimono with her hands hidden in her sleeves. The last one was the reason I was frowning.
He was an elderly man and yet, the aura he exuded was enough to be on par with most Ultimate-Class beings. He was hunched over, dressed in a black yukata with a pristine white haori hanging loosely over his shoulder. Grasped in his right hand was a wooden cane, the end of it slightly pointed as he leaned on it. As soon as our car stopped just in front of the house, Hajima let out a soft sigh of relief, though not as soft as he thought as the old man whacked him across his right shin. He just hissed softly, but didn't jump around in pain as the behemoth and the woman looked amused.
"Hajima-san, it's a pleasure and a surprise to see you here." I said as I climbed out of the car, gesturing silently for Yasaka to move over to the driver's seat and drive into the garage. A frowning Rossweisse was sitting next to a curious Kunou, who was trying to look outside to see who it was.
"Y-Y-Yeah, a surprise." He said with a slight stutter as he glanced nervously at the trio, to which I just nodded before I turned to them.
"And a pleasure to see you in such good health, Yamaguchi-dono." I greeted with a bow, to which he just nodded.
"Hm, I see your friends are not eager to meet us." His old yet deep voice muttered as he stared at where Yasaka was driving through the gate. As soon as they did, the gate shut behind them and a runic barrier of massive proportions appeared around the yard and on the walls. Runic pattern after runic pattern weaved and combined together in a marvellous harmony of lethal and non-lethal runes from every runic language.
Rossweisse really has a way with those, doesn't she?
"And I see you still don't trust us." He muttered as he turned back to stare at me, only to see me smirking at him.
"Forgive me for the precautions. Last time we met, you tried to kill me and I had to fight my way out of a town packed to the brim with over 60 000 Yakuza men." I said, to which he just chuckled.
"And you gave Kenpachi that scar. I must admit, I did not think there was someone strong enough to scar the dumb behemoth." The behemoth in question just grinned at me widely, to which I smirked.
"Ara Ara~ Are you just going to ignore me, Theo~?" A silky smooth yet sultry voice echoed throughout the front yard and Hajima, Kiryu and Kazuma paled as I grinned at the smirking woman.
"It's only manners to greet the leader first, is it not Yachiru?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, to which she just giggled and I caught the sadistic glint in her eye right before I saw something shiny on her finger.
"And who's the lucky man?" I asked as I gestured at the gold ring with a large blood-red ruby on it, to which she just giggled as she wrapped an arm around the largely grinning Kenpachi.
"Oh really? Congratulations, you two! I'm sorry if I didn't sent a present. I may have been too busy killing some of your men."
"Meh, no skin off our shoulders." Kenpachi said with a dismissive wave before he grunted as Yamaguchi smacked him in the chest with his cane.
"Speak for yourself. We lost thousands of good men." He muttered and I chuckled.
"You shouldn't have sent them after me then." He just sighed before he spoke.
"Enough reminiscing. I'm here to talk to you about something important that may have a negative impact on Kuoh as a whole if we do not stop it." I stared at them for a while before I nodded.
"Okay then. Let's talk." I muttered as I created a table and two chairs on opposite ends out of ice, sitting down before gesturing for him to sit down. Without hesitation, he sat down and sighed in relief as steam spewed from under him.
Should have known he'd use his Sacred Gear.
"Ah, thank you for the cold. These days, it tends to be so warm." He said with a smile and I just shook my head with a chuckle.
"Now then, what is it you wish to talk about?" I asked and he sighed before he nodded at Yachiru. She just smiled as she swiftly threw four talismans onto the ground around us right before a small barrier sprung up around us. Kiryu, Kazuma and Hajima were left outside as I glanced at the barrier with a carefree smile before turning to Yamaguchi.
"As you know, I'm the leader of the Yamaguchi family. The largest Yakuza family in Japan and arguably one of the top five most influential crime families in the world." I just nodded before he continued.
"A week ago, a few of my spies in the Sicilian family and the Russian Mafia told me about a meeting between the Don and the Pakhan, the leaders of the Sicilians and the Mafia respectively. They have some sort of takeover planned for the Underworld, but to do so, they have to take out their biggest competitor."
"Which is the Yamaguchi-gumi." I finished and he nodded.
"They have made plans to create a stronghold of sorts in Kuoh in the next five months as well as other key areas throughout Japan where they can subtly take out our footholds, one by one."
"And you want me to take them all out?" I asked with a smirk and he shook his head.
"No, Yachiru will be taking them all out. What I want is for you to stay out of it."
"That's fine with me. Kuoh is under my protection. If they try, I'll send the bodies of their men back in pieces." I said and he nodded as he stood up, the barrier around us dissipating as the tags flew back into Yachiru's sleeves.
"Remember, no attacking any of them unless they're in Kuoh. If they try to do so, kill as many of them as you like." I nodded as I stood up and shook his head, turning the table and chairs back into water vapor.
"If some of your younger and more…impulsive members try to do help them, though, I will kill them."
"Of course." He said with a nod, shocking Hajima and his two commanders.
"But Pops-!"
"You be quiet, boy! I nearly had to go to war because of your ignorance!" Yamaguchi's voice cut him off, making Hajima lower his head as he sighed.
"Now then, I'll be off. Once again, a pleasure to meet you in much more peaceful times, Richards-dono."
"And to you as well, Yamaguchi-dono. Take care, Kenpachi, Yachiru."
"You too, ya bastard." Kenpachi said with a smirk, to which I just chuckled, while Yachiru waved at me daintily. They all climbed into the black SUV and Kiryu and Kazuma both nodded at me before they climbed in and drove off.
"Can we come out now?" I heard Kunou's voice ask and I looked at the gate only to her eyes peeking over.
"Yes, Kunou, you can come out." She just cheered as she jumped back down before the barrier dropped, to which she quickly opened the gate and looked around outside to see if she couldn't see anyone.
"Where are the bad men?" She asked and I sighed as I heard Yasaka and Rossweisse giggle.
"I need a strong drink…and a shoulder rub." I muttered as Kunou jumped onto my back, closing the gate behind me as Yasaka and Rossweisse followed us.
"I can provide both." Were Yasaka's amused words and I just smiled and nodded, not missing the triumphant smile on her face as Rossweisse just smiled in amusement.
…I need a really strong drink.
Later that night:
"So, basically, we have to be on the lookout for men of foreign origin that might try to take over Kuoh?" Yasaka asked from behind and I hummed with a nod only to softly groan in relief as she kneaded a particularly stiff part on my shoulder.
"Wow, you really are stiff." She said with an amused smirk and I just nodded as Rossweisse giggled, though there was a slight blush on her face as I was currently sitting shirtless in front of her. Yasaka ordered me to take off my shirt and since Kunou was asleep, I did as she asked.
"Makes the massage much better." She said and to be truthful, I'm sort of agreeing with her.
"Hey, you want to go out for dinner tomorrow? Just you and me?" I asked Yasaka as I turned to glance back at her, a surprised look on her face before a coy smile appeared as she giggled.
"Ara Ara~ Why, it would be my pleasure, Theo~" She whispered in my ear and I shivered involuntarily as Rossweisse was currently very focused on marking her papers with a bright red face. Gil told me to take my vacation seriously and that's what I'm going to do.
Speaking of which…wonder how they're going with the investigation.
A/N: Another chapter, another day. Yeah, now we're going into the gangster route here… is that term correct or should I use crime families?
…Eh, tomato, tomato. Anyway, leave the reviews and I'll see you all in the next chapter.
Until then…Ba-Bye~!
