-"It makes me look like an asshole, that's the issue." Keanu said.

-"Of course it does, you had sex with a girl he likes." Johnny spoke back.

Keanu was laying down on a couch in the Okamigumi safe house, staring at the ceiling. He was still torn about whether or not he should tell Legoshi what happened between him and Haru when he saw him on the roof.

-"Multiple times..." Keanu groaned

-"Just tell him and apologize man, say you'll stay away." Johnny tried to convince Keanu.

-"Me? Stay away? Johnny my dick has a mind of its own." Keanu cut back.

-"Oh come on there's so many other women out there, fuck that rabbit, you'll find something better." Johnny replied, taking a drag from his cigarette.

-"So now you're telling me to fuck her again?" Keanu cheekily asked.

-"You know what I meant, come on, don't be an asshole." Johnny told him.

Keanu sighed and got up from the couch, he stretched for a bit and started walking out.

-"Hey, how the fuck are you not getting in trouble from staying out of school that much?" Johnny asked from the couch.

-"I cheat on every test when I write em. For all they know I'm just sick a lot and visit family from time to time." Keanu responded. Johnny laughed, shaking his head.

Keanu stepped outside and took a deep breath. (Might as well tell him in person, not a phone call.) He thought to himself and hopped in his car. He drove out to the town center where the drama club, among others, was making preparations for the meteor festival. He arrived and parked his car. The preparations were just about done, and man were they looking beautiful. The whole center was covered with decorations, lights,flowers, signs. It was absolutely astonishing. There was a huge hollowed out meteor sculpture, where couples would light candles at the night of the meteor festival. And to top it all off, there was a giant T-Rex statue in the middle of it all. Keanu looked around for a bit, admiring the sights. Eventually, in the distance he saw Louis, holding a pack of ice to his eye and sitting on a bench. Keanu approached him.

-"Damn man, who'd you cross to get hit like that?" Keanu asked, laughing.

-"Funny, it was Legoshi actually." Louis responded.

-"Why do you two have bad blood?" Keanu asked, sitting down next to Louis.

-"It's nothing, he's a suicidal moron, that's what." Louis replied, angrily.

-"Suicidal?" Keanu asked, confused.

-"Haru was kidnapped this morning, and he doesn't understand that nothing can be done about it-" Louis explained.

-"Wait what? What are you talking about?" Keanu cut him off.

-"The Shishigumi took her, she's as good as dead already, and Legoshi ran off saying how he's gonna save her." Louis explained. Keanu's eyes widened.

-"And you didn't stop him!?" Keanu yelled at Louis.

-"What's the point? He wouldn't listen. If they don't kill him first, the boss is gonna eat him up alive too." Louis spoke.

Keanu's heart started racing. Those words...they started ringing through his head.

"You know what? I'm gonna give you a 30-second head start." The words rang through his head. Legoshi? Was he really gonna lose a friend like him? He remembered all the talks they had, the fun night they had out on the town, the crazy ride back to the school, how he almost stabbed him at one point. No, no he wasn't gonna allow this to happen. Keanu's facial expression changed, he was pissed.

-"The point? The point is you're a fucking pussy." Keanu angrily told Louis, standing up. "That's your friend out there, he's likely gonna die and you wouldn't even think to go and help him?"

-"But-" Louis spoke.

-"Don't you even dare using that "weak herbivore" excuse. You've got the strongest will I've ever seen in an animal. You can move mountains if you wanted to, but you keep making the same old excuse. Talk to me when you man the fuck up!" Keanu cut him off, and started walking towards his car. Louis sat there, confused.

Keanu's heart was racing at this point. "What, are you fucking deaf?" rang through his head. Keanu started running, no,he started sprinting towards his car. He jumped in and started speeding off to the Okamigumi safe house. He was sweating. He pulled his phone out and called Yaki.

-"Yaki, get 4 mags filled with 45. Hollow points, for my glock. And does it fast." Keanu told him.

-"What's the occasion?" Yaki asked.

-"No time to explain just do it." Keanu quickly said, hanging up.

Keanu was speeding through the streets, his mind foggy from worrying. (God you're really gonna get yourself killed over a girl, Legoshi you idiot.) He thought. He pulled up in front of the Okamigumi safe house and ran inside, where Yaki was loading ammo. He ran past him and up the stairs to his room. He opened a drawer and pulled out his gun. He tucked it into his belt and ran back downstairs, grabbing the magazines off the bar and running outside.

-"Don't die!" Yaki yelled out.

Keanu hopped back in his car and started driving towards the black market. He knew where the Shishigumi hideout was, the Okamigumi was keeping tabs on all other gang hideouts and safe houses. (Please be alive, please dear god still be alive.) Keanu's panicked thoughts raced. He arrived close to the hideout, and parked his car. It was night, and rain was pouring at this point. He went to the trunk of his car to grab some bandages and medical wraps from the first aid box. He popped the trunk, grabbing the box and pulling some bandages out. He was just about to close it, when he saw there was a blanket covering something in the trunk. On top of it was a sticky note, that said "For Keanu, DO NOT TOUCH. -Hager" Keanu threw the blanket off. His eyes widened and he felt weak in his knees.

Under the blanket was a brand new AK 47. Gold plated with a custom finish. It had the Okami sign on the left side, and on the right side, carved in was Светлана, his mom's name. He held it for a moment, admiring its beauty. He soon snapped back to reality, and put the rifle over his shoulder with the strap that came with it. He grabbed the 3 magazines, which were also gold-plated and ran towards the entrance of the Shishigumi hideout.

He saw Legoshi crouched down behind a tree, looking over the bridge at two guards who were in front of the building. Keanu started sneaking over to him, as quietly as possible. He stayed in the shadows as to not be seen. Just when he was about to reach Legoshi, he heard a noise.

*WHIZZ*

*CRACK*

Suddenly, Keanu felt a powerful pain in his left shoulder. He was shot with something.

-"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Keanu screamed at the top of his lungs, prompting Legoshi to turn around.
