-"You know I never understood why people wash their hands after they use the urinal." Yaki commented, sipping his beer. The three wolves sitting beside him in a bar booth glared at him with a puzzled look.

-"Cause it's hygienic?" Sera replied.

-"If that's what you're concerned with, why don't you wash your hands before you use it?" Yaki rebutted. Hager and Raph leaned in a bit, now engaged.

-"What's the point if I'm gonna just wash them afterwards?"

-"And that's what I have a problem with. You're touching yourself with your dirty hands, and THEN you go and wash them after the deed is done? Makes no sense. You just wash 'em before, and then you're touching your privates with a clean hand."

-"So what, you just take a piss and then shake people's hands after you've fondled your troublemaker?" Hager cut in.

-"Yeah?" Yaki replied, not seeing the issue.

-"Oh!" The three other wolves exclaimed in unison.

-"What!? My dick's not dirty! What does it matter?"

-"How do you know that?" Raph inquired, shaking his head in disbelief.

-"Cause I only touch it with a clean hand:" Yaki growled lowly, waving his right hand in front of Raph's face as if he was screwing a light bulb

-"It's a part of your body, It's got oils, sweat, grime and stuff that builds up on it-" Hager continued.

-"Touch your face." Yaki interrupted, pointing a finger at him. Hager put his hand on his face. "You wanna wash your hands now?"

-"Man fuck you." Hager brushed off, sipping his drink.

-"Y'all just won't admit that I'm right." Yaki puffed, raising his hands.

-"Fine. So the most hygienic thing to do would be to wash your hands before AND after you use the bathroom." Raph intervened, wanting to put this discussion to a close.

-"Well that's just a waste of water..." Sera murmured.

-"Waste of- Who cares!?" Raph yelled, clearly agitated.

-"Hey! Out of all the water on earth, only 3% is fresh water. And of that 3% only 1.2% is drinkable. The rest is trapped in glaciers and shit. And you wanna waste that by washing your hands twice?"

-"Oh my god, like I'm gonna make a difference." Raph grumbled.

-"See if everyone had that attitude we'd be out of water. I'm telling ya, in a couple decades we'll all be at war for what water is left. And the polar bears are gonna come out on top cause of their supply that they can just melt away." Sera explained, cigarette in hand.

-"I turn the water off when I brush my teeth..." Hager softly spoke, swirling his drink around the glass.

-"There you go, it's something." Sera applauded.

-"Sera I'm gonna walk in the bathroom and I'm gonna open every faucet, flush every toilet and piss in the trashcan if you don't drop this."

-"Just make sure to wash your hands first." Yaki chimed in, prompting both him and Sera to laugh. Raph rolled his eyes and lit up a cigarette.

-"So wait. You still touch the handle to flush. Hundreds of people touch that, that's got to have millions of bacteria, you gotta wash that off." Hager spun the conversation back.

-"I flush it with my elbow." Yaki answered, seemingly proud of his method.

-"Fair point." Hager replied, giving him a nod.

The booth was silent for a few moments, everyone seemingly minding their own business.

-"What about when you take a number 2?" Raph asked, breaking the silence.

Everyone looked at Yaki, eagerly awaiting his response.

-"Well tehnically you're holding the paper..."

-"OOOOOH!" The three wolves cried out, backing away in disgust.

-"Fucking disgusting!" -"You're never eating with me again..." -"Were you raised in a barn!?" The wolves exclaimed, their disapproval overlapping. Yaki just chuckled.

-"I'm fucking with you, come on, of course I wash my hands." Yaki backpedaled.

-"I'm finding that hard to believe now." Hager commented.

-"Yeah well at least I'm not walking around with a dirty dick:" Yaki provoked.

-"Can we please talk about something else!? I'll take anything at this point." Raph slammed his hands against the table, prompting the drinks to bounce slightly.

-"How'd it go with collecting sleeping beauty's envelopes?" Sera asked, tilting his head towards Hager.

-"No trouble. Everyone coughed it up without a word of resistance. Guess he scared them enough."

-"He's efficient, gotta give him that." Yaki admired and finished his beer. "Maybe he's wasting his time at that school."

-"Don't. He deserves a chance at a regular life." Raph reprimanded.

-"I'm just saying that maybe he should further develop his talents. I was the best pitcher in my high school team, I could have gone pro if I focused on that."

-"And yet you decided that you prefered the money and status from being a made guy" Hager interrupted.

-"So I did." Yaki confirmed, clicking his tongue.

-"He's got a whole world of opportunity in front of him if he finishes Cherryton Academy. Scholarships, mentorships and programs will be flying his way, doesn't matter that he's not beastar material he can still build a very comfortable life for himself." Raph continued.

-"Yeah, cause he's living so uncomfortably now..." Sera murmured. Raph looked him in the eyes and leaned closer, putting his elbows on the table.

-"You know damn well what this thing of ours does to you. If he were comfortable he wouldn't be constantly trying to numb or short-circuit himself."

-"He'll get over it. It's just teenagers and their hormones. I'm fine aren't I?" Sera brushed off.

-"You're right. I mean, any well-adjusted person gets a kick out of torture and sodomy." Raph replied, with a smug look on his face. Sera smirked.

-"Dog's gotta have his bone. I'm sorry that mine's not a desperate attempt of being a father figure. I guess that's because I'm not shooting blanks." Sera smiled, staring at Raph.

-"You motherfuck-" Raph growled, lunging towards Sera. Hager grabbed him and pushed him back into his seat.

-"Cut it out! Both of you! We've all got our issues but guess what? We deal with them personally, like fucking adults! Now stop provoking eachother."

-"I'm done here anyway." Raph growled, pulling out a wad of cash and throwing 5000 yen on the table before getting up from the booth, grabbing his coat and walking out of the bar.

-"That was out of line man..." Yaki shook his head.

-"Oh please. I didn't say a single lie." Sera snorted, taking a puff of his cigarette.

-"It's a shitty thing to say, and you clearly enjoyed upsetting him. Don't forget we're all in this together." Yaki reminded.

-"Whatever. I'm gonna head out too." Sera rolled his eyes, putting out his cigarette and likewise walking out of the bar.

Yaki and Hager sat in silence for a bit, both sipping their drink.

-"He does need a father figure. And an education. No matter his talents, the path he's headed ends in two ways. He wasn't old enough to understand that when we brought him in." Hager spoke, looking at Yaki. Yaki inhaled and exhaled through his nose.

-"Yeah..."

-"You don't have to say a word..." Louis spoke, looking down at Legoshi who was crouched on the ground and looking up as if he saw a ghost.

-"That's the spy who's been following us around boss!" Agata inquired.

-"He might've stolen some information regarding the Shishigumi... What do we do with him, boss?"

-"You need to be more careful with making our contracts! Don't embarras the boss!" Dolph yelled

-"Sorry..." Miguel mumbled.

-"Don't make a scene, fellas." Louis commanded.

He reached his hand out towards Legoshi's face, grabbing the muzzle he was wearing and pulling on it.

-"Leave everything to me."
