Blood Moon

Chapter 50

*Third's Pov*

Hiroshi sat in his bed...

Emotionless....

His eyes had turned doll-like...

The entire room was completely filled with darkness as he stared up at his ceiling.

Hiroshi: They're gone...They're all gone...

His friends...

Manaka...

Kamishiro...

Himeno...

Yamada...

They're...Dead...All of them...

He couldn't do anything...

He couldn't save them...

Without their help...he felt...powerless...

Hiroshi: This can't be happening....Himeno...Yamada....

-Flashback-

???: Hey Hiroshi~!

Hiroshi: What do you want?

???: Hey. Don't treat me like that. After all, we're best buddies.

Hiroshi: Since when was I ever your buddy? (If anything, I feel like a pawn to you) Anyway, what do you want Himeno?

Seiya: I was wondering...since we're about to be in high school next year. Would you be interested in getting in a job?

Hiroshi:...What had brought this up?

Seiya: Yamada told me you were short on money. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to help you~!

Hiroshi: Don't need it. My mom sends me money while she's overseas.

Seiya: Yeah. But is that money enough to help you get by? Sure for food and paying bills maybe....but don't you want more money?

Hiroshi:....What are you getting at?

Seiya: Hey, what's with that look? As a friend, I'm giving you a genuine offer. Sure, you're welcome to refuse. I won't hold it against you.

Hiroshi: Liar. What's the occasion?

Seiya: Here's one. How good are you with computers?

Hiroshi: I know a few things but that doesn't mean I'm tech wise.  Why?

Seiya: Think about it. It's a shitty world out there. Many people want to see our organization fall. So how about we teach those assholes a thing or two of what happens when they mess with the Yakuza.

Hiroshi: Get to the point.

Seiya: You work for me as an immediate hacker. I'll give you and your struggling family protected privilege with the Himeno Family. That way there will be more money in your pockets and all the people I ask you to look up info for will be struck down. Think about it. It's like killing birds in one stone.

Hiroshi:....

Seiya: Would you like it if I some time to think about my offer?

Hiroshi: I'll think about it.

Seiya: Okay Buddy. But remember. The Himeno Family wants only one thing. LOYALTY. Don't ever betray the Himeno Family. Such action will have you subjected to DEATH.

Hiroshi: You don't scare me. But yes I know. I won't. I'll...take your offer. But I'll begin when we start high school.

Seiya: Good~! I'll provide you all the things you need~!
