"How does this one look?" you ask as you come out of the dressing room in some very fabulous clothes you picked it. You didn't often go shopping, there was never really anything in your size, and all the skinny bitches (Just to clear this up, this is not an attack on those who are on the skinner side, only those who fat shame others) that would judge you for who you are, giving you looks like are they seriously gonna fit in that? It was hurtful to say the least, but having your best friend, Kiryu there, it helped a lot, he'd just tiger drop them or something

Kiryu stood up against the wall, arms crossed, gazing at you. Kiryu had to think about his opinions, he was rather honest, ALL THE TIME, and sometimes he does not even realize, but how can we change if we are not told the truth? It's harsh, but in the end, accepting it, makes us better.

"Hmm," He said stroking his chin, it was a little cute you admitted to yourself. "I like it, it speaks Okinawan you know? Got.. that beach feel to it, I guess." Kiryu says as he admires the outfit more and more. The Okinawans did have a very beachy and summery style, well obviously. You smiled, probably the first one he really liked, you could tell by his eyes. Some staff came up to you, this happened a lot, they tried to help you with style choices, and what would suit you due to popular opinion, but most of the time, they gave you things that covered you up, cause your size was apparently not worth showing. The lady came up with another outfit she "wanted" you to try, more like buy.

"Hmm, That one is a bit.. small for you don't you think?" She smiled in a bitchy way looking you up and down, letting you know she was dead serious, and a bitch. You looked down in shame, as usual, except Kiryu was with you this time.

"I don't see anything wrong with it." Kiryu stated firmly as he walked around the corner, now in full view of the staff member. She gasped to see just a handsome man with someone like you, but you had the brains, and the compassion, Kiryu didn't need the thin body or the model looks, you'd proven yourself that you were better. She rolled her eyes and snorted, you know that For real?  Kind of laugh. You felt your eyes tearing up, you didn't want this to get to you, but it always did, it hurt. You walked back towards the changing room, closing the door, and sat on the cold, hard floor, with your head in your hands. You heard them talking outside, Kiryu standing up for you, no matter what. It did make you smile to say the least.

"Shes a fat pig! Come on baby you can do better than that! Give you more pleasure than she ever has and will, even if she lost that extra person on body" She said you heard her walk up to kiryu, but it was more an attempted "sexy" strut, rather an a walk. 

"I don't think you realize? Don't you know you're losing customers this way? you could be doing 100 times better. Besides, she may not be the thinnest, but she's good at what she does." Kiryu stated, this made you smile more, but left you on edge about what he was going to say. 

"Oh yeah? and what does she do? sit on the couch and eat cake? And we are top market at the moment, so shut your mouth, don't talk unless you know someone who is doing better asshole." She said as you heard her cackle, but infact there was someone doing better than she was. 

"You sure about that?" you hear another familiar voice come around, leather shoes hitting the tiled floor. It clicked, Shun freakin Akiyama.

"Akiyama-San? W..What are you doing here?" You heard her stumble out, she was afraid of her biggest rival, who was always successful, well articles, billboards, everything called him Mr Success. 

"Just checking up on our number 1 rival. Getting ideas, looking around." Akiyama said you heard him walk towards your dressing room.

Akiyama forced the door open, giving a sassy sorry to the girl, he could get a replacement in a heartbeat, money didnt matter, he had too much. Akiyama takes your hand and admires you, more so to show you off. "Stunning isnt she? Fits around all curves." Akiyama said teasing the other woman, she was on fire now. Akiyama pulled bills out of his pocket and threw it at her. "He's the bill, oh and also I gave it a discount, I kind of own this place now, be seeing you." Akiyama said as he walked out with a hand in his pocket and a cheeky grin across his lips.

"Just take it and LEAVE!" She screams at you, kneeling down to pick up the money, but it was time for you to get back at her.

"Oh by the way," you started as she looked up at you with aggression. "That attitude is gonna get you no where, sure I may be a little "Fatter" than most people, but that don't stop the Yakuza from letting me have my own family." You smile as you, take kiryus hand, and look once more to see her face completely pale, as your family walk through those doors, shes not gonna get out safely, or she may not even get out at all...
