Nine or None

The Melodramatic Gunslinger!

[Josuke's POV:] 

"I-impossible!" I screamed. 

"You're suppose to be dead!" I added, pointing at the man who was standing at the door holding a basket of oranges. 

"You know shit happens Josuke." He said. 

Dahyun went towards me, "Whoever you are mr! Don't you dare come near Josuke!" Dahyun said while grabbing a plastic fork on the table beside me. 

The guy smiled at her, "Pardon my intrusion signora!" the guy said. 

"Il mio nome Guido Mista, signora! Mista at your service!" The guy said grabbing Dahyun's hand and kneeling in front of her. 

I was still in shocked knowing this dude is alive the whole time. 

"What, how and why?" I asked him.

"Josuke is that how you really greet an old friend of yours?" He asked. 

"That melodramatic attitude of yours Mista, never fails to entertain me." I said to him. 

We both laughed, "Dahyun this guy is a friend of mine, who is supposed to be dead." I said to Dahyun patting Mista's back. 

"OI, That's how you introduce your friend/right hand man!?" He said in a pissed off voice. 

"I mean it's your fault for showing out of the blue." I said to him in a cocky voice.

"Pfft!" He sighed. 

"Anyways how did you survived back then? and where did you hide all these years? and why now? why didn't you showed up before?" I asked him all these questions. 

"First of all, I survived the shooting due to pure luck! I was badly wounded remember? You wanted to come back to come and get my 'dead' body, but you were forced to retreat due to us being outnumbered! I barely escaped that scene, it was my blood that led me to a sewer tunnel, escaping there and to the nearest Hospital. I wanted to call you but I figure out that if they found out your right hand man is alive they would finish me of in the Hospital. Second I hid in the rural areas, leaving no traces behind, in fact I almost changed my name just like what you did! And lastly I didn't know you were alive all these years! I only found out in the newspaper, after I found out I quickly head to here!" Mista said, answering all of my questions. 

.... 

I was speechless, I didn't know what to say to him. "I guess I'm the only one left alive in the gang then?" He asked me.

"Apparently yes, everyone was killed by The Don, since they are considered traitors to the organization." I said to him. 

"Well you're lucky to have a beautiful girl like here!" He said looking at Dahyun.

"Oh you'll be surprised Amico!" I said to him with a smirk on my face. 

"Are you still the gunslinger I know?" I asked him. 

"Amico, Amico! My Gunslinging skills are from my blood they don't fade away!" He said in a proud voice. 

"You know Dahyun Mista here is my right hand back in the day, he was the hitman of our gang. He can use any guns out there, but he likes to use his revolver. You know my revolver? It was from him before he 'Die'. " I said to Dahyun.

Dahyun nodded in satisfaction. 

"But he's melodramatic and tetraphobic." I whispered to her. 

"Oi Josuke! what are you saying? C'mon you know the number 4 is a symbol of badluck!" Mista said to me. 

"See what I'm talking about Dahyun?" I asked her. 

Dahyun nodded in agreement. 

Mista sat down on the couch, "So what's the plan now Josuke?" He asked me. 

There was a silent in the air for awhile, I sat on the hospital bed thinking what's the next move.

"I don't know either." I said to them. 

"I don't know if I should even continue this." I added. 

"Why? You've come so far and you want to give up!?" Mista said to me and stood up.

"But I don't want anymore people getting involved in this shit!" I said to him, raising my voice.

Mista took out his pistol and pointed it at me. "Now how about those people who died trying to stop your father? Our gang members who gave up their lives just for you to stop your father? Would you let their death be in vain?" Mista said to me.

There was a silent in the room, Dahyun looks frightened by what is happening right in front of her.

"Aight, we'll do this but this is the last time, win or go home, Mista." I said to him.

Mista hid his gun, satisfied with my answer.

"Now we're talking! This is the Vincent I know! I mean Josuke, you go by Josuke now." He said. 

"What about us?" Dahyun asked me in a worried tone. 

"Don't worry Dahyun, Josuke got this! I swear it, I'll protect all of you! I don't care if I have nine lives, I'm ready to give it up for the nine of you!" I said to her, holding her hand. 

"We'll get back in track Mista! After I get out of here." I said to Mista. 

Mista, Dahyun and I continue to talked for the next few hours, Dahyun introduced the other girls to Mista. Mista kept teasing me that I was building a Harem. 

After a few hours of casual talking, "Hey do you know where I can temporary stay for awhile?" Mista asked me.

"Yeah my House, but its kinda wrecked right now, after the drive by." I said to him. 

"No worries! I'll fix it while you're here!" He said confidently.

"Hmm aight." I answered him.

"Oh by the way since I'm here at the Hospital, can you check the girls for me while I'm staying here, just introduce yourself as my friend and besides Dahyun prolly told the others about you on the phone." I said to Mista. 

"Copy that Boss!" He said before leaving the room. 

I let out a smirk, "That bastard." I thought to myself. 

"I called out Momo to look after you since she's always awake at night. She'll have no problem looking after you. Just don't forget to feed her as always okay?" Dahyun said to me. 

"Okay Dahyun." I replied to her. 

"I'll leave if she got here okay? You can sleep it's already late. Don't worry about us okay?" She said to me, patting my head.

"Yes Ma'am!" I said to her. 

I closed my eyes, "I swear! I'll chase you up to the ends of the Earth until I beat the goddamn shit out of you Dad!" I thought to myself before drifting into sleep.
