searching for hope.

Chapter 10

Some members of the Port Mafia sat on top of a building, along with some detective agency members stood by their side. Yosano, Kenji, Dazai, Akutagawa, Atsushi and Kunikida were standing on a tall building that showed a large view of Yokohama.

"Dazai, why out of all places are we standing here?" Atsushi asked. Although Dazai always questioned the things Dazai planned or did, he always knew in his head that Dazai was one of the smartest.

"Good question Atsushi, you see, i got Kunikida to track the skill users next move and if you believe it or not, we found the users hideout! Isn't that great? I ordered Higuchi to stand guard in front of the warehouse that they are claiming to be their "base" just in case they try to make a move. The real reason why we are standing here is...I thought it would look badass." Dazai said, making a playful face at Atsushi. Atsushi just stood there stunned and sighed. Yosano giggled at what Dazai said and it wasn't long before they all started making their way down the stairs,leaving the top of the building to be empty.

Footsteps covered the streets in front of the warehouse, the two organizations had a plan that was bound to work. It was smart and the user wasn't expecting anything to come. The warehouse had one big entrance and two side exits, as it was only one story it sat as a long and tall warehouse, great for smuggling things and keeping big crates in. Just as Dazai had expected, the building was covered with guards from the inside. Dazai had reminded everyone that it wouldn't be the easiest getting through without anyone noticed. Higuchi stood at the side exit on the left, she stood confident with a gun. Yosano leaned against the other exit on the right, her smile was wide. She was holding a big cleaver.

At the front of the entrance there was Kenji, Kunikida, Atsushi, and Dazai. Akutagawa was told to stay back until ordered from the walkie-talkie that Dazai had in his pocket.

"Ready Kenji?" Dazai asked.

"Yes!" The warehouse's door was closed and all you could hear from the inside was the clicking of guns and some mumbling. The main door to the warehouse was closed shut, Everybody knew it was locked. That's why Kenji, who was just smiling, grabbed the outline of the door and pulled it out. bullets were shooting towards the door as the four boys were dodging them effortlessly. Kunikida had used his skill "matchless poet" to create two guns. One was given to Dazai while the other for himself, Kunikida. By then, they were all behind crates, looking at Dazai. Dazai, who was smiling, nodded.

The plan was in motion.

Kenji climbed on top of the crates and started throwing them towards the army with guns, causing some guards to stay and try to shoot, while others ran, the main entrance was now blocked from crates that keji had thrown everywhere, while the other two side exits that looked like they were okay, two powerful women stood behind the doors. Two of the guards had run away from the fight and ran towards the door on the left.

"Hey gentlemen." Higuchi said in a stern tone, shooting them four times each in the chest, blood splat on her shirt. As much as she wanted to tell Akutagawa what she just did and start dancing, she slammed the door shut and pushed the dead bodies to the side, ready for another invasion.

~~

The plan was to get Kenji to be the center of attention, Allowing Kunikida and Dazai to sneak from the back and surprise attack the skill user. Kunikida and Dazai ran around the inside of the warehouse until they found a door that led underground.

"Shit! Dazai, they could get away from here!" Kunikida groaned, shutting the door behind him, causing the only light to show was the small touches that were placed before they came.

"Nonsense, while you were making these guns, I told Akutagawa to block them, now c'mon, he's not that strong." Kunikida groaned at Dazais stupidly smart comment. They ran down the basement that slowly turned into a sewer. They both stopped in their tracks, just then Dazai had tapped a woman on the back, causing her to turn and make her eyes wide. Dazai only smiled and waved.

"I assume you are with that big skill user? Whats your skill?" Dazai asked. Kunikida was holding his gun, keeping an eye on the area around him. The terror in the womens eyes slowly became a creepy, more sinister look as she pointed behind her. Behind her was a male figure that surely wasn't part of the Agency nor the Mafia, The guild? No.

This was the skill user, and besides the skill user stoodAkutagawa Ryūnosuke. No, he wasn't standing, he was on the ground covered in what seemed to be blood. Akutagawa's eyes were barely open, and he was coughing up lots of blood. Both Dazai and Kunikida were now starely at the skill users with a face that wasn't shown on them that often, completely ignoring the women by now, all eyes were on the user.

"Well, It's not easy being the center of attention is it? Haha! I should know from these past couple of weeks...I've made quite a living haven't I? Or..is "living" not the right word to use.."

"Let's settle this once and for all." Dazai said, His gun was in his right hand as his left hand was in his coat pocket pocket.

"I don't think you want to fight me, i mean look what i've done to you're poor man over here, it's only a matter of time before he dies!"

"Honestly speaking, I don't care for that man much, ..." Dazai paused now looking at the younger man, who was barely managing to stare at him. As much pain as Akutagawa was already in, those words were the ones that caused the deepest cut, especially, coming from Dazai, Dazai Osamu.

"But I know someone that cares for this man deeply." Dazai said. A big smile formed on his face. Seconds later he ducked and jumped from behind him, over him was none other than the white tiger himself, in his full form.
