Okumura Syndicate

Chapter 1: Fallen From The Sky

The sun hung low in a painted orange sky, illuminating the clouds that surrounded it. Its fleeting warmth reached a small town and the secluded mansion on the hillside adjacent to it.

 The mansion currently belonged to Edward Okumura- though many of his predecessors walked the same halls he did. He was not the only soul living there either- plenty of his family members, family friends and those who'd earned their place there lived alongside him. They were more trouble than they were worth but nevertheless he was fond of the company.

 He held a glass of white wine in his hand as looked out from his room, observing the humble town beneath him. 

He then jumped, spilling some of the wine on his shirt. He heard some sort of loud "crash" coming from the garden.

The crash had left some impact, seemingly injuring Aster. He then proceeded to come to his senses Briefly, he says out loud no regard for anyone or anything around him, "What the hell...? This is what I get for exposing them and fighting back...? Ugh what a joke...I’m glad I was kicked out, had enough of that planet anyway.".

Aster's mind began to get used to the scenery, "Hm, different style of ground I’m used to.", he thought as he got the strength to weakly get up "Maybe my ability would be best used here...actually no, I just landed in this world, I’m not going to eat anything just yet." His attention was dragged to the mansion in all it's glory. "W-What? This huge mansion right beside me...? What world even is this?!".

An elven girl, Fleur was sitting crossed legged in the garden humming gently making a daisy chain and scrunching her face up everytime it snapped, five times now. Safe to say the short female was becoming aggravated with the annoying flowers not doing exactly as she wanted. Suddenly, a loud crash blew her onto her back and she squeaked, looking around frantically with furrowed brows thinking it was was the stupid wind servant again. Her eyes widening as she hears someone talking.

The pink haired girl shuffled behind a nearby bush out of fear of the unknown, poking her head out of the bush to get a better look, seeing a human. "How did he get past the soldiers on evening watch?!" she whispered harshly. She rushed to the entrance where the stranger was standing, narrowing her eyes at him. She grabbed a sword from the wall at pointed it at him, this wasn't any place he could trespass. "Who are you?", she asked, terrified what he would do. "Edward sir! There's--!"

"I know I heard." Edward hissed at one of his servants- rushing down to the garden so he could see what made that crash in the first place. "Cowards," He thought, "Making me do all the work." He squinted as he flung the door open that led outside. He was shocked to see a young man standing there at swordpoint from Fleur.

Aster begins to assess his surroundings, due to his awfully cautious nature, he had trouble trusting others due to past experiences. Fleur seemed less than intimidating, but who knew what she was hiding, with a sword at his neck, he had to say something, "Huh? Who am I? Well at least you’re polite enough to ask my name despite holding a sword to me, well now let me ask you a question. Answering a question with a question, it’s how I talk. Now what is this place and what’re you doing threatening my life?"

Putting on a cocky shell and slowly backing up, not realising there was another person behind him. "I don’t get this world, and you may not believe me, but I was sent to this world by banishment, I swear upon my life but if I was to answer your question. The names Aster, Aster Orocha, member of the Tiliac clan. The only one with half a brain and I was sent to this clearly hostile joint.".

Fleur watched with a completely scared expression, the poor girl didn't even want to be holding a sword, but she'd do anything to get Edward's approval to move higher up in ranks, and so she held the sword to his throat with a guilty look on her face as if she was about to crack listening to him talk to her. "This is Sir Edward's mansion a-and I am holding a sword at you because you appeared after a large explosion! This is p-private land so um shoo! Yes..o-kay!?" She stares at him intensely as he answers, trying to guess if he was truthful but the reading was foggy for her, she blinked jumping as she saw Edward dropping the sword with a loud clunk looking around frantically.

Meanwhile, one of the soldiers of peculiar stature, Craqq, heard the crash from the distance.
"A crash from within?", thought the young man. Beneath his mask, his typical earnest expression became a frown. If there was an intruder, the rest of  the soldiers would surely have been alerted. Of course, it may not have been an intruder at all - his ears allowed him to pick up all sorts of sounds noone else could. It was typical, really. Perfectly designed for a job he hated, but if anyone knew...
"Well, let's hope it stays secret for now." Adjusting his stifling helmet, he turned to slip silently into the door behind him. He could only be a minute, or he may be missed.

"Well, who do we have here?"Edward managed to approach the intruder. The tall boss knelt down to their levels, glaring at Aster with a look that screamed murderous intent. He stays by Fleur's side, not daring to go near the sunlight that touched Aster and the land he was standing on "Fleur, dear, how about you pick that sword up and lead him to the mansion?".

The short girl watched with a mortified expression seeing him, he was the top of the top, it freaked her out, but she was also considered a higher level member, being a caporegime, but nothing to his level, she jumped as he spoke her eyes widened as she frantically nodded at him. Picking up her sword, she swallowed thickly unsure of why the boy wasn't dead yet, she grabbed his arm shakily holding the sword at him in a terrible form, it was wonky and in no way could do any damage the way she held it "Yes s..sir!" she coughed dramatically "SIR EDWARD!". The short girl was embarrassed to be so intimidated she grabbed Aster's arm and brought him inside, breathing quickly. This guy had to go.
