Hakkai: Into you

ONE SHOT: HAKKAI

You let out a loud sigh as you sip the drink you were holding in your hand, roaming your eyes around the abandoned car lot full of men from different gangs. Pasimple mo namang sinuot ang hood ng iyong jacket para matago ang iyong mukha sa mga kalalakihang nag tataka kung paano ka napadpad sa ganong lugar.

Hello? It was night and you were in a very dangerous place that is SO not suited for a lady to be in. At isang malaking laban ang gaganapin ngayon sa pagitan ng dalawang gang. You call it gang fights and yeah, pretty dangerous.

You ignored their gazes on you and just chose to find a spot to sit in. Nakakita ka naman ng bakanteng bench kaya do'n ka umupo, malapit sa isang grupo ng mga lalaking nag-uusap.

"Gagu, pare! Nasa harap ang mga higher ups ng Kanzen! They'll be spectating tonight's fight." Sabi nong isang lalake na nakakuha sa atensyon mo. Pasimple kang nakinig sa pinag-uusapn nila.

"Alam ko! Nakita ko kanina ang Vice President nilang si Akashi. He looked so cool in person, dude!" Sagot naman ng isa.

"Yeah! I heard that he's the one in charge of Kanzen because their leader's identity couldn't be revealed."

Napasinghap naman ang isang lalake. "So totoo pala yon? Na walang may nakakakilala sa President ng Kanzen?"

Tumango naman ang isa. "Oo, maliban lang daw sa mga higher ups. Tangina! Anong klaseng tao kaya ang pinuno nila no?"

"Oo nga! I mean, whoever he is, he's so lucky to have strong comrades with him. Kilala niyo ba ang magkapatid ma Haitani?"

One of them shook his head. "Hindi eh. I mean, hindi ko pa nakikita mga pagmumukha nila."

"Ayun, nakikita mo yong dalawang lalaking naka-upo banda do'n?" One of them pointed someone far and you couldn't help but follow whoever he's pointing at. Nakitingin ka rin sa tinitingnan nila.

"Ang panganay ay si Ran Haitani tapos yung bunso naman ay si Rindou Haitani. Their gang used to be the third strongest in our city until Kanzen's President took them both down."

Nakagat mo ang iyong pang-ibabang labi para pigilan ang iyong ngiti. Hearing them say about the Haitani brothers' defeat is funny.

"I know that story. Damn! Simula no'n ay naging representatives na ang magkapatid sa Kanzen. And their whole gang joined Kanzen too." Sabi ng isa.

"Eh si Kokonoi, kilala niyo?"

"Oo naman! He used to be the black dragons' money maker until, again, Kanzen took down his gang. Then they recruited him together with Inui, one of the black dragons' strong fighter."

Tumango tango naman ang mga kalalakihan. "They're so cool, dude. They scream rich and power. Damn! Bakit kaya hindi nagpapakilala ang President nila no?"

One of the guys shrugged. "Maybe he doesn't want attention? Aba malay natin, pero gustong gusto ko talaga siyang makilala o makita man lang. He's literally a celebrity at this point."

"Yes. He must've been super strong to lead five hundred men all together." Natigilan naman sila sa pag-uusap ng maghiyawan ang mga tao. The fight must be starting.

Tumakbo naman paalis ang mga kalalakihan para makisawsaw sa nangyayari. Inubos mo ang iyong inumin bago kinuha ang telepono sa loob ng iyong denim shorts.

You dialed someone and after two rings, he picked up.

"Yow, Takeomi! Guess what I heard just a moment ago."

"Where are you, Y/N?" You heard his bored voice, completely uninterested about what you were about to tell him.

You rolled your eyes even though he can't see it. "Bumili ako ng drinks!"
