one year later.

the sound of polished, breakneck heels rhythmically colliding with cobbled stone echoed down a busy street, drowning in the various other sounds of tokyo in its prime nightfall. the late-night breeze combed it's delicate path through your hair, swaying delinquent strands from your face.

cold eyes drifted languidly across the scene before you, suddenly ceasing as they met with familiar rusted letters. 'musashi shrine'.

your hands brushed against the skirt of your tight-fitted dress with each powerful and continual step, arms & shoulders clothed by a hip-length leather jacket.

upon first glance, many would agree that your destination was reasonably ordinary, the only noteworthy feature about it being its rare serenity in comparison to the teeming streets of shibuya. however, at night, its peace doesn't remain for a second after 8pm, as that is when it becomes occupied by one of the most significant & freakishly powerful gangs in all of tokyo - the tokyo manji gang.

& that is exactly the reason you currently trekked toward its large entrance, one idle hand firmly in your pocket, the other twirling the candy inside of your mouth.

as you walked inside, a huge horde of men surrounded a stage-like structure, all dressed in corresponding black uniforms with complimenting golden accents.

that's when your eyes captured the acquainted figure of their leader - manjiro sano - standing proudly on top of the platform, talking down to his men. his hair was blonde & disheveled, half of which was tied back into a messy ponytail. knotted around his broad shoulders was his uniform jacket, leaving his top half exposed to the bitter night.

you already knew what they were talking about.

apparently, a friend of one of toman's men got into an altercation with osanai, moebius's leader, which resulted in him getting his ass beat, his girlfriend being violated in front of him, the assault on his parents & siblings, & to top it all off, his money being stolen.

but of course, being the guy's friend, the gang member in toman thought it was only right to get revenge - which was exactly what they were planning.

you took a short breath before approaching them, curious eyes teeming over the crowd. quietly, you stood behind the vast gang of men, concealing yourself behind their considerably larger figures as to not give yourself away to them just yet.

"-as you know, our third division captain was recently involved in a serious conflict," toman's great and powerful leader, the invincible mikey, began. "his friend and the leader of moebius got into an argument over something stupid. as a result, pah's friend got the shit beat out of him.

suppressing a scowl, mikey continued, "they raped his girlfriend and stole his money... and if that wasn't enough, they as beat up his parents & siblings, too." despite the raw intensity of the things he was describing, he kept a straight & stoic face, his black eyes trained firmly on his gang.

a series of hushed uproars were heard from the crowd. there were many jeers of disagreement and mumbles of disgust, which reassured you momentarily that you were around mostly good people - or at least half-decent.

toman was ruthless, yes, that much was definitely true. but they had something that most other gangs didn't have; a heart.

toman's leader racked his gaze over them firmly, reminding them of their place. "now, before you all get out of hand - remember, this is pah's fight. he needs to have input on how we act next. and unfortunately, he isn't here with us to make this decision right now."
