Toman's Little Sister

43 | Falling Stars

You dug your foot into the final Tenjiku members back, your teeth gritted. "Tell. Me. Where."

Takemichi felt a chill down his spine and Angry looked over at him, his head tilted. "You didn't hear her before? 'The only thing worse than a strong man is a pissed off woman.' It's something the entire gang is reminded of."

"Every month." Chifuyu added.

You looked up and your eyes lit up. "Chifuyu!" He chuckled a bit. "Wow, you beat all these people up for me?"

"In your dreams. Who did you fight?"

"Mocchi. I know the name doesn't sound like much, but-"

"I know him." You interrupted. You were in strategist mode, and it was clear when your face went completely stoic. "I don't know a whole lot about Tenjiku since they seem pretty new. But I know that he's one of the more powerful members. He used to be part of a different gang before."

Smiley nodded. "We lost to him once. He's a pretty strong guy."

"That being said, Tenjiku seems to be sending out their strongest right away, since I haven't seen any feebles out on the streets yet."

"You seem to know Tenjiku enough." Yamagishi said. "Is there anything we should know of?"

You nodded. "If you see a guy with dangling earrings and bleached white hair, run." You turned to the twins. "Find out where Tenjiku's operating. When you do, tell me. Try to do it as soon as possible. I need to go."

"We can bring you."

"No, it's fine. It's a personal matter."

You placed a picture of Mocchi from the newspaper next to Izana's, as well as a picture of Madarame from a few years ago, and then connected to three pictures of the Haitani Brothers. "I don't have any definite proof that Yasuhiro is part of Tenjiku. It might just be a big misunderstanding."

That, or I'm right on the nose.

"It kind of lines up with when Kisaki was fired, right?" You opened your door. "Mom, what's the date today?!"

"February 12!"

Your eyes widened. February 12th? That's the date today? "Th-Thanks!"

You looked back at your bulletin board, getting back to the topic. "How long does it take to form a gang? A month?" Toman's made plenty of enemies that wouldn't dare to fight it. Maybe this is just a big retaliation against us.

Your phone began to ring and you picked up. "Hello? Ah, Smiley. Have you found the hideout?" You pulled out a map of Yokohama that you had printed not long ago, listening to Smiley's report. "Mhm... got it. Thanks!" He hung up and you ripped off that part of the map and placed it next to Izana.

But you didn't put down your phone yet, and you called Mitsuya, only not to get an answer. "Okay... he never ignores my calls." Then, you call Hakkai. "Hey, is Tsu-chan with you? ...No?" That's weird... too weird. "Wait, I just remembered where he is! Thanks!"

You hung up and walked downstairs. "Mom, can I borrow your bus card for a minute?"

"Oh, yeah, sure. Why?"

"Remember the lavender haired guy that I used to hang out with?" You opened the front door. "I have a small appointment."

You searched around the entirety of Kanagawa. "Seventeen emergency calls." You recited, finally getting off at your last stop before heading home. "Twenty four locations." From what I gathered, there's at least 300 members. Overall, four notable members: Haitani Brothers, Mocchi, and Madarame.
