Trouble Loves Company (Remake)

The fate of a Yellow Scarf.

Masaomi laid in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He rolled over with a moan, wondering what to do.  If Izaya told the truth, then Mikado was in danger. Should he send a message to Mikado warning him, or go see him face to face? Masaomi sighed, and decided it was best to speak with Mikado face to face. He grabbed his white sweater and put on some shoes. He then wrote a note to Saki he was going to go speak with Mikado, and will be back in a few days maybe, and left the note on the nightstand by her bed before leaving.

By the time he he reached Ikebukuro, the sky was a dark black.  A full moon hung over the city, adding some almost ethereal light to the dark city. Oddly the streets were quiet. Usually there would be people out no matter the time of day or night. Most likely everyone was scared of Deadwolv. Granted, Masaomi was also scared. But he had to see if Mikado was okay. As he walked slowly down the streets, he began to realize his footsteps weren't the only sound. There was a faint sound of footsteps following him. He decided to quicken his pace, but whoever was following him sped up as well.

He tried his best to ignore it.  But his mind began to race with thoughts. What if it is Deadwolv? Or someone else planning on mugging or killing me? Or, what if it is Minato... He worried. One thing Izaya had gotten right, was Minato was blackmailing Masaomi. Masaomi had learned Minato was a Shiroi, and tried to kick him out of the yellow scarves. But the punk made it very clear crossing him was a bad idea. He had told Masaomi if anything happened to him, or if he was exposed as a Shiroi, he had special friends who would visit Masaomi's friend Mikado. Not only would Mikado be murdered, but his men would also kidnap Saki and sell her on the black market. So for now Masaomi had to bide his time and find a way to get rid of Minato without risking his friend's safety.

But, it was becoming clear to Masaomi why Minato wanted to be in the gang. He was planning on overthrowing Masaomi, maybe even kill him. Then take his place, and use the Yellow Scarves to help the Shirois. Masaomi couldn't allow that. There had to be a way to get rid of Minato, without it ending badly. As Masaomi continued, his mind filled with worries, he heard something. "You Kida Masaomi?" a cold dark voice asked him. "Who wants to know..." Masaomi's eyes widened as he turned around to see who was talking.

Standing before him was Deadwolv. "Shit." Was all Masaomi could say, as he froze with fear. Deadwolv looked him up and down, much like a predator examining its prey. "I'll take your silence as a yes. Am a tad surprised the leader of a gang is a kid." Deadwolv said walking closer to him. Masaomi stepped back out of reflex and fear. Suddenly Deadwolv reached out and grabbed Masaomi by his shirt and pulled him closer. "I have some questions. And it is in your best interest to answer them honestly." Deadwolv said, his hypnotic blue eyes seemingly staring into Masaomi's very soul.

Masaomi tried to remain calm, and not show too much fear. "Now, I have two questions. One. where does your gang meet up? " Deadwolv asked, holding his index finger, or claw up. Masaomi looked at him puzzled. "Why?" He asked. Deadwolv smirked. "I have some trash to clean up among your gang." Was his response. Masaomi assumed he meant Minato. But was worried he may mean the entire gang. "I, rather not say." Masaomi said, worried how Deadwolv react. "Relax kid. I won't harm your friends. Just one of them. The one who works for the Shirois. He is hard to find, but since he is one of your men, all I have to do is wait at your hideout." Deadwolv said, almost as if he was trying to reassure Masaomi. Though Deadwolv's words seemed to be reassuring, his tone seemed nervous. It reminded Masaomi almost of a crackhead going through withdrawals. The tone shaky, and words almost halting.

Masaomi was tempted to tell Deadwolv. But, he hesitated. If anything happened to Minato, and the Shiroi's knew Masaomi was to blame. Mikado and Saki would suffer. "I can't tell you." Masaomi said. Deadwolv glared at him then threw Masaomi to the ground hard. He then stepped onto him, holding Masaomi down with his boot. The metal 'talon' attached to his toes slightly cutting into Masaomi's shirt and chest. "And why not? Do you support the Shirois?" He asked. Clearly getting mad. Deadwolv was slowly losing any calm he had left, and looked even more horrifying than an angry Shizuo. "It's not that I swear! It's just, I..." Masaomi was unsure what to say.

~~~As this was happening, unknown to either Deadwolv or Masaomi a teen was nearby watching, and recording the encounter with his phone. The video was being live streamed to the Dollars' chat with the caption "Deadwolv is attacking a yellow scarf".~~~

Deadwolv glared. His eyes then seemed to flash a fiery red for a moment. Not like Saika, but like actual burning fire. Masaomi's eyes widened in fear. Deadwolv knelt down, though still keeping his boot firmly on Masaomi's chest.  "Look kid. Don't be stupid. Just tell me. I really don't want to have to kill you..." Deadwolv said the last part so softly Masaomi barely heard it.  Masaomi looked away, too scared if he told, Mikado would suffer. The killer sighed,  then grabbed Masaomi's arm with his right hand. "Your bones are thin, and very little muscle." He said calmly, before pulling the arm hard, dislocating Masaomi's shoulder. Masaomi cried out in pain. "Now, tell me where your gang meets up. Or I pull the arm off completely." Deadwolv said, still holding the arm firmly.

Tears formed in Masaomi's eyes. "Please. I can't tell you. Or they will kill my friend." He begged softly. Deadwolv looked at him. "And you care for this friend so much you are willing to die for them?" He asked coldly. Masaomi looked away unsure what to say. "So be it." Was all Deadwolv said, before Masaomi felt an ungodly pain in his arm, and heard a tearing sound. He screamed as loud as he could, till the tearing stopped.

~~~The teen watching turned away in horror, dropping his phone as he ran. But the phone kept recording, and streaming to the Dollars chat. Since the phone was facing down, all it captured was the sounds of tearing, and Masaomi screaming.~~~

Mikado was home when he got the alert a video was being streamed on the Dollars site. He opened the page and watched, realizing what was happening. And that it was none other than Masaomi being killed. His eyes widened and filled with tears, as he ran to the bathroom and began puking from the horrific sight he just witnessed.
