Golden Eyes, Silver Control

Talking

'Hey, Overhaul hasn't come out of his room in a while... Is Mini-Boss okay?'

'Okay, first of all, Takano, Mini-Boss? Really?'

'He doesn't want me to call him Boss. Doesn't think he's worthy of the title or something. Now is he okay?'

'He just found out what's been happening with Eri.' Mizuno answered. 'Hasn't left his room since.'

'Oh dang. You think Kurono's with him?'

'Most likely.'

Kai gave his phone to Eri, 'If an unknown number calls me, give it back immediately. But if it has a contract name, give it to Fat. But for now, you can play some games okay?'

'Okay!' She smiled. 'Niki! Papa gave me his phone c'mere!'

'Coming!'

Niki and Eri played the games had for when work was slow, while Kai and Hari went upstairs so they could talk alone about the whole Mercenary thing.

'So, how long have you been killing for him.'

'I'd like to say... Four years? Seven if you count the Hassaikai.'

'You became a Mercenary someone who kills for money, when you THIRTEEN?!'

'I never said I wanted to. Father thought it'd be a good idea to scare off enemies if his Thirteen-year-old daughter was able to-'

'Daughter?'

'Did you seriously forget I was raised as a female?'

'I never knew you were. I always just assumed you liked having long hair and wearing makeup so I never really questioned it.' Hari explained.

Kai paused, 'See this is why I love you. Anyway, he thought it'd be a - And I quote - 'Power move' on other Yakuza groups.'

'Wait he actually said Power move?'

'My father mixed in all kinds of slang into his speech. It was very awkward.'

'Sounds cringe.' Hari smirked.

'No!' Hari burst out laughing. 'No! Don't you start! Don't you dare!'

'Sorry Angel, I love you.'

Kai sighed, 'Whatever.'

'Papa.'

'Hm, yes Eri?' Kai asked.

She handed him his phone, which was vibrating. 'Unknown number.'

'Oh thank you.' It wasn't unknown. Not to him anyway. 'Yes? My charges? Oh, you're still looking for those? Uh yeah, gimme a sec.'

'Kai.' Hari whisper-yelled, 'What are you doing?'

'Trust me,' He whispered back. 'Uh, in the recent past my rates have raised substantially. I actually charge 5 million yen per person I kill. I know, it's crazy but hey, I'm a popular market. I have to be sure I'm being paid by only the best.'

'Are you crazy!? We'll never ask for you again! We'll make sure no one else does either!

Kai hung up, 'That's the point.' He then looked at Hari with a: 'And you doubted me' look in his eyes.

'Okay okay, you're right. Thanks, Angel.'

'Well, how am I supposed to lead a normal life-'

'Kai, our only friends are pro heroes, we are known yakuza, you're related to Terugo Chisaki, and I'm the last of my bloodline. Our lives are anything but normal.'

'Fair enough. Let me rephrase that. How am I supposed to lead a semi-normal life if I have random ass Yakuza groups and sometimes Italian Mafia groups calling for an Assassin?'

'I'm sorry the Italian Mafia?!'

'I have had a very strange life.'
