DECEMBER | Kakucho Hitto

01

"It's so cool!" Izana quipped as he straightened the uniform. Kakucho sighs out of relief, thinking that Izana appreciated the uniform they created. Not actually created.

Tenjiku's uniform consists of a long red outer coat with the gang's signature yin and yang emblem printed on the backside. Their mottos adorn the sleeves and the rear flap of the uniform. Above the Tenjiku emblem there is the generation (初代, First generation) while underneath is the Kanji for Yokohama (横浜, Yokohama?).

Kakucho smiled as he looked at their uniform. He will be following Izana until the end. Because the day the two of them met, he swear to be with Izana as his friend, as his slave.

"We need members, Izana. We need to-"

"Yes, yes! We need to make our gang stronger. And we need to be a lot." Izana said solemnly. He put on the red coat on his shoulders and grins up at Kakucho. His earrings swayed a she did so.

Kakucho nodded. "Shall we get started?" He asked as he guided Izana out of their so-called hideout.

The Haitani brothers. Ran and Rindou Haitani is famous in Roppongi. Most of the delinquents respects them and look up at them.

Izana decided to rank them as one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Along with Kanji Mochizuki and Shion Madarame. Sanzu Haruchiyo is part of our gang too after he and Mucho left Tokyo Manji Gang. And after being kicked out, Hanma Shuji and Kisaki Tetta also became a part of our gang. Kokonoi Hajime became the Treasure, even of it is forced.

Tokyo Manji Gang.

Izana wanted to fight with them. And with just a few members of the said gang, he knows that Tenjiku will win.

However, Kisaki was the initiator of the formation. He wanted to get revenge on  Manjiro Sano and take over Tokyo Manji Gang. Kakucho always kept his eyes on him. Even if he knows that Izana was jealous of Mikey because of Shinichiro, he still want to protect Izana and the members close to them.

Izana, on the other hand, really wanted to face off with Mikey. He hates that guy with every fiber of his body. He hates how Shinichiro spends more time with him. He also wants the attention Shinichiro always give to Mikey and Emma. But, he was glad that Emma was in good hands.

He often visits Shinichiro on his motorcycle shop and would talk about random things before Shinichiro brings out food to satisfy his hunger. Takeomi is also there sometimes but they would just stare at each other as Shinichiro kept talking. He's Shinichiro's friend so he's harmless. He knows about Wakasa and Benkei too, they're the former members of Black Dragons. But, Shinichiro decided to disband it.

Izana met Mikey once. He can say that he's childish, whiny, annoying and the look in his eyes always interests him. It is like whenever you are trying to riled him up, his piercing pitch black eyes changes, a cold, empty gaze that sends a shiver down your spine.

Izana never wanted  to acknowledge Mikey as his brother. He likes Emma and Shinichiro more and he don't know why. Maybe, because Mikey and him weren't meant to get together as brothers or even friends. He likes to call Mikey his 'rival' more.

"Izana, you're spacing -" He cut Kakucho off by raising up a his index finger. He's glad Kakucho is beside him. Izana thanks all of the Gods out there for giving him a chance to meet Kakucho. Kakucho is like his brother, his friend. And even if he called him 'slave', he knows that deep inside his evil heart that Kakucho is more than that.

It's cringe to say but Kakucho was his peanut butter to his jelly.

"Haitani's?" He speaks up and everyone  turned to face the both brothers who is currently situated on one of the steps of the spiral stair.

"Got it, boss!" Ran grins widely. He twirled his braided hair using his baton. They were just talking about the plan to defeat Toman.

He scanned the room and his gaze landed on Koko who's quietly watching them in the corner. He's the most quiet and reliable member of Tenjiku. Koko and his childhood friend parted ways. Izana and Kakucho doesn't know if they would feel bad. They still have a heart after all but they need Koko.

Before they face Tokyo Manji Gang, Izana visited Shinichiro. He stands still in front of the shop, he watches as Shinichiro clean a motorcycle with a smile on his face. But it faded when he glanced at something on the counter. He walked closer to the glass walls, hoping that he could see it.

Izana bit his lower lip as he watched as Shinichiro caressed a family picture. Izana was there, beside Mikey, and even if it's photoshopped, he feels like he was stab on the chest. It actually hurts seeing Shinichiro's lips curve but his eyes shows longing and sadness and maybe even loneliness.

He once told Izana that it is his dream to run the motorcycle shop with Mikey and Izana. He was furious that time. Why would Mikey be always there?!

He clenched his fist and his eyes widened when he saw a tear drop on the picture.

He left the place as soon as possible. He doesn't want Shinichiro to see him wearing such expressions he could not even accept.

Kakucho know Izana more than anyone else. So, when he saw Izana barged inside their hideout with his quivering fists and lips, he knows that something is wrong.

He immediately called Kisaki and Hanma to the hideout. Kakucho stays beside Izana as the latter talks to the two. Once again, Izana made Kisaki explain the plan and why. They were confuse as to why he would question it when he said just days ago that the plan is great and they will definitely win.

Ran clicks his tongue loudly as he watch the scene, his brother was next to him. Sanzu and Mucho were on the other side and Mochi and Shion were on the back. The tension was very visible and even if Kakucho don't want to admit it. He knows that there is something that is making Izana want to cancel the fight.

Kisaki grins mischievously. He's smart and Kakucho narrowed his eyes as he stared at the two. He does not trust Kisaki. And his motives were obvious that even Ran lifts and eyebrow while listening to his very smart reasoning.

And when Kisaki finished talking, he can feel Izana's rage again. Those expressions vanished and he thought that maybe he asked for Kisaki to recall the plan, so he won't go vulnerable.

Because Kakucho knows that it is because of Shinichiro.
