Raised by Lions

Chapter 40

Legosi hadn't gotten into any trouble for the fight onstage, Gosha and the other four just wanted to know what it was about. They could tell a real fight from a staged one easily, despite most of the crowd having been convinced.

He just mentioned that Bill was a little high on blood and lost his discretion because of jealousy. Other than that, it hadn't been a problem.

Over the course of the weekend, Legosi went with Gosha and the others to several meetings where deals were made and conditions were placed. It was awfully boring to the wolf, but he paid attention for when he had to take over in the future.

His brothers had taken full advantage of having him back for the two days to do all sorts of things. They had been to a nearby bar for drinks both Friday and Saturday night, were practicing their shooting skills over beers by a bonfire on Sunday night and had been chasing each other down on motorcycles through their territory just for some fun.

It had been Saturday night, just before Legosi joined the others at the bar, that he'd stopped for a snack at a chicken vendor and happened to be within earshot of an Okami member. He was on the edge of Dokugumi territory, so it wasn't an uncommon thing, however the conversation was.

"You're that kid with the Dokugumi, right?" The wolf asked. He was lanky and wore grey slacks and a button up shirt. He didn't look like much, but Legosi recognized him anyway. He didn't know the guy's name yet though.

"Who's asking?" Legosi asked, ordering a chicken kebab from the vendor. Said vendor was looking at the other guy like he was insane for casually just talking to Legosi.

"Just my boss. He's interested in you, has been ever since our first Turf War," The wolf spoke. Legosi raised an eyebrow at him, only looking away to take the kebab from the vendor.

"Tell him I'm not interested," Legosi casually said, finishing the kebab and getting back on his motorcycle. "You don't even know what I was going to say!" The other yelled. Legosi tilts his head in a sarcastic manner, before replying, "You were going to try and talk me into joining you lot. It was written all over your overly expressive face, pretty boy. No thanks." And with that, Legosi was off to join his brothers at the bar.

They shared a laugh over that interaction later that night. Legosi found normal wolves were very expressive with their faces and tails and it made for an easily readable target.

Louis was having a relaxing weekend. He'd only needed to struggle up those stairs with the crutches once on Friday night, before Agata decided that wasn't going to cut it.

Ever since then, either Agata, Free or Dope would just carry him around, and despite how indignant Louis acted over being carried like a child, it secretly reminded him of when he was younger and the lions would randomly just pick him up and carry him to places. He'd never understood why, but that didn't change the fact that he enjoyed it as a child.

They would carry him to the kitchen or dining room for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, all while his crutches lay forgotten about in his room. They would then carry him to the living room, where they'd just hang out, play card games or video games and enjoy some time together. When midnight rolled around, one of them would carry him back to his room and leave him to his night routine in peace.

Work that weekend was low, so Louis had at least four lions in the room with him at all times and at least one of them leaning against him.

At some point on Saturday afternoon, Sabu had carried him outside into the garden for a beer and a smoke 'and some fresh air' Sabu had claimed.
