Author's note: REVISED


My first mission—that's something that makes me feel excited and anxious at the same time. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, but I'm glad that Yuri trusts me enough to want me with him on this mission.

"What is it?" I ask curiously.

"We are going to retrieve a necklace." He says and shows me an image of a necklace with a dragon that goes around the neck. "The ancient Yakuza, who have worn it for generations, stole it during World War Two." My great-grandmother was the last to wear it, and it recently surfaced in a nightclub owned by one of the most powerful men in Tokyo. "He hates me because I turned down his daughter, and now that she appears wearing that necklace, it's clearly to cause war between the two families." He says while drinking

"And what are we going to do?"

"Well, I'm a spoiled brat who loves shiny things, so I want my necklace back, and I hate seeing it around the neck of some whore." I'm going to have a not-so-pleasant conversation with that family, reminding them who holds the most power. It will be like a warning for the rest. I don't mind people talking shit about me, but disrespecting me like that, it's something I can't tolerate."

"I'm with you." I say

"Good, because this time it's just the two of us in a very luxurious nightclub in the middle of Tokyo. I need to ask; things might get a little touchy; rich boys think they can have their way with anyone just by waving some money at them; it's disgusting."

"I think I can take care of myself with that; there's nothing about pouring a few cups of water in their face that isn't going to solve."

"Yes, please do that!" He says, "This is going to be fun—dangerous but fun; do you know how to ride a motorcycle, by the way?"

"I didn't have time to learn any of that." I say this thinking about how Hia promised he would teach me.

"Two days isn't enough time, so we'll work on that later. Trust me, we are going to shake everything down and get that necklace back."

"Can I ask you something?" He nods, "I don't want to be disrespectful, but I always wanted to know, do you have any tattoos like the Yakuza did?" He smiles at me.

"You know, it's strange that it took you so long to ask. I don't have all of my back tattooed like my father, but I have a small dragon in my upper back. Do you want to get a tattoo?"

"I don't know. It's strange; it's something that stays in your body forever." Maybe one day, but not now."

"Right now we should go to sleep; you train tomorrow, and I have the work from the past days all piled up."

"I'll help you in the afternoon, no worries." He smiles at me, and we go to our rooms.

I'm nervous. I try to look strong because I know Yuri needs me, but I still get pretty nervous with people touching me. I won't panic anymore, but I'll feel really uncomfortable. Regardless, I trust Yuri. I know he wouldn't put me in a place where I couldn't get out alive.

I answer Hia's message, and then I call P'Kim and Matteo. They always tried to be free at this time of the day so we could talk, and even if they didn't sleep, they could lay down a bit with me, and I really appreciate them doing that. There was something in my mind lately, and I was a little embarrassed by the thought, but I think today was the day I would talk with them about it. I believe I need this conversation. Having Macau here has made me miss them even more. I miss their touch, their silly fights, sleeping amongst them, and the sensation of their hands exploring my body. I was lonely and slightly envious of Macau and Yuri—not bad envy, just normal envy.
