Viper (Tokyo Rvengers Story)

26 One Hell of a Slap

October 21, 2005

Once Yūki got to the old supermarket, he quickly checked his back pocket to make sure something was there. After making sure that it was secured, he slammed open the doors and walked inside.

A large group of teenage boys that gathered toward the middle of the store all looked up at the sudden slam of doors. The leader of the group stood up with a deranged smile etched on his face. "Looks like we didn't have to look for him at all boys."

"I knew you and your gang would still be here, Rokuda." Yūki stalked forward, never taking his eyes off of Rokuda. "You were always obsessed with this place..."

Rokuda took out his switchblade, signaling the others to do the same. "If you knew we were here, why'd you come?" He pointed his knife at Yūki. "You got a death wish or just fuckin' stupid?"

Yūki stayed quiet as he watched everyone form a small circle around him, essentially trapping him. With a small smile, he made eye contact with Rokuda. "Unlike last time, I'm actually prepared." Yūki reached into his back pocket and pulled out a pistol, aiming it at Rokuda. "So, I'd suggest you listen before I blow your brains out."

Everyone froze as they stared at the gun pointed at their leader. How did Yūki even get a gun? Was he actually going to shoot Rokuda or was he just joking?

Rokuda tensed as he looked past the gun at Yūki. Though his face was emotionless, his eyes told Rokuda all that he needed to know.

Rokuda unconsciously took a step back. 'Is he really gonna kill me?! He's bluffing, right?!'

"You see, going after me is one thing," Yūki took a set forward, making Rokuda go back. "But you went after my brother... And I just can't leave that unpunished, now can I?"

A few of Rokuda's followers looked ready to save their leader, but with how close Yūki was to him, they were afraid that he'd be dead by the time they got there.

Rokuda continued to stare down at Yūki, too afraid to take his eyes off the short teen. 'Shit, he's really gonna kill me!' Those were the only words going through Rokuda's head as he looked down the barrel of the gun.

"But..." Yūki lowered his gun with a sigh. "Like the nice person I am, I'll let you pick. I can either shoot you here and now, or you and your group can work for me under your old boss."

As he aimed the gun back at Rokuda, the doors to the supermarket once again slammed open. A scowl instantly made its way onto Yūki's face as he heard four pairs of footsteps come from behind him. He didn't even have to look back to know who was who as two people came rushing over to him.

"See, I told you we knew where he was going." Ran said with an obnoxious smirk as he tried to take in the scene in front of him.

Everyone but Rokuda and Yūki looked toward the new voices. Many in Rokuda's group started backing away when they saw not only the Haitani's but also the elusive Reaper.

Yūki angrily cocked his pistol and put the gun under Rokuda's neck. "Ignore them and answer my fucking question. That is, unless you want me to choose." Yūki growled, making everyone turn their attention back to them.

"Fuck, are they with Viper?!"

"I don't know man, the fuck are we gonna do?! He's gonna kill Tomo!"

"Shit, are we gonna die next?!"

"How'd he even get a fucking gun?!"

The group began panicking as the Haitanis, Hanma, and Kisaki got closer to them.

"Fine! Fine, well join you, just please put the gun down!!" Rokuda suddenly screamed, tears daring to fall as he stared into Yūki's eyes.

Yūki stayed still for a moment as everyone looked at the almost crying Rokuda. "See that wasn't so hard, was it?" Yūki smiled as he brought down the gun, only to drop it instantly. "Now scram, I'll have Hideki call you soon."
