Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 44

~*Two Days ago.*~

Johnny finally had Kyouki to himself and wanted to fill her in on what happened the day they had crippled the Sons, again. When he was setting up down at the marina he happened to overhear some folks running their mouths about the Oyabun.

"It wasn't just rumors that they banished Shogo to the States, he was sent here. And the Oyabun's Second, a guy named Jyunichi Jiro."

"What's he doing here then?"

"Didn't hear that one, but it happened maybe like a year after when you went down." Johnny also stated that Kazuo was fed up with the bullshit Shogo was doing. "And something about a sin that tore a notable family from their side?" Johnny shrugged. "Shogo kept fucking up and fucking up. He did nothing but blew money on women, drugs, and gambling. The Oyabun was done with clean-up and covering for thelil'shit who wore his nerves down. Fed up with his "idiot" child sent him away to "grow up"."

Kyouki squinted. "You were hanging out with the Aunties weren't you?" Johnny smiled and shook his head. "What's with you and the older women?"

"I can't help it if they love me." He grinned. Kyouki just put her head in her hands. "You good? Another headache?"

Kyouki evened her breathing and nodded.

Since then it weighed on Kyouki's mind, when she had gotten the location of where Shogo lived, from Ren, even she had hearsay about the Ronin heir. Coupled with Johnny's rumors, her attitude about it was irritable. Ky didn't want to talk about Shogo, and couldn't care about him. She wasn't feeling well. Kyouki had been dealing with mild headaches, nothing she couldn't deal with. She assumed it was because of all the running around she's been doing.
This particular day she woke up ready to get down to business, she had some thinking to do.

Climbing the stairs to the roof of Purgatory, laying down a mat and figured today was an at home workout.
She needed to decompress and it was a beautiful sunny and clear day out. Ky took a deep breath in and stretched with her arms above her head. She bent to touch her toes. Twisting to the left and right, holding each position that popped vertebrae in her spine. A satisfied groan as she was loosening her muscles she saw that it was so clear, a rare occasion, that as she could see the Tohoku Towers in the distance, it stood out over the skyline from her vantage. She could make out the top floors of the hotel from the roof. Kyouki stood glaring at it, playing with her ponytail. It is home to the Ronin, precisely home to one Shogo Akuji, Leader of Ronin, under the order of his father.

Kyouki sneered. "Why here, of all places?" If Kyouki had to wager why Stilwater, she was just kidding herself, she's bet the reason was clear cut. With a dissatisfied groan, she rubbed her temple. Her headache was coming back. She made her way back down to her office to call in a favor.

~*Tohoku Towers.*~

Guarding the door of the young Ronin leader, stood Jyunichi Jiro, with his arms crossed over his chest. It is already noon and Shogo has yet to awaken for the day.

One of the many Ronin subordinates came shuffling up the hall of the Tower. "Jiro-san, there has been an incident regarding Poseidon's Palace. Someone was firing off of the roof." The young woman bowed her head, not meeting the tall man's eyes.

A grunt from the man had the woman scurry away. The sliding door opened and Jyunichi stepped through. With a sigh, the man looked at his sleeping boss laying with naked women in the tangled sheets from last night's venture. Going to the curtains flung them open, letting the noonday sun in.

A clearing of his throat. There was no movement. He cleared his throat and coughed. Seeing that the young leader was stirring announced the news he had just received. " Akuji-san, sekyuriti jiken ga arimashita. Nani o shitaidesu ka ?"
