-Yuki Pov:

The rain-soaked streets of Tokyo mirrored the turmoil within me as I navigated through the neon-lit labyrinth of Roppongi. Dressed in a black suit and a coat that clung to me like a shroud, I moved with the silent grace that had earned me my notorious reputation. The rhythmic patter of raindrops on the pavement served as a melancholic soundtrack to my thoughts. Another woman lost to the cold grip of the Yakuza's influence. My boss had dispatched me to investigate, to dissect the shadows that concealed the culprits. Roppongi's nightlife buzzed around me, oblivious to the clandestine operation underway. I surveyed the crime scene, noting the subtle details that eluded the untrained eye. Raindrops fallen on the puddles and I couldn't shake the feeling that justice had a heavy price. Infiltrating the world of the Yakuza required finesse and a mind sharper than the blade I carried discreetly. As I delved deeper, a mosaic of alliances and betrayals unfolded. The cold rain mirrored the chill in my veins as I pieced together the puzzle, determined to unveil the puppeteers orchestrating this sinister game. Once I finished observing the crime scene from afar, being hidden by the crowd, an urgent call interrupts my thoughts about the homicide and how I planned to find the killer of the victim. The voice on the other end spoke with authority:

"Our sources indicate a Yakuza meeting tonight. Location: Roppongi. Your mission remains unchanged; infiltrate, gather intel, and leave no room for questions."

I tucked the phone away, my thoughts seamlessly transitioning from the crime scene to the impending mission.

- End of Pov.

"Do your part perfectly and don't mess up everything, is It clear?"

Her boss spoke in authority and Yuki gave a last nod. As she put inside her pocket her phone, the young woman proceeded to approach a bar and to take a drink in. There was a warm atmosphere inside the bar, the smell of alcohol was strong that could penetrate your nostrils. Jazz music was blasting and giving the guests comfort. Yuki took off her hat and put in on her lap when she sat on the chair. She placed her arms crossed on the table and waiting for the barman. Her eyes looked around and were observing every movement of the people inside the place. Yuki wasn't a foolish person, she knew exatly when the danger was in, but for now It seemed that It was all right.

"Can I help you, Miss?"

The soothing voice of the barman interrupted Yuki and with a formal glaze she nodded at the man and requested:

"A Rosemary cocktail please..."

Hearing her request, the barman smiled and left for a short time the woman alone, starting to prepare her drink. As the time passes, Yuki finally drank her cocktail and also paid the man, but when she was literally getting up from the chair, a pair of hands grasped her arms and sat her on her seat again.

"Really? Right now Koko?"

Her eyebrows furrowed and sighed in annoyance. Yuki saw how Kokonoi was grinning and sitting beside her, he wasn't wearing his formal clothes, more a casual style, probaly he was undercover.

"It's been a long time, Shimizu-San. What a coincidence that I found you there!"

The white,long haired guy softly chuckled and patted Yuki's shoulder, and his tone of voice was joyful and teasing. He was glad that he met his colleague after many years. He ordered a gin tonic and started drinking it after.

"It's been many years, yet you still didn't changed, dear.."

Yuki raised an eyebrow and replied to his speech and curiously asked at Kokonoi:

"You did, but your smirky and annoying grin didn't changed at all.....ahh...why are you here,Koko?"

The young man stayed quiet for a couple of seconds until he found an answer.
