Taking place seven years after the epilogue of Rain's story, Sora and Kiri are turning ten soon. However, peace can't last forever in the SWORD district. Soon the Hoodlum Squad of the Sannoh Streets find their territory overrun by a mysterious new g...
The ceremony was to been intimate and sweet. Yamatos garage had been set up like a little chapel of sorts. All the bikes and equipment had been moved to the far walls and foldable chairs has been placed in the middle of the floor.
Outside all of SWORDs vehicles had outlined a large half circle enclosing the garage, as a type of reception type space. A few foldable tables had been set up, in case anyone wanted to stay for beer, wine and cake.
Rain was actually surprised at the amount of representation from the SWORD gangs came. Every leader was there. The Rude Boys and Oya School were the first to show.
While Maryuama was no longer leader, the invention had fallen into the hands of Fujio, who was all to eager to attend, behind him trailed another boy with blond hair who looked much less thrilled to be there and another shorter brown haired boy who looked completely nervous and anxious to be there.

"So this is whose running Oya High now?" Cobra had greeted them as the boys walked in. "Ahh Cobra-san it's a pleasure to meet you," the nervous boy greeted a bit all to loud and did one of the deepest bows Rain had ever seen and then just stayed there. Cobra not used to being greeted in such a way could only chuckle, look away and dismiss the action of the anxious teenager with a lazy wave of the hand.
The tallest boy grabbed his friend by the collar, lifted him up and dragged him back behind him. "This is Jamuo and that's Tsukasa," Fujio indicated to the blond standing on his left, to which Tsukasa just nodded his head in greeting as Cobra responded the same.
"Make yourselves comfortable," Nika walked up behind Cobra, "Cobra I need to talk with you. There's a little problem, Kohaku-san isn't here yet," she pulled him a side as the three boys were left to wonder around the garage.
"Ahhh look at this cake!" Fujio ran up to the table where a two tiered cake was sitting. It was nothing fancy just white frosting with a pretty trim and the initials N and Y surrounded by a heart on the top. Still it was probably the biggest and prettiest cake he'd had ever seen.
The temptation was to much as he reached his finger out, "just a taste won't hurt anyone?" His hand was suddenly smacked away by a cane. "Ouch," he shook out his hand and looked up to see three men all in white giving him a very stern stare.
"Where are your manners, you're at a wedding not some cookout," they unwrapped their arm from the other man's they were holding on to and stepped in front of the cake. Tsukasa slapped his friend on the shoulder giving him an annoyed but amused look.
"Back back," they shooed the boys away with their perfectly glittered manicured nails before returning to the other man's arm, "I'm telling ya, young people these days just don't know how to act at events like these. Let's go get a drink," as they dragged their partner away leaving the man who had struck Fuijo's hand with his cane alone.
"Hello Rocky," Rain approached the leader of the White Rascals. She handed him the extra drink she had, "Not as fancy as I know your used to but I did my best. How have you been?" Rocky took a long sip before placing the glass down, "Well, the new club is up and running, you should stop by sometime, Crystal." Rocky made to leave before he was caught off balance by small arms wrapping around his waist.
"Uncle Rocky! You came!" Rocky looked down to see Kiri's eyes staring back at him. While Rocky still considered Rain his adoptive sister, his attitude was more dismissive when she'd had first announced she was going back to live with the Rude Boys and back to her real name, Rain.
He never admitted to anything but Rain figured he might have seen it as a kind of betrayal after all he had protected her like family for over 5 years. Rocky still called her Crystal and so did the rest of the Rascals and Club Haven. She didn't mind it though, her head would still turn instinctively at the name anyways.
It wasn't until Sora and Kiri came along that he started to warm back up to her as a sister. Still she sometimes found a strange air about them when they met. He still always held a soft spot for his adopted niece and nephew. The Rude Boys were wary of this, but so far had done nothing about it.
Rocky used his free hand to unwrap the young girls arms from around his waist as he knelt down to her level. "How's my little Misty?" "Great! Do you like my dress?" It was only a very plain hunter green short sleeve dress, but she still gave a little twirl. "Its very pretty, where's Sky?" "Over there," before he could stand back up she had grabbed his hand and started to pull him over to where her brother was. Luckily he was just poking around the old motorcycles. If he had been with the Rude Boys Rocky would have made an excuse to go anywhere else.
Rain smiled, at least when it came to the twins Rocky lifted any awkward air around them. She made to follow when her attention was directed toward the loud purr of engines as three lowride convertibles pulled up to the garage. As usual riding on the center vehicle's hood was Daruma Ikka's leader, Hyuga.
In the back of the other two cars, driven by Ukyo and Sakyo,were an impressive amount of fireworks. Rain watched as Hyuga jumped off the hood, "Kato, Sakyo, Ukyo, unpack the party favors."
Tettsu ran past Rain, "Hey, what is all this?" He waved at all the fireworks Daruma Ikka was unloading. "We can't light these off here, did you see how narrow this street is!?" "Relax its fine," Ukyo slapped the large firework he had just placed down. Hyuga's face lit up in a grin, "Its practically a festival and if I say its fine we're doing it." Hyuga patted Tettsu on the shoulder as he nonchalantly walked past and into the garage.
Sakyo noticed Rain staring, "Hey, wanna help us?" Asking more of a joke than a request. "Nah looks like you got it under control," She lifted her glass in salute, grabbed Rockys abandoned glass and made her way back towards her twins, who were now getting the chance to sit on Rocky's trike.
It was interesting ambiance that settle into the small area. The gangs were acting friendly enough but keeping to their own people. "Its weird that it's this that gets all the gang leaders together again," P commented on the unique guest situation as he took a look around the garage. "I think it's great," Lala chimed up. "There hasn't really been anything to get the leaders together in a long time and it's good to keep relationships up, right?" She turned to Takeshi for some sort of approval.
"I guess," he flatly responded without taking his eyes off Rain, Rocky and the twins. "Well it seems like a reach to me," P interjected, "Rain," he waved his younger sister over. Rain guided her the twins back towards the other three, "Say thank you to Rocky." "Thank you Uncle Rocky!" the two song in unison as the rushed back to P's side.
Rain noticing P's look as she walked up tried to nip any rudeness in the bud, "Relax," she whispered under her breath, "It's fine he was just showing them his bike not trying to recruit them or anything." "Still, I don't like." "Just let it go, okay?" Before she could continue they were interrupted by a motorcycles horn.
Capturing everyones attention, Dan had beeped his bike's horn to get everyones attention before gesturing towards the stairs that led from the main apartment to the garage area where Nika was standing. "Were ready," She lightly pressed the play botton on the cd player. Eyes shifted towards the top of the stairs where Naomi gracefully made her way down.
She was wearing a simple white dress with a white lace overlay and jean jacket with calf high black leather biker boots. Her eyes locked on Yamato's but also was scanning the small assembly, Rain could tell she was looking for someone.
Naomi got half way down the stairs when a loud roar of motorcycle engines made everyone turn heads back towards the garage entrance. Two motorcycles drove right into the garage, everyone moving a side as they did.
The two turned off and dismounted their bikes as the taller of the two took off his sunglass revealing his heterochromia eyes that beamed up towards Naomi. "Who said you could start without us?"
