"You three are taking the girls to see Kazutora." Mikey leans back in his chair as Ran, Rindou, and Sanzu stand in front of him.

"May I ask why we have to go? Koko and Kakucho aren't doing anything." Rindou asked.

"Because I said so, I don't trust Benkei and Hanma with them right now. Kakucho and Koko have different assignments today. So that leaves you."

Sanzu clicked his tongue, shoving his hands into his pockets. "No disrespect Mikey, but they haven't exactly been.... pleasant."

Mikey smirked. "Are you scared of them or something?" He chuckled. "You guys have been ignoring each other for weeks now. Didn't I say to settle your petty squabbles?"

The three of them looked at each other. Ran cleared his throat before stepping forward. "Well, those two aren't exactly making it easy."

"So are you saying you can't handle them?"

"No it's not that———"

"Have you ever sat in a room with Nai for longer than five minutes?" Sanzu said, folding his arms. "I swear I was two seconds from blowing my brains out. So yeah—- dealing with them was not on my 'To-do' list today."  Mikey chuckles, picking up his drink.

"No, I'm good. But listen, squash whatever it is you guys have. And quickly. Take them, find out whatever information you can, then come back."

The three of them bowed. "Yes, boss."

Rindou sighed, shutting the door behind them. "This is fuckin ridiculous, we're stuck picking up after that long-necked bitch and Benkei."

"It's not a big deal. We can honestly treat this like a business transaction and call it a day. Ran said, adjusting his tie. "I don't feel like arguing with them at all."

"The faster we go, the faster we get back right?"

"Yup let me shoot Lani a text," Sanzu said, typing away on his phone.

I hope today isn't a shit show." She thought. Nai stretched her arms up as she walked towards her doors.

"Hey, baby girl. Where ya going?"

Nai looked back at Takeomi leaning against the wall. "Out," she states. Continuing to the staircase.

After two weeks, he decided to talk to me. Hmph.

He chuckled watching the way her hips sway side to side beneath her flowy dress. "Nai." He called out, following after her.

She sighed and turned around, seeing what it was he wanted. A gasp left her lips as Takeomi backed her into the wall. She put her hands on his chest as he leaned down to her.

"Now now, is that any way to treat a friend, princess?"

He can't be fucking serious right now.

"I'm sorry, could you say that again? I'm still a little hard of hearing from you screaming at me the other day. Is it okay if I look at you now?"

Takeomi pressed his body against hers, sliding his leg between her thighs. He slid his hand up to her cheek, using his thumb to lift her jaw. He smiled when their eyes met. "I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to yell at both of you. I apologize. And I'm sorry about Kisaki as well, no one knew it was going to go down like that."

Nai scoffed, rolling her eyes."Please, you didn't even stop it."

Takeomi chuckled low, leaning down to her lips. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?"
