Chapter 11: Blizzard

Rindou: "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!"

Ran quickly rebuckled his pants and rushed to his brother side, pushing him outside and locking the door.

Ran: "Listen to me, you need to keep your mouth shut."

Rindou: "I saw that woman at the window when I came to pick you up, Ran that's Mikey's wife you were just screwing!"

Ran: "Ok keep your voice down, I can explain"

Rindou: "I somehow highly doubt it but by all means, the floor is yours."

Ran: " .. I love her"

Rindou facepalmed. He knew his brother was an idiot but not in a million years would he believe him to be THIS stupid.

Ran: "You saw her, come on.. i couldn't resit it. And she's so.. I can't even begin to explain the things she makes me feel. Tell me you won't say anything, you CAN'T say anything."

Rindou: "Of course I can't, he'll fucking kill you.
But this gotta stop. Now!"

Ran: "I can't just.."

Rindou: "NOW! Imagine if Sanzu would ve walked in, or Kakucho, or MIKEY!"

Ran: "I know but-"

Rindou: "Send her home. "

Rindou shoved his brother and made his way to the elevator feeling a migraine creeping in.
Ran on the other hand just came back inside his office to give you some ease.

Ran: "No need to panic, that was my brother, he won't rat on us."

He pulled you in his arms and held you so tight that you feared he might actually break something.

Y/n: "Are you sure?"

Ran: "I'm sure.. but you gotta go now. I'm sorry, my love"

Your eyes started to tear up again as you were clinging on his shirt for dear life but you understood that for now, it was simply to dangerous for you to stay so after another long kiss you once again said goodbye to your lover, promising yourself that this will be the last time because nothing could stop you anymore from doing what you had to do, what you believed to be the only key to your happiness.

Mikey had to die.

You didn't know how but it had to be done.

You swore yourself to never get involved into this kind of shit, shit that Mikey does, shit that you've always hated.

Criminal life wasn't for you, and if it weren't for Ran you'd never stoop so low but.. you loved him more than your beliefs.

And it's not like you'd become a full on crime lord, it's just one tiny murder and that's it.. no biggie.

Just this once.

While halfway home you spotted from the corner of your eye a car that seemed oddly familiar.

It wasn't Mikey's.. wasn't Ran's, but for sure was following you at least for the past 5 streets..

You picked up the pace, and took some random turns, searching for a store to walk into but this wasn't a commercial area so it was mostly houses.

"Shit"

You kept taking turns, almost running at this point, looking over your shoulder every few seconds to make sure you lost whoever that was.

After some time you were finally able to stop and catch your breath.

No more car.

Maybe it wasn't even following you, maybe what you are set to do is making you feel paranoid all of a sudden.

Yeah.. that sounds more likely.

You slapped a palm over your forehead chuckling to yourself at the thought.

When you opened your eyes again your gaze was met by a pair of cold distant aquamarine eyes that were up to no good.

You opened your mouth to yell but it was too late as Sanzu's gun barell made contact with your head faster than your words could escape.

He just stood there grinning as your body fell limp on the ground.

You weren't dead, of course.. just knocked out.

//

Ran was still a mess after the brief interaction he had with you.

He missed you so much it affected his ability to think, to be smart, to not get himself killed.

You were driving him mad without even being present and it was starting to show..

He wanted to break everything in sight but before he ever finished contemplating that thought a series of hard knocks on the door caught his attention .

Ran: "Koko I'm busy, get lost!"

Kokonoi pushed the door open and smiled sheepishly.

Koko: "How did you even know it was me?"

Ran: "You're the only one who knocks"

Koko: "Ah, why am i not surprised. Anyway, have some papers for me?"

Ran: "Papers? What fucking papers?"

Koko: "Mikey said your girlfriend dropped them earlier, the new contracts? Have you signed them?"

Ran squinted his eyes trying to understand what was this man talking about..

And then it hit him.

Ran: "Wait, mikey EXPLICITLY said he asked my GIRLFRIEND to bring me the papers?"

Kokonoi blinked and nodded in confusion.

Koko: "Yeah, that's exactly what I said. Why are you being weird? Are you drunk again?!"

Ran: "FUCK!"

Koko: "WHAT IS GOING ON?!"

Ran: "MOVE!"

Koko refused to let Ran pass, propting himself between him and the door.

Koko: "Oh nono, you're not going anywhere until I have those papers sign, I need them YESTERDAY! You're losing me money here!"

Ran: "Koko.. so help me god, if you do not move you will lose so much more than fucking money"

Ran flared his nostrils but Kokonoi refused to be intimidated, causing Ran to het inventive, lifting him off the ground like a ragdoll and placing him out of the way before making a run for it.

He was way too scared for your life and frankly, his own, to simply wait for the elevator so he, for the first time, took the stairs, running in a frenzy.

He needed to tell you to run, to do anything BUT go home.

If Mikey knew the truth nowhere was safe but.. he had to try at least so he pulled his phone out and started searching for your contact.

Took a few seconds to remember that he impulsively deleted your number.

"Fuck"

- "All good Roppongi? You look oddly distraught"

Confused, Ran lifted his eyes from the phone screen only to be met with the most horrific sight he had ever encountered.

He dropped his phone while the color slowly drained from his face.

Sanzu stood there grinning, absolutely savouring Ran's reaction.

Sanzu: "Follow me inside, people are staring.. Geez, it's like they've never seen a guy carrying a dead body before, I swear to god. PRIVACY PEOPLE, THANK YOUUU!"
