The male took off his mask to reveal black doe eyes, a soft pale, and round face with chubby cheeks. He has a lip piercing with wavy brown hair. He smiled at Karina.
"Sugiura, Fumiya Sugiura is my name and now... You know my face as well"
Karina froze on the spot and she swallowed.
"I, uh..."
Sugiura chuckled softly and took off his hood, his hair was indeed wavy and fluffy.
"Are you okay?"
He asked and Karina cracked a smile.
"Your voice doesn't match your face"
Indeed. Sugiura's voice was rather deep compared to his facial features.
"You don't say? Well, I'll see you around then"
Sugiura pulled out his phone and dialed her number. She heard her phone ring and pulled it out then looked at Sugiura.
"How do you have my number?"
He shrugged and kept that smile on his face.
"It's not hard to check a phone while running, it's not like I hacked it, I hope that's good enough"
Sugiura then brushed passed Karina and left her alone in the alleyway. She felt her heart beating fast and she sighed. She looked behind her to see Sugiura had vanished out of plain sight.
Karina headed back to Yagami's place. As she opened the door, it looked like a massacre inside. Shit was thrown everywhere and the couch was flipped over.
"Oh! Hey Karina!"
Giselle had a tissue against her nose and Karina sighed.
"What happened to you two?"
She asked Kaito and Giselle who exchanged a look.
"Hamura sent his guys over here to look for you and Yagami"
Kaito explained and Karina grabbed a tissue and wiped the blood from her nose.
"Of course he did... they beat the shit out of me"
Kaito chuckled and sat back against Yagami's desk.
"You're telling me but Yagami isn't the type to just back down from something as big as this 'Mole' murderer running around Kamurocho, who knows who his next victim will be"
Karina shifted her gaze over to Giselle who looked rather relieved to see her best friend still alive.
"I think Hamura is covering for the mole..."
Karina said and Giselle tilted her head side to side and chuckled.
"I'd believe it"
Karina chuckled along with Giselle and pulled the couch back to its original position.
"Well, you two hang tight for a few minutes, I've gotta call Yagami"
Kaito cleared his throat.
"I already called him"
"Oh- well then, I'll just go home for the night"
Karina returned home after she got a drink at Tender. She washed up her face when she heard knocking on the window in her bedroom.
"Hello?"
Karina entered her room and grabbed her gun from her nightstand. When she looked up, she was rather relieved to see Sugiura sitting there, patiently waiting for her to open the window. It looked like he had nowhere to go.
She let go of her gun walked over to the window and opened it.
"I never thought you'd open the window, I thought you'd just sit there and stare at me"
Sugiura swung his legs inside her window and sat on the ledge, taking off his shoes before he set foot on the soft carpet.
"Make yourself at home, be lucky I'm a generous person"
Sugiura chuckled and set his shoes in an empty shoe slot.
"I appreciate it"
Karina sat on the edge of her bed and kept her eyes on the male.
"Do you have any place to call a home?"
Sugiura looked at her. His mouth hung open for a moment before he cleared his throat.
"Not really, no... I, uh... yeah"
Karina felt less tense with someone such as Sugiura in her presence. She swallowed and spoke up.
"Um... if you'd like, you can stay here... it's... it's not permanent... I'm just... waiting to go home is all... and I, uh... I got drug into Yagami's shit show"
Sugiura walked over and sat next to Karina and sighed.
"I took his phone as well... I've already had a few encounters with Yagami and... I'm considering teaming up with him because... what we both want, overlap... he wants the 'Mole' and I want the Kyorei clan"
Karina hummed and stood up. She walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of sweatpants, giving them to Sugiura.
"You look a bit uncomfortable, you can use my shower and wear these, we can buy you more clothes later because... well... I'm a Yakuza family captain myself... only it's... a Mafia... stationed in South Korea"
Sugiura looked at the clothes before he looked up at Karina. He smiled and stood up. He towered over Karina as he took the clothes from her hands.
"You're generous and thoughtful for a Yakuza captain"
He said as he found the bathroom and freshened up enough to sleep. About 30 minutes later he came out of the bathroom while abusing his head with a towel to dry his hair.
"Hey, my couch isn't that comfortable so, it's... it's not weird for me but... you can sleep with me... in my bed... if you're comfortable with it"
Karina hollered from the kitchen. She came into the room with two cups of tea. Sugiura dropped the towel and his clothes into the washing machine with the rest of Karina's clothes and started it for her.
He turned around and smiled at her. He took the cup and looked at her.
"I'm okay with sleeping in the same bed, it's been a long time since I've felt the comfort of sleeping next to someone"
Sugiura winked and walked to her bed. She stood there with a blush creeping onto her cheeks. She chuckled softly and joined him.
