Eisuke: The Lost One

Trouble

Scarlett's Point of View

"William!" I heard behind me. I turned around to see an angrier Soryu than usual.

On no! Not again!

"Soryu please calm down. I just ran into him," I said.

"I saw. But I can not believe that you would show your face to us again! Especially Scarlett!"

"I know what I did was wrong, and I am deeply sorry," William said while bowing. "I came back to see if you will forgive me. Especially you Scarlett," he says grabbing my hands.

"Oh-- Actually I am dat-" Soryu cuts me off.

"She is dating me now," he said grabbing my hands away from him. "So don't think of touching her with your filthy hands ever again."

"Listen to me Oh. I am trying to apologize while you are trying to pick up a fight," William says.

Alright this is going to get out of hand soon.

"Please guys. Not right now." I turn to Soryu and say, "I can handle this." I then turn to William and say, "It's nice seeing you again to William. But like Soryu said, I am dating him. But I will not mind if you want to catch up some time," I say handing him my number.

"Scarlett!" Soryu says.

"Please, I know what I am doing. Just trust me. Okay?" 

Silence

"Fine," he says after giving in.

"Thank you Scarlett, and you to Soryu. For giving me a second chance," William says. "Well I'll see you later, I have to meet a business partner."

After saying goodbye, I lead Soryu over to the alley to talk to him. 

"Hey are you alright?" I asked.

No answer.

"Look I am sorry. Please just say something," I beg.

"Fine. I can not believe you are trying to make up with that thing after what he did to you!" Soryu says.

"That was seven years ago. I was only 17."

"Still! He knows what he did! He shouldn't even show his face to you anymore."

"It's fine. I will give him one more chance to prove himself. Please trust me," I say giving him the puppy dog look.

"Fine. Hah, I can never say no to you in the end, can I?"

"Nope! Haha."

After that, Soryu leads me inside of the hotel up to the penthouse. I think I hear my brother talking to someone in the lounge. I wonder if it is someone important. Once Soryu and I walk in, we are stopped when we see him. 

"You! What are you doing here!" Soryu says walking up to William.

"Soryu. Wait a minuet," I hear my brother says. 

"What is the meaning of this!"

"Soryu, this is Mr. William Jones. He is the son of a business partner that my Father introduced me to. So my Father asked me to introduce him to Scarlett."

After hearing this I ask, "Why did Father want me to meet him?"

"He just wants you to be part of the business," Eisuke answered.

"But I am already in the Mafia. I don't want to be part of his business."

"It will be fine. So I am guessing you all know each other though."
