Prologue
The city of Tokyo was controlled by two powerful Mafia families: the Matsuno coming from the Italian line and Nakamura had their origins in the same Yakuza.
The Matsuno were formed by the Matsuyo matriarch, mother of sextillos governing the family. Osomatsu, the first child was placed as Don or future leader and patriarch of the family; sottocapo or the deputy leader was Karamatsu, being the second child. His position was also seeing business or undertake work that did not require to be reported to higher or cover this when I had to travel or recover. The third son, Choromatsu had the role of Consigliere. He was in charge of all technological functions, besides being the counselor and right hand of Don.
The next in line was Ichimatsu, the murderer of the family. Of course, in these businesses all had their hands stained with blood and mud to bury corpses, but as the name says, was number one in his work, so he refused to be the Caporegime preferring to work alone in their torture and murder.
The following was Jyushimatsu. the Caporegime turned. Perhaps because it was smaller of the two it was not as dangerous as his other brothers, but he loved to hit people with his bat. When I was happy just she gave him a blow, angry left them unconscious but when attacked their loved ones could be even more dangerous than Ichimatsu when tortured. "It was perfect for the position played" he was what he always told his subordinates when they saw him act.
Finally, the youngest of all Todomatsu. In the words of the fourth child: "the most dangerous of 6". Beneath his look of cute boy with a demon evil schemes that had to be approved by his brothers to take place or simply did not see he was, but yes, always hiding behind them to not be damaged. They saw that tender act but really were human shields for him that could take advantage of. It was the Capodecime of Jyushimatsu, similar to his older brother second position.
On the other hand, there were the Nakamura. The Oyabum or family leader was Tougo Nakamura, Atsushi father and Homura. Although they were a family that followed the yakuza customs, clothing did not belong to them. They all wore modern clothes, traditional Japanese costumes was dressed for ceremonies, as the day they buried the wife of Tougo.
Atsushi, the eldest son was the wakagashira equivalent to first lieutenant or deputy leader of the family. He was trained every day to prepare for the post of Oyabum that his by right. Her younger sister, Homura was against this lifestyle that led to the death of several members of his family, even reluctantly, held the position that his mother had before: Saikon-komon. She was the new manager of the Yakuza.
Families were in an eternal power struggle for control of Tokyo. It was not surprising that always have dead on each side of the place. It is not surprising that families who want to seize up these struggles to bring to at least one of the families. That happened to Nana Nakamura, Atsushi mother and Homura who was in a restaurant having coffee when a bomb exploded. A Tougo were told that Matsuno.
But those who committed the explosion, ignored that among those killed in a shop where the best spirit of the city was sold was the old Sottocabo of Matsuno: Matsuzo. Matsuyo husband. I do not think a war between families, on the contrary. a truce to hunt made until the last member of the bold.
This was agreed Matsuyo and Tougo while the funeral ceremony was performed both families with young children around crying over the death of their parents. Ten years ago. At that time the sextillos had 13 years, 15 years Atsushi Homura 10 years.
It was at that time they met, in which fate began to weave his web ... or was at the time murderer parents? It is not known. At least it was not known in those days.
There Osomatsu met this fascinating mature man brown suit with pictures of two pieces, which had a few gray hairs notorious yes you wore to watch carefully, that was Tougo. One who stole the attention whenever he spoke or put next to him. He knew at that moment he would strive to be a Don like that man. While Tougo, sometimes turned to him (when he turned not to be discovered) just to meet a jovencillo that may give you a funny war in the future. He hoped that both come to live to witness it. Unconsciously lips while looking at him licked, Osomatsu raised his sight at that moment meeting with the action causing blush. He lowered his face to avoid being seen.
For its part Atsushi was looking for her little sister who had lost sight of him during the ceremony. Instead he found the smaller of the Matsuno, who wore a pink kimono and cherry trees of her kimono. Todomatsu not dressed in black like the rest of his brothers, not that it hurts the loss of his father but he would not dress in traditional mourning; just put on the kimono gave Matsuzo days before his death, that was his mourning.
Atsushi approached him to say hello, I knew it was "Totty" because he heard one of the brothers call him by that name. She mistook him for a girl saying what Todomatsu claimed his name, in addition to rearing the kimono to show his penis and then punch him in the cheek. Atsushi was confused but happy about the strange behavior of the young. Well he had heard that Matsuno are rare. So he smiled rubbing his cheek as he looked angry Todomatsu go.
While this was happening another meeting is taking place in the garden of the house. A small hidden in the bushes, with legs attached to his chest and his face hidden in his knees would not stop mourn the loss of his beloved mother. A boy black suit with a yellow tie approached him, like he had been crying for the loss of his father. He approached her, ducking his head to stroke height. The small Homura looked at him with her big brown eyes then began to make faces Jyushimatsu for her, funny faces and silly jokes or performance worthy of a clown. She gave a little laugh, had not laughed since the news.
"The pretty girls should not mourn, his face ruin them" were the words of small Jyushimatsu to Homura. That phrase was stuck in my head and tender smile that both were in the heart of each.
The ceremony was over, again both families gathered to say goodbye and eyes turned to find: Tougo Osomatsu and looked at him with a smile strange complicity. Why strange? Because nothing happened between them but that look made the flame of a promise to grow within them to pass something between them.
Jyushimatsu and Homura looked fun. He was grimacing to make her laugh, she reacted with a hidden palm of your hand laughter. Clearly he saw that hand a yellow wristband with the number 14 written with it a promise to remain friends but family to stand.
Another case was Todomatsu with Atsushi, he looked with a smile ignoring the bruise on his cheek. The other looked away with inflated cheeks with arms crossed. However, he looked askance. For most it was so adorable.
No one noticed what happened between them or maybe yes but not given importance. Since this was the first and last time they met, because the next week Homura was sent to a boarding school for young ladies in France while Atsushi was sent to London to pursue their studies. The sextillos were sent to Italy to learn more from their roots and improve in their studies.
The reason?
Revenge of the Matsuno and Nakamura for the loss of their partners start and did not want to involve their children, Hederos families.
It took almost 10 years for those eyes again find again.
