Chapter 14:Mr Brightside

*the next day*

Marco pov

"Marco-senpai, you seem to be in a very..chipper mood." One of my subordinates, Nitori, observed. I chuckle, "Why can't I be, yoi?" I teased. "Its just...you're not so cranky." he mumbled. I pretended to not hear that, "Oh what the hell, Nitori, yoi? I dunno why I'm in a good mood, I guess I just had a restful sleep, yoi." I remarked, "Anyway, I best be going, yoi." I walked off before Nitori could say another word. Truth be told, I woke up this morning feeling happy about Kira being in a safe place. I didn't have to worry about whether or not she was being hurt every time I was away from her. It gave me a sense of calm...she's safe now, and the only thing I have to worry about now, is Victoria's grades, and where Kira is going to live from now on.

'Maybe we should take her to the meeting tonight, after all, we really can't leave her alone, yoi.'

I grabbed out my phone, and failed Itami's number. Itami immediately picked up, "Hey man whats up?" Itami asked. "Whats Kira doing?" I asked. "She's at work at the moment, why whats up? Please don't tell me that you've ran into that dick ass cunt." Itami growled. "What? No I haven't. And if I did, he would be dead by now, yoi. Anyway, I was thinking...maybe we should take her to the meeting tonight, I mean, after all..I don't feel good about leaving her alone after whats happened, yoi." I admit, making sure that I had my voice on the down low. Itami sighed, "Well you're right about that, Marcky-Moo. I want her to stay in our line of eyesight to keep her safe. Yeah, when she's finished work I'll drop by & grab her." Itami said. I smile, "Thanks, Itami. I'll talk to you later, yoi." And with that we hung up.

'Maybe if we're lucky....we might even get her to join us, yoi.'

And with that, I went back to work, and met up with the Old man himself to discuss some more proposals with territories in the city.

Kira pov

'Oh yes....I'm free! I'm free from my imprisonment! Things are going my way...now, its about time that revenge comes my dear...'

As I smiled, a lightning bolt struck, and it started to rain. Underneath my desk, I stroked the multiple devices that I stole. I licked my lips, and grinned down at my reflection. "And when I'm through with you, my dear....there'll be nothing." I giggled to myself. I grabbed out the drug that I stole earlier: the Flunitrazepam. I stroked the capsule, "He's going to be a fine specimen for my project." I hummed as it thundered drums outside.

*timeskip*

"So apparently Itami is bringing her cousin in?" Old man asked. I nod, "Yes, she's the one that I told you about who's just gotten out of a rough patch, yoi," I explained. Old man chuckled, "I've also heard rumors, Marco." I quirked my eyebrow, "About what?" I asked. The Old man let out a low grumble of a laugh, "A little brat told me that you have your eyes set on her."

'What the-HOW DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THIS, YOI?!'

My blush became bright red, "W-What are you talking about, yoi?" I chuckled, "You really are getting old, yoi." I teased, trying to take the spotlight away from me. "I'm old enough to know that you've finally grown up, and found a lady that you really like." Old man added. I sighed, "I really don't know what to do, Old man, yoi. I really really care about her...but I-I don't know what to say, yoi." I explained. He took a long swig of sake, before he plopped his bottle on the table, "Well..I don't really know either. But do you know what I think? I think it'd be best if you just catch her alone when the moment is right and just..tell her." Old man muses. "You really think that'll work, yoi?" I asked. "Nope. But we won't know until we find out!" He laughed. I stared at him for a bit, before sighing to myself.

Okay so I will admit, back before when I wasn't in the hospital, I was known throughout the mafia as a lady magnet, so was Ace & Thatch, but Ace stopped when he met Itami (for obvious reasons). I guess my thoughts were: 'What the hell, life is short, yoi.' Some girls are actually still after me as we speak..but I'm not interested in any of them, only Kira.

'Speaking of which, I haven't gotten a call back from Itami, yoi. I hope nothing's happened.'

I went back to work, and helped everyone set up for the party tonight. It wasn't anyone's birthday or anything, we just felt like throwing a party tonight. They're usually held at headquarters, either in the big storage supply, or in the bar that we took over. The bar was where everyone goes to get hook ups on drugs, alcohol & a lady to get on between the sheets with. Back a while ago, this bar was the same bar where Itami & Ace met actually. I was there. He wouldn't keep his eyes off her so I made him talk to her. It worked, and now they've been dating for two years.

"Marco-senpai, are we gonna eat any food?" Another subordinate from Thatch's division asks. "Yeah, there might be some people around that'll become hungry, yoi." I states. He nods, and gets back to setting up.

Soon everything is done, and by them, I receive a call from Itami.

"Hey whats up, yoi?" I asked. "Oh thank god you picked up! Marco!" Itami said rapidly. I scrunched my eyebrows, "What happened?" I asked. "You're not going to believe this but.....Kira has found out that Josiah was murdered last night!"
