~ Act Fifteen: Declarations ~

At Itokan Diner everyone was back. Since the last call, they had to face another fight. Slowly things became serious little by little. They only wanted to protect their city and stand up for their friends. They had to face their foes, their friends and in the the end settle their own demons.

"Ugly, It hurts. Be more careful." Yamato complained as Naomi was trying to bandage his arm.

Naomi smiled lightly and replied "I'll kill you!"

The rest were also cleaning their cuts and bandaging. Cobra (as always) was sitting at the red sofa. Next to him sat Kasumi. Lately, she was treated as a Sannoh Rengokai member. Her act to pose as a boy had ended. It was also time to settle her own path. Cobra allowed her to stay in his room as long as she needed. With all the serious matters, he was not using at all.

"Who could be behind the attacks?" Chiharu asked.

"If it keeps going like that, it will get worse..." Sannoh Rengokai's Leader responded. Suddenly, he was cut off as he received a phone call. He ended the call and stood up. He looked surprised. "Yamato! Let's go!"

Yamato gazed at him knowing that something was off "Who was it?" he asked as he put his shirt on.

"Kohaku-san." Cobra answered.

Kasumi stood up ready to follow. Yet he signed Kasumi not to follow them. "Only, Yamato and I!" he said in a deep voice.

Yamato and Cobra went to meet with Kohaku. Kasumi left also. She had enough form Kuryu acts. It was time to confront her father. After all he was part of the Kuryu Group. "Tettsu escort me somewhere." she said.

Kasumi and Tettsu arrived at the Iemura Group few minutes later. It was time to settle things on her own. This craziness was going on for long. If they want an unleash an attack again SWORD. She would stand with them, as part of the Hoodlum Squad.

"Tettsu, wait for me here. It won't take long!" she said as she climbed of his bike.

Tettsu grabbed her armed "Kasumi-san, I cannot let you walk inside on your own!"

Kasumi ensured him that nothing would go wrong. After all she was still the boss's daughter. "Do not worry! My last name is still Iemura! No one will dare to hurt me! At least for now!"

The Iemura Group was already in a meeting. Kasumi didn't wait to be announced. She dashed inside, straight to face her father. "We need to talk!" she voiced up.

Her father was shocked. He never expected his daughter to show up. "Kasumi, why are you here? We are in the middle of things!" he uttered.

"I don't care!" she said "I am here to settle things! I cannot wait!"

"Kasumi!" her father cried out.

"As I said! We need to talk right now!" she announced.
