Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 14: Change

Chapter 14 | Change |

Akira's POV:

"Haaa, I still can't get over last months raid. It was seriously anticlimactic, I can't believe that bitch would just take off to America like that..."

A hefty sigh could be heard atop the deathly silent rooftop. Akira, who was now on lunch break,  vented her frustrations out to her close friend Erin. Erin was ordered by Akira's father to attend the same school as her for protective measures, because it is a fathers duty, Yakuza or not, to protect their daughter and make them happy.

"Well, just because she's fled to America doesn't mean that we can't find her. I mean, we have a sizeable number of members living in the 'States' don't we?"

Akira didn't hesitate to answer this question, it was quite obvious to her that they had a relatively large presence in the United States and contacting the members there to hunt down her mother was the first thing she did. She even placed a bounty of $50,000 American on her mothers head, this would only be rewarded if they managed to bring her back to the Yakuza HQ in Kobe.

"Do you take me for an Idiot, Erin? The first thing I did when I got home was contact all of the branches there and place a bounty on her head."

Erin was taken aback by the sudden animosity coming from Akira, he flinched and tried to play it off humorously.

"N-No, I was just emphasizing the fact that-"

"Ahahaha! It's okay Erin, I'm not trying to call you an idiot either. I mean I did take off by myself to run back home while you stayed and cleaned up the scene at the compound."

"Hehe... He..."

Erins awkward laughs sparked humorous, more heartfelt laughs from the two of them. Filling the school rooftop with the sound of their laughter and replacing the silence.

*DING~ DONG~*

"Oop! That's lunch!"

Akira said as she packed up her lunchbox and chopsticks.

"We've got Phys. Ed. next right? I better get changed. I'll see ya there!"

"W-Wait... Akira!"

Unfortunately for Erin, his cries did not reach Akira who was already halfway down the last flight of stairs.

"That damned girl, I swear one day she's gonna cop it because she's ran off by herself and left me in the dust. She's completely adopted her sisters happy-go-lucky personality and left behind the Humble beauty she was before..."

Erin nonchalantly packed away his lunchbox and chopsticks and followed in the footsteps of the girl before him.

"Hey, Erin!"

The ever familiar voice of Akira could be heard from behind Erin so he turned around.

"Yo, what's up with just leaving me in the roof like that? You left before me and got here after me, also, you look a bit sweaty... what's up with that?..."

Erin examined the suspicious looking Akira who was getting flustered over the sudden heat thrown onto her.

"W-What do you mean?! A girls got to do all her make up and the like right? So of course I'd be a bit late!"

Hehe, I've got him there. All I did was slip off my uniform and change as quickly as possible, since today is the day that we're all competing for a place on the school track team, so I ran like 4 laps around the school as a warmup before arriving.
