Tamahagane Heart

A Touch of Psycho

Kiyoshi POV

Sitting at my father's old desk I absent-mindedly ran my fingers through the long black tresses of my old conquest. I looked around the outdated office deciding on what to change.

"You're being very quiet master, is there something wrong?" she asks me leaning into my feathery touch.

My eyes meet her own as I studied her features. Michiko was once a beauty but since she's begun to sample her own supply of morphine she's turned into a bit of a slag. Except for her brother Shizuna I was the only one who knew of her habit. With this information and the knowledge of her obsession with the Oyabun of the Hagane no Hana (Steel Flower, it made it easy to control her.

"I was just making plans for tonight my dear" I answered smiling as I hid my disgust.

"Will you really keep your promise of letting me have Misao?" She asked me in return with a desperate look in her eyes.

My fingers tightened harshly gripping her hair at the mention of his name. I yanked her head back causing a whimper to leave her lips. Leaning forward my lips brush against her ear. "A promise is a promise; is it not?"

Michiko whimpers once again and I toss her from my grasp. I release a loud laugh as I stare at her scared little face. Normally I would've cut out her tongue for questioning me but today is a good day so she gets a pardon. All because there is death in the air.

Slowly I stand from my seat, walking around the large desk I drag my fingers along the grain. Stopping in front of the woman I kneel down and grip her chin.

"Smile my dear because tonight we all get exactly what we want" I laugh pushing her roughly away.

I rise to my feet and with glee, I clap my hands together.
"Lets began shall we"

I stood in front of the cage and stared at the frame of the small boy who will bring down the Oyabun. Soon my stare turned into a glare as I remembered how that bastard dared to go against me. Now, normally people would say "But it wasn't against you Kiyoshi it was against your father" And that's where those assholes would be wrong. The transgression was against ME!! My father was too much of an idiot to do anything, I ran this family; I ran it the right way, with fear.

I knew my father was skimming from the family but I wanted to torture and kill him at the right time. My hand was forced and my timetable was moved ahead. Now our family is scrambling to fix what he did. But the biggest mistake that was made, was made by my father. He tried to kill me and look what that got him. I'm surrounded by idiots.

"You want to destroy my empire? Well, I will burn your heart to ashes" I whisper to myself as I walk towards the cage.

Gripping the cold bars I brought my face closer. I watch as he moves silently in his drugged sleep. Out of the corner of my eye, I see another slump of flesh move. I drag my eyes over to the other cage in the room. The body moves again his eyes opening meeting my own.

"Oh fuck" I laugh as I walk over standing in front of him. "I was just so focused on the Oyabun's little bitch I completely forgot all about you" I laugh again.

"So tell me who are you and what connection do you have with him?" I asked crossing my arms motioning to the other with my head.

The boy stared at me with unfocused eyes. Soon that changed as his brown orbs darted around the room.

"Where am I? Why am I here? Where is Kinnojo?" He asked me in a rapid fashion.

"Ah ah ah I asked you first" I wiggled my finger at the boy.
