Butterfly Kisses Part 1

Chapter 20: Infiltrating the Yakuza

"Mockingbird, you're task is to infiltrate the Yakuza and gather information. Do not let your cover be blown understood?" Serious vibes filled the air (some would say they're...Sirius vibes. Hehe).

"Yes sir." Light blonde locks of hair swiped away the air as she turned and left the room. Infiltrating the Yakuza is no easy feat. She'd need a brand new identity if this was going to work successfully. That's exactly what she did. Strikingly red hair, pink lipstick, brown contact lenses with built in camera functions (blink twice to take picture, blink three times to begin and end recording). Alias? Himari Abiko. Fashion designer, quirkless, two dogs named Bowie and Leo...talkative. 

'Anything for the mission.' She sighed, walking into the main Yakuza building.

"What d'ya want?" A simple thug with nothing more than an M1911 pistol. 

"To join the Yakuza. You know I bet I'd get a lot of money to treat my doggies good if I join."

The thug smirked and held his handgun to her face.

"Prove yourse-" Almost immediately after pulling the gun out of it's holster, he was flipped onto the ground. The gun was in the hands of Himari now, pointed at his face. Her foot trapped one of his hands in place.

"That proof enough?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Two great wooden doors creaked open, revealing a cosy room with a fireplace. In front of the fireplace stood two chairs and between them stood a wooden table. A shogi board rested on top of it. Across the room was another, smaller door. Sitting in the chair closest to the fireplace with his arms crossed, was the leader of the Yakuza.

"So," He spoke behind a beak like mask, "you managed to get your way in here. Sit." He demanded. A creak manifested from the smaller door as a small girl covered her mouth in fear.

"Take her to her room." The leader ordered. "Play Shogi with me while we discuss business."

Acting nervous, she trembled to her seat and took it. Himari had the first move, blinking three times before she made it. 

"I want to join the Yakuza. I want to show the heroes that we're not gone yet." 

"Why else do you want to join us? For money? Power?" Ending his turn, he leaned back into his chair awaiting an answer.

"Well I do want to give my dogs the best life ever but...I just want to prove that the Yakuza is true justice." Flipping her crimson hair backwards, she clicked her tongue and waited for her next move.

"I'll let you in but you're going to work for it." His eyes were more concentrated on the game than on her. "Your move."

After a few seconds of analysing the board and deciphering her next move, Himari called it.

"Checkmate."

Annoyed, he gestured for the thugs to escort her to a separate room. Before she left, she was able to turn back and blink again without anyone noticing. Everything that was happening in that room was recorded. The leaders face, the few thugs in the room. Everything except the girl.

After a few minutes of walking in what seemed like circles, her and the two thugs were alone. Snapping the neck of the first and incapacitating the second was too easy for her. One captive ready for interrogation. All she had to do now was get out without being spotted. She contacted the police via com-link and had them pick her up behind the property. 

"So you've got a captive?" The officer looked into his rear view mirror.

"I've got what I needed." 

Suddenly, two armoured vehicles appeared behind them. Yakuza. However, not five seconds later, Ryukyu crashed on top of them, followed along by Nejire who floated down gracefully.

"Heroes really don't think about any collateral damage at all do they?" He tried to spark conversation but she knocked it down as soon as it begun.

"Neither do you. Damage of property, innocent casualties. No-one cares about anything anymore." 

"Okay...well we're finally at our destination. Thank God." He muttered under his breath.

After bringing the prisoner in and taking her disguise off, she walked back into the chief's office.

"How'd it go?" He asked on the edge of his seat.

"There's a captive being led to the cells now." She replied coldly. 

"Good."

As she opened the door and walked through it he called to her again.

"Good job out there." Glisteningly white teeth stretched across his face, forming a smile.

"That's why I'm here." 

*********

"Mockingbird?" Soft vibrations collected around the bushes.

"Who are you?" Mockingbird asked whilst immediately drawing her batons.

"Hiko Suimin, I'm looking for my family. You might be able to help."

I didn't really have much inspiration or want to write this chapter at the moment but I felt like I should just get it out the way. I would've worded it better, added more detail and maybe a bit more action but I didn't feel like it.

Stay safe during quarantine, wear a mask and social distance whenever you can. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!
