That was Eli's biggest downfall and the hardest lesson he had to learn. It all started with a meeting between the head and the left and right hand men. Eli sitting on the couch with Ren and Nero sitting on separate chairs. As usual the left hand was giving out information which of course meant that he leader was not listening to them at all. At times Ren wondered why their head was here but well, the oldest of the three had always been insistent on it and it seems that the aqua haired man could not refuse him.
"And it also appears that a certain gang has been trying to invade us." This had seem to catch the attention of Eli. Of course it did.
"Oh? And what gang decided to invade my territory? Is it the Tsukamis?"
Of course he wanted it to be someone strong. The strategist sighed at his....idiocy he suppose. "No. It's not...it seems the Tsukami have no interest in taking over the Kazehaya yet. Then again they haven't exactly been invading recently." something the left hand did not understand. The gang used to be vicious and invade everything after all but apparently after their head had kids things changed. Did having a family change one that much? He turned his eyes towards Nero as if looking for the answer to his question before continuing. "Anyway it seems to be the Amagami gang." Another big gang that rivaled the Tsukamis actually. "They have been rumors of them wanting to start a war with us and really this might be to our benefits." Now both of them were eyeing Ren with curiosity. "You see, if they invade us then they will be in our territory. We know this place like the back of our hand. We can easily corner them and-"
"Corner them? Ren what do you take us for? Pussies?"
The left hand blinked. "Pardon me?" He really could not understand this guy.
"Hmph, waiting to be invaded. That is not how the Kazehaya work! We'll invade them tomorrow."
Nero chuckled and the left hand merely gave him a blank stare as if asking him if he was an idiot. Even if they had known each other for two years, the strategist cannot understand him. He doubt he ever would after all. "Surely you are jest." he merely stated. "You would be killed. You and your men."
"Are you doubting me Ren? I'll show you and I'll do it all by myself!"
The two other males looked at each other to which the right hand had merely shrugged. Without another word Eli had left and the left hand sighed. "I have no idea how you reason with that guy."
"You don't." Nero merely stated with a relaxed smile.
"Hmm? Then doesn't it hurt to serve under him?"
"Well there should be but there is just something about him. And besides as his left and right hand it's our job to clean up his mess right?"
Ren had merely excused himself and walked out. As long as he didn't know where that gang was it didn't matter.
The next day, as the strategist was walking around town gathering information, he overheard something. That Eli was in a fight...that someone had given him the direction to the Amagami gang. Well this wasn't good, he was going to be out of a job. Instantly he abandoned his plan of gathering information and had ran. He continued to run to run taking out his phone and calling the only person he can think of. The right hand.
"Ren?"
"Eli! He's in danger!"
"What? Where?"
"In the Shibuya district. The idiot got himself into a fight with the Amagami gang." But who could have told him? That was something that bothered him. It all seemed too convenient that only one thing came to his mind but he rather not go to such a conclusion. "Where are you right now?"
"I'm close to it. I'll go there right now."
"Call for backup as well."
"Got it." And with that Nero quickly hung up to call the other men to meet them. It shouldn't be hard to spot a fight, especially if Eli was in it. He rushed over to the place without a second thought. He needed to make sure that Eli was alright, that the guy won't be killed.
Meanwhile Eli was knocking down men and doing pretty well. A vicious smirk came upon his features. "Come on! Is that all you got? And you planned to take over my territory?" he cried out hitting another one to the ground. Yet as the fight went on, there were too many. Even though he knocked down so many men, more came and one person can only fight for so long before feeling tired and unfocused. It was then that the leader decided to stab him from his back. When he turned around it was too late to dodge and he braced himself only for someone else with familiar dark blue hair to stand in front of him.
Nero!
The older male turned to Eli with a small smirk before knocking the surrounding men away. All the leader of the Kazehaya can do was stare as his second in command was fighting. When did that guy get here? How did he get here? What would have happened if he hadn't come? More importantly...what was going to happen? All he can do was watch as Nero hit one down after another not letting any near the tired Eli.
"Good thing I came on time huh?" the right hand asked smirking as he knocked another down.
"What the hell are you doing here Nero!?" the aqua haired male cried out.
"Heard there was a fight here. Thought it would had been you. Now go...I'll clean up this mess of yours."
Eli glared at him. "F*** NO! A real man wouldn't run and you're the one in-" before he can finish a gun shot was heard and Eli stared in shock. All he could do was stare at the older male fell to the ground and then everything went black. He had no idea how long he had no control of himself.
All he knew was that when he did regain conscious over what he was doing, it was because one of his men had pulled him away from punching a the leader of the Amagami gang even though the man had been dead for god knows how long. He can hear so many of the members telling him to calm down while others had just remained silent. He couldn't look at them and instead find his eyes looking at the dead right hand. Without a word he had walked away. He needed to go off and kill someone else. Even though his knuckles were stained red from his first kill, it wasn't enough for him. He wanted more. He wanted to kill everyone that was involved somehow. His gang being scared of their boss's silence as there was no cry of victory, didn't follow him.
As he headed down the streets, his bloodied fists shoved into his pockets he found someone grabbing his arm. He glared at the person to find emotionless eyes staring at him back.
Ren.
"You shouldn't be out here so late Boss. Isn't there something you should be doing?"
"Beating the living shit out of you?"
The other chuckled at his words. "That doesn't sound very productive. No. Rather kids shouldn't be left alone in the night."
Instantly he knew what the left hand was referring to. Of course...there was that girl...what was her name? Clear was it? She was Nero's kid huh? For a moment he kept silent as the dark blue haired male placed a bag of clean clothes in his hand.
"Ren-." he merely started but before he can finish the other had interrupted him.
"I already found her mother. I'll show you to her but you should clean yourself up and dress yourself nicely first. Meet me at the catwalk in half an hour. I have things to do."
"What the f*** do you have to do huh Ren!?"
"Cleaning up your mess." [/style] |

They were down a right hand, a valuable piece no less. Of course the right hand died a fitting death protecting their leader but he would rather not have such a wonderful tool be thrown away. A shame really. And well...he didn't like it when people touch what was his and so naturally when he had came to the spot and saw Eli punching the leader, hearing the man scream, he had merely stood there and smirked. Watch as the life slowly fade from his eyes while keeping quiet. He didn't bother to stop his boss from such an animistic act. Of course soon the rest of the member came and the left hand had to leave. Actually he left about five minutes before to look for the strategist that came up with the plan and promptly killed him. It had been his first kill as well but he felt nothing to it as he stared at the dead body. No satisfaction, horror, guilt, or sadness for what he had done which might had been why he had a mind clear enough to arrange everything or prepare so. He still needed some more time.
That was why he told Eli to meet him at the catwalk in thirty minutes as he went to the hostess club to tell a specific woman about how there was going to be a man to come meet her and for her to keep her schedule clear during that time. Unlike usual, the dark blue haired man had actually came on time to the meeting place and quickly found his boss. "My my you dress up nicely." he commented as if this was any normal situation. Well in a way it was normal. Yakuzas die and Nero was just someone who happened to have died tonight. Was it a shame? Yes, yes it was but it was not something to just dawdle on. He was sure Nero would had felt the same. He wasn't like most of the Kazehaya member.
Eli had glared at his left hand not in a mood for his jokes. Well, he was never in the mood for the jokes but now it was even more so. He still felt like he was in a daze though but he forced himself to go on. A man never stands still after all. "Shut up Ren and show me to Nero's bitch."
The other chuckled. "Best to keep that language of yours under check but very well boss." he stated before leading the way. The hostess bar was not too far from the catwalk but it was by no means calm either. It was why Ren had chose it as the meeting place. Not too far that the man would become impatient and not too close that he can't walk off some portion of his anger. "Boss" the left hand started. "I sincerely hope you learn your lesson today. Nero didn't die because of the Amagami clan. He died because of your arrogance. If it had no been for him, you would had died. Do not repeat such a mistake. I knew you would have to learn it sooner or later but to lose such an important piece is rather inconvenient." he lectured Eli, his tone not holding that sound of mock playfulness but rather cold and devoid.
Eli had merely kept quiet because he knew it was true but he didn't want to openly agree with the left hand. Once they were in the hostess club, the mismatched eye male had walked over to a woman with brown hair and they had a talk. She had looked surprised at the news that was delivered by Ren. He was always better at talking then his boss after all. He informed her of her husband's death but had left several key factors such as how he had died protecting Eli. All she knew was that he died in a battle. "And we know you have a daughter. She doesn't know about it and she doesn't know about you either but unfortunately Nero-san did not see his death early enough to write a will on who to take care of his daughter. Naturally the court would find her parent by taking her DNA which of course would be you. Of course with your occupation you won't be able to take care of her very much and so I am here to ask if the Kazehaya gang would be allowed to take care of her. She is our beloved right hand man's daughter." he tried reasoning with the woman.
Too bad humans never listen to reasons. The woman had shook her head. "No. It's because of the gangs that Nero died wasn't it? What makes you think I would let you guys take care of my daughter. I will take care of her myself. She can live here even!"
That seems to have ticked Eli off as he stood up. "You take care of her!? I heard from Nero you bitch! When she was born you didn't take care of her! She doesn't even know who you are and what? Are you going to raise her as a whore? Nero's daughter will not be so f***ing whore! I won't f***ing allow it!" the man cried out.
Well so much for trying to negotiate. Now the woman seems rather angry. "And if she stays with you, she would get hurt wouldn't she! You yakuzas always fighting! I don't want her to live a dangerous life!"
So many eyes were on the group now that Ren could not help but sigh and then step in between them. To be honest, he had expected this situation somewhat. "Well I suppose we have no choice but to have a custody battle huh?" he asked still keeping the polite smile closing extending his hand to the woman. "Lets have a fair game."
She had looked rather hesitant at the blue haired male but soon took it not wanting to cause too much of a scene. It was then that he pulled her close to him taking in the surprise. With his free hand holding onto a gun, he used their body to hide it from view. "Or I can kill you right now and we can just easily adopt her." he commented his polite smile becoming demonic. "That doesn't sound bad does it?" Although before he can pull the trigger, Eli had grabbed his shoulder.
"We're going." And with that the leader had pulled the left hand out. Quickly though said left hand had hid his gun back into his jacket. Once outside the dark blue haired male could not help but ask. "Hmmm? Boss? You wanted to adopt Clear didn't you? To erase the fact that you killed her father right? Killing her mother would had been easy and I doubt the girl would care never having met the woman."
"I won't let you use dirty tactics on my watch."
The other had merely sighed and nodded. "Very well. The police are bound to go to her house tomorrow as it is late in the night to tell her of her father's death. Of course they won't comfort her so I suggest you go. Tell her that you would be taking care of her as well. he suggested before slipping out of the man's grasp. "I'll start filling out the paperwork." and with that the left hand walked away.
Eli had watched him for a few moment. So in other words he was going to deliver the bad news huh? Hmph, such a thing was more of Ren's territory but the pussy decided to do the paperwork instead. It was true that the police who didn't know the girl won't care enough to comfort her and so the job was given to the head of the Kazehaya gang. A sigh parted from his lips as he scratched his hair before heading over to Nero's house. It was late, she was probably asleep by now. He should wait for tomorrow but then tomorrow the police would have already came. He really had no choice huh?
Once at the door the man reached out for the doorbell but couldn't ring it. He wasn't so sure how to put it gently. Was she gonna cry? God f***ing damn it he didn't want to have to deal with that. Still he pressed it once...and then again....and again. The door soon opened revealing Clear rubbing her eyes obviously having just woke up. She had looked confused. "Ramsey-san? What are you doing here? Daddy isn't home yet."
Of course he wasn't home. The man can only stare at her unsure of what to say still. Why couldn't Ren have done this? Was the left hand trying to torture him to get him to learn his lesson? "I know." he started unable to look at the child in the eye. "F***!" he suddenly cried out scaring the girl but also making her more alert now.
"Your father isn't coming home anymore Clear. He's dead. I'm gonna be your father now." [/style] |

Since Nero had died. Clear was moved to an orphanage for now as the court investigated her mother wondering if she would be right and also searching for any relative of her mother or father that might be fit or to vouch for one's character. Ren had took this chance to file the paper as it was no secret to public that Nero was of the Kazehaya gang. So they had a relation to Clear even if it was stretchy. In fact it was amazing the court had decided to hear their pleas and testimonies. At least in the public's eyes anyway, in truth the left hand had pulled a few strings.
In a room prepared for them to discuss Ren had stared at Eli who wore a suit and looked rather nice. "I heard you visited Clear today. How is she?" he asked.
"She's okay. She doesn't seem to mind the orphanage too much." the guy answered tilting the chair he was sitting in. It was a good thing that the room they had was private.
"Really? Maybe we should let her stay there then?" the dark blue haired male suggested only to receive a glare. Instead of being scared though he had laughed it off. "Just joking." he stated offhandedly. "Well anyway we have no one that can speak of you in good light. We could have your men but they aren't the brightest so I think it's best if we hire some actors to testify your character for you." he commented. "I've-"
"No." the leader cut him off. "I don't want to win that way. This is Nero's daughter Ren. He wouldn't want us to use dirty tactics. I'll win her the right way."
The other had merely shook his head and chuckled. Great...well good thing he didn't hire them with his own money as he doubt he would be getting it back now. "Nero, the man who died for you." he commented. It was going to be hard to replace such a valuable piece. Eli has yet to make an announcement on what to do and really the dark blue haired male was not sure on what to do either. One needs to stand on their leader's side but it would be useless if the person was weak. They needed someone with skill and experience like the deceased right hand but such a person would be hard to find. Intelligence and strength. What a shame. "Well I suppose if that is the case then would you be kind enough to watch your mouth once we are in court?"
"Hmph."
Soon it was time for them to go inside the courtroom and they did so. Ren was a bit stunned that the hostess had her own lawyer, he suppose she must had either had some money kept in check or had been selling herself more than usual to raise the money. Either that or the hostess club supported this. Either way he didn't question it as the court began and it was the hostess's start on why Clear should be under her custody. She began talking about how she was the one to have given birth to the girl and had always wanted to take care of the girl. Not bad really, the way she held herself, her lips trembling but no tears. Either she really cared or she was one good actress. It was going to be hard to beat....especially with Eli's outburst.
"Don't lie you bitch! You never visited her once! It was always Nero who took care of her while you slept with other men."
Very difficult indeed. Ren mentally sighed before standing up. "Excuse my client, he's not in a very good mood today and Nero was close to him. You can say the man's death has made a huge impact. He really doesn't mean anything he says." he stated trying to pardon his leader's outburst. "But some of what he said had been true. She never did visited Clear, in fact Clear does not even know she has a mother let alone what her mother's job incline."
"But you would put Clear in a dangerous situation being yakuzas." the loyal for the hostess spoke in a curt voice.
The left hand merely gave her a small polite smile and before Eli could say anything he had opened his mouth. "Very true but living in a hostess club will be of bad influence on her. And Nero was a yakuza member was he not? In fact he was the right hand and she was raised well." It seems to have shut the other side up. Although the case was not over yet but they had won for the day.
With the court adjourned for the day, Ren and Eli soon went outside. It was there that the left hand turned towards the leader. "I warned you to watch your mouth. It's a good thing I saw ahead."
"If you knew I was going to do something then bother telling me not to?"
"I was hoping you would had learned better by now." was the only reply before Ren turned away. "Although this is only the easy step. Again I would like for you to watch what you do or say. They'll do anything to make sure you can't be Clear's guardian." Yakuzas were not very loved by the citizens as they were back in the old days, especially a faction as violent as the Kazehaya.
Eli shrugged it off and went to visit Clear at the orphanage that the left hand had showed him. He found her playing on the swings by herself and decided to walk over to the girl. "Hey kid." he called out to her leaning on the pole.
"Hello Ramsey-san!" she chirped giving him a smile. It was hard to believe that this girl had just lost her father a week ago.
"It's daddy or whatever the f*** you want to call me. Just don't be so formal goddamn it." It would feel so strange and since it was the head's fault that her father had died, it would only be suited for him to become her father as well.
"Okay...daddy." she stated. "You...you won't leave me alone right?"
"Didn't I tell you already? As your father of course not."
"Promise?" the girl asked holding out her pinky.
Eli rolled his eyes before turning to the girl and holding out his own pinky. That was when he noticed something. "Where the hell did you get those scratches on your arm?"
"I fell." she stated her eyes downcast with as small pout.
"Be more careful next time." he told her before finally entwining his fingers with hers. After that the two talked about how the case was. She didn't know the person Eli was fighting with was her mother, she thought it was just against the court. If she knew, what would she think? He also asked her how she liked the orphanage to which she said it was fine and fun.
Eventually though Eli had to go. She had seemed reluctant to let him go at first but soon smile and waved him off. "I'll see you tomorrow right daddy?"
"Yeah yeah."[/style] |

She had so many people vouching for her character and she was able to control herself to a very good level as well. Meanwhile Eli was not and had no one to vouch for him. Their life style was about equal to each other. The only thing the Kazehaya male had over her was money but only that would go so far. Ren had to struggle as he couldn't cheat, boss's orders, no matter how much he wanted to defy it. It had already been two weeks now and the judge was still considering hearing from both sides but the dark haired male knew that they were going to lose unless they find some way. How though? Eli has been getting into fights with other gangs still and it was lowering their chances because that guy wouldn't listen to him. Although he hasn't been caught yet, the chance of being caught did go higher with every fight. Him and his arrogance. Tch, this was why humans were so annoying. They were not logical, especially his boss.
"Boss what part of being careful do you not get? You almost got caught yesterday. I suggest you stop getting into such petty little fights."
"Petty little fights? Ren, they are trying to take over my territory just because I'm in some court cases with some kid! Now is not the time to be a pussy."
"If you lose your territory you can get your land back later but tell me Boss, will you get a second chance to take care of Nero's daughter?" he asked and it seems his words had woken the guy up a bit. "Or does your territory mean more to you than her?" There was only silence before the left hand feeling that he had said enough decided to leave the male.
It was true..he knew what Ren said was right. Eli shook his head and sighed. It was just so hard to do nothing. Walking down the streets he was heading over to Clear when of course a group of yakuzas came up. "Well well well if it isn't the head of the Kazehaya clan. Heard you wanted to adopt a kid." one of them stated with a sadistic grin. Eli glared at them but held back the urge to fight as they hit him. All he can do was defend himself, no matter how much he hated it, he had no other choice. Yet if he doesn't do anything he might be killed but his left hand's words did struck him. He continued to defend himself dodging or blocking until he saw wooden sword hitting everyone in the back of the head knocking them down. As they fell, it revealed the savoir had been Yoite with his usual apathetic face.
"So I'm guessing it is true then." he merely stated patting his shoulder with the wooden weapon. "You are planning to adopt a kid?"
The leader of the Kazehaya merely brushed off the dirt. "Why so curious kid? Wanna pick on me as well?" he asked although he knew that the Tsukami heir would not want to. He was better than that after all. If he wasn't then Eli would had killed him a long time ago.
"Heh. Hitting someone who can't defend themself is against the Tsukami code." he merely replied back with a smirk upon his lips. "Come on. Lets get out of here before the police come." And so he started to leave expecting the older male to follow. Having no choice, the man did follow him.
"I didn't know you always wanted a girl. Always thought you would be after a male heir or something."
"That's not the reason why I'm adopting her."
"Oh? Why then?"
"Didn't know you were so nosy."
"Hmph." the teen shrugged.
"Besides aren't you suppose to not be fighting either?" At least from what Ren had told him, Yoite was apparently forbidden to fight.
The boy had merely smirked. "That was too easy to be considered a fight."
As usual the kid was rather arrogant. If Eli was allowed to fight he would surely teach the second year a lesson or two. But then he realized something. His men couldn't vouch for him because they were too close to him being his subordinates but the second year was not. "Hey kid, think you can ummm..." Damn it what was that stupid word again? "Test for my character or whatever the f*** they call it."
"Wow you were actually close to it that time." he commented with a straight face before answering. "And you do know that you have to be at least eighteen to do so right?" he asked arching a brow.
Huh? He was? Damn it! "Well fine whatever then." he shrugged. "So why are you still following me anyway? Starting to worship me now brat?"
"Ha, as if Ellie. I would sooner worship a dog. No, I'm only walking you to wherever the hell you're going to make sure no one take you. Only I can beat you after all." he stated.
"Hmph as if you can beat me." The older male stated with a smirk and the two walked down talking about how the kendo club was now that the heir was the team captain before they headed to the orphanage.
"We'll I'll stop here. I better be heading home now anyway. Don't you die on me Ellie. I'm the one to kill you."
"Ha. I should be saying that to you." and with that Eli headed to the orphanage playground where he would usually meet Clear. Yet it was there that he saw something he shouldn't have seen. Something that prevented him from controlling himself and making the worst mistake of his life.
The next day in court after Ren had given some more points to Eli, the lawyer of the hostess stood up. "While I must say, Ramsey-san does have come credit there is only one problem."
Hmmm? Problem? Ren turned towards the aqua haired man who couldn't look at him in the eye. Great, the guy got into a fight didn't he?
"According to the foster parents at the orphanage, Ramsey-san was seen beating up on the kids and had to be pulled away from them. Even then though he screamed how he would kill them."[/style] |

What? Did he hear her right? He...he couldn't believe it. All he could do was stare. Eli...punched a kid? Yes he knew the guy was not bright and had ignored a lot of the left hand's advice to stay away from fights or even the underground world in general. Let someone else handle it for the time being. Okay sure they would lose territory but they can always regain it. Clear on the other hand they did not. That was why he went out of his way to get the gangs to avoid Eli, all the ones he had some kind of control over to which he will admit was not much but he did try to get some to start war with each other as means to distract them. He couldn't get them all, that was why the idiot gets into fights and he had a plan for this. It was natural for someone like the dark blue haired male who was finicky and always covering his steps. But this....this situation...-
He had no plans for it.
All he can do was just stare before recollecting himself. "Pardon me?" he merely asked. Although he was sure he had heard correctly and hearing it from the woman's mouth would not help the case but a part of him still couldn't believe that his boss was that stupid.
"Like I said, he beat up a kid and threatened to kill him. Do you have anything to say for this Ramsey-san?"
Eli stayed quiet for a moment before finally stating. "Yeah I beat the stupid bastard and he deserved it. He should die."
Not helping the case at all. Ren glared at the aqua haired male still holding his composure even if he can feel it slowly slipping. Everything he went through, all the work and danger he went through was going to be for nothing because of this stupid retard! "Your honor...I request for the court to be adjourned while I investigate on this." on stated. The judge had nodded but not before stating.
"Very well but Ramsey Eli will not be allowed near the orphanage that the child in question is placed in."
"What!? YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO F-" started Eli taking a step towards the judge only for his left hand to grab him by the hand and interrupted him.
"Yes your honor. Come Boss, we should get going now." he stated and in case the guy wanted to defy him, "For Nero's sake."
And with that the two man walked down into the halls. For a moment there was silence between the two because there was nothing to say. Said silence was broken by a laugh that parted from Ren's lips. "Ahhh Boss hurting a child." he commented airily before suddenly grabbing the guy by the collar and pushing him against the wall. Normally he would not have the strength to do so. No, perhaps even in special circumstances where he would have the adrenaline he would not be able to perform such a feat. So how was he able to do it here? Easy. Surprise.
Eli had not suspected it and felt his body just going back until he was against the wall. He was about to push the left hand away when he saw the look in the other male's mismatched eyes. It wasn't the one with fake amusement or the one devoid of any emotions when lecturing. No...although it was similar to the later, there was a small spark of anger in it. It was the first time the male had seen any form of genuine emotions in the left hand's eyes actually.
"Eli." he started not bothering to call him boss anymore. "I know you are the biggest idiot in the world. In fact I have no idea how you survived so long. Either you have the biggest luck or a lot of people died for you like Nero-san has. So I was prepared if you started a fight with some gang. I can call it self-defense but for you to do something this retarded as to start a fight with a kid?" he spoke his voice still devoid of emotions. It held no ferocity like the words did. "I should had killed the woman when I had the chance. Should had bribed the witness but you decided for me not to so I followed it but I expected you to be smarter than this or tell me....you just don't care about that child at all do you?" he asked his grip tightening and his eyes starting to become more narrowed. His smile still there but it held malice instead of the usual polite mask he held. Yet such a scene didn't last for more than two minutes before he let the guy go and put on his mask. "Please be smarter next time. Lawyers only get money if they win." he stated.
That's right...he was only worried over the money. He could care less for the deceased right hand or the child. He had already wasted his efforts and he expected to get reward in cold green cash. Yet as he headed down he couldn't help but wonder...Eli was a violent idiot but...he would't start a fight with a kid for no reason. There had to be something to this.
Eli can only stare as his lawyer left unsure of what had just happened. Slowly he shook his head, he should go visit-...oh right. He can't. A part of him wanted to be defiant but then, he had already caused enough problem on their plate. No point in causing even more...their chance of winning was already low huh? The man sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. What was he going to do now? He remembered how Clear always looked forward to seeing him even if he didn't talk much. He didn't know what he was suppose to say to a little kid and a little girl no less. Yet she was always smiling whenever he came by and he didn't get it at all. Was she waiting for him right now then? Did she knew that he couldn't come visit her? What was she thinking right now?
In the end, angered but not being able to fight, he went home and drank. He didn't bother to go to a bar, there was no reason to. He didn't care about the women either. He just wanted to waste time.
The next day the two men came back to the courtroom, Ren wearing his usual polite smile. "As we all know yesterday my client here have injured a kid to the point where he had to go to the hospital. For that the Kazehaya shall cover it." Less money to steal from..joy. "There is no erasing what has happened but your honor I would like to make a request for a character testimony and a witness afterwards." he stated.
"Objection! The character testimony has already passed."
"Better late than never wouldn't you say?" Ren countered back keeping his polite tone.
"Overruled but who would you like to call."
The dark blue haired male walked over and handed a piece of paper to the judge before turning around and declaring the name. "Clear-san." he stated.
As to be expected the lawyer on the other side had stood up to object. "She is far too young. She is only seven years old!"
Her words almost made Eli's lawyer smirk...just almost. "Ara? Are you saying that the words of the child should mean nothing in court?" he asked innocently arching a brow. Of course the woman had backed down and he turned to the judge. "What do you say, your honor?"
There was a moment of silence as the judge contemplated this. "....Very well I suppose."
And with that a call was made to the orphanage and Clear was brought in. At seeing Eli she gave a smile but could not talk to him because she had to talk to the lawyer. At this time Ren had slipped out to settle certain business and had one of the Kazehaya member take his place. The one with the rather strange hair.
"So Clear...tell us about Ramsey Eli."
"Daddy?" she asked tilting her head to the side. There were some strange looks sent her way but she ignored it. "Well Daddy is a really nice man. He always comes to the orphanage to play with me even if we can't play long. And he buys me food as well like a Big Mac!" she shouted with a gleeful smile. "And...and....and the other day...ummm....err"
"What is it?"
Clear looked around for a moment before shaking her head. "Nothing."
"Clear...you have to tell us everything. Are you sure this is nothing?"
"Yes."
Very well. Someone take her back room now."
And with that the girl was taken to the back room where someone was to tend to her. It was then that Ren had came back with the witness he needed. The guy didn't need too much convincing really and he had told the court what happened. That Clear's mother had bribed him to look the other way. That the bullying happened at the very beginning and the blue haired male had decided to pull out a theory that he was sure was true. That he mother wanted Eli to have a ruined character witness and really it was a brilliant plan. She should had been something else rather than a hostess but oh well. Either way, they had won and that was all that mattered to the mismatched eye male.
With the court adjourned and Eli being declared the guardian they had left the courtroom. "Ah, looks like we made it through somehow. A rather close one." Ren chimed with his usual polite smile. "So I guess I would be taking a fee now."
"What?"
"You didn't think I would do this for free did you?" he arch a brow in mock amusement but before the other said anything he held his finger in front of the guy. "Before you yell isn't there someone you should be taking home?" he asked mockingly before walking away.
Home....what did that even mean? Ren really had no clue but oh well he suppose.
Eli sighed mentally making a note to kill the left hand later before heading over to the backroom where Clear was kept. When he opened the door the girl had ran over to him.
"Daddy!" she cried out hugging him.
He had awkwardly hugged her back not used to the action. "Come on kiddo. Lets go home."
She stared at him for a while before smiling and nodding. "Okay!"[/style] |
