He still remembered the shock he had when his boss had one day told him that they were now working with the Tsukami. Apparently the Tsukamis have left the Shiro family- something he suppose would had happened from what he had heard in the underground world but it had happened much sooner than he had anticipated. Of course that still did not explain to him why the alliance was made. No, he had gotten that from their left hand, Azusa- someone he had noted to have far too much talent to waste on such an inexperienced and easily manipulated head. Apparently this alliance was suggested by the Tsukami, the head himself in fact, and their goal was to destroy the Shiros. Eli had for one reason or another agree- possibly because he himself hated the Shiros for being unmanly or because the two gang had this strange rivalry. Yes...rivalry was the word to put it right as they were not enemies or at least it did not feel like it with how Eli would thwart any attempts on the Tsukami's head's life and the Tsukami would make sure that the Kazehaya leader would not be taken advantage of as well. In a way it was almost as if they always had this alliance and it has now been solidified. Of course naturally the left hand of the Kazehaya- and in all honesty he was sure the left hand of the Tsukami, was not fond of this but for the sake of their heads they have willingly obeyed. He had came to the Tsukami manor quite often now- or at least often in his case as he rarely ever comes to a place more than one unless it was absolutely necessary and much to his misfortune it was necessary and because of that he would at times see her. It was not often though, no, but there were times where he would see long flowing purple locks running past him to open the door and run out somewhere. From what he heard from the various servants and gang member, it was usually either to school to take her classes or it was to the hospital for volunteering but she would always come back. One day he had came over the moment she was coming back and so they had ran into each other. As they both had the same destination they had walked next to each other. "I see your cousin is still not fond of me." he had commented airily as usual starting with the bad points just to see her reaction to him. "I don't know what you expect seeing as you did stab her." she had replied back but her voice was not condoning. No, it had no malice staying perfectly neutral. "Didn't she stab me back though? An eye for an eye or something like that." Speaking of eye didn't her brother lose one? He had wanted to add that in but decided against it...for now. Another opportunity could always come up or if not then he would make one himself. There was no comment to that and she just continued to walk in silence. It did not last long though before she started a conversation. "Are you here to report something today?" "Yes. I am reporting the end of a gang that Shiros have affiliated themselves with." he stated and of course instantly he saw the small doubt in her eyes. It did not last long but he knew what she was thinking. Did you kill them? He had chuckled rather amused at his assumption. "If it makes you happy I didn't kill anyone. I had someone call in the police for me." Ah yes, his little assistant who had the brother in the police force. For a moment he saw that look of relief in her eyes and also a smile formed. A smile towards him. A smile that held pride and happiness...towards a demon like him. For a moment he was taken back and it seems like she had caught that as her smile was soon replaced by worry. "Is something wrong Ren?" He was quick to put on his usual mask that took the shape of a polite smile. "I suppose you can say something is wrong. I'm so sad I didn't kill anyone this time." he stated with a chuckle and he can catch her shaking her head. "You don't believe in that." "How would you know?" The girl didn't reply as they neared the house but before opening the door to let the two of them in she stared at the man. "I'm really glad you didn't kill anyone Ren." "Of course you would. They would come back and perhaps kill me." "I won't let them. If they hurt you then I will heal you." "Really now?" "Yes." and with that she opened the door to allow Ren to go inside and of course summarize his report for both his boss and the members of the Tsukami gang. Once he had finished his report though he walked out to see Miyuki standing outside. "You're brother is still not done yet." he told her. It would seem like it would take a long while as he was talking to his left hand and Eli- most likely if they could trust Ren's report or not. He knew that his boss would trust him or at least be able to easily spot a lie but the problem would always be the other two. "Are you going home?" she suddenly asked him. "And if I am?" "I shall see you out." "Oh? You wanna kick me out that badly? Unfortunately though I am to remain by boss's side until he comes home." He didn't trust to leave the man alone with the Tsukamis. Who knows they might try to manipulate him, he certainly was stupid enough. "I see, well then would you mind some company?" "Hmmm?" would he? Well he would need someone to mess with and he did like his life quite a bit so he didn't plan to mess with Kaori or to run into her ever again. "My my, are you starting to enjoy my company? That isn't good for you Tsukami-san...I might just taint you." he replied but had followed her as she led him to her room which was rather neat but he suppose that was to be expected of the angel known as Tsukami Miyuki. "I heard you are pursing to be a nurse?" he had asked taking a seat on her table as she took one on her chair. "Yes. I told you didn't I? A long time ago. I will become a nurse to save people." "Even me?" "Even you." A small chuckle parted from his lips at her words. "There is nothing for you to save then." he had merely stated. "No...you didn't kill the gang. That means you're not a demon after all." "You know Tenshi-san, not every demon kills for fun. I only kill out of necessity." he told her with a small smirk. "What hospital are you working at?" "Then I would rather for it to never be necessary for you Ren. And I work at the general hospital downtown." "Ahh not too far." he commented airily. "Maybe I'll come visit you sometime then." In case he ever has nothing to do. Yes...that sounded nice. Soon he can hear Eli's footsteps as they were rather loud and without warning he had stood up and walked out the door. As he left he could hear Miyuki giving him a farewell but he didn't give any to her back.[/style]

[atrb=style, width: 350px; background-color: #fff;][style=font-family: tahoma; font-size: 9.2px; color: #494949; text-align: justify; padding: 10px; line-height: 12px;] [style=background-color: #494949; padding: 2px; height: 100px; width: 100px; opacity: 0.8; margin-right: 5px; float: left;][/style] The week after Ren had been able to take down another gang of the Shiros and even scared some of them to fear the alliance between the Kazehaya and Tsukami. Oh yes, it was rather easy to spread the rumors and just watch fear take the hearts of people and so there was no need to kill them, all he had to do was show up and declare himself as a Kazehaya due tot he fact that he had blue hair and demand for them to cut their ties with the Shiros and they will be allowed to survive as neither gangs have interest in them right now. Due to this he didn't exactly have to do plans as much as just pay visits but he did it slowly because he knew how many gangs are connected to the Shiros, if they were to all cut ties, surely one would question what was was happening and so when Rin was at school taking her college classes, he had went over to the hospital to visit Miyuki in order to waste some time. They would talk about various topics but never about the underground life or at least no in the hospital anyway. No, they would just talk about their little philosophies on humankind or how their day was and when he told her that he didn't see anyone get hurt, there was always that small gleam of relief in her eyes and a smile as well. The way she smiled towards him...he didn't know why but he craved for it to the point where he would go out and negotiate the gang giving up some of his money to bribe them- of course he would always steal it back as he was a rather miserly man. Then one day during the middle of their conversation during Miyuki's break, one of the nurse ran into the patient room that they had borrowed for their talk. "Tsukami-san we have an emergency! Watanuki-san is asking for you again! He says that he will kill himself with out!" and instantly the Tsukami girl had stood up. Ren did not know who this person was but already he didn't like the guy. While the two workers ran to the room, he had merely walked behind them to see a man with dark raven hair screaming out for someone by the name of Kyouka. Miyuki had ran over and clasped her hand over his. "I'm here." she told him and he instantly gathered what was going on. Miyuki was trying to help this guy by giving him hope and being his sister. "Kyouka...don't leave me. Please don't ever leave me again." "I won't. I'll never leave you." What a disgusting sight. The man found himself walking out of the room and slamming the door behind him. Of course, she would always try to save the oh so poor unfortunate souls of this world. She would give them the hope to live and make this world so bright, she was an angel after all and he had forgotten about that. Somewhere along the way of their years of knowing each other he had forgotten about that he gritted his teeth. She would so easily stay by that man's side when she quickly had left his for that guy. That guy that didn't even know her! That guy that thought she was someone else! That guy that dare take what was his- wait...she wasn't his. She wasn't his. She had never been his, he could never obtain her despite the fact that he would go out of his way to see her smile. Despite the fact that he had waited until the day she would come to him...she never did. He slowly moved away from the door and walked back to the bar. Luckily Logan was out most likely in some club or perhaps with Desiree- he honestly didn't care but having a key himself he was able to get in and have the place for himself. Yet instead of serving himself the drinks- due to the fact that he had a hatred for them, he went up to his room and lied on his bed and all he can think of was the scene of her holding that man's hand to give him comfort. He can remember her voice that said she would not leave that man alone...just like how she had stated she would not leave him alone when he was in danger. Did that mean to get her attention, he had to put himself in danger? He honestly rather not do that due to the fact that he has the normal fear of death. Wait...why was he even thinking about this in the first place? Right now he had to think of what gang to visit next and so he grabbed the stack of paper that was on the counter next to his bed. Ren stared at the paper trying to plan on where to go but yet the images could not escape his mind. Did she give the same smile she gave to him towards that man? Of course...because he knew that he did not have a place in her heart because he was a demon and did not deserve shelter there. Yet he wanted it...he wanted her heart...no, he wanted everything from her. Her body, her mind, her heart, her soul, everything but did not know how. He had waited- and now thinking back he could not believe he waited and tried his best to have faith in someone. No, why did he have faith? Sure he was a patient man and did not mind waiting to get what he wanted but to have faith that it would be given to him? What a laugh! As if, everything he had got in his life, he had to crawl, steal, take or kill for! So what made him think that she would be any different, yes if he wanted her he would have to find some way to get her. He knew that he could not just steal her away, no, but there has to be someway and as he gazed at the list of gang names along with how strong they were...an idea came to his mind. Yes, that will work perfectly. The next week, Ren had walked with Rin to the hide out of the Yoshida gang but he stopped in front of the entrance. It was a small gang really as it was still starting out but had the protections of the Shiros as most gangs that pay for them. Too bad since they were so diverse, they couldn't keep an eye on everyone. "Rin-chan, go home. I'll take care of this myself." "What? Are you sure Dasoku-kun? What if they try to hurt you?" "Don't worry, they won't." he told her with a polite smile. "I'll be back. Oh when I come back can I have some cupcake with vanilla frosting? I feel like having some sweets to celebrate before I go do my report." "Hai." and with that she had walked away although rather hesitantly as she gazed at him until she could no longer see him did she truly pay attention to what was in front of her. The left hand quickly loaded his gun and check the various detonators he had. He entered the place and easily shot them all because they had waited for some agreement or perhaps to get some money out of him but when the first thing they saw was a bullet through their leader's head, shock had overtook them giving the man a chance to shoot them all down. He had killed the small gang of twenty in the course of two minutes quickly drawing multiple guns. He stood still as he stared blankly as the scene in front of him, the walls and floor coated with crimson blood...just like his body. Ah yes...it has been a while since he has been in such a scene. A small smirk played on his lips at that thought as he can feel it once again...yes...this was the Dasoku Ren that was the demon, the Dasoku Ren that he always had been.[/style]

At first she had thought that he was merely busy being the envoy and dividing which gang to go to with Azusa but even then though he would usually at least text or call her right? She could not understand what he was doing but had pushed it away from her mind as she needed to focus on something else at the moment, the job that she had volunteered for. There were a lot of people who needed to be tended or talked to after all. When she had came home that night she felt a sudden air of tension that felt thick enough to suffocate someone. If she had not been used to tension she would had left the house but she was the daughter of Tsukami Katsuo and had dealt with tension when her brother ran away. Once inside the first person she saw had been Azusa. "Is something wrong Azusa-ni?" she asked looking at him curiously. The quiet Tsukami gazed at her for a moment before looking away. "Dasoku Ren had killed a gang today. He even took pictures of it just for us." he stated looking at the folder placed on the table. What? The girl turned her head towards the folder. Why would he kill? No...she knew why, he would only kill out of necessity so that meant that someone must had threatened his life right? "Is...is he hurt?" she asked. "He's fine." her cousin replied his voice laced with venom. That bastard was fine alright, he didn't have a single injury on him at all- or at least when he had came back. Yes, he remembered the report and how the man stated that it was out of necessity. Eli had punched the left hand Kazehaya member for saying those words and when Ren had been dismissed, the aqua haired man said that he was't lying but there was something up and he didn't like it. In truth, neither did Azusa, Ren was too much of a variable that could go out of hand. Miyuki had slowly walked up to the table and opened up the folder to see so many people with bullets through them. It had not just been one mere hole but several as if he was playing with them while they slowly die. Even worse was that there were pictures of people in their house, women and children all dead with bullets riled through them. A small gasp parted from her lips before she covered her mouth with her hands. She always knew that Ren had the capability to kill, in fact it was because of him she had her first taste at the sight of death but it was never anything like this. When he killed that underground doctor back then, it was through calculation and efficiency, he didn't enjoy it at all but this...this made it look like he enjoyed every moment of it. "W-Where is he?" she asked her voice sounding colder than usual. "Upstairs but we do not know where." Without missing a beat she had dashed upstairs and ran into her room. She didn't know why but something told her that he was there and so she quickly opened the door and stepped in only to see no one there but she spotted two cups of tea on her bedside counter. Where- before she can finish her thought she heard the door closed behind her along with the sound of a lock clicking into its place. "I was waiting for you Tenshi-san." he told her with his usual polite smile. When she turned around, she noted that she could not read him as much anymore. She didn't know why but it was as if back to the day they have met or if not, he felt even further but she didn't allow such thoughts to daunt her as she send him a glare. "Why did you do it?" she asked him. The man had tilted his head almost like a little child. "Did what?" he asked her. "Made tea? I thought you would like some." he told her walking over to pick up a cup of tea and sipping it. "You know what I am talking about Ren!" she shouted. She had thought he would stop killing and that maybe then karma would not give him a painful death. She had thought he would have a chance but then...why!? Why did he do it!? The man stared at her, it was the first time he had truly seen her this mad, to actually crack and to think all he had to do was kill some family. "Do you know that you look like your brother when you are angry? Well only with two eyes of course." he chuckled before placing the tea back onto the counter. He had even taken his place on the bed so casually as he stared at her, his eyes having small amusement at seeing this sight. This sight that he was used to, the sight of hatred. "Why did you kill them Ren!?" she asked. "Why did you torture them like that? Why did you kill all of their family too!?" "Because it was necessary." "How is it necessary?" she continued walking over to him. "So this scene can happen." he answered her before felling her hand hitting his face. "They were innocent Ren!" she cried out her eyes closed. They were innocent, they had nothing to do with the underground world and there were people on the streets that had died as well from what seems to be stray bullets. And so again she tried to slap him but this time he was able to catch her wrist with his hand and spun his body so that she was now lying on the bed. "I told you didn't I Tenshi-san? It was a necessity. Wehther they were innocent or not I don't care." he told her. "They wouldn't have killed you Ren!" "I know that." he replied back the smile now gone revealing a blank apathetic face. "They would not had been able to kill me or harm me in anyway." "Then why?" "Because of you." What? The Tsukami blinked obviously confused. Because of her? What did she have anything to do with this? The man placed his free hand over her chest being able to feel her beating heart noting that this was what a heart felt like, to feel the adrenaline pumping through her veins. Then slowly he moved it down to the top button of her shirt. "Lets make a deal Tenshi-san. A pact between just the two of us." he told her, his face still blank. "I will stop killing people needlessly, stop torturing them as they die and hear them beg for mercy if you give me what I want." "What do you want?" she asked trying to keep calm. She knew that he could not do anything to her, they were in the Tsukami household after all and she can kick him off if he tries. "I want you." he told her his eyes staring down at her. Yes, he wanted her. He wanted everything from her, he didn't know when it happened but he had learned recently that she was something he wanted and he always makes sure to get what he wants. He moved his finger from her button and stared at her. "Don't worry, I won't take your body." as that was not on his top priority right now. "I want your time. Just one hour after I do the report to get you all to myself. I don't care what happens, whether the hospital of yours get burned down or someone needs you, you will not go to them. For that one hour you would be mine and mine alone." he told her. Yes, he will start with her time, a small amount really but he didn't want to take something too big, he didn't want to force her because he was scared. He knew that he was taking his chances right now, pushing her to accept his demand but not too much that she would shun him away from her. "Do that and I will keep my deal with you but if you do not accept it then more will die and it will be all your fault because you could had prevented it. If you ever think of breaking the promise, I will kill even more than I have today. So tell me Tenshi-san...will you accept this deal?" "Ren." she stated. That was why he went through all this? Because he wanted her but did she want him? She was not sure but if she did not say yes then people would die. She could say no and warn the Tsukami and Kazehaya but then Ren would die and she knew that she would be the one to blame for it. She essentially had no choice a tall. "I accept." It was just for one hour...one hour every week. A small chuckle parted from his lips as he rested her head next to hers. "You really are a martyr." he spoke as his free arm moved to wrap her body closer to him. "So tell me, how was work and school today for you?" he asked changing the topic. He didn't want to get up yet even if his tea was getting cold, he didn't care because right now what he wanted was right in front of him. Ever since then after every report he would come to her room and they would talk. Their conversation were normal conversations but nonetheless Ren enjoyed it because she was to think of nothing but what they were talking about. Even if one of her friends called her for a problem, she was not not pick it up because no one was to steal her away from him for that hour. He would never make her do what she would not want to do though and Miyuki had mentally noted that she was able to read him again as if something in him had calmed down and she was right. The demonic beast that was inside of his mind had calmed down because of their little deal because he knew that even if he had no place in her heart yet, one day he will obtain all of it. It might take years and he might have to work and sacrifice some of his possessions but he knew that it would be worth it and he was after all a rather patient man.[/style]
