Futago
Small struggle.

"Good, means Fumihiro is doing his job right." Grandpa Ryuuji's voice broke the silence.

"They're half moving. And we can't just shut up. The Yakuza higher ups must be looking for the young master, how about if the young master gets caught again." The black hoodie male Hiza opened her voice.

"It's none of our business Hiza, our situation is also unfavorable. We still don't know where ojou chan is." Jojo's hoarse voice filled the table.

Silent.

"Ojou chan is in a dangerous state, we should immediately ask the whereabouts of ojou chan to Daren dono." Ame looked at Mizutani.

"That's not the problem." Everyone was silent waiting for Mizutani to continue.

"Our suspicions have been true, there is someone else behind the yakuza, as the main residence's protectors have already moved and shown themselves making the yakuza and other gangsters wary. That person must be on standby waiting for the time to strike back." Mizutani.

"Mahaha ..." Grandpa Ryuuji laughed loosely, and the others smiled cynically, some were smiling widely.

"This is our clan, they must be slapped hard to open their eyes properly." Ryuuji's grandfather said then speechless, there was a glint in his wrinkled eyes.

"Who once managed to protect, fought on the front lines, our clan. First emperor. Wounding the main family is like flying the war flag for us." Ryuuji's grandfather's long words awakened the small flames into a large, blazing flame within the veins of every shadow member.

"I'm sorry, it looks like my young spirit is waking up." Grandpa Ryuuji shook his hand.

"We're also like that Ryuuji san." Ame smiled as agreed by the others.

"Ryuuji san, the problem is we have to find the person behind the yakuza before that person attacks us." Dazai opened the voice that was embraced by Mizutani.

"True, it's still a mystery until now." Chibi scratched the tip of her nose.

"In addition, the strange pattern that the main residence's protector used to attack deeply troubled me." Ogura who had been silent since then opened his voice.

Dazai was silent, he glanced at Mizutani who remained seated quietly.

Only ojou chan knew what the pattern of the attack meant, but why didn't Tsubaki extract information from ojou chan, that information was desperately needed at times like these, in order for us to guess the mysterious man's plan, Dazai's inner self.

"I have a plan." Mizutani begins to explain her plan. All the members listened without missing a single word.

The meeting lasted quite a long time, already three hours passed, arguments continued to be thrown, rejection, addition of plans, changes, until the sound of the door opened to distract them all.

"What is this?." Akashi was the first to speak.

Mizutani who was busy with sketches on the table saw everyone staring in the other direction, she turned to her left side.

A woman stood up straight with a mask covering her face. Mizutani knew who that person was, he memorized the owner of that body. Like burning gasoline, Mizutani's blood boiled instantly.

While everyone was still shocked by the presence of strangers except Jojo, Ogura, and Ryuuji's grandfather, Mizutani threw her right hand to the right side, hitting Dazai's chest quite hard, then his hands scooped rough front clothes Dazai pulled him suddenly.

The two men are standing, errat. Only Mizutani who stood firmly Dazai doyong forward smashed into the table.

"DAZAIII !!!." The heavy sound of Mizutani was like a lightning strike inside that basement.

For the first time Yuki trembled, he did not expect that the always patient, firm, and calm Mizutani could become such a beast. The aura of the owners of the seats was also not playful.

Some people stared at Mizutani and Dazai, some just sitting casually but there were two people who were reluctant to distract him from Yuki. Akashi and Ryuuji's grandfather.

"Subak."

BUGH!.

A heavy blow from his left hand knocked Dazai's body down on the floor. Mizutani kicked her chair back until it smashed into the door, she stepped furiously close to her friend.

Dazai tried to stand looking straight at Yuki's bead.

Sorry ojou chan, this is my end, Inner Dazai.

Mizutani raised his left hand to launch a second attack.

ZAP UP!.

Mizutani widened her eyes to see a needle stick in the back of her hand.

Yuki who saw the sound of Mizutani's punch came to a realization, his adrenaline was awakened, the punch was very loud, Yuki was sure that Dazai must have been seriously injured. Dazai's bead looked at Yuki, the same look in the eyes as Dimas stared at him for the last time, somewhat different but having one thing in common, farewell.

Yuki stiffened his jaw, he would not let a single person die again.

Wuuushh.

Yuki threw his hidden needle, without waiting any longer he ran forward as fast as lightning. Akashi grinned broadly at Yuki without blinking.

Yuki did not lower his speed, his hands holding Jojo and Ogura's shoulders sitting next to each other made the two people surprised, Yuki's shoulders made a pedestal, the two people's shoulders made a pedestal, he made a forward salto and landed by bending his right foot while the left foot he used to kick Mizutani's face. Mizutani who was getting an attack suddenly pulled both of her hands to hold back Yuki's kick, the man took a few steps back.

"Shooiiiiittt ..." Akashi whistling.

Yuki jumped down standing in front of Dazai.

Proks. Proks. Proks. Proks.

Akashi clapped.

"What is this?, there's a traitor here." Chibi Chirps.

"Tch!." Ogura looked at the cynical Dazai.

"Dazai chiin!." Ame cried out in disbelief.

Hiza stared intently at the masked woman, she seemed familiar with such a kick.

"Surge!." Furious Mizutani, the fire is still burning hot.

"It's my fault, it's okay." Said Dazai coming out from behind Yuki's back walking towards Mizutani.

Is he crazy!?, Yuki exclaimed inwardly.

Mizutani who saw Dazai walking towards him directly charged forward of course Yuki did not stay silent. Yuki pulls Dazai's arm while turning around kicking Mizutani's neck as his target. Mizutani bends his left hand holding Yuki's kick, Yuki knows his attack won't work therefore he immediately pulls his leg and slingshot forward delivering troublesome punches.

Mizutani continued to defend without attempting to attack. Tired of Yuki taking out a needle pointing it at Mizutani's neck. Mizutani was silent, looking into the eyes of the mask trying to see the hidden blue bead.

"I know he's wrong but the root of the problem is me." Lirih Yuki who could only be heard by those two people.

"Do you think I can disguise myself as Daren's student and daughter with the color of my eyes." Mizutani is trying to regulate the emotions that are inside her.

The Mizutani colleagues who saw the surprised look of their leader suddenly moved to help except for Dazai and Ryuji's grandfather.

Zaps. Zaps. Zaps. Zaps. Zaps. Zaps.

Their steps came to a halt, avoiding the needles that floated into their respective chests.

What is this?!, they exclaimed inwardly.

I'm sure by now, he's ojou chan. The needle, the kick, was exactly like the night when I infiltrated his room, Inner Hiza looked at Yuki's back.

"Waaaahhh, why is it so accurate. He turned his back on us." Akashi impressed.

"Tch. Maybe he has eyes on the back of his head." Ogura.

"When do you want to play with cats like this?." Yuki kept the needle back.

Mizutani took a heavy breath, this girl in front of him was really reckless and stubborn.

Puk.

Mizutani places her right hand on the top of Yuki's head.

"Are ..?!." Akashi and Ame.

"Are we shooting an action romance movie?." Celtap Jojo.

"Tsubaki you better explain it to us quickly." Chibi's great-grandson in her soft voice.

"Tch. Suspect commotion pretending to be innocent." Ogura quipped Dazai.

Mizutani stared into the eyes of the wolf mask.

"Don't open your mask, just show me the tattoo on your arm. Not yet time for your face to be seen." Said Mizutani lowering her hand.

"Wait." Mizutani glanced down looking at Yuki taking out a strange object then pairing it under the tongue.

What else is that?, Inner Mizutani.

After feeling safe, Mizutani leads Yuki to stand at the end of the table where her chair should be. The man and the leader took a deep breath holding it for two seconds then slowly exhaled.

Mizutani does not expect Dazai to take Yuki to the shadow protection headquarters without her permission, otherwise the other shadow friends will not let Yuki out alive even if Mizutani and Dazai protect her. The only way is to reveal Yuki's identity.

Silent everyone was waiting, Dazai who was still in pain tried to stand up straight he could not sit back because of the mistake he had made, besides that his chair was also damaged.

Mizutani stood firmly beside Yuki's right, her eyes turning serious yet she had regained her calm.

"I'm sorry I should have taken him after we managed to capture the mastermind behind the main residence raid, to keep him safe and his identity hidden." Mizutani said firmly with very polite language. Yuki who heard also remembered the noble manners lesson by his master first.

Yuki could clearly see the look on his face questioning, belittling, and confused. His blue bead captured the silhouette of someone he had seen infiltrating his room. Mizutani continued her sentence.

"Ojou chan is back in Japan."

Gluey!.

They all gasped except for Mizutani, Dazai, and Hiza.

Yuki understood he had to convince everyone there, slowly his hand opened the jeans jacket on the left, the black shirt without his arm not covering the small black tattoo on the snow-white skin, looks already tattooed that Yuki has never shown to anyone else, only Hotaru and the Fathur family have seen it.

Silent.

Silent.

Silent.

The srek!.

Ryuuji's grandfather pushed back his chair, resuscitating a reality that seemed to have stalled a few seconds ago. The old man shifted his body out of the chair, stepping back two jengkal. The other members who had regained consciousness immediately followed Ryuuji's grandfather out of their seats, even Mizutani who had been standing next to Yuki moved away a little and then faced the girl.

Like in a strong wind in the middle of a garden full of spring flowers. Gives a feeling that Yuki herself does not remember but is full of longing. That was what Yuki felt when their voices all burst into his eardrum.

"WELCOME TO THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE SHADOW PROTECTOR, OJOU SAMA!." They simultaneously dropped their right knee to the floor bending their left knee to support their folded left hand.

Yuki tightly closed her mouth, her rebellious tears wanting to come out. The two hands beside her body were clenched tightly until the whitened fingertips held back the emotional turmoil that even Yuki could not remember what he had missed.

In silence Yuki stared one by one at the nine shadows, from his right side. Mizutani solemnly lowered his gaze, Dazai was the same, the man with long wounds under his eyes, the empty chair then the small and short man, too, even Ryuuji's grandfather placed his wand on the floor right next to the old body, the woman with the short haircut made her look like a young woman, the black hoodie of her room intruder, the man with shoulder-length hair, the woman with the short haircut made her look like a young woman, and lastly the burly man.

Yuki pulled the corner of her lips for some reason but she quickly removed it, exhaling softly to calm her heart, her fist loosening.

"Thank you, but I don't deserve your respect. Stand up." The calm yet graceful sounding sound of charisma made the shadows who were new to the impromptu fact feel confident that the girl in front was their master.

"No ojou the same, you deserve our respect. Even our lives are yours." Yuki was now looking straight at the old back across the table.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it. Now stand up." They stood by the orders of their master.

"Please sit back." They bowed slightly and then sat back down except for the two men who knew Yuki longer.

Yuki turned his head to look at Mizutani waiting for the man to take over. Fortunate enough, Mizutani stands back beside Yuki.

"I hope you all understand the situation now, Daren dono previously did not agree to send ojou san back to Japan but the decision of the great mistress cannot be contested. Therefore, Daren dono gave the order to me to protect and supervise the ojou san, I was also given the restriction of giving this information to the shadow members." Mizutani.

Well, Yuki still remembers the debate of his father and grandmother while in Korea, but at that time Yuki did not know why his father strictly forbade him to return to Japan and only a few months ago Yuki understood and understood the concerns of the father. Even Yuki was so shocked that her father had been worrying about her all this time and was trying to protect her from past memories. WAIT!, past memories?!.

Yuki was immediately aware of his careless recklessness assembling all the information he could. If what Yuki thinks is right about his father, then the father knows his illness!, the right conclusion. Yuki's daydream came to a halt due to the voice of the woman on the other end.

"Who are you telling me, boy?." There was a resentful tone from Ame's voice because she didn't know at all about that important information.

"Dazai and Hiza san." Mizutani replies that covering up the fact that two of her confidants are always ready to remove any traces of Yuki's illness is like cleaning up blood stains on the school roof.

"Tch!." Ogura turned his face away, just like Ame he was annoyed at not knowing about this.

"Why does Daren dono limit this important information?. Besides why are those two the ones you told Tsubaki about?." Akashi pointed at Hiza and Dazai with both hands.

"Akashi, this is the result if you take too long to take care of your fields. Fill your head with rice and vegetables." Chibi's chirps made Akashi squint her eyes at the short man next to her.

"Akashi san." Mizutani's call distracts Akashi from Chibi, staring at the man who called her.

"I chose Hiza san because Hiza san is one of the school's donors. Ojou san goes to school where I teach." Mizutani glanced at Dazai.
