"Shit!" he cursed out loud. He never expects Oata will stupid enough to harm the daughter of Hinode Family. It is a blunt move, he believes Oata never going to do anything that could bring calamity to the family. There is something strange here but he couldn't put his finger on it. He ponders for a while before he nods repeatedly. He grabs his phone and he clicks at Oata contact info. A couple of dial tone ringing before a man voice greeting him happily.
"My favourite cousin! Who do I owe the pleasure?" he smirks and laughs cheerful. Touma rarely calls him but both of them grew up together and spend most of their childhood with a lot of mischievous stuff they did. Always cause a headache for both of their parents. They are so close indeed and Oata trust Touma with his life.
"Oata, daughter of Hinode is being hit" simple and direct. He spoke with a serious tone. Oata really shocked but not because of Hinode matter but the way Touma spoke to him. No question, no tone, just a piece of simple information but knowing Touma, he knows what Touma tried to imply.
"I am not that stupid, Touma. It is nothing to do with me," he refused to take the blame but can't help but wonder why Touma is suspecting him.
"It is your shatei," once again simple and direct.
"I'll get further into this. Give me a week." now he understands why he been suspected but this news is new to him. He really knows nothing about this matter.
"Two days" he replied before the line was cut. It is Touma indeed. He is in rage right now. He normally quiet but if he is using monotone voice with a simple sentence then he is actually tried to control his wrath. Touma normally never favour violence but when it is necessary, Oata also didn't dare to calm him down. His anger will only subside after he satisfied with the outcome of punishment he put into. In Yakuza life, blood spilt is common and Touma was not an exception.
He really can't grasp on what is going on right now. Why suddenly one of his shatei act own his own. Touma sounds like he is so sure the person involved is his.
"Kazuma, Investigate the details of Young Mistress of Hinode Family and I want it today." Kazuma can see a glint of murderous aura in his eyes before it back to nothingness.
"Yes, Young master." he starts making calls to dig enough information for Oata. Oata slowly pinches between his eyes. He can feel his neck getting hard from the stress building up. 'What a mess,' he thought to himself before turns the car to his parents' residence. If this is one of the plots from Oyabun himself, his father must know about it. They both always together, always protecting each other, always have each other back and he must know if this is all their planned all along. Hurting the daughter of Hinode means to spark a war between both of the family, if this really happening, he must be ready.

Hinode Residence
"The asshole son of a bitch is Anzo's!" Keito yells out in anger. He is really angry the moment he heard about this news.
"I will kill them all! I promise!" he lashes out his dissatisfaction to both of his parents and Kaede. His beloved little sister lying frozen in bed pain his heart the most. He wishes he was the one on the bed instead.
"Calm down. I understand your anger. I am furious too but we must tread this matter really careful." Kaede tries to pacify Keito anger. He also angry but he needs to assess the situation really carefully because later on it might not only Kahina blood be shed, it may cause the entire family too.
"I agree with Kaede. Calm down Keito. Mother needs you to calm down." Now, Aomi turns to speak but more ordering than pacifying manner. Her cold expression shows how much will power she used to hold back her anger from blowing up. She looks at her husband waiting for him to speak but he been ignoring everyone and kept on caress her daughter head gently. His doting eyes and painful expression tells everyone he can't accept the reality his baby girl is in a coma. He kept on whisper to her ears begging her to wake up. He would give up everything if that can make his daughter smile again.
"Hubby..." Aomi pulls her husband to her embrace then she cups his face with both of her palms and directs a kiss to him.
"My baby girl... Honey, my baby girl..." he cried again.
"She is just in a coma, not dead. Stop crying. You are the Head of Family. Don't you find it embarrassing to cry like this." she gently coaxes him. He always seems strong to the stranger but everyone in their circle knows how his children are his weaknesses. Kaede and Keito understand their father reaction and people will wonder how this crybaby can be the Head of Yakuza. When they need to get flu shots from the doctor, he is making fuss worrying about they will hurt. He cried even louder than them when he brought them to their first flu shot. He is busy handling the family matter but never he misses any of their important events. Theirs first walk, first word, first-day school, first graduation and many more first three of them having, he always there.
"We need to get your head in the game hubby. Kahina needs justice." she stares at him before let go of his face.
"Nope, Nobu didn't initiate this. Nobu Anzo is everything but never dares of him to touch my babies. It was someone else. Someone who is wanted for both of the family to be in the war." He calmly told everyone about his finding. He already knows everything but the culprit is really good enough to leave traces of evidence to lead them to Anzo Family but never to the culprit himself. They have a new enemy they weren't aware of and this time it seems the enemy is really prepared.
"So, what should we do?" Keito asks curiously. He believes his father already has the plan to counter the enemy and the plan must be savage as usual.
"For now, let Touma Anzo handle everything. He must be really anxious right now." he then sits back to the chair beside Kahina and continues to stroke her hair again. Everyone immediately understands Takio is serious and he seems ready for everything incoming in the future.
