Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Shady Mishaps

"Are you sure we should have robbed from them? They are two scary ladies..." A man with jet black hair and baggy clothing ran away with sweat dripping down his face.

"You are still questioning my motives and ideas? didn't I tell you hundreds of times before...? This is the only way we can get money to survive on our own..." Although petrified of what could happen to them because they had stolen, the man with blonde hair spoke with conviction.

"I know but we worked under them!? They swore us into secrecy about keeping their money..."

"Face it... we are no longer useful to them and they would have thrown us away anyway! Remember!? Once upon a time ago Tatsumi! this is the only way we can get revenge on that rotten family of ours... I don't know about you but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to show them what it takes to show our family how to be successful." The man turned around to face Tatsumi with a angry expression on his face.

"You are right... I'm sorry..."

Letting out a sigh, Tatsumi looked to his side and saw coming life in the city of Tokyo as the two had made their way throughout the night with the bags of money wrapped in their backpacks and multiple credit cards stored up with tons of money. Tatsumi wanted to get out of the alleyway they were in and run away and go into hiding for a while, that way he knew he could ward off any potential threats that may lurk.

Not too long ago, Tatsumi and his brother had broken ties away from the two infamous and most wanted criminals of Tokyo. Their reason was that they wanted to show their family how to become successful in life. Tatsumi and his brother knew full well that they had to establish connections with others to be able to get away and live a successful life without being caught, they were going to disappear for a while, without a trace.

That's what they were doing, they were currently en route to a meeting they were supposed to be taking part in, the meeting had many others that were suffering in life.

The two brothers climbed down a ladder after pulling a cover that led to the sewage in the middle of the alleyway, as they came face to face with several different types of people waiting for their arrival, each individual member of their meeting had come from a different background.

Tatsumi and the man-made eye contact between the several members that joined them for their first meeting, it was safe to say that there were more than ten people who gathered on behalf of the ex-members.

"Welcome everyone... as you can probably tell... we are people who have been outcasted and are looking for a way back to strike fear and show who is the most powerful in this world!, it would be beneficial if you didn't make enemies of us. That being said, I can see you all possess different traits that can benefit us each if you just work with us!" Tatsumi passed the group members alongside his brother.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Many of the members gathered payed extra attention to the man as he led the group throughout the sewer, although the smell was bad, the lost group decided to put up with it and march on, following their leader.

"Alas, none of us would of expected the idea of teaming to be something we were considering, but! The people we have been betrayed by have forced us to do this... they pushed... and pushed... until THEN we broke, when we broke they through us away, well... I believe that those 'broken toys' they refer to us as... well we can show them what we are really about!"

Tatsumi spoke as they walked along, edging closer and closer to the meeting room.

"Oh really...? useless never changes from being useless."

A voice called out from somewhere in the shadows, startled by the familiar-sounding feminine voice, Tatsumi's eyes widened to great lengths as his heart sank.

"The hell? we've been followed! everyone draw your weapons..." Tatsumi's brother turned around.

Tatsumi exclaimed as he pulled the weapon off of his back in response, watching every nook and cranny of his surroundings, the other's watched carefully for any other signs of life. their eyes darting back and forward every time a noise was heard.

"I'm only here for these two idiots."

"Idiots? They are lowest of the low if they think they can rob off of us and get away with it!"

Tatsumi and the women giggled vigorously as they prepared themselves for a fight. swords drawn, sweat droplets began to drop off of their forehead and onto the ground as they grew more nervous as each second occurred, the two enemies' voices rang out in different directions.

"Well you are gonna have to fight us here if you want a battle."

"Yeah! you think you can just waltz in and act like you own the place? this will be ours soon..."

Another member of the lost group shouted as they tried to coerce the figure lurking out of the shadows, silence occurred for a few moments... five seconds went by... then ten seconds... and then fifteen seconds...

FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

A lump began to form in the back of Tatsumi's throat as he realized that they were going to be dealt with in a matter of seconds, the two women that they had stolen off of had always been the type of people to play with their enemies before finishing them off.

"I guess whoever was watching us has left... what a coward!"

"Yes... its rather annoying to have a disgusting person who thinks they can beat us all, hide in the shadows like the coward they are..."

Roars of laughter resumed amongst the many members of the different clans, taking the silence from the shadows as a victory, once more, any sound lurking was covered up by the talking and chatting amongst themselves.

"I'm right here..."

"GAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

A figure swooped down and took out a nearby meeting member as the shadow seemingly swept under Tatsumi's legs, putting him to the ground, the woman pulled out of a sword before turning to the several enemies that swarmed him.

A grin appeared on her face as she stared into the eyes of Tatsumi, those eyes of her told him that her sister was nearby.

"Who the hell are you!?"

"I think its time you give us what is ours and then we deliver some justice

The figure wearing combat pants and combat boots with a tank top to go with it, quickly turned its head over its shoulders as it got a better site of the enemies he was going to have to face, one... two... three... the woman continued counting but she knew there was more than she could count on both of his hands.

The second sister knew she could deal with her enemies and her sister would deal with the rest.

"You... How did you find us here!? HOW?!" Tatsumi stepped forward with a baffled expression on his face.

"Enough talking already..."

The quick speed that the woman used to her advantage to throw ninja stars had allowed her sister to quickly throw down a smoke bomb and be hidden in plain sight... She continued to move within the midst of the smoke until she reached her first victim... the pathetic attempt at throwing a deadly swing at the woman's face had been quickly parried as she was quickly disarmed his second attack and thrown against the wall, unable to react in time, the figure walked closer and threw several powerful punches into the man's stomach.

Grabbing the first victim by the shoulder and pushed him off of the wall, instead into a swing by the second victim that was coming the woman's way.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Screams of pain were released as the first victim was stabbed in the shoulder by another victim that dared to attack the woman, the second victim gritted his teeth as he saw the figure walking closer towards him through the smoke that crowded them.

Pulling the pistol out as quickly as possible, the woman quickly reacted to his quickdraw by throwing a roundhouse kick and aiming her heel at the middle of his neck.

"FUCK YOU!"

Clenching his jaw, the second attack quickly moved at blistering pace as he tried to get the jump on the hooded figure, to his dismay the figure quickly dodged and returned the attack with a powerful kick to the stomach.

"GAAHHHHHHH!"

"YOU! YOU RUINED IT ALL! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"

The first sister peered over her shoulder as she spotted the robbers behind her already, however due to the excessive amount of fog/smoke, the third attacker failed to hit his target as he stabbed at thin air.

A moment or so later, the figure realised what was happening, instead choosing to watch the shadows around him as he waited for the woman to appear once more.

She had vanished as quickly as she appeared within the midst of the smoke.

"FACE ME COWARD! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! YOU DESERVE NONE OF THIS! LOOK AT YOU! YOUR NOTHING!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"GUHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The sound of screams could be heard as Tatsumi watched his back consistently, making sure the woman could not get the jump on him at any time, instead, opting to protect himself rather than help out the others.

With the sound of weapons being dropped onto the ground and people being thrown to the ground from all different directions, the man known as Tatsumi did not know where he was going to be attacked from.

After a few moments of pained screams and blood curdling sounds of pain, silence was the only thing echoing... everything grew quiet once more... the smoke around Tatsumi began to clear up, however there was enough to stop the man from seeing the body being flung at him.

Dodging it at just in the nick of time, Tatsumi quickly lunged forward to attack the figure before it could even begin to react, however being bested by the figure, Tatsumi felt the relentless pain that came from his stomach, the figure quickly grabbed the head of Tatsumi and dragged his head across the stone cold brick wall as the man let out a scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The skin on Tatsumi's face began to become heavily damaged as it left a clear mark of blood on the wall, the figure threw the man towards the ground below him as he towered over him with a powerful aura growing around him.

"Haaahhhhh! Hahhhhh!" Tatsumi let out a breath as he clutched the damaged side of his face.

"If you would of just complied and let me take my money back, you would of been let off much easier than like this..." The woman let out a sigh as she stood over the damaged man. the smoke around them that her sister had dropped down was quickly disappearing.

"Nee-san? Are you coming already? I have the money! Let's go!" Tatsumi looked up at the woman he had robbed, her soft blonde hair had matched her sisters.

"I'm coming!" One last glance at Tatsumi before walking away with a look of disgust on his face.

Tastumi let out a roaring laugh as he made it abundantly clear that he was not afraid of Ichika Orimura.

'Oh... What the hell did I get myself into...? OW! Owwwwwwwwwww...'

"What's the plan now nee-san? Spend the money we earned on whatever the hell we want!?" The distant voices of the two women who had beat them to a pulp had quickly vanished.

Tatsumi used his free hand to reach for his phone in his pocket, unlocking the screen and intending to call the emergency service for the damage done to his face.

"Hello? I'd like to report a crime and I need medical attention."
