Darui Chikao Ga-den, he was one of the 5 pillars of the Ga-den clan, and yet was one of the parts of the clan the would want to keep hidden the most. He would indulge in numerous crimes from money laundering to fraud, drug trafficking and even murder. Everything was like a game to him and no matter what he refused to be the loser. Either he would win or he would always be by the winner's side. Perhaps it was the way he was raised, as the Chikao family (4th branch) always raised their children in the ways of politics but even the Chikao family found him to be a rare oddity. Something similar to a psychopath who would act with little emotion and wouldn't hesitate to do get his hands dirty if it served a greater purpose. And now that man sat on the same table as Jerry.
Jerry; *I can't admit it no matter what, if word or rumour gets out,
Darui; …then people will become cautious of me and slowly begin to lose faith, is what you're thinking just now isn't it.
Jerry; wai…
Darui; it's through the nite isn't it? You can sense the emotion of Ga-denian's through the nite you spread out. I did something similar during my time as well.
Jerry; *nothing he says was a lie, and I can't hide my surprise, it seems he's already noticed. I would continue to deny it, but I want to see we're this goes*.
Darui; *got you*.
Jerry; so when did you catch on?
Darui; from the moment I began speaking with you in that alleyway, I noticed something, you had the same look as me when I started using that ability. And it would later become obvious, after all, you didn't question most of what I told you despite having every reason to, unless you had no reason to.
Jerry; *I see, so I got to cocky*. So what do you intend to do now that you know?
Darui; let's be accomplices, we both share the same secret do we not? It will be secret kept between us.
Jerry; … *He has a good point, I don't trust him just yet, however considering most of what he said has a high chance of being true, I can't just shake it off, I'll just have to see where this goes for now*
Fine, I do admit, you've done a lot of shitty things, however, I'm not innocent either, I've killed innocent people in order to achieve my goal.
Darui; I'm glad you see it as well.
Jerry; you didn't let me finish, your methods, even if it where necessary still disgust me, and I still cant stand you because of that. But, if what you're saying is true, then I can't ignore how detrimental this is.
Darui; so do we have a deal?
Jerry; fine, but no more murder from now on.
Darui; that will be arranged.
One hour after Jerry left…
Darui; *it all went down perfectly, though I took a gamble it payed off excellently. However, I do wish I could still read others thoughts. However, my nite is so low compared to what it used to be. Back in my prime I would wipe out multiple gangs in a single night, just by telling if they we're bluffing or not. And my men would obey without question. But now, with my nite practically exhausted thanks to that bastard con, I'm reduced to that pitiful state, but at least I've been able to pick up a few things during all these years, after all, if I couldn't pick up on the boy's expressions or body language, I never could have pulled this off. *
I should get a drink.
One month later…
Uzumaki was called before the other pillars to be questioned, however it turned out to be just a double who was standing in and the real Uzumaki had been gone for over a year and a half with no traces left behind. Jerry then made his final decision…
Jerry; let's do it.
Darui; you're sure?
Jerry; this is what you wanted isn't it?
We'll publish all the evidence you've gathered. Although Kurotsuchi won't like it. The people deserve to know.
And then the next day the message was passed throughout the Ga-den clan. Thousands we're devastated, while some we're relieved as they had never trusted him. However, the person the most conflicted was…
Yuzawa; hey, I brought you some tea, would you come over already, Kuro-chan?
Kurotsuchi; thank you Yuzawa.
Yuzawa; can we finally get to the main issue, I know you and Uzumaki we're close so tell me how are you taking it?
Kurotsuchi; …
*flashback*
Uzumaki; listen to me kuro-chan we've been friends for 20 years and in that time have you ever seen me as someone who would lie, deceive or put us in a situation like this? Please listen, I want you to give the information I just gave you to the others all right. *
Kurotsuchi to Yuzawa; oh, I'm well.
Yuzawa; oh, you are?
Kuro; Yes, I am.
*It's all a lie, I'm just going to go through with it till I can prove Uzumaki's innocence, I know he can never be a traitor, something's going on and Uzumaki's being framed. But not to worry, I'll prove your innocence, and then save you. My love…*
Meanwhile in Darui's casino…
Darui; I hope this is the start of a long partnership together.
Jerry; don't get too ahead of yourself, that's something you're going to have to prove to me. Now then.
Jerry and Darui both revealed their cards.
Jerry; a royal flush, I win.
Darui; hey, hey, now don't get carried away.
Jerry; what? You were holding back or something?
Darui; of course I was! I've been playing since before you we're born dammit!
Jerry; all right another round then.
Darui; you'll regret it this time.
