The Okinawa island has been divided into four, the north, south east and west. The underworld, I mean the dark or night life, something like the Yakuza but not exactly one, fearsome just like the Yakuza but less than them but more than normal thugs, that's what I am and my subordinates are, and somehow we have been named as the once who rule the north of Okinawa

We neither kill for pleasure nor steal, we do whatever we can to stay alive, I am responsible for all of my subordinates life. I treasure them, since we have gone under so many hardships, we have starved we have been at ours wits end the rope which was rugged, only a last. single string holding it together, but if we worked together we could make it good as new again. That’s what we are, even though we may not look like it.

For about three years we have lived in harmony, that was until they came, Izumi and his brethren, they called themselves ‘The Beast of the South’. He came at us with all his might to crush us thinking the rumors of us being the ruler of north as the truth.

My first encounter with Izumi was a funny one, it was at a supermarket.

“Well this should be sufficient for all the boys right?”

Hmm?

Sora looked around to find the person whose presence he was intrigued by.

“Hmm, I'm not sure but I could have sworn that there was som~”

“Could you help me out please?”

Sora looked back at surprise, at the voice which called out to him from behind.

When did he get here? He wasn’t there a second ago...

“Y~yeah sure, whats up pal?”

“Do you happen to live in this neighborhood?”

“K~kind of....nande?”

“Hmm, I don’t know why you are lying to me, even so I shall tell you, I am looking for the ‘Underworld Beast’. ”

Wait a minute why is he looking for me? And his accent, its not from this place...

“Umm, I’m just curios, but your not from this place are you?”

“No, I’m from South of Okinawa, now then I shall ask you once again, do you know where the hide out of the Underw~~aaaaa”

A lady from behind with her cart hit Izumi pretty hard.

“I~I’m really really sorry!!”

The lady bowed down many times as she apologized, her son was fooling around with. the cart and then he lost control over it,  and it rolled over.

Sora couldn’t control his laughter as he found it really funny, what had just. happened.

*hahahahaha*

wiping his tear from too much of laughter,

“I’m really sorry,  I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just~ i jus~bohahaha I’m really sorry dude.”

“hey you, stop laughing at me and help me up already”

Sora reached out his hand to Izumi and. pulled him up.

“Thanks!”

“Umm, I’m really sorry!!”

“It’s cool, anyways as I was ask~~”

*ring ring*

“Oh,  umm sorry but I need to. take this call”

“Oh ok, sure. go ahead”

*Sora picks up the call*

.......................

“Hold on, I’ll get there right away, stop crying, where are you right now?”

......................

"Ok, I'll be right there"

*hangs up the phone*

“I’m really sorry but I really need to go, its an emergency, oh by the way my name is Sora, and yours is?”

“Izumi, I’m called Izumi”

Sora and Izumi shook hands as they exchanged their names to each other, eye in contact to the other person.

“Izumi huh? I'll remember that,well until we meet again, Mr. Izumi.”

Sora walked out of the supermarket leaving all the stuff he had to buy behind. A man walked and stood right beside Izumi.

“Well how do you think he is master Izumi?”

“Well, looking at him talking to you, I kind of found him boring to be exact and also who gave you the permission to say my name as yours huh?”

“I’m sorry master!”

“Hmm, I wonder how would it feel if I could crush him too, like I did the other two....hehe”

The real Izumi, the leader of the Beast of the South licked his lips as he laughed in a sinister voice.

Sora ran like the wind and finally reached his destination, there he saw the bloody situation. His eyes burned with rage,

“Satoshi....What the hell happened here? Who did this?”

“I’m still not sure, but I think they call themselves ‘The Beast of

the South’ or something like that, also they told us where we could find

them”

“No more talking”

*glare*

“ah, yes aniki!”

“take him to the hospital and if they ask what happened tell them he got into a street fight or something, when you get there call me and tell what the doctor said”

“Yes aniki, and the location they told me was at the backstreet of the x tattoo shop at y street”

“Thanks now get going”

“Yes aniki, please be safe, they have guns”

Satoshi trotted away with his brethren as fast as he could.

Hmm, y street it’s near from here maybe if I run I’ll get faster. but then again I don’t want to exhaust all of my

strength, maybe I should take the bus, How dare. they do this to my  family, they will pay for this.

Sora reaches y street and approaches the x tattoo store and a dark

alley beside it leading to the darkness. As. he walked he could smell

all the burning of tobacco.

Shit, are they high? I. hope they are not, or else I won’t be able to beat them up.

Sora reaches the dead end of the alley, as. he turns around he finds himself surrounded.

Wait, how did they? This happened before as well with Izumi. How do they suppress their presence? That doesn’t matter right now, hmm lets see, one, two, three,.....twenty one, twenty two. Twenty two people against one, well the odds aren’t in my favor here, oh well it doesn't matter to me.

“Why are you here?”

“I came here to seek revenge, the ones who you roughed up”

“Ah, that. little doe?”

*hahahaha*

“He was so weak that we didn’t have to go all out”

“My brothers are not trained to fight, they are only trained to

kill, that is why he didn’t fight back, tell me what was your reason of

your assault against my comrade”

“Well, it was an. order from our master that we. attack anyone who belongs to the ‘Underworld Beast’ group”

“I see, and that is your reasoning for ganging up on top of one

unarmed person,huh? Is that what your master teaches you? I should say

he is a wild one and a disgrace nonetheless”

“What did you say you damn bastard?”

“Me a mongrel? hmmm, then what does that make you? A mongrel? nah, most probably less than that”

“Don’t you dare talk about master like that, you don’t even know him and what he’s been through so just shut you trap”

Hmm, well at least know how to respect their leader.

“I’m not here to fight even though that was my intention at first but

now, I’m just gonna give you a warning....Don’t touch any of my

brothers, do you get that?”

“You’re not our master, we just follow his orders also, who are you?”

“Me? I’m the leader of the Underworld Beast...why do you have any complains?”

“You are their leader....hahahaha, you are so thin and fragile not even, and there~”

*punch*

“Well, I hope you all have learnt a lesson today, never underestimate

your opponents strength and never judge a book by its cover, got that?

Now then let’s see if somebody is conscious”

Sora looked around the fallen bodies. and found a. person who still could get. up,

“Oh, you will do”

Sora picked up the man with ease by their collar.

“Tell your boss that. if he wants revenge for what I have done today

he is always welcome to direct his revenge. at me, I will be waiting at

X place, got that?”

“Y~yes s~sir”

*punch*

“Well, looks like my work here is done, I got what I wanted and. why hasn’t that idiot Satoshi called me yet?”

Sora takes out his phone.

“Oh the battery is dead, hmmm that's weird, I didn't even use it so then why is it switched off?”

“Oh, that’s simple, cause it’s broken”

Sora turned around to the voice.

“Ah, brother Yume, hehehehe”

“You and your goofy laugh, so adorable, anyways what are you doing here?”

“Well, they hurt Ren really bad so I taught them not to mess with our people”

“Hmmm, you. shouldn’t have involved yourself with this, you should have told. me after all I’m the vice captain ”

“Yume, if I’m in trouble I will always call you first, didn’t I promise you?”

“I worry about you so, please be more careful”

“Thank you, now then lets go back shall we?”

“Yes Aniki!!”

Aniki found me when I was just a kid, he was really kind and strong. I

didn’t know my name or where I came from, but after aniki found me I

had a meaning to life, a family and somebody to protect.

Sometimes I feel like aniki is giving himself too much stress in

order for us to stay safe, that is one of the reasons why I opted to

become his vice captain with another guy named Hayato, and the other

reason is simply because I want to stay close aniki.

But recently I have been having dreams that have made me stay close

to aniki more than before. A mysterious man, snatching away aniki from

me, and obviously I don't want that to happen.

I walked across the street. reaching the place where he would be (at least that what I heard)....

Once again I’m in awe by the way Aniki fights...it feels like he comes alive while fighitng with others...

“Oh the battery is dead, hmmm that's weird, I didn't even use it so then why is it switched off?”

“Oh. that’s simple, cause it’s broken”

Aniki turned around towards me,

“Ah, brother Yume, why did you take so long? hehehehe”

It’s. been a while since he called me by my name, every time he does

that. it sends shivers down my spine, I love his voice especially when

he calls me by my name, which is hard to hear nowadays. I wonder why he

doesn’t do it, also his laugh is a music to my ear....

“You and your goofy laugh, so adorable, anyways what are you doing here?”

“Well, they hurt Ren really bad so I taught them not to mess with our people”

“Hmmm, you shouldn’t have involved yourself with this, you should have told. me after all I’m the vice captain ”

“Yume, if I’m in trouble I will always call you first, didn’t I promise you?”

“I worry about you so, please be more careful”

“Thank you, now then lets go back shall we?”

“Yes Aniki!!”

I wonder if he has realized that I have feelings for Aniki, I wonder

if he thinks o f me as that boy who he found all frail and on the verge

of death, will aniki ever look at me as a man? What am i even saying,

aniki isn’t a girl that he would look at me, but I sometimes want to

hold him tightly and to him. Am I thinking too much?

“Yume?”

“Hai Aniki?”

“You've been dazing off into some stupid thoughts now, havent you?”

It’s not stupid...it’s all about you...

*embarrassed*

“I’m sorry, it was nothing, oh by. the way aniki, how was your meeting with the doctor?”

“Oh....it was good....h-he said I’m just fine”

He’s lying, there must be something, since I’ve been watching him

closely, whenever he lies he starts to stutter...but why. would he lie

to me? Is it something really serious?

“Yume”

With soft eyes on his expression Aniki called me out,

“It’s really nothing, so stop overthinking”

yeah right, I’m worried that’s all, so obviously I’ll be overthinking about it.

“Y-yes aniki”

“Good boy, what do you think the boys would like to eat tonight? I have already bought some meat”

“Hmm, meat......how about hot pot?”

“Hehehe, I don’t have that much. money yet to make that”

“Ah, sorry aniki, th-then how about you bake the meat with some lime and coriander leaf and some salt&pepper?”

“Sounds good, do. you think we have enough rice?”

“Yup, it should last us for 2 weeks or so”

“Hmm, then we will gave to buy some next week”

“Ok!! I can’t wait to eat aniki’s cooking...it’s the best”

“Oh, shush you’re making me blush”

*hehehehe* both giggling together

I wish time would stop now, if I knew I was going to loose aniki just like I did in my dream
