Akiko was playing with Akio in her grandfather’s office he was enjoying all the new toys he had received for Christmas. The ryokan was busy during the holiday a lot of tourist some from other parts of Japan and quite a few foreigners. Twenty-two of the twenty-five rooms were occupied and it was quite festive in the house. Many stayed for the New Year’s festivities and slowly guests were leaving as the holiday dwindled down. It was late in the afternoon and many guests were retired to their rooms if not out on the town grabbing a bite to eat and there wasn’t much for Akiko to do and Akio was busy attempting to make his Legos into something, Akiko was not sure what the five year old was trying to accomplish. Her phone laid on the tatami mats besides her and she saw the front light up. Picking up her phone Akiko flipped it open and read the text message from Nene. She was calling a meeting and she had an hour to get there. Kissing Akio good bye on the forehead and smiling as he attempted to wipe it off Akiko went upstairs to her room. She slide her closet door open and looked at the long white coat that hung alone on the rack. It was time for her to get dressed.
Shedding her normal clothes Akiko pulled her white pants on and began the tedious task of wrapping her chest. Akiko finally took the long white trench coat off of the hanger and slipped it on her shoulders. Her grandfather wouldn’t miss her so she didn’t say a work as she slipped out of her room from the window and climbed the small tree down to the ground. On the side of the ryokan her mother’s old blue bike sat leaning against the wall. Her mother’s horrible accident had all but destroyed the thing but slowly and surely Akiko was earning the money to restore it to its former glory. It would be her dream to one day ride the bike through the streets of Tokyo just like her mother. As tradition Akiko touched her hand to the bike for good luck before she walked around the cement wall the separated the ryokan from the street and made her way to the train station and her sisters meeting spot.

The meeting was over the typical things, thugs in the Red Tails territory and Nene was not happy. Especially since the thugs were a bunch of males a group of gorilla like high school boys that wondered the streets in their black school uniforms with their punch perm hairstyles and cigarette hanging on their lips. As a female gang they were physically weaker than the males but they made up for it with their skills each girl brought something to the table. Nene with her leadership and strategy allowing them to pick off members until the gang of thugs were no more, Chiaki with her customized air guns that dealt quite a bit of damage, and Kaoru was infamous with her lead pipe. Yuka could physically take on the guys in a fist fight and was unstoppable when she teamed up with Reiko, it was impossible to keep track the number of guys the two girls KO’s with their fists alone, and then there was Akiko with her wooden sword her speed and skills were undefeatable on the battlefield.
It would be awhile before their group took one this group of thugs it took a lot of preparation and planning and as Nene dismissed the group she suggested the girls take this time to investigate this group on their own. To get familiar with and understand what they would be up against. Akiko combed the streets and spotted a few she watched the bullies’ trash public property, harass innocent standbys and grab a poor girls butt as she passed by. Akiko walked away gleam in her eye, these monsters had to be taken care of. She strolled the streets for a bit trying to clear up her frustration, she wasn’t about to bring it back to the ryokan with her family there.
