~~~Arc 2 - Chapitre 27 - Connections~~~
"I can't believe I'm doing this."
Valentine raised an eyebrow as he glanced toward the white-haired man sitting across the room, catching as the younger man who stood by his side sighed.
"I believe we have discussed this matter quite sometimes ago, Kaichou."
The elderly waved his hand lazily.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." He leaned back on his chair. "It's just, weird. To have my enemies standing before me. As a companion."
"Indeed." This time, the man with a fierce face who stood on Valentine's right who spoke up. "Especially when only a few days ago that I was refusing an offer from the enemy. 'Our' enemy."
"Father." The young woman on his right spoke up. "I thought we are not to speak about it ever again ? We have refused, haven't we ? And accepted this offer."
"It is best for us to speak about the main problem now, don't you agree ?"
Valentine then turned his face toward the smiling man in the middle, his face hardened at the expression the seemingly older man is making.
"I concur." He agreed nonetheless, before finding the people around him do the same.
"I have my people ready at the moment. When should we fight ?" The man who seemed to be in his late thirties spoke up from his corner.
"By tonight. Right when the clock strike twelve."
All eyes immediately turned at Valentine. Some in shock, and some in awe. But all in all, he was glad that the other leaders finally said 'Yes'.
***
"We should be moving soon." Yuuki spoke to his communicator secretly.
"I have received the order too. Guess we all will be going at the same time." Another person spoke on the line.
For a moment, Yuuki could hear shuffling sounds coming from his communicator, but then smiled when another man spoke.
"The meeting has just ended. As Kitayama just said, we'll be going at once."
"Glad to hear from you Uchiyama-kun. I believe Kiriko-san is feeling the same." Yuuki grinned when a groan and a muffled cough are heard.
"I am most certainly not, Yuuki-kun." A feminine voice coming through from the line.
"That's not the point now, isn't that ?" A strict deep voice spoke with a warning tone in his words. "Though it was quite an interesting fact anyway." He added with a teasing voice, causing Kiriko to cough again.
"Alright. Stop right there, Fujigaya." Another new voice of a woman coming up from the line. "Anyway, has anyone heard from Inoo ? I didn't see his org in the meeting."
"That would be because his organization was not included in the rescue team, dearest Angela." A playful voice suddenly spoke.
"Eh ? What do you mean ?" But it was Kitayama who respond first.
"Simple." The new voice said lightly. "It means his organization is a part of the enemy team."
"Eh ?!" A collective surprised voices could be heard roaring through the communicator.
"Relax." The new man sighed. "Kei-kun is still on our side. Let's just say that he works as 'the spy'."
Almost as quickly as how to they first responded to the news, they muttered words of understanding to each other.
"Well, it's about time I think ?" Uchiyama said, and answered by agreement from the rest of the team. But before they are dismissed completely, Yuuki voiced out his question which immediately resulted in an awkward silence in which his question was left unanswered.
"What will happen to Kei-chan once the mission is over ? I mean, as soon as we make our moves, it would be clear for them that Kei-chan is a traitor, right ?"
***
"Stop pacing around before I made you."
Ryosuke rolled his eyes but stopped his pacing nonetheless as he plopped down on the nearest chair.
"Have you heard anything ?"
He caught the woman glanced at him apathetically, before shrugging and went on with whatever she was doing with her laptop.
"They just left for less than half an hour ago Zero-kun. I believe they barely reached the meeting point yet." Came a voice from his back and he just sighed, knowing that it was right.
"Why are you here anyway ? Shouldn't you be coming with the rest of the gank ?"
Ryosuke caught the figure shrugging before he sat himself down on the seat beside him.
"I'm literally a newbie. Maybe the big Boss wanted me to learn from the baseline from my, well, apparently first mission." The man grinned, stretching the imperfect skin of his face.
The youngest of all three just rolled his eyes before focusing his eyes back into the screen above them.
"I need some fresh air." He mumbled incoherently before raising from his seat and trudged his way to the doorway, leaving the other two occupants by themselves.
"I knew he's going to say that." The only woman said with a sigh. "Go and watch over him, Joker. Who knows what stupid act he might be pulling."
"Will you be fine on your own Faith-san ?" Joker asked the woman, all the while already marching toward the exit.
"Yeah, yeah. Beside, Thorn, my third-seater will be coming in a few. I'll be fine." She answered nonchalantly, watching as the younger man quickly rushed out of the room as soon as she said that.
"He really reminded me of someone. I wonder who..." She muttered under her breath, fingers never stop moving on top of the keyboard panel.
***
"What a troublesome fellow you have there, Rai-kun." Yuuki sighed as he walked faster to catch up the younger boy a few metres ahead of him. And just one second later, he found himself walking side-by-side with the younger boy.
"What do you thing you are doing ?" Ryosuke glanced at him while raising an eyebrow.
"Accompanying you." Yuuki answered lightly. "I might be able to learn something new by doing so."
Yet another sigh came from the younger and shorter boy as he halted on his steps.
"Tell me, Joker." He started. "You stayed not because of your so-called inexperienced-self, am I wrong ?"
"What are you saying ?" Yuuki raised his eyebrows, mind contemplating of what the boy might be thinking.
"It was all too clear that you might be more experienced in this business than some of us. I think it was pretty safe to say that you're even more experienced than me myself." Ryosuke turned at him, his face hard. "You're here because of valentine, right ? He told you to stay and watch over me while the mission is being done."
"What made you think so ?" Yuuki tilted his head to the side, a curious expression on his face.
Ryosuke shrugged. "For what I observed, you seemed to be closer with Valentine than what you showed. And you're just, how should I say it, too clingy, to me for a first-timer."
Yuuki chuckled as he walked closer toward the younger boy. "Almost right, Zero-kun."
"Ha ?"
"It was not Valentine who told me to watch over you. I told him I will." He said with a shrug as he put an arm around the boy's shoulders. An act which seemed to irritate him.
"And that was because- ?"
"Because someone else asked me to." He grinned.
"Who ?" Ryosuke asked skeptically, but then a second later, he looked alarmed as his face hardened. "Don't tell me that you're my parents' men or something."
Another chuckle erupted from Yuuki's lips as he ruffled the boy's head. "Naive, aren't you ?" He then pulled away and walked a little farther. "I don't even know who your parents are. Well, yeah, of course I knew that they're some world-class businessmen, but no more than that."
Ryosuke squinted his eyes, as if trying to scan the older boy carefully, and at the same time, sending him an unsaid question.
Yuuki laughed at the face Ryosuke was making. "It was pretty obvious, you see." He began, all the while trying to stop his laughters. "While you tried to keep your identity from the people of the underworlds, you can't stop those people of the media to show your face almost everywhere."
"Media ?" Ryosuke frowned.
"Yeah. Media." Yuuki nodded. "Well, despite your family's powers to keep your privacy to yorself, there will always be some people who will pay a lot just to get a glimpse of your face. Let's just call them, paparazzi."
"I'm no celebrity." Ryosuke dead-panned.
"You're still one famous guy nevertheless." The older boy commented with a laugh.
"Okay, we're getting out of the topic here." Ryosuke shook his head as he sighed. "The point is, who told you to watch over me ?"
"Oh, there's someone." Yuuki smiled widely, stretching his imperfect skin more in the process.
"I know. What I don't know is who this someone is."
The older boy just shrugged. "Let's just call this someone Rai. I know nothing beyond that." He grinned as he walked forward. "Happy ?"
"Do you really asking me ?" He raised his eyebrows, just in time when the phone in his pocket start vibrating.
Frowning, he picked the small device from inside his pocket only to frown more at seeing the unknown caller ID flashed on the display.
"Who's calling ? Your Vice ?" Yuuki asked as he approached the smaller boy.
"No. It's my personal phone. No one from the underworlds would be calling here." Ryosuke spoke quietly, still contemplating of whether he should pick up the phone or not.
"Perhaps, your parents then ?"
Ryosuke shook his head. "They will call to my private line, and most certainly not hiding their numbers like this."
"Just how many phones do you have actually ?" Yuuki stared at him blankly.
"Why should I remember ?" Ryosuke shrugged. "Beside, it's not the point here." He sighed before pushing the green button and placed the device on his ear.
"Hello ?"
"Ryosuke !"
At the familiar voice coming through, Ryosuke widened his eyes in surprise.
"Yuya ?"
