Kohaku decided to face Takashi again when he thought he wasn't aware of what he would do, the 'Nine Dragons' already declared Takashi Shimaou as major threat in underworld affairs, and even they can't stand for the other seven gangs to go over the board for being vigilantist. However, there's not other choice to avoid this, because he knew the man is much more deadly than those three yakuza groups in Japan. Kizuna is also a threat since she's a female yakuza boss, though what's the next thing he should do is to face him. After Andrew and Shania woke up from their coma, Kohaku was relieved but that doesn't mean he will forgive Takashi towards Julian... yet.

Kohaku was standing in the middle of the empty road in the night, wearing his collared dark gray formal shirt, black pants and knee-length boots underneath his high-collared black sleeveless coat. He messes his short messy auburn hair with long bangs over his magenta-red eyes, his spectacles shimmered in the dark as he adjusted his black fingerless gloves. Not only the Indonesian carries his black chain bullwhip on his hand, he also carries a katana-like weapon as his second weapon--just like the man he's looking for, he is part of the assassins of Secret Garden that has lived up to the name. He earned the title 'Scarlet-Eyed Hunter' due to his eyes that gleamed in red during the night, such a dramatic title he earned that makes everyone think of something strange about his traits and behavior. However, there's the rumor of the yakuza leader having the intention to recruit the young man into his organization--so the conflict between Secret Garden and the yakuza can cause a bigger casualties.

"Kayana Sahanaya Tirta, we meet again."

Takashi greeted him, clad in his usual attire--the only difference was a sword handle on his hand. Behind him are yakuza members stood, all of them are wielding an arsenal of daggers and knives. 'Son of a bitch.. that's cheating...' Kohaku muttered angrily within his thoughts, he doesn't like to be surrounded by them, and is not pleased with how this situation can go badly. Takashi walked around with the cold expression on his face, making him become tense as his fingers twitched in anticipation to hurt him. "You think you can beat me alone? You must be dreaming... because you'll meet the same fate as your partner," he spoke with arrogant tone, causing Kohaku to glare at him. "Bring it, yakuza leader."

Kizuna suddenly came across Kohaku, her men also appeared behind her which made Kohaku cornered in between of the two yakuza leaders. "Takashi, you dare to steal my opponent?" she questioned, holding a katana on her hand as well. "What the fuck is going on here? Why are you two...?" Kohaku muttered, suddenly felt like he were forgetting a detail that has been mentioned by him during the week. "I have to kill you off, it's the right opportunity to do it. Unless... I won't get your blood on my blade--or am I gonna let Kizuna stealing the kill from you?"

Takashi stated, seeing his eyes turned into glowing amber and both of his arms crossed, giving a dominant presence. "Sheesh, Takashi... you're out of the line for doing this shit," Kizuna ranted, having a displeased look on her face. "Who knows, it's the right time to make move," the latter answered and turned his gaze on him. "I'm not only targeting you as revenge for killing a few of my men, but to see what you're capable of in battle. That's more I'll get you some experience... a tough battle with you is something worth the trouble."

"First, give you an explanation on their abilities before they engage with you."

His voice shifted into calm one, earning Kohaku's glare at him. "Kohaku," Kizuna called him, making him listen to her despite not looking at her; it was evident that she is speaking as well. "Are you listening to him or you not? I can decide myself what I want to do and I don't have to listen to what they say," she replied, having no mercy with her katana. "I recommend to NOT let your guard down or you will be knocked out before you can even say 'whaaaah'," she said, almost burst into giggling from the thought. "That means: don't underestimate us..."

Kohaku felt like he was in the middle of the brink of insanity, such as an example of what these two are going to do with him. He tried to calm his ass down when these two yakuza are waiting for him to get ready with his weapons, but it seems like one was too impatient to wait any further from him. As both of them charged at him, Kohaku used his sword to prop himself up--jumping into the air as Takashi and Kizuna clashing with their blades. Kohaku landed down across them, before he saw Damien intervened their battles with his longsword from his cane--the Indonesian was relieved to see his compatriot-boss is here. "Damien!"

The assassin yelled, seeing his superior-friend has arrived in the scene to give him some assistance in fighting them. "Took you long enough, Kayana? Too bad, Marduk Kamal got injured because of these two asshats... so I have to come here by myself."

Damien asked, taking an amused turn on the situation and hearing Kizuna scoffed. Oh crap, Marduk Kamal got injured? He DID get injured when he tried to stop one of them but failed. "Damien..." she muttered, his aura sends shivers down to anyone and thus they never underestimated him, they've encountered him on close quarters and it is indeed a battle to die for. "Nightmare Spider... Damien Fernandez Christiadjie," Takashi muttered, upon meeting the man who killed his friend long time ago. "Takashi Shimaou... 'One-Eyed Dragon', the one and only," Damien stated, having a playful smile--his eyes were sparkling by a deep red-burgundy iris. "You think you can stop me?"

The scene grew intense as it was revealed that it was a ruse between the three organizations, that the Secret Garden, One-Eyed Dragon and Crimson Lotus Dragon were in collusion. "Crap baskets," Kohaku cursed--now realizing why they haven't kill him, but lure him here as bait--he was doomed when he face the odds. "Yakuza and syndicate elites allied? I'm kinda impressed, Christiadjie!"

Takashi laughed, making Kohaku grumbled. "Oh great, here we go AGAIN..." Kizuna chuckled, as she added. "This will be fun, bet all of you planning this since we first met them."

"Now, where should I start..."

Damien spoke with a sly grin, before... he glanced at Kohaku who now the leader of EXODUS--his own team under Damien, Secret Garden and Indonesian shadow government's supervision. He knew this Indonesian assassin has been a target of all underworld mafias. Because they sense his abilities and potential, and will do anything to recruit this kid into their own teams. Unfortunately for them, none has been successful because he's too stubborn, loyal or even can be a huge pain in the ass... from Damien's own point of view.

"He'll be the one."

Kohaku scoffed once he heard that and was rolling his eyes out of annoyance, seeing Damien had that confident smirk on his face as if he knew what was the plan. 'Please not that one!' Kohaku mentally complained within his mind, before the tense battle is about to began between these mafia leaders. "Alright then, we'll see who's the last person standing in this place. If you win, you can 'have' my subordinate--but remember... he belongs to me and his life belongs to me," Damien threatened with an intimidating chuckle, his ruby red eyes darkened that almost sinister. "Prepare yourself, Takashi..." Kizuna said.

Takashi listens to his enemy, a bold woman like Kizuna truly attractive for him because it doesn't hurt to gaze at the woman's beauty and alluring nature. Meanwhile... Kohaku gritted his teeth, trying to hide his frustration on the latter's face that time. "Kayana, who will you be fighting against?" Damien asked, only for Kohaku to turn his face to him with such angry look. "I fought you once, so you're excluded from my list," he whispered, before he glanced at the two. 'Crap baskets, I should have learned about their abilities... or I will die just to find out,' Kohaku thought to himself, thinking of a strategy of their ability or weakness. 'I can't kill Kizuna, like what's the point? The guys said he's the tough enemy and can be worse...'

While Kohaku and Damien is having a talk, it was evident that the bosses having a tension and hostility towards each other--and the male yakuza leader glared at Damien's eyes when their gazes were locked in between each other. Kizuna scoffed, knowing that her and her ally were eyeing him down--knowing that he isn't going down easy and has lethal abilities. In either case, only one mafia boss can't move forward until they take down two elite organizations. "Obviously, I will kill Takashi. As for Kizuna, it's... not my concern."

Damien said, before Takashi began to charge at him with his katana, followed by Damien attacking his other blade--chose an offensive movement, while Kizuna was standing there and watching them with her gun and katana on her hand. "Well then, Kayana..." she muttered, as Kohaku quickly retaliated her attack with his sword and retaliating her katana with his blade. "Takashi-dono!" Kohaku can hear her men shouting, who are standing with their cars around them. The men of Secret Garden also standing with their cars, somewhat the men of the respective organizations were yelling for the battle.

"Ane-san! We're coming for you!"

Takashi dodges Damien's attacks, and manage to draw blood from his torso. However, Damien remains undeterred and didn't show any hint of discomfort, as he swung his handgun and struck his enemy's blade. Kizuna swung her katana against Kohaku, causing him to retaliate her attacks before Damien leaped back--avoiding Takashi's blade when the latter lunging towards him. Kohaku took a dive down and managed to slash her arm, even though Kizuna swings her katana on his body near his neck. Kohaku cursed as he blocked her attack again, he refused to look at what's behind her sunglasses--it's creepy enough for her to have that smile on her visage. "You sure you want to keep challenging me? Now, let's have some 'fun'..." she said, blocking his strike.

Damien gripped his handle as he narrowed his eyes, he couldn't believe he was almost losing... to a mere yakuza leader. 'He's unbeatable...' he thought to himself, staggering his movements due to fatigue and the lost of his blood. "Hey, Damien..." Kohaku panted, as he almost got beaten by Kizuna's strike and barely defended her movements. Damien exhaled the air out from his mouth, the injuries on his were slowly recovering while he averted his eyes at him. "I know... we were dealing with the worst, seems like we got cornered huh?" his leader spoke, spitting the blood from his mouth.

Kohaku staggered a bit, wiping the blood from his cheek. "You know... yakuza always take off their clothes during their battle, to show off their tattoo as their identity or something," he suddenly blabbered nonsense, distracting his ally's eyes from Takashi to stare at him. Damien blinked, before he sighed. "You want me to take off my clothes? That's really makes me laugh..." he said with such a calm tone. "That's not what I have in mind, now hold on a second there!" Kohaku quickly defended himself, before he added. "Listen, I have a plan... so we can distract the other..."

Damien listens to him who was whispering the next plan of attacking these two men, but still.. he tried not to burst out laughing from the part of his sudden mutterings. "Alright, be it..." he answered, before Damien turned to Takashi as he smirked. "I have a challenge, you're a yakuza boss right? Show how serious you are with the tattoos on your body," he spoke, instantly removing his three piece suit as well revealing his upper body with matching black shirt, black trousers and the shoes. Damien take off his sunglasses, revealing his ruby red eyes and he began to take off his shirt--revealing his lean and muscular body with a symbol of copper pheasant birds on his back, torso and biceps.

Takashi lifted his eyebrows, seeing the Indonesian taking off his upper clothings so he had to do the same. He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his lean muscular body with his arms full of tattoos, the symbol is the one-eyed dragon symbolizing his position and his red spider lily tattoos--extending from his chest, shoulders to biceps. His arms are in contrast with the white color on his flesh, the black streaks of tattoos are slightly curved in a circle but it remained clear and identifiable.

Kizuna was petrified, completely distracted by his magnificent body and the dragon tattoo--and didn't even realize that Kohaku barged against her using his chain whip as weapon, pinning her down to the ground and point his katana against her neck. That time, Kohaku was reminded of her strength and dominance; he was indeed crushed by a deadly woman who is a leader and cunning tactician--no, she's more than that. She has a beautiful face, strong willed and the reason he is going insane because these underworld mobs are targeting him.

"No weapons."

Damien demanded, making Takashi does what he says. They threw away the weapons and they fought hand-to-hand as Takashi kicked Damien who was almost in pain but refuses to show his pain. Takashi did a fast blow, with his flexible moves when he lunged at Damien and his swift blow countered with his agility on his torso. Damien smirked, before his ruby red eyes suddenly flared at him and punched his covered eye that made Takashi instantly having a terrible flashback. His body reeled back due to the pain and clutched his own right eye, before Damien managed to get him on the gut. He grabbed Takashi's jacket, making the latter shocked and quickly blocked his punches before he got one uppercut against his chin, pushed him hard.

Kizuna was unable to focus, before Kohaku taunted her. "You're a yakuza too, right? I know you're not taking off your dress because your tattoo is already on your back... and you have to take off your white coat," he demanded, making Kizuna became silent for a moment. Kohaku smiled faintly, when he was surprised that her henchmen followed her commands. The older woman reluctantly take off her white coat, letting her men captured her coat--leaving her in her black dress with straps on. Her tattoo is dragon with crimson lotus on her left upper arm, white orchids on her shoulders to her upper arms. Her long black hime-hair remained the same, even her crimson red eyes shimmered under her sunglasses. "You're not taking your sunglasses off?"

"No, why should I."

"You're looking so fucking weird by just having a sunglasses on your face, that's all."

Kizuna growled, before she clashed against him and Kohaku evaded every last of her punches, even the kicks. "I got you!" he yelled, using the tip of his blade and swung upwards before her eyes--tossing up her sunglasses off from her eyes; revealing the horrifying color of her crimson red eyes with sharp black pupils--no wonder she was known as Demon Boss. Kizuna stood there with shocked eyes, causing Takashi and Damien's men cowered in fear, except her own men who already seen them without fear.

Takashi was wide-eyed to see her eye color in person, while Damien also shocked--causing a huge silence that Kohaku got an immediate regret for that... but it was the only way to stop them. "Y-You..." she muttered as she dropped her weapons, having a flashback of being feared by the other gang members. Kohaku dropped his weapons as well, petrified and shocked to see how terrifying and ruthless her eyes were. 'Well shit...' he thought to himself, that he doesn't want to have that image in his head. "I'm going to kill you for this!"

"Kizuna!"

Kohaku yelled, he was about to retaliate her attack as she was going to choke him--but interrupted by Takashi who ended up got pinned on the ground instead by Kizuna. "Kizuna, snap out of it!" Takashi yelled, only for her to slap her right hand on his right face--as the slap echoed at the dead of night. "You know damn well... for two years after becoming a leader, to be feared and sometimes get bad reactions from all of the underworld businesses..." Kizuna suddenly spoke, as her lips curved into a smile... but it was somehow fake. "All of you... are just the same..."

Damien glanced at his subordinate, while Kohaku frowned as he started to feel bad... but he didn't expect Takashi 'barricade' him. "Kayana, are you okay?" he asked, Kohaku nodded as he coughed a little blood. "I'm okay... shit... that's the only way so I can stop them... I mean, I don't know what else to do so I'm kinda desperate at the situation..." he muttered. Kizuna stood there silently, only to stare at Takashi with those deep red eyes of hers.

"It's a tie."

Kizuna declared, gaining a raised eyebrow from Damien's eyes. "Hmm? So, the Crimson Lotus Dragon and One-Eyed Dragon had enough?"

"Yes, that's just for today."

She replied, her men came towards her and gave her white coat to conceal her upper body again and she was putting the sunglasses on. Kohaku and Damien were staring at each other for a moment, before Damien glanced at the 'still alive' yakuza leaders, seeing Takashi is picking up his shirt to cover his top and fixing his hair. Damien put on his suits as well, looking at Kohaku as he stand up on his own. "Kizuna, I'm sorry for my..."

Kohaku tried to apologize, but she shake her head a little. "It's fine... it's done," she said, letting out a heavy sigh when she turn around and walking away from them. "Kizuna," Takashi called her, only for her to glare at him. They were stuck into an eternal battle, and they have the reputation of 'being vicious' in the criminal world. Kohaku doesn't realize, she has her own thoughts about these... 'intimidating eyes' of hers. Their reactions pisses her off, but it's too late. "What?" she replied.

"... please don't hurt yourself."

Damien was confused, what's the relationship between these two again? He tried to think of something, but... he guessed his curiosity will be answered very soon. Kohaku bit his lower lips, before his superior patted his shoulder. "Come on, let's get ourselves treated. Your injuries might be getting worse if we keep dawdling here," he advised, as Kohaku lets out a relieved sigh of fatigue. "O-Oh yeah, okay then..." the Indonesian answered, the other sighed as he get into his limousine with him. "Are they part of the Nine Dragons of Indonesia? Even though they're both Japanese?"

Kohaku asked, while the men tended their wounds with their aid kits. "Supposedly, because the Japanese shadow government said that they were too much to be the 'pillars' of yakuza and quite well-known internationally... especially in Indonesia. I have no fucking idea why are they the same," the boss explained, Kohaku glanced at him. "Who knows, sir," Kohaku muttered, looking out of the window; watching the buildings at the distance. 'I hope tomorrow will be a brighter day...'

Kizuna was sitting inside the car, she still not in the best mood after leaving the scene--bored and weary, it's like she was expecting a response that may be a compliment or not--having to know her eyes are somewhat making them petrified. These implanted eyes from childhood are the ones that replaced her eyeless sight because of what her father did when she was young, he even killed her mother and made her angry that she had to live with these demonic eyes. Knowing that she needs to let go of her hate, guilt, and regrets--even being feared at such a young age will add the psychological burden on her mind, Takashi... will always be an anchor to her even there's times he always taunting her for another battle.

And will never forget them.

So now, Takashi also turned silent when the limousine has reached its destination, before the both of them walked out and get inside the tower. Some of their men are following them, as they waited the two were entering the lift. "Why are you following me?" she asked him, not looking at him. Her back was facing the latter with only inches away, she was somehow frustrated that her plans failed but that should be the case. "I don't have anything more to do, so I'm heading back to my room now. There's some stuff I have to do and get ready for the next," Takashi answered, Kizuna closed her eyes and she felt like her heart had been squeezed by an iron grip.

The leader of Crimson Lotus Dragon looked down, feeling the anxiety churning within her--why's this leader of One-Eyed Dragon; her own enemy keep looking at her? Takashi won't say anything to her unless he want her to talk about her interest on him, and the most awkward part is he told her; he doesn't like weak people. Now, both were standing in front of their door and about to turn the doorknobs to their rooms when suddenly... Kizuna just felt her hand was grabbed from him.

"Your eyes answers the reason why the underworld businesses were scared of you... even the members of your own organization didn't notice until that fateful day when you announced your ascension, that's why the yakuza heads targeted you when you slaughtered 45 of their members in one-hour solo. That's only you that able to lead your entire organization when the other heads saw your capabilities..."

Kizuna widened her eyes, of course how did he know? She wasn't even that opened to him when he chose to look back at her and confront her when the bosses were about to fight in public. That's why she feels uneasy, because when she looks at people with those eyes--the latter will sometimes show fear and resentment against her. He even has no problem fighting her--it makes her confused, like he had no problem when her eyes are exposed to the public.

"Why aren't you scared of me... Takashi?"

She finally opened her mouth, breaking the silence--managing to get the hold of herself so she can face him and staring at his mismatched eye. The one-eyed man who's known for his sadistic tendencies and is rather mysterious than showing his true colors in general... she was unable to read his eye that is filled with complicated mystery. It won't stop until she finally want to listen about his own feelings, what is there to think about him? Those eyes are probably hurt... he always make himself appear to be heartless, stern and stoic... and his real personality will be for the ones that he trusts.

"... you don't have the guts to scare me."

Takashi answered, unafraid of her that makes the woman very confused and shocked, he's not afraid of her!? Her crimson red eyes even send shivers on anyone--from criminals to political leaders--even the other bosses in Indonesia had no guts to confront her. But he's not the first... because she'd already seen a similar aura from this leader like him. His golden eye of his bangs of his bluish-black short messy hair narrowed as he adjusted his black eyepatch, yet he wore a smug on his face. "Tell Damien and Kohaku that I'm going to change," he said, before leaving her dumbfounded. Kizuna touched her face, hiding her eyes to make sure he didn't see what's on her face and why he just didn't scare of them like he would before. "B-But why... he's not freaking out?!" she whimpered, before she went inside her room to get cleaned up for tonight.

The next morning...

"What the..."

Kohaku was shocked upon Damien's explanation about their pasts, making him getting mixed feelings of them. "Kizuna has a rough childhood like Takashi, her father took both of her eyes--she used to have dark brown eyes before she got implanted with the new one... that looks so inhumane to many," he explained, while Kohaku stared at the view of his mansion. "As for Takashi, he lost one eye because of his father too. He had to wear black eyepatch for the rest of his life, it has been painful for him ever since," Damien added, filling Kohaku's ears. "I met their servants in their former residences before--they told me about them respectively, it was... so tragic and gruesome that they had to lost their mothers because of their father."

Damien muttered as Kohaku just sat there, unmoving and focused on his story. "Not only they're the powerful people in Japan, but they are worthy enemies in the underworld for their respective yakuza organizations. They both hate weaklings, because of their rough experiences in life... I guess," he added, as he rested his back against the chair in his office. "What the fuck, so both Takashi and Kizuna are..."

"Bullied when they were kids? Of course they'll have at least ten percent more bitter because of the tragedy, especially them having a tragic past. As for Kizuna, she doesn't like someone discovering her eyes under her shades--because it might anger her that she will attack whoever is revealing them. The reason behind why her eyes are red is because the eyes that her father has left to her is that of the 'demon's eyes', despite being transplants."

"And... Takashi?"

"Takashi... he's quite tough since he's too cruel and unforgiving. No matter the situation that someone else hurts him physically... he won't show any hint of pain and only give the latter a death glare and a smirk. He's a gentleman, just like Kizuna who behaves like a lady... they also like bold people. Also, regarding their crimes--I'm not justifying shit of their actions. No matter how bad their backgrounds are, in my eyes--they're a threat to my Secret Garden. They're still criminals... both had their sins and regret. I want them dead... before their existence can't interfere with my plans."

Few hours later...

Kohaku still scared on meeting these two, seriously how the fuck he won't be afraid of them--is not a question that should be answering, the yakuza is the scariest enemies that had a battle of wits and intellect as well as their skills in martial arts. He got injured by Takashi when he got faced by him, but Kizuna is 'forgiving' enough to him and his comrades. But then he realized, she was known as 'Demon Boss' or that nickname--Boss Lady. If Takashi is One Eyed Dragon, who rules the empire of Yakuza in Japan... his other nickname should be 'Golden-Eyed Dragon'.

It was at sunny morning in Kuta, Kohaku was doing odd-jobs like usual--handling problematic expatriates that harmed innocent citizens and Indonesian cultures that are nothing related to them, this is nothing new for Kohaku though. This routine often happens whenever an expatriate goes beyond trouble on the beach, especially teenagers being stupid without parents and having a dangerous attitude like no tomorrow. Kohaku, as a law-abiding Indonesian citizen, is willing to do anything it takes to keep them away from harming the others.

Kohaku kicked the expatriate who slept in the pigpen, before he snapped. "Go back to your country, asshole!" the latter yelled out of rage to stop them from harassing the locals by insulting their culture, the man fled in fear. It felt good that he can finally stick up to those cocky western tourists, there are so many racist expatriates--but it all related to different ages. Kohaku stretched his arms as the owner of the pigpen thanked him, giving him the money that made Kohaku felt a slight relief to help the pigpen owner's business.

There's one job that his father has never forgotten, that is having patience. Kohaku has listened his father's advice as a young kid, to focus and stayed as long as needed. Then, Kohaku encountered the two foreign couple were bare naked in the temple--before he grabbed a huge bucket filled with dirty water and splashed both of them by ruining their mood. "Put your clothes back on, shitheads," he scolded, intimidating them by glaring at them with piercing look on his magenta-red orbs. Both of them were flushed in embarrassment, grabbing their clothes that had been left on the ground and running in panic. The look on Kohaku's face was stern, not satisfied of what they had done to the holy statue and he had to help the Balinese locals to clean them.

Another one, Kohaku approached the French girl who wear a kebaya and acted as a tour guide (when it's SUPPOSED to be a local tour guide) to teach the foreigners. "Take them off, you're not worthy to respect anyone's culture," he snapped, causing the girl whimpered in horror and ran, even the tattooed female traveler--that woman covered in tattoo--is not amused about the so-called 'guide', making her leave out of spite and taking some pictures instead. "Hey! I have my own right!"

The female expatriate snapped at Kohaku, who told her to stop because she keep bumping against the other tourists without apologizing and yelled the fuck out of them (for getting in her 'way'). He narrowed his eyes, before he snatched her bag and grab her by her hair--making her hissed and yelped. "Get out of here, NOW!" he snapped before throwing her in the puddle of mud and water, Kohaku looked down at her before leaving the scene.

Even the police and the locals applauded Kohaku's chivalry to fix the problem before things escalated out of control, the tourists may cause chaos and have no respect to everyone's right nor to the Balinese themselves. "Good job, sir," the police stated that Kohaku did a great job for fixing the problem before it became too much, he was just doing an odd job to keep the city safe from them. "You really have the guts to humiliate those problematic tourists, Kayana Sahanaya Tirta."

Kizuna spoke, making him shivered when he heard her voice across her and he stopped to look at her. "O-Oh, Kizuna... right?" he greeted her awkwardly, as the latter chuckled at him. "You were really mean at one of the tourists... but that's okay, Takashi already saw you doing it," she informed, the latter sweat dropped and slowly began to grow mortified that the man didn't kill him. Kohaku couldn't imagine that man has seen it with his own eyes, was he came to follow him or just stalking him and not revealing his position at all?

"Fuck, don't tell him please."

The only thing that crossed his mind is his growing fear of Takashi, that guy really have eyes everywhere he goes and his shadow lurks the presence of a ruthless demon. But when Kizuna sensed a slight tremor, before his eyes widen--as the people started to run away in fear while all of them avoiding what's coming towards them. Kohaku stepped back with his feet behind him, knowing the female yakuza boss turned around with her crimson eyes narrowed as well and when they faced the scene. "It's time to escape, leave now," she ordered. Kohaku run for his life when it was indeed what was to be feared, making him scream before he jumped to the path that leads to Tanah Lot Temple.

Byakuya was slurping his lemon tea while sitting with his younger sister, Kyouka was enjoying her drinks until they saw Kohaku running away and hid behind the statue--his eyes scanned if those two yakuza leaders have come with those dogs again.

He saw them as they walked towards the front entrance, looking back at Kohaku--he was spotted by Byakuya and Kyouka that made him panicked. "Kohaku--" he shushed at both of them, gesturing them to come here to avoid making him getting their attention if Takashi and Kizuna find out, they didn't know about Takashi arrived yet. "What happened? Those two are here again?" he asked.

"We need to leave, they're following us," Kohaku replied, making Byakuya confused and Kyouka looked at her older brother. "Nii-sama, should we...?" she asked Byakuya, he sighed as he folded his arms. "Fine, we'll come with you--just to see the place," he answered as he grab his hand with Kyouka and the three ran into the view spot of the temple, they finally off from their sight. Kohaku saw a German Shepherd puppy whined while approaching him, he take out his dog snacks and fed the German Shepherd puppy with it. "You're hungry, little guy? Take it as an apology," he added, ruffling the German Shepherd puppy with love.

"This guy is so cute," Kyouka cooed as she kneel down to pet its head, Byakuya was relieved that his asthma didn't relapse even Kyouka's asthma didn't kick up--he watched the puppy barked in happiness. But, that made some people startled at the sudden noise. Kohaku, Kyouka and Byakuya then stand still as three of them heard the call that came from nearby. They turned around to see the German Shepherd puppy ran towards someone, the bluish-black haired yakuza boss.

Kohaku gulped, feeling the blood flowed back to their heads when all of their blood drained out and leaving their face paled, why must they meet him once again on the scene where he had to do his odd job?

"WHAT THE FUCK--?! WHY YOU ASSHOLE!"

Takashi frowned, as he ordered the dog to stay by his command. "Don't yell at him, he did that because the puppy was hungry and it didn't affect anything," the one-eyed yakuza retorted back, before he folded his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'm not in the mood for a battle--I just want to enjoy my vacation in Bali," he said, being a gentleman while Kizuna appeared behind them. "I also want to enjoy my vacation with my men, but you and your men are not."

'So that's how you're playing this, huh? Just for mocking my own vacation?'

"In case if you ever go past the line, the 'Chrysanthemum of Blades' cannot handle against the Golden-Eyed Dragon, are you aware?"

Kohaku gestured his puppy to come to them instead--by using a dog snacks as a bait, so the latter complied as the puppy ran to Kyouka's arms and leaving both of them 'arguing'. "Phew... that's a relief," he sighed, watching Byakuya's petting the German Shepherd puppy's head and Kyouka is overjoyed. Kohaku will be worrying about them as his first priority if he found Kyouka and Byakuya, in the event he encounters problems.

"(HEY! WHERE'S THE PUPPY)?!"

The three of them heard a familiar voice that is Japanese, soon four of them realized whose voice it. "Run," he whispered, the trio left the place with the German Shepherd puppy as the two yakuza bosses started to get impatient and annoyed. "(What the fuck? Where is the puppy?)" Takashi cursed in Japanese, glaring with his golden eye on the other tourists as Kizuna sighed at him--speaking in Japanese as well to her enemy. "(You know... let's leave them alone for now)."
