With traditional outfits that looks real rich, nice wrist watches, long swords at their backs and great haircuts.

Two dashing men are standing in a hotel's waiting room with zero patience for a wealthy family of three. It seems they are business partners.

Lavender. A tall 6 foot guy with short green hair and green eyes is able to capture attention wherever he is. A Porsche parked outside has the same green Colour. Probably his?

Keith a boy with a big brain, immense talent, and eyes for good things is beside him.

Keith: This mission is getting complicated and long.

I expected it to be a one night job but this is the third day.

Lavender: I know. lighting the cigarette on his mouth he hummed this.

Keith: huh?

Lavender: with his deep cold voice said. Yeah, okay. We will soon move. I forgot you are an escort.

Keith: Don't you treat me like one, I am not a kid.

Lavender: you should have never come near a hotel in the first place.

Keith: what? That's ridiculous!

Lavender: how old are you again?

Keith: what? You don't know my age? After two years together. With a surprised look on his face, Keith asked lavender.

Lavender: well, it is not like it matters let's move on. Moving away from Keith he noticed Keith still had that shocked look on his face. Are you kidding me because I don't focus on things like that? Okay, you are 16, 18 or 156, maybe?

Keith: in a sober voice. How can I be too young if I am 18, and how can I be 156 and still be alive and this young.

Lavender: Don't know. Maybe you are an immortal. I didn't come here to count your age. Get over it. It is not like it matters as I said before. Now let's go.

Keith: pissed. Begin yelling. You idiotic, shameless man. You don't know or care about me, I have been your escort for two years. How can I ever trust you when I don't even know if you will ever save me when am in danger. I am going on dangerous missions with you and risking my life, and you are telling me you don't know my age. Whisper to lavender gently. I will tell everyone you kidnapped me, you are waiting for my parents to pay you the money you asked for and you brought me in front of a hotel.

Keith was about to scream when lavender covered his mouth. In a dramatic turn of event, Keith hit a glass sitting on the window behind them causing blood to burst out from his right hand, the loud sound of the broken glass caught the attention of the people nearby and everyone turned on lavender for holding a little boy in his hand while covering his mouth.

Lavender pissed by this whispered back to Keith: I will tell them you have a body count higher than that of many of this country's soldiers. Behave yourself, we need to focus and stop your overreaction, drama king, got it?

This however only becomes worse as Keith started crying, and this crowd just got even more pissed at lavender.

They pointed out the ridiculously long swords at his back, covering their kids' faces while gasping, they questioned the hotel for allowing such people in.

The hotel secretary replied to the crowd by saying; "they said they were waiting for their business partners". Plus, this is the culture of the great Kyoto clans to keep their tradition alive, these are lovely outfits. Don't worry, you are safe.

Mr. Lavender is a chef at the big river restaurant, he is pretty well known and generous. Those are his signature knives.

A man in the crowd replied: knives? No, those are swords. Plus working for that restaurant sounds pretty shady. Even their chefs can't be trusted.

Lavender: can't be trusted? I can demonstrate nice skills if you want.

The man in the crowd: no please don't.

Please do. A woman said and many others supported the statement. Waving her hair in a flirty way and blushing while staring at lavender happily.

Most of the women in the crowd that were pissed at him were only covering their excitement in seeing a tall, sexy, traditional man from one of the great clans who is also a chef for a big restaurant whose owners control cities especially Shinjuku. The river is infamous for its owners, chefs, clients and even its business.

Lavender: okay. Move back. Lavender drew his swords and grabbed a melon supposedly costly from a woman who said it was a gift, he crossed his swords, threw the melon up before slashing them in a fancy way. The six rectangle shaped pieces of the slashed melon were given to six lucky women. Lavender hit the pieces with his swords and directed them to the women's direction. After the demonstration, he received an overwhelming applause from the crowd.

Smirking he looked at a pissed Keith who has a death stare on his face directed at lavender.

Keith: it is time.

Lavender: okay.

Keith: must he say that?

The people around were settling down when lavender and the hotel secretary that defended him, Laura, exchanged winks.

Two guys with security outfits and guns came down from the elevator to the waiting room to take keys for a reservation in the hotel, the hotel secretaries were busy selecting and working because this was an important business when the guards got chastised by the crowds for dressing that way and bringing guns to a place like this. Left to deal with this, the secretaries were getting tired.

Keith and lavender made their way to the elevator immediately, after the duo closed the door of the elevator. Laura brought out the keys the guards requested and tried to calm the crowd alongside the other secretaries.

Those are swords or knives? Is Lavender being so hot able to trick the hotel secretary into defending him? Find out more about it. Thanks for reading ☺️☺️. Love you 🥳🥳🤪🤪.

After the mess, lavender and keith opt to move. The walls had blood all over it, there were countless bodies on the floor and they were soaked in blood both on their faces and bodies. Lavender and Keith had blood all over them too, especially Keith. They made their way to the door and lavender wonder about Laura.

Opening the door, it was surprisingly locked. The voices inside welcomed them even before they came in. The hotel workers almost instinctively, took the little girl out of the room, passing by lavender and Keith while shivering. Lavender faced the men. Keith now looks different from his previous self downstairs, he isn't joking or childish anymore. He is looking coldly at the men in the room and Keith just happened to remember the faces of the couple. This is the "family of three" Keith didn't kill, the mission he failed to complete that guaranteed his dismissal from his clan. He however wants to say thank you to them because he is better than ever now. They are here to escort them out. The guards they killed were assassins in guards clothing.

Lavender: Laura must know about this before giving the keys out or was she just stupid. Lavender thought to himself.

Lance, lavender's co-worker and fellow mafia member: no, no, no. Shaking his head, you guys are a complete mess. Didn't you check yourself before entering? You are scaring the hell out of them. Pointing at the couple, he continued; we had to take the little girl out of here because of you guys.

Lavender: stop acting as if she should be here in the first place, she is just like him pointing at a grumbling keith. Lavender gently moved closer toward the couple, showed them his hands and said, "don't worry, we won't hurt you, okay".

The couple shook their head saying, okay.

Lance: you idiot.

Aki, another mafia member: too idiotic.

Lance is the one with the curly brown hair, blue eyes and toned body. He calls his technique sexy curls, he is 6 foot 2, he likes watching football, he is very rational and he doesn't take bullshit. He is one of those that opposed Keith's acceptance into the Mafia mainly because he considered him a minor. "He is 17, he said, is he ready to die? Too young in my own world".

Aki is the black-haired guy with black eyes, he is 6 foot 1, 80 percent japanese, he is extremely intelligent and kind to fellow members, though he doesn't tolerate anything nonsensical and he pretty much kills without hesitation unlike lance sometimes.

Keith: oh. Upon seeing lance, he knew he got to behave differently and not like with Lavender who is as friendly as he is dangerous.

Lance: Keith, how are you doing?

Keith: fine.

Lance: raised his eyebrows.

Keith: oh shit, I gotta say something else but what? Like I just killed many men out there, I choked lavender several times on the way here or I am enjoying this work. What the..... That's saying I enjoy killing people, and seeing who lance is, that's not good. Oh, my. Lance moved towards the wondering the keith. And Keith felt extreme pressure, Oh, no.

Lance: you seem pretty alright. Lance raised Keith's left arm to see the slashed "white lily flower" design on his armband. You got this slashed in a fight? With his cold voice, Lance questioned Keith.

Keith: yeee sss, er, yeah. Yes.

Lance: I see. Here, we don't do things like this, we die and live for the band. Make sure you protect it with your life next time. The flower represents us, if one don't respect it then they are not part of us, if you claim to be one of us, you must act like us. A damaged band is a damaged identity and a damaged identity means that it is a no one. Got it?

Keith: yes!

Lance: stop shouting, idiot.

Keith: okay.

Lance raised his hand and Keith dodged it assuming it was an attack. Keith saw lance just staring at him and he brought his hands forward for lance. lance examined Keith's right hand and wrapped the wounds he had suffered, the wounds hitting the vase and wielding his sword too much.

Lance: he is too young for this, but saying it is underestimating his potential.

Aki: that's right. I started at 16.

Lance: idiot.

Lavender: you know how this work, I can't bring in a boy like him, from his background as just a kid. His skills alone would make them consider him a threat. Boss doesn't like that, I have got more than enough let off, you know.

Lance: more than enough let off? Crazy left off. Speaking as if you care about the rules or even bother following them.

Lavender: I decided to do things differently then to avoid him being targeted.

Lance: glad to hear that.

Aki: nice dad. why don't you adopt him?

Lavender: one more word and you are dead.

Aki: whatever.

Lance: stupid boy.

Aki: ahh!

Keith: haha hahaha.

Lance and lavender looked at Keith and that made him stop laughing for a moment, but when they both started laughing too, he continued. An angry aki told them to stop laughing and get on with the mission.

The couple supported this and their daughter reunited with them. Immediately, lance, aki, lavender and Keith begin the mission.

They moved out of the suite to the row, lance and aki saw the bodies and aki paused to make a call.

Aki: the cleaners are on their way.

The couple shivered seeing this.

Aki: told them to feel free and calm around them, he moved closer to the couple, they couldn't breath, and aki told them to do.

After that, they moved towards the elevator and used it. The elevator door opens again with the gang coming out. Laura ran to the gang and threw herself on lance who seemed bored. Laura saw the way lavender, Keith, the other men and especially aki were looking at her. Glancing towards her way, aki immediately lower his head the second they made eye contact.

Laura: aki, j. Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong junior?

Aki: nothing. You will see us at the meeting.

Laura: don't tell me you are acting like them now. Feeling sad she looked at aki who simply put out a cigarette and started smoking before walking away from the gang and asking them to hurry up.

Lavender: so Laura? About those dudes?

Laura: Yes, the hotel manager came, I was so scared.

Lavender: I thought it was on Thursday?

Laura: yeah. But, he changed his appointment.

Lavender: them you should have told him you were from rivers, and you are operating.

Laura: yeah, I should have told him we were killing people in his hotel in the afternoon. What's time again?

Keith: after two. Glancing at his wristwatch.

Laura: thanks. Over two hours long, you started at 12 right?

Lavender: yeah, we had to wait, so what?

Lance: clearly pissed at lavender. Yeah. We had to, too.

Lavender: you should have done the infiltration and I should have done the guard job. Let's see how you do.

Lance: nope, that's what you were sent to do. We got our pays differently, we do our job differently.

Laura: so?

Lavender: Laura you had everything in the process, and you just had to get this one correctly, you ended up messing it up, again. Meet the boss not me.

Laura: ouch, you guys are terrible.

A car appeared and parked in front of them. Aki: the cleaners are here.

Lavender and Keith part ways with the gang to take lavender's car. And at that, they said their goodbyes.

Laura and aki remained there to help the cleaners.

The assassins around dressing in guard's uniforms were killed. They could have ruined the gang's exit, it made sense to attract their attention and kill them during the entrance to avoid extreme problems and delays. And the worst part, casualty.

Arriving home. Lavender decided to park the car at the garage while Keith went upstairs.

Keith: sigh. I miss home.

Lavender: I know. Now, what should I make you?

Keith: anything except spag.

Lavender: are you kidding? That's exactly what I want to eat.

Keith: then make yours and I will make mine.

Lavender: okay, you don't have to be rude. I will make both.

Keith: why can't I make mine?

Lavender: cause you will just burn my kitchen.

Keith: you are rich enough to get another one in three hours, right?

Lavender: just sit. I will make it.

Keith: okay.

Lavender went to the kitchen to make lunch and Keith took a small nap.

Keith: mom leave

Keith's mom: but why?

Keith: I know you didn't come here to do anything good. So what do you want?

Keith's mom: obviously my son hates me. I just wanted to congratulate you for your first solo mission.

First solo mission.....

Suddenly the conversation changes tone.

Keith: no.... I don't want to go.

Keith's mom: you must go, you must fail.

Keith: no, I don't want to. No, no, no!

Lavender: Keith, keith, Keith, gently tapping him.

Keith: ahh! Keith waved his hands up and almost hit the tray lavender was holding thanks to lavender skills his masterpiece was saved. You have showered already?

Lavender; I am not a dirty boy like you.

Keith: you little....

Lavender: you were talking in you your sleep. Anything you want to tell me?

Keith: later.

Lavender: you can tell me now, suddenly he moved closer to Keith.

Keith: later, lav.

Lavender raised his hands. Okay.

Lavender: I am going to leave you alone, smirking vividly before leaving.

Keith: going to do something?

Lavender: just going to leave since you don't want me to stay.

Keith: what do you mean? I do. I just said later. Why are you so persistent?

Lavender: I didn't ask you to tell me again. I just want to leave.

Keith: okay go. Lavender leaving. No don't, lav. Comm on.

Lavender: tell me.

Keith: well it is about my mom and what she told me before leaving that day.

Lavender: what did she say?

Keith: she claimed she came to greet me, but I knew she came to do something else. I just couldn't tell her to go and she said that I should not fail. She told me to make her proud before leaving. But that's one of the reasons I failed. I hated her awful beliefs and I just wanted to always say no or never follow her words. Getting sober, when I remembered her words mid-fight, I lost the spirit to fight. She caused it.

Lavender: hey, You are here with a beautiful me getting good meals and you are still thinking about her? Am I not enough, anymore? Am pretty sad, you know.

Keith: as you should be.

Lavender: I heard that you this unhappy brat.

Keith: ahh! Lavender! Who treats sad people like that? You are worse than her.

Lavender: me. And I am not like her, I cook. I never had a terrible mother but I guess I still feel sorry for you.

Keith: by calling me an unhappy brat?

Lavender: looking bored, you caused that. Now eat up, don't eat cold foods, k.

Keith: his eyes are now lifeless as usual when he wants to go to that place. lav, going there again?

Lavender: nope, somewhere else.

Keith: he is lying, okay.

Lavender: idiot.

Keith: don't you dare.

Lavender drank the alcohol on the table he is resting on. k.

Keith: uh?

Lavender: if you don't see me around by 8.....

Keith: not again. No, I will cry!

Lavender: If you don't see me around by 8. Am probably not coming home today. I will call Laura to stay with you. Take care, don't wait up.

Keith: not her again. Sigh.

After doing their handshake, lavender picked his car key and left.
