Aki didn’t listen to him and jerked his arm out of his hold and cockily approached Raijin who remained seated. The dark of the dealer’s room hid most of his face and figure. “You won’t be so cocky if I carve up your face.”
He pulled a switch blade out of his back pocket and flipped it expertly back and forth as he stopped in front of Raijin. Aki leaned forward and pressed the edge of the blade against Raijin’s throat. “Now, why don’t you shut the fuck up and focus on your—urch!”
“As I thought, Yagi has grown complacent in dealing with his dogs,” Raijin said as he tightened his hold of Aki’s throat. “Since we’ve been friends for so many years, I should discipline them in his place.”
His smooth voice slowly grew rough as he stood up to his full height. He seemed to grow taller and taller. Everyone in the room stared at him in blanket fear. Even those who’d been playing with him took two steps back.
TheWaka GashiraIto frantically tried to stop what he knew would be nothing more than a one-sided slaughter. “Senior, please. While I do not care for this junior disrespectful behavior. I would hate for senior to dirty his hands, especially when it’s a rare vacation for you.”
“But I like to dirty my hands,” Raijin argued lifting the feeble human up so his feet danced in the air. He lazily looked over Aki’s terrified expression. “And it’s better for me to discipline him than Yagi, he’s getting old.”
“I may be getting old Senior, but I’m not so weak that I’d let my elder discipline an idiot junior for me.” Someone said sounding disgruntled.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the entrance where theOyabunof the Yamaguchi-gumi stood in a slick grey suit. He was surrounded by his loyal bodyguards who he brushed off as he entered the room fully. He wore a slick smile that didn’t reach his cold black eyes, he approached Raijin passing his other men who all had their heads bowed.
“Yagi, do you want him to live that much,” Raijin asked not looking at him. “I’ve been thinking about all the issues you’ve been complaining about, like rats and snakes. So, I wanted to come by and start cleaning, but this is your only chance to get my help.”
Yagi stopped by Ito’s side and the two exchanged a look before Yagi said, “And if I say yes, what’s the price I have to pay?”
Raijin lowered the struggling Aki to his feet and looked at Yagi. “Better liquor and your help in the future if I need it.”
Yagi’s brow creased as he thought over it, “Okay, deal.” He turned around and spoke to the men in the room with a bright smile. “To those of you who got the message and wore red scarves you’re all going to fight Senior here and those with green scarves will leave, now.”
Everyone in the room hesitated to move for a second as they gave each other confused looks.
After no one moved for too long, he shouted. “Get the fuck to moving!”
Raijin looked down at Aki and spotted the green scarf and patted his shoulder. “You should leave.”
Aki didn’t hesitate and ran for the door. The others followed him which left Raijin, Ito and Yagi behind with six people. After the last person had left, the doors were slammed shut.
The six seemed to have realized they’d been caught and with a shared look they all pulled out their weapons.
Raijin stepped forward as Ito and Yagi moved to the back corner. Placing a hand on his neck he cracked it. “And here I thought I wasn’t going to be able to enjoy my vacation to its fullest.”
Finished stretching, Raijin he unbuttoned his shirt and revealed the intricate traditional Japanese tattoo that covered his back, upper chest, and arms. The cruel face of an Ogre decorated it while on his chest and arms there were bright red plum blossoms and dragons. None of them perfectly hid the gruesome scars that crisscrossed his chest and back.
He left his upper body uncovered, unsnapped his lower mask off and let it fall to the floor as he continued to walk toward them. A thick black fog started to pour from his feet as he entered the circle of six men. “Now, why don’t you all be good little boys and show me your faces.”
“Pfft,” One of the six started laughing as his human face slowly started to melt and blend in with his skin turning a bright orange, revealing his demon features. “Aren’t you being a little too confident flesh eater?”
Another shrill voice spoke as the rest started revealing their true faces. “He is, He is.”
“Let’s put the flesh eaters head on a pike.” One shouted and pulled a short blade out of nowhere.
Raijin spread his arms, “Make sure to show me a good time.”
“Our pleasure,” they shouted all at once as they attacked him.
“Die!”
Raijin allowed the blade to bite into his arm and grinned. “Is that all? Why doesn’t it hurt?”
The demon pressed on the blade and the skin around the blade slowly turned red.
“Fuck! Hurry up and slice this fucker,” he shouted to the others.
Raijin found himself surrounded by all six. Each one stabbed their blades into his body. His blood pooled at his feet as he endured their attack and did not move an inch. He lifted his chin, he stared at the ceiling and muttered. “I guess this is all you’ve got, sad. I was expecting something a bit more thrilling.”
