I take a deep breathe before nodding my head 'okay' to Soryu. He knocked a couple of times and then the door slowly opened revealing... An orange haired man with paint all over his face.

Serena: "Aah!"

I screamed before throwing a kick.

Ota: "Owe! What is wrong with you!?"

Serena: "What is wrong with me!? What's wrong with you!?"

I yell at Ota who now had my shoe print on his forehead.

Ota: "Nothing!"

Serena: "You scared me!"

Ota: "How did I-...! ...oh."

Ota begins to say but Soryu pulls out his phone and shows Ota what he looked like, making him stay quiet.

Soryu: "Yeah."

Ota: "Sorry Serena, I pretty much forgot about this."

Ota days as he gestures his whole painted face. A small tugs on lips as I look at the funny figure.

Serena: "It's fine, I'm sorry too. Is your head okay?"

Ota: "Yeah."

Baba: "I thought I heard a familiar voice!"

Baba yells as he walks towards us all with a cheerful expression clearly on his face. I wave hello in response.

Serena: "Hey Baba."

Baba: "Serena!"

Serena: "P-Put me down!"

I yell as I feel myself feel lifted. Twirling around he spins me in his arms while I squirm to get away.

Baba: "Don't knee or punch me, I'm just showing my love."

Soryu: "I think that's enough."

Soryu says in a serious tone as he places his hand on Baba's shoulder.

Baba: "You always spoil the fun."

Ota: "Looks like someone's jealous~"

Ota teases, earning himself an annoyed eye roll from Soryu. A small smile grows on my lips as I watch them.

Soryu: "Tch..."

Serena: "Guys we came here for a reason."

Baba: "What's wrong?"

Serena: "We walk in and you immediately think there's something wrong."

I say while placing my hand on my hip.

Baba: "Hmm...I don't know something about the whole mafia vibe on the two of you might be the cause of that."

Baba comes back in a sarcastic tone.

Serena: "Fair point."

Baba: "So what's up?"

Serena: "Where's Eisuke? He needs to be in this conversation."

Eisuke: "I heard my name."

Eisuke speaks, causing us all to look up at the stair case where he was relaxing on with his 'cool boy' attitude.

Serena: "Were you waiting the whole time for that?"

I say only to ruin his moment.

Eisuke: "Of course not."

Ota: "Probably did."

Baba: "Yeah."

Ota whispers to me then Baba joins in. A sly laugh escapes my lips at their comments.

Eisuke: "What's going on?"

Serena: "My sister was taken by the mafia, they still don't approve of Soryu and I being together."

I speak up the situation to the arrogant man that was walking down the stairs.

Eisuke: "I see but what do I have to do with this? It's not my fault you had to fall for the enemy, now is it?"

Serena: "Eisuke..."

Soryu: "You're right it isn't your fault but after everything we've been through we were expecting you'd help."

Soryu says these words as he takes a few steps forward. Now standing in front of me I could no longer see his or Eisuke's expressions.

Eisuke: "And why is that?"

Soryu: "Let's just make this easy or should I remind you cancun?"

I hear Soryu whisper to Eisuke, high enough for me to hear.

Eisuke: "You wouldn't."

Soryu: "I would."

Eisuke: "Mamoru get up you lazy sloth and help us prepare for our next mission."

Eisuke walks towards the lounge and smacks the back of Mamoru's sleepy head, waking him up from what seemed an eternal sleep. There was just no end to this detective's laziness.

Mamoru: "W-What? Huh?"

Serena: "What exactly just happened?"

I ask while tugging the side of Soryu's suit, grabbing his attention. Turning to look at me he speaks up to give me an honest answer.

Soryu: "Let's just say Eisuke got a little too scared when he swam with sharks."

Serena: "Too scared, what'd he do shi-...? Oh..."

I stop myself from talking now understanding what the black haired man before me meant. Trying to hold in my laughter I cover my mouth with the back of my right hand.

Soryu: "Exactly."

Mamoru: "They aren't afraid to hide their presence. They have corrupted cops on their side and many poor people just trying to make a living too."

Mamoru begins to speak of our plan.

Serena: "Hm."

Eisuke: "Their facility is at a famous casino on the other end of Japan. My idea is for us to just announce our visit so we don't seem like a threat."

Soryu: "That won't work, they'll simply ambush us before we could even get to the front entrance."

Soryu shoots that hard comment at Eisuke. In return Eisuke gives him a glare and speaks up in a cold tone.

Eisuke: "The fact that they have high tech gear, cameras and watch dogs wouldn't make it quite easy to sneak in. So unless you have a better idea I think you should just be quiet and listen."

Serena: "He's right."

I answer while grabbing Soryu's hand to calm him down. Soryu intertwines his fingers with mine as he takes a deep breath. Smiling at him to reassure everything was okay I then focus back on the guys that were discussing the plan.

Baba: "How do you suppose we announce their arrival?"

Eisuke: "I have my contacts."

Serena: "Okay so how are we going there?"

I ask curiously. I wanted to know what type of transport we'd take.

Ota: "We could use my private jet, it's the safest option."

Serena: "You own a jet?"

Ota: "Well duh, how would I get my inspiration for my paintings?"

( I guess I didn't know everything.)

Baba: "There is a thing called the internet."

Ota: "It's better to see things in person."

Baba: "It's the same to me."

Ota: "You rather see girls in person then on your phone or am I wrong?"

Baba: "That is true."

(Gross...)

Mamoru: "Well that topic escalated quickly."

I facepalmed while hearing there little argument then switch it back to what was important. Speaking up I give orders, taking control.

Serena: "Alright, Eisuke talk to your contacts. Ota get your jet ready and Baba get me some weapons."

Mamoru: "Is it fun barking out orders kid?"

Serena: "As a matter of fact it is, now go do your job and find the weakness of those corrupted cops."

Mamoru: "..."

Serena: "Let's get ready."
