"ah yosuke even after meeting so many new interesting people you still want to hang out with little old me!" Kiryu chuckled.

I sighed. Of course your acting laid back in a situation like this! "I course I want to hang out with you ya dope! We've been best friends since we were five!"

"oh yeah remember when you offered the girl you liked a flower and she rejected you. You spent half an hour crying into my shoulder" he chuckled.

"hehe yeah" I laughed along with him.

"seems your still the hopeless romantic from what I seen with yuri" he said fluttering his eyeslashes at me.

"shut up!" I said punching him in the arm. I felt embarrassed but also relieved. At least some things haven't changed.

We both sat in silence. After what happened last night it was hard for either of us to function. Finally Kiryu broke the silence.

" my dad is all alone. He may be a tough yakusa boss but he's still human. I know that losing me will break him."

"hey don't talk like that man you're not going to die"

"how do you know!?" Kiryu yelled "this is a Killing Game anyone can die at any time-"

"I said your not going to die so your not going to!" I yelled.

Kiryu looked at me with teary eyes and scoffed "you so stubborn but damn am I lucky to have you as my friend"

I grinned at him "hell yes you are now let's do something fun to get your mind off this depressing crap!" I took his hand and led him to the library. I won't let my friend die. No matter what.

"say yosuke did you ever wonder how I got my ultimate?" Kiryu asked

"yes I've been asking since forever!" I complained

"Well as you know my father is the lead yakusa and I was pretty much born in the yakusa. My mother died giving birth to me so my father was super protective of me while I was growing up."

"wow so you grew up with only a father?" I've known Kiryu for ten years but I've never met or even heard of his family. It's strange that he'd bring it up now.

"yep! I've always found the work of a Yakusa very stressful"

"that's because your lazy" I muttered.

"but I care deeply for my family and if they were in danger I would save them which I did and ended up killing ten thousand members of the tojo clan when they threatened my families life which earned me my title"

"wow so badass" I gasped

"so how did you get your ultimate?"

"I got it cause people say I have natural good luck" I muttered feeling embarrassed.

"heh nice! Then I better stick close to you my little lucky rabbit foot" he said ruffling my hair

Man he always knows how to cheer me up. I guess that's why he's my best friend.

"hey yosuke catch!" he threw a pair of swimming trunks at me.

"what are these for?" I asked

"for swimming of course! Now come on I'll race you!" it's weird to see Kiryu so energetic but I guess a day of swimming dose sound nice after everything we've been through.

We got changed and jumped into the pool. We spent the next few hours swimming around in a carefree way. We stopped at the eage and Kiryu sighed.

"you know I'm going to miss doing stuff like this when I'm a Yakusa boss"

"is that what this was all about?"

He nodded "I just want to do everything I can before I'm forced to take responsibility. You'll probably not even want to be friends with me once I become a Yakusa boss"

I took his hand "don't say that man I'll be your friend even if you become a evil dictator!"

He grinned at me "thanks yosuke I really needed to hear that"

"no problem dude" kiryus afraid of everything changing but I'll make sure our friendship is the one thing that stayed constant.

I found Kiryu in the kitchen cooking.

"mmm do I smell cookies?" I grinned.

"yep! Cookings another thing I won't be able to do when I become a Yakusa boss so I'm cooking while I still can"

"so say you didn't have to become a Yakusa boss what would you have become?" I asked.

"Well I'd say I'd have become a chef"

"then you should go for that instead of the whole yakusa thing!"

"oh yosuke out of all the stupid things you could say- I have to be a Yakusa boss! It's what my father what's from me and I don't want to disappoint him."

"Well I don't know much about parenting but if you're father cares about you as much as you say he dose then he would care more about your happiness than the family business" with that I walked off. I hope I was able to get through to him.

"hey yosuke can I talk to you" Kiryu ran up to me out of breath.

"sure what's up?"

"I've been thinking about what you said and for once your right. Once we leave this place I'm going to work hard to become a chef and if my father doesn't accept that then that's his problem."

"aww dude that's awesome" I pulled him into a hug. Man this is the first time I felt genuinely happy in weeks. My friend going to set out to do what he wants. Things in the killing game don't get any better than that.

Kiryus report card has been filled out.
