37 - Secret behind the screen
Ehehehe, surprise, readers, Kazu2 😈
Enjoy :)
This all done by me, no K2 to help cause I wanted this to be a surprise:D
~•~•~•~
Due to the information that Mikey had gained through Hanma, the two of them decided to form a small alliance. Although that alliance is as fishy as a morning market.
They have the same goal in mind, and that is to learn what this secret is. And to achieve that goal, they'll have to get rid of everyone that is connected to Toman. Every single person.
More and more and more bodies piled up under their feet. The more steps they took the more trail of blood they left behind.
All of this just to know about this secret.
(L/N)(Y/N) was a secretive woman. In the past, she wouldn't keep anything from her friends, in fact, they were her lifeline, her wall she could lean on.
But due to certain events, she couldn't even trust them anymore to reach out for help. She had lost all trust in the people she once cherished the most.
Toman is a big group. It was thanks to (L/N)(Y/N)'s own personal acquaintances that Toman managed to make connections out of Japan. There were many other people spread in many countries that are connected to Toman.
It was thanks to her that Kisaki could make Toman the biggest criminal organization in the whole world. She was a valuable piece to him, but once she served her purpose, she was tossed to the side.
So... how long did it take the two men to completely wipe out Toman of the planet?
Six years.
In those six whole years, the person behind the letters only contacted them a total of four times. One was to tell them that they knew about their shady alliance. Two was to tell them that they'll be dropping hints as to where members of Toman were hiding. The third time was to tell them that they have finally passed the 50% percent mark. The final letter... arrived today.
"September 15, 2023
Well, well, it seems that you two succeeded. First and foremost, welcome back to Japan.
How was your world tour? I hope that you, at the very least, got me a small souvenir. I like wine and Limoncello from Italy.
Also, did you like your stay? Kagawa Chie personally paid for your hotel expenses. How very generous of her. As expected of her right hand. Anything that concerns her never escapes her ears.
Now then. Since you finished her final wish, it's about time that you learn of her secret.
Meet me at Shoki's hotel in Aoyama next month on the 10th, around 10 pm.
- Just some informant you know"
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ °∘❉∘° ˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩
Like the snap of a finger, the day of the meeting came to be.
The two of them stood in front of each other, the silence growing more and more between them. They didn't give each other any greeting, they never liked each other in the first place. That alliance from before is just something they needed to finish off Toman faster. Their hatred for each other still hasn't disappeared after six years of working together. Talk about dedication.
With no other words uttered, the two entered the grand hotel. This hotel in Aoyama is fairly luxurious, there are many people here of high importance. So, since that person can stay here so easily, then that person must be of high status.
"Welcome, Hanma-san, Sano-san." In front of them stood a woman, a familiar face for the two of them. Kagawa Chie, (Y/N)'s right hand. "Please follow me, that person is waiting for you two."
With Chie leading them, the three of them entered the elevator. Chie pressed a button, and in Hanma's knowledge, it's the penthouse. How funny. The penthouse was (Y/N)'s home for a while, he comes here from time to time to spend time with her.
Once the elevator arrived at the penthouse, they were immediately greeted by a dimly lit room with a dining table in the middle, the only lighting in the room was the lamps on the side. And... well... the dining table was only for two. But right beside it was a wall, well, not really a wall, but more of a screen. A black screen, yet it was slightly see-through. They could see a silhouette.
"So, you two made it." A voice spoke up from behind the screen, startling the two males. "Why not take a seat? Kagawa-san, please have them deliver dinner now."
"Certainly." Chie answered with a business smile as she went over to the dial to make a call to the reception, leaving the three guests on their own.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Take a seat." The person behind the curtain said, gesturing over to the table. "If you still find me suspicious, I'm sure that Hanma-san can get rid of your suspicion."
Mikey glanced over to Hanma, his eyes basically asking him if this was the person. Hanma seemed hesitant, but he nodded either way. So, the two of them took a seat, facing each other, and right beside them was an unknown person. That person was just a curtain away, they wanted to lift it up and see them, but that won't be a good idea right now.
"As promised, I shall tell you her secret." The voice continued. The two kept their gazes on where they thought the face might be, trying to make out features. "But before that, let's have dinner, shall we? Dinner's arrived."
Right on cue, the elevator sounded and their dinner arrived. Room service, how fancy. The man walked up the side and began to serve dishes, but the two still kept their gazes behind the curtain.
And with silence as their background, the three of them finished eating dinner. The workers took their plates and rearranged their table, looking like they'll be having wine.
"Tonight's wine was personally picked by our esteemed guest." Chie said, pouring wine on the three cups. "Tempranillo that they bought back from Spain."
After finishing, Chie took one of the wine cups, handing it over to the person behind the curtain. Just that small gesture and the two guessed that Chie and whoever is behind there know each other.
"Now then, I shall be taking my leave. Please enjoy your night." Chie gave a respectful bow before leaving the penthouse, leaving the three once again. "Good luck."
"Aren't you going to listen to it?" Hanma asked. He's always seen Chie attached to (Y/N)'s side. It was impossible to see (Y/N) without Chie within a mile radius.
"Hanma-san, no need to bother the boss." The informant said, making him turn to them. "Kagawa-san has other important matters to attend to."
"Thank you, esteemed guest."
"No problem. Tell your niece happy birthday for me, thanks!"
Now that Chie was gone, things went silent once again. Hanma was just swirling his wine, suspecting of poison or something like that. Mikey didn't even glance at his drink.
"Well, you two sure are impatient." The person from behind the curtain sighed, taking a seat of their drink. "I always keep my promises. You'll get your secret."
"Before you that though, who exactly are you?" Hanma asked, placing his untouched cup on the table. "You had us purging the whole of Toman for six years. The least you could do is say your name."
"That's true." Mikey agreed. The moment they stepped inside this place, not once did the person from there introduce themselves.
"If that's the case, call me Kei." The unmanned person finally introduced themselves. Kei, that was the name of the person behind the curtain. "Does that satisfy your curiosity?"
"I call bullshit." Hanma muttered, rolling his eyes at this easy tactic. "I know full well that name is fake. But I'll accept it for now."
"I'm glad to hear that." Kei chuckled, running a finger on the cup's rims. "Now then, would you like to know her secret?"
"What else are we here for?" The two of them said. Mikey clenched his fists, getting impatient with how Kei worked. Sooner or later, he might have just dragged Kei out of there. "Just spill it out."
"Yes, yes." Kei chuckled once again, finding this situation somewhat funny. But for the other two, there was nothing funny about this situation. They could see Kei relax on the chair, head on one hand while moving the curtain slightly with the other. "Now then, let me tell you a biiiiiiig secret!"
There was silence once again. But this time, you could make a faint sound akin to a drum. And that was the fast heart rate of Mikey and Hanma. This is the secret they spend six years trying to accomplish. And finally, they'll get to hear this.
"The secret that (Y/N) herself died protecting..." Kei paused, adding tension to the room. "A secret not even Kisaki knows. A secret that only three people in the whole world know! Exciting isn't it!?"
"Just get to the point already!"
"Of course, of course! (L/N)(Y/N)..... Dudududududu!! - Has a child and one of you is the father."
