"A man on her mind"
While riding inside a taxi, I had the chance to explore what was left inside the Yakuza guy's cellphone.
Luckily, it has no passcode or security apps that could block me from searching for useful informations.
It wasn't hard to search for informations, but the search was futile because there was nothing viable or useful in it especially, regarding Nakamura's death or murderer.
All I could find was a bunch of provocative photos of Sakura Himura and her daughter Arashi Himura.
I may not be fond of them, but they're still my father's family and it angers me the fact that they were being lusted upon by a low-life, scummy, worthless criminal. Who knows, maybe there are more out there, lusting upon them, someone worse than a low-life criminal.
Since there was no useful informations, this cellphone had no more use. I have to go back in Kabukicho tomorrow night for another hunt and a bit of inquiry.
While staring outside through the taxi's window, my phone suddenly rang.
I took my phone out and Reina is calling me.
I answered her phone call
"Yes?"
"Ray-kun, bro, where are you right now?" Reina asked over the phone
"I'm running an errand right now."
"Can you come over here? I'm all alone and bored as hell, bro." Reina complained over the phone
"Sorry, I'm busy right now." I bluntly rejected her
"Ugh, come on, I promise you, I'll think of something fun when you get here." Reina insisted over the phone
I didn't respond because I thought of something else....
Something that could help me find Nakamura's murderer.
"Bro, come on, please?" Reina persisted
"Yeah, okay, just text me your house address."
"Okay!" Reina exclaims happily over the phone
I then ended the call.
A minute later, Reina texted me the their address, and I let the taxi driver know we had to change destinations.
Meanwhile, in a crowded and famous luxurious bar solely owned by Sakura Himura, located in the heart of Tokyo, the bustling Marunouchi district. Arashi Himura is hanging out and drinking like queens with her friends.
The bar is overly crowded with many Japanese and foreign men and women with rich and elite backgrounds. With deafening electronic music and loud talks and gossips, Arashi and her friends are on the second floor where only associates and friends of Himura family are allowed to have an access.
Arashi is unusually quiet while her friends are all busy gossiping about their lives and men.
"Girls, what do you think about our Arashi-san being unusually quiet tonight?" One of her friends joked about Arashi being silent
They stopped gossiping..
"Arashi-san, is there something bothering you?" One friend asked her with concern
"Nothing, Rio-san, I'm okay." Arashi finally speaks
"Girl, don't fool us." Another girl disapproved
"We know who you are, and this is the first night that you've been so all quiet and weird." The girl added
"I'm okay, Shion-san, I'm really okay..." Arashi reassured them
"It's just that...."
"Spill it out already, bitch!" Another friend disrespectfully pressured her
Arashi angrily glared at that particular girl
"Damn it, Yume-san! Let the spoiled queen speak." Shion joked
Arashi angrily glared at Shion too
"Can you two please stop and let her continue?" Rio scolded Shion and Yume
"No, wait!" Shion widened her eyes as she thought of something
"What?" Yume confusedly ask
"What is it now, Shion-san?" Rio asked with annoyance
"Maybe Arashi-san is being mysteriously quiet because there's a man on her mind."
Yume gasped, and Rio widened her eyes as well
"Is this true, Arashi-san!?" Yume asked her, suprised.
Arashi grunted in annoyance
Yume started to tease Arashi by poking her shoulder and asking her the annoying, repeated question,
"Is this true? Is this true? Is this true?"
"Heh, seems I'm right." Shion chuckled
"Is this true? Is this true? Is this true? Is this true?" Yume kept teasing Arashi
"Fine! There's a man on my mind!" Arashi angrily blurted
"Are you happy now!?" Arashi angrily added
Yume and Shion gasped
"Oh my god!" They both excitedly exclaimed
"Who is this unlucky man, Arashi-san?" Rio chuckled
"Grrrr...no one!" Arashi grunted in annoyance
"Oooh, so sassy and possessive!" Yume joked
Rio and Shion both laughed
"I'm not possessive, I fucking hate this man!" Arashi protested angrily
Her three friends laughed like there will be no tomorrow
"Two consecutive lies in one night, Arashi-san. I believe that's not your style, honey." Shion joked
"Yeah, we know you're a spoiled, bitchy, sassy, disrespectful, flippant woman, but we also know you're not a good liar." Yume agreed with Shion
"So, who is this man that keeps on lingering on your mind, honey?" Shion asked her with a friendly smile
Arashi didn't respond
"Your secret is safe with us cause that's what friends are for, bitch." Yume reassured Arashi
Arashi sighed wearily
"His name is Ray Shigeyoshi, and he is the son of my stepfather." Arashi finally answered
"So, what's so special about him?" Rio asked with curiosity
"Nothing, he's a dickhead, he's an asshole!" Arashi muttered
"A dickhead? An asshole? Bet he must be so heavenly handsome and super tall to be able to live rent-free on your mind." Yume joked again
"Well, Why do you keep thinking about him if he's being an asshole?" Rio asked her
Arashi shook her head
"I don't know...."
"There's something about this guy, his aura, his demeanor, his vibe. Like every time I'm in his presence, I feel like my mind, my heart, my body wants to submit to him."
"Basically, he makes me feel so powerless, so submissive, and if I reject him, I feel like he would punish me for rejecting him."
"And the worst part? I don't want to deny and reject him because If I deny him, I feel like I won't be able to see him or hear his voice anymore." Arashi solemnly explained
The three girls became unusually quiet, still processing everything what Arashi had said.
