--------// little before, at Yuki's house.
Orthrus stopped at Yuki's house "you live here?" he said looking at the small house
"Yes l liked it" she smiled "thank you for driving me home" she said and gets down entering her house.
Seeing her getting in, Orthrus drives away with a wide smile in his face and even start singing 5 minutes passed and his phone rang "hello?" he answered not recognizing the number. Not after seconds Orthrus made a U-turn driving fast going back not saying another word till he was near and saw some people dragging Yuki out of her house to a car, he did step on the gas with "I see them"And hit the car they wanted to gets in it. Orthrus felt the hard hit of the airbag but he put his arm reducing the hit, He took his gun out and went outside the car, shooting the one holding the gun first then the others with no hesitation. He heard Yuki screaming from the gunshot but when he clean them fast she went running to him. "Are you okay?" he asked and saw her nodding
"Your head is bleeding…" she said in between her sobs.
Orthrus shake his head "it's nothing, a scratch because of my glasses"
"My eyes lies or Hades guy is here!"
Both turned to see a gang coming with white weapons. Orthrus pushed Yuki behind him "stay behind me" he says then spoke with sarcasm "Is that all what you can do? Hurting a girl!"
One of them laughed "ahaha! Male female all are the same for us"
Orthrus felt the blood running under his chin, he wipes it with his palm and licks it "such a losers, which Hellhound prince you guys belong to? Because he will need to pay your hospital bills"
Hearing the sarcasm they all attacked at once...
--------// Rain car
Yuki's house was right around the corner and Rain saw the red-circle's cars stopping there seeing there was no way in he hit the brakes, took his gun and run outside to where his men were.
"Rain!"
Rain heard once he was there, and he saw Yuki getting her wounds treated by one of his men "are you okay?"
One of his men explains "Boss, Orthrus was defending Miss Yuki when we arrived"
Rain look at Yuki confused "Orthrus!"
Yuki nodded "he drives me home, lucky he came back or else they would have took me away"
Rain frown "and where is he?"
Yuki shake her head a no "he left once he saw the red-circle men arriving"
Rain though about that 'he came back' Yuki used, does that mean someone informed him that's why he came back, if so is it Iatros. Rain took his phone and call a number of one of the men they were at the graveyard, but he didn't answer, he called another one and…
A voice: stop calling none will answer you
Rain felt frustrated "Iatros"
Iatros: you sound angry! Aren't you happy I saved Yuki? If not for Orthrus she would be…
"Thank you" Rain said knowing that he is right
Iatros: so you know how to say that
"…"
Iatros: still I don't need a thank you, I want something else
"What?"
Iatros: let's meet tomorrow, text me the address and the time, it is your choice.
That when the phone call ended.
-------// the next day
Orthrus was with some of his men at a garage ordering "you stay here, but those can go with us, be ready this is a meeting with the red-circle heir it could turn out ugly since we had a fight last time"
Dena got closer when the men start getting ready "Is everything okay? You need me to do anything?"
Orthrus nodded "Iatros said that he wants you to come with us"
"Me!" Dena felt nervous "w-why, he doesn't usually involved me in anything"
Orthrus smiled tabbing her head "he includes you because you are my little sister" he looks at his men getting prepared "Hades never let you be one of us, I am glad Iatros is on the same page as me"
Dena baited her lips "Orthrus… I did something…"
"What?" Orthrus asked but one of his men came to him asking about the area and Orthrus makes it priority "we will talk later Dena"
looking how busy he is Dena went inside a small room in that garage, a place with a small desk a table and a small sofa, not big but neat, she frown looking at the disk "what should I do…"
-----------// at the hospital.
Yohan walked out to his car and gets in driving away, he look at his watch and it was 7pm it was the time for his meeting, Rain did sent an address to Orthrus and the time was at 9.
When he reaches the half of the road he saw his phone alarming, Yohan look at it and it was a reminder of his 'medication' he frown knowing he left the hospital but he do have some back at the house.
Arriving at the place he found Orthrus and the men ready…
"Iatros, finally!"
Yohan looks at the hour "let me change and grab the medication and I will follow you from behind"
Orthrus nodded and sign for the men to move, he took his car and Dena was already sitting in there "isn't he coming?"
"He will follow us, it's been days I think it's time for his medication"
Dena laughed "he is an addict why you guys keep using the word medication?"
Orthrus look at her and smiled "He does, we shall do it too, easy life!" but Dena shake her head in disbelieve.
Inside Yohan went to the desk inside the small room at the garage and open the drawer "it was here!" he said not finding it, but searched everywhere "did I take it to the hospital office?" he look at the hour seeing it's 8 and frown "damn it" he cursed going to change first then leaves to his car driving fast to reach Orthrus and the others.
--------//
Arriving at the meeting place, Orthrus saw the red-circle men all around, he smiled at Dena then wears his mask getting down looking at the restaurant "such a fancy one" he commented seeing the big entrance, he look at the sides seeing his men taking their position too wearing their masks, he saw the last car stopping and it was Yohan's. He gets down wearing his mask and that tank-top showing off his tattoos walking to the two
"You look like a gangster" Orthrus commented
Yohan smirks "I miss my bat, Shall we?" walking in with Orthrus beside him followed by Dena
"You know the place" Orthrus asked and Yohan nodded
"It is a place usually Edgar and Yojong meets at! I actually got engaged here to Yuki"
"WHAT!" Orthrus said shocked "so you two…?"
"I died remember? So no" Yohan smiled seeing his relieved reaction
Reaching the inside they took Orthrus guns and Dena's knife but Yohan didn't have anything on him
"You already know" Orthrus frown seeing his guns leaving his side.
Yohan did know but he wasn't sure, yet he let the option in case Rain let them have their weapons in.
a servant came to the three pointing with her hands while bowing a 90 degree "this way please" following her the three were led to the VIP room, and when the door got open Rain was already there sitting alone, with some dinner dishes served.
"You guy are on time" Rain says looking up at the three then gesture with his hand inviting them to sit with him
"Thanks" Orthrus says sitting in front of him, Dena chooses to sit next Rain, but Yohan noticed something before "that!" he pointed to the baseball bat leaning in a corner
"It is yours to take" Rain confirmed "it is heavy anyways, and strangely you can swing it easily"
Yohan sits next to Orthrus with an awkward smile "dead muscles"
Rain nodded looking at his arms "I see…Shall we talk while eating?" he asked
"It isn't poisoned?" Orthrus asked
"No, just eat" Yohan said taking some of the food to the plate near him and start eating "I am starving I had many operations today"
Rain scoffs with a smirk and Orthrus was shocked at how he didn't hesitates "well if you say so!"
Rain look at the two "so what do you want?"
Yohan look at Orthrus and Orthrus spoke "first we need to know why you attacked us with the Hellhound"
Rain take a breath "Yuki's clinic exploded that night and the camera caught a man wearing Hades mask doing it" he saw the two looking at each other confused "after the fight we had, it turns out it was the Hellhound doing"
Orthrus nodded "I see… so it wasn't we who starts it and you knew it, so why you tried to kill Iatros and kidnaped him?"
Rain smiled at the question because that makes him look like he is the one starting the fight between "Why is Yuki in your hospital then?"
Orthrus shrugs "she came applying, I didn't know she is a red-circle till yesterday! Also I informed her that we are a Mafia and she accepted on her own you can ask her!"
Rain look at him with a serious look then look at Iatros who was eating in silence "okay, so it was my bad! I apologies for kidnapping you it was a misunderstanding"
Yohan looks up at him swallowing what in his mouth "it is fine, I know I would have escaped easily, but it was fun to know who bailed on us"
"As I said before" Rain had to confirm "not 'us' but you"
Iatros smiled nodding, but start rubbing his head "I see, 'on me' I mean"
"Wait…?" Orthrus was shocked "there is a traitor among us?"
Yohan smiled "was, no need to worry now"
Rain observes how Dena was getting nervous
"You should have told me, I would have skin him alive" Orthrus says with a different tone. And Yohan smiled looking at Dena with "I had no doubt you will"
Rain did smile shaking his head seeing how he was dealing with her, either she will try and kill him herself, or run away!
"Didn't you take the meds?" Orthrus asked Yohan who shake his head a no "I didn't find them"
Orthrus frown but looks at Rain "we shall finish this fast then, I am here in behalf of Hades and I shall ask you if you want to take hands against the Hellhounds, whatever we take it will be 50/50"
Rain raised an eyebrow "where is the 'under your wings' thing"
"I am not my father, and I am in charge now" Orthrus says confidently "I can judge the situation and I see that being allies with you is the best option, don't you want to take down the Hellhounds too?"
Rain take a deep breath "the decision isn't mine" he looks at the two "I will be needing a time to talk to my father"
Orthrus nodded "it is better than a direct refuse, I shall give you the time you need, and at the mean time we won't be fighting any red-circle even Yuki will be safely working among us"
Rain nodded "so, is that all?" Orthrus replied "from my side" and that makes him look at Iatros who was silently rubbing his head "what do you want?"
Yohan look at Rain's neck "what is mine"
