Tears

Chapter - One

I waited outside of the headquarters for this guy who said he was strong enough to become a member of the Pistols. "The Pistols" it the name of the gang that I was a part of. We don’t do many crimes. The only time we actually pull out guns is when our sworn enemy, the Blood Riot gang, is near. I was leaning on the cold brick wall of the building, inhaling the smoke from the cigarette between my fingers. I was with two others, Ren Takamori and Daisuke Chigusa.


Ren Takamori is the leader of the Pistols that looked like a cheap immitation of Sid Vicious. He's the one who inspired Ren to name us the Pistols. It's a rather gay name compared to the original, but its better that being called the Stones or something. Ren was always trying to look cool in the worst possible way. Smoking cigarettes, drinking till he pukes, fucking everything with two legs. He is a real fake under all those piercings and chains. I wasn’t any different though. I am more pierced and I had black makeup around my eyes. I am the lead singer of an indie band called Panic Attack. It isn’t much of a living but I don’t eat much anyways.


Daisuke Chigusa. I don’t have much to say about him. He doesn’t talk much. I caught him with his tongue down Ren's older brother's throat once. If that’s not proof of someone being gay, I don’t know what is. Daisuke is a pretty nice guy though. He knows how to shut up, unlike Ren.


"Its 7 fucking 30 and that asshole isn’t here yet! He said 7!" Ren complained. Oh yeah! Did I mention that he has a way with words? "This sucks. Its fucking freezing out here and he has the nerve to let us wait for his ass!" Ren smashed out his cigarette with his foot. "Do you want me to warm you up?" Daisuke asked with a strait face, holding out his arms. Ren looked at him. He was a little taken back by Daisuke's words "That’s the weirdest thing you ever said to me." I couldn’t help but chuckle. Those two are so weird when they are together. The door to the headquarters opened up after a couple locks were un-locked.


"Are you guys okay out there? Do you want me to bring out a couple blankets?" A girl with long blonde hair poked her head out of the front door. Her name was Chihiro Hirogashi. She is a very sweet girl with very large breasts. I don’t understand why she takes part in this gang. I think she should go home to bake cookies with her mother, but in reality, she is homeless like I. "No thank you, sweety! We're all fine! Thanks for asking though!" Ren beamed. Whenever Chihiro is around, it seems that Ren forgets he's the leader of some gang and becomes a school girl. It really pisses me off. Just cause she's your girlfriend, doesnt mean you should act like a girlfriend! Chihiro nodded and smiled sweetly before closing and locking the door. "Where is this asshole!?" Ren complained. Back to the good ol' Ren.


"Um..... are you Ren Takamori?" Ren's head spun back to see the man. He had black hair that hardly passed his shoulders. Half of his hair was in his face and it was cut rather messily. His eyes were black and rather faded looking "That's me! Are you the guy that--" "Yes!" He interrupted. "I'm sorry Im late. I had a hard time looking for this place." Ren scowled at the late man. "Late again, and I'd have to stab ya!" Ren laughed as he mess up the other's hair. Jin laughed before we all went back into headquarters.


"Oi! The bugger is here!" I hate it when Ren used British slang. It all sounds so dumb to me. "Really?" Chihiro bounced off of her seat and ran over to the four men. "I'm Chihiro! Very nice to meet you...."
"Jin Hyungwoo."
Hyungwoo..... where did I hear that name from? A Korean pop star?
"Jin Hyungwoo!" She giggled at the end of her sentence, smiling her sweet smile after shaking his hand. You could tell by Ren's expression that he was slightly jealous. He doesn’t like people touching Chihiro. "Okay! That's enough, Chihiro." Ren pulled her away from the other man. "Why do you think you have what it takes to be a member of The Pistols?"
"My parents were the two that started this gang." Ren laughed when Jin said that. "Your parents? Im the one who started this gang." Jin shook his head and became serious. "You're wrong. This gang was called The Black Poison Murderers before." Ren stopped laughing. He had no idea what that black haired guy was talking about. "Ichigo! Come out here! The new guy is talking nonsense!"


The door to the game room opened and a huge man with blood black hair came out. His hair was spiked on the top, at least 2 inches tall.. He had a black tattoo inked on his right eye and he stood over 6 feet tall. He had metal pierings flooding his face and ears. One on his bottom and top lip, one on each eyebrow, a nose piercing, gages the size of silver dollars, and five other pierings on his ears. He was wearing a muscle shirt, showing a red cross on his right arm. He was very muscular. He picked me up over his head once. He had a dark scar running across his thick neck. That scar has history with this gang. Ichigo told me that his throat was cut by The Blood Riot gang. They tortured his lover infront of him, before performing that attack. He was left to die but somehow, he survived. He scowled when he came out, biting on the metal of his bottom lip ring. "What do you want? Im in the middle of a game!" Ren crossed his arms and said, "You've been in this gang for 13 years before retiring! What was the name of the gang before we re-named it?" Ichigo scratched his chin. He is usually very cleanly cut with his facial hair. He leaves a little square patch right under his lip though. It annoys me sometimes.


"Red Terror?"
"Ha!" Ren pointed to Jin as he laughed. " I told you! There is no such thing as the Black Poison Murderers!"
"Wait..... did you say Black Poison Murderers?" Ren looked back with confusion. "That was the original name. The Pistols is our 4th time re-naming this gang. Who told you about the Black Poison Murderers, bro?" Ren and Ichigo are brothers by the way. Sorry for not mentioning that earlier. "This guy, Jin Hyungwoo."
"Hyungwoo!? As in Min and Bai Hyungwoo?" Jin smiled and nodded. "They are my parents." Ren looked back at his brother. Ichigo's jaw was dropped and his eyes were a little more wide than usual. "You..... you're in," Ichigo studdered. "Wait, Ichigo! Just because they were his parents doesn’t mean that he's any good!"
"Are you kidding me!? He is the son of the two best gangsters in all of Tokyo Japan! Even it he doesn’t fight, he will be a great man to be added. His parents must have gave him a few pointers!"
"Ichigo!" Ren whined. He never liked not getting his way. He acts like a little brat sometimes.


"How about you, Chihiro? Don’t you think he should join?" Ichigo smiled like a little boy. His smile wasn’t very attractive on a face like his. I am used to seeing him scowling or smirking. I've never seen him this happy before."I think It's a good idea! He's kinda cute too!" Chihiro answered, hugging Jin's arm. Ren pulled Chihiro away from the other man and hugged her tightly. "Hands off, fucker!" Jin shrugged it off and smiled.
"Himeko?"


Himeko is a rather weird girl. She doesn’t talk a lot but I heard from Ichigo that she killed her own teacher in a sword battle. Sliced his head clear off his shoulders. She's been in the gang for longer than me and I've been around since my parents died! Himeko nodded and went back to shining her Hattori Hanzo katana. The teacher she killed gave it to her because she was his best pupil and he had a thing for her. He was sent to jail twice for child molestation before he was killed."How about you, Kyoharu? Want him in?"
I looked up at Ichigo who was standing next to a grumpy looking Ren. Jin was looking at me too. I never noticed how his gaze could really pierce through me until now. He probably hasn’t been staring at me.
"Sure." I answered. Why not? Cause Ren didn’t want him too? Please. When did I ever listen to Ren when I wanted to? Never, that’s the answer! Besides, Jin looked pretty tough in my eyes. Kinda nice, too.


"Then it's settled! Welcome to The Pistols, Jin Hyungwoo!" Ichigo announced. "Let's get drunk! Kyoharu! Get to the cellar and get the alcohol!" Me? Why do I have to do it? Only if I get to drink. I started walking to the cellar when I noticed Jin was right behind me. He was rather tall compared to me. I'm only 5 feet tall. I wish I was taller. I feel like a midget all the time! Even the girls are taller than me!


"Kyoharu, right?" I nodded. "Yeah. Kyoharu Toshimatsu." Jin scratched his head in reply. He acts kinda dumb. Maybe he isn’t good for the gang. "Hey, since you know about my parents, how about you tell me about your parents." I sighed internally. " My parents are dead." When I turned around to face him, he looked all shocked and sad. "I, I'm so sorry." His face is rather attractive. No one that attractive could be strait. "They died ten years ago. It's ancient history. It doesn’t matter anymore. Quit staring at me with that pussy face!" Jin's head quickly turned away from me. He's so weird.


After a couple more steps, we were down the cellar and looking at the alcohol cabinet. "Wow! What a collection!" Jin smiled. I rolled my eyes and nodded. I've never seen someone so happy to see so much alcohol. Jin and I grabbed a couple of bottles of wine, tequila, vodka, and sake. We both walked back to the others and sat down with our choices. "Sake? No one ever drinks that stuff anymore!" Ren complained picking up the vodka bottle. "Well, I do! The traditional stuff is the way to go!" Jin explained. Jin isn’t even Japanese! What does he know about traditional? Oh well. I wanted some of that sake myself.


I didn’t drink much but by the way they were acting, everyone else was shitfaced. All giddy in their drunk happiness. Even Ren seemed happy to be there! Ichigo and Daisuke left maybe 15 minutes ago to do, what-not. "I wanna play pool!" Ren announced, happily. He was asking like a drunk teenager, but I can't blame him. Doesn’t everyone act like that after a couple shots? "Kyoharu! Play with me!" He allowed himself to just lay on me. If I would have turned around to see his face, I would have seen his drunken smile. "I don’t wanna play pool! Get offa me!"
"Only if you play pool with me!" I had to get him off me! Last time we were in this position, I got drooled on. It wasn’t pleasant. "Fine!" Ren jumped off me and "woo"ed. "Jin. Come with us!" I ordered. He did what I said though. I'm not stupid enough to stay in a room alone with a drunk person with a player reputation.


When I opened the door to the game room, I wasn’t expecting to be scarred for life, but shit happens. I witnessed a red haired man on top of another red haired man, both ass naked. Worse, they were on top of the pool table! I closed the door before anyone could witness also. "Don’t go in there. I found Daisuke and Ichigo." "So!?" Ren yelled. I hate it when drunk people scream. It's so annoying. Ren pushed me out of the way and staggered to the door," You're a liar! You just don’t wanna play drunk pool with me!" Ren opened the door. It was closed just as soon as it was open. "Okay! Never mind." Ren's eyes were so wide, they were almost circles. Those two scared the drunk right out of him. Glad about that too.
