Thread: Upholding Familigia Values & Traditions (Athene & Silverknight)

Keiko Yi Good. His point had been made, and Daisuke knew that to be true. He could have tried to lie or bullshit him, but he hadn't. And that was something the yakuza leader definitely appreciated, if nothing else. Still, he oculdn't lie that part of him was a tad irked at the gesture he'd seen. He was at least able to keep his own reactions and emotions in check simply because he had things he could do when they got back home. For now, seeing him silently admit he was just as upset as Keiko was - but showing his feelings in a very different way - was more than good enough for Daisuke to see and note for the time being. I wouldn't say any words would be pointless. There could be some but, if none that would aid out are coming to your mind, then you're probably doing the right thing. Keep in mind, however, you're not going to be able to keep playing the 'quiet game' with my daughter forever. In fact, I expect it to end when she moves in with you. Giovanni's confirmation made Daisuke's head bow politely. Very well. Seeing as we're done with that, for now, we'll head back and get started on packing until. We'll see you again soon. One by one, they all left the restaurant. However, before Keiko was completely out of sight, Ethan would see her offer him a wave goodbye not the best gesture, but it was definitely better than almost anything else she could have ended up doing. 30th July, 2016 2113 PM Detroit, Michigan, USA Oi, Keiko! We're going to be late! We swore to be there before nine thirty, and it's already nine thirty! Kai was standing beside Daisuke outside her room. It wasn't too surprising she had locked herself in. They had hoped, however, that was the agreed upon time drew closer, she'd wise up and open her door. Alas, no such luck. Kai merely sighed and looked over towards Keiko's father. I think you're going to have to use it. Daisuke nodded, swiftly pivoted on his feet, and stormed off. He doesn't even like me, Kai would finally hear Keiko say. Do you know that for sure? I do know he made no effort to say anything to me. Even when we left, I tried. Failed, yeah. But hell if I didn't make an effort. And then ... just during the whole lunch. He looked so disappointed, and made no attempt to hide it. I'm probably not the type of woman he wants. Not 'busty' enough or some shit like that. Despite being divided by a locked door, Kai could practically see Keiko rolling her eyes, which made him slyly smirk. Well ... as I asked before, do you have anything to prove all of that is true? This may end up working. You do realize, though, the arrangements have already been made? It's too late to simply say 'Nope, don't wanna do this' and not show up, right? It'd cause too many complications, most of them in a bloody fashion. You've been fortunate enough to not see the worst fights we've had. Please ... don't tempt your luck. The door jiggled once more .... but remained firmly locked, making Kai elicit an irked sigh. Well, at least I tried, he muttered, moving aside as Daisuke returned. Keiko! Daisuke called out, You have to the count of three to unlock this door. Either you do so or I'll make it open. ... That has to be a bluff, she thought, moving her head from side to side. Ichi ... ni .... He purposely paused, hoping to hear her get up off the bed and move towards the door. Unfortunately, he didn't hear anything of the sort. San, he simply declared, pulling the item he had gone off to retrieve out and showing it to be a skeleton key. It was something he'd had made years ago, and quite frankly, was relieved about going through with. Keiko blinked, clearly not having expected or known about the key, as she got up off her bed and ran for the window. Nope. None of that. Ah! Keiko gasped as she felt her body effortlessly picked up and thrown over her dad's shoulder. Oh come onnnnnn! This isn't going to work! How do we know nothing bad will happen anywya?! And if it does, then what? To be sorta fair, bad things always happen in life. If you mean, though, from Ethan's family, the answer is simple. It won't likely be from Ethan or Giovanni, but anyone who is more akin to a renegade or rebel. As such, Giovanni will deal with them. Or ... if we're forced to, we will. Regardless, there's a reason our family is still standing. Why do you think I had you learn all of those martial arts at such a young age? It wasn't only to keep you out of trouble. Keiko merely sighed, resting her head against Daisuke's back. Even if she did get some good punches against his back in, he'd have a counter faster than she could predict that . There was one saving grace about being carried out in such an embarrassing fashion, and it came in the answer of the darkness concealing her and Daisuke's forms. The drive took six brief minutes. Right as the car stopped and Daisuke got out, the clock struck 2120 exactly. He looked down to Keiko, wearing a stern expression. Am I going to have to carry you out like that again? Or will you walk on your own two feet? I can work with either method, but I know one answer will seriously wound your pride more than the other. We both know that, in fact. Yeah, yeah, Keiko muttered, reluctantly opening her door. Good. Grab at least a few of your bags. Me and Kai aren't doing all the work, but we will assist. And because of their combined efforts, all of the bags were grabbed. As promised, most were clothing. A few, however, had her college supplies, including the numerous textbooks, laptop, binders, and so forth. Taking a slight breath, Keiko reached forward and used her free hand to push down on the doorbell. Her other tightly held onto one of the mostly clothing-filled bags as she waited, her heart beating wildly in her chest as she waited for Ethan - she assumed that would be who'd get the door - to answer.
