Thread: Yuna's Post Samples (Feel free to look but don't post here please)

Gangs can be found anywhere, from the largest towns to the most unlikely ones. For the city of Portland, Maine, it is no exception. In fact, as of late, things have been making a turn for the worst and the cause of it all has been doing anything but trying to hide it. A mostly Asian gang known as Yomi, which when translated from Japanese to English means simply 'Underworld'. It was a name that the founder - Shinjiro Tsuimori - couldn't help but take quite a bit of pride in. He had only found Yomi a couple years ago, but already they were making a hell of an impact on Portland. Unfortunately, however, it wasn't for the best. It was a perfect autumn day in September not too warm but not too cold at the same time. Shinjiro had just finished up planning a trafficking operation and was taking an opportunity to relax. It would be a couple hours before it went into play. Heading into the garage of their base of sorts, a smile came to his face as he found his younger sister already there. Sitting down at a table, listening to music on her Ipod, he snuck behind her .... and landed his hands upon Asuka's shoulders. A playful smirk crossed his face as his sister quickly jumped in response. ...Son of a ... ugh! Don't do that again ... geez ... Still, she did manage her own smile back. Slipping the earphones away, she sighed as she looked right up into her brother's eyes. She loved her brother ... in a sisterly way, of course. But sometimes .... she really wished he would halt - permanently or otherwise - his operations. He had gone through so many risky ones ... and there had been a few times that they had resulted in rather close calls. Some too much for her to handle. She ... no ... they had already lost their parents years ago. It'd be devastating if she lost him also. .... You got another plan tonight? She asked slowly, a part of her almost wishing she hadn't even inquired to begin with. The nod she saw from Shinjiro confirmed her answer. Slipping her Ipod into her pocket, her arms went across her chest. Oi, Shinjiro ... can't you give those a rest? Onegai? Her heart sank as his head shook ... but in the direction of a 'no' this time. Imouto .. we've come so far as it is. This ... is to keep ourselves alive you know? More than myself, it's for you. I allowed you in here so that you can always remain safe .... A scoff quickly left Asuka's lips. Hai, because I totally feel safe with the cat-calls and stares some of your men give me .... Turning on her feet in annoyance, she could already feel this was beginning to go nowhere. Sometimes ... she really wished he'd listen. Never mind! Whatever! Just .... forget it .... A soft sigh was heard from behind her and soon she felt her brother's arms wrap gently around her waist. Imouto ... don't get like that at me. The intentions are good at least. As far as my men go ... they at least don't get bold enough to do more than look right? That's not the point! As Asuka turned, Shinjiro could see tears forming in his 18 year old sister's eyes. You're doing so many careless .. stupid ... things! Please ... stop while you're ahead! Normally, the teenager was much stronger - physically and emotionally - though more the latter. But it was times like this she couldn't help but weaken, even if only a bit. ....Stop? You make it sound so easy. Maybe .... later. Right now? His head shook no again. Gomen ... imouto ... oi! Wait! It hadn't been but seconds after he spoke that finally Asuka turned back around. This time, however, she didn't stop ... not even at her brother's words. Heading up into her room, she resumed playing the music that had been paused on her Ipod. Locking the door to ensure she would be left alone, she then logged onto her laptop. Baka, baka, baka ..... She murmured under her breath, exhaling deeply to try to calm herself down. Logging into AIM, she began conversing with some of her more ..... 'normal' friends, the music and talks aiding her with calming down. From outside her window, she could - though barely - hear her brother begin to round up the others. He was getting them ready ... ready to head out once again. Her head shook as her attention went to the screen. ...Kami help him .... She thought, trying to keep her thoughts off her brother, even if only for a bit. Shinjiro knew - and understood - why Asuka was annoyed. Simultaneously, all he had said was true. He had come too damn far to just throw his hands up and say, Fuck it, this ends now ... After doing a quick headcount and ensuring all the others were there, he paused, his eyes closing for a few moments. As they opened, a look of fierce determination was in his eyes. Alright boys! Get all your things ready and head out! I expect to see you all at the destination in twenty or less! Heading over to a motorcycle, he climbed up on the seat. Putting a helmet over his head, he gave one last glance to where his sister's room was. A weary sigh left as he pulled the visor down to cover his face. Turning back around, he started up the Harley Davidson and before anyone could argue or protest, he was off on his way. He realized leaving his sister alone in the warehouse was a bit of a risk .. but he also knew she would take precautions. Besides, they should be done in an hour, probably less. One by one, motorcycle after motorcycle followed after Shinjiro until finally, all that remained was the 18 year old Asuka whom was still inside her room ...
