Fanna GalleryThe fierce eyes are staring at her; intense and deep. It gave her a solemn and deep feeling she couldn"t describe. Each time she has been in the gallery, this portrayed a women eyes with dark background always welcome her. This portrays put her name on the map in the photography world. It starts her career and allowed her to start a new life, so does she thought but her past will never let her go. She still didn"t realize everything has been set by someone else; someone with a deep vengeance and hatred. Someone who swears she will wipe out the entire Yakuza Family from the world. The hatred was deep enough to erase the line between good and bad. Truth and lies.
When she met Oata, she thought the sun finally shine upon her, the G.o.d finally notices her and the world stop turns against her but Fiona never satisfied. She kept on begging Fiona to let her live with freedom on her hands but she refused. She kept insisting to push through her vengeance towards yakuza and especially Anzo group. Both of them lost everything in the hands of Anzo family a few years back and now fate plays with her when she falls for Oata. She wants to forgive and forget the past, lives happily with full of love. Maybe it is impossible for her to wish for happiness.
"It is interesting with only eyes we can showcase a lot of emotion. This woman needs love and she can"t hide her sadness. I really pity the owner of these eyes." She startles to the voice and immediately turns to it. He smiles at her and continues more,
"But the determination she had will help her, she just needs to let go" he satisfied. Smile at her and she returns the smile to him back.
"Your interpretation is unique. Most people only able to see her hatred and anger but not sadness." she compliments him and can"t help be impressed because his interpretation is what she intentionally tried to portray through these eyes.
"Thank you Miss Daiki." he nods happily before he turns his soft smile to an evil smile instead before add, " Please tell Mistress I have complete her order." her face immediately turns pale and she starts shaking her whole body. The man didn"t wait for her response and just walk away after the last sentence. The cold sweat runs down on her forehead. Mistress, he was referring to is Fiona and the only ways everyone wants to talk to Fiona always through her. It was arranged way long before she realizes. She is the only connection between Fiona and the world. She walks slowly to her office to calm herself. She can"t let other clients look at her white sheet face. When she opened her door, she saw Fiona lie down on the sofa with a smile.
"He is good. Now, there will no trace between you and the daughter of Hinode"s accident. So, rest a.s.sures. Your beloved will never suspect you" Fiona twirling her strand of hair with tease look on her face.
"Fiona, I will do everything but let Oata out of it." she throws a hopeful wish to her but she just shook her head.
"Ohh... I will think about it but now I have another task for you. Will you do it for me?" she asks politely, maybe it sounds polite but it is not intended as asking but it is more as an order she needs to agree with.
Leave with no choice, she nods weakly. "What do you want me to do?"
"It is just a simple task. I want you to kill n.o.bu Anzo." she made a gesture of her thumb moving across her neck but still maintaining an evil smile.
"Are you crazy?!!" she tried to deny her. It is an impossible task. How is possible for her to even come near him. This is suicidal.
Fiona ignoring Fanna attempt on denying her and she told her, "Make it like it is Hinode."
Now she even wants her to put the blame on Hinode Family. She really wants her dead indeed. Both of the family is strong with ironclad security and never had they allowed outsider like her to move freely near them even though she is Oata"s woman.
Fiona stands and walks to her slowly and every step put a heavy burden to Fanna. She closed her eyes wishing the woman in front of her is not real but she can feel a caress on her face from her touch and her hot breath in her ear, she whispered, "Be a good girl and make it done, my darling". Then she laughs eerily before vanishing again.
Fanna stood frozen, not dare to move even though Fiona was gone.

Anzo Branch Residence (Mashimoto Residence)
Oata walks to the garden slowly and he saw a man enjoying his time with his dog. The man faces beaming with excitement every time the dog finishes its trick. He generously feeds it with dog snack.
That happy man is his father; Mashimoto Anzo, a man generous with a smile but not forgiveness. He saw this man killed many people without batting his eyes. Never trust the smile as an easy going person, when you do that then there might not be tomorrow for you. He thought to himself, reminding him to be careful with his words even though that man is his father. As he comes close to them the dog immediately runs and jumps to him while wagging it tails happily. He pated and rub it a few times before continues to approach his father.
"Father, how are you?" he greets him politely with a bow.
"I am good. Why are you here?" he asks casually while stroking his dog.
"I have a few questions," he a.n.a.lyzes his father reaction and then adds, "Do I need to prepare anything in future?".
"You heard huh? Well, honestly it is not from our end but it wouldn"t hurt if you arrange everything." Mashimoto looks at his only son worry face. He nurtured young man in front of him to be a leader and he is certainly great at it. His capabilities proved with the ways he expands theirs territory in Central and West Tokyo. Their profit increase and the family are more stable and strong under him. Combination of him and Touma really bring prosperity to the family and they enjoy the power to the fullest.
"It is my shatei but not within the closed circle but just an employ years ago. He just got out from prison and didn"t make any contact with the family but had gone to do this. I can"t stomach the reason he was doing this." he explains to his father after he convinced both of Oyabun and his father was certainly not involved.
"Why the daughter of Hinode but not his firstborn?" he wants to know whether Oata had done full research or it just the same as his.
"Actually she has been chasing Touma for a while and I think Touma starts to have interest on her," he heard his father laugh his a.s.s off after he finished. He confused but kept his calm until Mashimoto has done laughing.
"I thought Touma was interested with you know... (Cough)... gay... (Cough)" he almost couldn"t believe his ears when his father said that. It will be a lost for heaven if his cousin decides to go to the other side. May G.o.d bless all women in the entire world. He shook his head helplessly.
"Father, Touma might kill you if he heard about this" he warns him.
"No worries. I have you to protect me" he smiles cheekily to Oata. Oata can just let out a helpless sigh looking at his father.
"How are you and the beautiful photographer?" Mashimoto now poking to his matter but he smiles lovingly and said, "We are doing great. Do you want to meet her?" Oata relationship is not a secret. He needs to tell the world in order to keep away all flies around her and to tell everyone to never dare to use her as his weakness.
"When its time I will meet her but not now. Your relationship is still fresh and I don"t want people to think it is easy to be Anzo"s." he firmly replies him put him in hope but still didn"t forget to remind him their status.
"Then I take my leave first and father, I will handle Hinode"s matter a.s.a.p.," he bows before leaving Mashimoto at the garden.
