Chapter 2

                                    

                                          
In a red car with tinted windows, parked across from Fuji's Beer and Liquor with the engine still running, three Kure Clan members are sitting. They were waiting patiently..... all with the exception of one.
                          
"Why the hell are we waiting here for? Shouldn't we just go in, wreck the joint, and find him? I mean he's more than likely in there already?" Questioned a small lady with pale skin, black eyes, and white hair tied back to a ponytail with two bangs in front.
                          
"Really, Raian? Mr.Fuji is an old friend of Grandfather, so we can't wreck the place. It'll be a blemish for the clan. Besides, we don't know whether he's there or late, so we need to wait. First sign of trouble and it'll... actually we can still catch him but it'll be more of a hassle." replied a man around average height with a big build, black shaggy hair, and the iconic black eyes; Kure Hollis, one of the strongest fighters in the Kure Clan. He was sitting in the driver's seat of the red car watching the store with a taller younger man with an even bigger frame, bearing red hair and the signature Kure eyes, his name was Reiichi. He too was watching the store front with headphones in, listening to music all while Raian in the back complaining.
                          
"Yeah. Yeah. Shut it with the lecture. Can't one of us just go in and get the medicine we need?" Raian asked in a very grouchy tone about the situation.
                          
"He has co-workers. They might warn him unintentionally or intentionally." Hollis rebuttled.
                          
"Psh, whatever." Raian said, as she leaned her elbow against the window, resting her head in her hand and continued staring at the store. Her mind drifted off, thinking about what she's going to eat, what car to buy with the money she's saving up, whether to train on the Clan's fighting techniques again, maybe take the day off. As she wondered about what to do, she caught something out of the corner of her eye.... or rather someone.
                          
A young man around her age wearing a red hoodie, grey Levi's, and white chucks. On his hoodies were words she didn't understand because they were in English. He was around your average height. He had (YH/C) colored hair and (YE/C).  
                          
She couldn't understand why, but her cheeks became flushed. Soon her heart skipped a few beat, her stomach felt a strange sensation, and her mind was fuzzy. Everything in her peripherals became blurry for her gaze was only fixated on one thing... you. She was memorizing every detail about him; from your attire to the way you were walking. He was the only thing in Raina's world... except... for a... slight... pressure. 
                          
"Hey, Raian? Raian? Raiiiiiian? Are you listening?" A disembodied voice asked.
                          
A wave of irritation flooded Raian's body for the voice was interrupting her sense of euphoria. A scowl formed on her face, her teeth shown to be gritting tightly as turned around to see where the voice was coming from. "What?!?" she yelled as came face to face with Hollis, only to be met with a surprised expression. At the same time, you turned around to see the red car only to shrug your shoulders and continue on into the store.
                          
"Raian, are you okay?" He asked inquisitively.
                          
"Yeah, are you okay?" Reiichi chimes in, just as confused.
                          
"What the fuck are you talking about, Mr.Penis Head?" She responded in kind.
                          
Hollis didn't allow the insult to phase him, but his curious expression remained. "Well..." he said slightly tilting his head, "your cheeks are red and you're breathing heavily."  Hollis stated.
                          
Raian eyes widened, her cheeks became more flushed. She took a moment to contemplate and turned back facing the door "It's nothing, I'm fine." She replied angrily. When she turned back her heart immediately sank a bit for the guy was gone. Her eyes searched the area rapidly trying to spot him, but alas to no avail. She sighed under her breath as to not arouse suspicion. She recollected herself and thought to herself 'Psh, whatever. I don't know what happened but it was probably nothing. Besides, why was I looking for that guy? It's not like I'm going to talk to that weakling... he does look like he works out a bit and he does look familiar. As Raian was thinking this, Hollis broke the silence.
                          
"Umm, okay." He said still confused but just accepted and ignored the weird reaction she had.
                          
"Psh. You're a fucking weirdo, Raian." Reiichi said nonchalantly with a hint of playfulness.
                          
The next thing she said shook and shocked both Reiichi and Hollis. With a her cheek in one hand staring out the window with a bored expression contains a glint of disappointment, she responded in the most uncaring tone "Shut up." and simply continued staring at the store front. 
                          
The two men just stared at each other for a some time, dumbfounded by her calm response. They started mouthing to each other 'What is with her today?' and 'Should we be scared?' With the only proper response they can give to each question was a shrug. 
                          
Before they can continue on with their conversation, Raian interrupted them. "You better be mouthing words to each other about the food stuck in Reiichi's teeth and not about me." She interjected with a sadistic tone. With that, Reiichi checked his teeth, and the car became dead quiet. Typical, Raian thought to herself seeing Reiichi check the nitrile again. All the passengers' gazes were dead set on the storefront for they can get their errand over with. 
                          
Minutes later, someone spoke for the first time in a while. "Don't forget we need to get the herbs for Ohma." Hollis reminded everyone. Psh, if he wasn't Kure, he'd be a fucking Boy Scout. Raian thought to herself.
                          
"Yeah, got it." Reiichi responded. "Anyways..." he continued. "who was that guy that went inside the store?" He asked.
                          
"The one with the red hoodie?" Hollis asked for confirmation. Raian ears perked at hearing this.
                          
"Yeah. He doesn't seem like our guy from the description." Reiichi stated.
                          
"I don't know who he is. Hey Raian do you know... Hey! Wait!" He yelled but Raian was already out the car and into the store
