雨降って地固まる

The short woman leaned back but didn’t dare take a step. She’d hold her ground. “Not so lucky. I did die once - I wouldn’t recommend it. That’s the price anyone related to お父様 pays.”

“You’re not related to him, not by blood.” Japanese. Well, at least they had that in common. They certainly didn’t have a father in common.

“Not by blood, no.” Would it have been better or worse if she were? Amiko didn’t know. He didn’t seem to pay his own kids any more mind than he did her. “He adopted me.”

“That would be nice - if we could just turn our backs and have the Hand permanently fuck off - but you killed one of their own. They’ll definitely be coming after you.”

“I didn’t kill anyone, I don’t do that. It was an accident and I asure you I had nothing to do with that. If they do come, though… I can handle it.”

“Accident?” Her eyebrows shot up. It was hard to believe anyone his age still had such naive ideals. Amiko had been robbed of that innocence fairly young sure but there were horrors in this guys past for sure. No one took to the streets to beat the hell out of people without seeing some shit. “Was Black Sky and accident too? I heard you killed it.”

Amiko mulled over the question before she decided it would be best to be honest. “We have the same father.”

Leaning a little too close, he breathed in her scent. “Bullshit. You would be dead right now if that were true. You’re lucky it isn’t true.” After all, he had orchestrated the murder of all of his siblings by Wolverine himself. It was some of his best work to date.

The short woman leaned back but didn’t dare take a step. She’d hold her ground. “Not so lucky. I did die once - I wouldn’t recommend it. That’s the price anyone related to お父様 pays.”

“Well, don’t worry, I’m not fighting this war. I’ve got more things to worry about now.”

“That would be nice - if we could just turn our backs and have the Hand permanently fuck off - but you killed one of their own. They’ll definitely be coming after you.”

“It’s a disorder.”

Amiko mulled over the question before she decided it would be best to be honest. “We have the same father.”
