Today was an odd day, meeting up with other mafioso and getting threatened by one in the same day. Unfortunately for him though, he's going to have to work overtime or just hope for good tips from this job. He got out of the car and looked at the dent, shaking his head. Alright, snap out of it. That dent isn't gonna fix itself Vico. After he locked the car and turned on the alarm, he straightened out his black vest and white dress shirt. His knuckles were hidden inside his vest and his ring was hanging from his neck. His box weapons were attached to his belt like keychains that juggled as he walked along to the front of the night club he worked at. While only bouncers were only supposed to carry weapons, his father managed to bend a few rules and made it okay for Vico to carry his weapons. He walked to the front of the building to see Ryuu Yamamoto as the only bouncer in front. Vico smiled and stopped in front of him. There were a few minutes before his shift started and it was pretty early for people to start pouring in. "So Ryuu, you think it's gonna be a boring night again? It's been pretty calm these past few weeks." [/style]

That hadn't been there previously...he lightly wondered what the heck the other had hit to leave such a dent, then realized he really didn't want to know. Lightly running his fingers through his pony tailed hair, he turned his attention back to his current customer, carefully checking their ID before letting them into the club. Vico was walking towards him to enter the building, Ryuu didn't need to check him because he was an employee as well and Ryuu already knew who he was. No need to waste his time. "Too calm, if you ask me. I'm just itching for something interesting to happen," the swordsman answered casually as he adjusted the wooden sword he kept as his weapon as a bouncer at his waist - many believed that the sword was just a little bit outdated...but troublemakers quickly regretted their troublemaking once they realized they were up against a master of the katana - even with a wooden one. His own box weapons were on a chain attached to his jeans and his family ring casually on a simple silver chain around his neck. "What happened to your car?" Ryuu asked, tilting his head towards the dented vehicle. "Looks like you got into a wreck with a brick wall." he stated, laughing slightly as he crossed his arms over his chest, looking very much the bouncer part with his darkened clothes. [/style]

"Yeah, I know, right? To be honest, I think you scared most of them away with your sword skills." He took out a stick of gum and put it in his mouth before offering one to Ryuu. "I kinda need to release some stress anyway, so I really hope some idiots looking to cause trouble come by..." He put the gum back in his vest pocket and winced when Ryuu mentioned his dented car. He crossed his arms and sighed as he shook his head. "A brick wall? Oh boy, you don't wanna know what caused this dent. You probably wouldn't believe me anyway." Just thinking about the incident with Rai and his buddies agitated Vico. Rai himself was nice, a tad dull, but his friends were rather odd and somewhat rude. As he blew a bubble with his gum, he turned around and saw five yakuza guys walking towards them. Vico recognized three of them as they were already kicked out of the club for disrupting the peace. He popped his bubble and walked up to the five guys, who stopped when Vico walked up towards them. As soon as he was 5 feet away from them, he took a good look at them and frowned as he shook his head. "You guys again? Not sure if you know this, but you guys aren't allowed inside. And before you try to BS your way in, I was there when you three pulled that stunt." The middle one smirked and pulled out brass knuckles as the other four pulled out weapons of their own. One had tonfas, two had knives, and the last one had gloves with steel knuckles. Vico quirked an eyebrow and made a big grin. "Oh? If you think you can us on with five guys, you're dead wrong." Vico slipped out his steel knuckles with blades from his vest and chuckled when he saw them flinch. "Awww, you guys chickening out already?" A guy with a knife had enough of Vico and decided to charge in. Vico saw this and deflected the stab before uppercutting the guy on the chin, sending him flying a few feet back and knocking him out. Looking at the result, Vico looked at his knuckles and then back at the other guys. "So who's next?" [/style]

Pulling out the wooden blade, Ryuu experimentally swung the weapon easily. "I kind of hope I didn't scare them away with my amazing skills with a katana. Then the only fun I would have in a sword fight would be with my mother, grandfather and some of my friends..." Ryuu answered dryly, taking the gum and putting it in his mouth to chew, blowing a small bubble before letting it pop. "I take what I can, when I can..." Ryuu raised an eyebrow towards the other when he mentioned that he may not believe him about his car. "Try me," he stated rather casually, running his fingers along the wooden blade. Before he could receive any sort of response, he watched as several yakuza members came into his line of sight. He knew one or two of them - they liked harassing the waitresses sometimes and he'd thrown them out on several occasions. He raised an eyebrow calmly towards the group, calming backing up Vico. "If you try anything, I'll kick your ass," he stated rather casually as he approached one of the men with knives, with a calm smile on his face. The man lunged and Ryuu stayed completely calm. "five should do the trick, samidare," he muttered slightly under breath as the yakuza member with the knife swung at his sword hand - his left - hand. Ryuu swung the wooden blade towards him in an upward diagonal strike, dropping the hilt into his other hand to continue the movement - the man was intent on his sword hand and the fact he had so easily switched hands mid-strike seemed to surprise him. But now before the blade smashed into his head by Ryuu's other hand - effectively knocking him out and possibly concussing him. Turning to the man with tonfas, Ryuu casually gave him an arrogant smirk. "You wanna try now? By all means, do try. I could use a good work out," he started rather casually bringing up the blade to parry his blow before he hopped carefully back to behind back-to-back wit Vico. "We asked for it didn't we?" he chirped rather pleasantly, a bright smile crossing his features. It was one of the things he didn't share with his grandfather - and that was a love of the fight. Ryuu then did the oddest thing, which confusing the tonfa-wielder and that was release the sword from his grip. Only to suddenly find it smashing into his stomach when Ryuu's right foot connected with the bottom of the hilt. He clutched his stomach, sinking to his knees, gasping from breath as Ryuu casually moved passed him to retrieve the weapon from the ground [/style]

That sword style Ryuu used seemed kind of familiar, but where did he see it...? However, he didn't have much time to think about it as the man with steel knuckled gloves lunged at Vico with a right hook. Vico just smirked and crouched as he delivered a kick to the man's shins, which caused him to stumble back a little. Vico gave no time for the man to recover as he leaped from his crouched position, straight to the man, and landed a solid blow to his chest, making the poor yakuza land on the floor to skid across the pavement a few feet before stopping. He backpedaled a few steps and was back to back with Ryuu. All he could do was grin happily as he kept an eye on the last yakuza person with the brass knuckles. "I guess so. It would've been better if there were at least ten though." Just as Ryuu released his grip, Vico went into a boxing stance before he haphazardly closed in on the last yakuza member, hopping and sliding across the pavement. By the time the last remaining yakuza tried to counterattack, Vico was already inches away from his face with a fist already in contact with his gut. The man's eyes popped out for a moment when the jab hit and he soon passed out when Vico pulled away the fist and walked back to Ryuu. Vico blinked as he saw the guy with tonfas on the ground with Ryuu retrieving his sword. He stuck his knuckles back into his vest and stretched as he walked towards Ryuu. "Done already? That was too easy..." Then, another bouncer came to the front to see five guys with weapons on the ground. Hearing the footsteps, Vico turned around to see the bouncer and smiled. "Oh, good timing. Ryuu and I just took care of some troublemakers. Mind calling the police to take them away? We're gonna take a little break." Vico patted Ryuu on the shoulder and motioned him to come inside the night club. Inside the club, there weren't a lot of people as it was too early for most people to come in. Vico went through a door and appeared again on the bartender's side of the bar. He waited for Ryuu to sit down and took out a glass, scooping out some ice and pouring in ginger ale as he spoke. "So Ryuu, how about we talk for a bit? We never really get the chance to socialize a lot." He slid the glass over to Ryuu and put an arm across the table. "Those moves were awesome, Ryuu. I think I saw them somewhere before, but I can't remember where... Anyway, you might see me as crazy for thinking this, but are you a mafioso?" Vico lifted his arm off the table and took a glass and began polishing it with a cloth as he continued to speak. "I'm not really a hitman or a mafioso, but I do have the power of flames, which a lot of mafias seem to have." To prove his point, he put down the glass and cloth and quietly snapped his fingers, creating a small Rain flame on his thumb. [/style]

She loved what she did after all and never seemed to have a problem with it. She was a better people person than her grandfather was and he was sure to let her know that when she first said she wanted to be a teacher. She also had more patience than he did when it came to other people. She wouldn't admit it out loud but she liked to credit that to her childhood friend for that. He was 5 years younger than her after all and kind of a knuckle head in her opinion. She had to be patient to deal with him right? So why was she driving to the night club that he worked at to have a break? It wasn't liked she even liked alcohol all that much anyway but she didn't have to drink if she didn't want to. It was just the only night club she could think of and her body kind of started driving on its own. She didn't really put too much thought into it even with how smart she was and just went where it led her. She was pretty sure she hadn't seen Ryuu in a while anyway so it wouldn't be any harm to go see him. He was like her best friend so it wasn't like it was a bad thing or anything. Silvia had tired her best to not dress up besides it wasn't really something she was known for. Not unless she needed to do something familia related or she had some important school thing to attend to. She had decided to wear some of her casual clothes since she was so used to wearing decent clothing to teach in. She had pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and a shirt that showed off what assets she had with a v-neck line. She had also taken to put on a pair of boots she had for style reasons with heels and did nothing with her hair but brush it. Make up was something she didn't really go for but a tiny bit of gloss for her lips would never be a problem. She wasn't even sure why she was going this far. It wasn't like she was trying to impress anyone. It wasn't all that long of a drive over to the night club in question and the traffic had been little problem as well. She pulled into the parking lot of said club and parked her car before getting out locking her car as she did so. She would appear normal to those around her but she wasn't without her ability to fight back. Her special brass knuckles were packed away in the purse she was carrying and her two flame boxes were tucked away in it as well. .She walked up to the front of the night club and flashing the bouncer her id. She was let in with little hesitation but she was questioning why Ryuu hadn't been standing out there. Silvia had missed the party that had happened not that long before she had showed up. If she had gotten there as it was happening she probably would have flipped her lid and punched one of the yakuza. She was usually good with handling those kinds of situations especially when people she knew were involved but it wasn't like Ryuu couldn't handle himself; he was a big boy. She found herself inside the night club that had yet to meet a crowd since it was still early. She looked about and decided to sit up at the bar. It might have been because she had noticed the long mane of blue hair that was attached to a male figure sitting there. She walked over to the bar and pulled on his hair a little; it was sure to make him a little mad. "Isn't it a little pointless for the bouncer to be inside?" Silvia said in greeting to her friend as she sat next to him. 676 words ♠ Vico&Ryuu ♠ That should get his attention...

That moment in between gave him time to wipe the wooden blade upon one of the fallen Yakuza's shirts before letting out a soft sigh. "Wish there'd been a few more of them..." or if they at least used flames so he'd have some sort of challenge in them...but he left that one unvoiced. "I didn't even break a sweat," he seemed to lament this fact a little bit as he walked into the club after Vico, nodding his thanks to the bouncer who would replace him for the time being. There were usually two bouncers on call at all times. Taking a seat and putting his wooden sword on the counter, Ryuu took the glass of ginger ale and was about to take a sip of it when Vico asked him a terribly blunt question - he almost choked on the little bit of soda he'd gotten done his thrown. "Oh uhnn...that...is a very...interesting question, Vico," Ryuu stated, trying to think of something to say about it. "Well, looks like cat's out of the bag - yeah. I am. Rain guardian for the Guardando Vetro family - and that sword style I use runs in the Yamamoto family - surprised you didn't note the similar surname to Takeshi Yamamoto of the Vongola to my surname," Ryuu commented, stretching his arms slightly. "It's the Sigure Soen Ryu style." For a moment, he thought about mentioning why he wasn't continuing the family line of being involved with the Vongola, but decided not to. He would really not rather not talk about it, especially considering how persistent the current boss was when it concerned his rejection of the rain guardian position. He was about to question the other in turn when the slightest of tugs came to his hair...so he tilted his head back to get a look at who was doing the tugging and blinked at her from that position. "Silvia? Why...uh...I'm taking a break right now...considering a group of Yakuza decided to make trouble so I kicked their asses...uh...Vico helped...this is Vico by the way, I work with him..."

"Wow, not even gonna try to hide it? Can't say I've heard much of that family, but I did have my fair share of suspicions. Then again, Yamamoto's a common last name, isn't it? I knew a few Yamamotos back at high school." He took a napkin and placed it in front of Ryuu, where slight drops of ginger ale fell before continuing to speak. "Sigure Soen Ryu? No wonder it looked familiar. Maybe you can teach me some of that later." Just as Vico was about to pick up another glass to wash, he quirked an eyebrow when a woman tugged on Ryuu's hair. She was good looking, but looked slightly older than girls around his age. And Ryuu told her about the yakuza incident. She must be good friends with him and maybe even a mafioso like him too. Whatever it was, Vico shoved it out of his mind and smiled. He needed money to repair his busted-up car and he's depending on the tips he gets as a bartender to fix it. "Hey.

With the blinking that came after he realized who it was, it almost gave her the impression that he surprised to see her. She didn't mind if she had surprised him by showing up at the bar that he worked at. She'd only mind if he had an issue with her being there in the first place. No that'd just irritate her if it did bug him. He should want to see her since they were friends! She listened to what he said in response to what she had said to him in greeting about him being inside.She huffed at the manner that he said her name in as if he was questioning her presence! It seemed that his excuse for being inside was placed on him dealing with a bunch of yakuza. It was his job to beat up the more troublesome patrons to keep the peace. She believed that he would be able to easily handle them since it was Ryuu and he did have the skills to do so. She was probably the only one besides his mother and grandfather that knew his potential and that same went with him when it came to her. He had help when it came to dealing with the yakuza members, which sounded a bit odd but maybe she was giving him too much credit. Yeah, she probably did besides why would he want to go around showing off his skills anyway. When he introduced the bartender to her, she glanced over at him and gave a half smile but looked back at Ryuu. She was examining him as of right now looking him over to make sure he hadn't gotten hurt when dealing with those guys. She was protective when it came to her friends after all especially Ryuu was he was her number one friend for sure. "You're always in the middle of something, Ryuu. I thought you knew better than that. Attention isn't something you should be grabbing remember?" Silvia said responding about the yakuza he had fought with his coworker. That was a typical response from Silvia though as she was cautious in some manners and aspects. She didn't like people knowing about her connections with the mafia and kept it on the lowdown about her fighting abilities. Ryuu didn't have the same problem as her though since he did practice swordplay. It was easy to just shrug that off of having been in kendo, which he had been anyway. She turned her attention back to the bartender as he addressed her as 'hey', which made her go into teacher mode. If she wasn't a teacher then she wouldn't be so set on correcting someone when they talked to her. The lack of respect is what bugged her about it though. As a person who depended on tips for most of his pay he sure spoke to customers in an ill mannered way. "My name isn't hey and that's not how you should greet a customer. There should be more respect especially if you expect to get a tip from them. Miss is how I should be addressed. Try again." Silvia said looking at him with a fierce look in her eye as she corrected him as well as lectured him; she couldn't help it. 569 words ♠ Vico&Ryuu ♠ Oops teacher Silvia

If Vico tried anything, Ryuu was fairly certain he'd be able to handle himself anyway. Besides, it wasn't like he'd given away that much. Besides, he was kind of hoping that Vico would try to use this information against him and try to attack him - he was itching for a good fight...and not the one he just had. It was boring and dull. "Meh - I'm not worried about what you know. And I didn't give you that much, anyway." Ryuu stated easily. His attention was mostly on Silvia now and he promptly answered her thoughts, obviously very well-versed in some of Silvia's thought processes. "I wasn't expecting to see you here, 'Via. Not that I'm not glad to see you, of course. I was just confused, usually don't see you around here...but it is nice to see you," Ryuu stated, glancing away from the woman almost awkwardly for a brief moment before looking towards Vico. Ryuu stifled a laugh as Silvia began to lecture Vico the bartender. He had to sort of agree with her...she was a stranger to him at the moment. While some bartenders tended to informally talk with their customers, they should always remain formal and polite with potential customers. It was just common knowledge...but he had to point it out, after all. "That's just like you, 'Via," Ryuu commented with a slight smile towards the woman. "Vico, I would listen to her if I were you," he drawled, almost teasingly. [/style]

He was always used to being all chummy with others, even with strangers. His other patrons never seemed to mind and tip him well. Hell, some were at least twice his age. He just scratched his head and sighed before he made a polite bow a butler would do. "Pardon me, signora, for my rudeness. Would you fancy a drink?" He stood up straight again when a man sat a few seats away from him. Vico turned to look around for other bartenders, but there was only one and he was busy. He frowned and sighed as he bowed shortly to Silvia. "Sorry, but excuse me for a sec'..." When Vico moved over to the other person, a big grin formed on his face. "Hey there! I take it you want the usual?" The man grinned back and nodded as Vico scooped up ice into a shaker and poured in vodka, rum, and pineapple juice into the same shaker. He capped it and shook vigorously for a couple of seconds before taking out a martini glass and pouring the mixture into the glass. After that, he put away the shaker and slid the glass to the man as he placed a generous tip on the table. Vico looked at it and bowed deeply to the man before taking the tip and walking back over to Silvia. "I'm really sorry about that, umm... Silvia, right? Most of the bartenders don't really come this early. Now, would you like anything to drink?" [/style]

It wasn't like she was really looking for answer to it anyway. That question had been meant as more of a rhetorical one instead. It wasn't like he had really answered the question anyway. It was more like he couldn't make up his mind whether it was nice to see her or not. Silvia was just gonna assume that he thought it was nice to see her since he had pretty much said it twice. She had just surprised him by showing up at the night club he worked at. There was really no harm in that but he should really chill out a bit more. It was almost like he was a bit jittery with her being around. She was just gonna ignore it though since she was sure he didn't mean anything by it. Unless he was hopped up on some drug but she hoped that she'd be able to tell the difference between the two. "Thanks... I think.That was really hard to interpret." Silvia said in response to what he had said. " Are you sure college is teaching you anything? I think your grandpa's genes are kicking in. You know that if you need help with anything school wise you can ask me right? Remember that." She said going on in a some what rant but really it was her concern for him showing up. She ignored the stifled laughter she heard come from Ryuu's direction when she started to lecture the bartender. She didn't mean any harm as that was how she normally was. If there was something that bugged her then you better believe she was going to point it out. Ryuu got plenty of lectures from her in the past and even now. She nodded once like she approved of the bartender calling her miss although in Italian but she couldn't help but think the bows was him being sarcastic. She handled her fair share of sarcastic little shits after all so she thought she was a pretty good judge of it. She turned her attention back to Ryuu when Vico went to bother with another customer for a few seconds. "Was he being sarcastic? I'm pretty sure he was." Silvia asked him with before hearing his comment about her. "Hey! What do you mean that that's just like me?! That's just rude, Ryuu!" She continued with a huff of impatience shooting him a look as she folded her arms across her chest. Silvia turned her attention back to the bartender when she noticed her had came back. It made her feel a little better when Ryuu told him he should listen to her. That's right she was someone that should be listened to. She was fine with him addressing her as Silvia but only slightly since she knew his name too. She paused a moment and thought about what she might like to drink. She knew she didn't want anything that was alcoholic since she did have papers to grade when she went home. Maybe she'd drag Ryuu along to help him with his school work. She recalled Vico asking if she might like a Shirley Temple and decided that that sounded like it would be fine since she knew it was nonalcoholic. "Ya' know that Shirley Temple sounds good. I think I'll have that." Silvia replied with a small smile glad he was using manners. "And I'll pay for whatever Ryuu is drinking too. He needs his money after all." She continued just so Vico would know for future reference. 596 words ♠ Vico&Ryuu ♠ Silvia is oblivious okay.

He had really screwed that one up. Silvia wasn't sure if he really was happy to see her or not! He almost wanted to punch himself...but that wouldn't have done anything at all. Idly running his fingers along the wooden blade of his wooden sword to clear his moment he almost didn't Silvia's next question and her statement. "College is teaching me just fine. I don't go as often now that I have an internship at a sports rehab clinic," Ryuu answered easily and the looked rather insulted a moment later. "Just what are you implying about my grandfather - while I'm sure it's correct, I assure you the only genes I've taken from him after my swordsman skills at the moment," he assured her confidently with a slight chuckle about it. "Although, now I can skip school and you won't know about it and not drag me by the ear to class," Ryuu stated cheerfully, then fell silent - deciding that it probably wasn't the smartest thing in the world to say to a teacher of all people. Of course, it was likely that he was teasing her about that...or was he? Ryuu stayed silent while Silvia ordered her Shirley Temple, but he then opened his mouth to protest the thought of her buying his drink. "You don't need to pay - besides, Vico gave me the impression that it was on the house," Ryuu stated, giving Vico a look. "Isn't that right, Vico?" he drawled with a pleasant smile. It was true. He had been under the impression that he was getting a free drink before he went back to work. [/style]

It seemed these two are good friends. By the time he came back, Ryuu was talking about how he could skip whenever he wanted, which made Vico chuckle. "She dragged you by the ear? You? That's actually really funny." He took out a glass for the Shirley Temple and scooped some ice in it before hearing Silvia's decision. If she wasn't gonna have it, he may as well have one for himself. After hearing Silvia's decision, he nodded and poured in some grenadine into the ice. As he slowly poured in sprite and stirred the drink, he looked at Ryuu and blinked. A small smirk formed on his lips as he filled up the glass. "On the house? What gave you that idea?" He put a cherry on top and slid the glass over to Silvia and waited for Ryuu's reaction before chuckling some more. "Just kidding. 'Course it's on the house, Ryuu. Customers have to pay, not employees. But since you're Ryuu's friend, I'll let this drink be on the house. Just don't let my boss know." Vico pat his hands on a cloth and took a glance around the area. All the other customers were busy doing their own things and the other bartender was still busy. He motioned Ryuu to lean closer to him as used his hand to block his mouth from Silvia and whispered. "Hey, is she part of the mafia too?" [/style]

It only caused him to be even more on edge. Fingers grasped at the inside of his hoodie like straws, he was far under-dressed and he didn’t want to draw attention to himself. Hell he just stopped running down the buzzing Japanese street to be-line it to a night club. Not to mention one he had barely heard of before, outside of some of his dad’s friends. Apparently this was a pretty popular place. Through the darkened lenses of his sunglasses Jack stalked up to the bouncer with the utmost confidence. The worst that could happen would be he got shoved off for ‘looking too young’ even if that was Jack could force his way in. He just wanted to be unknown for just a night, so he had to get away from home. A candidate, or a soldier but never a son while he was in the company of his parents—there was always that missing ingredient. However, it was because of this that the relationship was always so strained and why he has always been so rebellious. A deft flick of his wrist, and the billfold dropped the flap that held the identification (I.D) card. Scrupulously the bouncer looked at the card, then back to Jack, then back to the card a second time. “Don’t got all day mate, there’s a drink calling my name, and she says she misses me.” Jack added a bit of an inflection on the words to sound like his mother, cockney and damn proud of it. Just as quickly Jack flipped the I.D back into the billfold and then into his pocket, HE decided when it was enough time spent looking at it. Which the bouncer didn’t really appreciate. Jack’s fault became more apparent when the Bouncer put his hands on either side of Jack’s hoodie—which didn’t go over too well. “Bollocks, do ya know who I am mate?’ just squeeze a bit more of mum in there, he told himself. Probably for the best, it helped keep the persona incognito. INTERIOR – NIGHT CLUB The door buckled with a splintering crash that made the DJ stop spinning the records, and the denizens look around confused. From the debris the body of the bouncer bounded beautiful off of table tops until it slammed on the floor. “And stay out!” Jack’s voice rang out a bit, pointing furiously at the floored foe. Then he realized that people started to stare, there goes being anonymous. Jack pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose casually walking to the bar like nothing happened. Course it was only a matter of time before someone tried to get his recount of the situation, or to ‘sort’ him out. “Guinness.” One hand propped up his head, resting his chin in the center. Clouded lenses let him stare eerily at the guy and gal on the opposite side. [/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;]TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]
