Ties that bind

[Kililia]

Keiko had hoped she allow see other men and not bed him again.
She fekt a shiver run down her spine as she heard the warning, it was clear he will not allow to other man ever touch his property*
She glanced at him:" even if it's a marriage of convenience?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

"If that is what you want to see it as. I see it as a necessity to save both our families. It is not just a convenient method to bind our houses together."

Truth be told, ever since he had noticed her and started to look into her life outside of her family home, he had liked her. One thing he did not expect from her, was this vehement resistance to him. In a way he understood her reaction, but he believed that in time, she would come to see that he was not such a bad option.

 

[Kililia]

She looked at him:" its easy for men to fuck without emotion. But we women can't... I dont love you..."

She look away wondering of their future:" at worse after the war is settled, we can divorce"

 

[TertiusHuman]

"Oh, I differ with you on that statement. I know of a lot of women who seduce and fuck men or let themselves get fucked and walk away with his money or in most cases involving this work, his life."

"And once we are bound together before the gods, only death will separate us."

 

[Kililia]

"Trust me, that is not my style, I can't have sex with someone I do not love" She glared at him:" that's ridiculous when we can just divorce.... its not a big deal...."

She looked back at him:" you can have lovers to help ya through a sexless marriage and when I divorce. You can simply marry a woman you love"

Kento receive a text confirming the Yakuza doctor will stop by to examine her hymen to fill contract. Her father accepted Kento consuming the union once doctor sign documents before the ceremonial wedding due to urgency avoid a war.

He receive another interesting v text of his right hand saying g his fiance clients was the enemy that killed his dad and known to be interested in Keiko but no proof they more than acquaintance.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He turns his head to look at her, "That is a dishonor I will not bear. To promise fidelity before the gods and then not keep my word? I will never do that. I will rather die than bring that dishonor to myself and my family."

He took a breath to calm himself, "And if the marriage gets dissolved, who says that it will not relaunch the war that it had averted?"

His phone sounded and he rolled over to look at the screen, reading the messages as they came in, he frowned at the last one, his mind racing as he thought about the implications that Keiko could know the enemy. He responded to the text, telling Han to keep this between them for now.

 

[Kililia]

She spun around annoyed:" I seriously don't get you...how can you be so old fashion...." He was so frustrating:" don't you understand how hard this is for me? I never even dated before, you ruined my life....how am I suppose be a wife and mom when I never been a girlfriend..."

 

[TertiusHuman]

He still had his back to her, he placed his phone on the bedstand and turned to look at her

"Did you look at the tattoo Keiko? Did you look closely? I can bet that you did not. You did not see the scars underneath it. My adherence to our old customs did not come willingly, but now that I am older, I understand the need for them. Even though we are living in a modern world, it is no excuse to throw away what made us the proud people we are today."

He rested his head on his hand as he looked at her back turned towards him, "It is not that difficult. Maybe it will be for you as long as you keep fighting against me, but you will see, it does not have to be this hard."

 

[Kililia]

She sat up in the bed frustrated;" how can you say that after you force yourself on me! To me, your the worse... I always dreamed it be with...." She stop herself from naming the man she actually loved. She spun around and gave her back to him before dropping back in bed. It was obvious even to him, she might have someone in her life either interess or secret boyfriend*

 

[TertiusHuman]

He lay back down on his back,

"Then you will have to find a way to kill me. That way my family will be destroyed, your family will be next and you can go live freely with this man you truly love and can't wait to be with."

 

[Kililia]

She glared at him:" your a jerk! As if I waste my life in jail to murder you! Then find yourself lovers cause i refuse to have kids...I rather have dogs...I am not gonna be with a man that will spend most of his life in jail fucking other guys"

 

[TertiusHuman]

"I hope I did not hear you say that just now."

His voice was quiet and filled with ice, his eyes were closed

"I hope for your part, I did not just hear you say what I think I just heard you say."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko gulped as he replied: "I hope for your part, I did not just hear you say what I think I just heard you say." knew she crossed a line with him and realize she could not be allowed to lash out at him.

She paled knowing by his body language that he was fuming: " ...." *She froze and hesitating to reply * " ...you....didn't?...." She turn to him" Kento, I ...don't belong in your world....even if i accepted be your wife, I don't wanna raise them in this environment... Can't you quit then?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

"Why would I run away from my responsibilities like you?"

He opened his eyes and looked at her, she could see his anger reflecting in his hard stare

"Run away to what? Live with a woman who doesn't want or love me, who will get rid of me through a court system and leave me with nothing?"

His hand slid from underneath his head and balled into a fist, looking like he was going to strike out at her, but instead, he reached out and ran his fingers gently through her hair, even though they trembled with suppressed rage.

"Never." His voice was soft, icy and hard.

 

[Kililia]

Keiki frozen for a moment as she saw his eyes filled with rage. It was true, she was trying to run away from it all as it's responsibility. She realized he was right that she gave him nothing to run back to as she made it clear, she did not want him in her life.

She winced as she expected him to strike her and was surprised at his gentleness. For once she felt bad and realized she was being childish about the whole matter. If she had enough, she would of ran away or made attempts none stop. But here she was in bed with her fiance and had made out with him after he severally punished her anally without mercy.

She hesitated:" I'm sorry,Kento...your right, I been dedicated myself to run away from our world.... unlike you, I am unable take the weight of such a heavy responsibility. Not everyone can be as strong as you Kento.... that's why I can't be with you and have a family...I'm not strong enough.."

 

[TertiusHuman]

"I am not strong Keiko."

He turned over onto his stomach, "I was running my own business, apart from the family, away from the Yakuza. I know that my father had some influence in keeping me safe, but I did not take from the families and I gave to them. I was not a threat. I was saving up to move away, my father was young and strong, there would be no reason for me to remain and take over the business from him for many more years. In a way, I was preparing to run away, much like you."

He sighed, "And then they killed him."

He glanced at her, "People you know. Clients of yours."

 

[Kililia]

She cursed under her breathe as she did not want to get involve into this world of crime. She realized that they were much the same except he was dragged in their world by murder as she was by marriage.

She sighed:" I know they are my clients, I overheard father name the men....Kento, I can't fix the past but I can give you something priceless..." * she sit up and looked at him:" you better not reveal the source.... when they joined my side business... I used my...skills to infiltrate their bank accounts....I can give it all to you just as I can wipe their cash out....which would you like and what are you willing to give me in return?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He looked at her as she sat upright, he really liked watching her naked body move.

"The money in the banks are not the real money, if you want to hit them, you need to hit the money that is not on the books or in the banks."

He realized that she had told him something about herself that he had not known, she was an experienced hacker, which was a very impressive feat in the modern-day and age. It could be such a useful skill to have if she only would help him and not always try to work against him.

"You are trying to bribe me Keiko. What is it that you want? Even though the crashing of their bank accounts will only be a minor inconvenience to them."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko smirked at him: " you think I only hacked their bank account? I know all their dirty secrets...from stealing from their own clan to their fetishes...hell I had their cars track, etc... after all they are my family rival and I made damn sure if they hurt my family. I will personally rip their world apart from the in the inside....I know where their none declare or bank.... their true cash....I never attack their source cause they gave me no reason... Hell I can hand it to you...."

She wondered what he would give, in exchange for it. Her request were always refused: " what are you willing to give me in exchange is the question....? Call it whatever you want, I don't care.... as long you give me something as valuable in exchange"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He thought about it, that she could be a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. If he could wield it, he could not only destroy his enemies and keep his family safe, he could become strong enough for nobody to oppose him, to bring true safety to the families, by destroying all opposed him.

But he was also a realist, he knew that she would never do that, never work for him. He turned his head from her, looking at the wall, "By now I know what you want. I can't give it to you."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko hated how he would not budge of his decision to claim her as his woman: " Kento! I am offering you the key to destroy , your enemies! You be feared by all the clans, they would get in line....yet you seriously want to keep me as your wife? WHY!? You can have any woman in the world, I am nothing special....We both know, I am meaningless to you and always be a tool and never a wife or a proper Yakuza wife worthy of your bloodline! Give me one good reason, why you would give this chance up to rule the clans ?!"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He looked up at her, "Because if I use this information once, it will be gone. You want your freedom and for me to destroy this one enemy, I will give my future enemies a way to destroy me. It would be like playing your Ace card when you can hold it for when you really need it."

He smiled slowly, pushing himself up, folding his knees underneath him to sit on the bed in a kneeling position, "And since I can have any woman in the world, I choose you. If you truly decide to work with me, we can keep ourselves and our families safe. You have more worth than you will ever know."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko hated how he did not just selfishly took the information and let her free, it almost made her admire him. She glared angrily: " I be fine, I will always find ways to destroy my enemies..."

She gulped as he kneeled before her : " That is not funny..." *She looked up at him nervously: " Your such a stubborn man...what do you really want from me? For all you know, I could be infertile....or diseased or something..." *Trying to discourage him, nervous the way he looked at her...*

 

[TertiusHuman]

He shook his head, "You are not diseased, that much I know for sure. If you are infertile, then there is not much to do against it, but for now, you are the hope for peace. A peace that could bring the fall of those who seek to destroy us."

He rested his palms on his thighs, looking at her, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko sighed as he replied: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
She glared at him: "We both know, i can't refuse this marriage now...you already ruined me....and people will die...I just wished that you be reasonable and let me time to get know you before ...." *blushes* we...consummate the union..."
