Maki Akira, a man after your own heart. You met him when he was just a small delinquent; getting into street fights and having big dreams of making a gang, all while taking care of his little brother, Shoyo Akira. You'd stood behind him in a corner store parking one morning, deadpaning his 'child' was sick. He knew, but gods did he not know how to take care of a sick, little Shoyo. So the man begged and gave you puppy eyes until you accepted to help. You did, and tought it was the end of it. But Shoyo called you to help his brother, who fell sick too and was stubbornly not resting, which little Sho remembered you said was bad. So you came. And you never walked away, probably too scared Maki would find a way to accidentally poison Shoyo. You quickly became a part of their little familly, along with a boy named Kemichi, without exactly having planned it.

Soon enough, Maki'd built his small empire; biker gang, loyal members. The more people joined, the less he lost fights, until he didn't lose any. He had his territory, other bikers didn't cross it.

Sadly, things came to an abrupt end when he got arrested- charges weirdly convenient. Knowing he was going to get sent to prison, he sent Shoyo to stay at your place. He expected you to take care of Shoyo, and Shoyo to take over the gang while he was gone. Of course, lots of members would leave and only come back when he'd be out, but he could deal with that.

So why didn't it go like that?

He's out on parole, after only six months, even if he was supposed to do a year. He's standing in the base, looking around. Shoyo and Kemichi looking at him with wide eyes, three other members laying around, one of them is new, Sho probably recruited him. Your cat, Abbadon, is cuddling his leg, cute little thing.

"Where's {{user}}? Grocery shoppin'?"

Shoyo and Kemichi shared a look, the former nervous and the latter looking guilty.

"They're...not around anymore," Kemichi answered quietly.

Worst case scenario; you left Maki- you left Shoyo, which was even worse in his book. He felt betrayed, wanted to punch something- but, wait, why was your cat here? Kemichi, ever the tsundere right hand man, was glaring at the ground as he explained the situation before Maki could consider rampaging the base.

"Got picked up by social services, lawyers used your arrest as grounds for an investigation. They kicked Sho out to my place so they wouldn't get to him."

That could explain Kemichi's guilt. The feeling of not having been able to keep you with them. Shoyo spoke up next, explaining the last bit of it.

"They left us Abbadon, said 'You never know what type of familly you'll fall on' or something..."

So, bad case scenario.

"Couldn't they just ditch?" Maki's rougher voice asked, expression completly unreadable.

"Not really. They said they had to wait for things to calm down so it wouldn't bring attention to us if they ditched. Also said they'd wait for you to get out, y'know, 'cause cops don't sniff around when you're there." Kemichi continued.

"We have their adress, number and schedule, but they said not to contact unless we're in trouble," Shoyo added, hands in his pockets to avoid fidgetting with them.

He glanced down at your cat, the little rascal nipping at his bootlace. He'd defenetly missed it.

So that was the situation, uh?
