《Bad Habits {V2 Out now!}》Volume 2: Chapter 18: The Next Milestone

Rin’s eyes lightened up. The Orphan that was completely destroyed, was now turned into a mansion which looked a lot like the Orphan, but way more luxe. Rin walked slowly to the door and knocked.
The door opened up, her eyes lightened up again.
“It’s Rin, the place is clear.” Nokado said.
The others peeked through the hallway and pushed her in, then they quickly closed the door behind her and locked it.
“W- What is going on?” Rin asked.
Takumi peeked through the cough, as the others closed the curtains.
“Well… Ehm… It started kind of like this...” Takumi mumbled.
- - - - -
Nokado gave Takumi a fist bump.
“Yeah, the mansion is finished!” Nokado said, smiling.
“Indeed, but with this it means we don’t have maids anymore doing the rooms.” Takumi said.
“From now on, we need to clean the place ourselves!- ” Takumi stopped as Rikishi coughed out his drink.
“W- What the hell!?” Rikishi said.
“What, are you bad at cleaning?” Takumi asked.
“Well yeah, that too, but-” Rikishi slammed Today’s news article on the table.
“Loot Boxes are counted as gambling?” Takumi asked, reading the article out loud.
Rikishi, who was confused, looked at the article.
“Oops, wrong side.” Rikishi mumbled.
Rikishi turned the article.
Everyone’s eyes widened up.
The article said…
“Six Young Criminals rob 25 Million Yen, A Bounty of 1 Million Per Person has been confirmed.”
Takumi stuttered.
“W- What do we do now?” Takumi said.
“We’ll have to live in Colombia from now on.” Rikishi replied.
“Of course not, idiot!” Tado replied, as he let out a sigh.
“We could just hide ourselves, they don’t even know our faces.” Tado followed up.
“Eh? Looks like someone grew balls.” Nokado replied, grinning.
Tado’s eyes lightened up and his face turned red. He quickly placed back his surgical mask.

“I- I am sorry.” Tado replied.
“It’s fine, it was meant in a good way.” Nokado replied, shrugging.
“Anyway… What Tado said was right, from now on we should never put our guard down.” Ukato said, looking around.
Ukato suddenly pointed to Kuruka.
“Especially you!” Ukato suddenly said.
Kuruka was shocked, as he took a step back.
“W- What do you mean?” Kuruka asked, confused.
“You bought a suit worth of 100,000 Yen, idiot!” Ukato followed up.
The others turned to him.
“100,000 Yen!?” Rikishi shouted, shocked.
“I- I don’t know what you’re talking about...” Kuruka mumbled, nervous, trying to laugh it off.
“Oi, don’t laugh it off!” Ukato said.
Takumi pulled his hand up.
“It’s okay...” Takumi said.
The others turned to him.
“... I mean, I bought one for 250,000 Yen, so-”
“WHAT THE HELL!?”
- - - - -
“That’s kind of how it went, so yeah.” Takumi said.
Rin was shocked about the bounty.
“So, what should we do now?” Rin asked.
“For the time now, I don’t know…” Takumi said.
“... But I have something in mind that could work.” Takumi followed up.
“It won’t matter, for the time being we could just have some fun.” Rikishi said, smiling.
Rin instantly noticed something about them.
As if they all changed their personality with each other…
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Their eyes widened up.
“S- Shit… That might be the cops.” Nokado said, scared.
“Don’t be ridiculous, it probably is something else...” Kuruka said.
“Like what?” Nokado asked.
“I don’t know… Maybe we didn’t park the car properly?” Kuruka asked, opening the door.
He looked, but saw no one in front of him.
“...Eh?” Kuruka said, confused.
Suddenly he heard someone having pain underneath him, as he slowly looked down.
His eyes widened up.

“Kuruka who is it?” Nokado asked.
Kuruka walked up with someone on his shoulders, their eyes widened up.
It was the girl from the Byakuya Clan, named Akane. She had wounds all over her body, and two bullet shots on her right leg.
“Oi, isn’t that...” Nokado mumbled.
“Yeah… It’s the leader from the Byakuya clan.” Takumi said.
“What happened to her? And why is she beaten to death?” Rikishi asked.
“Not to death, she is unconcious...” Kuruka said, laying her down on the couch.
“...We should take care of her.” Kuruka followed up.
“T- Take care of her?” Rikishi asked.
“I hope you remembered she tried to kill us...” Rikishi explained.
“... And she won’t hesitate stabbing us in the back for a million Yen.” Rikishi followed up.
“But she might have answers for us, we have to take the risk.” Kuruka replied.
“You’re right...” Ukato said.
“...Rin?” Takumi asked.
“Y- Yes, Takumi?” Rin asked.
“Could you, come with me for a moment?” Takumi asked, smiling.
“O- Oh… Sure.” Rin said, as they both walked through the front door.
Tado could instantly notice that something was off.
They both stood outside, looking at each other.
“...Rin.” Takumi said.
“Yeah-”
“You know what I am going to say.” Takumi interrupted her.
“N- No… I don’t.” Rin replied.
Takumi took a deep breath, as he looked her in the eye.
“I want you...”
Her eyes widened up.
“...To stay away from us.”
Rin’s eyes were in shock.
“W- Why would I?” Rin asked.
“Why? Because we are wanted, I don’t want to bring you in danger-”
Rin grabbed his hand.
“I won’t leave.” Rin said.
“Rin, you can’t stay here.” Takumi replied, cold.
Takumi looked back inside, then back to her.
She pulled her hand away.
“Let go of me and leave.” Takumi said, again.
Rin grabbed his hand once more.
“I said I won’t.” Rin said, frustrated.
“Man, you’re annoying as hell!” Takumi shouted, pulling her hand away.
He slowly walked back to the door.
The others walked out, but Kuruka stayed with Akane.
“Leave, before you get killed by someone.” Takumi shouted.
“Why, don’t you trust me?!” Rin shouted back.
“I do, but it’s too dangerous for you to be here.” Takumi said.
“Well, you just don’t get it… You think you are a criminal, but you aren’t.” Rin said.
“What has that to do with this? Just leave...” Takumi replied.
“Fine… I’ll leave...” Rin mumbled.
“... Just like how Ryan and Anne left, because of you!” She screamed, and then walked off.
Takumi’s eyes widened up, as he slowly turned.
“You son of a-”
Ukato grabbed him by his shoulder, so he stopped turning.
The others looked at him. Takumi let out a sigh.
The door suddenly bursted open, Kuruka ran out of the door.
“G- Guys, she is awake!” Kuruka shouted.
The others looked at each other, and then ran back inside…

- 15:23 -
A group of five people walked out of the car.
“Daniele, we made it to Tokyo.” One of them said, grinning.
“Yeah… We did.” The man named Daniele replied.
“But, we aren’t the first one’s, don’t get too happy.” Daniele followed up.
“We are not here for a vacation, but for a ‘business meeting’.” Daniele said, finishing his small speech.
“When you say it like that it sounds like something really boring.” The man replied, letting out a sigh.
“Don’t worry, it’s gonna be far more than boring.” Daniele said, grinning…

The Ocean Flame Palace Host
Schedule: I am officially going on an indefinite hiatus. Sorry to all readers but I just don't have any more ideas. Hai Yun is the youngest Divine Rank Alchemist on the Scarlet Flame continent. He was an orphan picked up by a wandering Alchemist Grand master and raised in the Crystal Ocean Alchemy Sect. As he soon got bored of refining other people’s recipes, he started creating his own. One such recipe was of an elixir that can allow one to retain their memories through reincarnation. He thought this heaven defying elixir could bring about a new golden age for alchemists, to let them keep all of their experience after death. However it only brings about a calamity as the other powers of the martial world immediately begin lusting after this divine object. They attack the Crystal Ocean Alchemy Sect en masse, razing it to the ground. To keep them from getting it, Hai Yun devours the Elixir and obliterates his body so they can never even find another trace of it in this world. However, in his reincarnation a series of very interesting things happen… Glossary: Wuxia Fantasies ***DISCLAIMER*** I do not own any of the artwork which was used in the book cover.

It’s not until a blossoming friendship is born after years of isolation that he must do everything he can to protect those who he has betrayed, and face his complicated past as dangerous circumstances rise in war torn Plod. ————————— This fiction is rated R. Nudity is present. Violence, profanity, trauma, suicide, mental illness, and disturbing elements are prevalent. Gore is described in graphic detail that may be disturbing. The story is very, very depressing. Do not read if you are sensitive by heavy subject matter, including themes of suicide. It is a tragedy, which means that it has dark and disturbing psychological content that is intended for a mature audience. Do not read the whole thing in one sitting, as it may be emotionally draining. Read in small sections. Do not read if you like happy, light novels. Read at your own risk. Haitian Creole and Jamaican Patois will be sprinkled in rarely from time to time. The opinions and thoughts of the characters are not mine. If you are sensitive to traumatic content, please do not read. Do not read if you are sensitive to mental illness, genocide, graphic violence, or the reality of war. I ask that while you critique this story, you do it in a respectful way. If anyone harrasses me/ tries to discourage me from writing, I will report you. All feedback, critique and suggestions are welcome; feel free to comment. I am trying to grow and improve my writing, so constructive criticism behind advanced negative reviews are appreciated. Due to the fact that I am a college student and working part time , some chapters may come a little later than usual. If anyone writes reviews that don’t have anything to help me improve the story and attack me, the author, for choosing to write about these dark themes, kindly please leave, because they should not even be reading, let alone be anywhere near anyone's fictions. I am also interested in any ideas people may have for the drafting process. In other words, if you want to tear apart my story, do it properly, please. Negative reviews that respectfully point out any plot holes, inconsistencies with my characters, or writing style are well appreciated. Anyone attacking me personally will be reported and blocked, especially as the fiction gets longer. I do not need negativity or harassment. For those who take the time out of their day to read and offer helpful feedback, I truly appreciate you all, and you are the best. You have been warned. Read at your own risk. Thank you.
