Bonten was currently in their meeting room back in Tokyo,discussing the incident that occured in Osaka.

"Now why would the puppet killer choose to shoot their targets when their signature way of killing their victims is by mutilating and sewing them back up?"Takeomi asked the question everyone was curious to find an answer for.

"She wasn't probably even the puppet killer.Why would the real killer come to a popular casino full of people and press anyway?It doesn't make any sense."Sanzu spoke.

"Probably she was just sent by the puppet killer to pose as the actual puppet killer even tho she isn't the real puppet killer."Sasha theorized.Everyone looked at her with a puzzled look.Mikey sighed and rubbed his temples.

"Did you examined the rose?"He turned to Kakucho who nodded.

"Yes,and there weren't any finger prints.They aren't dumb,it seems."-Kakucho

Mikey nodded and turned to Takeomi."Do we have any other leads?"

"No."Takeomi shook his head."Nothing."

Mikey sighed again and looked at the empty seat between Ran and Sasha."How is Y/n?"He locked eyes with Sasha first and then with Ran.

"She is in her room."Ran informed.

"In the shower,actually.She was in there ever since we came back."Sasha corrected.

That made the Bonten men widen their eyes.

"How do you know that?"-Ran

"Is she okay?"-Rindou

"What is she doing there for so long?"-Kokonoi

"What if she is blaming herself for what happened?"-Kakucho

"What if she is crying?"-Sanzu

They all asked at once,which made Sasha sigh and roll her eyes."I checked up on her before the meeting started.Even tho she didn't let it show,she was most probably blaming herself for Alex's death and after I left,I heard sobs,so yes,she is crying."She answered all the questions and the men all widened their eyes.

"Why didn't anyone check up on her?"Mikey glared at all of them one by one.

"You called us in a meeting."Sasha deadpanned.

Mikey stared at her blankly."Why didn't you tell me about her condition?"

"You never asked."Sasha answered,annoyance clear in her tone.

"It's Y/n we are talking about.If something is wrong with her,then I don't need to ask you to tell me!"Mikey almost raised his voice,a stern,mad look on his face.

"Didnt know you suddenly cared about her.You barely bothered to check up on her up until now,so what's with the sudden concern?"Sasha calmly asked,giving Mikey the same stern look he gave her."All the way back to Tokyo from Osaka you only cared about whatever mission you assigned one of Bonten's men,but didn't bat an eye at how Y/n was trying to keep herself from breaking down.She was shaking ever since we left the casino,but of course you wouldn't know that.You didn't even think anything was wrong with her.You didn't even bother asking her if she was ok when we met at the airport,even tho you most probably heard her tone when she announced that the rose was from the puppet killer.You don't give a flying fuck about her,so why should I tell you how she is?Ask Ran."

She pointed sharply at ran who flinched at the mention of his name.

"He saw how scared she was and how traumatized she looked.He tried to talk and calm her down,but she just acted as if she was fine all the way.She doesn't want to worry any of us.Do you even know that?Huh?"Sasha looked steenly at him.

"Shut up."Mikey said lowly.

Sasha scoffed."Hmpf.Why?Why should I shut up,Mikey,hm?I have always kept my mouth shut ever since I joined Bonten.As a leader,I respected and looked up to you.I am giving you weird ass nicknames and I prank you because I see you as a friend,as a brother even.And even if from the outside it looks like I don't stand any of you,I actually fucking care about you."Sasha's eyes were teary."Why?Because you actually gave me a place to stay and food to eat when I had none.You helped me get revenge on the shits that killed my friends,"She gulped"And even tho you all are annoying the shit out of me,I actually enjoy it,as weird as it sounds.I have fun being around all of you.Seeing you getting hurt hurts me too.I just can't show you how I truly feel because I know what you truly think about me.You think I am an ungrateful annoying slut who only wants money and food,which is partially true.But in that night,when you helped us escape the police,took me and my friends in your base and proposed to us to be part of the gang,I was actually excited.I admired you and thought how cool you were and how fun it would be to be part of Tokyo Manji Gang."

"Stop that."Mikey said through gritted teeth.

Sasha scoffed and looked away,her lip quivering.

"Thats all you ever did,Mikey.You only gave orders.Ever since I met you and up until now,you are the same.Only giving orders,putting on this stern and cold face and never caring about anyone and anything."She swallowed and got up,going towards he door.

"Sash..."Ran mumbled and she chuckled.

"You haven't called me like that for years."She turned to Sanzu."Oi!Bubblegum boy!Ill go check up on Y/n and then we're going on a murder spree like we used to."She walked out the door and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall with the back of her hand.

Sasha closed the door behind her and everyone slowly turned to face Mikey,who was just staring blankly.

"Uhm...Mikey...Do you...Need anything else or is the meeting finished?"Mochi asked and Mikey looked at him deadpanned.

It was silent for a while until he decided to answer.

"You're dismissed."
