KIRIFUDA MAFIA: TERROR FROM THE PAST
Birthday Gift

Near Shadow Eye Island Yuki was venting her anger.

Whether it was hitting a tree or shouting, even the famous brand shirt he wore was now out of shape. The clothes were tattered and dirty because of the soil and blood.

Yuki did not care about the injuries he got from destroying the island. He only wanted to vent his anger at Shiro's brother.

While Captain Ryu can only watch from afar because he does not want to disturb Yuki. Those who already know Yuki must know that Yuki's emotions and anger are very big and can't just disappear.

Eventually he realizes that Yuki is not the main commander in Kirifuda, although Yuki looks more deserving and also controls many areas.

They're all mistaken. Yuki can not be without Shiro, Shiro plays many important roles in this organization, one of which is as a silencer of Yuki's anger. It can even be illustrated, if Shiro is his brain and heart while Yuki is his body.

'Then what if this organization loses its brain and heart?' Captain Ryu complained inwardly while looking at the island in the distance.

"What's the matter Captain Ryu?" Captain Aoki asked as he slowly approached Ryu.

"Kirifuda will get a very strong shock now. I don't even know what the fate of this organization is going to be." Captain Ryu replied with a heavy sigh.

"Did something happen on Niji Island?" Ask Captain Aoki curiously.

"Maybe I don't deserve to say this, but Alpha, he's Shiro's protector. Alpha says that Shiro did not allow Yuki to approach him. Even Shiro had expelled Yuki and did not want to think of her as a sister anymore." Ryu answered seriously.

"Why is it suddenly like that? Can't Shiro and Yuki not be separated?"

"Well, now Yuki is venting her anger. I'm sure, she must have felt very lost if Shiro had really kicked her out. I wish everything was back to how it used to be, when we're still on a lot of missions with them." Ryu said with great hope.

"We pray to God that everything will be better." Sahut Aoki and retorted a nod by Ryu. The two looked back at the island where Yuki was.

***

A month had passed from the expulsion. Now everything has calmed down again, even though Yuki has yet to return to Kirifuda's headquarters in the Capital City.

Are and Haruki had already returned to headquarters a few weeks before, finally they had only accompanied Shiro on Niji Island for 3 days. Shiro had also already explained the matter that was going on between him and Yuki.

After arriving at the headquarters, the two immediately informed the information they got from Niji Island to Ai, Aki, and Kurina. The three of them were of course very surprised by the problems they would face.

Captain Ryu has also informed the core members of Kirifuda that Commander Yuki is on his private island, under the supervision of both Kirifuda Squad Captains.

***

Meanwhile on Niji Island, Shiro and Alpha are making plans to pursue Harmonics.

Shiro is convinced that the accident he experienced, and the main donor of Dr.'s laboratory. Ichida is from the Harmonics Organization.

Shiro recalled the first time he told Yuki about the Harmonics Organization, Yuki was devastated by it. So that at that time Shiro confirmed his heart to fight Harmonics alone without his sister.

He did not want his beloved sister to be hurt, plus now he already had a lover who loved him. If anything happened to Yuki, she would definitely feel guilty.

In the middle of his daydream, someone knocks on the door of the room and Alpha and Doctor Jake enter Shiro's room.

"Doctor Jake, what about my wound? Is it better?" Shiro asked as Doctor Jake finished opening the bandage.

"Miss, it looks like you don't have to wear bandages anymore, the wound is dry, and it closes perfectly. For this large scar problem, I recommend using an ointment that we have re-formulated. I'm sure in just a few weeks' time, this scar will soon fade." Obviously Doctor Jake.

"Thank God, now I'm free to bathe unhindered again." Shiro was relieved.

Alpha also understood Shiro's thinking, all this time he had difficulty bathing because the scars that had not been dry were very troublesome.

"Alpha, what about the development of the case?" Shiro asks after Doctor Jake leaves.

"I was very surprised when I found out the data from the lady. It feels like the ability of the lady has far surpassed us, even in my opinion Miss's father lost to the lady. That data seems to be referring to their headquarters." Said Alpha.

After a few seconds of pause, Shiro said nothing, Alpha resumed his explanation.

"Because based on the data that the lady gave us, we were finally able to uncover about the place. There is an island, very close to the south pole. On this island at a glance we found a big project, the name is The Harmonics. The project honestly looks quite suspicious because around there the guard is very tight. Even hundreds of miles from the island there must be some patrolling the ocean."

"I thought it was the same as I thought." Shiro Sahut.

Shiro soon dissolves with his thoughts, but the words from Alpha startle him. Suddenly he had a silver box in his hand

"Miss Shiro, congratulations on your 25th birthday. It's March 3rd. Did miss forget?" Alpha is excited.

"really? I totally forgot. Thank you Alpha." Shiro replied followed by his sweet smile.

"Miss, sorry before. There's something I want to tell Miss Shiro." Alpha is doubtful.

"Please, why would you doubt that?" Shiro asked curiously as he looked at the silver box in Alpha's hand.

"Miss, this is a message from Mr. Yama to Miss Shiro." Alpha gives Shiro the silver box with the gold ribbon.

"really? From Dad?" Shiro asked in disbelief. He immediately received the gift box and hugged her.

"Thank you Alpha. Thank you dad." He said while looking up.

"If I can say this, honestly lately I think, it seems like you already know when he will leave Miss. One night before the earthquake, Mr. Yama called me in secret. He asked me to go into his room, and then he gave me this box. You told me to give you this box right when Miss's 25th birthday." Alpha said slowly while watching Shiro's expression. He was afraid that Shiro would be sad, but his master's son seemed to be stronger than he had imagined.

"Thank you for telling me the story. Did Dad say anything else? If anything, I think it's time you told me too." Shiro knew it was very difficult for Alpha to bring up the past like this.

"This is not a message from Sir. Mr. Yama just wants us to look after the lady until we die. But I felt awkward. The next morning, after Master gave this box, Master seemed to be very angry with someone. That morning, it was as if you were talking on the phone with someone else. I heard, they were arguing. Then the Master even cursed the person. Miss must know, sir never cursed anyone else."

"I don't know who Mr. was on the phone that morning. Then a day after the incident, there was an earthquake in various areas, especially in North City." Alpha ends the explanation.

"So you think there's something odd about that, and maybe there's something to do with the earthquake? But we know that earthquakes are natural phenomena."

"Maybe my imagination is too troubled." Alpha said while chuckling. "Miss, I'm willing to resign, there are a few things I have to do. Excuse me Miss."

Afterwards, Alpha came out of Shiro's room. According to him, maybe Shiro wants to be alone first.

Shiro knowing the meaning of Alpha just smiled. After Alpha came out and closed the door, Shiro immediately opened the gift box.
