As soon as Kyrin finished her question, Nori nodded furiously. "Of course!" he whispered loudly. His hands were now balled into fists on his chest. " Of cousre I'll go with you." He repeated. " I'll make a phonecall ASAP." Any way he could be useful, he was willing to do it. He also turned his attention to the gaping doorframe. He held onto the doorframe and poked his head around it, before looking back at Kyrin. His other hand in a mock salute, he said "Don't be scared, I'll take care of it!". He scurried off to his bedroom, where a phone was waiting for him to make an appointment, leaving Kyrin to he personal thoughts and whatever sickness she still felt.

 Kyrin was glad for Nori’s company and when the boy left she sighed and mulled over things in her head. She would go to the doctors, but then what? What’s going to happen? She thought slowly. She knew that whatever happened, she couldn’t tell her father, and she couldn’t act any differently around the other people in the household then she was now, or else she would give away way too much. She sighed. She was going to have to try to keep herself in check and reign in her emotions as best she could. At that moment she felt like crying. Shaking her head she tried to appear confident again as she left the bathroom. Holding her head high, she nodded to her cousin’s men as they again greeted her in the hallway.

Xavier ran down to the second floor in search of Kyrin and found her wandering out of the bathroom, ”Ky!” He said in a loud kind of whisper. ”Ky!” Once he had her attention, he smiled at her and threw his arms around his older cousin. Xavier liked Kyrin, her and Felix were the his favorite cousins. ”Hey!Hey!” He continued once he had let her out of the embrace, ”For the next ten minutes or so, don’t listen to anything that I am saying, okay?” The grin across his face, gave him away, and with that he watched Kyrin smiled and wander away back to her room.
Once she was gone, Xavier ran and banged loudly on Jaydn’s door, “Jaydn!” He cried loudly, his voice distraught, “Jaydn get up! Hurry!” He continued to pound loudly on the door. If anyone in the house had still been asleep at this point, it would have been hard to sleep through this. Xavier pounding as loud as he could on the door, and that mixed with him yelling was a rather loud racket. ”Jaydn! Uncle Han is coming here!!”

 Blankets sprawled over the bottom half of his body, Jaydn was deep in sleep at 8 in the morning. Dreaming something he wouldn’t remember by the time he woke up, he heard faintly in his dream Xavier’s voice calling to him. The loud yelling annoyed even his dream self. Realizing that the yelling refused to cease, Jaydn reluctantly opened his eyes. Still half asleep, it took Jaydn a few minutes to register what exactly Xavier was yelling. Once it clicked though, Jaydn’s body went into a flurry of movement. Throwing the blankets off of himself and rolling out of bed, Jaydn sprinted to the door, flinging it open, still wearing nothing but a pair of black boxers. Bewilderment overtaking his features, he exclaimed as soon as he saw Xavier, “What?! Now?!”
Though rare, Han would come to check up on Jaydn and the Coyotes without warning and spot check every room in the building they were staying at. Jaydn had come to learn that his uncle had a few expectations when he came to see his nephew that were to be met: the building in which the sub mafia was stay was to remain organized and well kept, there would have to be at least two men in every room of the building not to mention that there were also suppose to be men inconspicuously patrolling the perimeter of the building at all times, and Jaydn was to be sure to be in proper attire when greeting his uncle. At this time, Jaydn was unsure if any of these requirements were fulfilled and he knew he was very ill prepared to greet his uncle. Being that Jaydn was housing his men at Kyrin’s mansion now also included in his list of things-to-make-sure-were-done-for-Uncle-Han that he informed Kyrin that her father was coming and she was prepared for him as well. Though not necessarily a requirement, it would be impressive on Jaydn’s part if it was done. Usually, Jaydn knew a few days ahead of time when his uncle would drop by, his information coming from his ever resourceful, if good for nothing else, brother, Xavier. Xavier, however, was not always prompt with the deliverance of his information and it looked to Jaydn that this was one of those times.

Xavier fought to keep is composure as he saw the look his brother gave him. With a look of shock on his own face as well Xavier said,”I got the information late. I’ll go rally the men!” With that he was running up and down the hall, and in his broken English, and heavy Japanese accent he began to shout orders, ”Shape up!” He called as he ran up and down the hall on the second floor, ”Han is on his way!” He then ran to the edge of the banister. With all the noise he had been causing, he already had the attention of the men on the bottom floor, and they too were running around trying to prepare themselves. Only the men on the third floor knew that there was nothing to do and continued to mill about idly. A few of them snickered to themselves, others just went about what they had been doing before. Xavier was playing the part to the best of his abilities, which was indeed very good. In his head he was laughing and it was beginning to become hard to contain his laughter as he knew the panic that he was causing his brother. Xavier didn’t know what exactly he was being spiteful towards Jaydn for at the moment, but he figured that Jaydn deserved it in one way or another.

Running out of the ballroom and sprinting up the stairs to Jaydn's room, Maddox ran by Xavier and the men he was calling to attention with a quick glance. The middle child, Maddox resembled neither of his brothers in personality, usually being quiet and rather conservative. Now however was a completely different matter. Though dressed neatly as was his habit in a pair of black dress pants and a green button up shirt, Maddox was much more concerned about whether or not his older brother was prepared. Maddox always considered it his responsibility to insure that Jaydn was prepared for whatever it was that needed to be done and that he wasn't prepared at this moment was a failing on Maddox's part.
Bursting into Jaydn's room as was normal for them, Maddox found his older brother to be completing his outfit with a tie, the bed still rustled up, its covers tangled on the floor. Because at 19, Maddox was closer in age to Xavier than Jaydn but that was about as close as the two came. Maddox's eyes, unlike the other Matsui brothers, were a blue grey and he seemed to have his mother's Japanese genes concerning his height. At 5'9, with his big eyes and his hair cut in a layered style reaching to just below his ears, his side part sending his slanted bangs to slightly cover the corner of his left eye, Maddox looked as if he was 17 like Xavier. A hand gripping the handle of the door out of nervousness, Maddox remained in the doorframe. The panic now seemed to make his eyes dilate as he exclaimed loudly and quickly to Jaydn in Japanese, “Jaydn! I heard Uncle Han is coming! What should I do? Xavier is gathering up the men. Do you think Uncle has had breakfast yet? Should we have the table set? Do we have enough patrols out, should I send out more? Have you gotten-”Just then, Maddox heard a rather loud something in the hallway.

What Maddox heard was the whole hearted laughter of Xavier, who had just doubled over and nearly fell on the floor. Han wasn’t actually coming and Xavier thought he would only get a reaction out of Jaydn, as it was he had gotten a reaction out of both Jaydn AND Maddox, which overall just made his day. Managing to keep his laughter down only slightly he staggered over to Jaydn’s door frame, his whole body still shaking from his laughter.”Ahahaha! Jaydn! Maddox!” He couldn’t control his laughter as he pointed at his older brothers,”You should have seen your faces!” As he was continuing on about how panicked the other two had gotten, a few of the Coyotes started to snicker around them as well, but at the moment that Jaydn so much as looked at them their faces would be straight.
Xavier was not aware of how dangerously close he was still standing to Jaydn, whom was surely about to rip his head off, he was only aware of how great his prank had worked. His own tricks never ceased to make him happy. He wasn’t vicious, he just liked to have fun.

Jaydn seemed stunned for a moment, standing there, a hand still on his tie as he blinked at what Xavier had said. He glanced coldly at his men that milled about the outside of his room, realizing that most of everyone else seemed to be in on Xavier‘s plot. That damn brat… Jaydn’s cool grey eyes narrowed as he immediately lunged at Xavier, his arm swinging a punch, “I’ll kill you!” If he could manage it, Jaydn was going to kill his younger brother and then leave his body somewhere where vultures could pick at his body. This was to describe how little Jaydn liked to woken up when he didn’t need to be, especially to be woken up to be thrown into a faux panic. He ignored Maddox’s instant protest and the nudging thought in the back of his head that he was going to regret later bruising up his brother but it just felt so good right at that moment that he just didn’t care.

When Jaydn lunged at him and caught Xavier in the jaw, Xavier flinched as the impact actually hurt. ”What the hell!? I didn’t actually hurt you!” Xavier ducked away from Jaydn before he could throw another punch and yelled at him with a string of insults in Japanese. He then stumbled back a few steps away as Jaydn looked like he might strike again. Normally Xavier would have hit Jaydn back, but the pain in his right jaw was spreading and it was making his head pound. Clenching his teeth he almost regretted his prank. Mulling it over, he decided that he regretted not getting away fast enough, and not the prank itself.
After calling Jaydn a few more nasty names and glaring at Maddox for not saving him from the punch, he sulked and made his way down stairs. He’ll be sorry for that later. Xavier thought as he walked past a few of Jaydn’s men, who weren’t used to Xavier backing down. Xavier’s stomach growled at him as he rubbed his face with his hands. He sighed and made his way into the kitchen, not looking back at Jaydn or Maddox. Making his way into the kitchen, he noticed James in the room. He greeted the other man. ”Hello.”

 James looked up from his book at Xavier. He wasn't sure if he really appreciated being taken away from his book, but he dealt with it.
"Hello," he greeted, taking another goldfish cracker out of the bag and eating it mindlessly. He hadn't heard good things about Xavier, especially not from Nori, and being as such he wasn't really willing to give the boy a chance. After his lazy greeting he returned to his book, blantantly ignoring Xavier. He closed the bag of goldfish crackers, without looking up, and pushed them towards the other end of the kitchen table.

When James ignored him, Xavier said something rude about him in Japanese, and then rummaged through the fridge. He found a fuji apple and smiled as he washed it under the water in the sink. Lifting it to his mouth he bit down into it and immediately pain spread across his face again."Damn it Jaydn." He muttered softly under his breath. He chewed the apple slowly, trying to savor it through the pain. It wasn't a task that he could say he enjoyed, but he really wanted to eat the apple. Xavier glared at James once again, before leaving the kitchen, he didn't want to be somewhere where someone was going outright ignore him. And I was being polite. Xavier throught to himself and he chewed on another peice of the apple.
Xavier cleaned up nicely with his hair gelled and dress clothes on. He liked to look nice, but not near as much as he liked to be comfotable. Luckly for him the clothes that he was in at the moment actually weren't too bad in the way of comfort. They fit him nice and were made out of good material. Even though Han wasn't actually coming that day, Xavier had dressed up like he was to fool Jaydn. That was the way it was under Jaydn's rule. When you were on duty, you were to be dressed well, unless on a mission that called for some other kind of dress. Xavier, of course, only listened to that rule when it suited him, or when Han was coming around. He wasn't out to get his brother in trouble with their Uncle. Not most of the time anyway.
Making his way around the mansion, Xavier began to seek out one of his friends from the Coyotes, Levi. Levi enjoyed pulling pranks as much as he did, and the two had become friends when Xavier had finally joined his brother's mafia.

Levi pulled on his lime green slip on converse, thought about it, and kicked himself off the bed. He heard talking, and Xavier's laughter, and wanted to know exactly what was going on. He was dressed colorfully and absurdly, as usual, perfectly matching his odd choice of footwear, green shirt with yellow lettering that said "Make Cupcakes Not War", loose jeans, and the aforementioned converse. He padded silently down the hallway, and saw Xavier walking the other way. He smirked, and crept forward. Levi ducked into a doorway, and reached around, flicking the lights off and waiting happily for Xavier's reaction to having the lights taken away from him.

Xavier spun confused for a minute, "Eh?" He now couldn't even see the apple in his hand, though he could still feel it. Xavier wasn't afraid of the dark, he actually quite liked it, but at that moment, it wasn't a particularly good time to be missing the lights. I won't be able to find Levi in the dark. He thought. Then another thought struck him. "V?" He called out. Though named Levi, Xavier found V to be a proper nickname for the older man.
Xavier had only come to Jaydn's mafia about a year before and had made quick friends of Levi as the two of them enjoyed pulling pranks on the other men in the mafia. It was all mostly harmless. Most of the men knew now not to take him seriously if he wasn't working, because more often then not, the things that he did were for his amusement, or for a competition against Levi. While both Xavier and Levi played tricks on the other men, Xavier was the only one of the two that could actually pull a prank against Jaydn and get away with it with only a punch in the jaw, but this wasn't to say that Levi didn't come up with some of the things that Xay did to his brothers.
Fumbling around in the dark with his free hand scouting the wall for a light switch, Xavier said, "V, cut it out!" Levi was one of the few people that Xavier would speak English for.

Levi cackled delightedly, still sitting in the doorway. "'Allo Xay!" he yelled from his spot, wondering now how long it would take for Xavier to find him. Having the younger man in the Coyotes, Levi thought, made life that much more fun. Not that it wasn't fun to play tricks on the other boys by himself, but he could get away with so much more with Xavier there. Still, he didn't turn the lights on. He wondered briefly if he had turned the lights off on any of Kyrin's mafia. Ah well, even if I did, good way to introduce them to the incomperable Levi Donnelly.

After placing the phone down, Nori felt much better now that he had made an appointment. He would keep it a secret of course, for Ky's sake, but as long as she made the right decisions about it, he didn't mind keeping the secret at all. He put his hands on his knees to lift himself off of the bed. He'd better find Kyrin again. When he opened his door to the hallway, he noticed that he was staring into darkness. " eh?" he squeaked, as the door behind him blew itself shut. Nori's feet convienently helped him fumble painfully into the nearest furniture decorating the hall. "Ow!" He hissed. "Was this always here?" Nori whispered to himself, in his more comfortable tongue. He could hear Xavier's and another's voice nearby and quickly wondered if this was related to the absurd racket that was going on earlier.
