Kyrin heard the racket in the hall and waited it out. It seemed that Xavier had played a prank on Jaydn that Jaydn really didn’t take very well. After that she heard a long string curses from Xavier, only half of which she actually knew herself. His Japanese was definitely better then her own. During this time, she had managed to calm herself down and not cry. Wandering into her closet she changed her clothes. Dressed in a short skirt and a loose fitting spaghetti strap shirt, Kyrin felt her stomach grumble at her. She was hungry…still. Sighing, she looked at her appearance in the mirror. She looked tired. In the past two weeks her hair had grown out slightly showing black roots beneath the blonde that she had had it dyed.
Now, Kyrin heard Xavier talking to someone that he kept calling V. It interested her that he was talking in English, he wouldn’t even do that for her. She flicked off her light switch and opened her door to more blackness. ”Xay! What the hell are you doing?” She called into the darkness, forgetting that she could have simply just flicked her light switch back to on.

Xavier looked around in the dark, trying in vain to get his eyes to adjust to the lack of lighting. ”Lights V!” Xavier called. He then stopped as he heard another noise in the hall. The ‘ow’ sounded almost distinctly like Nori, and if Xavier knew where he was in position to the other boy he would have snuck up on him, but not even knowing where he himself was, that wasn’t going to work. Then Xavier heard another voice,”Ky! Turn on some lights! Come on!” He called thinking that he would out smart Levi that way. Once the lights from Kyrin’s room flooded light back into the hall, Xavier spotted his friend, ”Messed up.” He said to Levi with a laugh.
Xavier then smiled to Kyrin and thanked her, before turning and waving slightly to Nori as his eyes adjusted. Xavier hadn’t done anything else major to Nori since he had unknowingly stolen the boy’s first kiss. Xavier was only ‘friendly’ around Nori when Jaydn was around to bug with the aspect that Xavier might be gay. Though Xavier could never be gay, he found it more then hilarious to mess with his older brother. When Jaydn wasn’t around, though, Xavier was actually quite pleasant to Nori, it was just that he didn’t really think about the feelings of others when he pulled pranks on Jaydn.

Levi laughed on the floor for another minute, then stood to face his friend. "Did I successfully freak out anyone else?" He peeked around the hallway, smiling to the others there, both of whom looked at the moment female, and both of whom looked pretty.
"Sorry ladies, I only meant to freak out him," Levi approached Kyrin's end of the hallway, anxious at the prospect of making new (attractive, presumably female) friends. He brushed his hands off on his jeans and extended one hand to Kyrin. "'Allo there. I'm Levi Donnelly." In his nervousness, a slight Irish accent showed through.

Kyrin smiled at this new man in front of her. She had met very few of Jaydn’s men because of the simple fact that he had so many of them, and she very rarely, if ever, went to visit’s the Coyote’s part of town. Kyrin accepted the proffered hand and smiled at Levi, ”Kyrin Matsui.” She said with a smile. Kyrin opened her mouth to say something more, but Xavier interrupted.
”My cousin.” Xavier said with a proud smile to Levi as he wandered up to the three. And then he pointed to Nori, ”And that’s Ky’s seamster…er, seamstress.” He gave up for a moment and took a bite of his apple in thought, before settling on, ”That’s Ky’s Bi Crossdresser.” He hadn’t said it to be spiteful, he simply said it because that was how he knew Nori, that and he could have added, ‘cook and maid’, but he left those out, thinking that Levi would gather that later on.

Levi blinked his big green eyes a couple times in Nori's direction. "Really.... Hello there! I'm Levi." Immediately distracted by the prospect of a new and interesting acquaintance, he offered his hand to the boy. Levi was not at all fazed by the fact that Nori was not, in fact, a female, as he had first ascertained. In fact, it thrilled and amused him beyond belief. He was grateful that Xavier and Jadyn had allowed him to stay with them as they paid a visit to Kyrin's mansion, it gave him new people to meet, and new stories to follow. He loved human drama, the sheer absurdity of it entertained him beyond belief.

 Nori blinked as the lights flickered on. The disembodied voices he had heard earlier now had faces before him. He was wary seeing Xavier there, but curious about the stranger from Jaydn's gang who approached Kyrin. Nori didn't particularly dislike Xavier, not at all. But he still was holding his grudge in the back of his mind. Although, he didn't take it too personally. It was Xavier's pleasure to irritate his brother after all; So Nori would do his best to avoid being together with both of them at a time if he could help it.
At Levi's voice, Nori nodded to his appology. He didn't even notice that he was called a lady, since it was second nature by now(and it didn't help that he was wearing a sort of skirt over his jeans). After Xavier introduced him with the title of "Ky's Bi Crossdresser" Nori followed immediatly with "Nori Blauvelt, Nice to meet you." and shook the hand he offered.

"It's very nice to meet you too. So you're a seamstress? As in, you sew? I make costumes. I'm a bit of a master of disguise." Levi shook Nori's hand quickly, talking even faster, his hint of an accent becoming more apparent the faster the small man spoke. He had completely forgotten to ask about the crossdressing bit, but at the moment discussing costume tips struck his short attention span as more interesting.

Kyrin watched Levi and Nori talk, and suddenly felt as though she were not needed there anymore. With her cousin and his mafia around in her mansion, Kyrin had been feeling that a lot lately. There was nothing for her to do, and her whole mansion was full of men. However interesting they may have been, it was full of men, and that didn’t in the least make he ecstatic. She sighed and went to flip the light switch that Levi had turned off. This sent light throughout the hallway, giving light to anyone who may have found themselves in the dark. Kyrin knew what every switch In her beloved mansion did, and that switch would totally black out the hallway if no other lights were on. There were two more switches that did the exact same thing throughout the hallway, which was good for Izzy since she was afraid of the dark and could turn the lights on at any point in the hall.
Kyrin stood for a moment longer, before smoothing out her skirt and turning off the light in her room. She shut the door and made her way down the stairs, her hair bouncing lightly behind her. She entered the kitchen.
Xavier glanced at Kyrin as she moved about, and gave her a smile before she left down the stairs,”Bye Ky!” He called, and then suddenly remembered,”Oh! Jaydn probably isn’t in a good mood! I would leave him alone!” He got the faintest of nods from Kyrin and figured that she could hold her own against Jaydn. In Xavier’s eyes, there was nothing that Kyrin couldn’t handle, sometimes it just took her some time to figure out how to handle things. Xavier then turned his attention back to the other two in the hall and said, ”He sews quite well.” It was a nice compliment to Nori from Xavier, as he didn’t often voice compliments aloud in front of the people that he was complimenting. Xay liked clothes and figured one day he would commission some from Nori, if time would permit him to. Xavier had a very ‘busy’ schedule that included mostly just doing as he pleased, but he still called it busy to anyone who asked.

Levi considered this a moment, fidgeting and adjusting his loose top. "Yeah? My sewing's quite shoddy most of the time, but you should know that, huh Xay? Yeah, I mean, maybe, since Imma' be here a bit, you could help me?" Levi turned his request to Nori, not even considering that perhaps, he could be overwhelming the other man. Often, Levi didn't think though he spoke too quickly, and with the hint of his natural Irish accent, it didn't help others. Levi, of course, thought he was perfectly comprehensible, and thought the confused acquaintances silly for not understanding him.

 After Xavier put it his two cents about how he felt about Jaydn’s punch and left the room, Jaydn yanked off his tie and threw off his suit jacket angrily. Though the punch had felt wonderful, he was still fuming over the prank and the fact that he was awake earlier than he had to be. Awake now, he couldn’t get back to sleep and so opted to change into something more comfortable than the suit he had thrown on to greet his uncle with. Tossing both articles on the still unmade bed, he stalked over to his closet, taking out a pair of dark jeans and a black wife beater. Dressing himself, he made his way over to the mirror to fix his hair. In the reflection, he mulled over his outfit.
His jeans hung on his hips, held there by a black belt. The wife beater hugged his toned body, showing off his sculpted arms. Jaydn worked out when he had the time as both a way to keep himself prepared for his missions and their requirements and as a way to keep the body he knew was attractive. Jaydn couldn’t resist having women fawn over him and he basked in their attention, one of the reasons he didn’t allow any women in his own mafia as they would distract him from his duties. Quite honestly, Jaydn found it easier for him to not think about women and the possibility of a relationship with them as it would most likely be a burden to him. That of course doesn’t keep his mind from wandering onto them every so often, he was only human. Running his hands through his hair that was still too short for his own taste, Jaydn spared a glance in the mirror to confirm that his younger brother was still in the room and sure enough, Maddox was in the process of fixing Jaydn’s room.
The quiet boy wasn’t quite sure what to do after his brothers had their argument other than fidget uncomfortably. Even after years of watching them do it, Maddox hadn’t figured out what the best thing to do after such a thing happened was. He watched Jaydn stomp about the room and decided that he would be much more at ease doing something rather than just standing there. He picked up Jaydn’s clothes, hanging them back up neatly and turning his attention to Jaydn’s bed. Pulling the covers off of the floor, he said barely loud enough to be heard as he made Jaydn‘s bed, “You shouldn’t have hit him.”
“Shut up Maddox.” Jaydn slammed the comb he had in his hand on the counter and glared at Maddox’s reflection in the mirror. Seeing Maddox comply seemed only to make Jaydn’s mood worse. Turning he made to leave the room, hoping to find a distraction in the house. He realized as he left the room that Maddox was following him, walking a good feet away from him in case Jaydn still felt like punching something, which he did. Almost as a way to keep himself from doing so, Jaydn stuffed his hands in his pockets. Walking through the hall and down the stairs, Jaydn was too lost in his own thoughts about his brothers to notice how his men avoided making eye contact with him, each of them trying to stay out of their boss’ way.
Jaydn caught a glimpse of the kitchen doorway and seemed to perk up slightly. Coffee, that’s what I need, coffee. Walking in, Jaydn chose to ignore for the moment both Kyrin and Jamie, making his way directly to the coffee maker. Turning around to face everyone else in the room with a mug of coffee in his hands, Jaydn gave a fierce glare at Maddox who he realized was trying to silently apologize to Kyrin and Jamie for Jaydn’s behavior.

Nori let the excentric stranger shake his hand, his eyes darting around Levi as he tried most politely to understand what he was saying. As Kyrin walked away, Nori's head immediatly follwed her. The reason he had come to the hallway was to tell her about the appointment date, but she seemed uncomfortable with the small party around her. He'd have to catch her later, and watched as Xavier called after her in his foreign toungue.
When the firey haired youth turned back to the group, Nori was caught offgaurd by his nonchalant coompliment. It was a sincere comment, and it was somewhat appreciated. Once Levi continued talking, Nori waited a moment after he finished, to make sure that his unfamiliar speech pattern made sense in his head. " Oh! um,... right!" he nodded curtly. " I'm usually just cleaning around anyway. I haven't had any duties set for me really... So I could deffinatley lend you some things and maybe we could practice sometime." It was Nori's job to act like a host and be as hospitable as possible. He hadn't quite developed any oppinions on Jaydn's men, so he wasn't sure what to expect. He only hoped that he could decipher what Levi said the next time he made a comment to him.

 "Jaydn." A voice called.
It was an unfimialiar voice to those in the Butterfly Mafia. Confident and intrepid, it demanded attention in the most mellow of ways. Unannounced, a new face approached the kitchen door frame. With his hands in his pockets casually, Miles Morózov looked at Jaydn before gazing his dark eyes at the others in the room. An expensive dress shirt and loose tie with slacks to match adorned his body comfortably, as if it was his own skin. He nodded to the Butterfly Mafia's leader respectivley, with a "Miss Kyrin." and a curt nod, before turning his attention back to Jaydn. " The bodies of the Hayes brothers were found in a car beneath the Coleman River. It's not known who's resposible for it right now, but this could be a problem for our weapons suply department." He said dully, as if he was commenting on the weather. He adjusted his glasses matter-of-factly before continuing, " I've already set up a temporary replacement, so all I need is the go ahead for sources to continue it's course northeast instead of the usual route."
Miles seemed pretty disappointed that he didn't have anything more interesting to report, especially now that a group of people were looking at him. Slightly tall, he seemed like a young bussinessman. His russian decent gave his eyes dark shadows behind his pretentious glasses, making the hazel of his irises easily noticeable. He was lean, but toned, and his dark hair was somehow messily in place, in a trendy hairstyle.
He contently waited for Jaydn's reply, ready to get back to work as soon as possible.

Jaydn gave a sigh, <********> It was just the cherry to top things off, finding some of his men dead. Just because he had a huge amount of them at his command didn't mean that he was alright with losing a few lives every so often. Jaydn usually tried to keep his men as far away from unnecessay death as possible, understanding the value of life. Jaydn seemed to think the proposed plan over in his head for bit, taking a drink from his mug of coffee. Seeming to think that Miles had the right idea as to what to do next, Jaydn gave the man a nod. "Proceed."
"Ah..." Maddox timidly tried to gather Jaydn's attention. Once he was sure his brother was listening, Maddox continued softly, "Perhaps we should have some men covering the more western route? Just in case?" There was no way for Maddox to put into words a way to describe how he knew it was something that should be done, but it was a thought that he felt he needed to express. When Jaydn looked down at the younger Matsui brother, Maddox met his eyes for a brief moment before dropping to stare at the tiles of the kitchen floor.
Jaydn was silent for a minute before turning to Miles. "Go ahead and continue northeast but send some men to cover the western route. I wouldn't be too surprised if we found an ambush waiting." Jaydn took another drink from his cup. Jaydn appreciated Maddox's help but for him to tell Maddox that he appreciated it was something that Jaydn didn't seem to even understand the idea of.

Kyrin noticed the new man walk in and she was immediately interested. The words ‘tall, dark, and handsome’ floated somewhere in her head. She smiled and nodded him a greeting as he acknowledged her, something she was actually rather glad that he did. She looked over his features when he wasn’t paying attention to her. The sound of his voice was new to her, but at the same time she found it pleasant. Ky was in shock to hear that some of her cousin’s men had died, and didn’t even attempt to mask this feeling from her face. She understood what was going on, and some part of her wanted to respond and be a part of this, but she didn’t have any say in this so stayed out. Her attention went back to Miles.
Kyrin didn’t feel particularly bad about looking at this new man, because lately her and Craig had been a little on edge with each other. Though they were never officially ‘going out’ it was always unspoken between them that they were together, and they were more then friends with benefits. Kyrin had found out that her mission was canceled due to Han needing Craig for a different mission, and was slightly hurt when she found out that Craig knew more then he had let on, including the fact that Han’s men were going to finish the job after Kyrin and the Butterfly Mafia had killed Largo.
’Why didn’t you tell me?’, but Craig had no answer, he instead came back with something of his own, in a voice that was tired. ‘You weren’t ready Ky, someone would have gotten hurt.’ Although he had said this with kindness, Kyrin took more offense then she needed to. She was silent for a while. ‘Whatever.’
They had multiple conversations on the matter, some of them lengthy and some short, but all of them ending up with one of them fed up. In the end, they had come to another unspoken agreement that they should go on a break of sorts and perhaps not talk for a while. It hadn’t lasted long before Craig had called Kyrin. When she refused to talk to him, it angered him and he called her something a little less then pleasant. Kyrin couldn’t believe that Craig had lost his gentleman composure with her.
It had been four days since she last talked to him and although they were distant and Kyrin was still angry at him, she still found herself remembering some of their fonder times. This still didn‘t stop her from admiring Miles though. As it was neither Ky or Craig were quite willing to say they were sorry for the words they had spoken.
Kyrin’s attention came back to what was going on when Maddox spoke, as she had to pay more attention to understand the words in Japanese. She smiled as she realized that Jaydn had taken what Maddox had said to heart. She knew that Jaydn would likely give the other man no credit, but she knew that Maddox deserved it.

James stood from his spot at the kitchen table, slipping his book shut and removing the black rimmed glasses. He didn't want to be around all these people, though he did cast an approving glance at the newcomer, there was no denying the man was good looking. And Jamie was more than allowed to look. But still, he left the kitchen, and stopped on his way up the stairs, noticing Ian. He had been ignoring his ex lover recently, but he afforded the man now a smile, and a friendly "Hello." He brushed a hand through his own soft black hair, and the smile became sheepish and embarrassed, Jamie now wondered if he should have said anything at all.
