 “I know Jamie’s father, and I know how ‘pleasant’ he is.” Kyrin had met the man a few times during the meetings her father had brought her too. James’ father and Han were on good terms the last time they had met up. Kyrin had heard it through their conversation. She didn’t know how they were at the moment, but she assumed that they couldn’t have changed their feelings too quickly, not unless one side had done something extremely unwelcome. “I am tired of talking to you about this, get out.”

Ian shook his head. "No. I won't. I told you I'm not leaving without Jamie. Jamie is he heir to our mafia. Without him, our mafia's status will diminish greatly. What kind of respect will the other mafia's bosses have for Jamie's dad if he can't even control his own son's behavior? If you as tired as I am with this conversation, then you'd drop it because I'm not moving."

"If you are so intent on staying around, then you can sleep outside my walls. I do not want you here." Kyrin was fed up with the attitude that she felt she was getting from Ian. He's just trying to save his own a**, he doesn't care about Jamie. Kryin had a list of reasons that she disliked Ian: He was a man, he was rude, he was still in her house, he was selfish, and... there were likely more, but she couldn't think of them off the top of her head. Kyrin found that she could care less that James was the heir to the mafia that Ian kept speaking of, because James had told her many times that he didn't like the mafia life. What kind of person is this Ian, if he wants to force Jamie back to a place that he doesn't want to be? Kyrin lowered her eyes at Ian again, "This is my house, get out now!"Craig had been watching this whole exchange with his arms folded over his chest. He wasn't smiling. Ian was talking about the mafia that Craig had just brought him from, and by the way that Kyrin was taking this, Craig almost wished he hadn't brought the man. Craig couldn't understand why Kyrin was acting the way she was acting, and it made him wonder what had gotten into her. Usually she's very diplomatic with people from other mafias. Craig walked a little closer, close enough to pull Kyrin off the other man if she decided that violence was better then talking. Craig could see that Ian was starting to get on her nerves. While he knew that she was in the right to be able to tell Ian to get out of her house, he thought she was going about it completely wrong. He also thought that Ian should, somewhere in his head, respect Kyrin's wishes to get out. He doesn't understand that she will get dangerous if he keeps pushing her. Craig wanted to see how far Kyrin would let this go before, either realizing her mistake or trying to kill Ian.

Izzy glanced at Craig and Jaydn as they appeared upstairs, eyes wide. Losing Kyrin's hand, Izzy clutched at the hem of her skirt, afraid to see what would happen between Kyrin and Ian, but unable to pry her gaze away. I don't understand why Ky is so angry.
Jaydn silently watched the two argue over Ian's right to stay with his hands in his pockets. It is her house but she's being irrational. Honestly, he wasn't too sure who he agreed more with. They both had their points. But when Ian mentioned 'other mafia bosses', Jaydn couldnt resist inserting his own opinion. Self-importantly, he commented, "Well, I've lost respect for him considering he doesn't have control over his son right now."

Ian sighed. He folded his arms across his chest. She was getting more and more irrational as time seemed to go by. "Is that all? All you can do is repeat over and over that you want me out of your house. This whole time that we have been talking you haven't come up with one decent response to the issues I'm bringing up. Have you even considered what will happen to your mafia if I leave without Jamie? From what I am seeing it seems like you are acting irrational. You're relying fullying on your emotions and for some reason you're aiming all of your anger at me. I'm sure you're a smart girl. If you were a more experienced mafia boss you'd step back and calm down before coming and talking to me. When you cool your head down a little and then talk to me, I believe that you'd think more on the rational side. You'd think more about your mafia than your own needs."

Kyrin heard what Jaydn had said, and a smile began to tug at the edges of her mouth, not a happy smile, but more like a smug grin. She then turned her attention to the words that were coming from Ian. Stupid… She thought as she replied, “I don’t think you are quite getting it. Nothing will happen to my mafia if Jamie doesn’t come back with you. Nothing at all. I don’t think you know who I am.” As she tried to associate her as little as possible with her father, she assumed that many people didn’t put two and two together, even through name. Kyrin did think, however, that if Ian was so important that he was sent to get James, that he would know who she was, and that she was the daughter of Han Matsui. She didn’t however elaborate on who she was as she continued, “Do not stand there and insult me, I am thinking rationally enough.” Folding her arms, she said, “Leave,” And then in a sarcastic tone added, “Please.”
Craig, hearing what Ian had to say, felt himself begin to get slightly irked at the attitude that Ian had on him. Craig moved to stand next to Kyrin, placing his hand on her shoulder steadily. He fixed his gaze on Ian, “I do think that you are being rather rude.” He said lightly, “She has asked you to leave her house. You don’t have any right at all to invite yourself to stay. I am sure that there are plenty of nice hotels you could stay in outside these walls.” Craig saw that Kyrin was going to speak again, and he shushed her, continuing, “I don’t believe that I brought you here so that you could insult my boss’ daughter. Now, you had better tame that attitude of yours before I tame it for you.” The only time that Craig would lose his composure was when someone was completely out of line, when it came to his work for Han, or when it came to someone insulting Kyrin. Ian fell into all of these, as it was part of Craig’s job to protect Kyrin. While Craig believed that Kyrin was being slightly irrational, he knew that the only way for her to think properly was to remove the source of her anger and talk through it with her.

Nori had been drinking a few more sips of milk before he decided to find out what the commotion was. He had heard yelling, but debated whether he really wanted to get involved or not. But, well, this was his group now, and he needed to know what was going on between them if he was going to be a good comrade.
He leaned on the edge of the kitchen door to hear what direction was coming from. But it was unmistakably loud and easy to follow. He sighed, and went up the stairs. He wasn't hidden from the scene, but he was far enough away to see what was going on without interupting anything. Eh? Ky is yelling at Ian?
He decided to observe a little longer.

Ian could only stare blankly at Craig and Kyrin. Turning to Craig Ian smirked. "I'm sorry. Did this conversation involve you? No. I'm afriad it didn't. While it's true that I don't have the right to stay here. I do believe that I have the right to state my side before I'm thrown out on the streets like a dog. She isn't acting rational. I hate to be childish, but I don't think I started this converstation. She's the one who decided to insult me by throwing me out without a real explination why. Something such as you weren't invited isn't a reasonable excuse in my eyes. Usually, if we have someone enter the mafia for purposes and reasons from another mafia we'll gladly hear them out and talk rationally. She has already put it in her mind that she didn't want me here. She makes up an excuse with saying that I'm not invited without even hearing me or my reasons. Unless this is the way this mafia decides to do things. And I'm sorry if I'm not insulting her. I'm only stating my opinion. I want REAL answers. None of my questions or reasonings are being listened to. I get a get out for everything I say. I told you why I came here. I had orders from my mafia to find the heir. You agreed to help me out. I followed. I stated my reasoning for being here and now you're also throwing me out? This is between her and I so please, stand to the side will you?"
Ian took a deep breath and faced Kyrin next. "Little girl. I know very well who you are. Han's name slipped my mind for a second but it's come back to me now. I don't think you understand the situation you are in. Even if you are Han's precious daughter it's not going to save you from a feud between mafias. And as Han's daugther I think you know very well how important a mafia's heir is. If there is no heir, where does the mafia go? What will the mafia do? We aren't going to hire some random man on the streets to become the next head. Think of our posistion right now. What would your father do if you ran away to our mafia? Don't you think he'd want you back? What would he do to Jamie's little mafia if Jamie refused to give you up? I don't think he'd take that very well now would he? Even if Jamie was the son of his very dear friend I think he'd to anything to get you back. You're his daughter and the next mafia head. Even if it was againist your wishes he'd demand you back. Family comes after the mafia. This is the way the mafia is. Don't tell me that it's anyway different. I am not insulting you. All I am doing is asking for answers. Telling me to get out is not going to solve our problem. You can't just make everything that's "evil" go away just instantly. You have to face it sometimes. So grow up a little."

Craig lowered his eyes at Ian, “This conversation involved me when it began,” It was hard to anger Craig, extremely so, but annoyance was beginning to play across Craig’s features. “I brought you here because I knew where James was, I did not being you here so that you could throw that little attitude of yours around. She made up no excuse to have you out, she simply stated that she did not want you here. And if she doesn’t want you out-”
At that point Kyrin stopped Craig, by sliding out from under his hand and placing herself directly in front of Ian. “You do a lot of talking for someone of no status.” He had hit a nerve. Kyrin was not the heir to her father’s mafia, Jaydn was, and nothing hurt her more then this. “You should have your facts straight before you come into someone’s house, and start acting like you own the place. You never asked me any question, other then, why did I want you out, and that was answered, you were not invited. I don’t want you here.” Kyrin’s eyes flashed with anger, “You being here has put me and my mafia in the danger that you speak of and now you are throwing that bullshit in my face! You are insulting me, and you have insulted Han and one of his men. I don’t think its me who needs to grow up. You should learn to choose your words more carefully.”
Taking a moment to gather the rest of her thoughts, Kyrin pushed strands of hair from her face, she then leaned close to Ian, so only he could hear her, “Jamie doesn’t want to go with you, if you loved him, ever, then you would understand that. But here you are, trying to pull him back into a world that he doesn’t want to be in.” The anger that had flared in Kyrin before was just a dull roar behind her now as she began to match wits with Ian.

Having felt that he has been addressed in the 'heir to the mafia' comment, Jaydn threw in his own thoughts, "While I do agree with you, Ian, that Kyrin is being a tad bit over emotional right now, you are being extremely rude in inviting yourself to stay at her home. It is within the Mafia code to give each side a chance to rightfully defend itself, but around here, we also give high regard to courtesy. It would be best if you would remain civil since you do know who she is. Insulting her, Craig, or anyone else here would be a faulty move."
Standing up a little straighter but still remaining distant, he seemed to look down upon Ian as he tilted his chin up slightly. "Also, I don't know if you realized this but if you stay here, away from your mafia a good enough time, they'll come looking for you and their heir. Though I don't understand what they would want with an heir who didn't want the job. He would be bound to abandon them eventually, wouldnt he?" Jaydn seemed to almost give a smirk. It was never a situation he would find himself in, he had accepted being the mafia heir. And it has it's perks.

Ian glared at the both of them. He had planned to keep his cool while talking to Kyrin but she had crossed the line bringing Jamie and his relationship into this. "Don't...Don't you dare tell me that I'm trying to bring him back into a world that he doesn't want to be in. What are you doing then!??! Isn't this a mafia as well??! You aren't saving him! Don't think that you're going to be his salvation! You aren't that special. I'm sorry. You don't know Jamie as well as you think you do. He's a fool for running here. He knew that we would come running after him. He can't keep running away. I do love him. That's why I'm here! He is in more trouble than he can ever imagine. If I bring him back this will settle everything. Sure he'll be in trouble but it will save his hide a few more lashings than if he was forced to come back by his own father. If I bring him back then your mafia will be safe as well. Don't put the blame on me saying that I'M the one who endangered your mafia! YOU endangered you OWN mafia by letting him hide here! You should have known that by letting him reside here that your mafia would suffer the consequences as well! Jamie is very important. Our mafia is suffering from his absense. I won't let our mafia fall due to a mere absense of it's heir. Especially when I'm right here and I know where he is."
Ian turned to Mr.Cheeto man. At least he was being a bit mre understanding. "I understand you point. But I believe that have been civil up until now. I don't think I've been treated very civil when she first encountered me. All she did was scream at me without stating any reason. I don't understand why I must act civil to her when she has not treated me in the least bit civil from the get go. I am not trying to insult anyone here but it's come to this point which I am very sorry for. I am being insulted as well. "someone with no status"? I don't appreciate being called that. I am the brains behind Jamies mafia. I control the accounts and monetary values. I have reached a status in which James' dad recongizes my skills as valuble. He also trusts me with Jamie's safety. She's making faulty moves all over by insulting me and my purpose for being here. Also, while it is true that if I stay here they will begin to look for me and James as well. This is why I was hoping to request help from this mafia so that we could create a way to allow myself and James to stay here. But as it stands I won't be getting any help from Miss.Kyrin here. If we could focus more on the matter at hand than who's more at fault things could be better solved."

Kyrin smiled, she had gotten to him, but the smile did not last long. Her irrational side had faded with her emotions. Ky had been falling in and out of strong emotions over the past couple days. Now, however, she became angered at Ian, out of his ignorance, out of his disrespect. She wouldn’t apologize for her earlier actions, she didn’t feel she needed to. Though she still wanted him out, Kyrin replied to Ian in a calm tone, one that was almost eerie coming from Ky after she had exploded in such a way, “Jamie ran here of his own accord, I allowed him to stay because he wanted to. That is friendship, not me trying to anger your mafia. And stop insulting me, you may believe that you aren’t, but by saying things like ‘do you think you’ll be his salvation,’ or ‘you aren’t special‘, you are.” She paused, “You are stupid and ignorant, and I mean that as blatantly as it can be taken. He is only here because he wants to be, I am not keeping him here, he is under no orders of mine. And I did not endanger myself by letting him stay here, stop placing the blame on me. If you hadn‘t upset him, he wouldn‘t have run away. Why don‘t you think about that?” Kyrin ran a hand through her hair and sighed as she listened to Ian speak to Jaydn. Upset and slightly hurt by the fact that her cousin had decided to step in, Kyrin bit her tongue to keep from saying something rude to Jaydn. His speaking up did, however, set things straight in her mind. She had faltered again in being a leader, she took this unspoken lesson from her cousin to heart and after Ian had finished his words to Jaydn, Kyrin spoke again, “I really can’t believe that you still think you aren’t being insulting. And I wonder, if you are the brains behind the operation, then how did it come to this?“ Kyrin was amazed at the fact that someone, who said they had so much authority in a mafia, would come into the house of another mafia and not immediately introduce himself to the leader. She was amazed that he would blow his obligation off for a relationship that he wasn’t even sure of. She began to speak these words, “You came into my mansion, and ignored your duty. If you had wanted help, the first thing you would have done would have been to seek me out. The first thing. Not the last, only after I sought you out myself. You offended me greatly by coming into my house and acting like you owned the place. Where does that fit in the code of ethics? Why do you think I would want someone that I had no realization of in my mansion?” Looking over at her cousin, then back at Ian, she continued, “And do not talk about me as if I was not here. I am in charge here, not Jaydn. So address me.” Kyrin took a few steps back from Ian, not in a retreating way, but to give him a little space. “If we could focus more on the matter at hand than who's more at fault things could be better solved.” Ian’s last sentence played over again in Kyrin’s head. She laughed internally, Hypocritical s**t. She kept herself calm however, as she added on last comment. “If Jamie will go with you, then go ahead and take him, but if he doesn’t want to then I suggest you leave him alone.” She paused once more, “Jamie is allowed to stay here as long as he pleases, you on the other hand, I want out. You did not show the diplomacy of one seeking help from another mafia upon your entry, so I am not going to show it to you now.”
Craig was smiling again as he watched Kyrin speak, somehow it seemed that she had worked things out in her head on her own. He noticed the change in her voice, the authority it held. She is still her father’s child. He reminded himself. Craig was still slightly upset at the fact that Ian continued to insult Kyrin, while saying that he wasn’t, but he said nothing. It was true that this was partially a conversation that he himself could be a part of, but with Kyrin calm now, he didn’t need to interject. He folded his arms across his chest and watched.

Nori listened to the conversation- not as an observer, but as someone who takes in the information as if a school professor was speaking it. He soaked in the information and wondered if he could solve this problem in a proper way.
He was especially concerned that the conversation was circling Jamie. He knew that Ky and Jamie were friends, but he had no idea that he was from a different mafia...did he betray his other mafia? He shook the thought away and pondered the argument at hand. Now would be the time to intervene.
Sounding as bussinesslike as possible,(which was a little difficult coming from the small statured boy) Nori decided to step in.
"Perhaps if we look at both ends of the problem, we can fix up a solution?" He offered. It sounded more like he was talking about a simple math problem. " Stating it simply, Ky wants Ian out. But Ian says he can't leave without Jamie. Putting Morals aside about who insulted who, maybe we can work out something from here, considering it concerns two mafias. Which sounds like serious bussiness." He wasn't lecturing them, not in the least. But he was trying to look at the whole picture with the emotions scraped away. Emotions made th entire thing difficult. Like adding variables to a problem when they could easily cancel each other out. " I realize that this is your decision Ky, so I appologize for interupting. I just figure things might progress this way." He leaned back against the wall, signifying that he was done giving his two cents.

Ian sighed. This childish arguement was getting tiring. There was too much that either side didn't know. In the way back of his mind he thought that both of them were at fault but neither wanted to admit it. Listening to Nori, Ian decided that it would be wise to take his advice. They had to stop arguing and find a solution. For some reason this triggered Mary's voice to ring back into his head. It had been the time where she forced him and Jamie to sit down and talk. Neither of them refused to forgive the other. You're too stubborn. That can be an advance but it also can be a weakness. You have to learn to step back and be the first to appologize. Don't make Jamie do all the work...Even if you think the other person is wrong and maybe they might be...you have to think rationally. Winning an arguement won't give you anything but bragging rights. So forgive and forget, Ian. Stop trying to win everything. Being he first to right your wrongs can get you farther than you think. Ian dropped his walls reluctantly. Thank you Nori and Mary...I think..."...Kyrin. I'm sorry for barging into your mafia and taking over. It's true that I should have come straight to you with my problem. For that I appologize. I acted rashly. Jamie has been missing from sometime so I immediately chased after him. And from what I've heard from you, I can tell that you know about his and mine relationship. We dated for 7 years so my emotions came first. I still do harbor feelings for him and often my emotions will come first when it comes to him. While it is true that he ran away from the mafia, he didn't just run away because of me. He has been trying to run away for years now. I was the final pushing point. Nevertheless, the problem here lies with Jamie. What you and I want to do with him isn't our say. Truthfully, I would like Jamie to be able to stay here. I think he would be happier here. While I would like to run away from the mafia as well, I won't push in asking you to let me stay here as well. I don't expect you give me housing when I have already insulted you enough. I'm sorry. While I can't leave without Jamie, I believe that if we could come up with a situation in which Jamie could stay here while fooling my mafia. I think this would be the best solution to our problem..."

Kyrin listened to Nori, she was more irked that he was putting in his opinion, then she was when Jaydn had done so. Taking a moment to retain her anger, as she was working on being a better leader, she sighed softly. I don’t need an over view of what is going on. This is ridiculous. He doesn’t have any idea what’s going on. Instead of snapping at Nori, though, she ignored what he had said and shot him a look. A look that said ‘Just be quiet.’ It wasn’t meant to be rude, but it definitely wasn’t a nice one. She then turned her attention back to Ian. Even though both Nori and Ian were apologizing to her now, it wasn’t making Kyrin any more eager to keep Ian around. Kyrin, while listening to what Ian had to say, couldn’t focus on what he was saying to the full extent. He’s apologizing now? Kyrin didn’t really appreciate the fact that he was backing down when he had just been acting all high and mighty. She saw it as a fault in him, one of the many that she was picking up. How is he “the brains of the operation” like this? She couldn’t help but wonder as he rambled on. When Ian began to talk about his relationship with James and how his emotions had gotten a hold of him, Ky tuned him out. She began to hear him again, when he said, “What you and I want to do with him isn't our say.” She spoke at this point, “I was never trying to decide ‘what to do’ with Jamie, if you were listening to me, I was saying that you need to let him do what he wants. Get your facts straight.” Kyrin folded her arms over her chest, I just said that Jamie could stay here, what the hell is he still going on about? He can go an trick his mafia on his own. Looking Ian in the eyes, she said, coldly, “I don’t feel comfortable tricking your mafia. Are you trying to get me and my mafia killed?” She paused, “How is this a good solution? A little while ago, you were going on about the fact that I was putting myself in danger with your mafia by having Jamie here, and now you are suggesting that I go and try to fool them?” Kyrin couldn’t believe the words that she had heard come out of his mouth. He is out of his arrogant little mind.
