[Fortunately, Izumo doesn't pry anymore. It's a miracle in itself he got Eric to speak that much alone.

He simply gives a nod, waiting for the light to turn so they could (somewhat) safely cross.

His PDA soon rings, prompting him to answer. He greets the person in English, his other hand tucked away into his pocket as he continues to speak.]

[redstray]

[ He stares in boredom over at the light that signified whether to go or not. When it finally moved he made sure to stay Kusanagi's side as the swarms of people began to move along with them.

He perks up at hearing English. Looking at Kusanagi for a quick moment before looking way, he shouldn't eavesdrop. But it was nice to hear English, good English especially, every now and then. ]

[toremainbehind]

[He continues to speak whoever is on the phone while also making sure Eric doesn't end up getting separated from him.

After the call, he hangs up and pockets the PDA.] We gotta make a side trip first. An acquaintance o' mine needs me ta check something out.

[redstray]

[ Eric tries his best to stay with Kusanagi. Even going so far to grab onto his jacket at one point when someone tried to go in between. His hand is off as soon as it came off however, as he put it back in his pockets. He probably shouldn't of done that. ]

Alright.

[ Not like he has a life that has been disrupted by this. He doesn't care. Kusanagi leads, he follows ]

[toremainbehind]

[If he felt that grab, he doesn't say anything nor does he seem to mind. He's walked with Anna before in the city when they had to do errands, and she would often hold onto him not to get lost.

In a way, that almost feels the same.

He's taking a turn out of the crowd, though, and into a secluded alley. He doesn't tell Eric what they're doing or what they're about to do. But—] D'ya have a phone on ya?

[redstray]

[ Eric was a little bit more then relieved to know that they were gong into an alley. He didn't realize he was that tense from the crowds until he relaxed. Upon the question, Eric shuffles out his phone from his pocket and shows it to Kusanagi. ]

Yeah, why?

[toremainbehind]

In case o' emergency. [Leading Eric though!

Izumo goes farther down the alley, eyes forward.] I need ta meet an informant o'mine who gave me a tip.

[redstray]

[ Following Kusanagi. He perks up hearing that kind of stuff. It' for Homra the gang, not the bar this time. ]

Important?

[toremainbehind]

Kinda. Worth enough ta check out at least.

[It's not often that Izumo would take any of the boys with him whenever it came to business on his job as an informant — if at all.]

[redstray]

If you need any help...

[ Though they haven't given him a lot of...in field experience of any sort with the gang, he would give any help he could. He did have some with Hikawa although those were quite...different experience that perhaps Homra didn't want from him. ]

[toremainbehind]

I'll be sure ta ask ya. It'll give ya some good experience in the field, too.

[Partially why Izumo wanted to bring Eric with him. He knows the others doesn't quite trust him enough yet to be on the field with them, and usually Totsuka helps the newcomers settle in, but Izumo wants to be able to see how Eric does, too.

Gradually, he'll let Eric help out more in the field.]

[redstray]

Okay, good.

[ He was still somewhat considered an enemy, for a few that still didn't trust him. He didn't blame them either, he did try to kill two people. And if Homra wanted people dead he would do that for them as well without a second thought, though he doesn't think everyone wanted him to. ]

[toremainbehind]

For now, just listen, but if ya suspect anything's amiss, tell me.

[With that simple order, Izumo's back to leading until they arrive in front of what appears to be another bar, the air having a different feel from HOMRA.

He pushes the door open, and there's a thick fog of cigarette smoke filling the inside, cheerful laughter loud and almost obnoxious.]

[redstray]

[ He nods, understanding.

Already when the door opens he doesn't like the place, it reminds him of the other places that he has visited before. But he stays quiet and just watches everything and anything while sticking close to Kusanagi. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo enters, seemingly unbothered by the atmosphere. Though, he does glance back at Eric, it's meaning clear: Just stay close.

The customers in the bar are a complete opposite of the usual ones that goes to Izumo's bar. They're loud, almost enough to the point where their own voices could barely be heard of spoken at a normal level.

He slides through the crowd, immediately walking up to the bar. Speaking English, he asks the barkeep to get his manager, and an overly polite smile had the barkeep scurrying to the back. In the meantime, Izumo scans the bar, easily spotting a few others their Clan had messed with in the past.]

[redstray]

[ He got the message loud and clear and made sure he stayed the same distance away from Kusanagi as he could.

He follows along easily enough, hearing everything that was said. Although he looked bored out of his mind he was well aware of everything that was around him. With only casual glances through the crowd to get a sense of everyone here. A lot of them were dangerous, he could tell. He was glad that he didn't recognize any of them from his previous gang. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Knowing Mikoto, members from Eric's former gang might've completely turned to ash after he dealt with them.

Izumo waits by the bar, taking out his own cigarette and lighter, the familiar click of the latter lighting the former. He puts his lighter away in his pocket, but keeps his hand in there.

He waits a few minutes before the barkeep comes out, shakily telling the older man the manager wanted to speak to him alone. Breathing out smoke, he gives a nod, walking over to the door leading to the back before pausing and looks at Eric.] Stay by the door.

[redstray]

[ All he hopes is that none of them were left alive, he was never up for a reunion with any of them.

He nods, pushing himself off of the counter and walking towards the door.

While he leaned up against the wall he probably looked like the most out of place person. Being an underage scrawny, tall, foreigner looking kid in a bar filled with what looked like very dangerous people. But he had his knife and skills and an aura to back him up, so there was nothing for him to worry about any of these people. ]

[toremainbehind]

[As Izumo enters the back room, he's distinctly aware of something being amiss in the room.

His suspicions were confirmed when he meets the gaze of a former gang leader without a gang to no longer lead.

A polite smile is thrown before Izumo is attacked, but Izumo easily deals with him soon enough and the gang leader is thrown through the door, silencing the cheery atmosphere and getting the attention of the other patrons.

Just the sight alone spurred the others on, and a fight erupts.]

[redstray]

[ Eric wasn't expected a man through a door, at least not that soon.

As soon as the silence changed to sliding chairs and shouts of anger, Eric drew his blade and glared before cutting down anyone that tried to pick a fight with him. ]

[toremainbehind]

[No one messes with Izumo, especially if they try to get him killed under the promise of money. So he'll be taking care of that manager in the back.

But the bar fight seems to escalate, furniture being thrown and weapons are now drawn.]

[redstray]

[ Eric was trying his best but there were just too many people to just deal with his knife and regular fighting. He had to pull out his aura and hope for the best.

At first he brought it out small, enough to do a few knife swings and punches. Maybe it was because he wasn't focusing as well as he should or he bit off more then he could chew in a fight, but the small flame grew too fast and too quickly. He yelped a bit as it got his arm but when he unleashed it it managed to do quite more damage to everyone else then to him. ]

[toremainbehind]

[It was the familiar heat of their Aura that brought Izumo's attention to what was happening inside.

Leaving the unconscious manager on the floor, he hurries out to see the damage, a curse bitten back at seeing how bad it was.

He turns his gaze to Eric, slowly walking over to him so he wouldn't freak out.] Eric. [He calls out his name in English, his tone firm.]

[redstray]

[ He tried to get it back, he did. But when another two thugs came at him with guns it reacted faster then he could. He was trying to remember what Fujishima and Totsuka said about bringing back his aura but his mind was blanking out and he was starting to panic, which only made things worse.

He jumped almost a foot in the air when he heard his name and spun around to see Kusanagi. He was okay, good, good. Eric wasn't which was bad. ]

There were too many and I thought...but...

[toremainbehind]

[Okay, that's a good sign. Eric talking back to him and comprehending what he's saying is good.

What isn't good is how panicked Eric appears to be.

So Izumo steps closer to him until he's standing in front of the younger, his expression never revealing what he's thinking.] It's okay, relax. Calm down. Take some deep breaths.
