CONVERGENCE [S]

Situated on the fifth floor of Casino Starlight, Yumi's office was decorated to evoke the ambience of a traditional Japanese tea house.[break][break]

Delicate paintings and scrolls bearing beautiful calligraphy adorned walls of dark wood. A bonsai tree sat at a corner of her desk, while a ceramic tea set painted with a minimalist wave pattern graced the center of a table surrounded by low, cushioned seats.[break][break]

Neither the tea set nor the table were in use at the moment, however. Instead, Yumi sat at her desk, signing off on the booking of her casino for a winter sports event. Imagining how odd it would be to see guests carrying skis and snowboards through the halls brought an amused smile to her lips.[break][break]

A knock at the door drew her out of her thoughts. Her Liepard, curled up at the side of her desk, raised his head. "What is it?"[break][break]

Her assistant peered inside. "A woman named is here to see you, Miss Hasegawa. She says she knows Hitoshi."[break][break]

Yumi arched an eyebrow at the unfamiliar name. "Thank you. You can let her in."

Yumi's eyes sparkled with amusement at the mention of her roommate and best friend, . The night of the grand reopening had been a whirlwind of activity; though she'd caught sight of Mei during it, she hadn't seen her friend with Marza.[break][break]

"Thank you," Yumi said, receiving the compliment with a preening smile. "Shall I give you a tour? That way you can decide how best to provide supplemental security for the holiday party."[break][break]

As they were already on the first floor, she started there, indicating with professional efficiency the various facilities and services provided to guests: the swimming pool, fitness center, sauna and spa, and salon.[break][break]

At the foot of the stairs leading up to the casino proper, Yumi raised her eyebrow at Marza. "So how do you know Mei? She's a good friend of mine."

The clicking of heels preceded Yumi's entrance into the casino's grand foyer. Passing staff murmured their greetings as she passed them, but she didn't once look in their direction.[break][break]

Instead, she fixed her gaze upon the ancient crone knitting yarn as she awaited Yumi's arrival. As the distance closed between them, the younger woman scrutinized the elder's features.[break][break]

She didn't recognize the visitor at all, but some of the features in her face were undeniably familiar. Yumi knew them from her father's face, and her uncle's.[break][break]

And her own.[break][break]

Before she could speak, the crone was upon her, embracing both her and Hitoshi in fierce hugs. Yumi shot a questioning glance at her bodyguard before extracting herself from the other woman's arms with grace and dignity.[break][break]

"My name is Yumi Hasegawa, and I'm the owner of this casino. I was told you wanted to speak to me," she hesitated, uncertain of the best way to address the woman, then settled on: "Grandmother."

Amid the conversation happening around her, Yumi caught sight of seated at the bar just as he gave her a casual wink across the space between them. She returned the gesture with a smile; she had no doubt there'd be time to speak with him in a little while.[break][break]

Or so she thought. When stepped into her field of vision to speak with Nikkari, however, her curiosity got the better of her.[break][break]

"It was lovely to meet you, but I must be making my rounds," Yumi said to the woman whose name she'd already forgotten (), flashing her a parting smile full of charm and promise.[break][break]

Weaving through the crowd of Rockets with her Tsareena at her side, Yumi made her way to the bar to greet the two men. On her way, she glanced around for but did not see him.[break][break]

What she did see was even more peculiar: Nikkari spotting something past Jayden's shoulder and freezing up, a strange expression overtaking his face. Yumi followed his line of sight to , who quickly averted her gaze.[break][break]

When Yumi looked back at Nikkari, he, too, had looked away. His expression, however, lingered.[break][break]

"Admin Cross, good evening," the woman exclaimed as she sidled up beside Jayden, her smile for him familiar and amused. "It's been a while, hasn't it? How are you and Fern? Is he here, too?"[break][break]

Without waiting for Jayden's response, she raised her eyebrow at Nikkari. "And good evening to you too, Nikkari. What's got you so spooked? You look like you've seen a ghost."

The more Lex spoke, the more Yumi wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her until she knew sense again. Instead, she kept her hands to herself and made a noise of disapproval at Lex's sarcasm.[break][break]

Finally, when it seemed that her friend's patience had worn thin, Yumi answered, "I'm here for you. And not because someone told me to. I'm here because I hadn't heard from you in months and I grew worried."[break][break]

She glanced at the unknown drink in Lex's glass but suppressed a frown. Her resting bitch face was enough.[break][break]

"Come with me," Yumi said, sliding off the barstool. Gesshoku stirred, ready to follow his mistress. "We're getting something decent for dinner, not whatever McDonald's you've had for three days in a row."[break][break]

Though she'd guessed with that last remark, she wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what Lex had been eating.

There was only one man he could be: . Yumi knew—more from secondhand sources than from Lex herself—that the woman loved him. She didn't know the exact extent, but seeing Lex in her current state suggested her affection had run deep.[break][break]

That it still did.[break][break]

But whether Killian was actually dead was not known. Team Rocket's records officially labeled him as 'missing', which could have meant anything. No one had any idea if he would return, either.[break][break]

Lex's lover was as good as dead, and there was no reason to reassure her otherwise.[break][break]

"I'm sorry," Yumi said at last, meaning it. Though her heart was closed off to romance, that didn't mean she'd never been in love.[break][break]

Still, that didn't mean she was a font of compassion and empathy.[break][break]

"Is this how you think he'd want to see you? Drinking and fighting yourself to death? When was the last time you ate something, Lex?"

"I beg to differ," Yumi said, arching an eyebrow at Nikkari's proclamation at not being an interesting man. "It takes certain skills and a certain attitude to be a supervisor, especially for our kind of work. Not everyone can act in that role well."[break][break]

'Our', because she felt they had reached a new level of understanding. As kindred spirits, perhaps.[break][break]

She fell silent as he explained how he'd come to be established in Hoenn. Recognition entered her eyes at the mention of , followed by delight as Nikkari complimented her yet again.[break][break]

"I'm glad you decided to stay in the region. There's a lot of opportunity here, which is why I stay, too. Johto is overrun with families like mine, and I wouldn't have the room to grow as I'd like."

"Just Gesshoku. You remember him, right?" Yumi said, gesturing to her Seviper, who coiled up between the crowd and the two women at the bar.[break][break]

She slipped into the seat next to Lex. The bartender approached to offer her a drink, but she waved him off with a manicured hand without even bothering to glance over. Instead, she gave her childhood friend a critical once-over, noting the unwashed hair and stained clothes.[break][break]

"Do you really think this place is the best use of your time and skills?" she asked with a frown. Her tone carried an undeniable undercurrent of judgment, but Lex should know that was how Yumi normally spoke. "What happened, Lex?"

Yumi's smile widened to mirror Xenon's. "You're too kind. And no, your technicians had no trouble at all. I think everything is working perfectly, based on what I can hear of Beast ."[break][break]

Her smile turned mischievous, but only for a moment. The sound of her name spoken by an unfamiliar voice prompted Yumi to turn and acknowledge the new arrival with a charming smile.[break][break]

was a woman she had never met before, though she clearly knew Yumi. The casino's owner extended her hand toward the redhead for a handshake.[break][break]

"Thank you. Your dress is equally stunning," she offered back as a compliment, taking in all the details of the outfit with a designer's eye. "But I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage. You know my name but I don't believe I know yours."

Underground fighting arenas were common institutions in the criminal underworld. Though Yumi had not spent much time visiting them when she was still heiress to her family's fortune and legacy, she was not ignorant to the sort of unruly individuals that flocked to their rings.[break][break]

As she walked through the sweaty mob, a rare gem in their midst, she kept an eye out for any aggressors. At her side slithered her Seviper, a sufficient warning for those who might try to approach her.[break][break]

The man at the door had identified Lex easily enough when Yumi described her to him, while discreetly passing him a 100 PD bill. She followed his direction to the bar, where a certain redhead was downing shots as if her sanity depended on it.[break][break]

"It's been a long time, Lex," Yumi said, her voice calm and level. "I was wondering if you were even still alive."

The Dragons, Nikkari said. It was Yumi's turn to arch her eyebrow, but the expression was one of appreciation, from one criminal to another.[break][break]

"As am I," she said, eyes flickering around the room to ensure their privacy. She took a leisurely sip of her wine before continuing, "You'd think that being kicked out of my family's home would mean I'd choose to do something unconnected to them.[break][break]

"My parents and grandfather trained me too well, however. I'm good at what I do, so why let those skills go to waste?"
[break][break]

Of course, while the Hasegawas owned several restaurants, hotels, and gambling parlors in Johto, she did not speak solely of running a casino.[break][break]

Yumi regarded Nikkari with a hungry curiosity. "What habits have you found yourself returning to, in recent years?"

Yumi saw the way Nikkari's golden eyes flashed with a certain darkness. His look carried the weight of loss and the hunger of ambition. And as he drew near to top off her wine glass, the low tone by which he spoke made her heart skip a beat.[break][break]

Though their origins differed greatly, somehow, they were alike in many more ways.[break][break]

"I like to think I know a considerable amount about you, Nikkari," Yumi said, her cheeks flushed by more than just the wine. Still, she spoke with a measured confidence, her smile full of pride and mischief. "Your love of wine, your work in real estate, your interests here in Hoenn.[break][break]

"But I don't think I know enough."
Idly, she ran her hand through the lower tresses of her hair, drawing the black locks over one shoulder. "I want to know more about you and your legacy."[break][break]

Picking up her glass, she sipped her wine without taking her eyes off him. Try me, said her open stare, defiant and eager.

ROCKET HOLIDAY PARTY ❄️ (MEGA SOCIAL)

As the owner of the casino, Yumi had been the actual first person to arrive. She'd spent the entire day doing last-minute checks on every aspect of the party that fell under her purview. One hand was constantly on her phone, texting and to coordinate with them.[break][break]

When an underboss of Team Rocket decided to use your place of business as the venue for their massive celebration, you did not walk, but instead ran, to ensure a perfect execution.[break][break]

At the appointed hour, everything was in its place. All the lights were working, mistletoe had been hung in both romantic and unexpected places, and fake turtledoves sat on garlands of fresh pine.[break][break]

Yumi found it strange to walk through the empty rooms and halls that normally bustled with all kinds of patrons, Rocket and civilian alike. Even the casino was dead silent, save for the game staff hurrying to their stations.[break][break]

And then the first guests began to trickle in.[break][break]

"Xenon, how charming," Yumi said to , her dark gaze assessing the other woman's attire while her painted lips offered a saccharine smile.[break][break]

At her side, her shadow Tsareena cast a cool glance at Xenon's Gengar.[break][break]

Out of the corner of Yumi's eye, she spotted with her blue Unown-K and recalled the last encounter with the Head Scientist. There had been something going on between her and .[break][break]

Yumi's expression soured. Was Parker going to be there tonight?[break][break]

Well, it didn't matter. Yumi knew how to be civil in public.

Ever since had reached out to Yumi about hosting Team Rocket's holiday party at Casino Starlight, the young Johtonian's schedule had become even busier than usual. Meetings filled her time: to discuss the party's logistics and decorations, to organize food and drink, to iron out details for security.[break][break]

She paused in the spacious fifth floor hallway that led to the various restaurants within the casino, bringing one such meeting to a close. At her side was , the head of the building's security.[break][break]

"I think that's all we have to worry about," Yumi said to him, her thoughts still dwelling on their earlier conversation about whether to allow Legendary Pokémon inside the building.[break][break]

Between the unpredictable Tapu Koko and Lugia's intense aura, they'd decided on a resounding 'no'.[break][break]

Before she could suggest they take a break from all the planning and get something to eat, however, a concierge from the front desk approached.[break][break]

"Miss Hasegawa? Someone is here to see you."[break][break]

Yumi raised an eyebrow. "Who is it?"[break][break]

"Her name is . She doesn't have an appointment, but she insists on meeting 'the Hasegawa who owns this place'."[break][break]

Time slowed around Yumi. Marilyn Hasegawa was not a name she'd heard in a long time. Her grandfather's first wife, she had been arrested and charged with first degree murder. Marilyn was supposed to be imprisoned for life.[break][break]

"Thank you. I'll see her right away," Yumi said to the concierge, not bothering to hide her shock and suspicion. "Hitoshi, come with me please."

Nikkari described such a different upbringing compared with Yumi's. She listened in respectful silence, giving him her undivided attention, trying to imagine the affluent man she knew as an impoverished little boy.[break][break]

New money was not an unfamiliar concept to her. She'd met plenty of young fools at Wyndon University who thought the wealth gained from their investments and startups put them on equal footing with her.[break][break]

But Yumi and her peers hailed from another time and place. She had grown up among an elite class that knew not only how to grow wealth wisely but manage it for the benefit of generations.[break][break]

And until Nikkari's admission to his own humble beginnings, she would have thought him among that prestigious group. That he wasn't did not sully him in her mind, however. Instead, she regarded him with a new respect.[break][break]

"You've come a long way since then," Yumi observed, genuine admiration in her voice and expression. "Did your family's business play any part in that?"[break][break]

The implication was not lost on her. After all, family business was the reason for her own success, at least until her exile. And even now, in Hoenn, those lessons guided her.
