    Summary

    “Yeah. I’d like to call someone, please.”

    The cop sat there for a while, as if waiting for Ichiban to add “your mom, so she can know I won’t make it to our date tonight”. It was tempting, but there was one phone number etched in his memory.
    It had been beaten into him twenty years ago, in fact.

    In which Ichiban calls Sawashiro to the rescue when he's arrested, and Hawaii has to cope.

    Summary

    “You’ve never kissed a girl, have you, Ichi?”

    Ichi’s stare goes from him to Akiko on his lap, and back, and again, but it’s Jo he looks at when he shakes his head. Good.

    "Why don't you have a go?" Jo suggests airily, running his fingers through Akiko’s hair. She’s sweating bullets, poor thing. He doesn't miss the way her cheeks flush, though.

    He’s doing him a favor, Jo decides. In the good spirit of Christmas. And if making Ichi suffer happens to be one of his favorite hobbies, well, it’s only incidental.

    Summary

    This close, Majima can smell him: cigarettes and beer on his breath, the scent of Kanrai’s grills still clinging to his hair, the faint hint of his sweat underneath it all. He feels a little twinge in his guts as he whispers loudly, “I’m sorry no one’s givin’ you any proper coachin’, Kiryu-chan.”

    Back in 1993, the Mad Dog of Shimano tangled with the Dragon of Dojima — first in the Orchid Palace, and then in the alley behind it. Years later, they’re both still thinking about it.

    Summary

    In these rare moments of quiet, when Kiryu was left on his own with nothing ahead and nothing behind, his mind always strayed to the same thought like an animal licking a wound.

    What was he doing?

    (Kiryu's accumulated a bit too much heat from the cops and is forced to skip town for a while. Luckily his caring superior Majima is around to help him pass the time.)
