Fate Intervenes

Akira x Wick!Reader

For @morbiusmarauder

The Osaka Continental was under siege. You and your father John Wick, in one of the rare instances, were in the same place at the same time. You were just hoping for a moment of peace with your father but of course, there's no peace with being a Wick.

You and John separated during the fight. You stayed with Akira and Shimazu. You shared little looks of concern with Akira as Shimazu hobbled along.

You exchanged fire with a couple more thugs from the High Table. Akira pulled along her father, "Father we must go"

Shimazu, a man who had been like family to you, clutched his side and shown red on his palm. Akira's eyes locked with yours, pleading.

"We'll get you out of here, sir" you promised as you began the trek down the back way of the Continental.

"Where did he go?" the blind assassin asks the three of you as he blocks the way.

"Caine" you huff, "Shimazu's wounded. Let us pass"

"I can't do that" Caine answers back, "do you know the price of family?"

"They threaten your daughter?" You ask. Akira looks to you and then to Caine in shock.

"Yes." Caine remarks, tapping his sword on the ground. "The one good thing in my life."

"Such is life" you huff. Shizamu takes a stand and readies his sword.

"Let the young ones pass" the older man begs his former friend. "I only speak as a father to another father"

"Please don't do this" Caine's mouth shows a deep frown, one that's bathed in regret as he readies his own sword.

"Sir" you approach Shizamu, "please we'll find another-"

"Protect your family...and mine" Shizamu looks to you, begging you to guide Akira to safety. A little more blood leaks from his wound.

"I am" you answer back before raising your side arm and shooting Caine in the neck. A small dart hits him a split second later.

"They can't hold that against your daughter, Caine." you smirk.

"Be seeing you" Caine smiles as he collapses to the asphalt.

'Be seeing you" you answer back as you grab ahold of Shizamu and limp past the knocked out Caine.

"You keep tranquilizer darts on you?" Akira looks at you concerned.

"Figured they send Caine after my Dad," you admit, "always be prepared for little to no collateral damage"

You load Shizamu into a jeep, Akira jumps in the passenger seat, "I owe you"

"You owe me nothing." you state as you speed out of the Continental. "Gotta get your father some place safe."

"Not that I am not grateful, young Wick" Shizamu winces from the pain, "but that was not exactly honorable."

"I don't think the Marquis de Gramont cares about honor, sir" you answer back as you hold up one of his goon's pins.

"High Table?" Akira readies her own gun

"Some french stooge trying to make a name for himself within the ranks of it." you retort.

"Your father will need your aid." Shizamu speaks up, "both of you" he gestures to you and Akira.

"What do you say, ma'am?" you smile at Akira, "truce?"

"Truce" she smiles back. A small smile made it's way across Shizamu's face.

You'd eventually get Shizamu to the medical attention that he needed. As for you and Akira, the two of you set out to locate Jonathan Wick. The Baba Yaga was going to need all the help he could get.

"Hey, I know the day's already passed and all, but it took me a bit longer than I wanted, to finish my gift to you." She had it held behind her back to keep it from being seen, but once she revealed it, it was a wooden sword, an almost replica of Toyo's wakizashi- at least she hoped. On one side of the oak blade, there was Japanese lettering: Wherever in the world Toyohisa goes, Xiu will follow. She hoped that didn't sound too weird. "I hope you like it; Merry Christmas," she smiles softly.

 “Huh?” He takes the wooden sword and looks at the characters engraved on it. He blushes pink as he rereads the words over and over again. 

He will cherish this. 

“T-thank you so much, Xiu! I-I really love it.” Toyohisa stuttered unaware of which Oda and Yoichi around the corner are overhearing their conversation. “I-I also have a gift for you a-and.” Oh Kami, he hopes the gift is on par with Xiu’s gift to him.  It was a rectangle green gift and he opens it to show her. 

It was a long golden-color ribbon attached to the small metal 2D sculpture of a dragon,a long. “It’s a charm for you around your waist whenever you go out to the b-battlefield and-” As he continues to rabble since he’s nervous about the gift, there was also Chinese lettering on the ribbon that says “You are my great boldest flame to my heart, always remember.- Shizamu Toyohisa.” 

“I-I hope you like it! Merry Christmas, Xiu!”
