***Big THANKS to Kid_Alpha for taking the time to help me beta my work and help me smooth out some of my messy writing. THANK YOU!!!! ***RAPPAPA: Lost and Find - 2*Earlier morning*“Thanks for helping me home, Kitahara-san.” Yui said, grateful for the piggyback ride from these nice people she met yesterday.
“You’re welcome, I’m sure Sasshi would’ve been more than willing to carry you home, but I don’t think she’s fully awake just yet.” Rie said, glancing back towards her sleepwalking leader.
From the dark circles under her eyes and constant yawning, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out said leader didn’t sleep well last night. Hence the reason why Rie was recruited into safely bringing Yui home while the zombie walker tagged along, refusing to stay in bed and insisting she follow along.
“Wow, you live in a pretty big house.” Rie was in awe when she finally spotted the mansion Yui had directed them to. She paused for a step to readjust the weight on her back, giving her sleep-deprived leader some time to catch up.
As they got closer she started to feel uneasy, a thick atmosphere surrounded and pushed against her for every step they took towards the mansion. The girls noticed the gates were left opened, the security cameras were damaged and spots of crimson trailed up towards the front doors with occasional dragging marks.
“Sasshi, Sashihara... leader... WOTA!” Rie shouted out to the walking body beside her, causing the girl to almost trip and fall on her face.
“WHAT?” Sasshi shouted back.
“Something doesn’t feel right...” Rie expressed seriously, motioning towards the open gates.
The two of them kept their guards up, slowly creeping on towards the front gates, once past the metal bars, they stopped at the sight of a few suited bodies left scattered over the lawn. Sasshi quickly put her hands over Yui’s mouth to stop her from screaming and signalled for them to back away from the house, they had to be careful, assuming that the culprits may still be near.
“We should call the police.” Rie suggested once they have retreated to a safer distance.
~~~~~
*Minutes later*Captain Takahashi arrived at the scene promptly after receiving the call from dispatch, normally a simple break and enter didn’’t require their team to investigate but coincidently this house belonged to one of the prime suspects on the Supernote Case. She made her way towards the secured area after stepping out from the patrol car, her partner Maeda Atsuko, Gekikara and Black followed along.
“Who made the report?”, she spoke with authority.
“Captain Takahashi, they’re over there.”, one of the rookies in blue pointed to the side where a few girls were huddle on a bench together, obviously out of place in the sea of police and forensic investigators.
“Can you tell us what happen?” the captain asked when she approached the distraught and distracted girls, one appeared to be on the verge of crying with the other two tried to alleviate her distress.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT! WE ALREADY TOLD-you...” Sasshi started shouting, ready to kill the next person who dared asked them the same question for the millionth time; her voice however, immediately toned down along with her anger after seeing who stood in front of her.
“Maeda-san!”
Sashihara Rino went into shock once she heard soft giggles off to the side and took a quick glance to confirm her suspicions, and it was her worst nightmare. That unforgettable laugh from Gekikara when she played with pens! Within a blink of an eye, the poor girl flipped herself up over the bench, slamming onto the ground and slithering backwards until her back hit the wall behind them.
“Gekikara-san!” Rie shouted in surprise, but managed to stay composed in her seat next to the distressed Yui, the sound of someone clearing their throat could be heard from the last member of the group, who was a little annoyed at being ignored.
“Black-san.” Rie greeted, as she quickly bow her head to acknowledge the Queens of Majijo and Maeda, their unofficial pack leader that had brought them some light within the sea of yankee girls.
“Now can you tell us what happen?” Takamina asked once more, a small frown on her face and little twitches in her brow due to the lack of acknowledgement in comparison to the rest of her team. Her frustration was easily handled when a familiar hand made it’s way towards hers’, extinguishing any ill feelings.
After a long stretch of questions, Captain Takahashi decided to dismiss them so forensic and investigators can concentrate on finding any evidence and clues that could help them piece together what had happened; she sent Gekikara and Black with the three girls to make sure they got home safely.
Remembering back when Rappapa had first joined the force under Takamina’s command, the team decided to split their identities. At work they would continue to use their aliases as a member of Rappapa, but when they were in private or at home they will revert to their real identities; this gave them the advantage at work where their reputations were enough to intimidate some offenders during interrogation.
“Thanks for walking us back home, Gekikara-san and Black-san.” Yui thanked, breaking the silence during the trek back to Maji-Mone.
Other than the thanks spoken by Yui, the trip itself was filled with silence, Sasshi had constantly turned back to check if Gekikara and Black were still following them and half hoped they would somehow wander off. She knew that even if she prayed to the gods her hopes will never be answered, because Captain Takahashi decided it was better for them to leave the scene accompanied by the two Queens. Their purpose was to serve as guardians to protect the only daughter of a man that they have been trying to locate for weeks.
During the initial search around the mansion, the police found no survivors, all the security personnel hired by Yokoyama Takeshi had been killed, the place had been searched and trashed with obvious signs resistance. Fortunately or unfortunately the owner himself, Yui’s father, was nowhere to be found among the corpses that were lined up outside on the yard; with the ongoing investigation happening, Yokoyama Yui had no place left to stay. The bad news just continued to pile up on the poor girl leaving her shocked, speechless, and lost but Sashihara Rino took this opportunity to prove herself, offering Yui a place to stay. Mentioning something about helping people in need but of course the long speech was ignored for the most part as usual.
After today’s event, Takahashi Minami deeply believes Yokoyama Yui will be their only hope in finding leads towards her father, his love for her will not let him abandon her if he was still alive.
~MAJI-MONE Yakiniku~Gekikara looked up at the sign above them before casually asking Black, a very serious life or death question, “Who’s cooking tonight?”
“Shibuya,” that answer was all she needed to know.
She glanced over to Black and found a mirroring smirk from her partner in justice, after a quick eye to eye conversation they nodded and proceed to enter the restaurant.
“Welcome to Maji-Mo........”
“Please have a........”
“What’s wrong?” Moeno asked peeking out from the kitchen, when she noticed the sudden change in atmosphere along with the break in their usual customer greetings.
*PANG*
The sounds of pots & pans hitting the ground could be heard throughout the restaurant as Gekikara and Black sat down at a table on the opposite corners of the restaurant, once comfortable they occupied themselves by playing on their respective phones, disregarding the reactions from the rest of Team Hormone. Unbeknownst to the restaurant owners, Gekikara and Black were doing their best in keeping their cool and trying not laugh their hearts out of their chests from the expressions they were seeing. Out of the corner of their eye, they could see a confused Yui watching as the members of Team Hormone pushed and shoved each other to see who will bring out the tea. Gekikara and Black ignored all of what was going on and kept their focus on the screen of their phones.
[The girls will be here shortly, seems like they were in a hurry to get out of the house ~ Yuki]
[I’m sure they just wanted to avoid Tomochin’s cooking. It packs more of a punch than when she goes as Shibuya ~Rena]
[It packs more of a punch then you and I! We should have some more fun while we can ~ Yuki]
[*shivers* I can feel the evilness escaping from you, your highness, but what do you suggest? ~ Rena]
[Do you still have your pen with you? *evil grins* Take it out and start giggling. ~ Yuki]
Doing exactly as suggested, Rena slowly reached into her jacket and pulled out her favorite pen then started to spin and inspected the item in her hand. Occasionally she would add random giggles and head tilts where it was appropriate, to give her acting the finishing touch. Yuki on the other hand secretly placed her phone on the table, so the camera could capture the priceless reactions from the members of Team Hormone.
It may come in handy for future uses, maybe just for laughs or maybe just more, maybe they could show it to Mariko, she will definitely think of a way to utilize this video.
While this was happening, Black couldn’t help but praise Gekikara’s acting, definitely a natural with skills. Sadly fun times never last. The door to the restaurant opened and couple of very familiar voices broke their perfectly plotted performance.
“Rena,” the super energetic Jurina made a beeline towards Gekikara who quickly put away her pen, turning over to accept a crushing hug from the younger girl.
“Thanks to you, we don’t have to eat at home tonight.” Sae said, coming up from behind Black and leaning over to plant a kiss on her cheek.
If Team Hormone was broken before then their minds must have just completed exploded, seeing the formerly emotionless and feared Queens show overly excessive affection right in front of their eyes; their heart and minds could only handle so much damage in a day and with the overload of sensations, they blacked out one by one.
“AH!” Yui accidentally let out a scream when five bodies crashed to the floor around her.
“Will they be okay?” a confused Jurina asked, only to receive a coupe of shrugs for an answer.
~~~~~
*Some nights later in the dark*“Takamina, it’s getting late we should head back and continue this tomorrow.” Acchan suggested, trying to convince their fearless leader to call it a night.
For the past few days, they have been working late into the night trying to find any trace of evidence at the Yokoyama mansion, hoping to get a lead to the disappearance of Yokoyama Takeshi, former right wing man to Kudo. Shibuya and Torigoya were sent to monitor and observe their other suspect, Kurohara Ken-Yokoyama’s rival, former left wing man to Kudo. It was known that they had a falling out after Kudo was arrested, both wanting to gain more territory as well as take over the financial sectors of their organization, the sudden flood of counterfeit bills was a result of the uncontrolled production and distribution when both tried to push for an increase in profit within their own division.
Captain Takahashi concluded that the attack on Yokoyama was tied to the sudden disappearance of the metallic plates in the organization. Reliable sources told them the organization was currently on a hunt for those priceless plates, and there were direct orders to removed any obstacles without question. With this information, Team Rappapa was tight on time as it was important that they find these plates before they landed into the wrong hands.
“Just a little longer Acchan, I think...” Takamina started to say before turning around and shouted towards the direction where she sensed movement, “WHO’S THERE!”.
Both Takamina and Acchan ran to catch up to the two mysterious shadows that speeded away from the mansion, they were dressed in an all black attire with a mask covering their faces. Of course being the taller one, Acchan made it to the suspects first and blocked them from escaping while Takamina trapped them from the behind.
“You have nowhere to run, surrender now.” Takamina warned, Acchan just let out a sigh from her partner’s antics. From experience, no one would willingly surrender from just a warning, usually they would have a bit of fun roughing up their victims...errrr suspects before they could see the white flags of submission.
This time of course wouldn’t be any different.
Acchan stood there with a bored inattentive look, when she intercepted an incoming kick from one of the shadow.
“Torigoya can do better, and she’s doesn’t even like to get physical.” Acchan said in spite, a bit of anger will be enough to mess up his formation plus, it was always fun to play with their prey.
The towering shadow tried to throw a couple of sloppy punches towards Acchan, only to have her easily block them and push them away. From their size and body built, it was easy to identify their gender, unless they were females on a lot of steroids then that would be a new story all by itself. Even when facing the unknown, Acchan firmly controlled the flow of the fight and dominated her weak opponent, she glanced over to Takamina and found her love being bullied by the other unidentified person. That two seconds of distraction almost gave her opponent a chance to bruise her precious face, but being Maeda Atsuko, daughter of the best leader of Yabakune, she would never lose when she was serious.
“MAJIDAYO!” Acchan shouted, dodging the first punch then luring her opponent to close the distance between them. Taking this opportunity, she grabbed onto his outstretched arm, pulling him off balance then connecting a left hook to his temple; she then followed up with a couple more punches to the guys masked face and using her bodies momentum, she did a spin and backhand him in the face, finally completed the whole series with a perfect kick to the chest. The body flew a couple of meters into the wall before falling helplessly to the ground, his arms gave out when he tried to get up, putting him in perfect planking position on the ground.
Once confirmed that Mr. shadow will not get up anymore, Atsuko ran over to help her Minami. In slow motion, she could see Mr. Blackie throw a strong jab towards an opening in her Captain’s defense. Doing the only thing she could think of, Acchan quickly dropped to the ground and executed a perfect leg sweep on Takamina, causing the little one to lose her balance and fall backwards, barely escaping the incoming hit.
The sudden loss of a target caused Mr. Blackie to stumble with his footing, Takamina took this as an opportunity to replicate the same leg sweep and successfully taking down her opponent. Acchan delivered the finishing touch with a flying spin kick to the back, slamming Mr. Blackie face first onto the ground in another absolute planking position, if only someone was there to take their picture.
“No one hurts my Takamina but me.” Acchan threatened, causing the little captain to sweat drop behind her.
“Ah! Mr. Shadow got away.” Acchan pointed to the missing body that was suppose to be lying beside the wall.
“Mr. Shadow? What?” asked the confused Captain
“Nevermind, I was just bored. Let’s just take Mr. Blackie in already.”
Captain Takahashi was a loss for words, but in the back of her mind she knew Acchan must have raided the sweets at home when no one was looking, it had to be the cause.. right?
*~Majisuka Rock n’ Roll, motto honki de ikiyo...~*
“Hello?” Takamina answered upon hearing a familiar ringtone coming from her pocket.
“WHAT! Stay there, we will be there when we finish up here.” She spoke into the phone before turning towards her partner, “Maji-mone was attacked, some guys went and trashed the place, scaring off a bunch of customers. Yuko and Sado are there right now. The rest of the crew is heading there too.”
“Let’s wrap it up quickly, I’m hungry I can use some nice Hormone yakiniku,” Acchan said, while dragging the unconscious Mr. Blackie towards their car with one hand.
Captain Takahashi could only watch with more sweat dripipng down her forehead.
“TakaMinaaaa~” the sweet and sugar-coated words travelled through the night towards the rooted captain, urging her to hurry before she was subjected to their consequences.
