Chapter 16: Danger
In the morning
At Kuu's house
In Atsuko's roomAtsuko wakes up after a long and peaceful sleep. She sits up and stretches her arms. She smiles when she remembers what happened last night
Flashback
In the shipAfter Atsuko finally was able to calm Yuki down, Now Yuki is back on her room and rest. Everyone stays in the room to watch over her. They afraid that she will lose her control again.
In the eveningYuki wakes up. She sits up and sees Atsuko is sitting on the chair opposite with her. She is about to call her, but Atsuko gives her a sign of silent.
Then Atsuko points to the direction of everyone. Yuki looks around. She sees everyone is sleeping in her room. Jun, Rena, Yuu, Haruna, Mii and Mariko rest their head on the table and sleep. Mayu leans on the head of her bed and sleeps while holding her hand. Minami sits on the chairs and leans his head to the back and sleep.
"Everyone." She looks around and smiles happily at Atsuko.
Atsuko smiles back at her. Yuki slowly steps down from her bed. Then Yuki and Atsuko slowly walk out from the room. They walk up to the deck and silently look at the sea
"Atsuko-nee, thank you" Yuki breaks the silent.
Atsuko looks at her and smile brightly. Yuki is confused. She asks
"Why did you smile?"
"I'm happy because you call me like that again." Atsuko cheerfully said.
Yuki looks at her and smiles.
"Yuki" Atsuko gently calls her
Yuki turns and looks at Atsuko.
"Do you feel that, Yuki?" Atsuko said
Yuki looks at her with confused look
"What is it? Atsuko-nee" Yuki asks
"Everyone really cares for you. Therefore, don't push us away anymore, Yuki." Atsuko sincerely said.
"Even though you are his daughter, you are you, and he is him. Don't blame all his works into yourself." Atsuko said and pats Yuki's head
Yuki is silent and looks down.
"In addition, as Minami said, it is not entirely his fault. He was tricked. The truth is I used to hate him very much. However, after hearing uncle Riku's story, I know how he feels. The one I hate the most is the person behind Daiki. He is the one on blame for you, me, Minami, and other misfortune." Atsuko looks at Yuki and gently said.
Yuki hugs her tightly
"Thank you Atsuko-nee. Thank you for accepting me" she said in tear and tightens her hugs
"Silly, you are my sister. You don't need to thank me. No matter what you will always be my most precious sister" Atsuko said and strokes Yuki's hair.
After awhile the ship reaches the island.
"We finally back to the island. Let call everyone Yuki." Atsuko smile and pulls Yuki with her.
End flashbackAtsuko happily steps down from her bed. She walks toward the door and opens it. She takes a walk in the forest. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to feel the fresh air.
Suddenly a pair of arms hugs her from behind, and a voice whispers into her ear.
"You seem to be very happy today."
"Minami" she calls in surprise and turns around.
Atsuko hugs him back and asks
"Why did you wake up so early?"
"You too" Minami said.
"The conversation on the ship between you and Yuki make you happy right, Atsuko?" Minami said while resting his head on her shoulder.
"Uh, Yuki finally understand. She will not blame herself anymore. Plus, she calls me her sister again." Atsuko happily said.
"I'm glad." Minami said.
"Let take a walk around." Minami holds Atsuko's hand and said.
"Atsuko, what are you going to do now?" Minami asks
"Uhm...I'm not sure. The only clues we got is the knife with Maeda clan crest." Atsuko said.
"So, you plan on going back to Maeda clan to investigate about that?" Minami asks.
"Uhm… I guess that is only way for us." Atsuko said.
While they are walking, Minami sees something.
"Atsuko, there is something over there. Look like someone is lying." Minami said and points to the direction.
"Let take a look." Atsuko said and runs to the place.
"A man, he is injured." Atsuko said.
"His injuries look very serious. Let’s take him to Mayu" Minami said.
When Minami turns the man around, they shout in surprise
"Kashiwagi Ryu."
Then Minami carries him back to the house. He brings him to an empty room while Atsuko goes and calls Mayu. Atsuko runs to Mayu's room and knocks.
"Mayu, Mayu. I need you to treat someone." she said
Mayu opens the door and asks
"Atsuko-nee, what happened?" Mayu asks
"This is an urgent situation. Take your medical box with me. I will tell you more detail later." Atsuko hurriedly said.
"Ok, give me a second" Mayu said and runs back to his room.
After that he follows her to the room.
On their way "When Minami and I were walking in the forest, we saw an injured man. Therefore we brought him back here. When we turned him around to see his face, he is..." Atsuko pauses
Mayu looks at her with curious look
"He is Kashiwagi Ryu." Atsuko said
Mayu widens his eyes in surprise.
In the roomAtsuko and Minami sit and wait for Mayu to treat Ryu. After a while, Mayu finished treating Ryu's injuries.
"How is he now Mayu?" Atsuko asks.
"He lost a lot of blood, but luckily all his injuries are not in any serious parts. Therefore, he is fine. He will wake up soon. I will go and make medicine for him." Mayu said
"Thank you Mayu." Minami said.
"No problem. You two don't have to thank me" Mayu said and smiles.
"Mayu" Atsuko calls him.
"Yes?" Mayu turns and looks at Atsuko
"Please keep this from everyone, especially Yuki. When the time comes, I will tell her." Atsuko said and Mayu nods
Then he leaves the room.
Several hours later Mayu comes back with the medicine. After giving Ryu medicine, Mayu goes back to his room. Atsuko and Minami sit there and watch over Ryu.
At noonYuki wakes up. She comes to the main house to meet everyone. However, she does not see Atsuko and Minami.
"Where is Atsuko-nee and Takamina?" Yuki asks.
"I heard the servant said that they left the house from early morning" Mii said.
"Maybe they are walking around the forest. They will be back soon, I think." Yuu said
"Atsuko-nee and Takamina said that they have something to do. Maybe they will be back late." Mayu said.
"Oh, I see" Yuki said.
Then they sit in the room and talk to each other.
In the evening
At Ryu's roomHe slowly wakes up. He sees strange scenery. He immediately sits up, but his wounds cause him to groan in pain.
"You just wake up. Don't move too much"
He turns and looks at the sources of the sound. He sees Minami and Atsuko, and Atsuko is sleeping soundly on Minami’s shoulder.
"It is you. The bodyguard's son" Ryu said
"My name is Takahashi Minami." Minami said
"Since you hate me very much, why did you save me?" Ryu asks.
"Even though we really hate you. Especially me, I really want to kill you when you nearly kill Atsuko. However I know that you also are a pawn in Daiki and his boss game. You are a victim just like us." Minami said.
Ryu hears Minami said. He just looks down and stays silent.
"Plus, you are Yuki's father" Atsuko wakes up and said.
"I know you love her and want to see her very much. Although you are hurt so bad, you still tried your best to come here, right?" Atsuko looks at Ryu and said
"Yes, she is my only daughter. 22 years, I thought that she was dead. Now I can see her again. She grew up into a strong and beauty girl. She looks just like her mother." He said and looks at his necklace.
"I'm very happy that I can see her again. I know that I don't have the right to call her again. It is because of me, of my past that Juri and her suffered a lot. However, I just want to see her again and hear her calling "father" again." He said sadly.
He stands up from his bed, and kneels down in front of Atsuko and Minami. Seeing that, they quickly rush to Ryu and help him up
"What are you doing? You just woke up. Even though your wounds are not serious, they are also not small injuries. You have to stay in bed and rest." Atsuko said.
Then Minami tries to help Ryu, but he pushes them away.
"I want to apologize to you two. I know my apologies will never be enough for what you two had suffered. I promise when I meet Yuki again, I will bring my life here for you two." Ryu sincerely said.
"We don't want your life. Just become a responsible father for Yuki." Atsuko said
"If you do that, your apology to us is completed." Minami said.
Ryu is surprised by the two.
"Wait here, I will go and talk to Yuki. Then I will bring her here." Atsuko said and leaves
When Atsuko opens the door, she sees Yuki standing in front of her with teary eyes.
"Yuki" Atsuko calls her in surprised tone
"What are you doing here?" Atsuko asks
Yuki doesn't say anything. She turns around and runs back to her room.
"Yuki" Atsuko calls and runs after her.
"Sorry Takamina, Yuki saw me making medicine. She knows that is medicine for injury. She thought something happened to Atsuko-nee. Therefore she was very worry and kept asking me. She nearly cries, so I have to tell her the truth" Mayu looks down and said.
"It is ok Mayu. Atsuko also tends to tell her now." Minami said and pats Mayu's shoulder.
Atsuko chases after Yuki to her room. She knocks the door
"Yuki, can I come in?" Atsuko gently asks
Yuki just stays silent.
"Yuki, I'm sorry for keeping secret about him here from you. I just want to prepare everything before telling you. I want you to know he is here in the best condition." Atsuko said.
Yuki still doesn't say anything.
"Yuki, I know you still cannot accept him completely. However, I think that you also heard what he said right. He truly loves you. Even though he was injured very badly, he still tried to get here just because of you. Of course, you don't have to accept him right away. Just give him a chance to be your father again." Atsuko said with a soft voice
When Atsuko is about to knock again, Yuki opens the door. Atsuko is happy when she sees Yuki
"Yuki, I'm very sorry for keeping this from you" Atsuko sincerely said and bows.
Yuki holds Atsuko’s shoulders
"It is ok Atsuko-nee, I know you did that for my sake." Yuki said and smiles.
"Are you ok, Yuki?" Atsuko asks in concern tone.
"Yes, I'm fine" Yuki said
"It is ok if you don't want to meet him right now. You can prepare yourself until you can accept him." Atsuko said.
"It is ok. I will go and talk to him." Yuki said
"So, let's go" Atsuko smiles and holds Yuki's hand.
In the room"I hope Yuki will be ok." Mayu worriedly said
"Don't worry Mayu. Atsuko will be able to talk to her." Minami said.
Then they hear the knocking sound
"Come in" Minami said.
Atsuko steps in with Yuki. Seeing Yuki, Ryu quickly sit up, but his movement causes him pain. He is frowning. Suddenly, a pair and of hands touch his shoulders and gently pushes him to lie back
"Yuki" he calls her name when seeing her in front of him
"Your injuries have not recovered yet. Just lie down" Yuki said
"T…thank you, Yuki" he happily said
Ryu is very happy because Yuki concerns about him. Minami looks at Atsuko and Mayu. Then they slowly step out of the room and return to the main house.
At the main house"Where did you guys go? And where is Yuki now?" Mariko asks
"Yuki is talking with Kashiwagi Ryu" Atsuko answers
"What?" everyone shouts in surprise.
"We found him at the forest this morning." Minami explains
Then they tell them about Kashiwagi Ryu
In the roomThere is an awkward silence filling the room. Ryu is sitting on the bed and looking down, while Yuki is sitting on the chair and looking outside the window.
"Uhm....Yuki" Ryu breaks the silent
Yuki looks at him with surprised look
"Sorry.... Can I call you that?" Ryu asks
"Uhm... Ok, I don't mind." Yuki reluctantly said.
"What do you want?" Yuki asks
"I just want to ask you how you are doing those years." Ryu gently said
"I'm fine. Atsuko-nee treats me very well. She loves me more than anything." Yuki said
"Every day to me is very wonderful. I enjoy every day with her. She is very important to me." Yuki smiles while looking out of the window.
"Then I found the loved of my life. Mayu is very nice. He takes care of me and always stays by my side. To sum up, even we face dangerous situation every day, every day to me is greatest." Yuki said and smiles.
Ryu is very happy when seeing Yuki’s smile. He also smiles to himself.
“I’m glad that you are happy.” Ryu said.
Then the room is filled with silent again.
“How are your wounds?” Yuki looks at him and asks
“I’m fine now. Thank you” Ryu said and smiles
“Yuki, I’m sorry.” Ryu said and looks down
Yuki stays silent and looks at Ryu
“I attacked you and Maeda Atsuko and nearly killed her. I also kidnapped you and Riku’s daughter. I know that I don’t have the right to ask you call me “father” again. I only have one wish is can you forgive me?” Ryu continues
Yuki frowns her eyes and looks at him
“You know when I saw Atsuko-nee was lying on her bed and unconscious, I was really mad. Then Mayu said that her condition was very bad, I swore that I will kill you if something bad happen to her.” Yuki raises her voice
“Luckily that she is healed now. I don’t really care about you captured me. The information that made me shocked is you are my father.” Yuki said in tear.
Ryu looks down.
“My father is the one that killed my sister's parent. They are also my adopted parent." Yuki continues
"Do you know what did I feel at that time? Totally broke down. I want to die. I want to die to ease my pain, to think that is the best way to repay for all her suffering in 20 years." Yuki said and emphasizes each of her words.
"Yuki, I'm really sorry. I don't know what to do to fix my awful mistake. I killed my daughter’s saviors and nearly kill their daughter. I'm such a stupid person" Ryu sorely said
"Even Though, I'm the daughter of the one that killed her family, she doesn’t hate me. She still sees me as her sister. It is her who said that I should forgive you because you are also a victim like her and Takamina. I know that you are not entirely at fault. As Atsuko-nee said, she understand your feeling. I also do too.” Yuki said
“I also am very happy that you tried your best to come here to see me. I heard everything that you said to Atsuko-nee and Takamina. Although I still cannot forget the things you did, I will forgive you, and try to accept you” Yuki continues
"Thank you, Yuki. I understand. I will wait until you can call me….” Ryu said
“Father” cutting Ryu’s word, Yuki looks at him and calls him
Ryu don’t know how to express his happiness right now. His tear is unconsciously falling. Yuki smiles at him. Then she stands up and said
“Yuki, Thank you, Thank you very much” Ryu said in tear
“You are injured. Please take more rest. I will leave now.” Yuki said.
Then she helps him to lie down. After that, Yuki returns to the main house. She opens the door and walks in. Seeing Yuki, Atsuko immediately stands up. Yuki rushes to Atsuko and hugs her tightly
“Yuki, are you ok?” Atsuko worriedly asks Yuki
“I’m fine Atsuko-nee” Yuki said and sobs.
“Atsuko-nee, finally I can forgive him. I call him as my father again. I can smile before him.” Yuki said
“Good job Yuki” Atsuko said and pats Yuki’s head
“I’m glad that you finally can think openly and put the weight in your heart down” Atsuko gently said
Then they sit down and talk.
“Yuki, we are talking about leaving to the Maeda clan. What do you think? Can we leave in tomorrow, or you want to rest some more?” Atsuko said
“I’m fine, Atsuko-nee. We can leave at tomorrow.” Yuki said.
“Good, let me tell a servant to call uncle here” Minami said.
Then he orders a servant to call for Kuu. After a while Kuu come to the room.
"What do you want to talk to me Takamina?" Kuu asks
"Uncle, tomorrow, we decide to leave the island and go to Maeda clan. I want to know who is the one that behind everything." Atsuko said
"Uhm...You want to leave huh?" Kuu said
"I want to go with you" Kuu continues.
"It is dangerous. If we get anything new, we will tell you." Minami said
"Takamina is correct. It is too dangerous for you to come with us, father." Mii said
"Uhm, if you guy say so." Kuu answers.
"Uncle, actually, uncle Kuu I want you to look after someone for me." Atsuko said
"Who?" Kuu asks
"Kashiwagi Ryu" Atsuko
"That guy? What is he doing here?" Kuu said in surprise tone
"We saw him this morning in the forest. He is injured. Now he is in a room in the west side of the house." Minami said.
"Uhm... How is he doing now?" Kuu asks
"He is fine now. He only need to rest." Mayu said.
"Ok. Anyway, because he is Riku's cousin, I will take good care of him." Kuu said
"Thank you uncle" Yuki said and bows.
"It is late. You all go to rest. You will leave soon at tomorrow morning, right?" Kuu said
"Yes, we will go back to our room, now. Good night father." Mii said
Then all of them leave the room and back to their bedroom.
In the forestTwo men stand on the tree and talk
“Those kids are fine now.”
“Uh”
“They will go to Maeda clan now. What are we going to do?”
“We have other things to investigate. Let them go there first.”
“Ok, let go”
In some place"Are you sure your plan will work out?" a man asks a person who kneel on the ground
"Yes sir. This time, I will erase them from this world with one blow." the person on the ground answers confidently.
"Good. I don't want another useless servant. You know about Daiki, right?" the man coldly said.
The person looks at the left side of the room. There is a man hung on the rope and dead.
"You don't want to end up like that right? You are my best servant. Don't make me disappoint again like him. If you are success, I will give you everything you want." the man said.
"Yes sir. I will take the action now. Good bye sir" the person stands up.
Then the person bows and leaves the place.
In the next morningEveryone gathers at the shore and prepares to leave the island.
"Thank you uncle Kuu for all those days, and goodbye uncle Riku" Atsuko said and bows.
"You don't have to say that. Take care" Kuu said
"Goodbye everyone, and good luck" Riku said
Then he turns to Yuki
"Yuki, take care ok. I'm very happy that we can reunite again." Riku said and smiles
Then he turns to Mayu.
"Mayu, you have to take good care of her. If not I will make you regret" Riku looks at Mayu with serious look
"Don't worry uncle. I will" Mayu said
"Thank you uncle" Yuki said and smiles
"Yuu, remember what you promised. Don't let me down. Take care of Haruna." Riku turns to Yuu and Haruna and said.
"Yes father, you also take care." Haruna said
"Don't worry uncle, I will always protect her." Yuu said
From afar, there is a man slowly walks toward them.
"Ryu, you are not fully recovered yet. Why are you come out here?" Riku said
"I just want to see Yuki off.” Ryu said.
“Yuki, take care” Ryu said
“Father, you also take care” Yuki said
“Please Mayu, I entrust Yuki to you” Ryu said
“Don’t worry, uncle Ryu. I will protect her.” Mayu said and bows
"Ok, we will leave now. Let's go guys" Atsuko said and walks into the ship.
Then they say farewell to Kuu and the rest once again and sail toward the sea.
At nightThere is a big storm occurs on the sea
They all stay in their own room to rest. Suddenly an explosion occurs in the storeroom of the ship. Everyone in the ship is surprised.
In Jun roomJun is woken up by the explosion
"What's happening" Jun thought
In Yuu’s room"It is coming from the storeroom." Yuu sits up and runs out
Then everyone runs down to the storeroom. When they are running down there, they see Atsuko and Minami are standing there
“What happened, Acchan?” Mariko asks
“I don’t know. I was woken by the loud sound, so I came here. I only see this small fire that Minami just use water to stop it.” Atsuko said
Then they hear another explosion sound, this is bigger than before. It comes from the other side of the ship.
“What happened?” Rena said
“Let go there and check” Minami said
Then they all run to the other side. While they are running, another explosive sound occurs at the storeroom again.
"The ship is under attack. They are placing explosion powder in our ship" Atsuko said
"It cannot be. How can they find our ship? We hid them in my secret place of the island" Mariko said
"Anyway let's get out of here before another explosion." Minami said
"The ship is sinking" Yuki said.
"Let come up first and find the emergency boat." Haruna said
When they get to the place, the boat is nowhere to be found.
"They took it away too" Atsuko angrily said
Then a voice appears behind them
"Today is your doom Maeda Atsuko. We placed the explosive powder all over the place you have nowhere to escape now."
They turn around.
There is a man standing in front of them. Behind them are a lot of men carry staffs and swords
"Who are you? What do you want?" Rena asks
"Did you forget me? The man that you met at the Lantern Town." the man said
"So it is you. Did you forget that if you let this ship explore. You will also is blown up and die with us too" Atsuko said
"That is my intention. Just because of that Black, the boss is very angry. He killed my boss Daiki." the man said
"Daiki is dead" Minami said in surprise.
"Yes. Now his other strong servant plans this plan. He ordered me here as a pawn. If I don't do this my family will be killed. So die with me." He said and laughs crazily.
He throws the touch into a big portion of powder which connected to a lot of different group of small powder. It starts to explode
"Run to the deck now" Atsuko shouts.
“Stop them” He shouts
The men rush to them. They fight the men while trying to go up to the deck. Then another explosion occurs making the ship shaking. The ship is now filled with smoke
“Mayu, everyone, where are you?” Yuki calls
“Yuki” Mayu runs to Yuki direction
“Mayu” Yuki calls
“Let go up first Yuki” Mayu said
“Mariko, guys” Mii calls
“Mii, I’m here” Mariko calls
“Mariko, are you ok?” Mii worriedly asks
“I’m fine, it just the smoke limits my eyes sight.” Mariko said
“Give me your hand Mariko” Mii said and pulls Mariko with him
“Nyan Nyan, Nyan Nyan, are you ok?” Yuu calls Haruna who falls on the ground
“I’m fine Yuu. It is just the explosion causes me to lose my balance” Haruna said
“Come on, let get out of here first” Yuu said
“Jun, Jun” Rena calls in worry tone
“I’m here Rena. Let go to the deck now” Jun said and pulls Rena with him
“Minami, Yuki, everyone” Atsuko shouts while running around
Then a shadow appears behind her. It raises his sword to stab her. Suddenly a sword pierces through its stomach. Atsuko hears some noise and turns back
“Minami?” Atsuko calls
“Atsuko, that man tried to kill you” Minami said
“Thank you Minami. Now we have to go to the deck” Atsuko said
They all get on the ship deck at the same time. They are surrounded by those attackers. Then another big explosion occurs on the top ship making everything shaking again. Follow that there are a lot of the explosion come from around the ship.
“We have no choice but to jump out of here.” Atsuko hurriedly said
“Uh, let’s promise that when we are safe, we will come back to uncle Kuu’s house to meet each other ok?” Minami said
“Ok” everyone said
The ship is slowly sinking. Then they all jump out of the ship before the ship completely exploded.
