Chapter 5
"So what exactly are we doing?"
"This is called a steak out where we wait and follow your oppenent. We wait for the killer to show up and when they do, we jump them." Rena said.
"Ok. So how long are we going to be waiting here?" Jurina asked.
"As long as it takes to find the killer."
"That could take forever!"
"Well then get comfortable because we're going to be here for a while."
After about a half hour, Jurina was already bored out of her mind. Rena on the other hand was completely fine.
"If you're bored how about to try taking a nap?"
"I can't sleep."
"Oh then try this."
Rena held her hand against Jurina's neck and then pressed down on a certain spot. Slowly, Jurina felt herself slip into a deep sleep.
"Mommy daddy!"
BANG BANG!
"No!"
"Become stronger and then maybe you'll be able to avenge your parents."
"Rena..."
"I'm leaving now."
"Rena don't go!"
"Goodbye."
"RENA!"
"What?"
Jurina looked over and saw Rena looking at her with a worried look.
"It's nothing." Jurina said.
"We're you having a nightmare?" Rena asked.
"A little. How long was I out?"
"About three hours."
"And the target still hasen't left their house?"
"No."
"I think we should check it out."
"I was about to say the same thing."
Jurina and Rena got out of the car and up to the front door. Jurina found it unlocked and stepped in. They were both surprised to find a dead body lying on the ground.
"Impossible! I was watching this house from the moment she got home. There's no way someone could've gotten in." Rena said.
"Well looks like they got in and now this girl is dead."
"We should probably leave before someone sees us."
"Right. We'll get them next time."
Jurina and Rena left right before the mother came home and found the dead body.
"So who's my next oppenent?"
"This girl who livesi in an apartment."
"Then let's go get her."
Right as Jurina and Rena arrived, they could hear a struggle inside the apartment. Jurina kicked the door down and ran in. There she saw a dead body and a masked figure holding a bloody knife.
"Stop!"
Jurina grabbed the figure and tried to take them down. But the figure swung the knife and Jurina had to let go to dodge it. The masked figure took the chance to escape through and open window. Jurina was about to go out and persue the culprit but Rena stopped her.
"Jurina this one is still alive."
Jurina walked over and saw the girl with a stab wound to the chest. She was barely breathing and losing a lot of blood. Rena had her hands over the wound apply pressure trying to stop the wound from bleeding.
"Get me some towels and something heavy." Rena said.
Jurina got what Rena needed and Rena started to work on the wound. She took the towels and pressed them against the wound. Then she took a rock that Jurina found and placed it over the wound.
"That should stablize her for now but we have to call an ambulance."
"Alright I'll do that."
Jurina pulled out her phone and dialed 911. When she got done, she looked back over at Rena who was staring at her hands.
"Uh Rena?"
Rena didn't answer but just kept starying at her hands. They were covered in the girls blood and was even on some of her clothes. There was a wild look in Rena's eyes and she started shaking and taking shallow breaths.
"Rena."
Jurina lightly touched Rena's shoulder and it appeared to have calmed her down.
"Oh sorry Jurina. Let's get out of here."
Rena drove back to the house and went over to the sink to wash the blood off. Meanwhlie Jurina reached into her pocket and pulled out something she had picked up from the killer. It was a handkerchief with the initial" TA" on it.
"Who do you think TA is?"
"I don't know. I can't really think of anyone." Jurina said.
"Well try to remember. Nezumi said the killer was someone you knew so if you don't figure it out then she's going to just keep killing." Rena said.
"I know that. So who's my next opponent?"
"A girl who lives in a house."
"Ok."
"Before we go we should get some help. I got an idea of who to go."
Rena drove to Nezumi's place. Jurina knocked on the door and Black answered. She was holding a crying baby and a laundry basket at the same time.
"Jurina help her."
Jurina took the laundry basket and and walked into the main room where Nezumi was on her laptop.
"What are you guys doing here?" Nezumi said.
"We came to ask you something."
"What? I can't hear cause Black's kid is crying. Black shut that kid up!"
"I'm sorry he just won't calm down."
"Here let me see him."
Rena took the baby from Black and started to rock it back and forward.
"There, there it's ok. Dry your tears and go to sleep."
The baby actually stopped crying and fell asleep in Rena's arms. When he was asleep, she handed him back to Black who took him into the other room.
"Amazing. That's the first time I've seen him calm down so quickly."
"You're good at the baby stuff. Maybe Black should move in with you and you can care for the kid with her." Nezumi said.
"Nezumi!"
"I'm just kidding. So what is it you wanted to ask?"
"We need to borrow Black for a couple hours." Jurina said.
"And why is that?"
"Remember that killer we've been looking for?"
"Yeah what about them?"
"We we almost had them at one point but then they slipped away. We need to borrow Black and her super speed."
"Ok take her an go. But if she gets hurt I'll kill you."
"Roger that."
Rena, Jurina, and Black all walked out to the car and drove to their next location.
"I see the girl inside. Looks like we're a little early."
"So we just have to wait now."
"Sounds fair to me."
The three of them sat in silence for a while until Jurina broke the ice.
"Hey Black can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Do you like having a kid?"
"Sometimes. Sometimes I think it's the greatest thing in he world. Other times I think this is my punishment for being so stupid that night." Black said.
"What happened?" Jurina asked.
"I was drunk and some guy picked me up. He had his way with me and you can guess what happened."
"How were you able to handle the whole pregnancy thing?"
"Well actually, before Nezumi came in, Rena helped me a lot."
"Eh?"
"Yes. When I was pregnant, Rena let me stay at her place and she took care of me. And when I had the baby her and I raised him for a while. It was actually very nice and I actually thought I had finally sound some peace."
"Then why are you with Nezumi if Rena was so good at taking care of you?"
"Things happened and that's all." Rena suddenly said.
"Yes Jurina I think we should stop here."
"Why?"
"Because there are just things better left unsaid." Black said.
"But I really want to know."
"Jurina that's enough. I think our killer has just arrived."
Jurina looked over and saw the masked figure sneak in through a window. Soon after there were screams and a crash.
"Let's go!"
Jurina knocked the door down and ran in. There the girl was already dead and the killer was just finishing up.
"Black grab him!"
Before the killer could do anything, Black used her super speed and knocked the blade out of his hands. Then she took both arms and put them in a arm lock and knocked him down to the ground.
"Now let's see who this killer is."
Jurina pulled off the mask and revealed the face of a girl about Jurina's age. Maybe a little older.
"It's been a while Jurina." she said.
"Who are you?" Jurina said.
"Come on Jurina you don't remember me? It's me your childhood friend."
"I don't remember having friends in my childhood."
"You have to remember. How could you forget your old pal Churi?"
That name made Jurina suddenly remember. Churi, real name Takayanagi Akane was Jurina's friend back when her parents were still around. They would hang out a lot and play together. But then when Jurina's parnets were killed, she never saw her again.
"What are you doing here? What happened to you?"
"After hearing about your parents death, I felt so sorry. I looked for you for the past nine years and then I finally found you. I found out you were in the illegal fight club and I found out about the death penalty if you lost. I couldn't let that happen to you so I stole a list of your oppenets and went around killing them. I thought if you had no one to fight then you couldn't lose."
"Churi, you shouldn't get involved with other people's business. It's not safe to be around me." Jurina said.
"But I care for you Jurina! We're best friends remember?" Churi said.
"You were friends with the old Jurina. The new Jurina doesn't know you. I'm sorry Churi."
Jurina turned around and walked out the door before she could say anything.
"So the killer was a friend of yours?" Black said.
"She's no friend of mine. Just a memory." Jurina said.
"Let's get Black home and then head to the club. They probably got a new opponent for you by now."
They dropped Black off and then headed for the Fight Club. When Jurina stepped up to the ring, there was a loud cheer. Looks like everyone missed her.
"Tonight's match is a match between two good friends! Tonight it's Center versus Churi!"
"EH?"
Churi stepped up to the ring and Jurina couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"What are you doing here?" Jurina said.
"I'm here to stop you." Churi said.
"Do you know what happens when you lose?"
"Yes I know. Which is why I hope that by winning, I can finally put you to rest."
"That's not going to happen."
"We'll see about that."
"Alright ladies enough chit chat let's fight!"
The bell rang and Jurina started off with a punch to the face. But then Jurina came back with an even more powerful punch to the side.
"What happened to you?"
"I trained and got strong like you."
Chrui came at Jurina with a right hook to the face knocking her down. But Jurina quickly counter attacked by tripping her and punching her on the way down. Then she got on top of Churi and started pumbling her with punches. Eventually Churi threw Jurina off and got on top of her. Jurina protected her face but that wasn't the area Churi was aiming for.
"Think again."
Churi sat on Jurina's legs and then started punching her stomach. At one point Jurina's actually coughed up blood because of the beating she was taking. But Jurina was not going to lose even if Churi was her friend. Jurina sat up and grabbed Churi by the shoulders. Then she used her leg and lifted her up and flipped her over.
"Let's finish this."
"With pleasure."
Churi swung at Jurina only to miss this time. Jurina got around and Churi in the back of knee. That move was something Nezumi taught her. Churi fell to the ground and then Jurina finished it with one last punch to the face. Churi was out and Jurina had won.
"Winner is Center!"
The crowd cheered as Jurina walked off the ring.
"Do you want to leave?"
"No. I want to stay and see what happens."
Out of all ther fights, not once has Jurina stayed to watch the death penalty. But this time she wanted to see what they did to Churi. Two guys grabbed Churi and dragged her to the center of the ring. They had her stand on a chair and a hang not came down from above. They wrapped it around her neck and then asked,
"Any last words?"
"Yeah. Goodbye Jurina."
Churi looked at Jurina one last time before the guy kicked the chair and Churi came down with the noose tightly around her neck. She didn't even struggle but just accepted death. Once she was dead, the two guys dragged Churi's body away.
"Let's go home."
On the car ride home, Jurina had Churi stuck in her head. The look she gave her left a deep impression in her heart. It was a look that said "I knew I would lose."
"If she knew she would lose then why did she fight?" Jurina wondered.
She told Churi what would happen and she knew as well. But yet she still fought and in the end lost her life. Even though Churi wasn't a close friend, Jurina felt that she had just lost someone close to her. Tears were rolling down her eyes which surprised Jurina. That was the first time she cried in a long time. Rena saw this is caught her tears.
"Life is cruel Jurina. But no matter what happens we need to stay strong and keep moving. Don't get held up in the past. Do you understand?"
"Yeah."
"Good."
Even though what Rena said was true, Jurina couldn't move on as fast as her. Jurina wasn't as tough as Rena. A life is a life and when one is lost, you can't bring it back.
==================================================================================
Ahh now you know who the killer was! She had her reason to do it and in the end died for trying to protect Jurina. But that just proves that when you get involved with someone dangerous, you'll only end up getting hurt. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and please tell me what you think. Look forward to the next chapter!
