Chapter 23
It's been two years since we moved into Paris. In the beginning it was really hard since neither one of us spoke french. However there were a couple Japanese places we could work at and it was there we also learned french. Jurina was a lot better at it than me so whenever we went out she did most of the talking. I could understand it well it's just talking I would always get nervous about. Despite Jurina being a chatter box though she couldn't read french very well and that's when I was able to come in and help. I can read the language pretty well. Together we managed to rent an apartment and ever since we've been living happily ever since. One day though I was waiting for Jurina to come home when there was a knock at the door. I opened it and saw there was no one there but on the floor there was a note.
"Meet me at this address tomorrow morning. Bring Jurina."
I didn't know who it was from but then on the back there was a picture of a little squirrel. It was then I realized who it was and I couldn't wait to get there. When I told Jurina she sounded excited and really happy.
"It's Yuko! She's alive!" Jurina said.
"I'm glad she made it out alright." I said.
"So then tomorrow we're gonna go meet her?"
"I guess so."
"Alright then for now let's go to bed. I'm tired after a long day of work."
"Alright alright. Goodnight Jurina~"
"Goodnight Rena~"
The next morning Jurina and I got up and headed to the address the note told us to go. The address led us to an old warehouse that had been shut down a long time ago. We weren't sure where to go so we walked inside and we were expecting some kind of surprise party. However when we walked in the thing we found was a bunch of men all gathered around the table. On the table was a mixture of drugs, money, and guns. It was obvious we had walked into the wrong place and now we were about to go face to face with a drug lord!
(Somewhere else...)
"Mou where are they?! They should be here by now!" a worried squirrel said.
"Maybe they got lost?" a lazy kitty said.
"Are you sure you gave them the right address?"
"Yeah here this is what I gave them."
"You idiot!! This is the address to the drug bust I was supposed to take down yesterday!"
"Eh?!"
(Over with Rena...)
Jurina and I were outnumbered and out gunned so we didn't exactly fight. It was more like we walked in and they pointed their guns at us and we followed. I don't know exactly what they were going to do with us but I didn't like where it was going. There were two boss looking guys arguing over drugs and money. It was obvious something was going wrong with the deal but I couldn't exactly tell since I couldn't understand them. As the two bosses were talking I noticed there was something warm next to me. I looked over and saw Jurina leaning on me fast asleep. How could she sleep in a time like this?! Honestly this kid sometimes does things that leaves me speechless. I tried to get Jurina to wake up but I had no luck and that was when one of the guys grabbed me and pulled me over to the table.
"Vous parlez français?" one boss asked.
I had no idea what he said because he spoke so fast and I was still learning but it was something about french. I didn't really know what to do so I just nodded my head yes hoping it would get me out of here. The other boss looked at me and said,
"Asseyez-vous."
I didn't know what he just said but he pointed to the empty chair between then so I'm guessing he told me to sit down. I sat in the chair and the man pulled out a gun. It looked like a revolver and he took out all the bullets except one. He snapped the camber back into place and then spun it a couple times in different directions to shuffle the bullet. Once that was done he handed me the gun and smiled. It was then I had realized that I had gotten myself into a game of russian roulette. I picked up the gun and held it to my head. I took one breath and then pulled the trigger. There was a snap but no bullet so it looks like I was safe. The boss smiled at me and then had me pass it to the other guy. The other guy held the gun up to his head and easily pulled the trigger like it was nothing. The bullet didn't blow his brains out so he was safe as well. He passed it onto the next guy and he wasn't killed as well.
"That's three..." I thought to myself.
This revolver had six shots in it and we just went through half of them. That means that this next round is the final round. I was handed the gun and so I took it and nervously held it to my head. I was scared that this was going to be my final moment of Earth so I thought that this was the end. However when I pulled the trigger it didn't go off and I was safe. For the next guy though he pulled the trigger and the gun did go off. His blood splattered and his body landed on the table. Blood was slowly leaking onto the table and I tried to get away from it. The original boss smiled and then too the gun. He loaded another bullet and span it again. He handed it to me and this time he said,
"Vous vous gagnez et vos amis rentrez chez vous."
I didn't know what he said but I recognized the word home. Maybe after this I'll finally get to go home? But wait what about Jurina? Would she get to go with me? I wasn't sure but I had no choice but to play along. I took the gun and held it up to my head. I pulled the trigger and there was no bullet so I was safe. He did the same and in the end lived. I repeated the process and I was still alive. That was three shots down three more to go. I handed him the gun and he fired it and there was no shot. I did the same and still no shot. It was down to the last bullet and he knew what was coming next. Because of that he pushed back the gun and told me to go again. I couldn't believe what he was doing which was basically cheating but I had no choice. I reached out to take the gun but dropped it midway. I quickly picked it back up and then held it to my head.
I thought that this was it and I was finally going to die. I sighed and made a short prayer. I looked over at Jurina who was still sleeping and I was happy to know that she wouldn't see me shoot myself at least. I took one last breath and pulled the trigger. I was expecting to feel my brains leave the side of my skull but instead there was nothing. The gun didn't fire and I was really surprised. I don't know what happened and neither did the boss. He looked at me with a mean look and I nervously slid the gun away from me. The boss picked up the gun and then held it to his hand. He smiled and then pulled the trigger thinking he would make it out alive. However the gun went off and his blood splattered all over my clothes.
All the men in the room stared at me with disbelief. Then one of them pushed me away and started to grab as much cash as he could. Soon all the men started to fight over the money and drugs. During the whole commotion I grabbed Jurina and ran out of there. I ran all the way out onto the street and that was where a car pulled up. The door opened and there was Yuko standing there.
"Get in!"
Yuko drove us to a safe place and when we got inside we were surprised by all of our friends. Sayaka, Sae, Yuki, Mayu, Atsuko, Minami and Haruna were all there. It had been a while since I had seen them all so I was really happy. It was soon after Jurina woke up and when she did she was really surprised.
"Wah how did I get here?! Where are we?!!" she said.
"Relax Jurina we're safe." I said.
"Relax Jurina you're fine!" Mayu said.
"Bu-bu-bu-"
"I'll explain later for now let's party!"
Soon after the party kicked up and we were all having fun with the music and drinks. Everyone seemed to have their own lives of their own.
"Acchan and I got married and now we run a flower shop together!" Minami said.
"Sae and I work as police officers now and we're pretty good at our jobs." Sayaka said.
"I made it back home and eloped with my precious Nyannyan~" Yuko said as she hugged Haruna.
"I actually got our old boss fired and now I run the company." Yuki said.
"And I work at a manga shop!" Mayu said.
"Well looks like everyone has been busy with their own lives." I said.
"How have things been on your end?" Yuko asked.
"Well Jurina works at a Daycare and I work at a cafe."
"Looks like you two are doing well."
As we were talking I noticed that Jurina was just sitting quietly watching. I wanted her to feel involved as well so I told her to stay and talk while I got up and got some more drinks. I got up and walked into the kitchen and grabbed some more juice bottles. I turned around and was surprised to see Yuki standing there. She covered my mouth and told me to follow her. I went down the hall and that's where she pushed me into a closet. Then she locked it and put something in front of the door. She told me to stay quiet and she was gonna play a prank on everyone. I just sighed and agreed to whatever it was she was doing. I'm hoping it isn't bad. As I was sitting there I noticed there was a bag with my name on it. Inside was some sort of strange outfit. There was a note coming from Yuki telling me to wear it so I did and now I waited.
(Over with Jurina...)
While everyone was talking Yuki came in and said that Rena had gone missing. They didn't know what was going on but then Yuki told some kind of story where there were ghosts in the house. They say that the ghost will start to take people one by one. Everyone didn't believe Yuki at first and thought she was just pulling a prank. However everyone searched the house and there was no sign of Rena anywhere. There was a loud scream and in the hall was Mayu pointing at something on the wall. There written in what appeared to be blood was a message saying,
"You're next~"
At that moment the lights went off and that was when everyone started to freak out. There was only one person with a light and that was Sayaka who was trying to get everyone to calm down. When everyone settled she said,
"Alright guys we need to find Rena. She's probably just pulling a prank on us or something."
Sayaka handed a light to Minami, Yuko, and Mayu.
"Let's split up and find her. Atsuko you go with Minami, Yuko go with Haruna, Mayu go with Yuki and Jurina you come with Sae and me."
Everyone agreed and then split up and started to search for Rena. Jurina was a little scared not about the ghost but about Rena. She was worried that something did happen to her and was scared about that. Jurina stayed right behind Sayaka and Sae. As they were walking the halls searching every room, they suddenly heard a loud thud. They rushed into a bathroom and there they saw a message written in the mirror.
"Do I look pretty?"
Jurina started to walk a little closer to examine it better. She moved close to the mirror and that was when a hand reached out from the mirror and grabbed Jurina's neck. It started to pull Jurina in but Sayaka grabbed Jurina and pulled her back. The hand turned back in and then Sae smashed the mirror. They were expecting some sort of hidden tunnel but there was nothing there but a stone wall. While lost in confusion, they heard another scream coming down from the hall. They walked outside and saw Yuki fly past them. She was being dragged by something and it was pulling her down the hallway. Sae tried to grab her but missed and Yuki faded into the darkness. There was a loud scream and the sound of a blade cutting through flesh. There was a large splatter of blood and a loud thud. Then something was thrown out of the darkness and it slammed into Mayu. She almost fainted when she saw it was an arm with a bracelet that Yuki was wearing. It was then everyone started to think that this was real and they were now trapped in a house full of angry spirits.
(Over with Rena...)
I con't believe I'm doing this. Honestly running around dressed as a ghost and scaring everyone. I don't know what Yuki is planning but to be honest it's really silly. I nearly lost my arm if I hadn't pulled back into the mirror. When I grabbed Yuki she dressed up two and now we were both running around scaring people. She said that Atsuko and Yuko also knew what was going on. I had to grab Yuko now so I found Yuko and Haruna in the master bedroom. Haruna was looking in the closets while Yuko was searching the bed. I made my way over to the bed and then opened a hidden hatch that was under it. I slid into it and then waited for Yuko to poke her head under the bed.
"Haruna I'm going to check under the bed!"
Yuko popped her head and that's when I grabbed her and started to pull her down.
"Kya Haruna help!!"
"Yuko!"
I pulled Yuko down and shut the hatch. Above us we could hear Haruna crying and shouting for Yuko. Soon the others came in and Haruna explained what had happened. After they left Yuko and I started giggling happy that we were able to scare everyone like this. The last person to grab was Atsuko and so Yuko and I found Atsuko with Minami in the kitchen. Minami was holding on tightly to Atsuko and it didn't look like she was going to let go any time soon. We had to think of a way to get Minami away from Atsuko. That was when Yuko hatched an idea to trip Minami and then I swoop in and snatch Atsuko. We were about to move into action when suddenly two knives came flying straight towards us. We ducked just in time but still the blade was close.
"I thought I saw something." Minami said.
They started to make their way over to us so Yuko thought fast and instead took a bag of flour and punched it. The flour filled the air and made it really hard to see. It was then Minami was knocked down and I grabbed Atsuko pulling her into the secret room. Yuko made it out as well leaving Minami alone and scared. She kept calling for Atsuko and that was when Atsuko said,
"Minami help they're gonna kill me!"
Then she screamed loudly and banged the walls a couple times before we all ran. Once everyone was gathered it was time for the main show.
(Over with Jurina...)
Yuko, Yuki, and Atsuko have all been taken by the ghosts. What to make of this they didn't know but then suddenly Jurina felt a strong gust of wind. The wind pushed them towards the dining hall where everyone else was there as well. They were all told to sit at the table and when they did the chairs restricted them from moving. Everyone was now trapped and then suddenly four figures appeared out of nowhere. They all walked over to the table and it was then on said,
"Who's ready for dinner!"
They all pulled out blades and looked at the ones they were going to cut. Jurina didn't know what was going to happen next but there was something about one of the ghosts that she thought was strange. She then realized that the restraints on her wrists were loose. Jurina slipped out and then jumped on top of one of the ghosts. She grabbed the blade and held it up and then was about to bring it down on the ghost.
"Jurina wait it's me Rena!"
The lights came back on and there Jurina saw Rena staring at her with a scared look. She looked around and saw Yuki, Yuko and Atsuko as well. She didn't know what was going on and demanded an explanation.
(Over with Rena...)
Jesus Christ I was almost killed by Jurina! It's a good thing I called out to her though. Yuki explained the little prank her and Yuko had come up with earlier and everyone was mad at first but then they got over it because we also had a huge dinner made for them. As we were eating Minami said,
"Atsuko you're gonna get it later on tonight."
"Same goes to you Yuko. That scared me!" Haruna said,
"And Yuki I'm gonna make you regret scaring me like that." Mayu said.
All three of them gulped and knew what was going to happen later on tonight. I just giggled and then looked over at Jurina who was giving me a nasty look. She must have still been mad and well who could blame her? I thought that at the end of the night Jurina would cool down. Sadly I was wrong. Minami and Yuko got drunk so Haruna and Atsuko took them to bed. Meanwhile Mayu dragged Yuki to bed while Sayaka and Sae called in as well. Now it was just me and Jurina and it looked like Jurina was still mad. I walked over to her and tried to talk to her but she wouldn't let me. She just got up and moved away from me. When I tried again she did the same. Eventually we started chasing each other around the room until Jurina tripped and I fell on top of her. She struggled to get back up but I held her down and said,
"I'm sorry Jurina ok? It was just a game."
"Well it wasn't a game to me! Do you know how scared I was?" Jurina said.
"I'm sorry Jurina I really am."
I could see Jurina tearing up and all I could do is pull her in for a hug. I kept telling her I was sorry and she just hit my head and said,
"Don't you ever do that again!"
"Hai hai gomen ne~"
"Good then you're coming with me!"
"Where to?"
"Bed~"
"EH?!"
God knows what she's going to do to me but to be honest I was a little excited. However as soon as she had tied me to the bed I knew things weren't going to end well. At first I thought it was going to be sensual but then she pulled out a feather and started to tickle me all over. I begged her to stop but the girl was relentless and kept tickling me. I thought I was going to die from laughter but then she stopped. She then got on top of me and said,
"Don't you ever scare me like that again ok?"
"Hai.."
"Good!"
It was then I felt something soft and warm press against my cheek. I looked at Jurina and she was giving me a sly kitty smile. I knew what she was planning and I could feel the heat building inside me.
"Now let's get the candle wax!"
"Candle wax?!"
I knew Jurina was a hormone crazed teen but I never knew she was a huge sadist! God where did she learn all this from?! Over the time I've known Jurina I never knew she had this side. Jurina really was a sadist and that just made me even more excited. Wait does that mean that I'm the other M? We've known each other for years now and I'm just now discovering this?! Well over all I'm happy about everything. I'm happy about meeting Jurina and taking her in. Bonding with her and spending time with her. All these things have brought us closer and closer up to this moment.
We are all born in this world locked in a box with the key thrown away. We live a repetitive life doing the same thing every day. Others control us and we just simply nod and follow the orders. There are some though who see a life outside the box. A life of their own that they control. You throw everything away in your previous life and make room for all the new things. All the great memories and cherished loved ones. All these things will be yours when you finally break free. On the day you finally break free from the box is the day you make your great escape.
