Majisuka Gakuen: Rappappa's Rebirth

Chapter Nine – Part Two
It was already late but in BLACK's house no one seemed to feel tired or in the mood to sleep. She was calmly seated in one of the chairs on the small room reading a book, when another girl knocked on the door. She slowly left her spot to open the door and let the tall girl enter. It was usual for Gekikara to return late. She did as she pleased and returned whenever she felt like. Once again she returned dirty and with her skin painted by blood. Even though BLACK aided her once, it seemed like the girl insisted on returning to her. BLACK didn't even question it, but it quickly became a routine. She would be awake since the evenings were her favorite moments of the day and without apparent notice, someone would rudely knock on her door and she would open it, letting the visitor enter and crash on her sofa.
It all started with Gekikara borrowing the floor and eventually she began taking the couch. They didn't really spoke to each other. BLACK wasn't a very talkative person and she didn't particularly have much to say or ask. Was she a normal person and this a normal situation, the questions would fly in seconds, but it wasn't the case though. Gekikara wasn't very active or the talk initiator, so the few words or sentences she spoke were normally of gratitude or any physical complain induced by BLACK, causing her some sort of unbearable pain. Gekikara never showed up in proper presentation and sometimes her fights were so intense that something ought to be broken or wounded severely.
This night though, the girls had something to talk about.
As Gekikara started to take off her upper vests from the uniform, BLACK appeared from the bathroom with a plate containing bandages and a small pot of warm water and alcohol. Like always, she would place it closer to the girl and would let her clean herself, walking back to her room only to bring back a towel.
By the time Gekikara was done, BLACK was again seated in her chair contemplating the old pages of her Bible. The lunatic girl never understood why the serious girl was so fascinated by its sayings and stories, but the view somehow always gave her a good impression of the girl. She decided to check on her and observe her more closely. It was something she began to do after spending some nights in her house. BLACK never understood what was going on into girl's head and was unable to predict her moves, but it somehow didn't bothered her. She had seen her in action and knew that her outbursts were driven by violence and thirst for blood; if she ever crossed her path and had to exchange fists with her, it would be a duel where she wouldn't leave out unpleased.
Gekikara sat on the floor, closer to BLACK and stayed quiet for a while. BLACK lifted her eyes from the old book and fixed her gaze on the girl. Tonight it was the first time she felt compelled to start a conversation, even if it only lasted a couple of minutes. She has been wondering about Gekikara's behavior on the rooftop; the way she kept shut and blank at Yuko's presence. BLACK only knew a bit about Rappappa's reputation, but if the rumors were true then Yuko and Sado were an item regarding the subject.
"What did you think of Oshima Yuko?"
Her tone tried to show as little emotion as she allowed herself to, but somehow she messed up and it sounded almost like motherly. Gekikara didn't answer right away and it seemed like she was thinking of an answer. It didn't help when BLACK caught her almost unseen reaction when she pronounced that name.
"Are you mad?"
There it was, that trademark kind of answer, she so gladly often delivered. BLACK heard her saying it a couple of times and it always left her wondering if it was all she could say.
"I'm not mad."
Another thoughtful moment of silence filled the room and then Gekikara looked straight into BLACK's eyes. It was the first time her gaze didn't wander around and stayed fixed on her. The sudden change of pace intrigued BLACK and she decided to be careful.
"Why did you react that way when she appeared?"
Her questions were pushing Gekikara's buttons. She didn't quite take people's words into consideration – people only existed in her world as a mean to release her desires. But this time she was trying to picture the girl BLACK was referring to. Her memory was a bit forgetful when it came to remember people, after all, so little significance they had for her. But yes, she knew who Oshima Yuko was. The thing was…their first meeting was on that exact same rooftop.
"She's an angel of death."
BLACK was taken aback slightly. Gekikara's tone was so crystal clear and naked of emotions.
"Did you already knew her?"
Gekikara shot another glare at the other girl and shook her head.
"She's building a gang – a team – to control Majisuka. What do you think of that? Sounds good?"
The mad girl broke into laughter at the sentence. BLACK felt a little compelled to join in, but ultimately she wouldn't. There was another awkward silence between them and Gekikara who was still with her butt on the floor, felt the exhaustion of the day spreading on her body. BLACK felt something resting on her right leg and her eyes traveled down to see what it was. Her lips curved for a second and then dropped the smile they somehow formed, glaring at the other girl, whose head was leaning on her leg. Gekikara fell asleep and her light breathing was the only noise audible on the room, tickling the girl's skin.
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind"

A strong blow was delivered right into Yuko's nose and the impact made her face take a turn. Blood began dropping from her nostrils and she brushed her right hand, cleaning it, feeling the crimson warm fluid on the back of her hand. A short and contained laugh exited her mouth and with her lungs full of air she grinned. She was bragging, showing off and acting completely out of her character.
Was she trying to prove something, hiding her true motives?
By the looks of the fight, she was already in a pretty bad state. There was dirt in her skirt, her scarf was misplaced, her hair was messy, her knuckles were bruised and sore and her nose was dripping. The other girl was in a very pretty bad state too, yet, she still hadn't shown why she was like Torigoya.
Yuko tried to focus her vision on a fierce spot to regain her balance. The girl was breathing hard and sucking on the blood in the corner of her mouth. Their eyes crossed and they both smiled.
[…]
Sado arrived to the Arcades. It was full of people enjoying themselves and playing games, eating food and chatting loud. Making her way to one of the games she spotted her senpai. She was a very tall girl, with short black bluish hair and also very thin. One would wonder how someone like that used to be a fearful figure. At first sight she would just be your regular plain girl.
Sado's heels attracted the girl's attention and she turned her face to greet Sado.
"I knew you would come."
"Senpai."
The sound from the machine advertised the end of the game and the girl kicked the machine.
"Stupid machine! I looked away for a second and this bitch attacks me from behind? Fuck my life."
Sado expressed a giggle and smiled.
The two girls looked like sisters. Her senpai looked at her again and laughing off her behavior she leaded Sado to the eating area.
"I'm starving, let's grab something to munch."
[…]
The real battle was about to begin. Yuko's thoughts were all on her memories of Torigoya's touch. All those feelings she woke in her, all that vulnerability that she wasn't able to predict and fight for a while, all the violation she did on her mind and the secrets and pain she stole from her. For starters it was the most intense experience she had ever had. Something so transcendent, confusing, mindfucker and out of this world. It was something that changed the whole picture in one's life.
'Thanks to that I was able to link with my inner desires and release them without feeling guilt, but I can't predict what can happen if I put myself in a situation like that again.'
She decided to keep her inner desires out of this fight. She didn't feel like showing her true self to someone that she, in fact, was underestimating. She was strong and had a secret weapon, so Yuko was just trying to keep up with her. It was wasting her and leaving bruises all over her.
Without notice Yuko felt a hand on her forehead and in that moment she realized she was too late. The split seconds of thoughts distracted her and the girl caught the opportunity to give Yuko a taste of her true power. Yes, that power that in the past made Yuko fear for her sanity.
Her head started to scream and she couldn't possibly know if it was only in her head or if her voice was actually also screaming. The experience was painful and the girl was trying to break her defenses.
'I won't be broken.'
She tried to evoke that thought in her head but she didn't know if her brain was listening. The rape continued and it was even stronger than Torigoya's. The girl's focus was clear, her primal goal wasn't to know what was inside Yuko's head, it was to break her completely and crash her whole reality. Sure, she was seeing interesting events, digging into some useful and enjoyable dirt. It was all well until Yuko's mind opened a door for the girl to investigate about Torigoya and the revelation was groundbreaking.
"Hahahahah! So this is why? You're a fool Oshima."
Driven by the beginning of rage, she forced Yuko to fall backwards. The hand on her forehead pushed into the floor and Oshima hit her head, hard, on the floor.
"You'll wish you never messed with me."
Yuko couldn't hear her in that moment. She was fighting back with all she had. Trying to recall and use the same pain she used before to break free, she was grasping for control over her mind. The blow her head suffered almost made her lose her will and she pushed herself to try harder. Suddenly she evoked the thought of insulting the girl with the fact that Torigoya was better than her.
"Oh…you really wanna go there Oshima?"
Either she wanted to admit or not, it infuriated her to be insulted like that. Torigoya was her belonging and like a loyal servant she would never betray her. She saved Torigoya from her curse!
Feeling the touch and rape intensity decreasing slightly, Yuko regained some sanity to conclude that she was putting a finger on an important wound. Without ever giving up, she felt her body hitting the floor harshly. The girl was no longer focusing all her grip in violating and breaking Yuko, she was also assaulting her physically to harm her.
"What is this heterosexualry?"
The random voice made the girl turn her attention to who was intruding. Her eyes wide opened at the figure ahead of her. Her mind ought to be playing tricks on her. It had to be her exhaustion…it just didn't seem possible. Then another girl came out from the shadows and she almost chocked on her saliva.
The two girls stepped ahead and crossed their arms. She still had her grip on Yuko's mind but little by little the monster was regaining her sanity to pull back. The Master dropped her jaw and her eyes still couldn't believe in what was in front of her.
"What the fuck is going on here?"
