Hello! It's been 2 weeks since I last updated this.
Honestly... I was really stressing out over this chapter and tried (bit by bit) to finish it.
So, Finally here it is.
I made it long... as long as I can...
Hope you like it and, again, sorry if you see some stray grammar error around there.
Chapter 5: Good? or Bad?“It’s my fault… I’m sorry.”
“No… I know that you tried to protect her…”
“But still…” Takamina gritted her teeth. It’s not time for self-pity now. She’ll have to set that aside until she rescue Atsuko from those men. “I’ll save her.”
“I know you can do it.” Atsuharu smiled. “I’ll leave that to you.”
“We’ll save her… Takamina.” Mii-chan smiled, encouraging her friend. “Any lead?”
“I tried getting some info out of them but…” Takamina sighed. “They won’t talk… Although those men have one thing in common… it’s a tattoo on their left forearm… It must be an emblem of their group or something… We’ll start from there. Interrogate them, Mii-chan.” Takamina said and then turn to Jurina. “Jurina please report this to our Head Office and ask if they have information on this tattoo.” Jurina nodded, running off to their Main Office.
Takamina looks at the picture of the tattoo.
(Here's the picture... I can't describe it... so I just draw something that came into my mind)
Takamina takes her phone out and dialed a number.
‘Hello?’“Hey! This is Minami.”
‘Minegishi?’“NO… Takahashi Minami.”
‘Oooh… Takamidget! It’s been a while.’“Shaddup with the Takamidget, will you! You’re like Yuko!”
Takamina hears the person on the other line laughing.
‘So anything I can do for you?’“Yeah… I have something for you… I want every bit of information you can get about it. And as soon as possible if you can, though I prefer to have the information later this day or tomorrow.”
‘Tsk… Tsk… Tsk… You’re a little too demanding Takamidget… but for old time’s sake, I’ll try this info that you want. We’ll talk about the payment later. Ja ne~’ *beep* *beep* *beep* The person hangs up before Takamina even had the chance to reprimand the person for calling her ‘Takamidget’. Honestly, what’s with that ‘Takamidget’/’Takamini’ comment? She’s not a midget or anything. It’s just that she didn’t inherit some good genes for height. Tsk. ‘
I’ll let go of that rude comment for now… I know I can rely on her for some useful information.’ She smiles.
--METROPOLITAN HOSPITAL-- Yuuma is on his way out of the hospital when the TV situated in the hall of Neurological Services Department flash a news report. He paused and decided listen to the news report.
-On the TV-Reporter: There is an on-going search and rescue operation for the Actress, Maeda Atsuko...
(Atsuko’s picture was being flashed in the screen beside the report.)
Reporter: According to the Case Investigators, Maeda Atsuko was kidnapped right after the filming of her new drama …Reporter: No precise identity was specified about who her possible kidnappers might be… However, the Polices are doing their best to resolve this case…“Another crime? We’re getting a lot of that lately.” A nurse commented from the nurse counter of the said department. “Why can’t they report something more fun and lively for a change, instead of watching this depressing news reports.”
“You’re right.” The other one replied. “First that assassinated Politician in front of the Casino together with the Yakuza incident in one night, then the fight between those two syndicates… Now, Astuko-san was kidnapped… I hope they save Atsuko-san though.”
“I hope so too.” The nurse nods in agreement. “Then again, how safe can you be once you are kidnapped? We don’t even know if they are just kidnappers. What if they are some rapist or even serial killer too? I can’t imagine being kidnapped by those kinds of kidnappers.” She added, feeling a shiver down her spine as she imagines the said situation.
“Don’t joke like that.” The other nurse jabs her friend’s arm. “It’s not funny and it definitely did not, in any way, lighten up the mood. You made it worse!! Besides, you don’t have to imagine about those scenes. I sure no one will try to kidnap or even rape you.” She added while looking up and down at the nurse besides her.
“Hey! What are you even implying with that?!” The nurse crossed her arms over her chest. “I was just… a little… too flat chested…”
Yuuma clears his throat loud enough for the two nurses to hear. The two nurses in the Nurse Counter blushed upon seeing the stoic doctor and decided to stop their conversation. For decency’s sake… That. And the fact that Yuuma had heard the conversation of the two nurses.
Yuuma think about the nurses’ conversation. Not the latter part though. ‘
The kidnappers can be a rapist or a serial killer? That’s a possibility. They can even be her psychotic fans too. She’s an actress after all.’ Yuuma thought.
“Acchan was… kidnap?” Someone speaks out besides him.
Yuuma turns his head to where the voice came from. “Yuki-sama?” Yuuma look blankly at Kashiwagi Yuki. When did this woman got besides him? Yuuma made a face. This woman can appear out of nowhere and stroll around without being noticed at all. “Do you know her… the actress?”
Yuki nodded. “Of course she’s the famous Maeda Atsuko.”
Yuuma stares again at Yuki with his usual stoic expression. He didn’t expect that kind of reply. Yes, that is the famous actress/model/singer Maeda Atsuko. Almost every person in this country knows HER. Yuuma knows her, even though he didn’t care about showbiz and stuff.
Yuki sighs. “You’re no fun, Yuuma.” Yuuma didn’t bother to reply at her statement. Sometimes… no, actually most of the time; Yuki feels like she’s talking to a wall… let’s make it a little better than a wall... how about an imaginary friend?... That didn’t sound any better at all. Yuki mused at bit and then smiled sadly. “Acchan’s a classmate from college.” She finally revealed. “I hope she’s okay.”
“Hope so…” Yuuma uttered, watching the news report again. “But that doesn’t mean she’s going to be safe though. For all we know, she might be dead or something.”
“You’re such a pessimist, Yuuma.”
“I’d rather call that ‘being a realist’, Yuki-sama.” Yuuma replied. “Besides, kidnappers are anything but good… and you know what’s worst? You’ll never know what they think until they act upon it and you can’t do anything about it because they had you and your freedom under their control”.
Yuki looks at Yuuma with wide eyes and mouth agape. She did expect some blunt comments from him… but he still manages to surprise her. ‘
He took pessimism into another level.’ She thought, shaking her head in dismay. “Yuuma should put hope in his vocabulary then.” She pats Yuuma’s shoulder. Then her eyes lights up, taking hold of Yuuma’s forearm. “You’re going home right? Accompany me for now!” And pulled Yuuma not caring whether the young doctor agrees or not. “We’ll visit Uncle Maeda.”
Warning alarms through Yuuma’s head, like that time when he was force to go to the mall with Ren as a victim too. He didn’t like the way her eyes lightens up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuki’s Black Panamera Porsche parks in front of a huge but simple manor and quickly goes out the said car, dragging a frozen Yuuma, who was sort of traumatize due to Yuki’s high-speed driving style.
“Uncle!” Yuki greeted, hugging Atsuko’s Father. “Is there any lead on Acchan’s kidnapping?”
“I have some of staff working on it.” Atsuharu smiled sadly, nevertheless glad that his daughter had such a caring friend in Yuki. He noticed a stoic young man behind Yuki and decided to make fun of his daughter's friend. He needs to lighten up the situation. There’s no use wallowing in self-pity for now. That won’t help finding nor saving his beloved daughter. “So… I see that you found yourself a boyfriend, Yuki…” He smiles.
Yuki eyes widen and blushed a bit, while Yuuma coughed. “No Sir… I think you made a mistake on that one.” Yuuma replied, uninterested to the older man’s inquisition. “She’s my boss... Future boss… Unfortunately.”
Yuki elbowed Yuuma’s ribs as she clears her throats. “I’m his BOSS, Uncle…” she clarified, although she was a bit disappointed. Wonder why? “Let’s go back to our previous topic… Any lead on Acchan’s kidnappers?”
“This is our only lead.” Atsuharu shows them the picture that Takamina had brought earlier. “Apparently all of the men that Atsuko’s bodyguard had subdued have this tattoo on their forearm... This is our only clue.”
“Is this a dragon?” Yuki asked.
“Looks like it.” Yuuma replied, staring at the picture. “Did the kidnappers contact you for ransom?”
“No… No phone calls. No mails. Nothing.” Atsuharu replied.
“When was she kidnapped?” Yuuma questions the older man, still focusing on the picture.
“About two days ago.”
Yuki elbowed the ever-so-serious Yuuma again. “I didn’t know you cared that much.” She innocently commented at Yuuma’s intrusive behavior as if she didn’t elbow him. “Are you Acchan’s fan?” She raised an eyebrow at Yuuma.
Yuuma rubs his poor side, where Yuki not-so-gently elbowed him. ‘
What’s her problem?’ He narrowed his eyes at the innocent, smiling boss. Even though his boss was just innocently smiling besides him and the older Maeda, they can feel a dark aura surrounding the graceful young woman. They decided keep a good distance from Yuki to give them a head start if ever Yuki suddenly felt a need to hit someone near her, yet not far enough to agitate the said girl. “Fan? Not really… I don’t like showbiz anyway and I don’t like watching dramas… they have overused plotline idea…” He finally replied. “I was just curious about the kidnapping development.”
“I see.” Yuki replied and turns to the older Maeda. “I’m sorry if he’s being so nosy about the kidnapping incident, Uncle. I know it was hard enough thinking about it and…”
“It’s okay Yuki.” The older Maeda smiled. “He’s good man.” He pats Yuuma’s head while Yuuma just grimace at the gesture. Yuuma’s not really fond of skinship or any intimate gesture.
Yuuma looks at his watch. “Maeda-san. Yuki-sama. I think it’s time for me to go… I have some… appointment… prior to this meeting.” Yuuma said and bows towards Atsuharu. “It was nice meeting you Maeda-san… I pray for the success of Maeda-san’s… I mean Atsuko-san’s rescue operation.” Then he turns to Yuki, “Yuki-sama, accompany Maeda-san for a while. I’m sure he won’t mind having some companion while waiting for an update regarding Maeda-sa-.. I mean Atsuko-san’s kidnapping incident…” With that said he walks briskly out of the mansion and called some taxi to go home.
“I guess that ‘appointment’ was important.” Atsuharu smiled, gently nudging Yuki.
“Maybe… Who knows…” Yuki replied, pouting. “Anyway, let’s just hope that your bodyguards or the Polices save Acchan.” Yuki smiled sadly, turning the TV on for some news reports.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I can’t believe that a group was able to conceal their activities right under my scope.” Nezumi scoffs, swiveling her computer chair in annoyance.
Gekikara giggled. That’s Nezumi’s first time. First time to fail… oh, fail was not the word… It was Nezumi’s first time to be tricked by someone clever enough to avoid the little sneaky mouse. “That’s… interesting.” Gekikara smiled sweetly as she bit her nails. She hopes that group is a worthy opponent.
“I know right.” Nezumi replied. Nezumi hated being left in dark or being tricked. “However… I’m more interested than pissed right now… bypassing my surveillance wasn’t that easy after all… someone powerful: politically, economically, or both, must have backing up this group.” She noted smiling back at Gekikara.
“So…?”
“I say hunt them…” Nezumi smiles turned into a grin, a dark scary one with promises pain and suffering for her prey. “I’ll let you play Geki… to your heart’s content if you like.”
“Like? I’d loved that.” Gekikara giggled gleefully. She’s going to have fun later. “How will you track them?”
“I’ll hack into the security system of the Traffic Bureau… Get those video recordings from 2 days ago and track them.” She explained her plan to Gekikara, while she starts hacking into the said security system to retrieve the video recordings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“How’s the interrogation?” Takamina asked Mii-chan while checking her pistols.
“I don’t know if I call that loyalty or stupidity but…” Mii-chan said. “They won’t talk... They even killed themselves by biting their own tongue then bleed and choke to death.”
“Hmm… I see.” Takamina replied. “Take those bodies to the police… They know what to do with those corpses… Mii-chan… I called her up for information.”
“You got to be kidding Takamina.” Mii-chan said, but Takamina remained quiet as she continues checking her other weapons. Mii-chan sighed. “What did she say?”
“They are a new group with very few criminal activities. She thinks they tried to remain as low profile as they can be to avoid attention.” Takamina explained. “She’s digging deeper as we speak.”
“Okay… update me on that one... I’ll just dump those dead bodies to the forensic department of the Investigation Bureau.” Mii-chan sighs and walks out of the room.
*Hashiridasu BASU oikakete~
Boku wa kimi ni~
Tsutaetakatta~*Takamina grimaced when she hears her ringtone. ‘
I think I should change my ringtone… its mocking me…’ She shakes her head to drive out that unpleasant kidnapping memory. “So?” She asked after pushing the answer button.
‘They’re in the North Kanto region.’ The informant answered. ‘I’ll send you the information on that now.’“Ok thanks…” Takamina smiled, “We’ll start preparing then.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Got it.” Nezumi announced after reviewing each and every video recording of the security system on every roads surrounding Tokyo. “It seems that they had switched several cars while driving around to avoid suspicion until they got into an isolated area in North Kanto region. I retrieve all information regarding the area’s abandoned and able warehouses or factories to pin point their possible location.” Nezumi stands up, went to the room to get her black duffel bag, dragging it out with her. “We’re going to scout around Hitachi City of Ibaraki Prefecture. It would take us 2 hours if we go now or 1 ½ hours if we drive fast enough.” She said, walking out of the room.
Gekikara grins following Nezumi. Nezumi tracks fast. It’s a matter of time until her fun starts.
--RUN-DOWN FACTORY IN HITACHI, IBARAKI PREFECTURE-- Atsuko’s crying her eyes out, mouth gagged, as she watches her kidnappers. Is she going to DIE NOW? Hopefully not now because she doesn’t even reach her dream of being a great actress… Where’s that Takamina or her other bodyguards?!
“It’s been two days now…” One of her kidnappers noted. “What are we going to do with her?”
Atsuko’s eyes widen in fear. She hopes that they would just free her… if that’s possible… even if she has to promise absolute secrecy about them even though she didn’t get any sort of names, since they’re using those stupid number coded names, or any possible way to identify them with that same black shades, black suit and freaking same hair cut! What’s with that? Anyway, Atsuko still hope that she’ll live… at least a little bit longer.
“We don’t have any orders from the boss yet.” The other one replied. “What about you No. 10?”
“Hmm?” No. 10 shrugs. “Nothing… but I think the boss won’t mind if we kill her?”
‘
KILL?!’ Atsuko mentally shrieks, tears forming in her eyes for the nth time.
“Disposing her body is going to be a problem afterwards though.” Someone amongst them muttered out.
“Tsk… Tsk…” No. 10 smirks while waving his index finger. “You’re from the 20s eh? A newbie… There are soooo many ways to dispose a dead bodies or evidences.”
“Then… You won’t mind if we have some fun with her?” Another one asked.
“Whatever…” No. 10 raised his hands in the air lazily. “Remember… I don’t know about that, so I’m keeping my hand clean of that issue.” He smirks, sensing Atsuko’s growing dread at the situation.
“Oho~” The others cheered. “Lucky! She’s quite pretty after all.”
A number of men started gathering near Atsuko when a gunshot or two forced them to stop and armed themselves quickly.
“Who did that?” Several men yelled.
“We have an intruder?”
“…But there’s no report from the team outside!!”
“Contact them!!” No. 10 ordered to the panicking bunch of morons.
“Is there any trouble outside?” Someone asked through the radio transceiver (Walkie Talkie).
‘
We have nothing he--’ Then all they could here was white noise from the transceiver.
“What the--”
“Fixing that won’t help you.” A voice echoed, interrupting them.
“There’s the intruder!” One of them pointed at their ‘intruder’.
The intruder just leans forward on the steel railing bridge above them. “Oh and before you go to your shooting spree mode…” The intruder said as they aimed all of their guns at the intruder. The intruder walks around the railings until it got to a stair leading to where the group and Atsuko were situated. “How about we talk for a little bit?” It said as it stops in the shadowy part of the room.
“Talk about what?”
The intruder finally steps out of the shadow. The Intruder reveals to be a long haired girl wearing a black hoody jacket that shadows over her face. The girl wears something like a formal uniform from a private school with her white shirt covered by a gray knitted vest, striped black and red necktie, and a gray pleated skirt. Her legs were covered by a black stockings and a combat boots to complete her attire. “About how amazingly organized your group is?” Nezumi smirked at the group.
“Well… You sneak a little too well for a little girl.” No. 10 replied.
“I’m quite proud of that skilled of mine...” Nezumi said shrugging her shoulder as she walks near Atsuko. “May I know the reason behind kidnapping the famous Maeda-san? Money is out of question since you did not contact for ransom.”
“You know a little too much... I think.”
“Oh, not really… It’s all over the news, you know.” Nezumi took out several newspapers, headlining Atsuko’s disappearance and toss it unto the ground. “Some foolish tabloids even speculate that she was not really kidnapped but instead run away with an anonymous lover to restart a new live abroad. Funny isn’t it? You can get all sorts of information in a flash through media… but digging for the truth among their well-created lies was like searching for a needle in a haystack.”
Atsuko turned to Nezumi as she heard about the tabloids’ CRAZY speculation. How dare they even consider that her kidnapping was a fraud?!
“You’re quite damn smart for a girl… but sorry… No answer for you, Little Girl.”
“Ah… that would be bad… but I have several theories though… ” Nezumi grins, “Want to hear it?”
“Not interested.” No. 10 said.
“So? You won’t really talk?”
“…” No. 10 stared at Nezumi. “Kill her.”
The group aimed at Nezumi and Atsuko, but loud banging sound interrupted their action. The sound came from the metal door entrance of the factory.
“What’s that?” they asked, turning to look at the metal door. Some aiming at the door while the others were still watching over Nezumi.
Nezumi grins. “I’d be very careful if I were you.”
The metal door finally gave up under the continuous striking force of the offender and flew a few feet away from its previous position. A sound of a female giggling gleefully was heard in the factory as a silhouette of a female figure, being lit by the moonlight, appears in the entrance. She walks inside the factory dragging a bloodied body of a man by his hair. A crazy grin appears in her face upon seeing another group of black suited men inside. Great! More toys to play with!
“No. 15!!!” No. 10 yelled.
Gekikara tilted her head to the side and bringing the groaning No. 15 to her eye level. “No. 15?” She asked giggling. “No. 15’s boring.”
“Why you!!” No. 10 shots at Gekikara, but Gekikara quickly use No. 15 as her human shield.
“Are you angry?” Gekikara asked, still giggling, looking at the enraged No. 10, “Are you really angry?”
Several shot was made but every shot was either dodged or just shielded by the almost dead body of No. 15. “You’re angry.” Gekikara stops giggling and seriously looks at the group. She throws No. 15 at them and pops her neck. She suddenly grins at them and quickly runs towards the man nearest to her, getting hold of his head and smashed the head to the cemented ground, some of the blood splattered to her already bloodied face and black leather jacket as a sickening sound of skull crushing echoed on the floor echoed.
“Wha-what are staring at?!” No. 10 shouts. “Call the other team outside and start shooting her!!!”
“Sir… The others… are died.”
“WHAT?! HOW?” No. 10 looked past the forcefully broken door and saw bloodied bodies mess of their fallen allies outside.
Gekikara saw them looking over the dead bodies of her previous playmates and chuckles. She bit her gloved finger and tasted some blood on it. She stops for a second and stares at her blood-spattered gloved-hands, and then starts giggling maniacally. “Ne?” She muttered, “You won’t bore me like them, right?” She asked while pointing at the fallen bodies outside, chuckling to herself, “Or else I’ll destroy you…” she added seriously, staring at the men’s eyes. “All of you.”
Atsuko stares in fear at the blood covered Gekikara. ‘
She’s not normal! Her eyes… that scary giggles… How could a girl like her do something like that?’ Atsuko mentally shouts. In this kind of situation, she would absolutely run as fast as she can… too bad… she’s still tied in that same chair for two days, gagged and is watching this horrifying scene. Oh wait, she can still close her eyes… but the sounds of bones cracking/breaking/crushing would still supply her overly-creative mind some good images of her dying kidnappers. Fitting but creepy… this will definitely give her some nightmare. She looks at Nezumi, who was quite amused at the development.
“Shoot her!!!” No. 10 orders. “NOW!!”
Some his men frantically aims at Gekikara with their shaking hands, shooting at her like what their leader had ordered them to do. Most of the bullets missed its target, some hit her shoulder, others hit her legs, yet no one was able to actually shoot her vital body parts due to their quivering hands. What scares them the most was the fact that Gekikara tilting her head to the side as if the gunshots that she wasn’t able to dodge don’t hurt at all… Scratch that, she seems like she doesn’t care at all… and those are a freaking gunshots. Most people would be scared from hearing a gunshot and cried to death if they are actually shot.
Gekikara look blankly at the men when they finally run out of ammo. “Finished already?” She asked.
“Sh**… I’m out of ammo!!!”
“We need to reload!!”
“Where are the spare magazines?!”
“Fools! Take out your knives!” No. 10 yelled at his terrified members. “Stab her to death if needed!”
The kidnappers scram wildly, some are searching to their spare magazines while others followed No. 10’s order and circled around Gekikara.
“Magazines?” Nezumi asked the panicking men, “This?” She holds up a plastic full of magazines.
“Why you!!!”
“Kill that girl!”
Nezumi take her own pistol out and shot any threats without hesitation.
Gekikara glared at Nezumi. How dare that little mouse disrupt her fun? Nezumi just shrugs in reply at Gekikara. “Don’t you even dare interrupt… I’ll destroy them.” She growled.
“Fine. Fine.” Nezumi grins, raising her hands in the air still holding her pistol. ‘
Why so serious, Geki?’ she thought.
While Gekikara resumes her fun with the kidnappers, Nezumi turned to Atsuko as she puts her gun in the holster under her gray skirt. “I’m sure you’re kind of uncomfortable being gagged and all.” Nezumi snickers at Atsuko.
‘
Duh!’ Atsuko thought as she glared at Nezumi.
“Want me to take that off?” Nezumi asked.
Atsuko frantically nods her head in agreement.
“But I won’t untie you.” Nezumi said, while Atsuko gaped at her. “You might run like a headless chicken and end up being killed in the crossfire.” She pointed at the commotion in front of them. “Unless you want to die now…”
Atsuko shakes her head at that thought.
Nezumi finally take gag off Atsuko and made a hushing sign at Atsuko by holding her index finger in front of her lips. “I’ll stay quiet if I were you Atsuko-san.” She smirks and then takes hold of Atsuko’s chin tilting Atsuko’s head from side to side. “No visible bruising or physical injury… That’s good.” Nezumi noted. “I’ll ask some question… just shake or nod your head, ‘kay? Do you feel any pain in any part of your body?”
Atsuko shakes her head. ‘
I do feel numb though…’ Atsuko mentally replied. ‘
I’ve been tied in this same chair for two days now.’
Nezumi nods and resumes on checking up Atsuko’s condition. “It seems that your overall physical condition is okay.” Nezumi said while she sets her bag pack on the floor in front of Atsuko and takes out a small pouch and opened it.
Atsuko saw a variety of vials and sealed injection syringes and needles of all sizes inside the pouch. Sensing that something bad will happen, Atsuko decided to asked the hooded-girl. “What are yo--”
“I told you to stay quiet right?” Nezumi said as she tilts her head to look at Atsuko through her hood. Nezumi pulled out a vial, reads the inscription glued to the said vial, take some injection needle and syringe.
“Bu--”
Nezumi smirked as she fills the syringe with the fluid inside the vial. Atsuko visibly flinched when she saw Nezumi’s smirk. “Don’t worry.” Nezumi chuckles, “This incident is nothing but just a bad dream, Acchan~” and with that Nezumi injected Atsuko with the unknown fluid.
Atsuko panicked as her vision became blurred, her breathing became shallow and her heart feels like it’s going to burst. ‘
What’s happening?’ Atsuko thought, feeling dizzy. ‘
I can’t con--’ Atsuko black out. The last thing she saw was a smirking Nezumi.
“Sleep tight, Princess…” Nezumi murmured. “We just don’t need another witness at the present.” She pulled out her media tablet and begins tapping on the screen.
*Tap*
*Tap*
*Swipe*
*Tap*
“They’re in the area…” Nezumi sighed, “But they’re going to a wrong location.”
Meanwhile, Gekikara had reduced the number of her opponent to a mere three people including the impromptu leader No. 10. She was still grinning at the three even with the multiple knife wound inflicted to her body. "I'm getting bored now..." She said, "Useless... Everyone's useless..." she chuckles, stepping on some dead bodies of her fallen opponents as she walks towards the three.
"YOU MONSTER!!!" one of the three yelled, tightening his fist on his brass knuckle, and runs to Gekikara. He punched Gekikara on the face making her tumble back a bit. Seeing this as a chance, he continuously punches Gekikara on the face and sometimes on her abdomen. He thought his foe is finally too weak to fight back and hopefully would just die, but when he heard her giggling he knows that this ‘monster’ is not hurting at all. And his using a brass knuckle to boot all his punches. ‘
Dammit!’ He thought when Gekikara catches his fist.
Gekikara smiles while holding the man’s fist. Tightening her hold on the man’s fist, she responds with the same action that he did earlier.
“Ugh.” The man groans.
While Gekikara was busy punching her victim, another one quickly runs to Gekikara to stab her but Gekikara intercept the other man’s attack by catching his armed hand, still holding on to her victim’s fist, and directed the knife to stab the neck of her battered victim.
“OH SH**!”
After releasing her dead foe, Gekikara used the same knife to stab the other one repeatedly. She grins at the man and throws him aside with the knife embedded to his abdomen. She looks at her last opponent, grinning gleefully when she notice that the last one was obviously fuming. “Are you mad?” she giggled happily.
“Mad?” No. 10 asked. “I’m not just mad! I’M VERY ANGRY!” He growled, loosening his necktie and throwing of his black jacket suit to the side. “I’ll make you pay!” He tightens his hold on his own brass knuckles.
Gekikara just grins as she steps back to dodge No. 10’s hook punch, then he made a combo of a jab and a straight punch. She avoided the jab but was hit by the straight punch. She staggered a bit and was hit quickly by a jab on her side. Gekikara holds her side, giggling, and tackles No. 10. She repeatedly punches No. 10’s face until he got the chance to throw her off him. He quickly hits her with a jab on the abdomen; however Gekikara was able to hold his arm and headbutts No. 10.
“Oi…” Nezumi yelled. “Finish that now… We’re wasting our time in here.” Then she goes back to tapping something on her media tablet.
Gekikara nodded at Nezumi. “Sorry… This is game over...” Gekikara giggled, “I guess.” She took No. 10’s brass knuckles and inspects it. She equips herself with the brass knuckles and strikes her opponents repeatedly. Her last strike was on No. 10’s throat, killing him. “Bye, bye~” She said, standing up.
“Finish?” Nezumi asked looking around to see if everyone’s dead.
“Yes.” Gekikara licks her lips in satisfaction.
“Good.” Nezumi replied, hides her media tablet, and then pulled out her phone. She types something on it and smirked. “And send.” She looks at the blood covered Gekikara and grins. “Let’s get out of here… they’re on the way now… but first…” Nezumi takes one of the kidnapper’s guns, reload it with the spare magazine that she had and shot every single dead person on their head. “Done!” She exclaims and throws the gun away.
Gekikara furrows her eyebrow at Nezumi.
“I know you took very good care of these kidnappers.” Nezumi smiles at Gekikara, “It was just a safety measure, Geki… Let’s go now. You need some treatment too… that, and some long warm bath. You stink of blood.” Nezumi grumbled and lead Gekikara out of the factory, leaving a unconscious Atsuko and their bloody mess.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A blaring sound of siren was heard as a couple of Polices car and one black car arrived at the run-down factory. They see a number of dead bodies outside scattered in front of the factory.
“What…” Sayaka murmured as she step out of the car, stunned at the number of corpse outside. “…happened here?”
“Atsuko-san.” Takamina yelled loudly, running inside the factory. Mii-chan, Jurina and some polices followed Takamina inside.
“Sayaka… take some polices and check around for some survivors.” Yuko ordered before following Takamina.
When Takamina and the others got inside, they are once again stunned at the massacre-like scene before them. It was like the scene from the outside, the difference was the increase of number and the huge volume of blood covering the area. Takamina saw Atsuko unconscious, still bounded on the chair. “Atsuko!” She runs to Atsuko while carefully avoiding the corpses. “Atsuko! Atsuko!” She said, while slapping Atsuko’s cheek lightly and then checks for some pulse. “She’s dead asleep! Mii-chan! Can check up on her?”
“Got it!” Mii-chan settles infront of Atsuko to make sure that she’s okay. “I think she’s fine… but we have to bring her to the hospital to make sure that Atsuko’s alright. We don’t know what exactly happened to her.”
Takamina nodded and helped Mii-chan untie the rope that was bounding Atsuko to the chair. She carried Atsuko in bridal-style to get her to the car. “Mii-chan… Jurina… Let’s go! We’ll have to get Atsuko to the hospital. Yuko… We’ll leave everything in your care.” Takamina said out while walking out of the factory.
Yuko grimaced as she watches Takamina leave. “Great… another problem...” she sighed when she turns back to the bloody scene. Again. “Sae! Take another group with you to check every corner of this factory… I don’t want another surprise explosion happening.”
“Affirmmative!” Sae salutes at Yuko and leads another group to look for a bomb or two.
‘
I wonder who did this…’ Yuko thought as she helps the other police on checking each dead body.
I can imagine that some of you thinking about how fast Acchan was saved in this chapter. --> My sister even asked me that same question.
My answer: I want to get rid of this ASAP... and move on to another problem... Whatever will that be...
So that's that...
For now, my creative juice was drained to zero...
I'll start watching another season of "Most Evil" and "Masterminds" to my heart's content until some idea for this story hits me.
Thanks and Ja ne~
