Love Capture: CH09.2
It didn’t take that long for both of them to arrive at the park, which was the place they came for their first date. She remembered this place very well and went in deep to that very same place she sat down with the thief. After they arrived at the place, Mayu turned back to glare right into her eyes…those sparkling cold eyes stared deeply into her mind. Yuki knew that this was the moment that was either now or never.
“I need to talk to you.”
“What?”
“…I want to talk about this revenge.”
Mayu looked very annoyed. After she had some heated argument with Takamina about this same topic, now she had to talk with the annoying officer about this again. She was dragged out this far to the park just for this talk she didn’t want to discuss at all. Before Mayu could shut her up, Yuki interrupted first and finished her explanation.
“Will revenge make you feel better? Will it relief your pain??”
“…What do you know? Don’t say like you know it.”
“I know for sure that revenging will just make the whole chain continue!!”
“…”
“I know how hard it is to forgive someone for what they done intentionally.”
“Are you done with your blabbering?”
Mayu stayed stubborn and arrogant at the same time. She wouldn’t plan to listen to Yuki at all but it didn’t make her stop. She knew in some ways…her words would reach her, it was just that she had to say it out and to make her know that there would be people around her supporting her.
“What Takamina-san said is true. There will be people here supporting you. Don’t forget about Miyuki…she’s always worried about you, and yearn to be with you for all these years.”
“…”
The moment that Watanabe stayed in silence, it was a good sign she was listening to Yuki. That’s when the officer knew she successfully got Mayu’s attention and she pushed through it without holding back. If she wanted to save the mouse from the cycle of revenge, it was a moment of now or never…
“You two can be together again. She’s your only family member left! Don’t let this revenge feelings prevent you two from being together again…”
“…What do you know? I doubt you can say that if you were in my shoes.”
“I guess so. I would hate you so much that I want to kill you if you harm my father.”
“Then you should know—”
“But that’s before I met you and everyone.”
“…Huh?”
“You did many horrible things that couldn’t be forgiven. You killed people. You brought despair to many families…just like what my father did to yours.”
“I won’t deny that.”
Mayu stood firm with her believe and Yuki only stared back at her. Slowly, she approached her and took her hand. Holding it tightly that it grabbed Mayu’s full attention before she continued where she left off. Only but hoping her words would reach down to Mayu.
“But you don’t enjoy hurting others. I know it…you have a warm heart, and with all the rights I have…I want to use it all for just this one plead to you.”
“What…?”
It made Mayu stumbled slightly. This was the first time someone proposed her such an outrageous idea like this, by using all of her rights to make any plead to her for the sake of this one request. However, it told the mouse that it must be one of a huge request…and she waited to hear what the officer wanted to say to her.
“…Please stop the revenge, and go back to be with Miyuki.”
“W-What…?”
Her voice stuttered, at first she thought Yuki was joking, but that seriousness in her eyes didn’t say so. The officer was calm, decisive, and determined, she was full on serious with what she said and Mayu couldn’t believe how insane this woman was. She knew how much she cursed and hated Kashiwagi family for robbing everything from her…yet she was asking Mayu to stop this hatred that had been boiling for the past 12 years that easily? It did made her anger boiled up…and her hatred as well. The very own daughter of the man responsible for killing her parents told her to stop her revenge.
“What if I say no?”
That silence between the two of them, and only they stared into each other’s eyes without a single word after that. However, the spark of persistence and determination in Yuki’s eyes did not fade away at the slightest. It stared back at Mayu with such pure intentions. Just as much as Mayu was planning not to back down, Yuki was the same as well.
“Then I will stop you. I won’t let you take the revenge.”
“How could a weakling like you do to stop me?”
“…I will stop you, no matter what.”
Yuki held another hand and then brought it together closely to her heart. Letting Mayu felt her heart beating, and thankfully that she didn’t pull her hand away. Watanabe allowed her hands to feel that beat pounding against her ribs, that was the first time she realized that someone’s heartbeat could be that warm…
“No one can fight all their problems alone. Not you, or even me. That’s why, as I promised…I’ll never leave you, and I’ll carry that burden with you. I will never let go of you, I promise.”
“…!”
Mayu was in utter shock, but as there was a little sign of resistance from her, Yuki pulled her in closely and rested her forehead onto Mayu’s. Feeling that warmth against her body, she felt amazingly comforted by it. The officer slowly moved her head away slightly allowing an eye contact with Watanabe…and it was like it's the first time she witnessed that life in those coldhearted eyes. Nothing was clouded in those beautiful orbs and only she could feel Mayu’s feelings through it…as if the real Mayu was staring back at her. It was like a moment of connection that it felt as if both of the were the only two in the world. Those eyes…Yuki could feel that vulnerable side that was hidden for the whole time resurfaced up. That was Mayu’s real self, she was a vulnerable girl with a fragile heart. The only way for her to survive was to be stronger and seek for revenge, its her fuel for her wounded soul to live on in this cruel world. Allowing the silence to do all the communication between the two. It was like everything was going in a flow as their faces slowly closed the gap between the two of them. That moment of life, Yuki finally saw Mayu’s real side and she was more than ready to embrace her in tenderly with love. Yuki moved in more as both of them slowly closed their eyes before their lips met one another.
~KYAAAAAHHH~
“…!!!”
Both of them flinched and its like Mayu realized herself allowing her hidden side to resurface up. She instantly pushed Yuki away and had that distress expression. That moment Yuki was able to reach her but that opportunity slipped away. But what was that scream? Before any of them could even say a word, they heard the next sound…the gunshot.
~BANG~BANG~BANG~
~GAAAAAAHHH~
Gunshots. Screams of pain. What was going on? Both of them could hear the sound of men, women, and children screaming in fear…which just made Mayu’s face went pale instantly. She recognized that voice really well…it was the voice that belonged to one of the kids in the orphanage. She sprinted off immediately without giving any single and so Yuki rushed after her without further ado or else she would lose track of the mouse. She was certain a fast runner after all.
-
“W-Waaaahh…!!”
The sound of the child got louder as Mayu and Yuki eventually approached closer to the dark alley. As they made the turn at the corner at this public street, she could see listless bodies on the floor, and a kid that were cornered against the bricked wall in fear. Yuki finally caught up with her and witnessed the whole scene as well…she could see the one that wield the gun was in that official officer outfit, as well as that badge on the side of their arm indicated they were from the Crime Investigation Department…the same department as her. High likely they were her father’s men, only his men would be shooting civilians without hesitation. It was deadly obvious that her father would sent his men to look for his missing daughter, especially when she was kidnapped by someone. His daughter carried the secret of SuperSoldier project, as well as being his only family left too.
“Tell me, do you see the woman name Yuki around here?”
“I-I…”
One of the orphanage kids was threatened and it seemed the adults did try to protect them but they got shot instead. Without further ado, Mayu pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger immediately. She didn’t hesitate to shoot them in the head to stop them from harming the orphan girl. When it comes to protect the kids and her family, she turned into a merciless monster that was ready to kill anyone in her way.
“Saki!!”
~BANG~
The man that was threatening the child collapsed onto the floor and made all the other officers turned to her with their armed gun. Mayu wasn’t terrified at the slightest. She could see the young orphan ran away with that chance which that gave her a slight relief. Yuki rushed to her side immediately and stayed closely to her, and that was when the officers recognize her. She was the daughter of Kashiwagi Miura after all, the head of C.I. department, obviously her father’s men would recognize their boss’s daughter at that instant. The leader of the team ordered his men to put their aim down since they were ordered to find Yuki, not to kill her.
“Put your aim down!”
“Yes sir.”
They all replied in unison and lowered their aim down, but not Mayu, she was still holding the gun firmly and this time she aimed at the man whom was likely to be the leader of this group of officers. He came forward to confront with both Mayu and Yuki face to face. He lowered his head down softly and spoke to them calmly instead of using force.
“We’ve been looking for you, Yuki-san. Your father is worried about you.”
“…Is he?”
“He is indeed.”
“I really doubt that.”
Yuki confronted them and stood by Mayu’s side. It was so obvious that she was on the thief’s side and glared back at the officers right in front of her. She doubted that her father was worried about her…but at the same time she couldn’t tell what her father was plotting and thinking right now. After she had refused to agree with his plan and escaped away, Yuki couldn’t predict what would her father do after she returned back…everything would be different than before, for certain.
“We’re just here to bring you back. We come in peace.”
“My ass, you shot them…! They’re just civilians!”
“Unfortunately, they interfered and did not support the officer’s investigation. We will do anything to accomplish our objective. If it wasn’t for Yuki-san with you, we would’ve shoot you down without hesitation as well.”
“Don’t!! Don’t you dare shoot her or anyone!”
Yuki stepped forward and yelled angrily. She was angered when the young Watanabe was threatened. It made Mayu startled slightly as she can’t remember the last time she saw those eyes filled with anger. It seemed she got used to Yuki submitted herself and always let Mayu did what she wanted, and it just reminded her of the fierce hunter that used to hunt her down without any mercy of turning the gun at her…that officer Kashiwagi. So many things had changed since then until now, they used to turn their guns to each other, and now…they were somehow together.
“We don’t intend to hurt anyone, Yuki-san. We need to take you back home as we were ordered by your father.”
“…”
“He passed me a message to you…
I give you the chance to come back unharmed. If not, we shall bring you back by force, no matter what ma’am.”
The man smiled before he uttered his words. The way he uttered just similar to what her father would say, cold and blunt. She could see the other officers behind the leader prepared their guns ready to fire at anytime. It really did left Yuki no choice, she didn’t want Mayu unharmed…and she could see the two adults on the floor squirmed in pain from the gunshot, they were still alive, but if they were not treated quickly it wouldn’t look nice at all.
“So what’s your answer Yuki-san?”
“…Very well, you win…I’ll go with you.”
“What?”
Before Yuki could move forward, Mayu lowered her gun down and grabbed that thin wrist forcefully. She tugged her back roughly and it made them have that short eye contact with each other. Mayu made sure she hid her actual feelings underneath her angry poker face so no one would be able to read her thoughts.
“Mayu, let me go.”
“I didn’t risk my life just to see you walk away like this. You know if you go back you’ll…”
“High likely I’ll be locked up in a cell again. I know that.”
“Then why—”
“Because I have to.”
She replied firmly without hesitation. Slowly took Mayu’s hand off from her wrist to make herself free. She seemed to have some thoughts run in mind and no one could tell what she was thinking. However, those eyes told Mayu more than enough…it was decisive, yet hinted with sadness in it…it didn’t give her such a good feeling, as if it would be the last time she would see Yuki. Those eyes were same to what her parents had right before their last breath…same to what Rena had before she disappeared…it were eyes filled with farewell intention.
“There are things that only I could, it might be my fate to do this… as the daughter of a man that destroy your family. We're just partners for benefit after all, there's nothing for us to lose after all.”
“…!”
“Your revenge…I will end it. So please, it's the time you should find your happiness.”
She smiled for one last time and took off her necklace. She took her hand and put it onto her hand. It was the memento of her mother, it was her protective charm and it was the only thing she had she could give to Mayu. The thief was still stunned with Yuki’s decision and no words were uttered from her lips.
“I want you to keep it…and I guess it's a goodbye.”
“…O-Oi—!”
She walked forward towards the group of officers, hoping that they would keep their words to not hurt others after she gave in to them. Despite Mayu wanted to run in to stop the crazy raven-haired woman from leaving, she wondered why she couldn’t move her feet at all. It was as if something inside her was preventing her from doing so. Only but remain in silence and watched Yuki slowly walked out from her life, it was the same feeling when she saw her parents…as they died right before her eyes. That traumatized feeling returned back and Mayu hated to admit that her body was actually trembling from it. Unconsciously, she was scared…
“If I go with you, please don’t hurt anyone.”
“…Yuki-san, your father is waiting.”
“Answer me first that you won’t hurt anyone.”
“Taking you back home is our priority, and our boss’s command is absolute ma’am.”
The officers raised their guns up and before anything could be done, the shot the two wounded men on the floor to end their life quickly. Making both Mayu and Yuki stunned, they turned the guns towards Mayu this time and pulled the trigger. The raven-haired’s eyes grew wide with fear and shock, however the officer close by to her locked her with handcuffs so to prevent her from escaping again. Gladly Mayu managed to dodge it but it sheared passed her cheek and left a thin cut on it.
“Don’t hurt her! PLEASE!!”
“Maybe I forgot to tell you what your father also said…he told us to clean up everything that came in our way too, in order to protect our department’s image and secret.”
Yuki was taken away and she was blindfolded as well. Only darkness consumed over her mind and it was filled with fear. She could only hear multiple gunshots and yelling everywhere. She screamed to the top of her lungs, calling Mayu’s name restlessly, obviously she struggled with all the strength she got but she couldn’t possibly win over her father’s elite men. She was thrown forcefully into this place and the momentum made the blindfold loosed up. She realized she was thrown into the van and her instinct was to escape from here, but the door shut tightly before she could do anything. She crashed her body against the door but it was pointless and she could only hear the voice of the team leader making an order to his men.
“Kill her, make sure they’re dead.”
“Yes sir.”
Yuki’s heart sank in utmost fear, only sounds of the gunshot were heard and she shook her head while her body was trembling. She was in complete terrified with the fact of the fighting happening outside and anything could happen to Mayu right now. Each sound of the trigger pulled…it haunted her how much each bullet could end Mayu’s life. She was too panicked to notice that the commander said ‘they’ instead of her, which meant that someone was also out there as well. Yuki’s eyes became teary and banged her head against the metal door. Shaking her head while bit her lips…only she could pray that nothing would happen to her…hoping that Mayu would be safe and alive.
“Mayu…Mayu…! Please be alright…please.”
The vehicle moved despite the sound of the gunshots was going on. It seemed they were trying to take her out from there as quickly as possible. Despite she was utterly worried about Mayu, but she had something to do, she needed to prepare herself to confront with her father…and this time, there was no space for mistakes. At least, she wanted to make things right…and only she could do it.

“Taking you back home is our priority, and our boss’s command is absolute ma’am.”
The officers raised their guns up and before anything could be done, the shot the two wounded men on the floor to end their life quickly. Making both Mayu and Yuki stunned, they turned the guns towards Mayu this time and pulled the trigger. The raven-haired’s eyes grew wide with fear and shock, however the officer close by to her locked her with handcuffs so to prevent her from escaping again. Gladly Mayu managed to dodge it but it sheared passed her cheek and left a thin cut on it.
“Don’t hurt her! PLEASE!!”
“Maybe I forgot to tell you what your father also said…he told us to clean up everything that came in our way too, in order to protect our department’s image and secret.”
Yuki was taken away and she was blindfolded as well. Mayu could see the woman being taken away and she could see armed officers pointing the guns at her. It was the brink of life or death, and she instinctively pulled her gun up and fight back. Obviously they were not planning to keep their words with Yuki, and despite she wanted to take her toy back…she needed to survive through this first. She could hear that woman kept shouting out her name, with so much worries and fear…
“Mayu! Mayu!! Mayu!!”
~BANG~BANG~BANG~
She kept hearing it until she eventually was thrown into the van that was distance away. She could feel her own heart pounding strongly against her ribs. It was the moment she sense death so close to her and she managed to kill one more officer and injured two more, but it wasn’t enough to save her from a storm of officers in such an opened area like this. The commander ordered his men as he knew that he would win over Mayu in terms of quantity number of people, for just one individual to defeat the whole team of elite officers would likely to be impossible, even a SuperSoldier would truly have a tough time to deal with it.
“Finish it.”
~BANG~BANG~BANG~
Before the officers could pull the trigger the gun snapped from their hands. The brink of moment that she wasn’t dead, she thought she would be…if it weren’t for those gunshots that disarmed the officers. She could Yuko stood firmly on her ground as she managed to save Watanabe right on time. It was long enough to stun off the officers and to give Mayu the opportunity to retreat. She knew that Yuko did this to buy the time and the mouse had to have faith on her leg powers…to grant her the speed of wind.
“Kill that woman over there too.”
“Yes sir!”
They turned their guns towards Yuko but she was already gone. With a blink of moment, the squirrel had disappeared from their sight and that’s when the commander ordered them to pursue over the two of them immediately. No one that saw them must survive to say a word, which was what Kashiwagi Miura ordered them before they left.
“Kill her, make sure they’re dead.”
“Yes sir.”
-
They pursued after them deep into the dark alley and it seemed the mouse that finally caught up with the squirrel but Miura’s elite forces were still pursuing them. Obviously Mayu didn’t know how did Yuko know she was there and if it weren’t for her she would be in deep trouble.
“…How did you I’m here?”
“Saki told me you’re in danger.”
The kid that Mayu saved ran back to tell Yuko about her, and that saved her life. She was relieved that the orphan girl was safe and sound, but they had something to deal with right now. They could hear footsteps coming for them…the officers trying to hunt them down, but they wouldn’t lose that easily in their territory. They knew this place like a back of their hands… they both stopped at the same time and prepared their guns and waited for the officers to finally catch up with them. They hid at each side of the small path so let the officers ran passed the main path before they could give them a preemptive kill. A couple of officers ran passed them and that was when both the mouse and squirrel came out from their hiding and shot them all from behind. Obviously, they didn’t have the choice but to land all the vital spots so to kill them instantly without giving them prolonging death. However, there were more officers coming from behind them and they were more than ready to shoot the two of them any moment. However, both of them were not afraid at the slightest and did not turn back at all…they knew this place like a back of their hands, as well as they had allies that would protect their backs.
“Die you little piece of shits…!”
“Sorry I can’t let you do that.”
A calm mature voice echoed in the alley before they realized one more enemy jumped from above. Rena grabbed both of the officer’s back neck and snapped it with brute force. The power of the SuperSoldier lies in her despite she was not a successful subject; at the very least she trained to be able to bring her powers out to its maximum potential. There were a few survived officers that were lucky that were not in the front line. They were glaring at them with such fear…they were just too strong. That’s when they realize that they couldn’t kill them if they were together…they were completely invisible. However, before they could run away, there was a young girl that was behind trapping them already. She was cracking her fingers with that ecstatic grin across her face. It seemed Center had came out to take the fun role of hunting even just a little. This was truly essential, and she needed to kill them.
“Too bad, I can’t let you get away…alive.”
-
They all cleaned up all the officers that came for them. At least they did not hear anything anymore so they were safe, for now. However, another serious issue arose up as Yuki went with them for the sake of ensuring Mayu and the other two wounded men’s safety…but they broke the promise. The mouse had to inform Yuko about the unfortunate death of the two men that saved Saki, but she was unable to save them in return. These officers were far more serious than what anyone of them thought…it seemed they were getting close to their main enemies after all. He wouldn’t leave them be as well after they killed his met like vegetables. It was about time they needed to discuss about this matter seriously. Mayu told everything she knew and how Kashiwagi Miura, the man responsible for her family’s massacre planned to revive the SuperSoldier Project up again. Mariko sure knew that Miura was a part of the project that was long disappeared…and a decade after that he planned to revive it. It seemed Mariko knew about it but wasn’t so sure whether that information was true or not, but now that she got Mayu’s confirmation, it made her decision became solid. That was when Mariko decided to take action on this matter. After this horrified project had disappeared…she swore she would never allow it to revive back again. There were enough victims from this already, just like Jurina, Rena, and her. Maybe it was the time for them to make a move on this, either ways, Miura wouldn’t let them go freely that easily as well. They had two choices to pick, either do something, or wait for them to come kill every single one in dark alley. The right person to end all of this mess would be the test subjects from the project themselves, let the creation destroy the creator.
“Rena, Yuko, I’ll need you two to help gather information for me, it is about time we make the move.”
“Yes ma’am.”
Both of the older women nodded firmly to their order before Mariko turned to the other two younger girls. She asked Jurina to look after Mayu since she still needed to recover from her old wounds. She ordered the mouse to rest as much as she could in order to be ready for their strike. There were a couple of things that Mariko wished to discuss to only Yuko and Rena, and so the two younger ones had to leave the room.
-
Jurina simply followed her friend around as she was asked to look after Mayu at all cost. However, by the time they arrived in front of the mouse’s private room, she requested to be alone and she would only be in her room. She wanted to have some time alone to think of things right now, her mind seemed to be messed up somehow.
“Come nag me later when I got out from my room. I want to be alone.”
“Okay, if you need anything I’ll be sitting out here waiting for Rena-chan.”
“…Right.”
Finally Mayu got her time to be alone in her room to reflect over many things that happened. She could smell a different scent in her room…it was Yuki’s scent. It just reminded her that she was in this room today when they were talking about how Mayu despised her. After she had put some thought to it again she wondered whether she really did meant it or not. Slowly, she dug her hand into her pocket and pulled out that small golden necklace…that Yuki left for her. She only stared at it and remembered it used to be around her neck all the time, the officer never let it stay away from her at all, and it must be special to her.
“…”
She sighed as she slowly sat on her bed while playing with that necklace with her fingers. If Mariko planned to annihilate the SuperSoldier project along with Kashiwagi Miura, would that mean that she would have to pull the trigger on Yuki? Would she be able to do so? For some reason it made her heart throbbed in pain just to think about it. Never she felt this way before and she could never understand why she’s feeling like this. Just as much as it brought her annoyance…it brought her fear and devastation. She shook her head, having such a huge confusion of her life. Using all her time silently in her room…her mind was completely occupied with just one thing…just about Yuki.
