AN: this is the 2nd book of my revenge trilogy. There might not be too much fluffy bunnies on the loose in here but it has the supernatural. Those who want the fluffy parts should read the Valentine's Day Revenge and the White Day's revenge that will come after this one (however this will be quite long so…)
AN: I made some changes with kaede's age… if there are some romantics out there… you'll know why she suddenly turned young… (o)
Description: Spoilers. What if gene's death was actually a ghost psychic's fault? What if the ghost actually wants revenge against the whole of Naru's biological relatives, killing them every 3 and a half years? What if, to lure Naru, it would hurt Mai…?! 2nd book of the Revenge Series
Chapter 1: A Killer Caught…
"Noll" Lin said…
Flash back:
I brought the redhead woman to SPR. She was nervous but she didn't speak. When we reached the office, everything was already stripped off (an: refer to Valentine's Day revenge).
Matsuzaki-san and Takigawa-san were about to have a shouting mactch when we came in. Brown-san and Hara-san were chatting. Lin's computer could be heard as he supposedly typed away at his keyboard. I looked absentmindedly at Mai's empty seat. She and Yasuhara-san are having a date. They were about to ―
'No' I said to myself. Control… Control… Control… Time to get this going.
"Lin, come to my office and bring your notebook (an: that's the "slang" for laptop, right?)."
I paused. Madoka came to the room carrying a grocery of mint, lemon and jasmine tea.
Mai always makes the tea. She's out for the meantime…
"Madoka, please park this woman's car to any parking space near here. It's the blue one in the middle of the street."
Then I dragged the woman to my office. I didn't actually drag. I pulled her wrist and she follows. I saw Lin already busy with his computer. I gestured the woman to sit down I took my notebook and my pen. I didn't bother to remove my coat (AN: the rings are inside)(refer to Valentine's Day revenge : )
End of Flash Back
I didn't answer to Lin. I just asked the woman…
"What's your name?"
"Kaede Tanaka…" she answered while looking at her fingernails, head bowed down.
"Age"
"18… Why don't we just cut the chase here?"
"OK." I said as bitter anger was trying to overcome me, "Why did you run over Gene?"
She became pale but she answered my question.
"I'm not so sure but…"
Narration: (Kaede's POV)
I was driving my car peacefully. It may seem that it's impossible but I tried to exorcise my dead uncle's spirit by giving him what he wants and finishing his unfinished business. He asked me to dirve him to a lake and I followed…
"Uncle, why do you want to passover at that lake?" I asked.
"Its serene surroundings make me feel good."
"But, are you allowed to enter it? I heard it locks spirits of people in its deep waters…"
"That's only an old myth, Kaede."
After that, I felt as if the car became very cold. Then darkness smothered all over my face. I started to lose control over my body. I just felt the car bump something unusual. I gathered all of my strength to open my eyes.
"Uncle, did something happen?" I asked but my uncle was outside the car already, looking at the black mass lying on the road that carried my car's tire marks. I was so shocked that it was a person. I was more shocked when I saw that it was Gene. I looked at my uncle and he just smiled at me.
"You will be my tool now."
After he said that, I passed out. When I came to myself once again, I was already in front of the lake. I looked out and saw something white floating and submerging in the middle of the lake. I took it in as a wild dream. I never saw my uncle again so I thought he already passed on. When I heard in the news that Eugene Davis was missing, I panicked.
End of Narration
"Is that all?" I asked. Something else bothered me…
"Yes…" she answered, trembling.
"How did you know it was Gene, Eugene Davis?"
"I also have latent sensitivity." So that's it…?!
"And still, you didn't tell the police?"
"You should know this better than I! Do you think the police will believe what I say?!" she suddenly shouted at me. Then Mai waltz in.
"Tea" She said as she set the tea cups on my desk. I was about to tell her off but Tanaka-san instantly stood up (AN: he has photographic memory, right?)
"You could help me…" the redhead said and she grabbed Mai's hand and Mai fainted.
(hehehe … cliffhanger)
(pls. don't burn me, I still need to finish three more stories. : )
