Acid Rain

By SMYGO4EVA

She kept seeing the blood spill from war's clutches; she kept seeing his ruddy face freeze in shock mixed with horror as she shot him. With four bullets piercing his chest, penetrating his heart, killing him instantly. She murdered her own father. Her flesh and blood and she killed him. And all because it was for love.

Haruka hated her father, to tell you the truth. He was brainwashed by religion, hence the disapproval of her relationship with Michiru. He detested individuals who chose the lifestyle, and he also killed people. It was for a living, for as he was a member of the Yakuza, a band of cold-blooded murderers who sinned and bathed in a victim's ruby liquid. It was his punishment, nonetheless, since he killed so many people, and the guilt probably bit at him like corrosive acid. So, she put him out of his misery.

It seemed fruitless; however, that he never loved anyone but his own wife and his only daughter, but his 'career' was more important to him. To rob people of their own lives and seeing their slain corpses in the end; it sounded like her. She admitted that she was alike with her father, but the guilt, she would never share. The guilt ravaged him, so she silenced him. She would never share the acid rain that destroyed her soul little by little.
