Okay, since it has been asked for, I am going to kill Mayu's step dad. And guess what, you get it in this chapter. Oh, and I'm going to start giving almost all of my chapters theme songs. I might repeat themes at times, as well. But I just feel like it. This Chapter's Theme is "Speak" by Godsmack. I may not give perfect themes, but I will usually get close to the overall theme. As usual, you can find the video for Speak on youtube. Type "Elfen Lied Speak Godsmack"

Chapter 4: A Little Side Mission

Hachi sighed, walking through the town. He knew it was close. Ahh, how revenge was so sweet. Yes, the girl was the only person he'd cared about on the outside world. She had been since that day on the mission. She'd been the only human outside the facility that he'd had a conversation with. The only thing he knew about the outside world he had read in books. But he had been on a mission then, he couldn't have abandoned his duties... not then... He'd seen her several times on his trips to the town on missions, and had grown close. They were each others' only comfort in dark times.

He sighed. What he was doing now was a little side business he had to take care of. At least, now it was. He'd seen what the man had done. Mayu had been the only close friend on the outside world he'd ever had. This act of defiling was... unforgivable...

He arrived, finally, at the place he sought. The place was a complete dump. The once growing trees were now dead husks of former life. He knocked, and Mayu's Mother and Step-father answered. He smiled. "Are you the former parents of a girl named Mayu?" Hachi asked, already knowing the answer. They nodded. "What the fucking hell do you want?" her mother said angrily, "we'd rather not speak of the girl."

Hachi chuckled. "Oh, no, I don't think there's any speaking to be done. Especially not since that man raped her," he said, being rather blunt. The man looked at him. "She told you didn't she?" he growled, and then muttered, "I'm going to kill that stupid brat..." Hachi smiled, and then, in a flash, his fist was wrenched into the man's gut

"What the!" shouted the woman, but not overly loud. She didn't want to alert the neighbors. She attempted a dash for the phone, but Hachi tripped her with a vector, knocking her to the ground face first.

With Hachi's attention diverted to the woman, the man had gotten up, and managed to get hold of a shotgun. He fired. Hachi expertly wielded his six vectors, stopping every part of the spread. He laughed maniacally as his eyes filled with bloodlust, and the man stood in horror. "What are you?" he said urgently. Hachi chuckled louder. "I'm not important. I've simply come to avenge a little girl whose dreams of purity were broken," he said, whirling around, and slicing off both of the woman's legs. She had been attempted to sneak up on him with a knife

In a flash, he had also cut of both of her arms. His actions were becoming more demonic with each passing moment of anger. He was becoming so rash, in fact, that his hat fell clean off his head, revealing his wolf ears and horns. "You... they'll find you..." whispered the woman. Hachi chuckled, positioning a vector at her crotch. "Let's see, your husband caused a girl extreme pain right around there didn't he?" he asked, slowing sliding one finger of the vector into her vagina. She moaned gently, but her moan became a cry of pain as he tore from her vagina outwards to her thigh, leaving a large, deep tear in the skin. Hachi began to feel that familiar feeling. If he didn't wrap this up, he'd start lusting for more. He had to end this now.

The man watched in horror. Hachi began laughing harder as the veins began to stand out on his skin. "Now that you're out of commission, I think it's time to torture your husband," he said, turning, and slicing the barrel of the shotgun off. He unsheathed a blade in his hand, and smiled, holding the man down with his vectors. "Now it's time for you to feel a bit of pain," he said, "but it won't be the same if you don't have a vagina, will it... oh well, we'll have to fix that." He stressed fix as he shoved the blade hard into the man's crotch, slicing a deep hole, but only going about halfway through him.

Hachi unsheathed another blade with his free hand, and smiled. "Now that's better," he said, stabbing another blade into the man's gut. He began to twist them and turn them. "How does it feel, to be violated?" growled Hachi. He began shoving the blades deeper, and, eventually, he got carried away, and both blades pierced out of separate areas of his body.

At this, Hachi stood up, quickly slicing off the man's legs and arms. He turned back to the wife, and walked over. He smiled, inspecting the wound in the nether regions he had inflicted upon her. "You... I hate you less..." said Hachi, positioning a vector at her neck. "Repent upon your trip to heaven, for the only things you're guilty of are being a bad mother and a stupid bitch. Learn from your mistakes, and perhaps God shall forgive," said Hachi. He decapitated her quickly, saving her any spare pain.

"Now, for you..." mumbled Hachi, as he glared back at the man. He tore the blades from the man, and slowly began to skin his arm. Soon enough, there was no skin left. "You... I give you no chance to repent. Enjoy an eternity in hell," he said maliciously, slowly tearing the man's head from his body to ensure extra pain.

His duty completed, Hachi took the time to wash out all the blood before he started his journey back to the Inn. As he washed, his skin became a normal color again, and all signs of his demonic aggression were gone. Once he washed up, he started home; knowing that, being in no records, there was no way he could get caught. In fact, there were only the dead corpses. No one would ever know except for those at the Inn. He glanced back at the house as he walked away. "For Mayu…" he whispered
