Kagura ran from the building. "Why wasI so stupid? How could I do that right then! Damn it all! ...Ah!" The athlete was stopped mid-rant when she ran into someone, landing on something very warm and soft. She looked up. "Sakaki.." Quickly getting up into a sitting position, she refused to meet Sakaki's eyes, she wouldnt show her tears..
"K-Kagura." the enigmatic girl blushed. "Are you ok?" Reaching out she layed a hand on her friend shoulder. "Fine. Dandy. Yomi's awake and Tomo hates me. Life's great." the brunette smiled bitterly and clenched her fists. "Oh... oh.. You told Tomo didnt you?" Sakaki whispered. I knew this would happen.. "I... How'd you know?" Kagura's head shot up. "It was pretty obvious."
"..I kissed her... She hit me Sakaki... She's disgusted. She hates me. She wants me dead!" The athlete finished with a cry of despair and bit her tongue. "Kagura..." , was all the tall girl managed to choke out. Damn it Tomo..
"Why? Why cant she love me? I've .. never felt this was before. I feel like my heart's been ripped in a thousand pieces." "I'm sure she didnt mean to be so harsh... She was suprised and scared.. Think about it Kagura." Sakaki replied, causing the brunette to sigh. "But I love her." "If you loved her, you'd let her be happy. She's happiest with Yomi." The raven haired girl tried to explain gently. There was a moment of silence and Kagura lowered her head in defeat. "Come on.. Wanna go to my place? I'll get a bike magazine on the way if you want." The superior athlete offered, causing Kagura to snort.
"Your too nice you know that?" Sakaki smiled, though it failed to reach her eyes, and replied that she just didnt like seeing Tomo upset. "Now.." She took Takinos hand in her own and helped her to her feet. If only you knew. Then they were off to the cat lovers house.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital...
The newly declared couple was now lying down on the small hospital bed, Tomo's arms wrapped around the recovering brunette. "You're a miracle Yomi.. A beautiful, amazing, miracle." Tomo sighed happily. "Not really.. Anything but actually.." Yomi began to protest but was cut off by her girlfriend. "Dont say that! You're amazing."
"I'm terrible. I went to try and save you and you ended up saving me. As for beautiful.. I think you snuck some of my drugs they gave me." Mizuhara chuckled. Tomo's face then suddenly took a very serious tone to it, which was rather intimidatig on the usually immature wildcat. "You're beautiful. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen... Do you understand? You're not fat, you never were Koyomi... I'm sorry I tease you, but please believe me when I say its just teasing. You're amazing and I love you." The brunette looked deeply into her girlfriends eyes. "Do you?" Yomi asked shakily.
"I do."
Just then there was a knock at the doors and two women in black suits stepped in, causing Tomo to sit up and tense slightly. One of them, a tall blonde, bowed and began speaking. "Hello. My name is Mireille Bouquet and this is my partner, Kirika Yuumura. We're here from the FBI. Miss Takino, could you please answer a few things for us? Miss Mizuhara too." She continued and flashed her badge. Tomo nodded cautiously.
"It's about the man that abducted you. We have him in custody..." Nodding towards her brunette partner, Mireille waited for confirmation. Kirika Yuumura held out a photo of the alleged suspect. It was a normal looking man in his late 30's. Shuddering Tomo nodded stiffly and held on to Yomi's hand.
"Ok. Since Miss Mizuhara has finally woken up, a trial had been planned to start ina coupledays and we're looking for details." Detective Bouquet said, motioning for her partner to take out a small notepad. "Details?" Asked Yomi curiously. "To make sure we have the times right and to figue outthe proper punishment." "If you dont have a lawyer... You will be given one by law.." Detective Yuumura finally spoke up softly but firmly.
Tomo kept her hands clutched with Yomi's an she looked down, a moment of suspension followed. "Sure I guess... Just as long as the bastard gets what he deserves.. Does Japan still have the death penalty?" Mireille sighed and nodded "Now could you please describe specifically what happened the night you were kidnapped?"
Another long pause followed before Tomo began talking. When she did, her grip on Yomi loosened as if she were reliving the memory. Her brown eyes fogged over some what and she started.
"I had just left Koyomi's house, I think if was around 10-ish. We had had a fight and.. well, I had stormed out in my bra. Half way down the street I put on my shirt and kept walking.. Everything was a blur... but I thinkI passed a fountain when I noticed someone behind me. Before I knew if, the guy had me in some weird grip and shoved a rag in my face. I... passed out. Suprising, huh?"
Unconcoiusly squeezing her lovers hand tighter, she continued.
"When I woke up I was so tired.. I tried to move but I was tied up to some cross thing. It was dark.. and cold. After.. I dont know how long, the guy came back in, the guy from the picture you showed me.. He turned on a big light and kept circling me muttering to himself... 'What a fine treat this one is.. What a fine...'"
The brunette trailed off, tears begining to form. The room was silent for a while, Yomi holding the trembling girl. "We know this must be hard for you Miss Takino.. But please try to continue." Detective Yuumura said gently. The wildcat gulped then shakily nodded to the two FBI agents.
"He.. took out some kind of a kit with all these tools in it.. Knives, and hammers, and gloves, and tape, and rope, scissors, and.. some huge fucking thing that looked like a mace.. ...He .. He fucking cutup my shirt and kept looking at me like some piece of raw meat. 'Fine treat.. Oh what a cute little pet this one is..' .. Sick fuck..."
"I'm.. I'm lucky Yomi came when she did.. He was taking so much time just talking to me.. Or rather at me.. All he did that night was tie me up and beat me down.. But I saw the look in his eyes. ... I know what he was going to do. I'm glad he took so long though... 'Cause if he didnt.. Yomi wouldnt have made it in time. After she came, and he knew she did.. I dont know if you guys found it, but he has a couple cameras outside.. I saw the TVs.. She came in andI tried to warn her but .. I was gagged.. she didnt hear me in time. He.. shot her."
Pausing, the brunette looked at Yomi, then to the clock, to Detective Yuumura, then back to her lap.
"I dont really remeber what happened after that.. I.. Something inside me just.. snapped, you know? I remember breaking off the cross thing I was tied up to... Running towards him.."
Takino seemed to struggle recalling the next events.
"I... dont know.. I just blacked out.. The next thing I know, Kagura's pulling me off of him.. There was blood on him and my hands and he looked terrified so.. I guess I attacked him." Chuckling weakly, Tomo broughther story to a closing. "An amublance came for Yomi and when I looked back for him.. He was gone. Thats all I can remember.."
"The two detectives nodded to each other "Is this Kagura a friend or yours?" The brunette agent asked. Yomi nodded in response. "I'll get you her number if that'd help." Offered up Tomo. "Thank you.. We'll keep in touch and mail you the information about the trial. I'm.. We're very sorry for what you two had to go through. But.. rest assured, we willget your justice." Mireille said bowing, then turned to leave. Kirika Yuumura bowed lightly and followed her out.
"Well... This should be interesting..." Tomo muttered and fell into Koyomi's embrace with a small huff.
A/N: End for now. Sorry this was so short guys, and not as cliffhangery as usual.. but I decided to split up this chapter into 2 chapters so I could update quicker. Also, I dont watch Court TV that much, so the trial might not be very accurate.. But none the less, I'll try to get it up as soon as possible. heheh... ASAP. I hope you guys liked this chapter.. I realize I got a little off track in chapter 3 so now I'm trying to get back on the ball so to say. Wish me luck.
