High school of the Dead: Congratulations! You guys are now officially parents!
Author's Note: Shido finally goes too far and Takashi snaps. The massive sword Wolf is using at the moment is the Buster Sword.
Chapter 4: Don't Mess with Someone's Loved Ones.
Rei's P.O.V.:
Takagi Estate: 1:45PM
We watched Elizabeth and Alice play with Zeke as we sat on the bench with Takashi. Yuriko had joined us, but sat on the opposite side of the bench. She smiled at me while I happily watched Elizabeth and Alice play before breaking the silence.
"I know that smile." She said getting my attention. "It's the same one I had on my face during Saya's birth, her first day of Kindergarten and whenever I had the chance to spend time with her. Watching your children, even if they are adopted, grow up and have fun are the greatest experiences and memories a parent can have."
"Really?" I said blushing. "I thought being a parent would be tough work."
"Oh believe me, it is." She replied happily. "But you'll love every minute of it. Soichiro and I never regretted having Saya. She was the greatest thing to happen to me along with marrying Soichiro. Without them, I don't think would have many great memories and accomplishments in my entire life. Just do me one favor."
"Anything m'am." I said
"Just love that girl with all your heart and treat her as if she was actually very your own flesh and blood." She said with a smile on her face. We heard Zeke barking and the kids laughing approaching us. I turned as Elizabeth ran into my arms and I picked her up and sat her on my lap as she hugged me with a huge smile on her face.
"Mommy!" Elizabeth yelled happily hugged me. "Zeke and Alice-Chan are the greatest friends in the world! Zeke is so awesome! He can do tricks like roll over and play dead." Zeke barked in approval.
"It makes Mommy and Daddy happy that you are getting along with everyone so well." I said with a smile on my face. "You are the best thing to ever happen to Mommy and Daddy Sweetie and we love you so very much." I smiled as I ruffled her hair.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Came the voice of the blonde from earlier as he leapt down from the tree branch. "My apologies for not introducing myself earlier today Miss Miyamoto. I am Wolf Strife. I'm your father's commanding officer and 5-Star General 1st-Class elite in the ANGELS Corps, SOLDIER Program, and 13th chair and 2nd-In-Command of Organization XIII. You may call me Wolf if you please. I'm not one for formalities though." I look at him with a quiet and curious look on my face. "I take it there is some things you want answered I suppose."
"You said you were my father's commanding officer right?" I asked as he nodded in compliance. "Then why did you assign him that damn investigation? Do you know how much pain my family has gone through? Do you have even the slightest idea how devastating it was for my father to cry on his knees, begging me for his forgiveness? I growled at the man who gave my dad that stupid investigation that ended up humiliating my father.
"I know how it feels Rei." He answered in a solemn voice, his bangs shadowing his face. "That cowardly bastard threatened to have my family executed or wanted all over Japan shortly after He blackmailed your father and humiliated him in public. I swore on my grave that man would pay."
"You better keep that promise Mr. Strife." I said with fierce look on my face. I felt Elizabeth tugging at my sleeve. I look at her with a small tired smile on my face.
"Mommy?" She asked concerned. "What's wrong?" she had a worried expression on her face.
"Nothing sweetie." I answered. "Mommy is just a bit frustrated. It's nothing for you to be worried about."
"Ok." She smiled. "Just don't blame Mr. Woof. He hasn't done anything wrong. Besides, I think he's cute and funny looking." A few minutes of silence, Mrs. Takagi started laughing lightly.
"Mr. Woof" She said chuckling. "Didn't your parents used to call you by that little nickname when you were just a kid?"
"Don't remind me." Wolf said sulking a little bit. "I also came here to tell you that it's time to discuss further plans Lady Takagi." He said in a formal manner.
"Very Well." Yuriko said before taking her leave with him escorting her.
"Alice-Chan is going to go see Kohta-Chan and Saya-Chan!" The little girl said happily before racing off.
A few minutes later, unwanted company came along.
"Well well well… Look what we have here Tsunoda." Came the shrill cocky voice of Yuuki Miku, who was clinging onto Tsunoda like a complete whore. Definitely the work of Shido's brainwashing. "The bitch, the bastard, and their bastard child of a bitch." She said chuckling darkly. I felt Takashi let go and stand up. I noticed his fists were clenched.
"You should look at yourself in the mirror." Takashi said. "You dress like a slut who's been diagnosed with every STD out there. Is that a side effect of Shido's corruption?"
"How dare you talk to Yuuki that way, you bastard!" Tsunoda yelled, pissed off as ever. "If it wasn't for that bitch you're fucking over there, I'd would have beat the living shit out of you back on the bus. I'm sort of glad you two didn't get turned into one of them. It will give me the pleasure of doing what I should have done back on the bus. I thinking of snapping that little girl's neck." Yuuki had let go of him immediately as soon as he started rushed forward past Takashi with his arms stretched out as if he wanted to strangle my child. I hugged Elizabeth protectively ready to defend her at any cost. But Tsunoda wasn't able to get an inch closer as Wolf, who had appeared out of nowhere, knocking him to the ground that is. Wolf then reached for the massive sword that was hanging to his back and then held it at Tsunoda's neck.
"To think I turn my back for a few minutes and this happens." He said as Saeko came towards the group accompanied by the rest of my group. "You and the rest of your leader Shido's cult are very close over staying your welcome and wearing my patience extremely and dangerously thin here. Normally I wouldn't dare commit any kind act of violence in front of a kid or children, but I'd be willing to cut off your family jewels with this sword here just this once." He finished his statement without a single hint of him bluffing. I heard the sound of clapping from behind me. I turn and back away next to Takashi as Shido approaches the group followed by the rest of his cult obsessed followers. Tsunoda manages to get away from Wolf and retreats behind Shido along with Yuuki.
"I knew things would escalate to this." Shido said as grinned that creepy grin of his. "I guess I have to be the one to take charge of our group once again."
"In your dreams Shido." I snarled. "All you want to do is to corrupt the innocent minds into believing into your filthy cult using nothing but lies. And besides, I think most of us were never part of your group to begin with so fuck off." I was glad Elizabeth was trying to shut out the noise by burring her face into my chest. I would never allow Shido to come near her. I'd never forgive myself if I let that happen.
"That's why I've come to a conclusion." Shido said smiling evilly at Elizabeth, Takashi, and I. "If you meet me out at the front door of the estate, I'll willing let you know what it is Miss Miyamoto." He said before he turned away. "Your filthy daughter's life depends on it." He finished before walking in the direction of the garage.
15minutes later: Takagi Family Estates
"Shido." I said loudly. "I'm here, so what do you want." I growled the last word. That's when I felt a sharp cold metal object pierce my right shoulder. "Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed in pain as the blade of object is roughly pulled out of my back. I then felt the sick bastards hand roughly smack me across the face, knocking me down. I cough up blood. I give Shido my strongest glare. He smiled sadistically as he flaunted the knife by waving it slightly in his hand.
"I told you I had a solution and this is it Miss Miyamoto." Shido chuckled darkly. "I will eliminate any obstacle in my way of becoming the ruler of this new world and I'll start it off by eliminating you. You really have been a pain in my side for too long. It's such a shame though; you really have such a gorgeous body. It's too bad that that Takashi had already defiled it. But at least I can use your daughter bear my children." He then raised his hand with the knife above his head. I closed my eyes as he came in for the finishing blow.
"Sorry… Takashi… Elizabeth." I whispered as tears began falling from my shut eyes as I awaited the final blow, but it never came. I open my eyes and they went wide as I saw Takashi catch the knife by the blade, snap the blade off with his hand, and punch Shido square in the jaw. I saw pure rage and hatred in Takashi's eyes. He then spins towards Shido and Kicks him in the face to prevent him from getting back up before he came down and kneed the bastard in the stomach, pinning him in place. Takashi then proceeded to give Shido the beating of his life as he followed with a barrage of punches to the face. Shido was too shocked to even respond as Takashi continued to lay upon a brutal force of punches on his face. I cough up blood. It got Takashi's attention as everyone else and a woman who I've haven't seen before along with Mr. and Mrs. Takagi. I noticed that Kohta and Saeko had pulled Takashi off of Shido and am now are restraining him from killing Shido and Wolf had his massive sword to Shido's neck. I black out due to the pain.
To be continued…
