~Lava's Lair~
New chapterrrrrr.
Blood Stained Ocean.
Blood.
Okay I'm being weird.
I'M GOING TO TRY AND WRITE THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER IN A DAY.
Let's see if I succeed or fail…
Because I've been having the urge to write more for some reason =w=;;
Here we go~
Where could she be?! Rika thought, running all around the ship. She was pretty sure she checked everywhere 5 times at least! Yet, there was no sign of Hanyuu. She could be hiding in a passenger's cabin… yet, the passenger would notice, of course…
"Rika…?" someone behind her said. Rika whipped around, expecting Hanyuu. It wasn't Hanyuu, it was Cody.
"Cody…? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be helping take care of Bailey…?" Rika asked.
"Well… I heard what happened to Zack… and Keiichi… Hanyuu's gone too far now! She's told Zack to hurt Bailey, she's injured multiple people, and she's even killed Keiichi and my own brother! She will pay…!" Cody angrily said.
Rika stood there and blinked. She was surprised by how much power and anger Cody had in his tone, and in his expression. "What… do you want to do to her…?" Rika asked. She knew they couldn't let Hanyuu do anymore of this horrible stuff, but Rika didn't want her to get hurt either…
"Kill her!" Cody exclaimed coldly.
Rika was shocked. "K-kill her?!" she repeated him.
"Yes!" Cody confirmed. "We can throw her overboard!"
"Cody…" Rika said in her mature voice. "You're letting your anger take you over… don't let that happen… if we kill Hanyuu things will just get worse…"
"How?!" Cody demanded.
"You'll go to jail if you kill her. Who will Bailey have? And more and more stuff will just go downhill from there." Rika said, hoping to calm him.
Cody looked down and sighed. "I supposed you're right… but still… we should find Hanyuu!"
Rika nodded. "I hope we can find her before more bad things happen, though…" she sighed.
Hanyuu decided to walk around on the Sky Deck during the daytime. As long as none of her 'friends' saw her, she'd be okay, right? Not that many people were out anyways, what with the murders and such. She had heard some people over talking about them finding Zack's body. She smirked on the inside. She also heard a teen boy was killed. She smirked inside again. Keiichi. Now Hanyuu only had to hope Shion wouldn't let her down, and annihilate Mion next.
Hanyuu couldn't help but smile a little on the outside. I'm not alone now… right? Right? Though, she didn't know how horrible Shion felt about doing it, and Shion decided to stop. Shion was scared now. Hanyuu didn't know, and thought she could still trust Shion. Hanyuu spotted her sitting in a chair on the Sky Deck. She walked over and sat next to her.
Shion glanced over at Hanyuu and tensed up. What's she doing out?! I thought she'd stay in hiding! Shion panicked on the inside, but on the outside she calmly asked, "Why're you out… you'll get caught…"
Hanyuu simply smiled. "They don't know I did anything. Only you and the others. But I can trust you, right Shion?"
Shion thought what she should say. Then she had a good idea. I'll pretend to be on her side… and I'll kill her when she's not looking… because she trusts me… perfect. Shion smiled, "Of course you can trust me, Hanyuu~."
"Good~" Hanyuu said. "So tonight… meet me here, on the Sky Deck. Before you execute Mion… I need to tell you something."
Shion nodded. "I'll be here."
Hanyuu smiled. "I'll be off then~." She got up and turned her head towards Shion. "Don't forget." She said somewhat coldly, and walked off, heading back towards her base.
As soon as Hanyuu was out of sight, Shion stood up. She should tell someone where Hanyuu's going to be tonight. For help. Shion looked around. She saw Rika and Cody just entering the Sky Deck, and they were searching around. Probably for Hanyuu.
Shion ran up to them. "Guys!" she exclaimed. "I need to tell you guys something… in a more private place…"
Rika blinked. "Alright, Shii~"
Shion led them over to an area where there were no people in sight. "Hanyuu just talked to me…"
"What'd she say?! Where'd she go?!" Cody asked anxiously.
"Calm down… I don't where she went… but um…" Shion glanced at Cody. He didn't know what she had done. "Cody… it's better if I only tell Rika this…"
Cody blinked. "Fine…" he mumbled and left.
"Okay, what is it Shii?" Rika asked.
"Hanyuu wants me to meet her on the Sky Deck tonight… maybe… you could come with me…? And maybe we can stop her…" Shion said.
"Hm…" Rika started. She thought about it. "Okay… but we can't, and I mean can't, kill her. Got it…?"
Shion nodded. Though I really want to. She lied to me, and made me do something terrible. She thought.
"Let's wait in my room, till it's time to go. We can plan there. And Mion must be an emotional mess in your room… I don't want to disturb her…" Rika said, looking down.
Shion looked down too, guilt filling every inch of her body. "L-Let's go now…" Shion said.
Rika and Shion walked to Rika's cabin, not saying anything to each other. When they got to Rika's cabin, Rika opened the door and walked in, followed by Shion. Satoko was over in Mion's cabin, helping Rena comfort her.
"So… what's the plan?" Rika asked, sitting on the bed as Shion sat in a chair across from her.
"Well… I was thinking you'll hide, and I'll let Hanyuu tell me whatever she wanted to tell me… for it could be useful, then I'll 'leave' but really I'll hide nearby. Then when Hanyuu's still there and I'm hiding, you can come out and surprise her… then… work your magic doing whatever you like, I guess." Shion said.
Rika smiled. "Sounds good."
They lounged around in Rika's room until night came.
"It's late, we should head out now." Shion said, and Rika nodded in agreement.
Together they headed towards the Sky Deck. As they neared it, Rika went and hid behind a wall, while Shion went over to where she had talked to Hanyuu earlier. Hanyuu was waiting there for her.
"Sorry I'm a little late…" Shion said, nervously.
"It's fine, just don't do it again." Hanyuu growled.
"I understand…" Shion said, avoiding any eye contact with Hanyuu. "So… what is it you wanted to tell me…?" she asked.
Hanyuu smiled. "I just wanted to say thank you. For your cooperation. You may go now."
Shion blinked. "Um… you're welcome…" Shion said, and headed back to where Rika was and hid there.
Rika walked out over to Hanyuu. "Hanyuu…?"
Hanyuu looked at Rika in shock, not expecting her. "R-rika…" Hanyuu stuttered, taking a step back.
"I'm very disappointed in you, Hanyuu. How could you do this?" Rika talked in her mature voice.
"Y-you don't know the pain I've been feeling, you don't know anything!" Hanyuu cried.
"Ah, I see. You never wanted to talk about it to me. That's okay; it's perfectly fine you wanted to ruin our perfect world. So now this world's off to a dead end too, thank you so much." Rika said sarcastically.
"Shut up! You wouldn't understand anyways!" Hanyuu hissed. Rika just rolled her eyes in response to Hanyuu. It made Hanyuu even angrier. "Fine then…" Hanyuu said. She took something out from behind her back. A butcher knife. "I'll just kill you too…"
Rika stared at Hanyuu, but she knew this was no time to be in shock, Hanyuu was moving towards her. Rika took a few steps back from Hanyuu, and bumped into a table behind her. Hanyuu was closing in. Rika froze in fear and shock. No, no! Snap out of it! Rika yelled at herself.
Hanyuu was dangerously close. Hanyuu looked down at Rika coldly. She raised the butcher knife above Rika. Rika stared at it in fear. Hanyuu started bringing the knife down, and at the last second, Rika ran off. Hanyuu stabbed the table, but quickly pulled it out and chased after Rika.
Rika! I have to help her! Shion thought. She took out the knife Hanyuu had given her and quietly but quickly followed.
Hanyuu had Rika cornered in a corner on the ship. Rika's only escape was to jump into shark infested waters, but she wasn't quite sure if she wanted to take that risk. Sure, the sharks would leave her alone if she played dead and didn't bother them. But she'd cause a commotion when she hit the water, attracting the sharks. And sharks use their mouth to satisfy their curiosity mostly…
Hanyuu was getting closer and closer. "Nighty night, Rika-chan…" Hanyuu said, getting even closer.
"RIKA!" Someone shouted. It was Shion. She ran in quickly and pushed Hanyuu down hard.
Hanyuu slid a little ways on the deck and groaned. The knife she was holding had gotten penetrated a little ways in her side. "Grr..." Hanyuu growled and pulled the knife out of her side. Blood seeped from the wound, yet Hanyuu got up, trying to ignore the pain.
Shion glared at Hanyuu. Hanyuu glared back and held onto her injured side. She took a few steps back and… there was a trap there. Hanyuu stepped in a circle of rope which instantly pulled her up and she was hanging upside down by the rope.
"Ohohoho!" Satoko's laughter echoed around them. Satoko emerged from the shadows. "I've caught you, Hanyuu-san!" Satoko smirked and walked over to Rika and Shion.
"Satoko!" Rika said, happily.
"I knew this trap would work!" Satoko smiled proudly.
"Huh? Satoko how'd you know Hanyuu would be out here…?" Shion asked.
"I overheard you and Rika talking about it… so I thought I might as well help~!" Satoko exclaimed with a smile.
"Well… I'm glad you did!" Shion exclaimed and smiled back.
Rika, Shion, and Satoko started chatting a little bit of what they should do with Hanyuu; however no one was really watching Hanyuu. While they weren't looking, Hanyuu took out her knife and using as much strength as she had, lifted upper self high enough to reach the rope. She grabbed onto the rope with one hand to stay in the position, and cut the rope with her other hand. By mistake she cut into her a leg a little, but whatever, she'd be fine. She fell to the ground with a loud bump. Shion, Rika, and Satoko all instantly turn their attention to her.
Hanyuu glared at them and started to run off, but Rika ran over and grabbed Hanyuu's hand, stopping her. Rika had a tight grip on Hanyuu, and Hanyuu was struggling to get free. Rika pulled Hanyuu towards her, causing Hanyuu to roughly bump into Rika. Rika got pushed into the boat's railing. Hanyuu noticed and decided to take action. Hanyuu quickly jumped off the boat, pulling Rika with her. Before Hanyuu fell though, she clung on to the railing of the boat, and Rika was still griping tightly to Hanyuu's other hand.
"Sometimes sacrifices have to be made…" Rika said to Hanyuu. Hanyuu just blinked. Rika then quickly punched Hanyuu repeatedly with her other hand. Rika didn't want to do this, but it was for the best. Even though she didn't want Hanyuu to get killed in the first place, this is how it would end up…
Rika kept punching Hanyuu harder and harder and Rika was moving around and struggling too, making it difficult for Hanyuu to hold on. After a while Hanyuu couldn't hold on any more and let go. Rika and Hanyuu fell into the ocean.
"RIKA!" Shion and Satoko yelled. They only saw blood rise from the water from Hanyuu's wounds. That wasn't good. The splash and the blood would definitely attract sharks!
Shion and Satoko scanned the water, until finally Rika poked her head up out of the water, taking a deep breath. Hanyuu popped up behind Rika, but Rika didn't notice.
"RIKA, LOOK OUT!" Satoko yelled as she watched Hanyuu sneaking up behind Rika.
Rika turned around and swam away from Hanyuu closer to the boat. But Hanyuu wasn't going to give up that easy. She was exhausted and injured, and sharks were probably all around. But Hanyuu wasn't going to let this go. She swam to Rika despite all of her pain, and shoved Rika underwater, and held her there. Rika held her breath the best she could.
"RIKA!" Shion yelled.
A minute passed. Rika held her breath, but couldn't for much longer. Rika grabbed Hanyuu's arm and pulled her under too, and Rika went to the surface gasping for breath. The water was cold and Rika started shivering and getting exhausted quickly. She didn't know how much longer she could stay afloat. Suddenly Hanyuu popped up and held Rika under again. Rika didn't have time to take a breath before going under, so she couldn't stay under for long. Rika could see shadowy figures a distance below them. She noticed Hanyuu's wound was leaking a lot of blood. Those must be sharks.
Rika was just about to pull Hanyuu under again and resurface when all of a sudden a huge wave came from nowhere. It crashed into Hanyuu and Rika, and Rika only had a second to suck in more air. The wave washed against the side of the boat too, getting Shion and Satoko somewhat wet.
After a few seconds of what seemed like forever, it was over. Shion and Satoko frantically scanned the surface of the water, but they couldn't see Rika or Hanyuu.
Tears formed in Shion and Satoko's eyes. They had lost Rika. A few minutes past. Nothing. Satoko looked down, not being able to accept it. Rika had sacrificed herself to get rid of Hanyuu.
"C'mon… we should go…" Shion said, placing a hand on Satoko's shoulder.
"O-okay…" Satoko sniffled and took one last look at the ocean. She saw bubbles." "Nee-nee, wait!" She exclaimed, watching the water.
Rika, exhausted and shivering, poked her head out of the water once more. She gasped deeply for breath and shivered. She was barely staying afloat.
"Rika!" Shion gasped. She saw a life saver nearby and grabbed it. She threw it out to Rika and held onto the rope. Rika grabbed onto the life saver and relaxed.
"Help me pull her up!" Shion asked Satoko. Satoko nodded and together they pulled Rika back up onto the deck.
Rika coughed and curled up on the deck once she reached it. She was shaking like a Chihuahua and dearly wanted to rest, but she was so cold she couldn't.
"C'mon, let's get her back to your cabin…" Shion said, picking up Rika and walking back to the cabin.
Satoko glanced back at the ocean again. Hanyuu was nowhere. They had defeated her. Satoko sighed and followed Shion.
Somewhere below the waves, Hanyuu floated lifelessly. He wound still bleeding. Sharks around her, but not coming near her. Hanyuu didn't move or anything. One word echoed in her mind. Defeat. Defeat. Defeat… NO! Hanyuu screamed in her mind. She was cold, exhausted, injured, and running out of air. But she wasn't done yet. This wouldn't be her end. No, it will be her return. This isn't over. Hanyuu's eyes opened, glowing bright red.
