Chapter 5. Kiyohime: The Berserker


Natsuki opened her eye but only saw darkness. She felt pain coming from both of her wrist. She tried to wiggle them and she only heard chains. She moved her head up and it was confirmed. Her wrist were chaianed through the sealing and both her feet were chained to the floor in an unfamiliar place that looked like an abandoned warehouse. The sound of her chains echoed upon the room as she tried to resist. 'What the hell happened?'.

FLASHBACK

"Fujino's in danger."

Nao walked towards Natsuki and Shizuru with a very serious expression on her face. She pulled the chair from the study desk and placed it in front of the lovers. "As I said. Fujino, you're in danger."

"Cut the chase. Spill it Nao."

"Patience Kuga!" Nao took a cigarette and lit it up. "Mind if I smoke?"

"You're already are... stupid!"

"Careful there! I'm the one who got the info."

"Ara.. Natsuki, Yuuki-san... would you save that for later?" Shizuru interrupted before the two could start a war.

"Fujino, the attack on you last night... do you have any idea why?"

"No... but one thing was clear. They needed me alive."

"When the police arrived at the scene, they found five bodies... of which only one was still breathing. The last thing he said was the word 'Fujino' before he passed out. The investigation officer ran the plates of the cars that confirmed that they were registered to your Father's company. One of the car have a really bad dent that indicated impact. That's when they figure out that it was not just an ambush but a kidnapping, but who? Which Fujino? So they went directly to the Fujino Mansion." Nao paused a bit. She didn't know how to bring up the bad news.

"And then?" Natsuki impatiently asked.

"When they got there, the place was a complete mess. It was a blood bath. Maids, butlers, guards... all dead. Even the famous 'Akuma' was found bathing in his own blood. Some men were registered under the Fujino employees but some are not. The guards definitely fought back."

"My father? What happened to him?" Shizuru asked with concerns in her face.

"He was no where to be found. The police had deduced that he been taken."

"Oh no..." Tears started falling upon Shizuru's face while Natsuki tried to comfort her. "But how does Yuuki-san knew those stuff? Are you a police officer now?"

"Gahhh... don't associate me with them." Nao replied. "Anyway... Do you know what that means?"

"They were being targeted." Natsuki was the one who answered.

"Nice Kuga! I thought your brain got completely overrun by muscles." The red said remarks while giving Natsuki a pat, which was more likely a 'slap', in the head.

"Shut it!" Natsuki retaliate by hitting Nao with a pillow covering the wild grin in her face.

"Anyway... as I have said." Nao was back on serious mode. "Fujino you are in danger."

"Thanks for stating the obvious!" Natsuki butt in.

"And she will be found as long as she was with you."

"Shit!" Natsuki widened her as she realized something.

"Ara... Natsuki, you're scaring me... please I need explanation."

The raven haired girl suddenly stood up and started phasing. "I need to go... far... from here... far from you... Nao, take her to somewhere safe... and Mai... I need her out of here too."

"Relax Kuga! I already sent Mai away. It's just us. Do not panic! I'll take care of your princess here." Nao said while pointing at Sizuru.

"Can anybody explain?"

"Kuga fought Vega last night. He knew she got you and it'll just a matter to time before they found her."

"Found her?"

"Yeah..." Natsuki pointed at her brain. "They planted GPS tracker on my brain, it was their way to track their fighters." Natsuki knew that it wasn't just a tracker, but a kill chip. The chip was also a way to control the fighters, if they disobey an order or needs punishing the chip can cause serious headache and when set at maximum level, can cause death. Natsuki held that information because she doesn't want to worry Shizuru more.

"They?" Shizuru asked in confusion.

"Vega... he used to be the underground champion before I de-throned him. He has connections and I know he'll find my handler who got the tracking device." She was at least relieve that their handlers only got the device to track them. Only their so called 'owner' had the master device that can cause the headache or death. "We need to move now..." Natsuki started to throw decent clothes to Shizuru for the blonde was only wearing a long button-up shirt and undies but it was too late...

CRASHHHH

The sounds of crashing of window was heard and smoke started to fill up the room.

"Shit!" Natsuki tried to fought back but images of men in mask was the last thing she saw.

END OF FLASHBACK


"What do you want with me? What is this place? I got money! How much do you want?" Ichiro Fujino said. His eyes were shut by a black piece of fabric and his hands were tied to his back. He was being guided by two armed men. He was shoved in front of a man fell on his knees.

"You have never changed Ichiro... still using your money." The man said.

Ichiro froze upon hearing the familiar voice. "Haru? Is that you?"

"Glad you still know my voice."

"Why are you doing this? What do you want?"

"Don't play dumb! You always knew what I want!" Haru then kicked Inchiro to the face. "Pick him up. It's time."


"Nao? Shizuru? Are you here? Answer me?" Natsuki started shouting. She was not worried upon herself but for her friends. "Nao?" Nao wasn't the exact definition of friend. They don't get along well but they help each other. "Shizuru?" They just got back together and she won't let them take her away from her.

"Shut it Kuga! You're so loud!" Nao said in a low voice. She must have just woken up. "Dammit."

"Where are you?"

"Don't know... but as far as I know, my feet's on the air."

"What?"

"Dammit Kuga! Do I really need to explain everything?"

"Just spill it!"

"I was bound up high. Hands tied on my back. Ropes are all over me." Nao tried to free herself but unable to. "Fujino?"

"I don't know yet!" Natsuki tried to pull the chains but she wasn't strong enough. "Shizuruuuuu?" She shouted. Rage started to kick in a she pull the chains. She was about to shout again when

"Natsuki?"

"Shizuru! Great! Where are you?"

"I... I'm also bound... But my feet are touching the ground."

"Can you escape?"

"I can't... Ropes too tight."

The door suddenly opened and the captured ladies heard men walking. The lights were also turned on so the room was illuminated by dim incandescent light. The man being held was pushed towards Shizuru. "Father!" She yelled.

"Shizuru? Is that you? Where are you?" Ichiro tried to move stand up and find Shizuru but was only pushed down by the men.

"Father!" Shizuru screamed.

Natsuki observed her surroundings, she was the only one bound in chains. Nao and Shizuru's were just plain ropes... but a thick one. Nao was suspended in the air like her but her feet weren't tied. Her hand were bound to her back and ropes were circling her upper and lower torso. Shizuru on the other hand wasn't suspended, she was only bound to by her wrist which was also tied to the sealing. "What do you want?"

"Hmmm... " Haru walked toward Natsuki. "I really don't have anything to do with you... so just stay still and enjoy the show." He replied with a grin on his face. He then walked to Nao and stared at her. "I hope you're comfortable up there lady." He winked then moved towards Shizuru.

"How are you my dear? It's been a long time. You really grew up exactly like your mother." Haru caressed the tawny locks of Shizuru as well as her cheeks. "Do you remember me?" Shizuru struggled to distance herself from the touch.

"Get away from her Haru!"

"Haru?" Crimson orbs widen at the revelation. "Uncle? I thought you were dead?"

"HA! HA! HA! I also though too! But you see.. Hades doesn't want me there... so I'm here!"

"What do you want Haru! Please I'll give it to you just don't harm her." Ichiro begged. "If you want money -"

"I don't need your money!"

"Then the company... I'll give it to you!"

"I don't give a damn on that shit!"

"Then what do you want?" Ichiro now also raised his voice.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!" Haru yelled and kicked Ichiro in the gut. He took off the fabric that shut his brothers eye so he can look him in the eye while holding him by his hair. "You know what I want."

"You... you know that's impossible..."

"It's not... " Haru shoved Ichiro down. "Coz I'm looking at her..."

Haru's word shocked both Shizuru and Ichiro. He was aware what his brother really wanted. "Shizume... "

"Yes... Shizume... " Haru closed his distance with his brother. "The only woman I loved." He kick his brother again in the stomach. "The woman that you stole from me." He gave him another kick. "I saw her first." And another kick. "You betrayed me!" And he repeatedly kick him mercilessly upon the floor until Ichiro cough blood. Shizuru begged her uncle to stop but her efforts were fruitless as he can't seem to hear anything due to his rage.

"Please... Shizume's dead... Haru." Ichiro manage to utter in a low voice.

"Oh no she's not... she's right in front of me." Haru said while staring at Shizuru.

"Please Haru! She's your niece!" Ichiro begged... tears of pain and concern fell from his eyes.

"No she's not! She's Shizume! just look at her! Tawny curly hair, perfectly shaped jawline, and her eyes! Crimson orbs! The very same eyes that captivated me." He kicked him in the face that caused him to faint and walked towards Shizuru and started to caress her body.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" Natsuki yelled, her facing was showing clear sign of rage. Her grip on the chains were making her fist white and the bolts in the sealing was starting to move.

"Shut up! What can you do? Huh? Don't worry! You'll get your turn!" Haru then proceed to smell Shizru and lick her long slender neck while submitting her by pulling her tawny locks. However, Shizuru was a fighter and she won't allow anyone to touch her but Natsuki so she gave her uncle a nice piece of a kick in the groin.

Haru fell on his knees and flinch in pain. "You bitch!" He stood up and slapped her in the face. "Hold her!" Two men grabbed Shizuru legs. He composed himself, dusted his tux and stood in front of Shizuru. He just stood there not doing or saying for a moment. His perverted eyes showed that he was simulating in his dirty brain the stuff that he'll do to the crimson eyed beauty and the evidence of his perverted thoughts was the thing bulging between his legs in which he was unconsciously petting.

He slowly walked towards the restrained crimson beauty and again began caressing her cheeks and neck. Everyone was surprised when he suddenly ripped her button-up shirt revealing Shizuru's twin peak and red laze panties. The assault on Shizuru made Natsuki lost it. The shine in her emerald orbs were replaced by darkness. The biker lost it clearly showed she was enraged.

"Don't.. " The bolt the that was holding Natsuki's chain was dangerously becoming loose. Evil black aura can clearly be felt coming from her.

Haru continue her assault on Shizuru. Caressing every curve, every inches on her body. The tawny haired girl struggled with all her strength but it was futile for she was being held by two other guys.

"Touch... " Natsuki whispered as she still uses her rage to free herself from her bounds.

The perverted guy lowered his perverted arms to Shizuru's legs... viciously and slowly raising it near her nicely shaped ass. And just when he was about to cross the line, the bolts that were holding Natsuki finally gave in.

"HERRRRRR!" Natsuki screamed. Her hands freed from being bound but her was not. She bend down and pulled the chain that was tied in her right feet and then her left feet. The sound of chains being dragged echoed on the old warehouse as she walked closer to where Shizuru is.

"Shit! She lost it!" Nao cursed. She knew that Natsuki had reached her limits and at this state there will be no enemies of friends. She will attack anyone in her path.

"Get her!" Haru ordered. His men although fearing for their lives obeyed and lunges towards Natsuki who used the chains in her arms as a weapon. Both men knocked down upon being hit by the chains. Haru, also fearing for his life started to run but stumbles upon the floor. In a swift swirl of her hands, the chain circled Natsuki's wrist and formed a chain knuckles.

However, the bad guy still have something on his sleeves as three fighters suddenly burst in the room upon hearing the commotion. "Vega! Sagat! Balrog! Get her! Who ever kill her will be paid triple! Hell, quadruple!" Upon seeing the situation, Vega doesn't need to be ordered or bribed. He still have scores to settle. He hated the underground champ to the bone. First, it was her to denied him of being the first underground champion for three consecutive years and Second was the humiliation she gave her last night. It was payback time. Already wearing his claw, he lunges forward and gave the champion a straight thrust which was easily dodge by Natsuki. Not only Vega's action were slower due to his injuries, but his anger also made him reckless. Natuki dodged the attack by side stepping to Vega's right side. She then held the arms and gave the man in the claw a one... two... three... consecutive knee in the ribs. The counter didn't stopped there, while still holding his arms, she moved around and gave him several punches to the face and completed her attack while kicking him in the face that sent the poor man flying towards his associates. He was lucky that Balrog caught him of out mercy.

It was Sagat who made the second attack. Running towards the champion and making several kicks. Natsuki was able to dodge the kick. Sagat was still fresh and free from any injury. He was still at hundred percent but it was not enough for no one can escape the berserk mode of the champion. The kick boxers swings were good, accurate and fast but not enough. He executed a spinning kick that was evaded and countered by Natsuki by tripping him. He lost his footing fell to the floor. He was not given any time to react as Natsuki hopped towards him and repeatedly punch him in the face.

A loud thud was heard when Balrog dropped Vega. He slowly walked towards the direction of Natsuki and Sagat, taking his time for a sneak attack. Being the seemed to be last man, he has a chance in the said price. He sneaked to the side and gave the champ a right hook which only connected to the air as Natsuki leaped to his back. When he turned around, he was greeted by a heel kick in the face. Her mind was completely blank for her brain had shut down as instinct continued to drive her, Natsuki continued her assault on the fallen Balrog.

"Natsuki!" The berserker stopped upon hearing the most beautiful kyoto voice. However, her mind was still shut. "Natsuki..." However, Shizuru's intervention appeared to be a bad idea as window of opportunities were given to the three fallen fighters. They slowly stood up and surrounded Natsuki in a delta formation.

The trio took their time to regain their strengths and composed themselves. Then, they attacked in unison.

"HAAAAAAAAAAA" An energy ball was seems to be gathering in the palm on an unknown man.

Vega, Sagat, Balrog simultaneously attacked Natsuki using their own methods and technique. Vega used his claws, Kicks for Sagat and Punches for Balrog. When one of their attacks connected, the other one received the counter. It's three against one but Natsuki still manage to fight back. But is won't take long for the champion was finally reaching her limits.

"DOUUUUUUUU" The energy ball from before was getting bigger.

Finally, the three manage to subdue the berserker. Natsuki was now on her knees, Balrog was on her back pinning her in the head while Vega and Sagat held her by her arms. Haru smirked when he saw the outcome. He might be paying all three quadruple their price but her was glad the threat was neutralized. He walked towards them and threw a punch towards Natsuki who contracted her face muscle to lessen the impact. With every action comes with equivalent reaction so Haru's punch caused his knuckles to swell as his strength was not enough. He flinched in the pain.

Knowing the fact that punches won't work, he drew a gun an pointed it at Natsuki. "NOOOOOOO!" Shizuru shouted. "Pleassssseeeeee nooooooooo" she begged. Haru didn't listened and clacked the pistol. He was about the pull the trigger when a loud explosion occurred.

"KENNNNNNNN!" The energy ball was sent towards the wall that caused a massive explosion that tore the wall. Haru, Vega, Sagat, Balrog as well as Natsuki was sent flying towards the other side of the room. Nao and Shizuru can only close her eyes as debris was also fying towards them.

From the smokes two shadows emerged. "We're not late from the party, aren't we?!"

It was Sagat who recovered first, landing on top of Balrog. He looked at the direction of the broken wall and saw two familiar figure. "Shit! Ryu! Ken!" The two other fighters started to stand and analyze the situation. "Darn." Vega said as he was checking his face.

"Hey there missy! Enjoying the view?" Ken asked as he looked at Nao. "Name's Ken and that's Ryu!" He added as he pointed his thumb in the other guy's direction.

"Yeah! Great show!" Nao responded. "Mind freeing me?" She added and gave Ken a flirtatious wink.

"Only if you go out with me."

"Deal!"

"Great! Hold on!"

"Make sure to catch me!"

Natsuki also recovered from the impact but her condition was still the same. She was still in berserk mode. No more precious time was given to the trio when she started attacking them again. The unlucky Vega was given a triple punch combo in the face. Sagat was elbowed to his mid section and Balrog was assaulted with a series of kicks.

"Shit!" Nao shorted fully aware that her friend was threat not only for the enemy but also to them. "Ryu!" she shouted. "Help Fujino! She's the only one who can stop her."

Ryu hurriedly ran towards Shizuru. He was about to untie her when he stopped and looked away. His face was painted in pink. "Sorry." He apologized as he scratched his nose.

"Ara... it's okay Ryu-san." Shiruzu said comforting the blushing guy. "If you may? Please?"

Ryu reached for the ropes and untied the barely naked beauty with ease. Freed from her restrained, she ran towards Natsuki at top speed, not minding her bouncy naked front. "Natsuki!" She yelled again. Hoping that her voice will reach her lover. "Natsuki!" She repeated when she didn't received any response. "Natsuki!" She yelled louder, this time getting the reaction she needed as Natsuki stopped her attacks. But Shizuru's interruption was proved to be a very bad idea as Sagat was able to land a nice solid kick in her face. "Natsuki!" Shizuru slide to her lover's side.

Ken, Ryu and the newly freed Nao ran towards Natsuki and Shizuru. However, Natsuki was still not in her proper mind and started to push Shizuru away. Balrog, Sagat and Vega were also moving closer to the lovers.

The biker stood up, ready to fight again but was held back by Shizuru. She hugged the raven-haired maiden from the back, her chin was place on the biker's shoulder. "Please stop, Natsuki." She whispered. "That's enough." Shizuru's words imbued through Natsuki's heart as the glow in her emerald orbs were beginning to return.

Ken and Ryu lunges forward to intercept the three antagonist. The trio surrounded the duo in a delta formation while the duo was back to back with each other. "Wow! Nat-chan surely gave you guys a beating!" Ken ridiculed the badly beaten but still fighting combatant. Nao, seeing that Shizuru had her friend in control joined in. It was now three on three.

In a swift motion, Shizuru managed to turn Natsuki around. Crimson orbs stared directly at emeralds and soft fingers gently caressed the short but silky midnight colored hair. "Natsuki... it's okay. I'm okay! Please come back to me." She then pulled the brunette in a tight embrace. "Shizuru?" Emerald's glow finally returned.

Nao attacked first choosing Vega. 'This guy should be piece of cake. The mutt had already gave this bastard a nice beating. Hehehe... But of course blonde doesn't know that!' She used her speed to connect two to three punches at a time. Vega wasn't able to keep up due to his injuries. He was badly beaten last night and earlier. But his pride kept him standing. He won't let a mere girl take the best of him.

Balrog tried to execute a haymaker towards Ryu but it was countered by an uppercut. He then followed up by series of air combos. Ken who was left with Sagat just gave the kick boxer a three elbow combination near the ribs. The boxer executed heavy wild swings in order to get back at Ryu back was denied of any opportunity as Ryu stayed calm and concentrated. Ken on the other hand toying with Sagat's already exhausted body. Although the three antagonist manage to land some decent blows, the payback's really bitch.

"Shizuru?" Natsuki asked, still holding in a tight embrace. "You're ok..." she whispered.

"I am... my Natsuki and it's all because of you." Shizuru released the raven haired beauty from her tight embrace and gently cupped her cheeks. "Thank you." A deep passionate kiss followed.

Vega continued to clawed forward that caused Nao to move backwards. "Shit!" The red-head cursed as she felt her back on the wall. Vega saw this as an opportunity, gathered all his remaining strengths and thrust forward in hopes to finally end the red head. However, that move was his biggest mistake as he connected with the wall when Nao docked, that caused his claws to break. 'Ouch! Hahaha! Serves you right!' The smirking Nao countered with an uppercut to the mid section. The punch was so hard, Vega coughed blood.

"Shoryuken!" Nao looked at the direction of the voice and saw Ken executed a flying uppercut. The same one the she usually saw Natsuki do. 'So she got it from him.' The kickboxer finally knocked-out. "Tatsumaki Senpuu-Kyaku" Nao saw Ryu executed a series of flying spinning kick towards the boxer's face. Another move that she saw Natsuki execute in one of her fights. In a matter of second the boxer too was knocked-out. 'Darn! Am I the only one who doesn't have a finishing blow? Gahhhh… this can't be! I need to create one.' She started her assault again with Vega giving him hard punches too the face. Oh noh… not the face… Vega was still standing but it was clear that he was already knocked-out. "Super! Hyper! Mega! Ultra! SEXY SPINNNINNGGG HEELLLLL KICKKKK!" The red head shouted as she executed a spinning heal kick but her efforts were wasted as Vega hit the ground before the kick was delivered. "Darn!" Nao angrily said.

Seeing that his warriors have fallen, Haru started to run but tripped due to panic. The sound he caused caught the lovers attention. He saw the anger in both emerald and crimson so he started backing his ass up. Fearing for his life, he finally revealed his final weapon. He took out a device from his hands and started to activate it.

"Ahhhhh" Natsuki fell on her knees as she held her head. "Head…. hurtssss…. ahhhhhhhh." It was the device that controlled the chip on her brain.

"One wrong move and she's dead!" Haru threatened them.

Ryu, Ken, Nao and Shizuru started to surround Natsuki while glaring dagger at Haru who just laughed in return. "Hahaha! Move closer and I'll kill her! Hahaha-" His celebration was interrupted when a solid punch connected to his face. He was so focused on the fighters that he had forgotten the other person in the room. It was his brother, who threw a punch at him. The device was dropped and picked up by Ichiro, deactivating it to release Natsuki from her pain.

It was Ichiro now who was showing rage and wanted revenge for what his brother had done to him. He picked him up and started to punch him in the face. Haru was down on the floor but the assault continued. It was only when Shizuru interjected that he stopped. "Father please stop now." Upon seeing that his daughter was okay, he enveloped her in tight embrace. "I'm so sorry Shizuru! I'm so sorry!"

Haru gritted in pain but still won't accept defeat. He pulled a hidden gun from his waist and pointed it at Shizuru.

BANG!

The sound of a gun echoed through out the old warehouse.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


A lone woman was standing across the green meadows. Two large tombstones were located in front of her. She placed a bouquet of flowers and pour sake on the graves. Two gentle arms encircled her waist. "We need to go." Whispered in a husky voice.

"Ara... a little more time." A single tear fell on her eyes.

"He gave his life for you. He's happy with your mother now." Natsuki wiped the tear in Shizuru's face.

"Don't ever leave me."

"I won't. I promise."

"Goodbye... father, mother." Natsuki took Shizuru's hand as they walked towards the horizon.

"Everything will be okay Shizuru. I'm here for you and you know that I love you."

"I know. Thank you my Natsuki."

"Oh... speaking of thanks... Nao asked me to thank you."

"Ara? what for? I'm the one who's in debt with her."

"Well... Vega, Saga and Balrog were three of the most wanted criminals and got big bounties on their heads so it a very big catch for Nao."

"Ara... so Yuukin-san was a bounty hunter."

"Yeah... she found out she can make more money in it rather than stealing with perverts."

"How did she end up like that."

"It's a long story... but to make it short... a drunken perverted man tripped towards Nao so she beat the crap out of him. A roving police officer saw the commotion and proceed to stop the fight. But when he got there, the man was already knocked out. He recognized the man and asked Nao to go to the station with her. She was surprised to get a reward for the man had a bounty on his head. And the rest was history."

"Ara... I don't know what to say."

They both laugh as they at in a nearby bench. When both are finally comfortable on their seats, Natsuki spoke. "Hmmm. Shizuru?"

"Yes?"

The biker took a box from her pocket. "It's been 5 years 8 months 4 weeks and 3 days late but." She opened the box and knelt on one knee. "Will you marry me?"

Tears started to fell upon Shizuru's face and she covered her mouth in surprised. "Oh my Natsuki... Yes! Of course! Yes!" She then lunges towards Natsuki to give her a hug.

The raven haired beauty took the ring from the box and gently put it in Shizuru's ring finger.

"Ooops..." The ring can only fit halfway. "It won't go any further."

"Ara... but I thought Natsuki had gotten it re-sized already?"

"Yes! so maybe ... " She really didn't want to complete her sentence.

"Is Natsuki saying I have gotten fat?" Shizuru's tone had become dangerous.

"No... I... ah... maybe it shrunk... gah... " Natsuki ran.


Natsuki and Shizuru now happily married and enjoying each other's company in their newly bought king size bed. "I love you." Shizuru told Natsuki as she attacked the bruenette with kisses. "I love you!" She gave her another set of kisses. "I love you!" She was now laying on top of her.

"I love you more!" Natsuki responded with her own sets of kissed. She gently pushed the tawny haired beauty so she was now sitting on her lap. "I love you so much!" Her hands were exploring Shizuru's every curve as she passionately kissed her.

Both women moaned in pleasure as they explored each other's cave. They slowly removed each other's shirt and started to caress each other. Natsuki moved from Shizuru's lips through her neck. Shiruzu leaned back to give more access to Natsuki. The biker started to lick every piece of Shizuru and started her journey to her peaks when -

The door suddenly opened. "KUGA! I NEED HELP!" Nao was shocked upon seeing the two in a compromised position. "OOPSSSSSS!"

"NAO!"
