A/C: Update again o3o, I´m submitting stuff at deviantart (mekyoii is my username) so if you wish to take a look in the mean time xD
So to answer the questions I got in the last chapter o3o
-They fused like that since their thoughts were highly in synch as in both wanted the same thing which was to hide Brute and all of the guys n girls can do the same fusion if they ever are in a similar situation and their thoughts are in synch
-Hahaha well they have random moments like this but no, it´s each one with their respective counterpart ex. Raze and Brute- Butch and Buttercup
-Yes, it´s not long before they find out they are brothers
-Well, the puffs and ruffs will take some time to appear (specially in the PPGR: Realities version) but they do share random dreams and parts where they listen to the mirror´s conversation on the other side, as the ruffs start merging with the boys (Ressee, Haru and Kai) they´ll be hearing and having dreams involving the rudes more often ex. Butch´s nightmare with Raze appearing on the mirror xD
-If you have any other questions feel free to ask xD I would just like a name to address my replies to
-Sorry about the use of ´´xxx´´ but I have no idea how to make a division line since it disappears xD I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to change it and so I will gladly change it n_n
Chapter 11: After Beatings
I was walking to school, thinking on what Makoto had told me some days ago when I went to visit him, he was in a terrifying state in which he looked like a mummy as he remained bedridden. It´s been a week since Makoto stopped coming from school, he may come today but fuck… All this is Daiichi´s fault, that bastard dared to hurt Makoto… I warned him and he did it anyway, when I find him, he won´t know what hit him…- or so I thought when I started hearing voices nearby, it sounded like a group of kids in which I could recognize Daiichi, before even thinking on interrupting, I hid behind some bushes to be able to listen on their conversation
"What do you mean by that? "
"I´m not going to stay in this group anymore "said a voice which resembled Daiichi´s
"But you are our leader, you can´t leave "said a boy
"Well, now you see I can, I don´t know what you´ll do but after what happened, I just can´t keep being like this "said Daiichi sounding angry
"For the other? But Boss, you ordered us to pummel him… and you also pummeled him" said another boy
"Shut up! I don´t want you to remind me of that, I´m aware of what I did, that´s why I´m quitting this group which never had a relevant meaning, I only caused pain to people that didn´t deserve it and hurt someone I swore to protect! " said Daiichi in wrath
"Eh? What´s the meaning of this? Boss, you´re not serious… are you? "
"I´m being completely serious, you are all a bunch of scum which don´t know the words ´´guilt´´ and ´´shame´´ " said Daiichi still angry, why is he behaving this way? Is she showing remorse…?
"Leader… this is all because of that boy isn´t it… I think you are exaggerating, he is a common boy without anything special" said another boy
"Shut up! " yelled Daiichi "No one and I repeat, NO ONE insults Makoto you heard me? He has more worth than any of you together! And I´m embarrassed to think I ever considered you all my friends, I have no idea what I was thinking, but this is over"
"Oh Boss this is not possible… you became fond of him? "
"It is possible, I won´t deny it ever again" said Daiichi puzzling me, what was he saying? Did he hit his head?
"But Boss, friendship is bullshit you´ve said so, even more between guys, that´s being gay"
"I thought he was a girl at first"said Daiichi, comment that really riled me and had to struggle not to jump him that instant
"Boss, you pummeled him for knowing he was really a guy? "Asked another boy, I can´t believe he fucking hit Makoto for a shitty reason like that one
"…I know that what I did was wrong, but that will stay behind me…" said Daiichi uneasy
"Then you really are fond of him…" said another boy as they remained silent
"Wow…" said the boys as they started to laugh hysterically "Who´d know our boss was such a homo! "
"Yeah, what a pussy! " said another boy
"I can´t believe we had someone so embarrassing as a boss! " said the boys still laughing
"Laugh all you want for what I care" said Daiichi as I saw him walking way, So that´s what really happened, I thought as I followed him
"I know you are following me" said Daiichi without turning to see me
"That´s right" I said as I glared at him "Now, if you would look me in the eye"
"I know you were listening to our conversation" said Daiichi as he turned to see me with an indifferent expression
"Oh really… and how do you know that? " I asked him as I threw him another glare while snarling
"Your presence was really heavy, as it is now, it´s easy to know you were watching me" said Daiichi as he looked at me inexpressively
"You sure are shameless, how dare you say you are fond of him after what you did" I said while pissed
"I know that what I did was really wrong, that I won´t be able to amend for it and that his trust in me is almost none but I don´t plan on arguing with you, my words are probably meaningless to you but I know that what I said was the cruel truth, so I don´t need you believing me since there´s nothing to prove "said Daiichi
"Liar… you tricked Makoto in the lowest and inhuman way possible, he likes you, yes, unfortunately he still cherishes you, however you still are taking advantage of his kindness, you are an ungrateful rat, how much I despise you, you and your family are such egocentric money rats" I said fuming
"What are you waiting for? " asked Daiichi
"About what? " I asked as I snarled at him
"Pummel me" said Daiichi or more like ordered me
"What…?" I asked confused for the tempting petition
"I deserve to be pummeled, just leave me barely breathing or kill me whichever is alright for me" said Daiichi perplexing me
"Kill you? Have you lost your mind? " I asked angry
"Aren´t you the one who just said that despised me? What I did cannot be undone, if you may, I would prefer that you left me barely alive, that way I could live with the pain of what I did… " said Daiichi
"I don´t have the slightest idea of what you just said, but don´t worry, I´ll make you suffer what Makoto went through if not more" I said about to tackle him

"Elesis… Do you think Daiichi will come today to school? Miharu told me he hadn´t come that week I couldn´t go…"said the little boy to his bunny while he hugged it and crossed a street "Eh? You think he will? "Asked to the toy as he smiled cheerfully "I want to see him Elesis… Daiichi is not mean anymore, I´m so happy for him, I think It was worth all these injuries, although… Elesis, do you know why he hit me…? Though it doesn´t matter anymore, what matters is that Daiichi is good now "said Makoto while giggling

"You are a jackass! " I yelled as I knelt on Daiichi and pummeled him with fury as Daiichi didn´t defend
"Elesis… what is this…?" asked Makoto frightened for watching the scene, Why is Rage not defending himself…?- thought as he ran towards them
"This is for hurting Makoto! " I yelled about to hit him again when someone stopped my arm from landing the punch, I turned around just to stare surprised at Makoto
"Stop! "Screamed Makoto as Daiichi turned to see him as he remained bleeding from his forehead
"Makoto…" I murmured
"Miharu… why are you hitting Rage…?" asked Makoto while crying
"Makoto…I…" I murmured as I wondered what to say
"Miharu, I already forgave him! I don´t want you to hit him! "Said Makoto while sobbing as Daiichi sat straight and looked to the floor
"You…"Makoto murmured as he glared daggers at Daiichi while shedding tears "Why do you let him hit you? I already forgave you, why are you doing this…? Rage… you have no idea how much it hurt me seeing you this way… what happened already happened and you won´t ever change it… you win nothing letting others hit you! I thought you were smarter, I thought you reasoned more…" said Makoto while sobbing "Rage… I like you so much, and seeing you this way… you are an idiot! " screamed as he left crying ignoring his bunny had fallen
"Wow… that really made me feel bad" I said while sighing "I´ll stop for now, but you know I still despise you and I´ll continue to hate you until I see you really changed, you can deceive Makoto but you can´t deceive me" I said as Daiichi picked the toy and stared intently at it
"What now you ignore me? " I asked as I frowned at him
"Raze…"murmured Daiichi as he rubbed the patched star on the toy´s cheek
"…You…" I murmured as I stared at his sad expression towards the toy "…What are you waiting for? " I asked him as I sighed in defeat
"What…"murmured Daiichi confused
"I left you alone, go look for Makoto" I said
"Miharu…" murmured Daiichi as he looked confused at me "Thank you" said as he started running after him
"Just something else"
"What? "Asked Daiichi while turning to see me as he stopped
"Why are you so bothered with what you did to Makoto? " I asked him as he looked indifferent at me
"Because he is the one that has made me realize this world´s way to function is plainly wrong" said Daiichi as he ran off again, Can it be really true that someone can change this easily? I said I didn´t believe him, however… his aura doesn´t lie… I know he meant what he said, it´s amazing how he changed with this incident and well… it still bothers me that he could hurt him again but I know that I won´t be of much help for Makoto from now on.. so I´ll have to trust Daiichi whether I like it or not- I thought as I looked down while blood trailed down from my shorts "Take care of him, Daiichi" I said now facing the direction Daiichi had taken
"Makoto…" I murmured as I woke up slowly and stared at the ceiling
"Hey…" said Daiichi who was lying on a bed beside me, he had his forehead bandaged as well as his right eye, a patch on his left cheek and as he sat while groaning I noticed his full bandaged body
"…You are hurt… you shouldn´t sit…" I said trying to make him lie down
"I don´t care, Miharu, where is Makoto? "Asked Daiichi sounding upset
"I haven´t heard from the doctor… but Makoto was in the surgery room…" I said as I looked down
"What? Surgery…? Did he say anything from how he was…? "Asked Rage sounding anxious
"Uhmm… just that he is in critical condition…" I said kind of sad for reminding myself that
"Critical…"said Daiichi as he sighed an lay down covering his face with a bandaged hand "If only I had believed him… he wouldn´t have gotten in that mess… it seems I just can´t do anything well"said as he chuckled upset
"Daiichi…"
"He was fine yesterday; he was that lively monkey in the morning like he always is… if it weren´t because I doubted him for I don´t know what reason, I always trust his words unless they are obvious lies he would even laugh for…He would be fine, he didn´t need a fucking surgery yesterday" said Daiichi as he snarled and made a fist, it´s weird for to swear or even get angry, but I guess the situation was unavoidable for it to happen…
"Daiichi… it´s not your fault… don´t blame yourself like that… we can´t change what happened… you´ll see Makoto will turn out to be okay…" I said trying to reassure him in what the doctor came in, moment Daiichi didn´t wasn't to ask about Makoto
"How is he? "Asked Daiichi going straight to the point
"That boy is still in a critical condition, our surgeons are doing all they can…" said the doctor sounding preoccupied by something
"Was there anything wrong? " asked Daiichi growing impatient, another rare behavior of his
"Well… that´s not allow to be given out just like that" said the Doctor
"Not given out just like that? "asked Daiichi as he stood up from the bed and lifted the doctor by the face with a hand, it was sure a scary behavior coming from him…
"Look, you have three seconds before I throw you to the wall and use you as target for my knife throwing or you can just tell us what we want"said Daiichi while snarling at him
"But I just can´t give-"
"I don´t fucking care you hear me? That boy is everything to me, he is my family, my life… or you spit out what you know or I´ll freaking dismember you, okay? " said Daiichi as he glared daggers at the man… he was truly enraged… his aura had grown to a murderous red, it was suffocating… though mixed in was also grief, guilt… concern… his worry for Makoto´s condition was really serious…
"Uhmmm…Daiichi… you can´t talk to a Doctor like that…" I said
"Shut up" said Daiichi as he looked at me with the corner of his eye for what I cringed startled and looked down scared
"Alright, you win" said the Doctor
"So? " said Daiichi still snarling and shook him to make him talk
"The boy´s body has been reacting to the surgery, in fact he even woke up at the middle of the surgery, he sounded confused and kept saying he didn´t need the surgery, he was screaming until he passed out again but my concern is if the boy wakes up again it might be worse"
"I see…" said Daiichi as he calmed down and dropped the doctor, he sat again on the bed and proceeded to lie down while he groaned for the movements he had made
"Uhmm…Doctor… please take care of Makoto…" I said sheepishly as he nodded and left, I was a little scared for being with Daiichi right now…
"Miharu… I really need to apologize, I lost any kind of sanity I had and took it out partly on you…"said Daiichi
"It´s alright… I understand… Makoto has always been so deep in your heart…" I said slowly smiling
"…Miharu? "
"I´m happy… I´m happy that you have looked after him all this time… I´m indebted to you…" I said
"Miharu, it´s alright…" said Daiichi while sighing
"I´m sure he´ll be fine… after all, he´s always been hard to bring down…" I said still with the smile on my face
"I guess you are right, I´ll trust him more… just that it was heartbreaking seeing him be beaten the way he did, even if Brute was the one conscious.. " said Daiichi
"Yeah… I think she is a nice person…"
"Talking about that, what happened to her? "Asked Daiichi curious
"She said she had achiever her goal so she couldn´t hang around any longer… and left" I said
"I see… I have to admit it was nice having her with us, we couldn´t have made it without her, I would have liked to thank her though"
"I did…" I murmured
"Oh, really? That´s good to know" said Daiichi
"She also said we shouldn´t get used to her, since the next time we´ll be enemies…"
"Naturally, though I doubt it´ll be the first and last she joins us" said Daiichi
"Huh…? How do you know…?"
"Judging by her motives as well as autonomy, she will differ plenty of times with Berserk" said Daiichi as he closed his eyes, his drastic change in mood king of made me forget his angry face… it´s so weird but I can´t really memorize his angry expression, it´s like he never had been angry…
"Oh… that reminds me… how did you escape from Berserk…? " I asked curious
"Oh… that…"said Daiichi as he looked down troubled and sighed while uttering a troubled chuckle

"Hey Brute, what´s up with Berserk? "Asked Brat as she was setting the table
"Ahh, beats me, did something happen when I was not there? "Asked Brute as she stirred the mix
"I´m not sure, she just locked herself in the room and I can only hear bunch of stuff breaking and maybe something smacking the walls "said Brat as she looked at Brute "Think she is angry? "
"No, genius, don´t think so"said Brute sarcastically as she rolled her eyes
"Huh? But she sounds like if she were enraged, maybe she is? "Said Brat while looking at Brute
"Then maybe she is"said Brute as she rolled her eyes again at her sister´s stupidity
Xxx
What the hell was that? How could that have happened? I had him in my grasp and he escaped me… just for a freaking kiss! How could it have shocked me enough to not have gone after him? This is outrageous… this can´t be tolerated… I failed the mission and I let them escape because of one insignificant kiss- thought Berserk as she smacked the wall forming a crack- But how would I let this happen… I can feel how my pride has been completely shattered… but to think he would pull such stunt on me, talk about desperate methods… and that´s what makes me furious! I was a punch away from finishing him!- thought as she smacked the wall again- But he´ll see… when I find him, I´ll freaking crush him
"Berserk" said Brute as she opened the door and walked in, Berserk throwing her a glare "Mind coming downstairs already? I´ve been shouting, are you deaf? Hurry downstairs if you don´t want Brat eating all of the pancakes"said as she started to walk away
"…Say, where were you? "Asked Berserk making Brute stop and turn to see her
"Downstairs cooking, fuck, do you thing pancakes cook themselves or what? And Brat wouldn't lift a finger for her manicure or some shit like that" said Brute sounding annoyed
"No, I meant yesterday, when you took off to who knows where"said Berserk while she glared at her
"I came back home to watch wrestling on TV"said Brute unfazed
"Oh really…"murmured Berserk as she looked at her still suspiciously
"The hell, did you just crack the walls? You are so cleaning this mess yourself fuck" said Brute as she stared at the cracked walls "What happened anyway? You´re never this pissed, annoying yes, pissed not much to make a fucking dump out of the room"
"That guy kissed me"said Berserk as she snarled and walked out of the room
"What? That guy as in whom? "Asked Brute honestly surprised
"The one with the orange hair"said Berserk as she went downstairs and into the kitchen
"Wow, just wow"said Brute as she stood still completely awestruck, good thing she wasn´t there when that had happened cause she must have been completely furious afterwards and how not be after being a stubborn leader which can´t accept failure and less at the recognition of being her fault, those guys were in serious problems and unfortunately, there was no way she could help them again without Berserk turning even more suspicious of how she already was, not that she wanted to help them again, why would she?

"If only there existed a way to become more powerful"said Rage as he stared out the window, gazing at the scenery which consisted of Jacarandas, the hospital was close to the park and so, fortunately away from all the constant raging monsters that seem to appear causing havoc, also one of the prettiest parts of the city, the city in it´s all was terrifying looking with all those shattered buildings and places like the Business zone they were in previously but it had a few places that were somehow more decent looking than the others, like the park and the hospital which may not look that nice from the outside but it was really nice inside
"What now you are into playing with the punks? "Asked Rave whose voice sounded louder and rougher, his eyes now darker blue
"You again… well, it´s not that I have a choice, she looks like the kind of person that won´t give up till she finishes what she started, meaning she´ll be targeting us from now on" said Rage as he continued staring outside
"Well, I won´t lie, it would feel good getting back at them for kicking my ass like they just did" said Bruise as he yawned
"It´s not about payback, it´s about defense, we need to be able to fight them so we are not worrying when they´ll appear again and with Raze´s behavior, that´s a must"said Rage in a serious tone
"I´m afraid that won´t do" said a mysterious voice puzzling the two, they seemed to look around for the source until suddenly red smoke started forming in the center of the room forming the shape of a woman, both guys stared at her in complete awe, who was this being and what did she want?
