WARNING THIS CHAPTER IS RATED M
Jason Schulze had finally stopped screaming
That wasn't to say that he was anywhere near calm and controlled. The monster with the burning red eyes that stood in front of him stared back at him coldly and slightly expectantly.
As the panic began to fade away it was quickly replaced by a rage that spread through his veins like wildfire. He began to hyperventilate as he fought to keep the fear that he felt even now trying to overwhelm him. How had this girl trapped him like this? How had she managed to so easily predict him?
He had been to impatient he realized, to set on achieving a seemingly easy goal that he failed to even consider the possible danger's that might have laid ahead. He was furious with himself and at the situation, but he knew that that was just something he had come up with in order to fight the fear he felt when he looked into those fiery eyes.
"Now, now," she spoke. "there's no need for that, please calm down or you will pass out."
Gritting his teeth he tried to ignore the pain caused by each and every single link as he continued to breathe heavily. "Fuck you, bitch."
She cocked her head to the side in an inquisitive fashion, but her expression never changed. "I am going to ask you some questions," her voice was as cold and expressionless as her face. "And you are going to answer them."
Rage surged through him again as his heavy breathing continued. "Fuck you." He managed to grunt out before spitting defiantly at her feet.
She seemed not to have heard his curse or see his small act of supposed bravery as she continued, "Where is Natsuki?"
What?! Whatever he had been expecting her to ask, this was definitely not it. Oh, he knew very well who she was talking about but why in the hell would she want to know what happened to that other girl when he had been sent here to kill her? She must be insane.
"Fu-" he began to say before her movement cut him off. It was slight and barely noticeable but she flicked her wrist ever so slightly and the coils of blue and green chain that until then had laid at their feet began to move. Part of it rose into the air before lunging at him in a serpentine fashion. He gasped as he felt the cold steel wrap around his index finger and tighten down, the bladed sides slicing into his skin like scalpels.
"Now," she said as the chain continued tightening. "While I do no care what you say to me," She paused as he fought to keep his face as blank as hers but the pain was becoming too much. The sound of his finger snapping like a twig is what finally made him decide to give up all pretenses. Now showing the first emotion she had so far Fujino's eyes flashed and she showed a fury far beyond anything he had previously thought humans capable of. "On this subject, I will allow no deviation."
He let out a scream as he felt his finger slowly being severed. When the digit came loose and the chain fell slack to the floor his hyperventilating began again. "You crazy bitch!" he let out between gasps.
The anger that had filled her features just moments before was gone so quickly it may never have been there at all. "Please answer the question."
"Why the hell should I?" he growled.
"If you don't," she said as he fearfully gazed into her fiery red eyes. "I will continue…" Her upwards inflexion as she hefted the large naginata let him know exactly what she was planning on continuing.
Despite the situation he arched his eyebrow slightly. This girl was talking about torturing him as if it were nothing. Like it was as simple and mundane as breathing. Those eyes held no doubt, no fear, only promises. His anger began to falter as he felt fear overtake him once again, the acid in his stomach was beginning to rise and he suddenly felt light headed.
Those red eyes truly were gateways into hell. They pulled him in, consuming and bathing him in fire, burning his skin and mind with all the promises of what she would do to him. After all the years he had been in this profession, all the times he had faced death and torture he had never once felt so terrified. The men he had fought always had doubts, fears that could be exploited but this not so simple girl in front of him showed none. He saw no possible openings in either her physical or mental walls. In fact the deeper he attempted to look the more the fires of her eyes consumed him.
Fear was what finally drove him to answer, he had never considered himself a coward but at this point he really didn't give a damn. "Sears has her."
Her expression did not change in the slightest at knowing that probably the most powerful company in the world had the blue haired girl. "Is she alive?"
He scoffed but immediately regretted it as he saw her flick her wrist again. "No! NO!" he screamed! Blood was running down the side of his leg from his hand as he bowed his head fighting to catch his breath. "I don't know damn it! They probably killed her or turned her into some kind of lab rat."
He was tensing now flexing all his muscles in a vain attempt to fight the pain. At his words her eyes flashed for a second and the chains the entwined his body began to tighten.
"I'm sorry!" he screamed as the chains sliced through his clothes and into his skin. "If you let me go I'll help you! I'll help you find her!"
"Who do you work for?" she questioned ignoring his cries.
"Schwarz!" he wheezed, gasping for breath.
"What did you do to Natsuki?" her voice was low and demanding.
Terror filled him nearly causing him to vomit, and he would have if he could breathe. "They ordered-" he coughed as he felt some of the tension in the chains being released but not enough so that he fell to the floor. Blood was dripping from the bottom of his feet and onto the floor.
He was wheezing and coughing trying to catch his breath again while Fujino waited patiently in front of him. It was amazing how in this moment when he knew he was probably going to die that everything became so much more vivid. The pain he felt from the chain wrapped tightly around him, and the surreal way in which it kept him off the floor. The way the moonlight poured through the window and into the room, partially constricted by the blinds so that only a beam of light a few feet wide ever encroached into the dark dwelling. And finally the way Fujino stood in front of him, holding that massive archaic and yet surreal weapon, body language revealing nothing, facial features completely blank. She was truly a beautiful girl, even in her simple clothing she would have stood out in a crowd. In any other situation he would have sat back and enjoyed her beauty but at the moment he found that nearly impossible. Besides her eyes, he tried with all his might to avoid looking into them but they constantly pulled at him like a black hole, consuming every part of him.
"I am waiting." She said simply, pulling him from his thoughts.
He started shaking his head, "No, no, no, no." tears were starting to stream down his face.
"I suggest you answer Me." she said watching his pitiful display.
"No, no, no," he continued starting to plea closing his eyes in a vain attempt to block out reality.
He let out a cry as he felt a piercing pain in his left shoulder. Opening his eyes he looked down to his shoulder. The blade of Fujino's dark blue naginata was lodged in his shoulder, severing bone, tendons and muscle.
"I suggest," he looked up. Shizuru was right there in front of him, face inches from his. He could feel her breath on his face. Her proximity gave him no choice but to look into her eyes. He thought he felt terror before that was nothing compared to what he was feeling now. "That you answer me."
He felt pressure building as she started to pull the blade down, it easily cut through muscle on its slow journey towards the center of his chest. He could care less, his eyes were locked on hers and what he saw there was driving him mad.
"They ordered me to injure her, I shot her while she was driving and they picked her up." He said as if mesmerized.
She slowly withdrew the blade from his torso, intentionally prolonging his pain before returning to her spot in the moonlight. "Thank you." She said.
His vision starting to blur from loss of blood John stupidly replied, "Your welcome."
"Where can I find her?"
He began shaking his head again but quickly stopped as the world began to spin.
"Very well." She said, understanding that he didn't know.
Relief flooded him and he unconsciously sighed as he felt the chains wrapping around his body begin to loosen. "Farewell." Fujino said politely. He squinted for a moment. What? Why would she-? Then he felt the chains wrap around his body anew, tightening. And this time they weren't stopping.
"Sir we are outside Fujino's residence, it appears that the front door was picked." A man in swat gear said into his shoulder radio, crouched out side Shizuru's slightly ajar front door. Behind him were about ten men, each geared like him armed with various weapons ranging from shotguns to submachine guns. Screams could be heard coming from within.
"Well, get in there damn it, he's obviously in there." Smith said over the radio in a slightly annoyed voice. "Oh, and be careful when approaching the girl or you and your men will probably not be going home."
The crouched man sighed before looking back at his men. They were all from different parts of Japan, from various special-forces and police squads. The elite of the elite and by some form or fashion they all owed allegiance to Sears. From his understanding, he and his men were the best Sears had in this hemisphere so he couldn't really understand why in their briefing and now they were constantly being told to be weary around a mere girl.
Deciding it was pointless to puzzle over; he released the safety on his m4, raised a fist in the air, extended to fingers and signaled his men to follow him into the dark apartment.
Entering one by one they filed into the building, each going off into a different direction, covering each other's backs and checking each and every dark corner. The place appeared empty, as it was quiet except for the occasional screams resonating from a room down the hallway. Communicating through silent hand signals he let them know that they were headed towards the room. He assumed it was the girl screaming, that that sick fuck Schulze was probably having his way with her as they spoke but that was no reason to risk his life or the lives of his men.
What struck him as odd though was the tone of the screaming voice. It was nothing like that of a female but it was distinctly screaming. Now he knew John and he also knew that even under torture the man didn't crack.
Reaching the doorway he quietly spoke into his mic again. "Sir we are outside the bedroom-"
"Damn it' the flinched as Smith yelled into his ear. "Get in there before she-"
Choosing to ignore his better judgment he entered the room before Smith could finish berating him.
Entering the room he was immediately blinded as something sprayed across his helmets visor and his ears were filled with the most blood curdling scream he had ever heard in all his life.
The man behind him pushed him to the floor as per their training covering him. The sounds that followed were just as disturbing as the scream.
Over the mic he heard Smith sigh. "Too late…"
Smith sighed as he entered the apartment. This is going to be one hell of a night. His men were currently all over the place, looking for clues he knew they weren't going to find, securing witness and making sure this incident didn't get out. Armed guards were posted at the entrance and were standing guard in the apartment as well.
Upon entering the captain of the assault team who no longer was wearing his helmet approached him saluting. "Sir."
Grudgingly sipping his hot chocolate Smith didn't bother to look up from his cup. "Don't call me sir. Now, what happened?"
"Well-" the captain hesitated.
"Oh, just show me the damn room." Smith said annoyed.
"Right this wa-" the man began to say raising his arm, but Smith was already walking down the hallway towards the bedroom. He knew the layout of the place before even Fujino did.
Pushing open the door with his mug he stopped at what lay before him. He had seen a lot of things but this one took the cake. "Well," he took another sip. "I think he's dead."
Lying near the window was a bloody pile of flesh, different sizes and body parts all piled together in a pool of blood. "So captain," Smith said as the man walked up behind him. "What happened?"
He heard the man sigh. "Well, I didn't see because the blood splattered-"
"Yeah yeah, answer the question."
"She apparently had him wrapped in some sort of bladed chain and right when we entered-"
"She cut him into pieces." Smith took another sip. "Lovely."
He walked over the bloody pile, examining it. "Looks like she cut him up a bit before she cut him up." Smith said with a slight chuckle.
"Sir if I may?" the captain said walking up to stand next to him. "I don't think she did it. I've dealt with murderers, terrorists and psychos and I don't think there is anyway that girl did this."
Smith scoffed. "Oh she did this," he crouched down and poked at the hand that was gripping a silenced PPK.
"I can't believe it…"
Smith sighed. "You have never dealt with someone like Fujino before."
"Sir?"
Standing Smith turned to look at the man. "What did she do when you entered the room?"
"Well after the uh-" he gestured to the pile, "She seemed to come out of a trance and broke down crying."
"Where is she now?"
"This way."
The captain led Smith through the apartment towards the kitchen. And there wrapped in a blanket shaking was Shizuru Fujino. "They cleaned her up and-"
"Yes, I know." Smith cut him off. This really is going to be a long night.
A/N: Ok well if you guys think im sick for writing this chapter sorry heh, i kinda wanted to show how far shizuru would go for natsuki. I was going to make it longer too but the muse left (i wrote for 3 hours straight) so instead of cheapening what would have been im saving it for what will be. That aside i again apologize for the late update, the past week my computer was kind of out of commision, my mother bored got fried some how and Dell took their sweet time in figuring that out so thats part of it. The other part is just personal crap. Once again, hope you enjoyed the chapter and please check out the poll on my Profile, and please check out my other story Together Forever, its doing really pitiful on the review front and thats coming from someone who doesnt ask for em.
