The Strong and The Weak
Chapter 13: Tch! Stupid Girlー
Saruhiko leaned back in his chair after ending the call with his captain. His other superior, Seri Awashima, leaned over his desk and dropped a stack of papers on his desk in front of him.; giving him a view of her rather large breasts.
"Fushimi-kun. I need these papers looked over and signed if necessary by the end of your shift."
"Vice captain-"
Awashima silenced him with a hand,"No more excuses. These papers-" She placed her palm on the large stack,"Are the same ones you quit doing and walked out on yesterday evening after the first half hour. I suggest you get moving if don't want this week's pay docked off."
"Tch."
"Alright then."
"Vice captain. Captain had just contacted me with information on a strain that was on probation that needs detainment."
"Right. You just got off the line with the captain." The blonde had already moved on to monitor the rest of her subordinates and sighed,"I suppose those papers could wait- but they need to be done by the end of this week, but Fushimi-kun... If you can make it brief, then by all means- Do so."
"Yes, ma'am." Saruhiko shut his computer and stood up from his seat.
"You two-" He spotted two of his subordinates ahead of him and ordered,"Akiyama. Domyouji. With me."
Upon arrival, Haruna's door was already wide open. He was well aware that she was involved in this. He led his men upstairs and stood next to his captain who was already in the room. His men went to work on the strain as he addressed him,"What did this thing do?"
"It is: 'What did this man do?', Fushimi-kun," His King walked to the door and turned around,"Besides, what does a man want from someone he is clearly obsessed with?"
Saruhiko kept silent and he turned around to see Haruna sitting on the couch with a hand on her brow.
Akiyama came into the room and disclosed to his high ups,"There are pictures of a certain girl within the strain's bedroom. Its..." He took a deep breath before going back to his PDA,"Extensive."
He knew she heard him. Saruhiko watched the words of his seaweed haired subordinate sink into Haruna as she covered her mouth in disbelief; her eyes twitching with disgust as they were cast to the floor.
This strain might've been some obsessed, deluded pervert, but this woman must have done something to spark some thing that had caused this preventable outcome.
"I want to see."
She what-?
"Sashimi, I want to see."
Why would she want to see something that would potentially make things worse for her?
So stupid.
Just like somebody he knew perfectly well.
He simply walked out the door; past his subordinates and out the door towards the room next door to the right of her apartment. He didn't bother taking off his shoes as he had deemed it unnecessary to respect any criminal's household. However, he heard her shuffle behind him as he continued down the hall past the living room. The sound of boot zippers were heard and he couldn't careless anymore. Reaching the door to the strain's room, he opened it up and walked inside. Saruhiko made it to the center of the room and turned around to reface the wall. The third in command heard Haruna run through the hall and come to a walk once reaching his view at the bedroom door. His eyes went back to scan the multitude of pictures that covered an extensive part of the white wallpaper.
It all seemed to be progressive; starting the left, there were pictures of her at the market and walking home with her Ashinaka uniform with what looked like to be a group of friends. They were far away pictures. No close ups or anything with her looking towards the camera. As you proceeded to the right, more into the middle of the cluster, it included her apartment. Ones with her opening her door with her keys and others actually inside her house. Finally, the ones towards the right or rather the newest ones, were exclusively inside of her house.
Inside the living room, her bedroom and the bathroom to name a few.
Each were more personal as there was her silhouette when she was inside the shower and several shots of her sleeping face.
"You know, I was there when he moved in that day."
He turned his head to the side to her and raised a brow.
Haruna explained with a confused expression on her face,"It was one of those abnormally, clear blue skies of fall. I just ran into him on my way back home from school and he was there leaning with his arms crossed on the railing."
Her expression became a bit brighter.
"And he was just looking out so blissfully. And... He was really cute."
"Well-" The man turned his head to her and eyed her lazily as she shrugged,
"Shit...?"
He clicked his tongue and started out the door before he felt a warm hand placed on his shoulder.
"What?" Saruhiko asked Haruna without turning around.
"I've finally made a decision."
"And I should know what you mean by that because?"
"Hah." She chorttled,"Munakata would understand. Shoo, shoo."
She continued to press her hands behind his back to usher him furter out the door.
"Don't tell me what to do."
He quickly turned around and grasped her tiny wrists in his grip; pulling them up over her head and pinning them to the wall of the hallway. Seeing that she didn't flinch or give any sign of alarm, he placed a knee between her legs to add.
"You won't do anything to me." She whispered in the darkened hall. Her face was lightly illuminated by the light peeking through the windows. Despite saying that, Saruhiko heard her breath turn heavy and pace at a faster rate. The lack of light was still able to shine on her vulnerability.
"I'm a man."
"You are a stupid, disgusting fish." He heard her voice quiver a bit this time,"Now I suggest that you stop toying with me and actually do your job."
"And what is my job?"
"You're asking me?" She hissed,"Just get the hell off of me, Saru!"
He removed a hand from his grip on Haruna's wrists; only holding them in place with one. Impulsively, he balled up his fists and thrust it into the wall beside her head.
You shitty monkey, Saru!
Misaki's words echoed in his head; leaving him absolutely restless.
So annoying!
He clicked his tongue and leaned in closer to her. He saw her eyes shut quickly as he laid his head down on her shoulder. Everything was so annoying to him. She was especially annoying to him. He felt her shift a bit as if she was trying to make him feel more comfortable.
"Hey," She whispered through the silence. Saruhiko felt a small hand on the center of his back that gripped his coat lightly asking,"What do you want?"
The girl who reminded him of Misaki.
The way their cheeks puff out.
The way their lips form that line when their clearly spacing out.
Their impulsiveness.
"I hate every one of them." He finished out loud,"Haruna."
"You... what?"
"You know what? Here's a little tip for you-" He went on flatly,"Decide whether or not you're one of the weak or the strong because there will be no one to save you in the end."
"You're so sad." Her face wasn't the easiest to read. It was comparable to a blank canvas. "You should be on one of those de-motivational posters, Saru."
His head popped up in slight surprise that his nickname was said by another voice who's owner was not Misaki. The high school student seemed to notice his state of disorientation.
"You don't answer to me when I refer to you as Sashimi." She glowered at him,"Besides, I think a monkey is more befitting. I don't want to hate you even more just because I hate raw fish."
Saruhiko clicked his tongue again,"What kind of Japanese are you?"
"One who just doesn't like raw fish, you bastard!" She demanded,"Set an appointment! Munakata and I. Tomorrow. Four in the afternoon sharp, Mr. I'm Finally Going To Finally Do Something With My Life As Third In Command."
Saruhiko removed himself from Haruna and he must have appeared not all pleased (not that he could care any less) from the look she was starting to give him.
"Please?"
His annoyance slowly dissipated. Saruhiko drew closer to her again and asked,"Please what?"
"What? Are you deaf?"
"I heard you." The third in command admitted,"I just like to hear you beg."
"At least this is first for me hearing that you actually like something for once in your miserable life."
Haruna stepped away from the wall to avoid anymore contact from the man and started to walk out.
"Life isn't miserable, Haruna." He then stepped back and watched her prepare to leave as she zipped her boots up one by one to her knees. The monkey added while she clicked the heels of her boots on the section of wood flooring to ensure that everything was snug,"It's annoying and debilitating."
"You know what they say: Life is what you make it; the embodiment of a man."She sighed and scratched her head before shutting the door behind her,"This is clearly saying something."
He heard Haruna again reminding him; her voice muffled behind the forest green door,"And don't forget to schedule my appointment, Saru!"
A/N: EDIT 6/12 - A shorter chapter than the rest and Saru OCness worries me, so I'll go back here and fix some quotes/thoughts before I write the next chapter. c:
The way I wrote Fushimi (now that I look back at this chapter) is totally crazy. This man, I'm certain... he has self control and I think I overdid it a bit, haha.
SmileRen: Yes, yes indeed. ;D
Yakame: You really put a huge grin on my face! Thank you so much! I apologize for the incredibly slow updates. It went alright surprisingly, I thought it'd be a lot worse than I thought, but I definitely failed the essay portion D: (Pssst, I might add in her answer by next chapter.) Thank you for sticking with me! :)
Eruruu4: Yay~ I decided to put it in Saru's POV for a change~ I'm not sure if I botched it, but I hope this compensates, ahaha.
indrani: Another anon who put a smile on my face! I'm glad you're liking it so far and I can tell the questions are building up~ It'll all be explained soon. Of course, I'll continue- and I'll have you in mind as well! 8D
oXo Akino oXo:Sorry for the wait! Thank you, haha. I'll try to update faster. c;
Diclonious57: I'd want my own Yata, bwahaha. But I'm not sure if I can withstand all the yelling and curse words. I'd probably handle it as bad as Haruna. xD
Yukkino Hime: Don't worry, don't worry! I don't think its lame at all! Thank you for your review! I'm glad you liked it!
HEY GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSS GUESS WHAT:
Summer break finally starts on Thursday. 8D
What? You guys already got out?
Aren't you lucky? Anyway, it probably means more frequent updates or less updates since I know for certain I'll have family/friend bonding time, parties, out of the country vacations, blahblahblah etc. C:
See you next time. c:
