A/N: So what kept this one? My computer killed itself. So I had to rewrite the whole chapter! So annoying!
Anyways! hear it is! Coming to you from my little brother's shitty laptop!
The time was 11:56 PM. Wednesday.
Senpai yawned as he walked into the kitchen of his home, hoping to grab a midnight snack before returning to bed. He had been having trouble sleeping tonight, mainly due to the huge amount of concern he had for his two friends, Ayano Aishi and Jayson Stone. Both had been missing all day yesterday and even today, being absent in every one of their classes. The whole school's student population seemed oblivious to their location. It was also near impossible to reach them, due to them not answering their cell phones, returning texts or responding to posts on their social media accounts.
Many of the students in Jayson and Ayano's classes just brushed it off and assumed the two caught some kind of cold and forgot to report in sick. But Senpai, being born skeptical, wasn't one to just draw a conclusion like that. So after school, he paid a visit to the Aishi house only to find Ayano's mother on the phone, filing a missing person report!
In fact, she was just as oblivious to her daughter's location as everyone else. She seemed incredibly distraught to know that her child was missing, like any responsible and loving mother would act. It was her kid after all.
Jayson's step-family were also oblivious to his location as well. However, they didn't seem to take it as hard as the Aishi's did. In fact, they seemed rather apathetic and uncaring about the fact that a member of their family was missing. Senpai swore he could even see one of them smiling about it.
That disgusted him. Jayson may not be the most likable person in the world, but he was a part of their family. And when a family member is in danger, you have to find and protect them from that danger. But Jayson's step-family couldn't care less about whether he was safe or not. They were awful, disgusting people and Senpai was glad that he made that clear to them, outright saying it to their faces before he left their house.
He was very concerned and worried. What if the murderer had gotten them too? His two best friends... dead. Senpai didn't think he would be able to keep going after that, especially if Ayano wasn't going to be around anymore.
For the past few days, Senpai had been having strange thoughts about her. In conversations, he'd focus on every word she spoke, listening intensely. His eyes seemed to lock onto and focus on her more then usual, drawing much of his attention towards her. In fact, without her in the school, Senpai felt as if something was amiss. As if an important part of his life had just... vanished. He actually felt a little empty inside knowing that she wasn't around.
He didn't know that her presence had such a strong effect on him. Was he developing feelings for her? Maybe. He had to admit that he did like Ayano a lot.
When compared to the other girls of aka-demi, she would mostly be seen as bland. Nothing more then a background character. But Senpai felt as if this generalization was wrongfully given to her. Sure, appearance wise, she may be a little simple. But what was wrong with that? What's so wrong with being simple? Why is it bad to be average?
Besides, there was much more to Ayano then meets the eye. Looking past her appearance, you would find a very sweet, respectful and intelligent girl who seemed to have a heart made of pure gold. She was also very mature when compared to the other girls. Senpai liked that. Maturity was a major thing for him.
Think about it from his perspective. Do you really want a girl with the mentality of a child? Or do you want a girl with the mentality of a mature woman? To him, Ayano looked to be that mature woman. But it was a little too early to call. He honestly barely knew her. And... well he doesn't even know if she's dead or not.
"I just don't know what we're going to do" A male voice said, ruining Senpai's train of thought as he entered the living room to find both his mother and father sitting on the couch, signs of worry and frustration on their faces.
"We'll find a way. We always do" Senpai's mother said as she put a supporting hand on her husband's shoulder. "You're worrying too much. What's the worst that could happen?" She asked.
"You don't know what kind of a person he is. I wished I knew who he was before I did business with him"
"But if you didn't, our son would never have the amazing education he does now. That's why you did it, remember? You want Taro to succeed in life, don't you?"
"Mom? Dad? What's wrong?" Senpai asked as he walked into the living room after hearing that their conversation involved him.
"Nothing. Nothing is wrong" His father said sternly.
Akihiro! Don't lie to him!" His mother said, scolding his father for his dishonesty. "He's an adult now. He can handle the truth"
"What's going on? What truth?" Senpai asked.
"Sit down, Taro. We need to have a talk" His mother said as Senpai did so. His parents then went on to explain why they had moved to buraza in the first place, going back three years ago.
His parents wanted to send him to aka-demi academy to ensure that he had an advanced education and the chance to obtain a successful career in his future, something his parents were both denied in their younger years. However, there was one problem with this.
Aka-demi academy was one of Japan's most prestigious and expensive private schools, giving scholarships only to the gifted, and giving an insanely massive yearly tuition to everyone else. Sadly, Senpai wasn't gifted in any way and his parents were unable generate that large of an income to support his education. The school also didn't have any sort of financial aid program attached to it, leaving his parents to pay the tuition fee on their own.
They considered forgetting about the whole fancy private school thing and just enrolling Senpai in a public school. But he practically had his heart set out on going to aka-demi, so they had to find a way to make that happen.
His father eventually founds such a way. It wasn't the best way, but it was a way. He took out a loan for Senpai's first year. And during Senpai's second year, he took out another. And for Senpai's third year, he took out another once more. The debt of all these loans would take his family months if not years to pay back, due to how much money they took out annually, not to mention the insanely huge interest rates, further increasing their debt.
"So... what's the real problem?" Senpai asked.
"We've taken out so much. It's near impossible for us to pay back that debt. And... the man I borrowed it from... he doesn't like waiting" His father said. "He's threatened to get... violent if I don't pay him back soon"
"We've tried our hardest to pay the money back but... we just can't make it fast enough. Me and your father both work two jobs a day. Yet, it's still not enough" His mother said.
"What if I help?" Senpai asked. "I can get an after school job and..."
"We couldn't ask you to do that. It's our problem, not yours" His mother said, frowning on Senpai's idea. "Just... don't worry about it, okay? We'll be able to pay off the debt... somehow" She added nervously.
Senpai felt horrible at hearing this. It was his fault that his parents struggled as hard as they did. They put themselves in this situation just so Senpai could have an education and now his education has gone and put them in massive financial debt. It's his fault.
Even thought his parents said that he shouldn't worry, Senpai couldn't do anything but worry now. For all he knows, this loan shark guy they borrowed from is some crazy mafia boss who will hurt his family or throw his parents into an audit and take all they own, leaving them out on the streets!
Even though they say Senpai shouldn't help, that won't stop him from trying.
The time was 6:02 AM. Thursday.
Yan-chan smiled as she walked into the kitchen to find her mother near the stove, preparing breakfast.
Yan-chan only recently returned home yesterday night, very late in the evening due to how far the aokigahara forest was from the simple village of buraza. In fact, by the time she arrived home, it was so late that her parents were already knocked out and unable to unlock the front door for her, forcing her to climb into her room through the window. But after she returned home, one of the first things she did was fall into her nice, comfy bed and sleep the rest of the night through. It was the best sleep she ever had.
"Good morning, mother" She greeted cheerfully.
"My baby!" He mother shouted in surprise as she quickly grabbed Yan-chan and pulled her into a loving embrace. "My little girl! You're home! Where have you been, young lady!? Do you have any idea how worried I was for you?!" Her mother shouted as her grip tightened, squeezing her daughter to the point where she felt her bones bend.
"Mother... you're crushing me!" She said in reaction to her mother's display of affection.
"You had me worried sick! I practically had a heart attack!" Ryoba shouted before sighing and releasing Yan-chan from her embrace before gently moving one of her bangs out of her eye "At least you're home now. Sit down. I'll make you breakfast. Then you're going to tell me everything, understand?"
"Yes mother" Yan-chan said. "Oh, can I ask you something?"
"Yes, sweetie?"
"Do you know how to make pancakes?"
"Pancakes?" Ryoba asked in confusion, failing to understand why her daughter requested such an... American breakfast.
"Yes. And maybe with some strawberry syrup?"
"Well... I can try" Her mother said as she searched the cupboards for the necessary ingredients.
After making the food, she set it down on the dining room table and watched as Yan-chan ate. After her breakfast was finished, she proceeded to tell her mother what had happened during the two days she was missing, going into great detail about how she was captured and taken to the aokigahara forest. Even explaining things such as Jayson Stone's past as well as his relationship with one of Yan-chan's kidnappers in order to give better context to the explanation.
"Wow..." Her mother said in surprise. She had a look on her face that seemed... unreadable. Yan-chan couldn't tell if she was feeling any sort of complex emotion, making her assessment as to how her mother handled the information hard to determine. "That certainly sounds like quite the adventure"
"You're not angry, are you?" Yan-chan asked, feeling as if her recounting of the past events angered her parent to some extent.
"Angry? Why would I be angry? I'm just glad you're safe. Now, get moving or you'll be late for school"
"Yes mother" Yan-chan said as she grabbed her book bag and walked out the door, smiling when she saw Jayson Stone sitting on her porch, waiting for her so they may walk to school together, just like always.
"Morning, beautiful" He smiled, seeming to be in a very good mood today. Yan-chan was happy to see that. It showed her that Jayson wasn't fazed or damaged by the events of the past few days. In fact, it only seemed to make him stronger.
"Good morning, Jayson" She smiled at him.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
"Yes... actually, no. I need to get something!" Yan-chan said as she walked back into her house, soon exiting again with Jayson's crimson red sweater around her arm. "Here. You never took it back when you brought me home"
"My sweater? You washed it?" Jayson asked as he looked at the sweater, noticing that it was completely spotless. No dirt whatsoever. It even smelled fresher then before.
"Yeah well... It seemed wrong to give it back to you if it was dirty. So I threw it in the washing machine last night"
"Thanks" Jayson said in gratitude before draping the sweater over his shoulder as the two began their walk towards aka-demi academy. "Hey, what you said back there in the cabin, thanks again. You really helped me" Jayson said as they walked through the street, passing other students on their way to the school.
"I meant every word I said. You know that, right?" Yan-chan asked.
"Yeah. It's just... after what Katherine did to me, I felt so... worthless. I felt so weak. I literally lost the strength to keep going. To keep myself alive" He explained. "But then after you got rid of that bitch and told me that you trusted me more then you did with Senpai, you have no idea how amazing that made me feel. Katherine destroyed me, but you built me back up. So thanks"
"You're my friend, Jayson. I care about you. And I have to protect the people I care about" Yan-chan said as she looked directly into Jayson's eyes. "I won't let anyone hurt you like that ever again" She added.
"And I won't let anyone hurt you at all" Jayson said as he looked back at her.
"So... was that why you were putting the noose around your neck? Because of Katherine?" Yan-chan asked.
"That..." Jayson said as he rolled his eyes. "I didn't know I was putting a noose on myself. I thought I was talking to someone"
"Who?"
"My mother... or some figment of my imagination that looked like my mother" He said.
"What did she say?"
"She said she blamed herself for everything that happened to me. She said she knew a way to fix it but... I couldn't really understand. something about getting rid of my sins or something? I dunno. I don't really care either" Jayson said as the two continued walking.
"Do you think it was her spirit? The forest was rumored to be haunted. It makes sense that you'd see a ghost there" Yan-chan said.
"You don't believe in that junk, do you?" Jayson asked.
"What? Me?! No way! Well... it never hurts to be skeptical" Yan-chan said as she saw the image of Oka Ruto's corpse flash into her mind.
"Murderer... Confess... Repent... Filthy murderer... Take responsibility for your vile actions..."
"Never!" Yan-chan shouted as she looked forward, staring at a blank space in front of her as if an actual person was there.
"Um... you okay?" Jayson asked as he heard her shout. He noticed that her breathing seemed to be a lot heavier and she even shivered a little bit, even though it was nice and warm today.
"I... Yes. I'm fine" She reassured. "It's just... voices" She said nervously.
"Okay then..." Jayson said. "Anyways, it wasn't a ghost. I think it was just my mind playing a cruel trick on me. I'm still gonna burn down that forest though" He added, reassuring that he'd keep his promise to destroy that horrible place.
"Hey guys!" Senpai shouted from the distance as he approached the two. "There you both are! Where were you guys?" He asked.
"Um... sick!" Jayson and Yan-chan said at the same time, trying to hide the fact that they were taken away so as not to worry Senpai.
"Oh, well I'm glad you got better! I was really worried about you guys. Especially you, Ayano-chan" Senpai smiled.
"You were worried about me?" Ayano asked in surprise, a small feeling of happiness overwhelming her as a bright and cheerful smile found it's way onto her face. He worried about her. He cares! He actually cares about her well being! Throughout the entire walk, Yan-chan couldn't help but feel as if her relationship with Senpai was improving greatly. He's almost in her clutches now. Just gotta be a little more patient.
Then he'll belong to her forever.
The time was 7:51 AM.
"And then he asked if I wanted to chill with him! Can you believe it?! What a pig!" Ranted a girl with incredibly tanned skin and long platinum blond hair as she and her friends stood behind the school building, smoking cigarettes.
"So... what? He just wanted to hang out with you?" Asked another girl.
"Lol! I wish! No. He asked me to chill! You know, the other way of saying Let's have really hot and aggressive sex!"
"No way! Did you do it!?"
"Fuck no! I didn't do it! I said What do you take me for? Chinese takeout!? And bitch-smacked him so hard he started crying!" The girls laughed.
"OMG! You're so bad, Musume-chan!"
Senpai rolled his eyes as he saw the group of girls standing behind the school, breaking the rules by smoking on the premises. A rule that both students and teachers had to obey. But anyways, Senpai came here because he was certain that one of these girls could help him wipe away the debt that plagued his parents. And that girl was named Musume Ronshaku.
She was the one with tanned skin and bleached hair, an obvious follower of an old fashion trend called ganguro. Born from the minds of rebellious youths, the ganguro style was essentially a spit in the face to the traditional Japanese beauty standards such as pale skin, dark hair and neutral makeup tones. These girls who followed this trend rebelled tradition by getting their skin incredibly tanned, either naturally or artificially. As well as bleaching their hair either milk white or platinum blond.
But Senpai wasn't here to focus on an old fashion trend that honestly didn't look appealing to him. He came here because he knew Musume Ronshaku's father owned Ronshaku loans, the loaning company that Senpai's family was indebted to. He also knew that Musume was a complete daddy's girl, spoiled rotten by the loving bond between father and daughter.
"Excuse me, are you Ronshaku-san?" Senpai asked as he approached the group of girls.
"Yeah! Who want's to know?" Musume asked.
"I'm Yamada-san and..."
"Wait! Yamada? As in Taro Yamada?"
"You know me?" Senpai asked.
"Of course I know you! Everyone knows you, Senpai! You're like, the most hottest guy in the school!" Musume said. Should Senpai take that as a complement?
"Right... anyways, I was wondering if you could help me out"
"Let me guess. Your family or the family of someone you know is in major debt to my father's loan company, right? I'm gonna tell you what I tell everyone else. Pay up or get beaten up! I can't just wave a magic wand and make the debt disappear!"
"I know that. I was just asking if you could get your father to be more... lenient. My parents are hard working people! They'll get your father what he wants! They just need time!" Senpai said, causing the two girls who were in Musume's group to feel sympathy for him.
"Aww, poor guy!"
"C'mon Musume! Stop being a bitch and help him!"
"I'm not being a bitch!" Musume shouted rather bitchily. "Fine! I may be able to convince my father to back off, but on one condition" She said.
"Okay... what's the condition?" Senpai asked.
"You have to take your shirt off and dance real sexy for us!" One of the girls shouted.
"No!" Musume said. "I want you to do something special for me" She grinned.
"Like what?" Senpai asked.
"Like whatever I say! You're gonna be my servant for a few days!"
"Wait... what?!" Senpai asked in shock.
"That's right! I tell you to jump and you're gonna ask me how high I want you to jump! You'll do what I want, whenever I want with no questions, comments or concerns!" She smiled.
"You know what, maybe we should just forget about it" Senpai said as he began to walk away.
"Hold it, bitch!" musume shouted, stopping Senpai dead in his tracks. "You think you can just back out now? Sure! But if you do, I'll just tell my daddy how rude you were to me and he'll have the debt increased! By the time you pay it all back, your family will be on the street with not even the clothes on your backs!"
"No! I'll... I'll do it" Senpai said in shame.
"Good boy! Now as my servant, you have to do exactly as I say! Get on your knees, servant!" She commanded as Senpai did so, having no choice but to obey this spoiled brat of a girl as she laughed at him. He hated having to do this, but now that this girl is made aware of his predicament, he has no choice unless he wanted his family to live in poverty after paying off their debt.
"You can't just humiliate and demean me like this!" Senpai protested as the girls laughed at him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you wanted your family's debt gone, not increased! Don't worry though, it'll only take a few weeks to convince daddy to ease off... maybe a month if he's really busy" Musume grinned as she looked down upon the kneeling boy.
"She... will... suffer!" Yan-chan said in anger as she watched the whole thing unfold from behind a dumpster. That pathetic ganguro bitch! Think you can just hold Senpai captive and dangle an unpayable debt over his head?! Well think again!
Not only was Yan-chan going to free Senpai from this evil girl, she was also going to make it her mission to clear this debt away from his family so he can live worry free! How she'd do it, she didn't know. But maybe a little... American influence would be helpful.
The time was 12:06 PM.
Info-chan sighed in annoyance as she typed rapidly on her keyboard, trying to get her work done as quickly as possible before the lunch hour was over.
The past two days had been hell for her. Multiple suppliers have begun rebelling against her in an attempt to expose her to the school and reveal her identity. Normally, she'd send Jayson to remind them of their place, but he wasn't here yesterday or the day before! Giving Info-chan no choice but to pay the delinquents to do his job while he was off who-knows-where.
This action did nothing to quell the small rebellion of enraged suppliers. in fact, it only seemed to strengthen their resolve. That was because the delinquents didn't do as told. They'd just beat the target and say that Info-chan had sent them.
If Jayson was dealing with this, he'd not only use violence but also diplomacy, intimidation, blackmail, discrimination and many other vile yet effective tactics. Say what you want about the American boy, but he knows how to put people under his thumb. He knows how to manipulate. It was one of the reasons Info-chan respected him in a small way. He's effective and knows just what to do to make you fall in line and do as you're told.
"Hey, partner!" Speak of the devil...
"Where the hell have you been?" Info-chan asked as she turned away from her computer to glare at Jayson Stone as he stood in the doorway, letting all the light into the dark room.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"I needed you to deal with four of the suppliers yesterday and you were nowhere to be found! I needed your help and you just disappeared!"
"Oh... Sorry. I had a busy few days. It's complicated" Jayson said as he scratched the back of his head nervously. "Anyways, I'm here now. So you want me to go beat up those suppliers today?"
"Yes, actually. Then we need to deal with another five later. I also need more panty shots for next week" Info-chan said.
"Busy day today" Jayson stated.
"Then I suggest you get to work as fast as possible, partner" Info-chan glared.
"As you command, my mistress" He said sarcastically, causing Info-chan to roll her eyes as he left the room, leaving her alone once more so she may return to her work.
Jayson then walked into the hallways so he may return to the cafeteria to enjoy the rest of lunch hour before returning to class, then he'd take care of business.
"Senpai! You lazy idiot! You dropped all my books!" A girl shouted as Jayson looked down the hall to see Senpai bend down and attempt to pick up a vast amount of hardcover books. Not the average number a normal student would take to a single class. It was lunch time anyways, so why was Senpai carrying books?
"Aren't you going to help?" Senpai asked as he picked up the books one by one as a very tanned girl looked down on him.
This was Musume Ronshaku. One of the most annoying girls in the school, in Jayson's opinion. Why? Watch. Just read about what's going to happen as Jayson walks past her.
"OMG! Hey there, cutie! How you doin' today!?" She shouted as Jayson walked past. He groaned in annoyance as he rolled his eyes and just continued walking, not even bothering to look at her.
This had been going on ever since his second year. This ganguro bitch comes up and shouts at him to pay attention to her, thinking she's worthy of his time. She wasn't. In fact, she wasn't even worth the effort of killing. Jayson saw her as so pathetic, that he wouldn't even bother with taking her life. Let someone else do that.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" Musume said as she stood in front of Jayson, blocking his path. "A cute girl talks to you and you ignore her? What are you? Gay?"
"I am of the heterosexual variety, I will have you know" Jayson said. "And what are you talking about? I don't see any cute girls around" He added as he glared daggers into Musume's eyes.
"Of course there's a cute girl here! I'm right in front of you!" She said in a gloating tone.
"Sorry, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my eye is not beholden to you. Now move" He growled.
"Well... Maybe you would like to hang out sometime and just... chill?"
"Chill?" Jayson asked as he laughed cruelly. "What do you take me for? Chinese takeout!? Is this your attempts at flirting with me? It's pathetic. Now move before I make you move" He growled before pushing Musume out of the way, causing her to fall onto the wall as Jayson walked away.
He sighed as soon as he passed by a storage closet.
"Alright, come on out, beautiful. I know you're in there" He said as Yan-chan slowly opened the door, exiting from her hiding place.
"Interesting. I think she likes you, Jayson" She smiled wickedly as her mind concocted a devious and sinister plan. "How would you like to become bait for a trap?" She asked.
"Why? You want that ganguro bitch dead?" Jayson asked.
"Yes. She's holding Senpai hostage with financial debt and making him serve on her. I want to wipe away that debt and get rid of this pathetic bitch!"
"How are we going to do that?" Jayson asked.
"Listen closely now" Yan-chan said as she began whispering her plan in Jayson's ear.
The time was 3:05 PM.
"And make sure you do both my math homework and my history paper as well as the two thousand word essay!"
"But by the time I'm done, I'll never be able to finish my homework!" Senpai protested as Musume threw her homework folder onto him, making him do it for her.
"Well then you're just going to have to stay up all night doing both my and your homework!" She said.
"But then I'll be dead tired during classes tomorrow!"
"Ooh. I guess it just sucks to be you! Remember that I can make my daddy bury your family if you don't do as I say!" She threatened.
Senpai sighed as he was forced to accept these terms. He actually wished he never came to Musume for help at all. She was defiantly doing much more harm then good, causing Senpai to regret even talking to her.
He could understand why Jayson was so cruel to her before. Senpai would do the same. She's such a pampered and spoiled brat! No wonder her only friends are two other spoiled brats. Most of the other students would rather die then be friends with this bitch!
The things she made Senpai do during the school day were nothing short of humiliating. During lunch period, she made him give her a foot massage in front of everyone! Made him hand feed her! Made him carry tons of heavy books throughout the multiple classes, not only damaging his back but also making him late for his own classes! She even talked about taking him to her house and making him cook dinner for her!
But like it or not, Senpai had to do as told. He had no choice now. It was either this or making the debt to his family even worst. His parents were right when they said he shouldn't have gotten involved. If only he could go back into the past and warn himself. Then maybe today wouldn't have been so embarrassing.
"Excuse me, Musume? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Jayson Stone asked as he approached Musume and Senpai from behind.
"Oh, Hey Jayson" Senpai greeted. Jayson ignored him.
"Whatcha want, cutie?" Musume asked as she played with her hair, attempting to look cute. She didn't want to admit it, but she thought the American was pretty cute. and those muscles! someone get a bucket of water because this guy's so hot he's setting himself on fire!
"I wanted to say that I was wrong for treating you the way I did and I was hoping you and I could talk somewhere more... private... you know, chill?" Jayson grinned.
"Ohh. Okay then" Musume agreed, liking where this was going. "Senpai, you go home and start my homework early" She said as she shooed Senpai away, allowing him to walk home as he rolled his eyes.
"Now then, Let's go to a more... private place. We can chill there!" She giggled as she locked arms with Jayson. He then took her into one of the storage closets near the entrance of the school.
"Um... this is where you wanna chill? Seems a little... cramped" Musume said as she looked around the dusty closet.
"I prefer the term... intimate" Jayson grinned as he got incredibly close to her, his body against hers as he looked into her eyes.
"Well, alright then" Musume grinned as well. "Let's get started" She said as she slowly lifted the top of her uniform, the bottom of her breasts just barely visible.
Jayson's grin grew wider. "Now!" He shouted as Yan-chan sprang up from her hiding place behind a stack of boxes and covered Musume's head in a sack. She struggled in surprise as she felt the sack cover her head, preventing her from seeing as Jayson grab her by the shoulders and threw her to the ground. He then stomped hard onto the side of her face, knocking her unconscious.
The time was 12:03 AM. Friday.
"Now listen good. I've told you time and time again! You don't get me my money and you don't get to use your legs anymore! Get it? Good!" A rather rotund man shouted as he dealt with on of his clients over the phone.
This was none other than Mr. Ronshaku, owner and founder of Ronskaku loans.
"You got two days before me and my boys pay a visit to you, your wife and those pretty kids you got. Have the money before we get there. I'd hate for any of your family to be traumatized by our visit" He said before hanging up. He then relaxed as he sat at his desk in the office room of his home.
Work had been pretty stressful on the old loan shark today, due to the rebellious actions of his clients. No matter. His men did a great job at... reminding them why it was best to pay back their dues. Sure, his clients may not be able to use their left hands for awhile, but at least they got the message.
Honestly, Ronshaku would have quit the business a long time ago were it not for his daughter. The only reason he still did this loan shark bullshit was so he could have more then enough money to provide for his child should she wish to someday go to collage. He didn't want her doing this loaning and extortion crap. He would be much more happier if she did cleaner, safer work. Hell, he preferred she didn't work at all. Speaking of which, where is his little princess?
A look of intrigue came to his face when he heard his computer announce that he had received an email. Checking his inbox, he saw that someone had sent him a message with a video attached. The message simply said Watch the video.
So that's what he did.
He gasped in shock at what he saw. It was Musume! His daughter! She was tied to a chair in some dark basement with a sack to her head! It was obvious that some sick freak had taken her and is asking for a ransom.
A man wearing all black then walked up to Musume and looked directly at the camera filming everything, His face hidden beneath the dark hood of his black sweater.
"Greetings, Mr Ronshaku" He spoke, his voice was unnaturally low in pitch, indicating that the video was edited to disguise his voice. "You don't know me. But I know you. Let me get straight down to business... I have your daughter. If you ever want to see her again, you will wipe away the debt of every client of Ronshaku loans"
"What?! That will kill my buisness!" Ronshaku shouted to the monitor.
"You may be saying that this will kill your business, and you aren't wrong. But what's more important? Your business? Or your daughter?" The kidnapper asked. "For every hour the debt remains, I will remove one of her fingers. Then I'll move onto her toes. Then her ears, her nose, her tongue and then both of her eyes. Then I'll kill her, chop her into tiny pieces and send them to your front door unless you wipe the debt away now! And don't think about double crossing me. I'm watching you right now. I'll know if you try to trick me. I'll know if you call the police. Let me show you what will happen if you do" The man said as he took out a knife and stabbed Musume in the arm, causing her to scream in pain as the kidnapper dug it into her flesh.
"Oh my god" Mr. Ronshaku said in horror as he listened to his daughter's screams.
"Now Musume, is there anything you'd like to say to your dear daddy?" The kidnapper asked as he removed the sack covering Musume's head, revealing her terrified face.
"Daddy... I'm really scared... Please help" She said as tears fell from her eyes.
"Please help? Are you requesting help?" The kidnapper asked. "You don't request help. You cry for it. So if you're going to do something, you're going to do it right. Cry for help" The kidnapper demeaned.
"...help..."
"Oh, pathetic. Louder!"
"help"
"Like you mean it, girl!"
"help!"
"HELP! FROM YOU'RE FUCKING DIAPHRAGM! HELP! H-E-L-P! HELP!"
"HELP! PLEASE HELP ME!" Musume screamed as loud as possible as a waterfall of tears ran down her face.
"Shh! Now we listen... You hear that? Nothing. Your cries have gone unheard. No one's coming for you, little girl. You'll just have to stay here with me for the rest of your life. Doesn't that sound fun?" The kidnapper asked as he watched Musume cry in sadness. He then turned to the camera. "You have twenty six hours, Mr. Ronshaku. I trust you'll make the right choice" He said as the video ended, leaving Ronshaku paralyzed in fear.
The time was 2:04 AM.
"Dear god, you are heavy! What have you been eating?!" Jayson Stone asked as he dragged the heavy cello case that held the body through the streets of downtown buraza on his way to Ronshaku loans.
Old man paid his ransom. The debts of all clients had been wiped clean. Now it was time to give the old bastard what he deserved.
Jayson sighed in exhaustion once he finally reached the Ronshaku loans building and placed the cello case by the locked doors. He then went to hide in an alleyway nearby as he waited for Ronshaku to come and retrieve his daughter.
He had to admit that the old man was clever. Putting a high interest loan business near a school with incredibly high tuitions? Freaking genius.
He got quiet once he saw the fat bastard walk up to the building, noticing the cello case and examining it closely. He came alone, just as he was told to do. Dumb retard.
"What the?!" Ronshaku paniced as he opened it and saw what was inside.
"Surprise!" Yan-chan shouted as she fell out of the cello case and used her knife to stab Ronshaku in the neck as she broke out into a fit of deranged laughter, the knife going in and out of Ronshaku's neck multiple times as the volume of Yan-chan's laugh increased.
Jayson thought it was the sweetest song he'd ever heard.
After the old man was dead, Yan-chan took the keys to his business off of his body and unlocked the door, dragging the corpse inside the building before setting the place on fire, making it look like Ronshaku had burned down his own company.
Musume Ronshaku was killed after Jayson and Yan-chan recorded the ransom video. The body was thrown in the old lake outside of town.
Tomorrow morning, Senpai and his family would rejoice after hearing that the business was destroyed and their debt was wiped clean. Yan-chan couldn't wait to see the look of happiness on his face.
Otakuficwriter: Yeah, I watch Akidearest from time to time. Didn't know she made a video about aokigahara though. That would have been helpful.
Guest reviewer: Maybe it was his mother's spirit. Maybe it was just Jayson's own head playing tricks on him. You decide.
