Chapter 9

When she got to her room she opened the door to see a terrified Ritsu sitting at her desk. She walked in further to see Ryu sitting on her bed looking as if he were the devil himself.

"What is going on? Ryu why are you here? Ritsu are yo…?"

Ryu was up and in Miyu's face before she could even finish her sentence. He had grabbed her throat effectively cutting off her air supply. Miyu finally understood why Ritsu had been so frightened. Ryu had probably roughed her up to find out where Miyu was.

"Ryu, you need to calm down and tell me what's going on? Why are you here and why are you so angry?" Miyu could feel an odd sort of strength pumping through her veins.

Her mind was screaming to her body to toss him across the room like a rag doll. Another part of her was telling her to bite the son of a bitch and silence him forever.

"You have been missing a lot lately and have been spending a lot of time with Tokedo. You slut, are making me look bad. Tomioko knows that you're my girlfriend and he knows what you have been doing. He thinks you're sharing information and he said to either bring you over to work for him or…"

"Or what? Oh my god. Are you going to kill me if I refuse? Ryu this isn't like you. You and I have had our differences but your acting insane. I tried to work for Tomioko do you remember. They hated all of my ideas and told me to never come back. If they mean so much to you then were over. Go be with them but I won't." She was angry and scared.

She had never seen him like this and right now he seemed capable of anything. He very well could kill her like he hinted at.

"When you went there before you went as a student. You didn't have the skill. Now you're a liability to the company. I can't jeopardize my job for you but with you out of the way I can advance to something even greater. If your not going to do as I ask and to join me then I am sorry."

He pulled a gun from his jacket and stuck it in her face. Ritsu became hysterical and started to scream and cry.

"Please don't do this in front of Ritsu. If you have any love left for me at all please do this somewhere else. I don't want her to see me die like this."

Ryu understood and decided to do as she asked. Maybe it was best that she not directly witness this. Not having a direct witness would make it easier for him in the long run.

He removed the gun from Miyu's face and lowered it to her back.

"I agree to with you, but you must leave now without any noise or hesitation or I will shoot her too." He stabbed the gun into her back ushering her toward the door.

Miyu walked a head of him and when she got to the hallway she looked over her shoulder. Ritsu was kneeling on the floor crying silently for what she knew was going to happen.

"Call Lava, he'll save me! He'll find me!" Miyu screamed when she was far enough from the room so Ryu couldn't go back for Ritsu but close enough so she could hear above her own tears.

"You Bitch!" Saying Lava's name had sent Ryu over the edge and he pistol-whipped Miyu.

Her lifeless body slumped to the floor. Ryu picked her up and stuffed her in his car. Apparently she had a big mouth so he was going to have to silence her. The slut was no use to him anymore.
