Chapter 20: The great Weakness of Park Yun Lee
On the morning that it happen Yuni was facing the very peek of her anger and terror.
All Kyona and Nao could do was watch with weary eyes when it started by the lockers. Though Yuni had her back to them they could only guess the terror that was painted on her face. The lockers, not just hers but everyone's, were cover with note after note after note all taunting Yuni with the same messages and testing her very sanity.
'Love me Yun Lee'
'Accept my love my queen'
'I will love you forever Yun Lee'
'Accept me Yun Lee'
'Yun Lee is my queen'
'Long life to my queen'
"Yuni…" Kyona muttered softly watching the girl tremble in her place, there were just so many notes! She couldn't even find the door of her locker! Her fingers trembled and the very sight before her made her sick to her stomach. The organ lurched and almost instantly Yuni covered her mouth with one hand to keep any sort of bile from rising to her mouth and out onto the floor and pressed the other against her stomach, her body jerked forward with the hurling sensation.
"Y-Yuni!" Nao yelped hurrying to the girl's side as she dropped to her knees keeping a firm grip over her mouth and shut her eyes tight. No, this couldn't be happening! This just couldn't be happening! Her stomach heaved against her again but still she tried her best to fight it back hand latched to her mouth and watery eyes glued shut. Behind her closed eyes memories played in flashes.
That hand reaching out brushing her hair out of her face before rubbing its thumb against her cheek. "Yea, I'm sure of it" the person spoke "You definitely have the face of a noble queen" that trusting smile that he always gave her.
The whispers of other students when he spoke to her outside of class: "Did you hear that, he calls her queenie. He's been calling her that for a while now right? That's kind of strange don't you think?"
The muttering of her other classmates as she slid the door open to the classroom only to find her desk littered with lavenders and other purple flowers for the third time this week.
No, NO! This would not happen! She wouldn't let it! Opening her tearing eyes Yuni sent the note littered locker a fiery glare and with an uncharacteristic, animalistic scream Nao stumbled away from her and she lunged at the metallic box and began clawing at the paper wildly.
"Yuni!" Kyona yelped running forwards with eyes as wide as Yuni's crazy eyes. The Korean yanked and pulled and clawed until her nails began to chip and break from being slammed so hard against the metal but still she didn't stop. She wouldn't be a victim, not again, not EVER! She kept tearing and tearing even as Kyona yelled for her to stop she ignored her friend until the girl gripped her wrist and yanked her hands behind her back. A crowd began gathering as Yuni hollered in protest pulling against her friend as hard as she could. She wanted them gone! She would rip them all to shreds and she'd shove them so far up her admirers-
"Let me go!" Yuni shrieked raising a leg to kick the lockers as hard as she could, the metal shuddered under the force. It took her a few shakes but she got herself free from Kyona and pushed the girl away from her. Kyona didn't try to stop her this time as she charges the lockers and began ripping and tearing again until she could find her locker door. She would deal with the notes later, now she had something even worse to deal with and that was evident when flower peddles burst forth from her locker door along with yet another note. Yuni snatched it up from the ground and looked it over, she read what it said and crumbled it up and chucked it to the ground before storming off.
"Y-Yuni!" Nao whimpered scrambling to her feet "Yuni wait!" the girl ran after her friend leaving Kyona to pick up the crumbled paper and read it for herself.
'Follow the flower pedals'
"Flower pedals?" what did that mea-…Kyona glanced down at the floor "…oh" she muttered when she saw the violet pedals that left a trail along the floor in the direction Yuni had stormed off to. This…this couldn't be good…
Yuni threw the classroom door open with a loud slam still following the flower trail that lead right to her desk and a scene she didn't want to see. There were already girls crowding about her desk gazing curiously at what rest atop it. A slender glass vase filled with beautiful orchids and her gym cloths folded neatly beside them with yet another note! These notes! Yuni was tired of them!
"Yuni-chan" one of the girl turned to her and smiled oblivious to just how crazed Yuni's expression was. The other girls noticed though and when they saw the look they collectively frowned muttering softly to one another as Yuni slowly made her way to her desk "Look! Your secret admirer was here again!" the girl speaking pointed watching with excited eye for the girl's reaction to what she considered romantic. Yuni took one look at the note and the vase before screams of surprise and terror filled the room as the glass item became air born quickly smashing to the ground and shattering loudly.
"Yuni" Kyona and Nao appeared in the doorway as Yuni began reaching a staggering peek to her anger. She threw the note away not even bothering to read it and chucked her gym clothes with them. It wasn't until the girl gripped the edges of her desk and tried to yank the object up that Kyona sprung into action again running to the girl and pressing down on the desk keeping it in place despite Yuni's attempts to yank it up and throw it. "Yuni calm down!"
"No!" Yuni shrieked still trying to lift her desk "I can't calm down! I won't! This can't happen! It can't!" Yuni caved sinking to her knees with a shudder, Kyona gazed down at her sullenly, and all knowingly "It can't happen again! It shouldn't!" Yuni exclaimed, she raised her head to look at Kyona desperately "He's gone right? He's gone and he isn't coming back?"
"Yuni..." Kyona sighed
"That's what they said" Yuni spoke up "That's what the officers said, Nana what should I do?"
What should she do? Kyona glanced around them at the many girls staring and sighed yet again. She offered her friend a hand, she took it without much thought allowing Kyona to pull her to her feet. Poor Yuni, she was in no shape to put up with being in school anyone could see that.
"Let's start with getting you home" Kyona finally answered the girl wrapping an arm around Yuni's shoulder and ushering her out of the room without any form of protest "you need some well deserved rest"
"...Okay" Yuni nodded submissively
"Nao-chan" Kyona addressed her as the two of them past her "tell the teacher Yuni wasn't feeling well so I walked her home"
"Alright" Nao nodded sending Yuni a sympathetic gaze but Yuni looked away from it. She hated being offered that kind of sympathy especially by someone who didn't understand the situation.
The pair moved from the second floor of the school to the first floor and after Kyona was able to clear out most of the notes stuck to the lockers the friends made their way to the gates of the school.
It was while they were a few feet away from the gate that it happen.
Both girls had been so absorbed in their thoughts that neither noticed as a gang of guys slowly but surely surrounding them until one of them blocked their path. Yuni eyed them wearily, even she knew that something wasn't right. These guys, though they dressed differently, all had something yellow on their person whether it be their shirt, a hat or a bandana around their necks. It was like a uniform, this was a gang.
"You" spoke the lone one blocking the girl's path. He nodded his head to the two of them "One of you Park Yun Lee?"
"What's it to you?" Kyona hissed pulling Yuni towards her defensively trying to keep her guarded from all around. Her actions and words only earned her chuckles from the surrounding men, Kyona scowled.
"Well you see" the leader chuckled on digging his hands into his pockets "we've been given strict orders to...'escort' a Park Yun Lee somewhere" as he explained this he began circling them like a wolf on its prey.
"To where?" Kyona snarled out still keeping a shaking Yuni close, with every step he took she moved Yuni in the opposite direction until they circled one another. Kyona looked around them, they were completely outnumbered and with Kyona being the only one with some fighting skills there was no way they could make it out of here.
"You're Park Yun Lee I assume?"
"Shove it" Kyona growled pulling Yuni even closer earning even more chuckles despite the harsh glare she was sending all of them.
"That's not her" one of the guys muttered, all heads turned to him and Kyona's eyes grew wide. What was that he was holding? Both teens tensed up as he approached them holding something up as if comparing, he looked between Kyona and Yuni before nodding his head in Yuni's direction "it's this pretty little flower here"
"Get her" that was all it took for the rest of them to charge the two girls and drag them apart before they could even scream in protest. Kyona, being much stronger than they expected, easily shook her captures off. She slugged one in the gut when he attempted to grab her and made a dash for Yuni who was being dragged away.
"Nana!" the poor girl yelled trying to pull her arms free but the thug with his arms strongly wound about her kept hers at her sides. He dragged her kicking and screaming to their boss who grunted in annoyance at her frantic act. He stood before her and motioned for one of his guys to hurry up, Yuni followed his glares and went wide eyed at what she saw: a brown bottle pouring clear liquid into the airbag of a breathing mask, she had a feeling that was for her. Yuni screamed even louder than before kicking her legs furiously as she did.
"Sorry, pretty, really this is nothing personal" the leader remarked to her when the task was complete and the mask was being handed off to him "But this was asked of me so I gotta do it. If I wasn't already taken I'd snatch you up in a second and show you a real good time" oh how Yuni fixed him with a disgusted glare, he smirked at her gripping the back her head with his free hand and pressing the mask against her face with the other "Now I need you to take a nap for a little while" a nap? Yuni's eyes grew in size as a sudden heaviness washed over her with no warning. Chloroform. She couldn't fight it, she realized what the gas was too late and not long after the mask was in its place did the girl's eyes roll into her head and she fell into darkness going utterly limp.
"Yuni!" Kyona screeched from where she now found herself pinned to the concrete. Yuni was unresponsive, her head lulled back and she offered no resistance when the leader took her from his friend and scoop her up into his arms. Kyona tried to get up but screamed in absolute agony when a knee rammed itself full force into her back.
"We've got what we came here for" the guy remarked calmly "Let's go"
"What about her?" Kyona winced as the jerk with his knee so harshly dug into her back gripped her hair and yanked her head so it was raised. With her head now off the concrete, Kyona had room to spit out blood from her mouth. The leader looked her over and then shrugged.
"You did a good job" he told them turning away "do what you want with her, just make it quick"
What?
Oh the sickening grins sent her way when they were given the okay. Kyona snarled in response to the looks, she dared them to even think about it! Their boss smirked at them before casting a dark gaze to Yuni unconscious in his arms.
"The warehouse by the harbor, remember to be there by nine o'clock" he told them turning away slowly "we'll need some extra muscle in case this whole plan goes to hell"
"Right!" and that was the last Kyona saw of Yuni. She was yanked off the ground by her blazer and dragged to the nearest tunnel under the unlucky choice of her attackers. Kyona made short work of them and took off as fast as she could possibly go to Akadou for help.
On the morning that it happen Yamato had arrived to class utterly frustrated with how things had gone the day before. Yuni's sudden mood swings and change in attitude dampened the evening especially after she took her brother and left for home almost as soon as she came out of the shop. No one wanted to hang out after that and so everyone went their own ways. Ren, Nana, and Jun were going the same way as Yamato was so he decided to complain to them about Yuni's bitchy behavior.
Yamato zoned out of the classroom and tracked back to last night and the conversation he had with Jun, Nana and Ren.
"I'm not saying what she did was right" Ren remarked in response to Yamato constantly calling Yuni a brat and a bitch and all other insults in between "I just mean she probably had a good reason for being upset, that's all"
"That wasn't upset" Jun commented shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked "that is a little something I'd like to call PMS"
"Then that Hisa chick must be PMSing too because they're both a couple of brats" Yamato grumbled, his night was ruined because of that damn girl so he had a right to be moody about it.
"Hasn't Hisa been the one bullying Yuni-chan?" Ren asked still trying his best to keep Jun and Yamato from forming a negative opinion of the girl. Ren glanced down at his girlfriend walking beside him quietly for once "Didn't you say that Hisa has been harassing Yuni-chan for about a month now, Nana?"
"...it's...it's...you guys don't understand" Nana sighed out, the three boys turned to face her as she suddenly stopped walking. A sullen look came to usually cheerful girls face and she sighed again "Yuni wasn't acting that way because of Maiyuri"
"She wasn't?" Jun arched a brow "that's what it looked like to me"
"It has nothing to do with Maiyuri" Nana shook her head, one could tell by the look in her eyes that she was conflicted in whether she should speak on or not but the former quickly won "The thing is...back when Yuni first started school here during her first year at Aoikin Yuni she...she was...Yuni had a stalker" Yamato frowned slightly at this, she had a stalker once? Well he could see why, she may be a bitch sometimes but she was still pretty, but that still didn't explain why she was acting like such a brat before.
"She was stalked?" Jun repeated in disbelief, his sister nodded her head.
"We didn't know who it was, they would send her expensive jewelries and perfumes and leave her notes in her desk and notebooks all in her favorite color purple" Nana explained on hinting to that Teddy bear Yuni had wanted to get rid of so badly "It started small like that but then...I don't know the guy somehow concluded in his head that he and Yuni were a very intimate couple. Sometimes Yuni's gym clothes would go missing and then appear later with notes saying she'd left them at his house and he had washed them for her. He'd break into school at night and fill her desk with lavenders, he even went so far as to mail pictures he had taken of her saying he wanted to show her the beauty he saw from her. He liked to call her Queenie as a pet name"
"That bear she had today" Yamato spoke up curiously "Did this same guy get that for her?"
"We don't know" Nana shook her head "But when this first happen it put Yuni in really bad shape" the red hued girl frowned even deeper than before when she said this "she lost a lot of weight and stopped eating. When she did eat she often couldn't hold it down. Having someone doing this to her again really upsets her" ah so she wasn't being that way because of Maiyuri Hisa, she had just been that way before hand and Maiyuri and her family shop was just an outlet for her frustration. The three boys exchanged looks while Nana's gazed fell to her shoes and she shook slightly "It can't be the same guy, he was taken away. It shouldn't be him but it's just like him...and...and that's what scares Yuni" Yamato tried not to show his concern when Nana looked his way "if this guy is like the first one...I-if he is the first one then Yuni could be I danger, he could hurt her and that's what scares her. She can't even.." Nana paused again biting down on her lip "...being out when it's dark like this..." that comment struck a chord with Yamato
"That's why?" he spoke up stopping Nana from speaking on "that's why she doesn't go out after its dark on her own?" because she was traumatized by a stalker. It made sense and Nana's lack of a response only seemed to verify his guess.
So Yuni was the victim of not an admirer but a stalker and her second one at that. If that didn't force the Akadou boy to have at least some concern for the bitchy girl having Nana sudden burst into the classroom the next day and announce that the very same girl had been kidnapped definitely did.
After her dramatic entrance Kango-shi was beckoned from the faculty room and began tending to the injured girl. She tried not to flinch under the rubbing alcohol pressed against her open wounds and the nurse tried her best to be gentle when she tended to her. Yamato, like the rest of 3D, sat about the two of them with tense faces. Nana had told them the story, Yuni was somewhere out there unconscious having god knows what done to her possibly being violated by god knows who!
"Who do you think it was?" Kura spoke up watching Kango-shi at work "That secret admirer of hers?"
"Nana-chan" Ren took a seat beside the girl "Do you remember what they looked like? The guys who took Yuni I mean" Kango-shi lowered the cotton ball in her hand allowing Nana to sit back just a bit. Those brown eyes of hers became downcast, like often did when Nana was recalling something, and she assaulted her bottom lip with her teeth.
"They all wore yellow" she stated at first ridges forming on her brow as her eyebrows furrowed. "There were so many of them, it all happen so fast I didn't really have enough time to take in too many details" the observation easily devastated Nana, her eyes glistened with newly forming tears that quickly threatened to fall. "I'm sorry" Yankumi, who'd sat this whole time beside Kango-shi with a stone face, shook her head.
"It's alright Taguchi-chan" she assured the young girl "that's good, at least we know that it was a group that took her and it's easier to spot a group compared to individuals" the math teacher gently patted Nana's shoulder "is there anything else you remember? A meeting spot perhaps, did they mention where to meet up after they..." the woman didn't dare allow herself to think of what those bastards planned to do to this young girl let alone speak it.
"A warehouse" Nana answered "by a harbor, he said to be at a warehouse by a harbor by nine for some sort of trade off"
"This sounds like some crazy, western, action movie with kidnappers a ransom" Kami muttered out and as true as his comment was, for it did sound like the only reason for Yuni's kidnapping was to trade her for something else, it was hardly appropriate and it made Nana blanch just to think about. Yamato elbowed his comrade swiftly sending him a glare when they made eye contact.
"Either way" it was Ichi who spoke this time "we're wasting time just sitting around like this"
"You're right" Ren jumped up to his feet anger etched into his face as he spoke with a growl "what are we just standing here for! We've gotta find Yuni-chan!"
"Yea!" bellowed the rest if 3D but moment they did Yankumi stood up still holding her stoic expression
"No" her firm voice overpowered them all
"Huh?"
"What the hell are you saying?" Kura barked standing up and harshly shoving a desk out of his way "we can't just sit here while Yuni-chan is out there somewhere!"
"Yes you will" Kango-shi stood up as well and sighed "this sounds very serious, a gang of thugs kidnapping a teenage girl could mean anything. We don't know what to expect from then, it's safer if you all stay here"
"But-"
"We'll take care of it" Yankumi spoke with a stern voice, spinning on her heel the dorky math teacher made her way towards the classroom door "Matsushima"
"Hai" the nurse was quick to follow her leaving Nana and all of 3D to sit aggravated in the classroom. They couldn't just run off and say they'd take care of this! They couldn't just leave 3D out of this and they especially couldn't leave Nana out of this. Yuni was her best friend, it was bad enough the girl felt guilty for not being able to stop the kidnapping but to make her stay put and not help in the rescue was just cruel.
"like hell I'm going to sit back and do nothing" Yamato finally broke the silence, heads turned his way as he cracked his knuckles "Nana-chan" Nana perked turning her full focus on him "is there any chance that this was Yuni's stalker that did this?"
"No" Yuni shook her head "If they're the same guy or just a copycat this wouldn't be his style, he likes to be hands on with his word" that was a disturbing revelation but he would deal with that another time.
"Does Yuni have enemies?" Yamato asked on moving down the list of possible people that would want to kidnap the girl. Nana curved a brow in response and then her eyes gazed downward in thought.
"That would most likely be-" Nana paused, her focused face gave way to realization, did she remember something?
"What?" Yamato fixed her with the same curious gaze that the rest of his classmates did. Nana's eyes grew wide
"Yellow..." she muttered lowly "a Yellow gang...a...yellow gang"
"Yellow gang?" Ren mused from beside her
"You mean like that yellow gang we had that run in with a while back?" Jun mused recalling Yamato's short fit of rage that snowballed into the confrontation with that street gang and eventually pave the way to the unity of 3D. Now that Yamato thought about, that gang did wear a lot of yellow... "What was that gangs name anyway?" the Taguchi male asked aloud
"The Golden Hawks are the only gang in the area known to wear yellow" Kou muttered from his seat never once lifting his gaze from that Korean language book his was reading.
"Golden Hawks" Nana repeated turning to the informant boy who nodded his head.
"Yup, I'm pretty sure that's the gang you're talking about" he answered, Golden Hawks...now that Yamato thought about it that title did sound familiar... Things were starting to piece together. "Actually" Kou remarked "If my information it right" and it always is "the leader of that gang not only has a hang out by one of the harbors but he also has a girlfriend in your school Nana-chan...A senior I think" that was all they needed to hear, Nana's face became stone like and looks of understanding were exchanged between Ren, Jun and Yamato. They knew who this girl was and the realization had obviously unleashed a rage in Nana. Her usually adorable bubbly face had lost all joy, instead it held rage...pure, white hot fury. In a deep scowl of a voice the small girl snarled out the name of person everyone seem to understand was the culprit behind all of this.
"Maiyuri Hisa..."
As midday came on the day that it happen Yuni weakly clung to consciousness only waking just enough to be barely aware of her surrounds. She was in a car...no not just a car it was far too spacious to be a normal car, a van perhaps. Yuni couldn't move, her body felt so heavy and whenever she moved her head her vision swirled and she became dizzy. Her limbs felt so stiff but when she tried to stretch them they stayed strictly beside one another, in her haze Yuni could only recognize the feeling of ropes tightly binding her wrist together behind her back and her legs in place by her ankles. They weren't moving, she couldn't hear the sounds of an engine running or wheels against the road bellow, where was she?
"Ouch!" a deep voice yelled just outside the van "hold the little brats legs dammit! I thought you said you could handle him!"
"I can!" whoever the first person spoke to replied "but I gotta cover his mouth too you know, he'll start screaming"
"I can't believe you can't handle one bratty little kid" That voice, that one belonged to the leader of the gang that had taken her from Nana, Yuni stiffened up as his deep voice echoed through the van he was in here with her but in her current state Yuni could tell where he was.
"Just open the door so I can tie the brat up!" the one handling to child snarled, at his command the side door to the van slid open and the child was thrown in with a slight grunt. "Now kid" the guy who had thrown him growled "there's no need for me to break your little arms and legs right? Make this easy on yourself and let me tie you up"
"you know we can't do that" the boss remarked "if our lovely queen back here finds out it will only give us more trouble than it's worth" he must have been gesturing to het because there was a shuffling sound coming from where the child had been throw as he most likely turned to look at her.
"Noona!" the child's voice yelled out and the sound of it sent a bolt of panic through Yuni's barely functioning body. With all the strength she could muster Yuni forced her eyes wide open and her vision to clear up. Yon was crawling over to her yelling for her but one of these thugs quickly yanked him back to the other side of the van "Noona!"
"Yon!" Yuni slurred trying to push herself up but only accomplished rolling about like a clumsy drunk, damn these drugs! What the hell was Yon doing here? "Y-Yong Sook!" the girl struggled to say but again it came out as a slur and made her sound both heavily sedated and extremely drunk.
"Well well" The leader's deep voice was coming closer "sleeping beauty is awake"
"Don't touch her!" Yon snarled fiercely as Yuni felt someone lift her so she was leaning against them. She stared at her little brothers enraged face while the object of his rage brushed hair from her face, she was too weak to fight back. "What did you do to her!"
"You're not really in the position to be asking questions here" the male replied with smirk in his voice as he began petting Yuni like she was some sort of animal "okay kid I'm going to make this very easy for you, you have two options at this point: one, you can let my friend here tie you up and shut the hell up or Two..." Yuni felt her hair being tugged back and her head tipped back with it offering no resistance, cold steel touched her neck "you put up a fight and 'Noona' here gets hurt. The choice is yours little man"
"Yong Sook..." Yuni moaned out, as the minutes ticked on she could feel her head clearing up little by little "Yong Sook don't listen to him...do...do exactly what Noona taught you... Run...run-" Yuni halted her words with a squeak when she felt the metal against her neck press even harder than before.
"That's enough out of you" her captor cooed out before holding out his free hand "I think you should rest a little more, you must be tired" rest more? What did he mean? "Pass me the mask" the order added size to Yuni's Hazel orbs, no! No! The plastic was pressed against her face even as she squirmed about weakly in an attempt to fight back. She was seeing spots, her head was swirling, she couldn't stay awake.
"N-Noona!" Yuni heard her brother yell before darkness welcomed her back into its embrace.
Screams of pain and agony were all they had been hearing for the past ten minutes but really none of them dared to step in and say or do anything to stop what they were witness. Of course 3D hadn't listened to Yankumi's order for them to stay at the school, now that they had a lead they weren't going to sit back and do nothing. They ran to Momo academy to look for Maiyuri Hisa only to find that she wasn't there, so what did an enraged Nana do to make up for that? She went for the next best thing: the seniors group of friends.
Two minutes, it took Nana a matter of two minutes to get six girls, six seniors twice her height, to the roof of the school and lined up. They were all crouched down balancing on the balls of their feet and anguishing every second of it. Kou, who had oddly enough tagged along while the rest of 3D looked elsewhere for Maiyuri, explained that what Nana had them doing was a form of torture called 'stress positions' this one in particular cause immense pain on ones legs and if the position was prolongs and weight was added on the victim back it could result in destruction of the muscles in the legs. This explanation brought a shiver to some spines for the tactic was certainly living up to its description and these girls certainly looked to be in extreme pain after staying like this for so long.
"Someone should stop her..." Yamato announced after forcing himself so watch this torture for those long ten minutes.
"J-Jun" Ren stammered out nudging the boy forward with his shoulder "You go tell her"
"Why do I have to do it?" Jun whispered harshly glaring at Ren "She's your girlfriend!" and this would probably be the only time he would openly admit to that but Ren had an easy enough reply.
"She's your sister" he spoke and went on to nod his head towards the girl whose very aura swirled with purple malice. No one could blame the two boys who normally were at each other's throats to be by Nana's side now fighting just to stay away from her. No one said it but the air was stuffy with the fear that if one of them approached Nana wrong she'd have them kneeling with her schoolmates in seconds. However something had to be done even if only to prevent the seventeen year old from coming up with more inventive methods of torture should she not get her answer.
The only problem was...who would approach her?
Eventually someone was decided on and that someone was Kura. He was shaking at the knee when he approached the pacing Nana.
"A-anno..." he whimpered out when he was close enough "N-N-Nana-Chan-" the girl whipped around and glared at Kura, the boy froze like a poor soul under Medusa's stare and the rest of the group took at least five large steps back. The saying 'looks can kill' was so close to being true in that moment when one stared in to the angry eyes of Taguchi Kyona. "Never mind!" Kura yelped backing up as quickly as he could and joining his friends an even farther distance away.
"Now..." Nana turned back to the seniors who were now crying from pain "Akajita-senpai..." the senior flinched under the call of her name "You look like you want to share a secret with me... How about it?" Nana leaned forward slightly to look at the girls face "Where is Maiyuri right now? With her boyfriend maybe? Where would they be in the middle of a school day?"
"I-I" Akajita stammered "I..."
"Careful now" Nana warned "You don't want to give me the wrong answer do you?"
"I...I'm not telling you anything!"
"Heh?"
"Aaaaaahhh!" the boy cringed under the girls painful scream. Nana had aliened herself along the seniors back and dropped her weight onto the girl causing her pain.
"Wrong answer" Nana remarked coldly "Now give me the one I want"
"No!"
"Heh?"
"Aaaaah! STOP IT!"
"Tell me where she is!"
"No! AAAAAHHH!"
"You're really wearing on my patience Akajita..."
"I...I..I-I don't know! I don't know!"
"Liar!"
"Aaaah! Please stop!" the senior wailed out tears running down her face like rivers "I don't know! I swear I don't know!" she sobbed out
"Why should I believe that you don't know?" Nana snarled "You're Maiyuri's right hand, she doesn't so much as go to the toilet without you knowing when and which one! And you want me to believe that all of a sudden you don't know where she is?"
"It's the truth!" Akajita cried "she got a text from her boyfriend and left! That's it! That's all I know!" this response made Nana sigh sadly
"Kaza-kun" she called to her boyfriend "Could you come here please? I need a boys weight over here" the threat was enough, Akajita strained her neck and fixed her teary eyes on the cold expression Nana fixed her with and sang like a canary.
"Okay! Okay!" she yelled letting her head drop in shame "Tokyo port...its warehouse 5 in Tokyo port"
"Tokyo port huh?" From her ever so relaxed seat Umeki kept her eyes fixed on the male on the ground before her. She and Ojou went separate ways in hopes of covering more ground and finding the right harbor that Kyona's friend had been taken to. It didn't take Umeki very long to figure out what 3D had and after that it was only a matter of effort to locate someone who was a part of that very gang.
They weren't hard to miss, they wore bright shades of yellow after all.
"How cheesy" The nurse sighed crossing her leg over the other "You would think that after kidnapping someone they would take them to a place less obvious..." she droned finally letting her gaze look about the alley where she had met the young man, he was still in high school but he wore a yellow shirt under his school blazer to mark his place in the Golden Hawks. Umeki couldn't help herself, she rolled her eyes at how eager some of these boys could be when it came to being a part of a gang honestly they weren't all they cracked up to be. Most people in gangs had to go through at least year of initiation if they were recruited and if one didn't want to suffer through that they did what Umeki did: they fought their way in and took the leaders spot when they won but that on its own was a hassle that any average punk wouldn't be able to handle. She'd save this poor boy from that kind of life and she did so the only way she knew how. Right now this boy, who had be acting all cocky when he first spotted Umeki approaching him, was sprawled across the ground whimpering in pain and embarrassment not to mention shame that he had ratted out his boss.
"What are you gonna do to them?" he asked her with nervous eyes, when Umeki turned her gaze back to him he looked at the ground trying his best not to make eye contact. Who could blame him for not wanting to meet eyes with her? The question made Umeki smirk just a bit. She shrugged nonchalantly as if she has many different ideas of what she might do and the motion made the boy shudder.
"That's nothing you have to worry about" she mused playfully "But I would suggest you button up your blazer and ditch the Golden Hawks"
"W-Why?" the boy raised his head, for a second he dared to stare Umeki in the eyes but only for a second, nothing less nothing more, before he paled and looked away. A slight giggle bubbled up Umeki's throat and her eyes danced with a dark laughter.
"May I borrow your phone?" the question came out laced with a tone of innocence that was easily betrayed by her sinister expression. The boy, obviously very scared, wasted no time in handing over his cell phone to the woman and with it she called Yankumi. "Tokyo port" she hummed as soon as the line was picked up, she didn't wait for her former homeroom teacher to say the expected 'Hello'
"Eh?" questioned the teacher "Ume-chan, is that you?"
"Who else would it be?"
"I don't recognize this number so I was just wondering…"
"I can't seem to find my phone at the moment, I'm borrowing a co-worker's" Umeki lied without even flinching "We're wasting time here, I know where they took the girl"
"You do? But how?"
"Well…" Umeki hummed casting an eye to the boy on the ground before her again, once again he avoided eye contact with her "…I have my ways" she cooed in amusement.
"Do you know which warehouse it's in?"
"Which warehouse…" The nurse uncrossed her legs and within second had the poor student on his back with her heeled shoe pressing him down by his chest. His eyes grew wide and he opened his mouth to scream but no sound came out "….let's see…" she pressed her foot down harder than before earning her the boy's attention "Which warehouse…"
"a-anno" the boy stammered out looking about franticly as if the answer were hidden in the alley walls about them. He was stalling for time, trying to think of a way to get out of the situation but Umeki needed his eyes on her so she added a bit of pressure to the back of her foot pressing the heel of her shoe painfully into the boy's chest. "5!" he groaned his face twisting up in pain "warehouse 5!"
"Ah! Now I remember!" Umeki chirped into the phone taking her foot off the boy and turning away from him "Warehouse 5! That's what the sweet boy I asked told me, Warehouse 5 in Tokyo port"
"Huh" Yankumi puffed from her end "You'd think they'd take the girl somewhere that wasn't so obvious"
"That's what I thought" Umeki chuckled
"I'll see you there than?"
"Gomen Ojou but I can't this time. I have to work, I've been neglecting to do anything for the past few days"
"Ah I see" Yankumi hummed "I'll tell you how it goes, tell Natsume-sensei I said hello"
"Will do" Umeki replied and hung up the phone. A silence enveloped the alleyway once the call had ended.
"A-Anno…"
"What do you want kid?" Umeki glanced at him from the corner of her eye, she would have thought he'd run away by now but he hadn't. He sat up now with his hand outstretched to her expectantly, his eyes weren't on her but the phone she held in her hands. Ah, so he wanted his phone back.
"About what you said before" his shaking voice was finding courage slowly "What did you mean I should ditch the Golden Hawks? Why should I do that?" Umeki didn't answer for a moment, she stared down at him in silence before her hold on the phone tightened and whirled around to face him, and instead of handing him his phone she threw it with great force past his head and into the wall behind him where it shattered. The boy gaped at her.
"Because a lot of bad things are about to happen to that gang"
She didn't know where she was, she didn't know what time it was, she didn't even know if today was today or if it was tomorrow. Even so, whether it was still the day she had been kidnapped for three days since all Yuni knew at the moment, now that her head was clearing from that powerful gas, were the ropes that bound her wrist and tied her to the chair she sat in. Her mouth was bone dry craving water and she still felt just a bit dizzy. Yon was tied up beside her and out cold, though Yuni didn't know from what and frankly she'd rather not know, bound just as tightly as she was but the difference was he had a blindfold over his eyes and Yuni did not. No, she was force to stare at the guy kneeling before her. The man who had twice so far drugged her into unconsciousness, the man who said that all of this was 'nothing personal', the man who had kidnapped her little brother and used her as a means to get the boy to cooperate, the leader of the Golden Hawks and Maiyuri Hisa's boyfriend:
Noe Nagato.
Yes, Yuni was aware of the whole situation. She had known from the moment they had surrounded her who was behind all of this. Kyona and the rest of 3D didn't give Yuni enough credit honestly, she couldn't blame them really because she gave off an air of being oblivious to these types of things. They must thing at this very moment that she was in tears begging for her life, not sure why she was kidnapped…probably even fearing that it was her secret admirer who had called for her abduction and maybe it was better for them to think that way. They didn't have to know that Yuni had suspected Maiyuri of scheming something like this for months now. Yuni stayed still as ever fixing the man before her with a harsh glare as he tipped his head from side to side eyeing her like a curious child, was she really that fascinating to look at?
"You don't seem scared" he spoke up when Yuni imitated him, tilting her head curiously at him "Have you been kidnapped before?"
"Should that matter?" Yuni drawled out in a horse voice, why was he having a conversation with her? Didn't he know that was the first step to empathizing with ones victim?
"Not really?" Noe shrugged "Just thought that might be the reason why you seem so calm"
"I haven't" Yuni answered bluntly "at least not in the sense that my kidnapper had malicious intent behind their actions"… or at least she didn't think he did. Noe's eyes flickered with curiosity at her statement.
"They kidnapped you with no malicious intent?" he repeated, Yuni nodded.
"Some people believe I don't get out enough" she shrugged her shoulders as best she could with the ropes around her person, Noe snickered ever so slightly at the comment and Yuni turned her eyes away from him and looking around the room. It was like some scene from a dramatic movie, there was a really bright light hanging over them and that was the only reason she could see Noe before her. Even if she didn't have her sight she had Yon, with him they had a chance, with him they could get away she just needed to give them an opening.
"Do you think you don't get out much?" Noe's voice brought Yuni's attention back to him. He was grinning at her at the moment obviously very amused by this conversation they were having. Again Yuni shrugged her shoulders, did she believe she didn't get out enough? Sometimes she did but that was only because of the things Yamato had been introducing her to in the past few weeks. Other than that the girl didn't generally feel she was missing much, there were a lot of aspects of the average teenage life she could live through not experiencing.
"So Maiyuri asked you kidnap me then?" Yuni questioned rolling her head so her neck cracked a bit, she was getting stiffer by the minute
"Is the sun the center of the solar system?" Noe snorted from where he sat earning rolled eyes from the girl before him.
"If you're going to be a sarcastic ass" Yuni sent him a blank look "then do me a favor and shut the hell up"
"Ooo" Noe chuckled out a dark smirk appearing on his lips "Kittens got claws" Yuni snorted at him. Then he did something that took the girl by surprise. He stood up from his seat across from her and approached looming over her like a hungry demon "I like feisty" he growled down at her. Yuni's eyes went wide just a bit, she didn't like how this was going one bit. She could push him away because she was tied up, all she could do was lean her head away from his touch but even that did do much for she could only stretch her neck so far. "You know you're a pretty one, I can see why Hisa is so jealous"
"She's not jealous" Yuni remarked glaring at the older male "She's angry because she thinks I'm the cause of the recent down fall of her family's restaurant"
"Aren't you though?" Noe questioned brushing amber hair out of her face "You did threaten to ruin her life"
"Because she threaten to ruin mine" Yuni snapped back "and she said she would hurt my brother"
"A girl who takes care of her own" Noe's smirk just kept growing and he was slowly drawing closer and closer to Yuni with each word "You're more my type than Hisa is, what do you say little girl want to ditch whatever little high school boy you're dating and try a ride with a man" That was all Yuni could take of him, her eyes smoldered with rage at the man. How dare he put his filthy hands on her, who did he think he was? He should feel lucky just to have Yuni in his presence! Tipping her head so she could look at him better Yuni made the decision then and there that she would take no more of this disrespect. With a stone cold expression of an emotionless being Yuni replied her answer.
"No" It was a good thing they forgot to, or maybe didn't even think to, tie her legs to the chair because now that the full effects of the chloroform were gone from her system she could take full advantage of that. With a grunt Yuni bent her knees and hoisted her legs up into the gap between the two of them and kicked as hard as she could. It was a combination of force, strength and the fact that she took him by surprise that allowed Yuni to completely take the male off his feet and up into the air when her feet connected with his solar plexus and she kicked as hard as she could. He grunted loudly being thrown back and crashing into the chair he had been sitting in just a few minutes ago breaking the wood and crumbling to the ground with it. Yuni didn't so much as blink at the destruction she had caused, her expression remained hard and with the threat now away from her she gracefully lowered her legs back to the floor crossing one over the other with a sense of attitude "I would rather not sully my good name by so much as the thought of having relations with the likes of you, Filthy trash"
"You little-" Noe coughed struggling to get his breath back.
"Is there a problem Noe Nagato?" Yuni questioned in a deeply superior tone "I thought you liked feisty." Noe glared at her, he pushed himself back onto his feet and his hand curled into a tight fist before approaching her again. She knew what would come next for she'd experienced it once before, so were the woes of befriending a group like Akadou's 3D, but she wasn't the lease bit afraid. He could hit her all he wanted, in the end he was the one that was going to pay for do such and he would pay dearly.
"Don't" a female voice rang out just as Noe swung his fist in an attempt to slug Yuni as hard as he could. He stopped short and looked behind him in the direction of the voice "I'll deal with her" They'll deal with her? Who was that?
"Whatever you say babe" Noe muttered sending a glare Yuni's way before turning to the person as their footsteps came closer. A few seconds past and before long Hisa stepped into the light that shined down on them smirking. "What do you want me to do with the kid?"
"I don't know" Hisa scuffed crossing her arms "Take him somewhere else and deal with him, I don't need the snot-nosed brat" This comment earned Hisa snarl in response and a fiery glare, what the hell did she mean by 'deal with him'? If he hurt Yong Sook she would- "If you could see yourself right now" Yuni broke from her thoughts and focused on the senior before her "Pathetic" Hisa sneered
"It looks good on me" Yuni replied coolly never once giving the girl the satisfaction of seeing her upset "It makes me look innocent, protectable you however…" Yuni looked her up and down while Hisa snarled "You just look…simply…pathetic" she let out a gentle laugh but Hisa sneered at her.
"I've got plans for you today"
"Do you know?" Yuni grinned at the senior "Oh please if you would, do tell"
"Well first you're going to take back everything that you've been doing" Yuni snorted loudly at the request but judging by the look Hisa gave her she was serious. Yuni frowned regaining her stone expression.
"Take what back?" Yuni questioned innocently tipping her head to the side "I don't know what you're talking about"
"So we're going to do this the hard way then?... okay, but remember you asked for it" Hisa sighed and with that the senior reached up over her head and turned the light shinning down on them out. Darkness swept over Yuni immediately and with it came the girls panic.
"What are you doing you idiot?" Yuni questioned trying to calm herself "With the lights out you can't see me"
"I told you Yun Lee" Hisa's voice just seemed to echo from everywhere "I did some research on, I know all about you…your perfections, your faults, your family your weakness" from her place Yuni became ridged, no…she couldn't "While you were out I put something in your eyes" Hisa informed her, Yuni turned her head looking about the darkness in the direction she was hearing the girls voice.
"Did you?"
"Mhm"
"Mind if I ask what?"
"Tropicamide" Hisa answered there was a smirk to her voice "I doubt you noticed the effects though, the chloroform really did a number on you ya'know?"
"Tropicamide?" She put what into Yuni's eyes? The girl whipped her head around wildly looking for Hisa and surprisingly enough Hisa laughed at her.
"Can't find me can you?" she laughed out "look all you want Yun Lee, I told you I know your weakness" suddenly she felt someone take a fist full of her hair and yank her hair back, she yelped from the sudden jerk. "You do know what Tropicamide is don't you?" Hisa laughed darkly keeping a firm grip on the girl's hair despite how much she struggled to get free "You went to that super elite school in Korean didn't you? You should know what it is. It's an antimuscarinic drug that causes mydriasis. It's what eye doctors use to make the eyes dilate so they can examine their patients"
"I know what it does" Yuni snarled at her "what's your point?"
"I'm glad you know" Hisa hummed "That means you know what happens when someone with dilated eyes steps out into a sunny day…" Yuni's eyes went wide when she said this, oh she knew what would happen, her eye doctor warned her about it and it wouldn't be pretty "Still don't understand Yun Lee?" Hisa taunted "here let me shine some light on the situation!" there was the loud click of a flashlight and within seconds of Hisa's words sinking in light appeared before Yuni's dilated eyes. It was so bright, too bright! It burned! It hurt! It was like staring directly into the sun! Oh the pain Yuni suddenly felt, she tried to hold it in but it was no use and ripped through her body until it broke free from her mouth.
The mother of all agonizing shrieks.
If the boys thought hearing Akajita scream in pain was hard to listen to the scream they had just heard echoing through the warehouse they stood before had made it clear that, compared to it, Akajita had only yelled in pain. Yamato could stop himself from visibly cringing when he heard the scream, there was no mistaking that voice even when it was in a scream…that was Yuni shrieking in pain. It took all of Ren's strength to keep Nana from just bluntly charging into the building and too her friends aid. Yankumi, who had showed up only minutes ago and had been in the middle of scolding them for not listening to her, whipping around to stare at the warehouse. The scream went on for a minute more before stopping and fading into the night air. Yamato scowled much like the rest of his friends, he'd be damned if he was going to stand out here and wait for Yankumi do save the girl, she was in obvious pain. With a growl he stepped forward only to have the teacher stretch an arm out in his path.
"I said stay out here!" Yankumi spoke firmly
"To hell with that!" Yamato barked back pushing the woman's arm out of the way and charging towards the warehouse doors Nana was right behind him dragging Ren the whole way. His actions were enough to motivate the others into taking action as well because the rest of his classmates followed with a loud yell.
"Everyone!" Yankumi yelled out trying to stop them but no one was listening, they were fueled by the painfully screams of the girl they had come here to get back. Being in the lead Yamato threw the large warehouse door open and found a surprising sight. Instead of being just one big room large containers filled the warehouse and made it almost impossible to determine which one Yuni's cried were coming from. Hell they could be looking forever! That wasn't even the worst of it.
"Heh?" the grunt accompanied by the nasty look made Kura squeak from behind Yamato, Kou had been right, this was the same exact gang they had dealt with a while back. He glared as the lot of them turned their attention to the teens apparently getting ready to fight "What are little high schoolers doing around here?"
"Where's Yuni!" Nana barked out
"We don't know" they collectively shrugged but their antics were cut short when Yuni let loose yet another scream.
"You must be deaf then" Ren sneered, Yamato looked back at his friend. Ren nodded his head in silent understanding before jerking in the direction of the containers behind the gang. Did he want him to go? It appeared so because a moment later he nudged Nana towards him muttering something to her. She only slightly nodded.
"Yamato-kun" she addressed him taking large steps towards the containers, he nodded and hurried after her. One of the men stepped in front of Nana to stop her and he quickly wished he hadn't because nana snarled violently and slugged the male so hard she took him clean off his feet "Back off!" she growled before charging ahead with Yamato close behind him. The guy followed Ren's example and started fighting to keep them from following.
Contain after contain was opened, Yamato took the ones on the left and Nana took the ones on the right but so far they only opened to empty space. It was really starting to look like they wouldn't find Yuni! Yamato wasn't sure how long Ren and the other would be able to keep those guys occupied but if Yankumi was there hopefully the teacher could do them a solid and kick some ass.
"We're getting nowhere" Yamato paused when he was about to open another one as Nana suddenly growled slamming the container she had just checked shut and kicked it hard. "YUNI!" Yuni screamed out in agony as if answering her friends call making Yamato pause. That was close…that was really close…
"…" both he and Nana looked at one another before glancing about at the surrounding containers "…Yuni!" Yamato yelled this time. Silence bet them and they strained their ears trying their best to hear something anything that would lead them to the girl. That was when Yamato heard it, a muffled yell and the sounds of someone telling the screamer to shut up and it was coming from the container Yamato stood before. Quickly he gripped the handles and threw them open, instead of empty space he was greeted by the two people they had spent all day looking for: Maiyuri Hisa and Yuni. The senior currently had Yuni tied up to a chair and was pulling her head back by her hair, like Yamato had guessed she also had a hand covering the girls mouth preventing her from screaming. Bingo. Hisa froze when she met eyes with Yamato but only for a second then she was on the move. She charged so suddenly the Akadou boy didn't have room to react, she completely bowled him over and took off running.
"Maiyuri" Nana growled at the senior taking off after her without so much as a though to Yuni "I'm going to murder you!"
"Nana-chan" Yamato grunted after the girl "Wait what about…" it was too late, Maiyuri rounded a corner and Nana soon followed giving chase to the senior probably too much in a rage to care about the well being of her friend at the moment. He sighed, why was he always left to take care of the girl? The very girl he thought of was panting loudly from her place in the container and this brought Yamato's attention, right she was still tied up. Might as well get her out of here she was probably terrified right now.
"…Whose there?" Yuni's were on him the second he stepped into the container and his footsteps echoed through it. Yamato paused in his steps and arched a brow at her, seriously? She was going to ask stupid question right now, the room had lights in it that were dim and all but one could still tell what was what and who was who from within the lacking light. "I said whose there?" Yuni repeated herself as Yamato moved into the room and behind the chair focusing on getting her free from her bounds "Yah!"
"Relax" Yamato hissed at the panicking girl, she almost instantly relaxed when she heard him.
"O-Ogata-kun?"
"Mhm" he nodded still curious as to why she didn't guess that when he was less than an inch away from her. With a finally tug she was free of the ropes "Come on" he told her standing up "let's get you out of here"
"No No wait" Yuni shot out of her seat and turned to him, her hazel eyes were so wide with fear right at that moment that it took Yamato by surprise just to look at them "I can't leave yet!"
"Eh?" he made a face "are you stupid? Why would you want to stay here? It sounded like she was killing you before when we got here!"
"It's Yon" the comment stop whatever else Yamato was about to say, which was suppose to be an insult to the girl IQ again, what did she mean it's Yon? "He's here, they took Yong Sook too! Maiyuri told her boyfriend to deal with him but I don't know where he took him" in a flash Yuni spun on her heel "Wh-Where's the door? I need to find Yong Sook" Yamato couldn't help but make a face, what did she mean where was the door? When he didn't answer Yuni turned to him with a harsh glare "I'm serious Yamato-kun I have to find Yo-" the girl yelped and stumbled as she walked into the chair she had been sitting in a second ago and Yamato had to catch her to keep her from falling to the ground. What was wrong with her? It was like she couldn't see him!… wait a second. Furrowing his Eyebrow Yamato actually paused to think about that statement
"you're alright now, calm down" Yamato said from beside the girl and she looked about wildly even though it wasn't that dark and he was standing right next to her, Yuni screamed swinging her leg round, the heel of her shoe collided with Yamato's head and send him stumbling to the ground. "What the hell! Is that how you thank people who save your life?" Yuni squinted her eyes through the dark
"…Ogata?"
…
"do you have to do that?" he grumbled, Yuni glared at him just as he glared just like she did at him keeping her grip firm even as he tried to shake her off.
"It's not like I want to…"
…
"You look fine, you don't look hurt, you're standing so you can obviously walk so why did you ask me to come down this...dirty place to pick you up?"
"You know well why I had to call you"
…
"Noona doesn't like to walk alone in the dark. I think it's because she's afraid of the dark but she always tells me it's complicated"
…
"I've been told mind are the lightest in the family, not even my mom's are as light as mine…I don't like them"
…
"It's not because I'm afraid of the dark, I know it looks that way but it really isn't. It's just…hard"
…
"Oi, Lets go outside and wait for your ride. They might now know where the café is exactly" he moved to get up but to his surprise Yuni quickly wrapped her arms around one of his and held on tightly keeping him seated.
'No" she replied softly when he looked down at her sleepy form, she nuzzled against his shoulder and tightened her grip on his arm "I don't want to go outside"
…
"Yuni come on...Yun Lee!" a groan answered him. Slowly Yuni seemed to regain consciousness and open her eyes, beautiful hazel orbs opened wide and stared at Yamato granting him the ability to release the breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Who's there?" Yuni muttered out even though their faces were so close and he was looking right at him "Who...who is this?" geez that punch really did a number on her.
"It's me" Yamato told her
"...Yamato-senpai?"
"Yamato-kun!" Yuni's panicking voice snapped Yamato out of his daze and he glanced down at her, she was gripping his blazer tightly "What are you just standing there like that for! We have to find Yong Sook"
"Park Yun Lee…" Yamato spoke her name with a sense of awe as the puzzle started coming together and right then and there he realized what her great weakness was… "You can't see me can you?" it all made sense, there were countless times that he had been so close to her like right now and yet for whatever reason she didn't know it was him. Now that he thought about it, whenever this happen it was always dark out…That was Yuni's weakness, when it's dark she can't see! The question stopped the girls panicking, her already eyes became even wide. This alone gave Yamato the answer he needed "That's why you need someone to hold your hand at night when you walk home" he stated in realization "It's not that you don't know your way around, you can't see"
"Don't be ridiculous" Yuni hissed at him "Of course I can see! Now stop joking around!" Yamato shook his head though he now knew she couldn't see it. He knew he was right and they were in the perfect situation to prove his point, he got himself free from her grip and she gasped at this reaching out for him even as he stepped back and away from her "Yamato-kun" she muttered
"Am I still being ridiculous?" he questioned with an arched brow "you can't find me can you?"
"Yamato-Kun stop it" her voice shook but he didn't listen, he watched her reach her arms out around trying to feel for him but he was too far away. "Yamato-Kun…" her said it softly now "Yamato-Kun please" she stumbled around the chair she had walked into just second before and walked slowly cautiously towards him. "Yamato-kun" she called him again "please, I have to find Yong Sook"
"No one is stopping you" Yamato shrugged slightly, this made her angry, she glared into nothingness
"The lights are off you asshole!" she yelled at him "its pitch black! How can I possibly see anything!"
"Actually" Yamato smirked slightly, his point was proven "the lights are on, they're just dim" the look on her face was enough for him to know that she realized she was busted "You can't see in here"
"I…I…" she quieted down when Yamato reached out and took hold of both her hands and slowly turned her around in the direction of the door "You…You can't tell anyone" she told him allowing him to lead her out of the poorly lit container "If anyone knows I have this condition-"
"I won't tell anyone" Yamato nodded his head, Yuni sigh in relief "this is a condition?" he questioned, now that he knew the truth he figured she might as well tell him the whole deal. Yuni appeared to think the very same thing because she nodded her head.
"I've had it since birth, from my mother's side" she told him quietly "It's called Nyctalopia or night blindness. It basically means that when it comes to being in dimly lit rooms or out at night I either have a hard time seeing or I can't see at all… my doctor says it's because my eyes are such a light shade" so that was why she said she hated her eyes back then "It's the Park gene, It appears that members of the family with light Hazel eyes usually end up with this condition-"
"So you, having the lightest shade in your family, naturally have it?" Yamato questioned and Yuni nodded, they stepped out of the container finally and she blinked furiously shielding her eyes from the light "you alright?"
"I'm fine" she muttered "Where's Yong Sook?" as if answering the question the container next to the one they had just walked out of swung open and out stumbled the leader of this gang of thugs. He took a couple of staggered steps before dropping to the ground hard. A moment later Yon-kun walked out of the container calmly wiping off his cloths and smirking down at the fallen figure. "Yong Sook!" Yuni chirped, Yon's head snapped in their direction and his expression brightened
"Noona!" the siblings ran towards one another and almost immediately circled each other in a tight hug "are you okay? I-I heard you screaming!"
"I'm okay" Yuni chuckled running a hand over her brothers head "I hope you hurt him" she added casting a glare to the male unconscious on the ground. Yon shrugged.
"A little" he remarked and at this Yamato chuckled.
Maiyuri Hisa, unfortunately, got away from them that night but considering she had to go back to school at some point of time no one was really that worried. Nana had expressed, as they left the warehouse, and those beaten to a pulp within, that she herself was very excited for the moment that the senior had the courage to set foot on school ground again so she could personally make her suffer for what she did to Yuni but the Korean had assured her that it was okay.
She would suffer a great deal soon enough, whatever that meant.
Kou breathed a sigh of relief when he got the text from Yamato saying that they had gotten the Korean girl, Park Yun Lee, out of the situation safely. Honestly hearing that made his job a lot easier, he wouldn't have to break some bad news and probably get himself killed. From where he was perched the informant boy stared at the screen on his cell phone reflecting to him that his message had been received by the vigilante rider from hell, Perhaps telling her about this little hiccup wasn't necessary to begin with…
"Oh well" the boy grinned to himself snapping his phone shut and stretching his arms over his head "She can take care of the rest of them if Yankumi and the guys left anything behind for her to do" the night air suddenly rumbled with the roar of a motorcycle and speak of the devil there she was shooting down the road and past him with deadly speed racing as fast as she could go away from… Kou looked down the road she had rest so quickly away from. Was that the police department? A moment after the taillights of her bike faded into the darkness three police cars, with sirens blaring, raced after her. Wonder what she did to them…this had been their third strike after all…
"I guess something really bad happen to that gang today…"
What Akai Hana done to them?
She had been angry, very angry. It was evident to anyone who had been standing outside of the police department the moment it happened. It had been so very peaceful right now to the second that it happen. The chief of police had actually been on his way out the door heading home after a long day of paperwork and dealing with petty crimes left and right. Just as he open the door to his car a terrified scream ripped through the air. Startled the man whipped around and gasped loudly.
One by one they dropped from the sky and jerked to a stop hanging by ropes, some by their ankles and some by their waist, from the department's roof! The yellow each of them wore was enough to let the chief know that these were the fool that form the group called the Golden Hawks but what the hell were they doing? There were so many of them hanging from the roof by ropes it looked like the whole damn gang was hanging like rag dolls groaning in pain from easily visible bruises on across their bodies.
"Look!" a woman screamed pointing to the roof high above them, he looked and again gasped loudly. Noe Nagato, the infamous leader of the Golden Hawks, stood on the roof but not for long. Soon he dropped like his gang members but jerked to a stop, like a bungee jumper, by his ankles. Who stood in his place on the room? Who else but that vigilante woman Akai Hana!
"I did warn him He wouldn't like my next visit…" she smirked to herself red eyes blazing like neon lights before she turned with a whip of her high pony tail and disappeared.
That wasn't all that happen that night.
Elsewhere, at Momo Academy a lone figure unlocked the school's front door grinning to himself. He had a box tucked under his arm that contained the most breath taking Diamonds he could get his hands on and he intended on placing into a certain locker of a certain beauty. Soundlessly he moved to her locker and easily opened it. He would set it right on top of her school shoes-
What's this? A note? From the Queen herself? Quickly he picked up the note and tore it open very curious as to what she had left him.
'Accept your love and give you mine?' the note read 'NEVER'
Chuckling to himself he crumpled up the note closing Queenie's locker and turned leaving the school not bothering to leave the jewels he had bought her.
"Queenie, my Queenie" he chuckled on walking into the night.
