Your Never Safe
By: Keitaro Urashima
Chapter Two
Kanako opened the door to Hinata-Sou and stepped inside, followed closely by Graham. Motoko, who was sitting at the table, looked over. "Oh, Kanako! Everyone was worried about you, you know. Where were you?" She asked. Kanako stood quietly for a moment and then looked at Graham and the back at Motoko again before replying. "I was mugged... So uuhhh.. This man here chased down the mugger and took me to the police station where I accidently fell asleep." Motoko blinked a few times. "Wouldn't the cops wake you up?" Kanako tried her best to look cheerful. "Well, I think they should have but they didn't." Motoko looked hard at the man who was Kanako. She was getting a strange vibe from the man... Kanako kept talking. "Anyway, we're only here for a minute... I'm just getting something." She then started moving down the hall and motioned for the man to come. As they walked by, Motoko caught the strong smell of the forest. She watched the two walk down the hall quickly. Kanako is acting odd... I wonder why she isn't saying hi to anyone... They're all worried... Motoko thought to herself. A few minutes later Kanako and the man re-emerged from upstairs and left without saying a word to Motoko. Something strange is going on here... And I'm going to find out what it is! Motoko thought, as she stood and, hand on her sword.
*** "I'll admit, you handled that pretty easily. I don't think that black haired girl suspected a thing." Graham told Kanako. "Yeah... I guess..." She said back. But when she walked by Motoko, Kanako noticed a very suspicious glare from Motoko. "So, your willing to put yourself in your friend's place just so she doesn't get hurt by Tetu?" Graham asked. Kanako nodded as she looked at the contents she carried in a bag. "Yeah.. I'd rather take the punishment than to have her take it." Graham nodded. "I understand what you mean. But what will I tell Tetu when your not there?" Kanako stopped and looked at Graham. "Your not on his side are you?" She asked quietly. Graham closed his eyes and exhaled deeply before answering. "No... But if I turn against him I'll be putting my life on the line." Kanako looked deep into his eyes. "But.. You could just go to the cops." Graham shrugged. "I could.. But you don't know Tetu. When he is determined to do something, it will get done." The pair started walking again. Kanako looked over at Graham. "Why didn't Tetu kill me? He said he was going to." Graham shook his head. "He said you have a pretty face... I think he likes you." "But not as much as Naru, I suppose..." Kanako said in a low voice. Behind the pair, Motoko was following tem, trying to conceal her identity by wearing some very feminine clothes, and by wearing some shades... And she threw a blonde wig on before she left as well... She was sure that if Kanako had seen her, she wouldn't have known it was her. Motoko had been listening in on the conversation since she caught up with them a couple hundred yards from Hinata-Sou. From what she could gather, Kanako was almost killed in the park by that man and another and now she was going to disguise herself as Naru so that Naru would not have be sexually abused by the man named Tetu. It was difficult for Motoko to take in, but she was not going to back off and return to Hinata-Sou. She was going to rescue Kanako and teach the two men a lesson they'd never forget. "So, you got off to a really rough start when you moved into the inn?" Graham asked Kanako. Kanako could tell from his voice that he was curious about her and her life and wanted to know more about her... She knew Graham was a decent man. "Uhh... Yeah, I got off to a bad start I guess... Its taken some time, but everyone respects me now, and I respect them." She told him. Graham nodded. "I must admit, your a very interesting girl... Your talents.. Your struggles... Your life itself is fascinating!" Kanako giggled. She felt safe with Graham. She did not understand how such a kind, gentle man could be involved with a terrible person like Tetu. The pair continued walking for a good thirty minutes before they reached the old warehouse. Graham opened the door and let Kanako go in first. He then followed her in. Motoko ran over and stopped the door from closing with her foot. "Should have closed it by hand..." She muttered. Just then, she felt a heavy hand on her shoulder. She turned to see a middle aged man looking at her with very disturbing eyes. "Who are you?" The man asked. "I-I'm Naora... Uhh.... I'm looking for my little brother. He got away from me. Would you please help me Mr. Uhhh... ?" The man smiled. "Mister? You don't have to be so formal. Just call me Tetu." Motoko's eyes widened, and she gasped. Tetu gave her a puzzled look. "Something wrong?" Motoko growled as she pulled her sword out of what looked like an umbrella. "You wish to violate Naru Narusegawa!" Tetu's eyes widened. "Oooh... A wild one. I like that." Motoko ran at Tetu and swung her sword with all her strength. Tetu reached out with his hands, grabbed the sword in the middle of Motoko's attack, and ripped the sword away from her. Motoko stood where she was, wondering how he did that. A second later, she charged at him, ready to pummel him to death. She nailed him repeatedly in the stomach. The most that came out of Tetu were mere grunts. "Young lady, what are you trying to prove?" He asked her, sounding bored. Motoko growled and punched him in the face. Teta took a few steps back to recover. "Well, your stronger than most girls... You should serve me well." He snickered. Motoko shook her head. "What the hell do you mean by that!?" Tetu laughed. "Ha! You know damn well what I mean, girl.." Motoko growled once again and leaped at Tetu through the air. Tetu lifted a heavy slab of concrete and smashed Motoko's face with it. She tumbled to the ground, the side of her face badly scratched up, and bleeding very badly. Tetu bent down and picked her up and walked inside with her. Graham turned in shock as Tetu entered the room. Beyond him, Kanako stood wearing a wig and holding a mask in her hands. Tetu blinked a few times and then set Motoko down. "Mind telling me why the hell she isn't tied up? And what the fuck is she doing?" It took a minute for the words to come to Graham. "Uhhh... She was willing to take Naru's place. She doesn't want you harming her friend." Tetu shook his head quickly. "Well, looks like a friend knew what was going on! There may be more." Kanako stood motionless as Tetu eyed Motoko. "Listen..." He finally said. "If your able to look like your Naru friend... You should be able to look like others, no?" Kanako nodded. "Yes, I can." Tetu smiled. "Good... I want you to bring me all the girls from the inn. Don't go as yourself though... We don't want more of your friends suspecting anything." Kanako blinked. "Well, who would I go as?" Tetu again looked at Motoko, who was unconscious. "Ooooh, I have an idea. Graham, wire her."
*** Kaolla sat on the couch examining her new Mecha Tama-Chan blue prints when Motoko entered through the front. "Motoko-chan! Where were you?" Kaolla asked playfully. Motoko shook her head. "I was searching for Kanako. I figured I should help look for her as well." Kaolla didn't really seem to care what Motoko had to say, since she already left the room to begin constructing her new Mecha Tama-Chan. "That was a good one. Try to stay in character as well... And don't try anything funny." Came from Motoko's ear. It was the voice of Tetu. "I won't... You said you would kill Motoko if I do reveal your plans. I'm not going to let her die." Motoko answered. Just then, Naru entered the room. "Who are you talking to, Motoko?" She asked. "I was talking to Su... She just left though." Motoko replied. Naru smiled. "So, where were you? You disappeared a few hours ago." "I was trying to find Kanako." She answered. "Uhh... Naru.. Would you come with me? I want to talk to you privately... In the woods." Naru scratched her head and followed Motoko without questioning her. She guided Naru silently for at least two minutes before reaching a secluded location in the woods. "So what is it?" Naru asked her friend. Motoko picked up large broken branch a held in it in her hands, examining it. Naru watched, wondering what she was doing. "Naru... You've been really mean to everyone lately." Motoko announced. "I'm going to have to punish you." Naru was about to reply when Motoko pulled out a note pad and started writing on it. "Ummm... So what are you going to do to me?" Naru asked. "Hmmm.... I haven't decided yet." Motoko said, half occupied with her notepad. After about thirty more seconds Motoko gave the note pad to Naru. As Naru read it, she was becoming quite confused. Naru, it's me Kanako! I was kidnapped by some men and now they want all the Hinata Girls for pleasure!
They already have Motoko and I, and now they want you! Don't say a word, I'm wired, they'll hurt me if you say anything. You have to go back to Hinata and warn everyone else! Escape when I try to knock you out! Naru looked at Motoko, who looked back with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Naru couldn't help it. "K-Kanako?" She stuttered. "What the hell did you do now, you little wench?" Came Tetu's voice in Kanako's ear. "I'm not going to be your pawn and capture my friends!" Kanako screamed. "Maybe this will change your mind..." Tetu snickered evilly. It took a moment, but she once again heard a voice... But it was Motoko this time. "K... Kanako... They violated me... I... I'm powerless...." Motoko sounded like she was in rough shape. "Please Kanako... Do what they want... I-Its the only wa- AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Motoko let out a loud painful scream. "As you can see, I will kill her if you don't do what I say..." Came Tetu's voice once again. Kanako grabbed the the wire from under her skirt and threw it to the ground and then stomped on it. Naru shook her head. "What is it, Kanako?" She asked. Kanako looked into Naru's eyes. "If I don't do what they say, they'll kill Motoko... They probably will now that I'm not wired...." Naru nodded. "Lets go rescue her!" "Yes... Lets get her out of there before they do anything else to her!"
