Chapter 2 Dunkel Vorleben
The noise in the flowershop was giving Tory a headache. Drooling fan girls of Omi,
Aya, Ken, and Yohji were making so many shrill, squealing sounds that it was unbearable.
She rubbed her forehead with her hand that's nails were painted in black nailpolish.
She set down the rose she was pruning and walked out from behind her counter.
"Hey! BAKAS! If you're not buying anything get out, will ya?!" Tory shouted.
The girls looked at her, stuck out their tongues, and went on swooning.
Tory scowled. Morons, she thought. She returned to her flower arrangement, trying to
drown out the unearthly noise. She picked up her scissors and ran her finger along the edge.
Sharp. Reminded her of her daggers. The daggers she would use to murder those who
murdered her own family...
Part 1 Zerruettet Familie
Dominick Hayes was a very successful scientist of Yoshimoto Inc., a reasearch and producing
company that was of one of the largest and most successful companys in the world, centered in
New York City, that was rivaled only by Takatori Enterprises.
Of course, that was all about to change, seeing as he had just created a breakthrough computer
chip that would leave the Takatori Enterprises in the dust.
He grinned to himself as he walked down the busy streets of New York carrying himself like the
amazing buisness man he was.
It was apparent that it was the Christmas season by all the decoations lining the streets
and decorating the store fronts. Snow was starting to fall.
Dominick walked into the high-class, expensive apartment complex that his family lived in.
He himself lived in a different complex, but decided to visit his family, as it was Christmas.
He took off his coat and scarf and knocked on the apartment's door. It opened.
"Dommy!" shouted a younger girl, who looked much like himself only six years younger. Her eyes
were bright and cheery and she wore a bright red sweater.
"You know,Tory," Dominick said, as the girl hugged him,"For being eighteen, you always act
like a four year-old when I come home." He grinned as the girl punched him playfully.
"Mom, Dad, Roone! Dom's here!" Tory shouted. She ushered her brother into the family room
where a large and very decorated Christmas tree stood against a wall which was mostly a window
overlooking the New York skyline. Elaborately wrapped gifts were placed under the tree. Their
parents sat on a very expensive, yet comfortable, red sofa. Their little ten year-old brother,
Roone, rushed in from the kitchen and hugged Dominick. He had a mop of brown hair that fell
into his eyes.
After greetings and hugs had been exchanged, the family once again seated themselves around
the glowing tree.
"How's work been, Dom?" his Father asked.
"It's been great! My team and I have been working on a new computer chip that's sure to send
the Takatori Enterprise down the drain. No one's ever made anything like it before." Domonick
grinned. "And there is no way they can get the information on how it was created, because I
have the only file for it." He patted his briefcase. "And there's no way they can get it from
me."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was late when Dominick returned to his apartment that night. He yawned as he opened his
door and stepped inside. He tossed his keys on the side table in his hall and flicked on the
lights.
They didn't turn on.
He scratched his head and moved to the kitchen to find a flashlight. Pale moonlight and
flourescent lights of buildings filtered in through the kitchen window. He walked over a droor
and rummaged through it. He let out a small cry of victory after he found a mini flashlight.
As he started to turn around, however, something blunt collided with the side of his head.
"Oof!" He was knocked to the floor. His head started to throb.
"Where is it, Hayes?" said a dark figure with a menacing voice standing infront of him.
"W-Where's what?" he struggled to say, trying to stand up.
He felt something cold and metallic pressed to his forehead. A gun. "You know what."
Domonick's eyes widened. "T-The f-files?" he stuttered. "In my b-b-briefcase, by t-the door!"
"Good." And that was the last thing Domonick Hayes ever heard. The figure pulled the trigger
of his gun.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Tory woke up with a start. She thought she could smell something burning in her family's
apartment. She crawled out of bed and walked towards her door. Something hot was on the other
side.
She pulled it open cautiously and jumped back as flames jumped at her feet. Fire! Her
apartment was on fire!
She dashed out of her room and towards her brother's. She flung open the door and ran towards
his bed.
"Roone!" she screamed. "Roone! Wake up!" She leaned down and turned the boy who was
lying on his stomach over. She screamed again.
The boy's eyes had rolled back and blood and foam trickled out of his mouth. A large
schringe filled with poison stuck out of his chest. The word "Furcht" was written across
his forehead in blood.
"Oh...my...God..." Tory felt herself ready to throw up and rushed out of the room. The fire
had grown progressively worse.
She ran into her parent's room, only to find them in the same murdered state as her brother.
Tory choked from the smoke filling the apartment and the urge to vomit. She blindly made
her way to the apartment door. It wouldn't budge.
"C'MON DAMMIT!" she shouted as she rammed the door with her side. She threw all her weight
into the last ramming and the door finally gave. She tumbled into the hall.
"FIRE!" she shouted, hoping the other residents would hear her. "FIRE!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Tory stood outside of her burning home. The bitter cold bit at her skin and bare feet.
The fire department had swarmed the place and was trying to extinguish the inferno. She
just stared in disbelief as she saw her past go up in flames. Her family was dead.
Her home destroyed. She had nothing left.
"So you're the one we missed," said a voice behind her.
Tory spun around. A tall woman with straight brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses stood behind
her. She wore a black trenchcoat. "How fortunate for you."
"Who the Hell are you?!" Tory questioned.
The woman laughed. "Someone who is a good friend of Mr. Takatori. I'll leave it at that."
Tory's eyes widened. "Takatori sent you to...to kill my family? For what?! WHY?!"
The woman turned to leave. "That should be easy enough to answer. Your brother, of course."
Tory felt anger burn up into her throat. "I'LL KILL YOU!" she screamed.
The woman turned around and simply pointed a hand at Tory, knocking her backwards with and
invisible force.
"I think not."
And with that, she walked off.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Tory-san?" asked a worried voice.
Tory shook her head and looked at where the voice was. It was Omi. Of course.
"What?" she said coldly.
"Are you okay?" he asked, looking at her with his innocent blue eyes.
Tory picked up the arrangement she had been working on and set down the scissors. "I'm fine."
She maneuvered around Omi to the back of the shop. She hated people.
