Chapter 10: Captured

The next morning, Haruka awoke to hectic pounding against the door of her room. Groaning, the blonde sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes before she climbed out of the tangled mess that once had been her covers and walked over to the door, opening it. One of her Yakuza members stood in front of the door, looking up at her with a slight grin. "What is it?" the blonde grumbled, definitely not being a morning person. "We have the protection money you wanted." The guy replied, handing three thick envelopes to Haruka. The Yakuza boss started to grin while she took the objects, opened them and quickly counted the money that was inside. "Very well done." She then spoke, safely tugging the cash into the pocket of her pyjama. "Now, be so kind and give me five minutes…I need to get dressed." The guy nodded and quickly vanished, while Haruka closed the door. She started to dress herself when her cell phone rang, interrupting her. Letting out a sigh, the blonde dug the small phone out of her pocket and answered the call. "Yeah." She grunted impatiently, not sounding all-too-friendly. "Hey Tenoh." David's voice came from the other end of the line, and Haruka groaned and closed her eyes for a second. "What do you want now?" she then demanded to know while trying to button up her jeans with one hand. "Let me talk to my girl." David ordered, his voice called. His eyes though were glued to the computer screen where the tracking process was shown. "You dork, it's eight in the morning. You want me to wake her up?" Haruka replied, finally closing up her jeans and putting on her shoes. "Yes." David shot back, his voice shaking. "Let me talk to her!" Haruka sighed and finally nodded. "Fine." Hopefully they'll fight again, then Michiru will hate him even more. The blonde thought to herself, grinning while she walked out of her room and over to the one where Michiru was kept, unlocking it and entering. To her surprise, the aqua haired girl was already awake; she sat on her bed, reading the newspaper one of Harukas men had brought her. At the sound of Haruka entering, Michiru looked up, smiling at the sight of the blonde. Haruka smiled back before she handed the cell phone over to the aqua haired girl, rolled her eyes and mouthed "David". Michiru nodded and took the phone, while Haruka leaned against the desk just like she had done the last time. "Yes?" Michiru politely spoke, though she felt anger welling up inside her once more when David replied. "Michiru, it's me…we need to talk." "I don't know about what we could talk." Michiru coldly shot back. "You never talked to me much anyway, David, at least not much truth." David gritted his teeth for a second, his eyes still glued to the monitor. According to it, almost 50 percent of the tracking was done; only a little longer, and he would know where Haruka was hiding. "Listen, Michiru, I wanted to tell you." The blonde man now spoke, trying to sound as convincing as possible. "Really? When? I stumble upon it by accident?" the aqua haired girl replied, her voice shaking with held back anger and disappointment. "No." David answered, "as soon as possible. If I had known that Haruka would capture you and tell you shit about me, I would have told you earlier!" His eyes returned to the monitor, and a grin formed on his face. Tracking Process: 80%. "Well, now it's too late anyway." Michiru answered, trying to hide her sadness while she spoke on. "I had to find out that the one I love is a Yakuza boss, and I had to hear it from the mouth of a complete stranger." Haruka frowned at that, but her frown vanished when Michiru smiled at her and winked. Tracking Process: Complete. The monitor suddenly read, a bright red dot blinking on the map. David smiled broadly and pushed a button, saving a screenshot of the monitor to his computer. "Well, Michiru…let's continue this later. I'll see you again soon." With that, he hung up and pressed a button on the intercom that stood on his desk. "Get the men ready. We know where Tenoh hides. Prepare them for attack." He ordered, before he leaned back in his seat, grinning viciously.

The two men guarding the front door of Harukas HQ were busy chatting about the latest movie they had seen, when suddenly a group of men completely dressed in black, along with face masks, stormed out of the surrounding woods and opened the fire. Before the unlucky guards even had time to react, they were hit multiple times, falling to the ground dead. The men advanced into the building, knocking out or killing every member of Harukas Yakuza group they found. Most of them luckily were out doing business at that time, so the wastages weren't too high. Haruka though didn't stand a chance. The men surprised her in Michirus room; though she tried to fight them, one of them immediately made out her weak spot and punched her hurt shoulder, making her cry out in pain while she fell to her knees, blood staining her shirt. "Tie her up and get her into the car." The leader of the group ordered, two of his men stepping forward with bundles of ropes in their hands after he had finished. They quickly tied Haruka up before gagging and blindfolding her, dragging her out of the room and into the black van they had used to reach the hideout. The other men followed shortly after them, with Michiru in between them, climbed into their cars too and drove off.
