Chapter 11: Double Trouble
„Wake up." Haruka groaned at the harsh voice obviously addressing her, but finally forced herself to open her eyes, only to find herself face to face with David. "Welcome to my HQ, Tenoh." The tall blonde man now spoke, grinning at his prisoner. "Bastard…" Haruka moaned, the pain in her shoulder nearly driving her nuts. The fact that she was forced to stand with her arms chained above her head didn't help much. "Now, now." David replied, giving her a cruel smirk. "I shouldn't be the one who gets cursed by you. You more likely should curse Michiru, since she helped me to get you." Harukas head shot up at that, disbelief in her eyes. "You're lying." She finally pressed out between gritted teeth, refusing to believe what David told her. "No, I'm not. In fact, she knew from the beginning on what my real profession was. It was her job to get captured by you, so she can find out where your hideout is. Unfortunately, your men blindfolded her before bringing her there, but as you can see, we still found it." "Liar." Haruka replied, not wanting to hear anymore of this. Her heart filled with disappointment and grief at the thought of Michiru betraying her…it just couldn't be true. "Aww, did you grow to like my girl?" David now jeered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Too bad that she hates you with great passion, right? You should've seen her face when she finally came back to me. She was beaming, and…" "Shut up!" Haruka suddenly screamed at her captor, tucking at her restraints with all her might. "Just shut your fucking…" she never finished her sentence. Before she had a chance to avoid it, David had punched her, his fist crashing into her stomach. Haruka gasped in pain and cringed as far as the chains allowed it, the movement causing fresh pain to flame up in her shoulder. She groaned again, thick pearls of sweat forming on her brow. David just snorted at her and shook his head before he left the room, letting another man enter. Haruka looked up at him, her eyes filling with fear at the rolling table he brought in with himself. The objects that laid on it were obviously torture instruments, and Haruka didn't have to be a genius to know for whom they were meant. "Have fun, Boris. Oh, and remember…don't kill her unless I tell you to." Were David's last words before he was gone. Boris closed the door and turned around to look at Haruka, a cruel grin on his face, before he picked one of his instruments and approached her, his grin never leaving his face. Not even when Haruka started to scream.
Michirus head came up at the agonized scream that faintly echoed through the hallway; though it probably was quite far away, she still could hear it and recognized the voice. As if something had stung her, the aqua haired girl jumped up from the chair she had been sitting on and stormed out of the room – only to run into David, who grabbed her arms and smiled at her. "Now, now, not so fast, my dear." He spoke, only to earn a heated: "What are you doing to her?!" in return. The tall Yakuza boss smiled and led Michiru back into the room, closing the door behind him. "Not much, honey…just a little treatment." He then replied, his smile slightly widening while he casually sat down on the next best chair. Michiru glared at her boyfriend when she answered: "Sounds more like a lot of torture to me! You promised that you wouldn't hurt her!" David shrugged and leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs. "Well, it's not me who's hurting her, it's Boris. So I kept me promise." "David!" Michiru cried out, shocked at her boyfriends suddenly cold behaviour. "You lied to me again! I can't believe it…this is how you prove your love to me?" David just snorted and came to his feet again. "Seems like you're a little overheated, my dear." He then spoke, his eyes cold all of a sudden. "Maybe you should stay in here until you cooled off." With that, he roughly grabbed her and shoved her, making her fall to the ground. The aqua haired girl cried out in pain when she hit her coccyx, but David simply ignored it; he walked out of the room, slamming the door close and locking it. "David!" Michiru cried out at the sound of the key turning in the lock, jumping over and running to the door. "David, no! Let me out!" She never received an answer. David's steps moved away from the door, and soon there was silence outside. Finally, Michiru gave up on hitting the door with her fists and let herself fall down on the bed that stood in the room. She buried her face in the pillows and started to cry, suddenly wishing for nothing more than Harukas men to come and save their boss…and take her with them. At this moment, she didn't have the slightest clue that her wish should be fulfilled soon.
"That's enough, Boris." David spoke, entering the torture chamber. Boris looked at him pouting, putting the knife he held down. "Aw, but it so much fun." He then whined. "I said enough. You can continue later…we don't want her to die that fast, right, Haruka?" David replied, looking at the blonde who hung in the chains motionless with a grin. "Hey, the boss is talking to you!" Boris shouted at her, causing her to look up. Her face was covered in blood, some of it even matting her hair; her breath came in raspy, pain-filled gasps. "Fuck…off." She finally managed to whisper, before her head slumped forward again. David just chuckled and left the room with Boris, leaving the hurt Haruka behind alone.
