Unpredictable Fate
Chapter Ten
Kasumi opened her eyes and tried to sit up but it felt like electrical shots scattered throughout her body, so she just let her body droop back down.
"Try to lay down. You need rest,"said a women with a worried tone of voice. Kasumi rubbed her eyes to get back her vision then glanced over at the door. Ryu, Hayate, Hitomi, and Ayane all stood there with faces white as snow. Kasumi then noticed the women who had spoken was Ayane.
The four of the, walked in and sat in the chairs that surrounded the bed Kasumi lie in. "Where am I,"Kasumi mumbed, quietly looking around the room. There was a window behind her, the floor was white title, walls painted blue, and there was a cabinet next to the bed that had flowers placed on them.
"Your in intensive care. Hospital of Okinawa,"said Hitomi, wiggling uncomfortably in her chair.
"I'm sorry. I should have stood with you instead of going to the club. Cassia is----,"Ryu broke off, not wanted to say what happned to Cassia.
"Cassia, where is she?"Kasumi said, her voice trembling with fear. Ryu said nothing, he didn't even look her in the eyes. Kasumi looked at the flowers next to see who sent them, she pulled out a little card that was in the boquet. It read:
To:Kasumi Next time you won't live so don't get too happy. Oh yeah, I've got Cassia. I'll be back for the sword!! Love, Eric.
Love? What an idot, thought Kasumi as her jaw tensed and her left eye began to twitch. She crumbled the note and threw the boquet against the wall; the vase shattrered making a loud noise that made everyone jump. Kasumi slowly stood up, wobbling side to side as she did so. The door to the room swung open and what looked like a doctor rushed in and said egotistically," Yes I'm glad your able to stand. Now I want you to leave this hospital immediately. I was checking up on your bio and found out your a shinobi. We don't allow criminal shinobi's here. I'm sure another counrty would be glad to take you in, but apparently not us. So get out!!! Shoo Shoo".
Kasumi was just about to lunge herself at him but she could Ayane grabbed Kasumi's waist and pulled her away. "Burn in hell for this!!! Once I get back I'm gonna chop off your head and feed it to the birds,"yelled Kasumi as everyone exited the room leaving the doctor speachless.
At the outside of the emergency room, Ryu teleported the group back to their suite. Ayane quickly went to the living room and laid Kasumi on the couch.
"No!! I can't just sit here and wait on my ass for something to happen. Eric kidnapped my baby!! Guys come on lets go get her,"Kasumi said attempting to get up but kept falling down. Her legs were aching and had no force.
"Ryu!! Shes your daughter, are you just going to sit down and wait to hear someone say 'shes over there'?"Kasumi said with a towering temper. Kasumi looked at all of them who had their heads looking down at the ground as if they were ashamed. She wished they would all just drop dead, Chou was gone and they were showing no sign of carness.
Her waist and ribs were burning with pain and she felt them bleeding. Her face felt sore and bruised up. "If you think these injuries are going to stop me from getting Chou, then you couldn't be more wrong,"barked Kasumi, packing up all he strength she had at the moment and stood up.
Finally somone spoke: "Just shut-up!! All because you can stand doesn't mean you can go off searching for Chou. Ayane tried looking for her using her powers but whoever took her hid her so deep in that she couldn't see a vision. So shut-up and chill,"Hayate snapped hastily, walking over to the kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water,and then he gulped it down.
Hitomi was taken back by Hayates uneccesary behavior, Ryu was too hurt to say anything, and Ayane looked helpless as she was in the kitchen brewing herb potions for Kasumi wounds.
"You little smart-ass-bastard!!!!! I may be a person running away from my real according to you, but I am not going to sit here waiting for all you rejects to find a damn vision. You have no right to talk to me like that!! YES, I am a runaway shinobi but I am also your sister. A sister who made lots of sacrifices for you so Goken wouldn't beat you when we were children,"Kasumi said trying to calm down, but it wasn't working one bit. She was madly shaking all over her body and her face was as fierce as hawk.
"Ha!! Sacrifices? Don't make me laugh. I was always able to take care of myself. What about all the ones I've done for you? I lied to the clan saying you died, so your life would be easier for you. I may be the Mugen- tenshin leader but they still can kill me for trying to help a dirty runaway bitch like you,"Hayate spat as he slapped Kasumi who fell on the floor with a big thump.
Hitomi's eyes shot wide open as she clapped her mouth. Ayane stopped attending the pot of herbs and rushed out of the kitchen to help Kasumi stand up. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,"yelled Ayane. Ryu slowly and calmy walked over to Hayate.
"Hayate....I thought you better than that. Some friend you are,"Ryu said, annoying Hayate instantly.
"Well you thought wrong Hayabusa. Move aside. I should've done this a long time ago: turn her into the clan and if you don't let me I'll kill her right here right now,"Hayate retorted, ,walking toward Kasumi. Ryu quickly stood infront of his ex-friends way and said,"No won't be killing anyone unless you get pass me."
Hayate pushed Ryu onto the floor. Ryu stood up and charged Hayate into the wall, punching him as hard as he could all over his body. After getting a good beating, Hayate managed to grab one of Ryu's slow punches and he twisted the arm as far as he could. Then he put Ryu in a headlock and began to punch Ryu's head and ram it into the wall.
Hitomi, from behind Hayates back, kicked him straight through the wall. The wall was thin so it was pretty easy to break, so Hayate went flying into the room. Ryu fell out of Hayates tight grip and gasped for air. Hayate stood up and walked over to Hitomi. The suite was a mess. The collapsed wall filled the room with dust, the bedrooms were unfixed, and the sink had dirty cups piled up to the top.
Hayates copper eyes gazed into Hitomi's frighten crystal blue eyes."Whats gotten into you. Your not the Hayate I know,"Hitomi said shaking in fear.
"Then you don't know me,"Hayate breathed, quickly he then headbutted her. Hitomi felt the pain rush throughout her head, blood rushing out of the top of her forehead.
"How dare you. I thought you loved me,"Hitomi said with a deep, dramatic, wavering voice. She lifted her arm and punched him three times in the face, kicked his stomach, and jammed his head in her knee. Then she took off her ring and threw it at him. "Didn't your mama ever tell you whatever comes around goes back around?"Hitomi said walking away.
An hour had went by and no one had spoken. Hayate locked himself in his room, Ryu was sitting on the couch meditating, and hitomi was helping Ayane apply the herbs to Kasumi in Ryu's room. Kasumi sat on the bed looking out of the once broken window(probably the janitor fixed it or something, thought Kasumi).
Ayane put some of the herb potion on her finger and massaged it in Kasumi's pierced sides and cuts. She winced whenever Ayane stuck her finger in the slot space, it stung. "Hitomi........I'm really sorry. it was all my faul-,"Kasumi said being interrupted by Hitomi.
"Nothing is your fault. I don't know whats wrong with him. Listen, I know how you feel. If I had a daughter who was gone, I would do anyting to get her back. We are all scared. Done feel alone 'cause we all are here,"Hitomi caringly said, gently wrapping an elastic bandage around Kasumi's waist.
"Ayane, you only searched for Cassia. Her kidnapper has got to be gaurding her right? So search for Eric,"Kasumi said enthusiastically. Ayane nodded and closed her eyes. A few seconds later she happily stated,"Eric Lancaster. Blood type: Ab Blue Eyes. Blonde hair. Occupation: Hitman and he works for Goken. This chump is in Sendai, Japan right now but he is with a group of unidentified people, Goken, and Christie."
''So we can go to Sendai tomorrow!! I don't care if Goken or Christie are there I'm gonna get my baby,"Kasumi demanded, putting on her wrinkled blue blouse and jean mini skirt.
"Kasumi.....you know hayate is not going to come and remember what I said? Goken wants you to go to him for some reason, don't you see your falling into his trap!?!"Ayane explained as she stood up and walked over to the opened window so she could get some air. This all was making them old before their time, the atmosphere was full of tension and anger.
"I don't care about what Hayate does anymore. From now on he isn't my brother and I'm not his sister. And I'd rather fall into Gokens trap then to see Chou dead. Thats that,"Kasumi spat, concluding the conversation.
"True......well just relax. I going to go cook some rice and steak. save your energy, tomorrow you'll need it, Kasumi. Don't do anthing stupid like running away while were all alseep. Okay?"Hitomi insisted, turning her back on Kasumi,and trailing off out of the room with Ayane following.
So there she was sitting on her bed without a life. She was a runaway, someone who was loathed by most of the people she knew. Her eyes started anesthetizing, her body became heavy, and her soul was becoming tired. Tired, tired of what you ask?.........life.............
Kasumi's head rolled sideways ontop of her fluffy pillow. Her heart was shattered by Hayate and it felt like life was coming to an end. I have to get out of this nightmare, Kasumi repeated mentally to herself. If I don't get out of this nightmare I'll just disappear in the midst of the world. It feels so dark and lonely in me. I feel like a lost soul that doesn't have a purpose. Is this life? Is this what I have to go through in life? Why can't I be someone else?
Someone who can just fly into the air and soar wherever the wind takes them. Problems would be all gone and I would be surrounded by the peaceful wind beating on me. My life, this life, life in general. It can't be real. It can't possibly be. Can it? I'm sure if I wake up that Cassia, mom, Helena and her mother, and Hitomi's parents would all be back again.
I would be back in my mothers arms listening to the birds singing and watching the butterflies fly around. She would hug me and I would hug her back smelling her comforting vanilla scent. Looking into her dazzling hazel eyes, watching her butterscotch hair glide with the wind, and hearing her usual humming song would all make me feel safe once again.
She would always ask me to massage her back that was scared and beaten by Goken. I never did her that favor. I regret it all. Now I would do anything to massage her back and listen to her hum. but shes gone. I can't turn back. I can't look at her beautiful smile anymore. I can't feel safe in her arms anymore. I cant touch her skin or hum along with her. I can't lean my head on her breast or even hear calling my name. Shes gone. And I the fool that I am killed her. The one I loved more than anything, gone.
Cassia, I don't want to lose you. I wont lose you. But I'm afraid you'll lose me. Butterfly. Butterfly. Butterfly. Fly away. Spread your wings and be free. Soar with the wind and be free. Fly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Kasuumi. Kasumi. Kasuumi!!!! wake up. Do you want to go off to Sendai or no?"Ayane yelled softly as she pushed Kasumi who was fast asleep on her bed. It was ten past nine. Hitomi walked in, helped Kasumi to her feet and said,"You fell asleep last night. I didn't want to wake you up just so that you could eat. Well lets go Sendai awaits us. Kasumi took a shower, ate a big breakfeast, and rushed out with the gang outside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'll go check out. You guys wait out here,"Ryu told them before running through the automatic doors that lead to the lobby of the hotel.
''So how are we going to get there?Bus?Train?Plane?"Kasumi eagerly blurteed out as she clutched on Ayane's arm.
"Hold onto your panties girl!! We get there any possible way we can. Not plane. There aren't that many planes going to Sendai so Goken would know if we were there quickly. Then he'll come, blow up the place, and innocent people would die. But if we go by-,"Ayane stopped pointing out things that would happen if they went by plane and listened to Kasumi who had cut in her quote.
"Ayane! I thing I get it,"Kasumi yelled out, not wanting to hear anymore of everyones nonsence. She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. A jean dress that had a rip on the left side of it revealing Kasumi's voluptuous leg, blackflip-flops, and a black shirt that had a DOA tournament logo on it. Just then the doors to the lobby swung open and Ryu came running out,"Guys run for it"!!
The gang followed him all not knowing what was the point. Kasumi slightly turned her head back to see police men and cars chasing them. Almost falling, Kasumi struggled to keep up especially once they collided with the throngs of people on the sidewalk.(If you were trying to outrun policemen and their cars and your were wearing flip flops I bet you would have fell a long time ago, or at least I would LOL).
The people on the sidewalks were all rude and pushed them out of the way or just knocked them sideways with their shoulders. Good, since their is so many people tha police have no way of finding us, Ryu thought to himself just before he knocked someone down. ''Welcome. Welcome. We the city of Okinawa welcome you all to the South Fair. We've got contests, games, money prizes, shows, and guest appearances. Enjoy,"announced a guy in the middle of the street who was wearing a corny purple suit with oversized shoes.
"Wow that explains why there are so many people here,"Kasumi heard Hitomi whisper to herself. Kasumi and the rest were just about to cross the street to go to the other side but out of no where Hayate appeared holding a bazooka over his shoulder and it was pointing straight at him. He had a big smirk on his face and he was wearing a white polo shirt and long shirt.
"Hayate, don't does this. You can't. Please,"begged Hitomi tightning her fists in tension. He didn't turn to look at her, he just took out a gun with his free hand from out of his pocket and shot Hitomi the arm. The police cars had all caught up to them now. The festivals people were forced out of the way so the cars coudl fit in the street and surround the group.
"Freeze and put your hands up. Thats including the brunett with the bazooka, put the weapon down."shouted a policecman holding a gun, hiding behind his car. Hayate looked behind to see who was disturbing his "big moment". "Nando kate kemo shunjijita chigoo no sentai mare ka(made up gibberish),"muttered Ayane loudly, with her hand raised.
When she was done with the spell a silver gas came out and it quickly sprinkled the area. Then it disperesed after a few seconds. Everyone looked around to see if there was a difference. All the policmen, the festivals people, and Hayate were all stationery standing there like frozen statues.
"Its only temporary so lets go,"Ayane notified, walking down the street.
"What about Hitomi's injury,"Ryu reminded grabbing a hold off Ayane's arm to keep her from walking on. Ayane nodded and walked back to Hitomi, and hunched over the German who was now sprawled on the floor. Blood was streaming out of her arm and was begginning to shower the floor. Hitomi's eyes were scintalling with tears and her voice was shaky as she spoke,"Do something. It really hurts. I feel my veins inflating".
"Oh my gosh. This isn't just any bullet you got there. It had venom that enters the veins and inflates them until they all blow up. Its called Sam den,"Ayane laughed.
"Okay I appreciate that. I've always wanted to be educated and laughed at right before I died". Hitomi grumbled, rolling to her side. Her copper hair spilled sideways onto the floor and covered her scared face. Ayane bent down to the gash in Hitomi and suck her teeth into it. Hitomi winced as she felt the teeth go inside her arm,"What are you doing". Ayane didn't say anything. Hitomi could feel the bullet rising from her inside. It was moving itself around blood vessels and muscles, making the pain intense.
Ayane sprung up to her feet ,took her teeth out of the wound, and wiped her mouth with her long pink sleeved blouse. Just then the bullet came out and fell to the ground. Hitomi moved her head and had one eye open while the other close."Am I dead? Are you God?" Kasumi, Ryu, and Ayane looked at eachother and rasied an eyebrow.
"Um sorry to burst your bubble Hitomi but your still in this hell- hole,''Ryu said, kneeling down to Hitomi and brushing out the air the was in her face.
"Oh damn,"Hitomi skeptically moaned, getting up to her feet with the help of Ryu. Ayane yanked off the pink bandana and wrapped it around Hitomi's arm. "Your fine. I'm not called Purple Venom just 'cause it sounds cool ya know,"Ayane defended, herself that is.
"Who said it was cool".Kasumi joked and response Ayane just rolled her eyes.
"Anyways like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. Goken taught me all this sorcery crap and I have purple venom in me. So I put my venom in Hitomi's body cancelling out what she had in her. Now enough chit chat lets round it up and get out of here. Thats freezing spell doesn't last forever,"Ayane uttered. Everyone agreed and began to walk down the street.
They kept on until they reached a dead end. "Great not what. Do you really assume that we should jump over,"Ryu said giving Ayane a big smirk on her face.
"Awesome idea c'mon,"Ayane approved, jumping over the white painted twelve foot wall.
"Holy shit. Oof,"Ayane yelped. "Oh my gosh that was so cool! Get your asses down here guys,"Ayane cried out.
Kasumi shrugged, jumped up, grabbed the tip of the top, and threw herself over. Ryu lifed Hitomi and teleported down. "You know you could have just teleported,"Ryu arrogantly told Ayane.
"Ugh whats so fun about teleporting?"Ayane responded.
They looked around and saw that they were in a blue painted boat. It had wooden floors with stairs that lead to a lower level. The sky was clear and Ayane has a big smirk on her face, meaning that she had another plan.
She looked around to see if anyone around. The other boats were neatly parked next to eachother and there wasn't a soul in sight. "Ohh what do we have here. A key. In a key hole. That turns on the boat.Hmmmmm I wonder what'll happen if I turned the key,"Ayane laughed, tip toeing towards the steering wheel, and turning the key.
"Muahah hah aha ahha". Ayane drove the boat out of its parking lot and into the sea. "Hey bring that back its mine. You can't take it,"protested an old man on the shoreline.
Ayane flickedd him off and went faster. "AYANE!!!! Have you gone mad?"Hitomi said, rigid with shock. The wind was coarse and blew roughly into all of their faces. Ayane's violet hair propelled itself all over her face. The water was beating against the boat that was driving at a moderate speed, now that they were far from land. Ayane was shaking her butt as drove she along while the other three went to the lower level. The only thing down there was the bathroom and one bedroom. The walls and floors were wood that looked rotted and old. It was dark and cockaroaches crawled on its every corner.
"Maybe we should just sleep upstairs on the benches. Like hobos". The runaway shinboi quickly closed the door shut and ran up to the upper level. "Guys, I checked if we were going the right way and we are. We'll be in Japan's shoreline tomorrow. If your hungry then eat the snacks that I have in my backpack,"Ayane pointed over to the old beaten backpack that was lain on the floor. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wake up. We're here,"Ayane bellowed, shaking them until the woke up. They washed their mouths, changed clothes, and got off the boat. Kasumi attacthed her sword to her baggy jeans, tied her hair into a sloppy ponytail, and ran off to catch up with the rest. The city was a rowdy place that had lots of shops and markets. People were scattered throughout each inch of the place and there was cars parked on the side of the streets.
"Hey Hayabusa. Why'd we run from the hotel like that,"Ayane asked reparing her wrinkled shirt.
''The people at the counter said that the DOA card had long expired and she wanted me to pay the negative 2ooo dollars it had. I told her that I didn't have any money. So then in come the police saying that I killed someone. I resisted arrest and ran out. What are we going to do here? You know that Sendai is across the country going north,"Ryu denounced.
Ayane had another sneer on her face as she walked pass a black porshe , sliding her finger on its edge. "No. No. Ayane no. We've stole something already. How low can you go."Kasumi resisted, being knocked sideways by a person who rushed by. Ayane raised an eyebrow and laughed,"You really want to know how low I can go?" Kasumi shook her head. "Too bad,"Ayane giggled as she let a laser come out of her hand. It entered the key hole and after a few seconds the door clicked open.
At fisrt everyone resisted but then decided they were in enough trouble so why not? Inside the black porshe the seats were leather, it had a television, and a navagational system. "Prepare to have the time of your life". Ayane turned on the car using the laser and drove out of the parking. At first it was just a simple average 35 MPH but it seemed Ayane was a "little" bored so she went just a few miles higher.........a few meaning 140 MPH. They all got pushed back against their seats as the insane driver raced down the small streets. People were screaming and running out of the porshes way.
The police popped out of a corner and chased Ayane. "I've always wanted to do this. Hahahah *snort* hahahah *snort*,"Ayane chortled. She truned left, then right, and another right. Police cars were comming from each corner of the area and rrge regular traffic was stopped. Camera men and news reporters came lopping out and started to broadcast the scene.
"Hey were on t.v,"Ayane grinned, slipping off her skirt and panties, then she stuck her butt out of the window mooning the camera. She stopped fooling around and drove into a narrow valley cutting the amount of cars chasing them. Then she drove up a ramp that drove off a 3 foot building. They landed almost tilting over upside down and drove down the highway.
"I.....am......never.....EVER......getting in a car with you again"Ryu panted, gripping on his seat belt tightly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ryu had his head leaning against the cars glass window and he looked tremendously worried. His eyes were red from a lack of sleep, he had a beard, and his dark brown locks of hair fell down to his waist. Kasumi held his hand and put her head on his broad large shoulder. Ryu lazily took his head off of the window and stared at Kasumi. His eyes were watery and swollen.
"Whats wrong,"whispered Kasumi.
She didn't want to wake up Hitomi. Ayane was listening to the Evanescence Cd on her earphones so she wouldn't be disturbed. Ryu scratcheed his hairy itchy chin and calmly said,"Nothing much. Just thinking thats all."
Kasumi frowned and argued,"Don't lie to me. It looks like you haven't slept for days. You've been way too calm and haven't shaved. You used to always shave. You haven't even said anything about Cassia."
Ryu slowly turned his head back towards the window and looked at the view. The high way lights flew by as the car drove, and there was only a couple other cars. The sky was dark and the time was around one in the morning. Kasumi looked at his reflection and saw tears prickling down his face. Ryu never showed his weakness and always thought people who did weren't worthy shinobi. Thats another reason Kasumi never liked crying. It made her look weak when in reality she wasn't.
"Chou......yeah. I've thought about her. Thats all I ever think about now. I never knew my parents. Some people say they went for a vacation and others say that they commited suicide. I was an orphane until I was 6. They just threw me out of the ophanage like I was garbage. Non- shinobi have never respected shinobi's. I ate trash to stay alive and educated myself by reaading books that were thrown away. When I got older I hid in an abandoned temple in the Shaolin temple. I would sleep, eat, and cry there. The monks preaches would fill the air and I was amazed by their preaches. I always wanted to be a monk. I would steal a paper and a pencil from whoever was foolish enough to pass by me, and I would write down all the verses they said.
One time I was reading them alloud and an old lady heard me. She was in love with them and decided to adopt me. Thats when I took all my shinobi listens and had the love I lacked. I began to write my own preaches since then. But the love she gave me was out of my preaches not me, thats what hurts. When Cassia gets older and she asks me what I did when I was her age what do I say? I ate trash and saw hundreds of people get murdered? The only way I got attention was if I preached? Now that Chou's gone I won't even be able to say anything at all. I probably won't even see her again.
My best friend has betrayed us, the clan is trying to kill you, I never knew my family. Kasumi, its not worth living for. There isn't any happiness. There won't be happiness. I know Ayane is only trying to cheer us all up. I mean imagine how she must feel. She was drugged by her own father her whole life. Is this all worth living for. Is life worth living for?"Ryu solemnly said wiping his tears off of his face with his shirt.
Kasumi was left with her mouth hanging open and she was absolutely speechless. She never knew Ryu's past, never knew what he went through. Was getting pregnate the right thing to do, Kasumi thought.
She pulleed off her scrunchy letting her hair flow down and she murmured quietly,"Ryu.........you are not a person to give up. I've known you my whole life and never do I remember you giving up. We will get Chou back. Wheter I die trying, we will get her. We can just start all over again. Go to another counrty if we have to. Whatever. But believe me, when you see her face again you will think life was worth living for. We all have a purpose in the world. We just have to wait until we find that purpose. Just promise me you will raise her to be a bold women."
Ryu looked at her with a perplexed expression. His eyes were full of tears that refused to fall out and as he spoke his voice shook,"Kasumi..........you won't doe. I will not raise her. WE will raise her, together. Whatever your planning please tell me".
Kasumi made a slight grin and sighed,"All I can say is that I will do what mother told me to do. Which was to prove all of the shinobi wrong. That becomming a runaway is worth it. You have to take one step at a time. Have you ever even been your age? Have you ever enjoyed anything".
"Kasumi its not about me."Ryu said opening his mouth to let more words come out, but they didn't. She was right. He always acted older than he was and never really had fun without Cassia or Kasumi. Kasumi put her index finger up to his lips and breathed,"Shhhhhhhh. Try to sleep, you really need it. Were together and as long as we are we can withstand anything." And with that Ryu closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Man, I'm so glad we stopped at this hotsprings area. I was dying for a bath,"Hitomi yawned as she stepped in the hotspring that was steaming.
"Looks like its going to rain. Oh well. We so deserve this hotspring. They even have a mini bar over there. Remindes me of the DOA suites,"Kasumi said pointing towards the mini bar that was shaped like a house. The area was deserted and was surrounded by the bamboo forest. The thin braches of bamboo gently brushed against eachother for support as the wind blew.
The water was clear and beautiful stones outlined the spring. Ayane was in a little corner being unusually quiet while Hitomi was going on about how badly she needed this. Kasumi turned her back on the girls and faced the bamboo wall thet divided the boys hotspring from the girls.
"Hey Hayabusa!! Whatcha up to,"Kasumi contentedly said.
"Yeah Im fine. I'm shaving. Beautiful place right?"
"Very beautiful. Need help with your hair?"
"Come on over. I was getting sick of that long hair".
Kasumi stood up letting the drops of water run down all the womenly curves of her body. Her hair was sodden and looked once again clean and healthy. She walked out of the womens hotspring and walked over to the mens.
She looked at the new and improved Ryu. His face was clear and looked handsome and young again. His jade green eyes were fully visible now, and his dark brown hair floated on the water.
"I got the scissors here,"Ryu innocently said. Kasumi swam towards him and threw the scissors he had in his hand a coupl feet away.
"Ryu do you love me?'
Ryu grinned and licked his upper lip," I love you more than anything. Do you love me?"
"Oh, I love you more than my own life".
Ryu couldn't help but plant a set of kisses down her neck and collarbone.
"I love when you do that,"Kasumi whispered in his ear.
"Do what this?'' Ryu asked kissing Kasumi's neck once more.
"My neck isn't my mouth you know,"Kasumi slyly persuaded.
"Yeah I know,"Ryu said staring at her lips with deep thoughts.
Ryuy cooly locked his lips with her, sucking on her lower lip. After a few minutes their tongues met and "hugged" continually. Still kissing, Kasumi grabbs on Ryu's shoulders and begins to passionately feel on them. Ryu stopped kissing her her and lifed her lef around his waist and he entered his manhood in her slwoly and cautioulsy. He continued to push himself in and out enjoying each blow.
"Wait. Wait. Ryu stop it!!!!!"Kasumi shouted, but Ryu continued and went faster. She raised her hand and karate chopped the side of his head. "RYU,"Kasumi quizzically demanded, clenching her teeth.
"I'm sorry. Forgive me. I got carrieed away. Its just that its been so long since the last time we last........you know,"Ryu mumbled turning his face away from her in ashament.
"Its not you. I mean it was.....er.....good. Its just that Its wrong to do something like then when we know good and well that our daughter is under the hands of criminals. I'm sorry. I'm starting to have regrets about Cassia. We should have never done what we did. We probabaly be much happier, , no?"Kasumi asked almost crying.
"C'mon now. We should be proud. This is a life expirience that is only going to help us mature as a person. Cassia has helped our lives,"Ryu said hugging Kasumi.
"Now lets do your hair",Kasumi said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wow Ryu thats a good look for you,"Hitomi complimented as she brought her cup upto her lips and took a sip.
"Er, thanks".
He stared at himself in the mirror to see what was so interesting about him. His hair was short and spiked with blonde highlights, he looked his age, and his eyes shun brightly. Ha, if Hayate saw me know he would be so jealous, Ryu obnoxioulsy thought. Ayane came prancing from the mini bar with a burger in one hand and a Coke in another.
"K guys, we have to gulp this down so we can leave asap and whoa who is the hottie you peeps picked up,"Ayane shouted, nearly dropping her buger, stopping dead in her tracks at the sight of Ryu. He was wearing a red tank top, with baggy jeans, and K.Swiss sneakers. Ayane stared at him form his head to his toes and back up again.
"Its Ryu who else would it be"Hitomi said, taking a bite out if her chicken finger.
"Oh my gosh. Ryu!! I couldn't tell the difference between you and Pual Walker. Now lets go,"Ayane laughed.
"Ah ah ah ah. Where do you think your going. No where I hope. The fun has just began,"said someone, clearly a man. When Kasumi turned there standing was a man wearing a army suit and had a gun wrapped around him.

Unpredictable Fate
Chapter Ten
Kasumi opened her eyes and tried to sit up but it felt like electrical shots scattered throughout her body, so she just let her body droop back down.
"Try to lay down. You need rest,"said a women with a worried tone of voice. Kasumi rubbed her eyes to get back her vision then glanced over at the door. Ryu, Hayate, Hitomi, and Ayane all stood there with faces white as snow. Kasumi then noticed the women who had spoken was Ayane.
The four of the, walked in and sat in the chairs that surrounded the bed Kasumi lie in. "Where am I,"Kasumi mumbed, quietly looking around the room. There was a window behind her, the floor was white title, walls painted blue, and there was a cabinet next to the bed that had flowers placed on them.
"Your in intensive care. Hospital of Okinawa,"said Hitomi, wiggling uncomfortably in her chair.
"I'm sorry. I should have stood with you instead of going to the club. Cassia is----,"Ryu broke off, not wanted to say what happned to Cassia.
"Cassia, where is she?"Kasumi said, her voice trembling with fear. Ryu said nothing, he didn't even look her in the eyes. Kasumi looked at the flowers next to see who sent them, she pulled out a little card that was in the boquet. It read:
To:Kasumi Next time you won't live so don't get too happy. Oh yeah, I've got Cassia. I'll be back for the sword!! Love, Eric.
Love? What an idot, thought Kasumi as her jaw tensed and her left eye began to twitch. She crumbled the note and threw the boquet against the wall; the vase shattrered making a loud noise that made everyone jump. Kasumi slowly stood up, wobbling side to side as she did so. The door to the room swung open and what looked like a doctor rushed in and said egotistically," Yes I'm glad your able to stand. Now I want you to leave this hospital immediately. I was checking up on your bio and found out your a shinobi. We don't allow criminal shinobi's here. I'm sure another counrty would be glad to take you in, but apparently not us. So get out!!! Shoo Shoo".
Kasumi was just about to lunge herself at him but she could Ayane grabbed Kasumi's waist and pulled her away. "Burn in hell for this!!! Once I get back I'm gonna chop off your head and feed it to the birds,"yelled Kasumi as everyone exited the room leaving the doctor speachless.
At the outside of the emergency room, Ryu teleported the group back to their suite. Ayane quickly went to the living room and laid Kasumi on the couch.
"No!! I can't just sit here and wait on my ass for something to happen. Eric kidnapped my baby!! Guys come on lets go get her,"Kasumi said attempting to get up but kept falling down. Her legs were aching and had no force.
"Ryu!! Shes your daughter, are you just going to sit down and wait to hear someone say 'shes over there'?"Kasumi said with a towering temper. Kasumi looked at all of them who had their heads looking down at the ground as if they were ashamed. She wished they would all just drop dead, Chou was gone and they were showing no sign of carness.
Her waist and ribs were burning with pain and she felt them bleeding. Her face felt sore and bruised up. "If you think these injuries are going to stop me from getting Chou, then you couldn't be more wrong,"barked Kasumi, packing up all he strength she had at the moment and stood up.
Finally somone spoke: "Just shut-up!! All because you can stand doesn't mean you can go off searching for Chou. Ayane tried looking for her using her powers but whoever took her hid her so deep in that she couldn't see a vision. So shut-up and chill,"Hayate snapped hastily, walking over to the kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water,and then he gulped it down.
Hitomi was taken back by Hayates uneccesary behavior, Ryu was too hurt to say anything, and Ayane looked helpless as she was in the kitchen brewing herb potions for Kasumi wounds.
"You little smart-ass-bastard!!!!! I may be a person running away from my real according to you, but I am not going to sit here waiting for all you rejects to find a damn vision. You have no right to talk to me like that!! YES, I am a runaway shinobi but I am also your sister. A sister who made lots of sacrifices for you so Goken wouldn't beat you when we were children,"Kasumi said trying to calm down, but it wasn't working one bit. She was madly shaking all over her body and her face was as fierce as hawk.
"Ha!! Sacrifices? Don't make me laugh. I was always able to take care of myself. What about all the ones I've done for you? I lied to the clan saying you died, so your life would be easier for you. I may be the Mugen- tenshin leader but they still can kill me for trying to help a dirty runaway bitch like you,"Hayate spat as he slapped Kasumi who fell on the floor with a big thump.
Hitomi's eyes shot wide open as she clapped her mouth. Ayane stopped attending the pot of herbs and rushed out of the kitchen to help Kasumi stand up. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,"yelled Ayane. Ryu slowly and calmy walked over to Hayate.
"Hayate....I thought you better than that. Some friend you are,"Ryu said, annoying Hayate instantly.
"Well you thought wrong Hayabusa. Move aside. I should've done this a long time ago: turn her into the clan and if you don't let me I'll kill her right here right now,"Hayate retorted, ,walking toward Kasumi. Ryu quickly stood infront of his ex-friends way and said,"No won't be killing anyone unless you get pass me."
Hayate pushed Ryu onto the floor. Ryu stood up and charged Hayate into the wall, punching him as hard as he could all over his body. After getting a good beating, Hayate managed to grab one of Ryu's slow punches and he twisted the arm as far as he could. Then he put Ryu in a headlock and began to punch Ryu's head and ram it into the wall.
Hitomi, from behind Hayates back, kicked him straight through the wall. The wall was thin so it was pretty easy to break, so Hayate went flying into the room. Ryu fell out of Hayates tight grip and gasped for air. Hayate stood up and walked over to Hitomi. The suite was a mess. The collapsed wall filled the room with dust, the bedrooms were unfixed, and the sink had dirty cups piled up to the top.
Hayates copper eyes gazed into Hitomi's frighten crystal blue eyes."Whats gotten into you. Your not the Hayate I know,"Hitomi said shaking in fear.
"Then you don't know me,"Hayate breathed, quickly he then headbutted her. Hitomi felt the pain rush throughout her head, blood rushing out of the top of her forehead.
"How dare you. I thought you loved me,"Hitomi said with a deep, dramatic, wavering voice. She lifted her arm and punched him three times in the face, kicked his stomach, and jammed his head in her knee. Then she took off her ring and threw it at him. "Didn't your mama ever tell you whatever comes around goes back around?"Hitomi said walking away.
An hour had went by and no one had spoken. Hayate locked himself in his room, Ryu was sitting on the couch meditating, and hitomi was helping Ayane apply the herbs to Kasumi in Ryu's room. Kasumi sat on the bed looking out of the once broken window(probably the janitor fixed it or something, thought Kasumi).
Ayane put some of the herb potion on her finger and massaged it in Kasumi's pierced sides and cuts. She winced whenever Ayane stuck her finger in the slot space, it stung. "Hitomi........I'm really sorry. it was all my faul-,"Kasumi said being interrupted by Hitomi.
"Nothing is your fault. I don't know whats wrong with him. Listen, I know how you feel. If I had a daughter who was gone, I would do anyting to get her back. We are all scared. Done feel alone 'cause we all are here,"Hitomi caringly said, gently wrapping an elastic bandage around Kasumi's waist.
"Ayane, you only searched for Cassia. Her kidnapper has got to be gaurding her right? So search for Eric,"Kasumi said enthusiastically. Ayane nodded and closed her eyes. A few seconds later she happily stated,"Eric Lancaster. Blood type: Ab Blue Eyes. Blonde hair. Occupation: Hitman and he works for Goken. This chump is in Sendai, Japan right now but he is with a group of unidentified people, Goken, and Christie."
''So we can go to Sendai tomorrow!! I don't care if Goken or Christie are there I'm gonna get my baby,"Kasumi demanded, putting on her wrinkled blue blouse and jean mini skirt.
"Kasumi.....you know hayate is not going to come and remember what I said? Goken wants you to go to him for some reason, don't you see your falling into his trap!?!"Ayane explained as she stood up and walked over to the opened window so she could get some air. This all was making them old before their time, the atmosphere was full of tension and anger.
"I don't care about what Hayate does anymore. From now on he isn't my brother and I'm not his sister. And I'd rather fall into Gokens trap then to see Chou dead. Thats that,"Kasumi spat, concluding the conversation.
"True......well just relax. I going to go cook some rice and steak. save your energy, tomorrow you'll need it, Kasumi. Don't do anthing stupid like running away while were all alseep. Okay?"Hitomi insisted, turning her back on Kasumi,and trailing off out of the room with Ayane following.
So there she was sitting on her bed without a life. She was a runaway, someone who was loathed by most of the people she knew. Her eyes started anesthetizing, her body became heavy, and her soul was becoming tired. Tired, tired of what you ask?.........life.............
Kasumi's head rolled sideways ontop of her fluffy pillow. Her heart was shattered by Hayate and it felt like life was coming to an end. I have to get out of this nightmare, Kasumi repeated mentally to herself. If I don't get out of this nightmare I'll just disappear in the midst of the world. It feels so dark and lonely in me. I feel like a lost soul that doesn't have a purpose. Is this life? Is this what I have to go through in life? Why can't I be someone else?
Someone who can just fly into the air and soar wherever the wind takes them. Problems would be all gone and I would be surrounded by the peaceful wind beating on me. My life, this life, life in general. It can't be real. It can't possibly be. Can it? I'm sure if I wake up that Cassia, mom, Helena and her mother, and Hitomi's parents would all be back again.
I would be back in my mothers arms listening to the birds singing and watching the butterflies fly around. She would hug me and I would hug her back smelling her comforting vanilla scent. Looking into her dazzling hazel eyes, watching her butterscotch hair glide with the wind, and hearing her usual humming song would all make me feel safe once again.
She would always ask me to massage her back that was scared and beaten by Goken. I never did her that favor. I regret it all. Now I would do anything to massage her back and listen to her hum. but shes gone. I can't turn back. I can't look at her beautiful smile anymore. I can't feel safe in her arms anymore. I cant touch her skin or hum along with her. I can't lean my head on her breast or even hear calling my name. Shes gone. And I the fool that I am killed her. The one I loved more than anything, gone.
Cassia, I don't want to lose you. I wont lose you. But I'm afraid you'll lose me. Butterfly. Butterfly. Butterfly. Fly away. Spread your wings and be free. Soar with the wind and be free. Fly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Kasuumi. Kasumi. Kasuumi!!!! wake up. Do you want to go off to Sendai or no?"Ayane yelled softly as she pushed Kasumi who was fast asleep on her bed. It was ten past nine. Hitomi walked in, helped Kasumi to her feet and said,"You fell asleep last night. I didn't want to wake you up just so that you could eat. Well lets go Sendai awaits us. Kasumi took a shower, ate a big breakfeast, and rushed out with the gang outside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'll go check out. You guys wait out here,"Ryu told them before running through the automatic doors that lead to the lobby of the hotel.
''So how are we going to get there?Bus?Train?Plane?"Kasumi eagerly blurteed out as she clutched on Ayane's arm.
"Hold onto your panties girl!! We get there any possible way we can. Not plane. There aren't that many planes going to Sendai so Goken would know if we were there quickly. Then he'll come, blow up the place, and innocent people would die. But if we go by-,"Ayane stopped pointing out things that would happen if they went by plane and listened to Kasumi who had cut in her quote.
"Ayane! I thing I get it,"Kasumi yelled out, not wanting to hear anymore of everyones nonsence. She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. A jean dress that had a rip on the left side of it revealing Kasumi's voluptuous leg, blackflip-flops, and a black shirt that had a DOA tournament logo on it. Just then the doors to the lobby swung open and Ryu came running out,"Guys run for it"!!
The gang followed him all not knowing what was the point. Kasumi slightly turned her head back to see police men and cars chasing them. Almost falling, Kasumi struggled to keep up especially once they collided with the throngs of people on the sidewalk.(If you were trying to outrun policemen and their cars and your were wearing flip flops I bet you would have fell a long time ago, or at least I would LOL).
The people on the sidewalks were all rude and pushed them out of the way or just knocked them sideways with their shoulders. Good, since their is so many people tha police have no way of finding us, Ryu thought to himself just before he knocked someone down. ''Welcome. Welcome. We the city of Okinawa welcome you all to the South Fair. We've got contests, games, money prizes, shows, and guest appearances. Enjoy,"announced a guy in the middle of the street who was wearing a corny purple suit with oversized shoes.
"Wow that explains why there are so many people here,"Kasumi heard Hitomi whisper to herself. Kasumi and the rest were just about to cross the street to go to the other side but out of no where Hayate appeared holding a bazooka over his shoulder and it was pointing straight at him. He had a big smirk on his face and he was wearing a white polo shirt and long shirt.
"Hayate, don't does this. You can't. Please,"begged Hitomi tightning her fists in tension. He didn't turn to look at her, he just took out a gun with his free hand from out of his pocket and shot Hitomi the arm. The police cars had all caught up to them now. The festivals people were forced out of the way so the cars coudl fit in the street and surround the group.
"Freeze and put your hands up. Thats including the brunett with the bazooka, put the weapon down."shouted a policecman holding a gun, hiding behind his car. Hayate looked behind to see who was disturbing his "big moment". "Nando kate kemo shunjijita chigoo no sentai mare ka(made up gibberish),"muttered Ayane loudly, with her hand raised.
When she was done with the spell a silver gas came out and it quickly sprinkled the area. Then it disperesed after a few seconds. Everyone looked around to see if there was a difference. All the policmen, the festivals people, and Hayate were all stationery standing there like frozen statues.
"Its only temporary so lets go,"Ayane notified, walking down the street.
"What about Hitomi's injury,"Ryu reminded grabbing a hold off Ayane's arm to keep her from walking on. Ayane nodded and walked back to Hitomi, and hunched over the German who was now sprawled on the floor. Blood was streaming out of her arm and was begginning to shower the floor. Hitomi's eyes were scintalling with tears and her voice was shaky as she spoke,"Do something. It really hurts. I feel my veins inflating".
"Oh my gosh. This isn't just any bullet you got there. It had venom that enters the veins and inflates them until they all blow up. Its called Sam den,"Ayane laughed.
"Okay I appreciate that. I've always wanted to be educated and laughed at right before I died". Hitomi grumbled, rolling to her side. Her copper hair spilled sideways onto the floor and covered her scared face. Ayane bent down to the gash in Hitomi and suck her teeth into it. Hitomi winced as she felt the teeth go inside her arm,"What are you doing". Ayane didn't say anything. Hitomi could feel the bullet rising from her inside. It was moving itself around blood vessels and muscles, making the pain intense.
Ayane sprung up to her feet ,took her teeth out of the wound, and wiped her mouth with her long pink sleeved blouse. Just then the bullet came out and fell to the ground. Hitomi moved her head and had one eye open while the other close."Am I dead? Are you God?" Kasumi, Ryu, and Ayane looked at eachother and rasied an eyebrow.
"Um sorry to burst your bubble Hitomi but your still in this hell- hole,''Ryu said, kneeling down to Hitomi and brushing out the air the was in her face.
"Oh damn,"Hitomi skeptically moaned, getting up to her feet with the help of Ryu. Ayane yanked off the pink bandana and wrapped it around Hitomi's arm. "Your fine. I'm not called Purple Venom just 'cause it sounds cool ya know,"Ayane defended, herself that is.
"Who said it was cool".Kasumi joked and response Ayane just rolled her eyes.
"Anyways like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. Goken taught me all this sorcery crap and I have purple venom in me. So I put my venom in Hitomi's body cancelling out what she had in her. Now enough chit chat lets round it up and get out of here. Thats freezing spell doesn't last forever,"Ayane uttered. Everyone agreed and began to walk down the street.
They kept on until they reached a dead end. "Great not what. Do you really assume that we should jump over,"Ryu said giving Ayane a big smirk on her face.
"Awesome idea c'mon,"Ayane approved, jumping over the white painted twelve foot wall.
"Holy shit. Oof,"Ayane yelped. "Oh my gosh that was so cool! Get your asses down here guys,"Ayane cried out.
Kasumi shrugged, jumped up, grabbed the tip of the top, and threw herself over. Ryu lifed Hitomi and teleported down. "You know you could have just teleported,"Ryu arrogantly told Ayane.
"Ugh whats so fun about teleporting?"Ayane responded.
They looked around and saw that they were in a blue painted boat. It had wooden floors with stairs that lead to a lower level. The sky was clear and Ayane has a big smirk on her face, meaning that she had another plan.
She looked around to see if anyone around. The other boats were neatly parked next to eachother and there wasn't a soul in sight. "Ohh what do we have here. A key. In a key hole. That turns on the boat.Hmmmmm I wonder what'll happen if I turned the key,"Ayane laughed, tip toeing towards the steering wheel, and turning the key.
"Muahah hah aha ahha". Ayane drove the boat out of its parking lot and into the sea. "Hey bring that back its mine. You can't take it,"protested an old man on the shoreline.
Ayane flickedd him off and went faster. "AYANE!!!! Have you gone mad?"Hitomi said, rigid with shock. The wind was coarse and blew roughly into all of their faces. Ayane's violet hair propelled itself all over her face. The water was beating against the boat that was driving at a moderate speed, now that they were far from land. Ayane was shaking her butt as drove she along while the other three went to the lower level. The only thing down there was the bathroom and one bedroom. The walls and floors were wood that looked rotted and old. It was dark and cockaroaches crawled on its every corner.
"Maybe we should just sleep upstairs on the benches. Like hobos". The runaway shinboi quickly closed the door shut and ran up to the upper level. "Guys, I checked if we were going the right way and we are. We'll be in Japan's shoreline tomorrow. If your hungry then eat the snacks that I have in my backpack,"Ayane pointed over to the old beaten backpack that was lain on the floor. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wake up. We're here,"Ayane bellowed, shaking them until the woke up. They washed their mouths, changed clothes, and got off the boat. Kasumi attacthed her sword to her baggy jeans, tied her hair into a sloppy ponytail, and ran off to catch up with the rest. The city was a rowdy place that had lots of shops and markets. People were scattered throughout each inch of the place and there was cars parked on the side of the streets.
"Hey Hayabusa. Why'd we run from the hotel like that,"Ayane asked reparing her wrinkled shirt.
''The people at the counter said that the DOA card had long expired and she wanted me to pay the negative 2ooo dollars it had. I told her that I didn't have any money. So then in come the police saying that I killed someone. I resisted arrest and ran out. What are we going to do here? You know that Sendai is across the country going north,"Ryu denounced.
Ayane had another sneer on her face as she walked pass a black porshe , sliding her finger on its edge. "No. No. Ayane no. We've stole something already. How low can you go."Kasumi resisted, being knocked sideways by a person who rushed by. Ayane raised an eyebrow and laughed,"You really want to know how low I can go?" Kasumi shook her head. "Too bad,"Ayane giggled as she let a laser come out of her hand. It entered the key hole and after a few seconds the door clicked open.
At fisrt everyone resisted but then decided they were in enough trouble so why not? Inside the black porshe the seats were leather, it had a television, and a navagational system. "Prepare to have the time of your life". Ayane turned on the car using the laser and drove out of the parking. At first it was just a simple average 35 MPH but it seemed Ayane was a "little" bored so she went just a few miles higher.........a few meaning 140 MPH. They all got pushed back against their seats as the insane driver raced down the small streets. People were screaming and running out of the porshes way.
The police popped out of a corner and chased Ayane. "I've always wanted to do this. Hahahah *snort* hahahah *snort*,"Ayane chortled. She truned left, then right, and another right. Police cars were comming from each corner of the area and rrge regular traffic was stopped. Camera men and news reporters came lopping out and started to broadcast the scene.
"Hey were on t.v,"Ayane grinned, slipping off her skirt and panties, then she stuck her butt out of the window mooning the camera. She stopped fooling around and drove into a narrow valley cutting the amount of cars chasing them. Then she drove up a ramp that drove off a 3 foot building. They landed almost tilting over upside down and drove down the highway.
"I.....am......never.....EVER......getting in a car with you again"Ryu panted, gripping on his seat belt tightly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ryu had his head leaning against the cars glass window and he looked tremendously worried. His eyes were red from a lack of sleep, he had a beard, and his dark brown locks of hair fell down to his waist. Kasumi held his hand and put her head on his broad large shoulder. Ryu lazily took his head off of the window and stared at Kasumi. His eyes were watery and swollen.
"Whats wrong,"whispered Kasumi.
She didn't want to wake up Hitomi. Ayane was listening to the Evanescence Cd on her earphones so she wouldn't be disturbed. Ryu scratcheed his hairy itchy chin and calmly said,"Nothing much. Just thinking thats all."
Kasumi frowned and argued,"Don't lie to me. It looks like you haven't slept for days. You've been way too calm and haven't shaved. You used to always shave. You haven't even said anything about Cassia."
Ryu slowly turned his head back towards the window and looked at the view. The high way lights flew by as the car drove, and there was only a couple other cars. The sky was dark and the time was around one in the morning. Kasumi looked at his reflection and saw tears prickling down his face. Ryu never showed his weakness and always thought people who did weren't worthy shinobi. Thats another reason Kasumi never liked crying. It made her look weak when in reality she wasn't.
"Chou......yeah. I've thought about her. Thats all I ever think about now. I never knew my parents. Some people say they went for a vacation and others say that they commited suicide. I was an orphane until I was 6. They just threw me out of the ophanage like I was garbage. Non- shinobi have never respected shinobi's. I ate trash to stay alive and educated myself by reaading books that were thrown away. When I got older I hid in an abandoned temple in the Shaolin temple. I would sleep, eat, and cry there. The monks preaches would fill the air and I was amazed by their preaches. I always wanted to be a monk. I would steal a paper and a pencil from whoever was foolish enough to pass by me, and I would write down all the verses they said.
One time I was reading them alloud and an old lady heard me. She was in love with them and decided to adopt me. Thats when I took all my shinobi listens and had the love I lacked. I began to write my own preaches since then. But the love she gave me was out of my preaches not me, thats what hurts. When Cassia gets older and she asks me what I did when I was her age what do I say? I ate trash and saw hundreds of people get murdered? The only way I got attention was if I preached? Now that Chou's gone I won't even be able to say anything at all. I probably won't even see her again.
My best friend has betrayed us, the clan is trying to kill you, I never knew my family. Kasumi, its not worth living for. There isn't any happiness. There won't be happiness. I know Ayane is only trying to cheer us all up. I mean imagine how she must feel. She was drugged by her own father her whole life. Is this all worth living for. Is life worth living for?"Ryu solemnly said wiping his tears off of his face with his shirt.
Kasumi was left with her mouth hanging open and she was absolutely speechless. She never knew Ryu's past, never knew what he went through. Was getting pregnate the right thing to do, Kasumi thought.
She pulleed off her scrunchy letting her hair flow down and she murmured quietly,"Ryu.........you are not a person to give up. I've known you my whole life and never do I remember you giving up. We will get Chou back. Wheter I die trying, we will get her. We can just start all over again. Go to another counrty if we have to. Whatever. But believe me, when you see her face again you will think life was worth living for. We all have a purpose in the world. We just have to wait until we find that purpose. Just promise me you will raise her to be a bold women."
Ryu looked at her with a perplexed expression. His eyes were full of tears that refused to fall out and as he spoke his voice shook,"Kasumi..........you won't doe. I will not raise her. WE will raise her, together. Whatever your planning please tell me".
Kasumi made a slight grin and sighed,"All I can say is that I will do what mother told me to do. Which was to prove all of the shinobi wrong. That becomming a runaway is worth it. You have to take one step at a time. Have you ever even been your age? Have you ever enjoyed anything".
"Kasumi its not about me."Ryu said opening his mouth to let more words come out, but they didn't. She was right. He always acted older than he was and never really had fun without Cassia or Kasumi. Kasumi put her index finger up to his lips and breathed,"Shhhhhhhh. Try to sleep, you really need it. Were together and as long as we are we can withstand anything." And with that Ryu closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Man, I'm so glad we stopped at this hotsprings area. I was dying for a bath,"Hitomi yawned as she stepped in the hotspring that was steaming.
"Looks like its going to rain. Oh well. We so deserve this hotspring. They even have a mini bar over there. Remindes me of the DOA suites,"Kasumi said pointing towards the mini bar that was shaped like a house. The area was deserted and was surrounded by the bamboo forest. The thin braches of bamboo gently brushed against eachother for support as the wind blew.
The water was clear and beautiful stones outlined the spring. Ayane was in a little corner being unusually quiet while Hitomi was going on about how badly she needed this. Kasumi turned her back on the girls and faced the bamboo wall thet divided the boys hotspring from the girls.
"Hey Hayabusa!! Whatcha up to,"Kasumi contentedly said.
"Yeah Im fine. I'm shaving. Beautiful place right?"
"Very beautiful. Need help with your hair?"
"Come on over. I was getting sick of that long hair".
Kasumi stood up letting the drops of water run down all the womenly curves of her body. Her hair was sodden and looked once again clean and healthy. She walked out of the womens hotspring and walked over to the mens.
She looked at the new and improved Ryu. His face was clear and looked handsome and young again. His jade green eyes were fully visible now, and his dark brown hair floated on the water.
"I got the scissors here,"Ryu innocently said. Kasumi swam towards him and threw the scissors he had in his hand a coupl feet away.
"Ryu do you love me?'
Ryu grinned and licked his upper lip," I love you more than anything. Do you love me?"
"Oh, I love you more than my own life".
Ryu couldn't help but plant a set of kisses down her neck and collarbone.
"I love when you do that,"Kasumi whispered in his ear.
"Do what this?'' Ryu asked kissing Kasumi's neck once more.
"My neck isn't my mouth you know,"Kasumi slyly persuaded.
"Yeah I know,"Ryu said staring at her lips with deep thoughts.
Ryuy cooly locked his lips with her, sucking on her lower lip. After a few minutes their tongues met and "hugged" continually. Still kissing, Kasumi grabbs on Ryu's shoulders and begins to passionately feel on them. Ryu stopped kissing her her and lifed her lef around his waist and he entered his manhood in her slwoly and cautioulsy. He continued to push himself in and out enjoying each blow.
"Wait. Wait. Ryu stop it!!!!!"Kasumi shouted, but Ryu continued and went faster. She raised her hand and karate chopped the side of his head. "RYU,"Kasumi quizzically demanded, clenching her teeth.
"I'm sorry. Forgive me. I got carrieed away. Its just that its been so long since the last time we last........you know,"Ryu mumbled turning his face away from her in ashament.
"Its not you. I mean it was.....er.....good. Its just that Its wrong to do something like then when we know good and well that our daughter is under the hands of criminals. I'm sorry. I'm starting to have regrets about Cassia. We should have never done what we did. We probabaly be much happier, , no?"Kasumi asked almost crying.
"C'mon now. We should be proud. This is a life expirience that is only going to help us mature as a person. Cassia has helped our lives,"Ryu said hugging Kasumi.
"Now lets do your hair",Kasumi said.

"Wow Ryu thats a good look for you,"Hitomi complimented as she brought her cup upto her lips and took a sip.
"Er, thanks".
He stared at himself in the mirror to see what was so interesting about him. His hair was short and spiked with blonde highlights, he looked his age, and his eyes shun brightly. Ha, if Hayate saw me know he would be so jealous, Ryu obnoxioulsy thought. Ayane came prancing from the mini bar with a burger in one hand and a Coke in another.
"K guys, we have to gulp this down so we can leave asap and whoa who is the hottie you peeps picked up,"Ayane shouted, nearly dropping her buger, stopping dead in her tracks at the sight of Ryu. He was wearing a red tank top, with baggy jeans, and K.Swiss sneakers. Ayane stared at him form his head to his toes and back up again.
"Its Ryu who else would it be"Hitomi said, taking a bite out if her chicken finger.
"Oh my gosh. Ryu!! I couldn't tell the difference between you and Pual Walker. Now lets go,"Ayane laughed.
"Ah ah ah ah. Where do you think your going. No where I hope. The fun has just began,"said someone, clearly a man. When Kasumi turned there standing was a man wearing a army suit and had a gun wrapped around him.
