I know I've been gone for so long.ehehe.bad Kishi. But, hear me out first.
1) I had no internet connection for a month and a half. 2)schoolwork piled
(and is still) piling up on me and 3) I didn't have any inspiration to
write...and I still don't. Forgive this last chap. I'm quite busy with one
novel I'm working on and the poems I have to give to my editor. Ja, iku yo!
And one last chap after this.

"What's bad?" Rika asked curiously, "You seem to be out of breath and angry. And where are you, besides?"
Rina's exasperation and panic carried through the line, "Dad and that banorudo (baka+Arnold[Arunorudo])set Rukawa's house on fire and they're fricking trapped in that hell hole! Rika, do something! Chikusho! I know you hate dad but, please! I love him. I'll convince him to change just come down here!"
Rika couldn't say anything and just uttered without thought. "I'll be right there. Rukawa's place? Just wait." She hung up and pulled Sendou's wrist without him knowing about anything.
"What is it? What's going on?" he asked wanting to know why he was being dragged. Wanting to know what he was not told. "Is there anything wrong? You look so...pale."
"Rukawa's house was set on fire by the idiots who want to control my life and now, they're trapped in their own devices." She hurriedly started up her motorcycle and immediately gave Sendou one of the helmets. "Hang on."
Sendou did as he was told and looked at Rika questioningly. "You're willing to save your father and that Arnold boy?"
"I don't have much choice." She growled and sped off as fast as she could toward where the scene was happening.
***
Rina was on the edge. Her father was trapped and no one could brave the fires to save him - not even the firefighters. He wanted to scream at them for being so paralyzed at the time of need. All she could do was cower at the arms of Rukawa who half-glared at the ruins and half-sympathized with her. Although he was whispering words of comfort in her ears, he couldn't keep the heat from his voice.
"Rukawa," she whispered burying her face in his chest, "I'm so sorry. I didn't want this to happen to you. It's my fault. I didn't stop them when I had the chance. I'm afraid, Rukawa."
Rukawa shushed her and kissed her forehead. "It's not your fault. You didn't know it would happen. You didn't do anything to cause it. I took the risk and here it is. Don't be afraid. I'm here for you. I always will. I know that your father wouldn't want you frightened either." With those few words, he forgot that his house was on fire and that the only thing that mattered were the people that were trapped in it. People that the woman in his arms cared about. He wanted to help but he couldn't think of anything.
The fire raged on, growing bigger for each second that passed and not even the fire quenched it, only stalling the spread for a while before beginning to feast on the once-recognizable abode. The few people who passed watched as the battle between fire and human resourcefulness ensued. The hushed voices of the onlookers were overcome by a screeching noise that stopped in front of the scene. Rukawa immediately recognized it. "Rina, Rika and Sendou are here now. Maybe they could do something."
Rina nodded, speechless in her sobbing and went toward the two who were being shooed away by the firefighters. They approached the men and told them that their companions could do something about the people trapped inside. In hopes that they were still alive, they allowed the two to approach Rika and Rukawa.
"I don't know where dad and Arnold are but they must still be alive," Rina's words came out in a torrent, "Rika, please do something. I know you can. I don't want anyone to die. I know you want them dead but please, I beg you!"
Rika just nodded and suddenly burst into the flaming abode not wanting to change her abrupt decision for the sake of her sister. Not even stopping to think of what to do or what she could do to get out alive.
Sendou's mouth hung. "Rika," he called out, but it was futile. She was out of earshot. He gritted his teeth. "She can't survive in that. She didn't even cover herself in anything wet. That's the best way anyone could get out of that." He turned to get what he had just said.
"I'm going with you," Rukawa suddenly blurted out, "for Rina's loved ones."
Sendou blinked. 'For Rina?' he was part of him was confused, another part was happy and another was worried. Rukawa probably decided to settle with Rina and it was all he could do not to grin. He immediately shook the thought out of his head and proceeded to find two towels and wet them thoroughly. He handed one to Rukawa and even with the firefighters trying to keep them back, they did nothing to follow them and rushed in the burning house.
***
Rika's breathing became ragged at the combination of heat and smoke as she shouted the names of the people left inside. She coughed up a couple of times but still pressed onward. She was damp with sweat and was immediately added with soot but she didn't mind. She made her way up to the top floor and found both of them out cold, trapped by a large, wooden column that was on fire on one end. She found a rod of steel from what was once a chair and another small, semi-circular object that she had no idea what it once was.
The column lifted off a few inches but fell back again with a thud. The trapped men groaned. She tried again but it seemed her strength was failing her with all the effort she made not to faint from the thick smoke that hung in the air. It crushed its victims once again. For the third time she tried, it lifted. Sendou and Rukawa were there lifting the part that wasn't burning. With the strength of three it lifted off the two men and the three rushed in to help.
Sendou threw her a towel. "Here, you need this. Take care of yourself, we'll take care of these two. You know you aren't. . .well suited to this."
Rika smiled and accepted the wet towel, wrapping it around her body and covering most of her features with it. They made slow progress getting out because of the injuries Rika's father and Arnold had taken as well as the fire that spread throughout the building. They dodged every fiery debris and went around every fire walls. By the time they got out, the place was literally crumbling under the rage of the fire.
The medical attendants immediately rushed up to them along with Rina and the rest of her family.
