Chapter Four

"Mom, are we there yet?" asked Hikari for the hundredth time as she peer out of the window.

"Not yet sweetie. We'll reach there in another two hours more." Replied Ryuki. She looked disturbed. Her mind replaying back the day of her meeting with Davis.

"I know that you had a...bad past with Hiwatari, but he is the leader of the conference. Your job is to protect him from being assassinate by the terrorist until the talk is over." Said David.

"Bullshit! Ask someone else to take the job. I'm out!" snapped Ryuki angrily.

"No, you've given your word. You can't back out now. This is also for a good chance to let Hikari know who her father is." Coaxed David.

"He is not her father." Her tone was cold as glacier.

"You can't deny her the right to know who her father is."

"Fuck you! I said Hiwatari is not her father. He's not worth it." Her eyes narrowed in anger. Hikari was being congratulated by her friends for scoring another goal.

"Suit yourself. You'll leave for Japan tomorrow with Shadow and Dark." David got up and walked away.

"Damn him! Well at least Hikari get to go to Japan for her summer holiday."

"Yo, Light wake up! We're almost there." Yelled Shadow over the roaring noise of the helicopter.

That's right, Light, Hikari, Shadow and Dark flew in a helicopter from Colombia to Japan. Shadow and Dark were experts in piloting the copter.

"Ryuki wake up! We're here!" squealed Hikari in delight. She knew all about her mother's job and the two men spoiled her rotten with gifts every time they came back from a mission. She didn't seem very concern about it, probably she was used to it.

Ryuki's eyes opened and discovered that she had been sleeping during their flight.

The helicopter landed in an abandoned army field that was once used longtime ago for training soldiers. The four of them got out of the helicopter.

'Japan, I'm back.' Her mouth was set in a grim line.

"Where are you going to send her this time?" asked Dark, looking at the impatient Hikari who was yelling at Shadow to quickly unload her bags. The three grown-ups have no use for luggage. It only serves as a burden to them.

"I have a friend in Tokyo. She might be able to look after Hikari for a while."

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, please proceed to the nearest shelter while I say goodbye to this baby here." Shadow took out a small device from his shirt pocket. It was a trigger for the bomb he had planted inside the helicopter. They did not want their enemies to locate their whereabouts.

Ryuki, Hikari, Shadow and Dark went for cover at some bush about a hundred meters off the perimeter. Shadow pressed the trigger.

'BOOM!' the helicopter exploded and was covered in flames. Hikari was delighted, as she had never seen anything like it before.

"Now what?" asked Shadow destroying the trigger device.

"We wait. Mr. Hayako will be here to meet us soon." Said Ryuki nonchalantly.
