Chapter 23- A Death After Decision

Hi, and thanks for the reviews... My life is hitting its depressing point. At least, so far in my life, I guess. Well, I'm not taking in as much as I used to. How quickly can someone change in a year? From being as bright as yellow to dark as black, it's kinda strange if you think about it. But no matter, all that does matter is that I am inspired with so many ideas, that I have another great ending for this fic! I'll stick with my third idea. I also have many, many, other inspired ideas for future fics, so watch out!

Rated for violence, cussing, and kissing scenes...

A love is everlasting, a hate is for time, and a death is for a minute. Love, hate, and death all equal the same thing: life. Without love, without hate, and without death, there would be no life. And the human race would not suffice of course. And where, exactly, am I heading with this? The fact that love, hate, and death all can combine, and form, form into murder.

This is how it happened.

"Mommy, I don't wanna go!"

"But, Kuki, dear, please, you must...!"

Kuki pouted at this. She crossed her arms and her back now faced her mother. She sniffed. Why did things have to be this way? She now turned to her mother, who was looking down at the sleeping Mushi.

"Momma, but...why? Why did this happen?"

A sigh escaped the mother's lips and sat on the cheap motel bed. A motel was a great place to keep WPP members while the officials get the house ready for move in.

"Kuki... This world, it's not as easy as it looks. If I hadn't been an accountant before, we would've been in poverty. There are such things as deaths and murder. Kuki, you must understand, it's an everyday thing, and everyone get killed...everyone is in danger no matter what."

"That's not true, Momma! I was safe! I had a great life until-until..."

"I know...but...this is the only real way we could be safe..."

"I have a deep feeling, Mom... This is not going to save us... There will be traitors; there will be ones undercover... You told me that, Mom. You told me such things."

Kuki ran into the bathroom, tears in eyes, and slammed the door, abruptly waking up Mushi, who looked terrified. Mushi started to cry into her new blue sweater. The mother sat down cradling Mushi.

"Shh, it's going to be alright... Kuki is just confused..."

The man sat by the bars, which had men on both sides of the cell. The man groaned in agony of the place. It was expected. The brat was going to rat...or that bitch.

Surely, his favorite didn't do this because she was too oblivious. He taught her his tricks. She had a temper, sure, but she had a glint in her eye that said evil. He knew it. She knew it. He'd know it.

He was going to visit his old friend Faber, a father of five. Apparently, he was bent on destroying kids also. Just, not as lethal as he was.

The man now knew for sure that if had his daughter, she could join him, and destroy the other adults as well. She had potential. The love of his life would be most pleased. But if she wished to stay with her friends...well, there was no reason in keeping her, right?

"I know where you are, darling, and I'm surprised that you haven't figured me out yet..." He whispered into the picture.

"I said, 'How could you do this?'"

"Shut up, you have known this all along, I don't need explaining!"

"But the Japanese mafia isn't the way! I do well know about Yakuza and I don't intend for you to get into the wrong hands...if you already aren't... I hate this new you!"

He stopped. Was that a hint that she wasn't going to join him? Well, he had a lot of expectations from her; she better not back down now! But for some reason, he could feel another presence.

"Where are your friends?!"

"What do you mean?" She spat back. "I fucking came here alone; you were the one who took me! They're dead! That Faber killed them!" She knew well that some how they beat Father.

"Oh cut the crap, kid!" He said, glaring. "I know that one boy was there with you! He probably went back to your friends! I know you've been with him! I know about your late night kiss, how you got together, and your love for him... I've known ever since we've lived here long ago..."

She winced at his words. They were true...but he knew? Has he been spying on her?

Two of the boys raised an eyebrow at the man's words. They both looked at Wally who was a bit paler than before. It was hard not making a noise. Fortunately, Wally was too deep in thought to have to make a noise!

"They're not here!"

"And how exactly did you get out of the ropes?"

She slightly smiled, and silently thanked Wally for leaving to hide so quickly, leaving a knife on the ground (the knife was for precautions). She picked it up, which were by her feet. Her palm was sweaty as she grabbed the red handle of it.

"This; this is how I got out. I really had it, in a place you weren't looking..." She slowly said, thinking of something on the top of her head, hoping he won't have a come-back.

Her father scowled and crossed his arms. Well, it was now or never, said his mind.

"You're really my daughter right?" He began. "Well, I remember when you had such love for me... Surely you do still. You remember our talk in the house, right? The one of my secret closet underneath the truck, remember? Well, I know that you knew of your destiny...You can't hide it, child... You'll have to join me; it's in your blood. I could tell that you knew that all along. You told me yourself that you couldn't deny it! I know! You already do know most of the tricks!

"Just don't expect me to be the greatest father ever..."

Her voice cracked as she let out the reply. "That conversation was not one I cannot forget, father, just don't expect me to join you! You bastard! A son of a bitch you are, dad! I don't care if you are my father, I have none, and you can't change that!"

He chuckled evilly as he took a step forward. "Well...if I can't change that...well, I'll just have to change you!"

He charged at her, and was now at her throat. He was simply too fast for the girl. Even if he did teach her most of his tricks. He held a gun to her throat which was pressed deeply into her skin. She was trembling, and he could feel it. He loved the feeling.

"Now," he whispered, "Now is the time... If you won't join me... You'll join no one! Die!"

The trigger was closely pulled as the three boys shot a mustard gun at him, which hit his eyes...making him temporarily blind. He held the gun out, not sure where to point.

"I knew it, dumb girl! I knew you had others with you!" The man yelled.

"Oh shut up!" said Nigel. "We heard everything!"

Wally tackled the man and sat on him. Keiko smiled widely at him. Her knight in shining armor...just like old times. The happy moment quickly ended when the man under Wally started moving up and started raging. He started to strangle Wally who tried kicking him. Keiko also tried to charge and punch him. He was simply too strong.

"Guys!" Hoagie yelled.

Hoagie knew he couldn't do anything...at least, physically. They still had hope. He took out a badge thing that opened up. He opened it and punched in a code with the numbers.

A gas started to fill the room. The father fainted now, as the others stared. It was strange. The yellow gas went to fresh air now. It exited the room as he still lay unconscious on the cold floor.

"What was that?" Keiko asked.

Hoagie grinned. "Groaning gas. Only Groan-ups could take affect to the gas. Unfortunately, that was my last bottle here."

Wally rolled his eyes as Keiko giggled at the joke. Nigel patted him on the back. "Good job, Numbuh 2... That was quite a different attack, hm?"

"Yes, it was... and I enjoyed quite much of it. Rather entertaining, kids, and good job... Although, I can't say that you'll beat much of me."

The others turned to the voice, which was coming from the hallway through the door. The dusty air cleared a bit.

A woman was now standing there, with an evil smile plastered on her face. A smooth, slender hand was on rested on the hip. A red Chinese style dress fitted her curvy body along with purple pants. Her purple hair was kept neat and high. Keiko could clearly make out the eye tattooed onto her right arm.

Keiko let out a small gasp.

"You were part of this, Alana?"

(asterisks)

Ok, if you don't know who Alana is, go to the first chapter: Who Am I? She was Keiko's only friend. The ending is clear, and I hope you'll figure out a couple of the secrets. The beginning of the chapter must've seemed a bit confusing, huh? Also, with the "groaning joke", I got the idea from a picture.
