Chapter 6
Jounouchi sat along the docks, watching the waves and the odd boat go by. He was hurting. His body was sore, and he wanted to throw up every time he moved in the slightest. He slowly laid himself down on the dock and just stared, tired, sick and sore. Two nights in a row of this nonsense.
He didn't feel like going home. He didn't feel like doing anything. The only thing he really wanted to do was lie there and try to figure out what he was doing with his life. He knew going back to Hirutani was probably one of the worse things he could have done…his sister wouldn't like it, that's for sure. Damn Anzu just had to dredge that up. Jounouchi was suddenly in a mood for fighting. He stood up and decided that's what he really wanted out of his joining Hirutani's gang again. To fight.
Hirutani didn't think it was such a good idea when Jounouchi suggested it to him.
"Jounouchi, you're crazy. Last night half the gang got arrested for breaking and entering into some guy's house while they were stoned- we don't have enough people to take on another gang. Especially when the only reason we would be doing it is because YOU feel like fighting." Hirutani shook his head.
"We have more then enough." Jounouchi wished he was a little- no, a LOT taller, so he could look Hirutani straight in the eye. His challenges never seemed as threatening as they could, due to this height difference.
"No. We don't." Hirutani put a cigarette into his mouth, and looked down at Jounouchi, like he was some sort of idiot. "You'll get to fight, no worries. Just not today."
"No! I want to go now." Jounouchi crossed his arms.
"Oh don't be such a brat, its not becoming." Hirutani flicked is index finger into Jounouchi's forehead, and it rather smarted, not that Jounouchi would allow his leader to know that. "Use your head."
"I know the few of us can take on anyone."
"You're fucking retarded." Hirutani rolled his eyes. Jounouchi looked at him coldly.
"Well too bad for you, because I already pissed off that motorcycle gang you were always so afraid of. They'll be looking for a fight with us any time now."
"You…YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Hirutani grabbed Jounouchi's hair and slammed the blond into the concrete floor as hard as he could. "What were you thinking?" he decided to kick the boy while he was at his feet, just to make sure he got the point that he had done something really dumb and bad, and was being punished.
"We'll take them down, and it'll be the end of them! We might even get a motorcycle out of the deal if we don't ruin them all." Jounouchi stood, preparing himself for another blow.
"They have motorcycles you stupid, stupid punk!" Hirutani grabbed Jounouchi's neck and lifted the boy off the ground so that they were eye to eye. "You just pretty much fucked us over. They will kill us. If the two of us happen to survive the encounter, expect me to kill you in a slow, agonizing way."
"We WON'T lose!" Jounouchi stared hard into Hirutani's eyes. The leader couldn't believe it. Was Jounouchi really ignorant, or did he have a plan of some sort? He showed no fear of the consequences. He recalled once when he challenged another high school and allowed ONLY Jounouchi to fight that entire gang- and he won…but this was different. They were older kids with motorcycles!
"Hey boss, what's going to happen?" One of the members asked, voice shaking. "Should we take off?"
"And surrender our home base? Forget it. We'll fight. We'll probably die, but we'll die doing what we do best." Hirutani dropped Jounouchi, and pulled a box out from under the table. It had all sorts of weapons in it.
"Grab something to fight with." He ordered. The others immediately began rooting through the box, looking for the best weapon. Jounouchi didn't move from his spot. "Jounouchi, get something to fight with."
"No, I got everything I need right here." Jounouchi said coolly.
"You'll die!" a purple haired member snapped. "Stop trying to prove yourself! This isn't a typical high school gang; these guys are serious."
"What and we're not? Our gang was feared by all others, until this stupid gang came along. But we'll prove who's on top." Jounouchi thrust his fist into his palm as an emphasis. All went silent when they heard the distant sound of motorcycles.
"We're fucked." A short member cringed. A motorcycle burst through the door, with a chain. Another followed holding a steel bar. Jounouchi smirked, as the rest tried to be anything but afraid. The first motorcyclist whipped his chain at one boy, nearly taking his head off, but luck was with the boy, and he ducked just in time. The biker with the bar was coming right at Jounouchi, ready to break his ribs with his iron weapon. Jounouchi didn't even move. At the last possible minute, Jounouchi ducked, as he did so, he used his switchblade in his pocket with the hopes of slashing the biker's tires. His plan didn't work so well, unfortunately, but that didn't discourage him.
Hirutani was being targeted by the first biker at this point, and he was attempting to knock the guy off his motorcycle. One boy threw his knife at the biker, and it managed to impale his arm, making him loose control and he crashed. Jounouchi gave the thumbs up to the kid with good (or really lucky) aim. Hirutani ran up to the biker, and began pummeling him before he could even pull the knife out of his arm.
The guy who remained on his bike was still picking on Jounouchi. Unfortunately the boy that had threw the knife that took out the first guy, tried his luck with this one as well, and almost skewered Jounouchi. This distracted the blond, giving the biker the opportunity he wanted. Instead of knocking Jounouchi's head off with his bar, he grabbed his shirt and dragged him.
Jounouchi screamed in anger as he struggled to get control of the situation, but the biker dragged him outside just the same.
"Jounouchi!" a senior member cried out. He chased after the biker, followed by a few of his comrades. Hirutani saw this, and decided to follow, kicking his enemy in the skull one more time for good measure just before leaving.
Jounouchi was released and fell, rolling on the ground for a few meters. He was almost run over by a bike, but moved away fast enough. There were ten to 20 more out here, and most of them were circling him, trying to hit him with chains and bars. Jounouchi was faring well with dodging their attacks, but he knew he couldn't do this forever. He knew exactly what he needed to do. Just as a biker was about to hit him with their chain, he managed to get it wrapped around his arm, and used it to pull himself onto the bike.
"What the fuck?" The biker yelled.
"Hello." Jounouchi punched the guy, and threw him off the bike. He took the chain and as he drove towards other bikers, he whipped it at one of the biker's hand, which made him drive into one of his allies. This started a domino effect of motorcycles driving into motorcycles, or crashing in front of other bikes, which had no choice, but to drive into them and crash themselves.
"Whoa." The purple haired guy's mouth dropped. Hirutani wasted no time, and began taking his baseball bat to the still conscious members that crashed. The others followed his example. There were still a few bikers left, who grabbed one of their friends so that there were two bikers on each bike. The second biker was standing, with a weapon in hand ready to take Jounouchi out.
"Hirutani!" Jounouchi called out, extending a hand to his blue haired leader. He decided he would play the same game. He pulled Hirutani onto the bike with him, and instructed him to drive the bike for him. Jounouchi used Hirutani to keep his balance, and to stay on the bike, and Hirutani just prayed his right hand man knew what he was doing.
A biker was beside them, and took a swing at the blond and struck him in the gut. Jounouchi held Hirutani's shoulders tightly as he tried to recover quickly. He then round house kicked his opponent right off his bike, which was difficult to do standing on a motorcycle and holding onto a guy's shoulders. He then took his chain and whipped the driver of the bike, and he crashed. The remaining bikers took off quickly, and a few of those who were knocked off their bikes but were still standing, ran after them.
Hirutani stopped the bike and Jounouchi jumped off.
"Told you we'd acquire a bike. Can it be mine?" he grinned. Hirutani looked at him, un-amused, and then slapped him hard across the face.
"You idiot."
