Time To Die?

"No! Matsumoto, stop!"

A young woman about 21 years old was laying on a bed with nothing but a blanket covering her, arms pinned over her head, as tears overflowed from her chessnut brown colored eyes. Over her, was Matsumoto; smirking as he began raping her. What the couple didn't notice was that a three year old beat, wearing a slightly baggy shirt, and pajama pants, holding a teddy bear and blanket in one hand, was in the doorway, eyes wide in horror, watching the whole thing.

"What's the matter Kaoru? you don't love me anymore?"

Kaoru screamed out in pain, red hair flairing as she jerked her head away.

"I...hate you...I HATE YOU YOU BASTARD! I'VE NEVER LOVED YOU!" Kaoru spat. She then spit at Matsumoto's face.

Wiping away the spit, Matsumoto then gave Kaoru a death glare as he stood up. Beathing heavily and making short gasps, Kaoru tried to crawl away from Matsumoto, only to be stopped by someone grabbing her by the hair.

"You think that I'm done with you, bitch?"

"Let...let...me go...," Kaoru said in between muffled breaths "I...said I...I don't wanna...be with...you...anymore..."

Matsumoto pulled out a gun and held it to Kaoru's head. "Do you think I grabbed you only to beg that you won't leave? hmm?"

Kaoru's eyes widened. "No! please Matsumoto...don't kill me, please!" she begged "what about our son? don't you care that he won't-"

A gunshot echoed throughout the house as Kaoru fell to the floor, into a pool of blood. Matsumoto then put his gun back into it's holster and walked out of the room, laughing evilily as he made his way to the bathroom. He passed Hiro, unaware that he just witnessed the death of his beloved mother. When Matsumoto was out of sight, Hiro made his way into his parent's bedroom; where his mother lay dead in a pool of deep crimson colored blood. He set aside the blanket and teddy bear and shook Kaoru's sholder with his tiny hand, hoping that she'd wake up and be alright.

"Mommy?"

"..."

"Mommy? Wake up!...Please?..."

Tears began to fill the youth's eyes as his mother, his beloved mother lay motionless on the cold hard floor, face pale and emotionless. Hiro collapsed into his mother's chest, crying uncontrolably. It was at that same moment, Matsumoto came back in the room and saw Hiro on Kaoru. He grabbed the poor child's arm as Hiro was trying to fight to get away from Matsumoto.

"Let me go daddy! I don't wanna go with you! You killed mommy!" Hiro cried.

"Your mom was just a slut and a cheep lay. Trying to leave me for some other bastard. She deserved to die anyway." Matsumoto said without a hint of emotion.

Within a matter of minutes, the house that once served to be their home, was up in flames. Before Matsumoto drove off, Hiro watched as the house was enveloped in a sea of flames. As they left, he heard the distant sounds of police sirens and firefighters.

"Mommy..."

&&&

"Time to die, Hiro"

Matsumoto pulled the trigger, sending a bullet flying out of it's barrel. The other sabordinates began to open fire as well. Beat grabbed Gum and dove out of the way as a array of bullets began flying; putting holes into the walls and windows.

"Fuck..."

Beat then heard a 'click' and a small 'rip' noise from his left. Ripping off a piece of Beat's shirt, Gum tied it around her wound and loaded up. Beat gave her a stare.

"I thought you said your arm couldn't move...hmm Gum?" Beat crossed his arms.

"I said I couldn't move it because it hurt, but just a little." Gum smirked.

"Gum, you little-..."

It was then a bullet chipped off a piece of the banister they hid behind of. Beat looked up and saw that some of his father's associates were aproching. Gum and Beat then pulled out their guns and looked at eachother.

"Ready?" Beat asked.

"Ready."

The couple then jumped behind the banister and began to fire. It felt as if the world became slower at that moment, almost like in the matrix. Shells flew and sliced through the air like a hot knife on butter as they made contact with the Aka Tatsu. They all flew back from the force of the bullets and crashed into a wall or landed on the floor. Beat took Gum's hand and they ran up a nearby stair case.

&&&

Reaching the next floor , they turned only to see that the whole floor was filled with more Aka Tatsu. But instead of guns, they all carried katana's (too much Kill Bill...XD). One of them kicked two katana's at Beat and Gum, indicating that they wanted a sword fight without guns. The couple nodded, put their gun's away and picked up the katana's. They both unsheathed their weapons and took their stances. Time seemed to slow down as waves of Aka Tatsu charged at the couple.

"graaaaaaaaahhh!"

One Aka Tatsu swung at Gum only to miss and get slashed on the stomach. Beat was as well fighting off Aka Tatsu, slashing heads, arms and legs (okay...more Kill Bill... XD). The Aka Tatsu began to swing at the pair, only to be met with a sword in the stomach or end up losing a limb. Aka Tatsu that were barely alive groaned in pain and they crawled around looking for any limbs that they lost. The rest were either dead or alive.

&&&

"How many are left?" Gum yelled over to Beat while slashing someone's arm off and kicking him away.

" I don't know...oh shit!"

There was a crash by a nearby window as more Aka Tatsu flooded into the room, surrounding the pair. Out of the corner of Beat's eye, he saw Matsumoto climbing the stairs to the upper floor. Gum had her back against Beat's back with their sword's pointed out. Gum breathed heavily as she scaned the room which was full of Aka Tatsu, holding their swords and stepping closer to the pair.

"There's too...many...Beat...what'll we do?"

At that moment, another window busted open. This time, Azuma Hanto yakuza came in the room and began to fight off the Aka Tatsu, either with a sword or a gun fight. Gum watched the two fighting parties as if it was a fight scene from 'The Last Samurai'. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her personal body guards; Keiji and Kenji, comming towards her.

"Gomen nasai Nagasaki-sama...we heard about you being in trouble then came looking for you." Keiji smirked.

Gum smiled " At least you finally came...you slow asses"

Keiji and Kenji just glared at her before fighting off and keeping away the Aka Tatsu. Meanwhile, Beat was kept busy by three Aka Tatsu. Ducking their every moves, he slashed them all across the stomach in one swift movement and then they all fell to the floor. He was about to fight off more people before a voice called to him.

"Beat, just go and get your father. I'll be alright, I promise!" shouted Gum.

Beat looked at her with a worried look. "Are you sure you'll be alright?"

"Yes, now go!" Gum turned and slashed another Aka Tatsu across the face then kicking another one out the window to his death.

Beat nodded and then turned and ran up the stairs, fighting off anyone who stood in his way. Once he reached the top, there was a sliding door in front of him.

"Strange, why would this sliding doors look newer than the ones on the other floors? Maybe, maybe this part's being...rebuilt?..."

Sliding the doors open, Beat was shocked to see a dojo style training room. At the other side of the room was another pair of sliding doors, this time leading outside to a japanese garden.

&&&

Stepping into the room, Beat slowly walked and scaned the room for anything that looked suspisious. The floor boards creaked with every step he made. All of a sudden, the door snapped shut behind him. Turning his attention to the door, Beat felt a pain in his abdomen as a knife forced it's way into his body. In front of him, Matsumoto stood with his Katana in hand as he kicked Beat through the paper door and out into the snow then jumping in after him. Beat lay on his side, holding his stomach and pulled out the knife; coughing up a bit of blood. He looked up and Matsumoto had his gun out and pointed it at Beat.

"You know, it never would've been this way if you didn't run away from home to become a rudie...and met 'her', daughter of my worst enemy. It's a shame, that you should die here, the same way your mother died all those years ago...I didn't want to do this, Hiro. But you leave me no choice."

Beat heard the 'click' sound of the barrel and then quickly kicked the gun out of Matsumoto's hand, causing the gun to set off into the air instead and fall into the snow on the opposite side of the garden. Beat then lunged at Matsumoto with his sword only to have it blocked by Matsumoto's. Matsumoto then unsheathed his sword and cut Beat on the leg. Beat jumped back and held his leg. He looked at Matsumoto with an evil glare and the two began to fight for what seemed to be hours, but in reality, it was about fifteen minutes, both breathing heavily.

"huff, huff..."

"huff...we end this now!"

The two then ran toward's each other, both with swords out. Swinging his sword, Matsumoto tried to throw Beat off guard only to have his sword knocked away and have something peirce his stomach. Beat stood in a knealing position with his sword pointed diagonal in the air, the other end in Matsumoto's stomach and through his back.

Coughing up blood, Matsumoto looked at Beat and smiled slightly. "Hmm...not too bad...heh...not too bad at all..."

Pulling out the sword from his stomach, Beat watched as Matsumoto fell to his knees then face first onto the bloodstained ground. Breathing heavily, Beat stood up and looked at his father's body on the ground. He looked up into the endless sky and whispered slightly, "Mother, this was for you."

"Beat!"

Turning around, Beat saw Gum running to him being followed shortly by some of the other yakuza who were shocked by what they had seen.

Throwing her arms around Beat, Gum tackled Beat and they both ended up falling onto the wet grass together.

"Whoa...hey Gum!" Beat screamed as he fell.

"Mmm Beat...are you okay? Wha...What happend to your leg and stomach?" She asked worriedly.

"Long Story" Beat chuckled only to be held into a tighter hug.

"I was so worried about you! don't run off and do something reckless and end up getting hurt really badly okay?" Gum screamed. "or I'll-"

Gum then was shut up by being pulled into a passionate kiss. She slowly kissed him back as they held onto eachother. Meanwhile, some yakuzas gone back to help the injured while the rest made a "awww..." sound in unison. Beat stopped and yelled over at them, "What the hell are ya'll lookin' at? leave goddamnit!" They all left chuckling and mumbling "go get a room" and "geez, in the rain of all places!..." Beat glared at them and they quickly left. To leave Gum and Beat to finish what they started.
