Chapter 10
Dude, I forgot I started this on here. I finished it like, two years ago, and I forgot I posted it on here. Well, I changed some things, so I'm starting again with this chapter. Don't worry, it's gonna be completely done, and I'm even adding another one after this, I already started on it.
"You seem pretty confident in yourself" Shin commented.
"Like you said before, I take after my parents, and I believe in myself, so I should be fine" Samantha flashed a smile that brought back the memory of Julia. As they entered the house, they were greeted by the smell of tea and wonderfully cooked roast.
"I hope you two are hungry, I cooked enough to feed the entire planet!" Miaka exclaimed as they sat down to the hearty dinner of roast, potatoes, rice, and corn on the cob.
"Did you find anything out?" Miaka asked as she sat down opposite Shin. He poured a cup of tea and nodded. "Do you remember Julia's nephew, Yusuke?" he asked after a short amount of time.
"Of course I do, he was such a sweet boy. His only flaw was that he could act like Vicious far too well" Miaka replied.
"You know why?" Shin started. "Yusuke was actually was Julia and Vicious' son. Julia was afraid of him, since Vicious had taught him the ways of the Syndicate, and she didn't want Yusuke to fall into it, so she created a sister that was supposed to be Yusuke's mother, and sent him away" he shoved a potato in his mouth.
"Imagine, being afraid of your own son. But Julia was a sensible woman, she did the right thing. "Miaka stated firmly.
"Evidently not, my dear older brother is now the leader of the Red Dragons. I'm guessing he's the one that ordered my death." Samantha said, but her voice was different, it contained pity. Miaka shook her head in disagreement.
"Vicious was never a man to have other people do his dirty work when it came to Spike and Julia. Yusuke would have come after you himself"
"Either way, I have to put a stop to the syndicate. Even if it does mean killing my own brother, I can't live in fear of the syndicate, and neither should anyone I love" she looked at Shin. "I'm going with you tonight". Shin jumped up from the table.
"The hell you are! I won't have your death at the hands of the syndicate. I know I said you could, but I've done some thinking" Samantha jumped up as well.
"But Shin that's not fair! I'm the reason you're in this mess anyways, and I'm doing what I think is right!" she shouted. She turned and left the room. Shin sighed and followed her.
"Leave me alone!" she shouted through the closed door. Ignoring her command, Shin shoved open the door and sat down next to her.
"I'm doing this because I care. Not that I don't care about what you feel is right. I think it's right as well, but it's just too dangerous. I don't want you to end up like my brother, Lin" Shin said slowly.
"Shin, if you gave a damn about me then you would understand why I have to do about this. My parents would want me to face my fears and take it like they did. Please, let me help you" she pleaded with her eyes.
"Promise me one thing…" Shin turned and looked at her. "Promise me that if things get really deep, you'll take off. Go somewhere they won't find you. Call me at Miaka's after a few days, and I'll return for you" he brushed a strand of hair out of her face. She looked at him, the bright light that once lit up her face turned to her eyes.
"I give you my word"
At eight on the dot, Charles, Ray, and Shawn pulled up out front and honked the horn. Samantha looked at Shin, and mouthed 'Thank you'. He returned the smile, and held her hand as they walked into the dark of night, ready to face whatever came to them.
