Chapter 12
Most of the Sohmas screamed. Hatori and Shigure both at once knocked the large group to the side. Machine gun bullets hit the hallway wall. All of them were covering there ears. Momiji and Kisa felt tears come to there eyes.
After about 2 minutes, the bullets stopped. Kagura and Ritsu had been shot in the leg, and Haru's arm was skimmed. The rest were just shaking uncontrollably. Kisa whimpered.
Hatori looked inside. There was a machine gun stationed on a desk with a woman just pulling up from it. She had to be the one firing. Though his face was hidden from view, there was a man sitting behind her. To the left of the desk was Tohru, tied up in a chair. Tears fell from her cheeks from the intense fire. On the wall to the right were 4 young girls, the oldest looking one had to be 13 at most. A shorter blonde one and a dark haired one were leaning on the wall gasping, trying to recover from the shock of the shooting. The other two had a serious expression on their face, hands behind their backs and glancing at the ground.
"I expected you to bring all of the zodiac members to be here; you're missing some," a man's voice sounded. He gave no indication of whom he was talking to. Slowly and fearfully, the other Sohmas looked into the doorway. Momiji let a gasp escape when he saw Tohru.
For a moment, the only sounds that were made were Kisa's whimpering. Then, Akito stood. Hatori and Shigure followed his lead. One by one all of them stood up, but found themselves sneaking in behind the first three that stood. "What…." Hatori was lost for words.
Then, the man stood up and made himself visible. He looked middle-aged, maybe in his 50s. His hair was a deep black and was slicked back with hair jell. He wore a suit just as black as his hair, with a wide-striped navy blue and white tie.
"Hello. It is nice to meet all of you," came a calm but deadly voice. "Pardon but weren't you and your lovely assistant just shooting a machine gun at us!" came Shigure, who was half outraged, half uneasy.
The man giggled a little. "Ah yes. Isn't dear Martha such an excellent gunman?" the voice was so creepy it was familiar. The young woman smirked at the comment then stepped aside. "But lets get down to business."
The man walked towards the tied up Tohru. He undid the bonds and gripped her neck in a headlock, pulling out a knife. "Ok people," he sounded more fierce now. "You all here need to die. I will have to find a way to kill those other zodiac members another time, but you will all die today! So you can either cooperate and die, or run and have this precious girl killed!"
The only sound made was from the right of the room. It came from Sabrina and Sarah, who had gasped at the same time. "What was that!" the man snapped at them. "We uhm eh oh…" Sarah was lost for words. Sabrina didn't try to speak at all. The man's expression softened into a smirk. "Has anyone ever told you not to get too attached to those who you kidap?"
McKenna and Natalie looked down a little. McKenna used her heal to give Sarah a kick in the shin. Natalie punched behind her at Sabrina's stomach. Neither made a sound at the pain they felt suddenly. But now the Sohmas attention was drawn to the young gunman that held a pistol.
Tohru shrieked a little as the knife pressed harder into her neck. "Fire when ready sweety," the man smiled maliciously.
A bullet fired.
And the dark haired man called "The Boss" fell to the ground.
