Chapter 38:
Kagewaki's IntentionThere was a moment of silence. Kagome stared at Inuyasha with complete shocked. Inuyasha, on the other hand, seemed shocked as well. He held onto the picture frame with trembling hands, staring into it as though trying to burn a hole through it.
" Wha…What do you mean Kikyou's father!!?" Sango broke the silence and snatched the picture from his hand. She looked into it as to make sure, " How do you know!!?"
Miroku peered over behind her to look at it too. " Yes, Inuyasha. How do you know it's her father?"
" Hey!" Inuyasha snapped, " I've met her father like how many times when we were going out! How could I not remember? I even met him just a few weeks ago!"
"You…you met my dad?" Kagome spoke with trembling lips. Inuyasha looked to her in surprise, " I…I mean, you've met Kikyou's father? How did he look like? What did he say?" She asked him eagerly.
Inuyasha looked away from Kagome's gaze, eyes swimming around. " He…he looked exactly like the guy in that picture…except he seemed older and exhausted. But it's the same guy. I know it.
I remember him saying that he came here to look for something. Something very precious to him."
Sango and Miroku, both, turned their eyes towards Kagome, who had her face down.
"I…I'm pretty sure he was talking about something else. Not you, Kagome-chan." Sango said as she placed a hand on her friend's shoulder, " Besides, there's still no proof that Kikyou's father is your father."
" Are you saying that I'm lying!?" Inuyasha stood up as in protest.
" Calm down, Inuyasha." Miroku stepped in. He turns to Kagome, " First, we have to make sure if what Inuyasha says is true. Why don't we go to Kikyou's house and ask her personally? And maybe have her show a picture of her father or something."
"No…" Kagome spoke.
Kagome quickly walks towards the door, grabbing her coat and putting her shoes on. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha followed after.
" W…where are you going, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.
" I need to check on something." Kagome said quickly and walks out of the door. Sango and Inuyasha looked at each other in confuse but followed right after.
"Oh my, leaving already?" Ms. Higurashi came from the kitchen, " Where is Kagome going?"
" We'll be back, Ms. Higurashi," Miroku said and bows his head. He soon went after the three.

Knock Knock" Come in, Naraku…"
The dark, long wavy hair boy walked into his father's office, with his red eyes narrowed with a hint of annoyance. But he wouldn't dare show that in front of his father.
" Yes, father. You have called me?"
"Mm. I called you to tell you…" Naraku's father rubbed his mustache and hesitated for a moment, " …that your brother is here."
Red eyes widen, " What? What is he doing here?"
" I don't know. But he says he have come to see you. He's waiting in the conference room next door so why don't you have a brotherly chat with him?"
Naraku narrowed his eyes irritably, " I have no intention talking with him."
The old man looked at his son through his glasses and sighs. " You will talk to him, Naraku. This is your father's order and you will listen. He is your brother and I have made a promise with your mother before she died that you and Kagewaki will get along."
" She was not my mother ever since you've broken up with her."
" She is your mother, Naraku. No matter how much you deny it…divorced or not. You and Kagewaki share the same blood."
" I do not accept a brother like him!!!" Naraku bellowed, his voice echoing into the large office.
Naraku's father stared into his son's angry eyes before turning to face the window. " Go now. And you will talk to him or you will have to take consequences."
Naraku gripped his fist tightly in frustration and left the office room, not forgetting to slam the door loudly behind.
--- -------- ----- ------- ----
" Hello… my dear brother." Kagewaki smiled at the sight of his brother, who held an expression of annoyance, walking into the room.
Naraku stayed silent, sending angry glares to his older brother, who didn't seem to bother. Kagewaki just held his friendly smile and stared at his younger brother. How long he had dreamt to see him. Just for once. He had thought. Just for once, even if it was only a glimpse, how he had long to see his brother.
" What are you doing here?" Naraku asked, still holding a frown.
" To meet you, of course."
" Do not lie to me, Kagewaki." The younger of the twin narrowed his eyes, " Are you here with your so-called 'group' again? What are you doing here?"
Kagewaki walked towards the window, with his smile still on, and looked down the busy streets below him. He then closes his eyes and spoke, " Time flies, does it, Naraku? And as time goes by…people change too."
" Hm. I don't know what you're planning to do but I warn you…if you even dare start bothering with me I will…"
" Higurashi Kagome…"
" !!!?"
" You do…know her, don't you?" Kagewaki smiled. " I'm sorry to say this, Naraku. But I cannot let you touch her."
" What…?"
" I'm sorry but I will have to take actions if you get close to her. I cannot allow you to hurt her."
Naraku snorted, " Hm. What can a weakling like you do? I hear that they still haven't found a cure for your weak heart…so, what did the doctors say, Kagewaki? How long did they say until your death? Half a year? Three months? A week?"
". . . . . . . ."
" Hmph, I thought so." Naraku narrowed his eyes and smirked, " If you value your life, Kagewaki, I suggest you don't interfere with me. And one more thing, I don't want you to ever show up in front of me again. Do you understand?"
He then leaves the room, slamming the door shut. Kagewaki stayed silent for a moment and closed his eyes. He soon opens them and slightly lifts his face.
" Life is such a transient thing, Naraku. But even though, people work hard to stay alive…no matter how many pain and suffering they have to go through…no matter how many loss they have to cope with…one will do anything to hold onto their precious life. But, when the time comes, one will do anything even if it takes his/her life." A small, soft smile formed on his lips, " So Naraku, I will have to interfere with you, no matter how much the cost. Because…this may be the only thing I can do to save…one life."
--- -------- -------- ------ ----
" Kouga…Kouga…"
" Ah?"
Ginta and Hakkaku looked at each other in worry of their leader's response.
" You alright, Kouga? You seem…dazed out." Ginta asks.
" Yeah, you alright?" Hakkaku followed.
"…I'm fine, I'm fine!" Kouga irritably responded back before staring into space again. The two boys looked at each other and shrugs.
" I mean…I understand if you're thinking about Kagome-nee-san but…Kouga…you know she's with…"
" Ginta!" Hakkaku pushed him with his elbow.
" No…Hakkaku, let me." Ginta faced his friend and takes a deep breath before continuing, " Kouga, I have to tell you this. You know that Kagome-nee-san is with Inuyasha now. You know that she loves him more than anybody…that you have no chance against him."
Kouga's body twitched at his words. He slowly turned towards Ginta and Hakkaku with dazed eyes.
" You have to stop this, Kouga!! Kagome-nee-san loves you too…but not as much as Inuyasha. I don't want to see you like this, Kouga…so please…"
" Ginta!" Hakkaku turned towards Kouga, " Kouga…I'm sorry to say this too but…but we don't want to see you like this. We want you to be happy, Kouga…but you know…we're stupid and dumb so we don't know how to make you happy or help you…but…but…"
" Ginta…Hakkaku…" The Yohrou boy whispered softly. He lowered his head in embarrassment to himself. How can he act like this in front of his two best friends!!? He is Yohrou Kouga, not some lovesick bastard who is still sulking after being deliberately dumped!!!
Well…actually he wasn't really dumped. It was a one-sided love anyways…and that love is crushed now. Now that he found out Kagome, the girl he had loved, realized her feelings towards that Inukkoro bastard. Mother fuckin' bastard, the wolf boy thought as he gritted his teeth in frustration. It was always like that. Just one day when he had thought he had gone one step over that bastard, that stupid motherfucker was a two, three step ahead of him.
The Yohrou boy let out a small sigh. He looked up to see two of his friends still looking at him in pure worry. " I'll be a'right. Thanks for the encouragement though."
Ginta flushed slightly, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. " Well…yeah. You're welcome."
" What are friends for, Kouga?" Hakkaku smiled.
" Nothing but a bothersome load of bullshit to me." A familiar voice said behind them. Kouga quickly frowned at the sight of that person.
" What the hell are you doing here…" He snarled, " Kagura?"
Kagura narrowed her red eyes as she snapped open the fan she held in her hand. Kanna was beside her, expressionless as usual.
" Let me guess, you're here by that fuckin' Naraku's orders, again?" Kouga said in a mocking tone. " Get a life, Kagura. I ain't bored enough to hang out with the likes of you. SO get the hell out of our faces."
" Even if I plan to tell you that Kagome was kidnapped?"
" What!!!?" Kouga's eyes widen. Same with Ginta and Hakkaku. " What the hell did you just say!!!?"
" I said that Kagome was kidnapped. But that was days ago. Your heroic friend, Inuyasha, rescued her so no worries, stupid wolf boy." Kagura smirked seeing the annoyed expression on his face. " Too bad you weren't there to be the one to save her. What's wrong? Did I break your poor heart? Awww, poor wolfie boy. Pouting like a small child."
" Fuck off, Kagura!" Kouga glared at her angrily. " I don't care about fuckin' Inukkoro! Where's Kagome!! She all right!!? I swear if you dare lie to me…"
" She's all right, god damnit. Naraku, himself, was surprised that Kagome was kidnapped. I guess he didn't see that coming. Anyways, he seemed really frustrated and angry." Kagura sighed, " And he always takes it out on me. Fuckin' bastard."
" Kagura…" Kanna whispered.
" Hm? Oh…yeah." Kagura glanced at her sister and then turns towards Kouga, " I've got a message from the ' Shichinin-tai'. They said that they ain't gonna go after you anymore. Same goes with Kagome, Inuyasha, and the other bastards. So be happy and go celebrate if ya want."
" What? Are they chickening out!? Ha! Stupid bastards." Kouga crossed his arms.
" Whatever you say." Kagura then snapped her fan close as she turns to leave, " That's all I'm going to say."
" And what about you, huh!?" Kouga shouted, " Are you still staying by Naraku's side following his fuckin' orders!!? Admit it, Kagura. Admit that you like being ordered around and staying by his side. Like I care!! But I swear I'll kill you if you stand before me."
Kagura turns to glare at him. " Shut the fuck up. You don't know anything about me."
" Ha! I wouldn't want to anyways."
"……!!! Fuck you!!! I hate you!!!" Tears formed in her eyes as she ran.
" Wha…!!"
" She doesn't really hate you," Kanna spoke softly, staring into him. " She loves you…Kouga. No one understands her feelings…but maybe…you can. You really don't know anything about her."
He glared at the white girl, " What the fuck are you trying to say!!? That I'm gonna fall for her or something!!?"
" … … you will understand." She answered softly before walking away.
----- ---------- ------ ----- -----
" Kagura…"
Kagura lifts her face up in surprise and turns to find her sister standing. She quickly wiped the tears away, " What, Kanna!? What do you want!!?"
". . . . . . ."
" Hm. You're quiet as usual, huh?"
" You love him."
" What?"
" You love…him."
Red eyes widen slightly, " Are you talking about Kouga? Hell no! Why the fuck should I love a fuckin' bastard like him!!?"
" You don't really think that way. You're just trying to deny the truth."
" What do you know about me, Kanna!!? You don't know anything! Anything!!" Kagura shouted, her tears coming back. " You're the one who really is obedient enough to follow Naraku. But me. No. I am not following anyone! And no one is telling me whom I like! Not even you Kanna so don't try getting into my business!!"
" . . . . . . ."
" Damnit…why is it me? Why does it always have to be me?" Kagura said as she roughly wiped the tears, " I hate this. I hate my fuckin' life. I wish I'd die just now."
" He can help you."
" What!?"
" Yohrou Kouga…he can help you."
" Are you still saying that? I told you, I don't like him! I fuckin' hate…"
" Kagura…"
There was a moment of silence between them as the wind blows their hair softly, brushing against their pale skin. Kagura stared into her sister's eyes wondering what in the name of hell is she trying to say. She? Kazetsukai Kagura love Yohrou Kouga? Impossible. Never in her life…but she admits that she holds special feelings for him. She had known him since childhood. And never in her life she would think that she'd seen him again. To tell the truth, she actually felt happy when she saw him in this school the first time. Though she'll never tell it to anyone even at the cost of her life. Even if they had different classes, the thought of Kouga being in the same school with her made her happy.
As she started working under Naraku, she was able to see him more often. And now…
Kagura shook her head. ' What am I thinking? Like I said, I don't like Kouga…'
" Kagura…" She looked up at her sister's voice.
"…what?"
" If it is to make you happy…I don't mind what happens. If you say that you hate Kouga…and if that makes you happy…I won't touch on it further more. If it is to help you…I will do anything."
"…Kanna?"
Kanna stared at her taller but younger sister with her emotionless eyes. If it is to make her happy…
" As your older sister…I will die protecting you."
--- ----------- ---- -------- ----
Sesshoumaru walked into his father's room and slightly widens his eyes to see someone familiar standing inside the room.
" Hello, Sesshoumaru." The figure smiled. His cerulean eyes narrowing with gentleness.
" Kagewaki…" Sesshoumaru said softly and closed the door behind him. " Father told me there was a visitor for me…never expected it would be you."
Hitomi Kagewaki smiled again, " So, I've finally caught you surprised. You were always the pokerface one, Sesshoumaru. How have you been doing?"
Sesshoumaru tucked some of his silver hair behind his ears, " Good…if you must say. What brings you here? I suppose you've already met your brother?"
" Yes…he seemed…upset by it though." Kagewaki said and Sesshoumaru snickered. " I'm just here to do a small thing I have to do. You must be wondering what that is. I'm sorry to say I can't tell you that. It's something I must do…before the time comes. Before it is too late."
" What is too late?" Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. " What are you planning to do?"
" Time flies, does it, Sesshoumaru? I miss all those days when we played in the park together when we were small kids. How is your brother doing? Inuyasha…was his name, right?"
" He is doing fine. Although, right now he seems busy with the problem about Higurashi Kagome."
" Kagome?" Kagewaki turns to him.
" His mate." Sesshoumaru stares at him, " You know her?"
" Hmm…well, yes. In fact, I do." Kagewaki placed a finger on his chin and made a thoughtful expression. He then looks up at Sesshoumaru again. " Tell me, Sesshoumaru. How close…is Inuyasha with Higurashi-san?"
"…why do you want to know?"
"…nevermind. Forget what I asked, Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru stared at his friend for a moment, " Does whatever you have to do deal with Higurashi Kagome?"
Kagewaki smiled, " You really are sharp when it comes to these kind of things. Yes…it has something to do with her. But I can't tell you…don't want to get you involved. Besides…you don't have to worry about it. I don't intend to harm her…at least I don't. I don't know what the others are planning about…but I'm here to change that."
" Well, why did you come to see me? If you don't want me involved, I'm sure you wouldn't do such a thing." Sesshoumaru folded his hands and leaned on the wall. " I don't intend to go in people's business but if it is something I have to know about…then I will."
" Oh, I just came to see your as usual beautiful face, Sesshoumaru." Kagewaki smiled teasingly, " Just see how you were doing…you haven't change. No…wait. You have changed. You seem more openhearted than before. If you were still the cold, heartless Sesshoumaru I knew of…you wouldn't even let me talk to you and just tell me to leave."
"Hm. You don't seem to change at all."
" Besides…my life won't be long…I just wanted to reminisce all the memories inside of me before I die."
" So, they still haven't found a cure for you."
". . . . it's really sad to think. After all these years…"
Sesshoumaru stared at him for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and walking up to him. " I don't know what you plan to do…but if that is what you think it is right…then I won't ask further more. It is not my problem…it is up to you to decide. I don't care if you have to die for that…"
" Yes, I understand, Sesshoumaru." Kagewaki smiled, " Thank you. You are…a really good friend of me."
He then starts walking towards the door.
" Kagewaki…"
" Yes?"
" You are…welcomed anytime if you feel like visiting again."
"…yes. Thank you again, Sesshoumaru."
". . . . . . ."

" Naraku…"
Renkotsu stood in the dark alleyway. The gun safely hidden inside his pocket. His eyes glowed darkly as he looked around, searching for the person he had called upon.
" What the heck is your problem, Naraku? You call me out and you're not even freakin' here…"
He turns to leave but steps back as a small knife comes flying towards him, hitting the ground where he was about to step foot upon.
" This is…"
" Yo, Renkotsu." He looked up by a familiar voice and slightly widens his eyes to see Jakotsu standing in front of him, half of his body in shadows, twirling a small knife in his right hand. Jakotsu, himself, held a slight smirk on his face as he stepped out of the shadows.
" Jakotsu…" Renkotsu straightened his position and glared at his former friend. " What the hell are you doing here?"
Jakotsu twirled the knife in his hand playfully. " Because we're the one who called you here."
" We…?"
" Yup…, isn't that right, Suikotsu?" Jakotsu said and glanced behind his shoulder.
Suikotsu came walking out of the shadows, his claw-like gloves, strapped on his hands. He nodded and faced Renkotsu who had somewhat of a shocked expression on his face.
" Never thought…never thought you'd betray us, Renkotsu." Suikotsu said in disgust, " How could you? Fuckin' bastard!!"
" Hm." Renkotsu spat and glared at his two friends, " It doesn't itch or hurt being said from a puppet like the two of you. A puppet of that mother fuckin' son of bitch, Bankotsu."
Jakotsu narrowed his eyes, " What?"
" Jakotsu, Suikotsu…it's all right." Renkotsu quickly widens his eyes in shock as a familiar figure stepped out of the shadows behind the two.
" Ba…Bankotsu!!"
Bankotsu smirked, satisfied to see his expression. " So, Renkotsu. Heard from Jakotsu here that you're leaving the group. What's up?"
Renkotsu gritted his teeth, " What's up? Aren't you gonna kill me for betraying you all? My dear lord Bankotsu-sama?" He said sarcastically and took out the gun he was hiding, " Hm. See this? I'm gonna shoot a hole through that fuckin' head of yours and spray blood and brains all of this place. How's that? Never been shot by the head, huh? Well, I'll help you…it won't hurt, Bankotsu. I assure you." He pulled the trigger and smirked triumphantly.
Bankotsu held a calm expression. " You think that will scare me?"
He then instantly appears behind Renkotsu and held hold of his hand, which was holding the gun and twisted it to face it to Renkotsu's cheek. Renkotsu became utterly shocked by this and his face quickly went pale as he saw the gun is now pointing at him.
" How's this? Renkotsu?" Bankotsu smirked, as he press the tip of the metal onto the bald teen's cheek, " Do you want me to blast a hole through this cheek of yours instead?"
" W…wait, Bankotsu. I…I can explain…" Renkotsu surrendered.
" Ha, explain, my ass!" Jakotsu shouted in between, making Renkotsu send some cold glares to him.
" Now now, calm down, Jakotsu. We're not here to scare our friend here…" Bankotsu said and then loosens the grip on the gun. He pushes Renkotsu forward, who stumbles, and places the gun inside his pocket. " Now…Renkotsu. Tell us why we shouldn't kill you…"
" I…" Renkotsu gritted his teeth in frustration but tries not to show it. 'Fuckin' bastard…'
Somehow, he has to find a way to get that gun back. It's the only weapon now that he can win against Bankotsu. But with Jakotsu and Suikotsu sending cautious glares behind him and Bankotsu standing in front…he has no choice but act out of this situation until he finds a chance to get that gun back. He looked up at Bankotsu, who still held a calm expression, but he can still feel the raging anger inside of that expression. And if he doesn't do something soon, Bankotsu will surely let out that anger anytime now.
He softly clicked his tongue in annoyance and closed his eyes. " Na…Naraku asked me to kill you…"
" I already know that…" Bankotsu said, " Jakotsu told me that he heard everything. What I want to know is that why you're accepting that son of bitch's request."
" He…he told me that he'll give me bigger pay…if I do the job…"
" Is that all? Or is it because you have some grudge against me?"
". . . . ." Renkotsu slowly looked behind his shoulder. Jakotsu and Suikotsu were still watching him. He saw the small knife Jakotsu held in his hand. ' Only if I can get that to throw it to Bankotsu…'
" Well?" He heard Bankotsu's voice.
" Renkotsu…" Suikotsu spoke in between, "What is that you want? Why do you plan to leave the group? Weren't you the one who said about betrayal is for those fools that doesn't deserve to live in this world? What you're doing is what those fools out there will do."
" Hm." Renkotsu closed his eyes, " Yes…I remember saying that. But that was ages ago, Suikotsu. Now…I don't fuckin' care what they call me. As long as I get to blast a hole through that fuckin' head of yours Bankotsu…then I don't care." He then snaps his eyes open and jumps behind to where Jakotsu was standing. He caught Jakotsu by surprised and grabbed the small knife he was holding.
Bankotsu quickly pulled out the gun but Renkotsu quickly pulled an arm around Jakotsu's neck and hid behind him. He then pointed the knife towards Jakotsu's cheek, " If you don't want him to die then don't move!!"
" Chi…" Bankotsu clicked his tongue and slowly lowered the gun. " Renkotsu, you fuckin' bastard."
" Hm. Don't mind being called a bastard…now…give me the gun…or I'll stabbed his face!" Renkotsu shouted, " And don't even think about moving, Suikotsu! If you don't want him dead that is…"
Suikotsu, who was trying to go around him, clicked his tongue. " Jakotsu…"
" Ku…!" Jakotsu choked out as Renkotsu squeezed his neck with his arm. " Ba…Bankotsu! J…just shoot!! Don't listen to this guy!! Bankotsu!!"
" You know I can't do that…" Bankotsu gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes.
" Bankotsu!!"
"Renkotsu…" Suikotsu spoke, " Calm…yourself. You don't want to do this…you don't want to hurt Jakotsu…"
" Oh shut the fuck up! I told you…I don't fuckin care about what I do now. As long as I get the money, as long as I get to kill you…Bankotsu…" Renkotsu then closed his eyes and took a breath, " Now…slowly…and I said slowly, come here, Bankotsu and give me that gun you're holding. And don't even try to do anything cause if you do, I'll fuckin' swear I'll stab Jakotsu's head and won't even feel shit about it!"
" N…no! Bankotsu! Don't!!" Jakotsu shouted and Renkotsu squeezed his neck again. " Arrghhck!!"
" You fuckin' stay quiet, Jakotsu! If you don't want your beautiful face to all covered with cuts!"
" Why the hell should I listen to you!!?"
" Why you…!!"
" Alright, alright!!" Bankotsu shouted in between. His eyes were closed and seem to be in deep thoughts. He seemed opened them as though he made up his mind, " I'll give you the fuckin' gun. Happy now?"
" Bankotsu…" Suikotsu stepped in. But his leader stopped him with his hand.
" No, Suikotsu. I'll do this myself."
Bankotsu then walked up to Suikotsu's side, at the same time trying not to let Renkotsu see, and softly whispered in his ears.
" You still have that smoke bomb you were planning to use against Miroku?"
" ? "
" Come on, you have it or not?"
Suikotsu lowered his head but kept his stare at Renkotsu. He then whispered back, " Yes…"
" Kay, then give it to me. In my hand…don't make Renkotsu see."
Suikotsu slowly took out the smoke bomb he kept in his pocket and secretly handed to Bankotsu who quickly wrapped the small bottle in his hand tightly. Bankotsu then faced Renkotsu and started walking towards him, the gun in his right hand and the bottle in his left, tightly closed around his hand.
Renkotsu smirked, as Bankotsu got closer he held out his free hand. " Now…give me the gun. In my hand. Now."
" Bankotsu…"
Bankotsu kept his glare as he slowly placed the gun on Renkotsu's hand. The bald-headed teen wrapped his fingers around the cold metal as soon as it touches his hand and smirked. He then backs away, Jakotsu still locked in his arms, and pointed the gun towards Bankotsu.
"Now…stay there. Don't move." He said, " And I'll shoot you."
" Fuckin' bastard! Let me go now!!!" shouted Jakotsu in anger, " You got the gun back…now let me go!!"
" I never said I'll free you when I get it back." Renkotsu smirked, " Now just stay still and watch as I shoot our leader's head."
" No!! Bankotsu!!"
" Bankotsu!!"
Bankotsu raised one of his brows and smiled, " Really, Renkotsu. You really thought I'd just stay still and do nothing? Who do you think I am?"
" What!!?"
Bankotsu raised his left arm and quickly threw the bottle towards the ground. The bottle smashed and a blue-ish white smoke exploded out from it. Suikotsu and Bankotsu quickly covered their mouths the instant the smoke came out. Renkotsu gasped in shock and looks around as smoke surrounds him and Jakotsu.
" What the…!" Jakotsu looked around and suddenly felt being pulled. " Whoa…!!!"
He looked up to see Bankotsu's smiling face, " Bankotsu!!"
" You all right, Jakotsu?"
" Of course, who do you think I am?"
Suikotsu came running towards them in the smoke, " Bankotsu, Jakotsu! Let's get out of here now!!"
" Right!"
Renkotsu gritted his teeth in anger as he searched through the smoke, " Bankotsu!! Damn you!!!"
He aimed his gun and started shooting everywhere around him.
" Take this fuckin' bastard!!!"
Bang!!" !!? "
"…Jakotsu!!?"
