Chapter 3
I do not own Fate Stay Night. Well I have nothing to say except let the story progress. I seem to have finally downloaded first two movies so I will watch after uploading this chapter. Though I am excited as well as not because I am such an emotional person who can't handle emotional scenes. The fate of Sakura…..waaah!
It was just like any normal morning to Arturia. Though she had woken up late due to the matron throwing a party for the twins. They seemed to have partied all night. Those twins, Kimiko and Himari, seem to cling onto her and used their adorable puppy eyes on her. Arturia was of belief that 'Early to bed, Early to rise' but she seemed to cave into their demand. Mind you that she didn't find those puppy eyes adorable- really! It seems that Arturia was really popular among the children. It was for the fact that she would constantly protect them.
There were cases that sometime older mean boys would pick a fight with the orphanage children. One such incident happened to the twins. They were surrounded by ten to twelve age 15-16 boys. The twins were huddled up in each other's arm and were shaking in fear.
"Hey look, what do we have here? It's those friggin' orphans. What are you doin' on our turfs?"
"No- we were….we were just going… through this shortcut."
"Yeah…..please let us go!"
"Hmmm…."
One of those boy looked at them lecherously. Though the twins were only ten they were cute with their short shoulder length brown hair and big eyes. It was sickening but such was the nature of that boy. He was a bonafide pedophile. He was licking his lips
"Hey boss, I think we should teach them a lesson. I will gladly teach them a lesson or two."
The other boys looked at him in disgust but did not say anything. The 'boss' also looked at him in contempt but gestured to go on.
"Just don't kill or maim them."
That pedo boy looked at them in glee which further scared the twins. They were very scared. But before they could scream they heard a regal voice,
"What is going on here? Himari and Kimiko, didn't the matron ask you to not to go outside without adult supervision?"
Himari spoke while trembling,
"Waah! Arturia-san…We were so scared!"
Those twin seemed to have found the strength and both of them hugged Arturia. The other twin was so scared that she seemed to be shaking. Arturia was just returning from her training and had used a short-cut when she found this situation.
"Hm?"
Arturia frowned and looked at the other boys. Those boys were pests of the society. They had once tried to bully her as well but she out-maneuvered them because she didn't want to cause trouble for the Orphanage. One of them were looking lecherously that was not just aimed at the twins but also seemed to extend ….towards her as well...
Arturia's eyes narrowed as she formed a conclusion as why the twins clinging to her was crying now.
'This….This has just crossed the line'
She readied her wooded shinai.
"Himari! Kimiko! Get back to the orphanage. Leave this to me"
She smiled reassuringly but it seemed to have another effect on the twins. The sunlight at her back seemed to shine as it made her golden hair shine more and her smile turned enchanting as well as her emerald green determined and confident eyes. At first they seemed to be dazed and then both of them reddened at the same time. Arturia was worried. Just what was happening? Were they having instantaneous case of fever just like those women back in Britain whenever she would smile at them?
'Indeed such a fearsome disease, to have developed till to this day. But now is not the time to dwell. This is now a battlefield and a single distraction could mean defeat.'
Her eyes seemed to focus on the boys who were also looking dazed at her. When Arturia focused on those boys the twins seemed to return from their stupor. They looked at each other and nodded and fled.
"We…We will ask Matron-san for help. Please be safe…until then Arturia."
Himari seemed to redden when she spoke. Kimiko seemed to nod at her before they ran towards the Orphanage. That seemed to bring those boys out of their 'funk'. The pedo seemed to snarl at her for letting his prey escape. The boys looked at each other before trying to attack her foolishly. The leader seemed to have sensed something about her. He hadn't become their leader without some ability. He had sensed her to be a powerful opponent but by how much he did not know. But one thing was for sure that she could wipe out their riff-raff group of adolescent boys.
Arturia readied her stance. She gripped her shinai with two hands and kept her foot apart. One of the boys seemed to slug a sloppy punch at her. She misdirected it with her shinai to her right by flicking it and then as she flicked it she stuck the vulnerable neck part of the boy 1, instantaneously knocking him out. She then dashed towards the surprised boy 2 and thrust into his stomach. As the boy clutched his stomach in pain she struck his head from the side and knocked him out as well. She knocked two men in a mere span of a second.
The other boys seemed to look at each other and once again tried to attack her.
"Attack her all at once"
'Though they seem to be stupid for crying aloud their preferred strategy.'
They did not seem to last for 10 second. As they were separated earlier Arturia didn't give them a chance to recover. She took them down one by one, demonstrating her superior prowess with her shinai.
'Though she looks like a foreigner kid, but she's a fuckin' beast. She took out the boys within a minute….no in mere half a minute.'
The leader of the boy, who was the only one who did not attack her seemed to be thinking. Wincing at the part where she struck the pedo boy right in his nutsack, hard. Then she looked at him. Sighing he readied his stance. He had some idea on karate it seems. But to Arturia it seemed,
'Sloppy. The stance is full of holes. I thought he was some able warrior but it seems that he is just another riff-raff people who could do something productive to contribute to the society.'
Not wasting another second, Arturia decided to end this all up in a second. She had restricted her strength even if she wasn't using her Prana. Her body strength was proportional to a veteran athlete's. Not super human level and definitely not a servant-level. If she used her Prana in reinforcement, then she could boost her body level to super human limit border lining the lowest servant-level physical prowess. Reinforcement was the least she could actively use instead of her Prana Burst ability due to the fact that most of her Prana was passively used against warding the curse off.
Just for a second she seemed to disappear in the eyes of untrained people like the leader of the boy. Just from the corner of his eyes he could see something coming at him. His reaction was to instantly use his left hand as a shield but the strength behind the wooden shinai was too great to negate it as he was flung away like a ragdoll and lost consciousness. It seemed he had good instinct but not the power to back it up.
Ten minutes later
Footsteps could be heard along with the worried voices of twins as well as matrons.
"Hurry! It's this way!"
"I hope Arturia is all right…."
"Don't worry Madam Fubuki. We will beat up all the thugs as per the request of Master Raiga."
"I am still relieved that I have been held in high-esteem with Raiga-san."
"Oh don't worry, Madam Fubuki. Your husband had done a lot of contribution for the peace and development of city of Fuyuki that it has got even the gratitude of old Master Raiga. After all there are some things that only a politician can do that the Yakuza group can't do."
"I am still relieved to see that there are still some noble people around here…..but that's another matter. Let us hurry!"
The twins, matron and 6-7 brawny men in black suit and white shirt came to the place mentioned by the twins. But what greeted them was a sight to behold that everyone who witnessed along with some innocent bystander could not forget.
A little blonde girl of age 12 was fiercely looking at the boys who were sitting in a seiza position and were sweat-dropping. The girl then looked empathically at them with her shinai casually placed on her shoulder, which put a chill on their body causing them to sit in seiza more well-manneredly. She spoke in a haughty tone.
"What do you, scums of the society, have to say for yourself?"
"WE ARE SORRY! WE WILL REPENT! WE WILL RESPECT EVERYONE WHETHER THEY BE OLD OR YOUNG! WE WILL CONTRIBUTE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE SOCIETY!"
All of them spoke in a union as if they were the young soldiers reporting to their commander.
"What will you stop doing?"
"WE WILL STOP HARASSING OTHER! WE WILL START TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED! WE WILL ABSOLUTELY REFRAIN FROM HAVING DRUGS AND ALCOHOLS- do we have to?"
One of those boys spoke with uncertainty…..
CRACK
only to hear the concrete near him break due to the thrust of the shinai near him.
"Ekkkkkkk…."
"What do you have anything else to contribute?"
"No! Absolutely refrain from any social evils, MA'AM!"
"Hmmmm…That's good. Now if I get any news of this ever happening then I will make sure to poke this shinai into places that should never be poked. Understood?"
"SIR YES SIR!"
"Now SCRAM!"
The boys all ran as if there was a stampede behind them. Arturia couldn't help but smirk to herself.
'It seems my Rank B Charisma still works.'
Then she looked around to see the matron who was looking at her with a one raised eyebrow, the twins were looking at her in awe and again blushed. The brawny men were looking at her in confusion as to what the heck was going on. One of them spoke to the Matron.
"It seems the problem has been resolved. We shall escort you home then."
"Ah so it seems. Well thank you for rushing to help us in time of our need."
Fubuki said and then bowed. The man looked flustered at her display of gratitude,
"It's okay. We may be Yakuza, but we'd like to keep our place safe from harm. After all it is the place where we have lived all these years and we surely wouldn't want what happened ten years ago to rear its ugly head."
Fubuki nodded,
"True, those were the troubled days where crime ran rampart at any time of the day. Though what happened in the days before Fuyuki fire incident is also mysterious. I still haven't found one of my orphan Kazuto….."
"I am sorry Madam. We also seem to have no luck in finding those missing kids. The police too have stopped looking into them and declared them all to be missing. It did create public outrage but many people seem to have died in the Fuyuki fire incident. The authority have labelled all those kids as casualty of the fire as well."
They both seemed to discuss those events. Arturia had a smug expression as she was happy in 'reforming' those boys as she missed the entirety of the conversation. She only heard about reaching their destination. From that day onwards, Arturia's popularity seemed to have sky-rocketed. Now even the older children, mostly boys, seemed to be taking interest in her training regime. She gladly allowed them to warm up alongside her as well as jog. But she didn't seem too keen on letting them practice with her in sword training, much to the disappointment to the boys, so she had them return to the orphanage.
Hence her popularity increased. She seemed content with this life, a life where she was not burdened with the destiny to lead a country, where she could just live a normal life. Though she could not forget to train as there were mages as well in this era. She was truly happy, all except for one small thing.
She was commuting to Homurahara Middle School 1st year it seems (Fanfic writer note: Is there any middle school? I am confused or is it in the same building as high school?). Her eye twitched while thinking about it. Though there some mysterious case of orphans of the Fuyuki fire 'disappearing' causing her to be suspicious but she had no clue to start with.
It seemed that she was in the perfect year to start her ladder to school social life and she absolutely had no idea on the subject. Back in her time, she was instructed by Merlin as well as Sir Ector to learn to fight and for advice in her sword training. Not this…..mumbo jumbo of things called Math! Really the only history she knows of is the one of Britain not about Japan and the history on Britain too have many errors as literature had not been so developed in those time and some literature that did survive was somehow spotty as hell.
It seems there were some orphan children commuted to middle school if they were not adopted soon. And Arturia was on this part of the spectrum. Though
'Though the Matron squealed and promptly hugged me when I wore that blue dress….'
It seemed that the Middle school Homurahara dress with their dark blue sailor uniform with frock made her look extremely cute.
"Sigh… As they say you win some, you lose some."
That is not to say that she wasn't smart or something. She had lead her country and she was surely intelligent in educational matters. With the bits of information from the Holy grail, the Matron teaching her as well as her fast learning ability she learned everything like a sponge. It was not as if she aced her studies but she could get within top 20 in the entire Middle school 1st year in the mid-term tests.
The school seemed to have been delayed due to the Fuyuki fire incident so Arturia was transferred right in the middle of the term. She instantly became famous due to her foreign feature as well as her polite demeanor.
So she had established a time table for the day.
5 am: Wake up.
5-7 am: Train and jog alone.
7-8 am: Refresh, have breakfast and learn to do house-hold chore.
8-9 am: Leave the Orphanage along with Orphan students and send them to their school (Because the Orphanage was located near the forest she'd have to walk for little bit (30 min) to go to school.).
9-4 pm: School time as well as club time (She had taken kendo to watch Japanese style).
4-5 pm: Walk back to the Orphanage while picking up orphan kids from their school.
5-8 pm: Complete her Assignments as well as help other kids with their work (because they requested her with their puppy dog eyes knowing she was intelligent enough to help them).
8-9 pm: Eat dinner along with the rest of the family as well as watch cartoons with the childrens (Not that she would admit she found them intriguing at all).
9-9:30 pm: Help (learn) to do house-works.
9:30-10 pm: Review her Assignments (very important to do so) and go to sleep.
'It seemed adequate enough for the time being.'
Arturia thought as she was reviewing her assignments while wearing a red framed reading glass that the Matron had got (forced her as well as squealed as Arturia pouted when she had worn them) her to wear. Though she did not dislike the feeling of wearing them.
The Next Day
She woke up as usual. She had adjusted to her time table seamlessly and felt her growing body be tougher and stronger day by day. Few weeks had passed since she had started attending the school. She had her breakfast and got ready to go to the school. As she came down after being ready she was greeted by many hyperactive kids. The other children commuting to Homurahara Middle School along with her seemed to have little trouble in keeping them in check. Akira, one of the elementary kids, seemed to be quite excited,
"Hurry! Hurry! Artria-nee, today my friend is bringing his toys to school to play!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Hurry Nee-san!"
It seemed he still couldn't pronounce her name properly as well as others had given up using her name. The twins, Himari and Kimiko, too seemed to be excited. Arturia nodded as she was the last one to get ready. She smiled at them and looked back to see nobody but she knew that the Matron could hear them.
"We are off!"
The Matron seemed to reply in a cheery voice,
"Have a good day children."
"We will!"
Then they left the Orphanage. Altogether 15 children left the Orphanage along with Arturia. Arturia kept on a lookout for any signs of trouble as she thought of it as her duty. The elementary children all studied in one school and after sending them off the other 4 children along with Arturia left for Homurahara. There were 2 boys and 3 girls including Arturia. Small talks ensured to keep themselves occupied.
One of the boys, Kiba, spoke,
"So how much have you completed your Japanese assignment, Rekkusu?"
The other boy, Rekkusu, seemed to be surprised,
"What! There was Japanese assignment?"
"Hah? You are going to get so drilled by Yamato sensei."
Rekkusu looked pale before turning to Miyabi,
"PLEASE! MIYABI-SAMA! SHOW ME YOUR HOMEWORK!"
The girl, Miyabi's eyes twitched in annoyance before shrugging,
"Nope today you need to be punished! I cannot always show you my homework!"
"He totally deserves it!"
"You two are traitors!"
Those three seemed to argue while the remaining two girls looked at them. Those three were in the same section while the other two were in different section. Yoko and Arturia looked at each other before Yoko giggled and Arturia faintly smiled. Yoko tried to start a conversation,
"Say Arturia, are you ready for the Geography Surprise test?"
"Yoko-san, it is totally not a surprise test if the teacher had declared to be a 'Surprise Test tomorrow' you know?"
"Eh! Even if you say it like that, have you studied?"
"Well there are few things I still have to review."
"Haah! Arturia is a total Hack! How can you remember such things within just few weeks of coming to school?"
"With….pure…..dedication….."
Arturia said with dead eyes and deadpan voice, remembering the sleepless night she endured due to the devil of a Matron behind her, watching and teaching her intently. Her Matron was worse than Sir Ector for sure.
Yoko did not know why but she got a shiver down her spine.
They reached the school with 5 minutes to spare. Arturia and Yoko bid their goodbye to the other three and went to their classroom. Yoko and Arturia seemed to reach their class as they open their homeroom door and entered. Many students had arrived till then. They chatted among each other and had formed their own group. But it seemed that Yoko and Arturia was the only one without a group so they chatted with each other. When Arturia had first transferred to this class she was quite popular. Being a blonde along with a foreign sounding name (she was not sure but she thinks that she had heard someone calling her very pretty). But it was revealed she was amnesiac from the fire and an orphan they would try to talk to her as not to ostracize her.
As she was quite helpful and smart she had won their heart. Right now her status pretty much can be described as "Friend of Everyone but not that close enough to be considered as a real part of their group" but she could integrate herself to any group.
Studies seemed to go on. Yoko and Arturia would choose to eat together in the classroom talking about mundane things. When it was during the club activities did Arturia enjoy the most.
After school Kendo-club activities hall
"Hah"
"Hah"
"Hah"
As they were first years they had done only the basic exercise- swing the wooden sword.
The concept of kendo was: To mold the mind and body. To cultivate a vigorous spirit. And through correct and structured training strive for improvement in the art of Kendo. To hold in esteem courtesy and honor. To associate with others with sincerity and to forever pursue the cultivation of oneself.
She would surely respect and follow such noble aspiration.
After they warmed up they would sit in seiza around a big square mat and see 3rd year student duel wearing Bogu, Kendogi and Hakama. She would note on their swordsmanship but found it lacking as she was well experienced than them by a very large margin. But Arturia was very patient. One interesting fact was that she could also wield a spear just fine. It seemed that she was not restricted by her Servant-class parameters. Though she started to train more in spear because she was still lacking her skill as she had only practiced her sword.
'Well I need to focus in my spear training using crude sticks as well as not neglect my sword training. Hah…..so much to focus on.'
Also she found out she could reinforce not only her body using Prana but also the object in direct contact with her hand. But she would need to focus to reinforce them because if she lost her concentration then she could very well blow up the object.
'It was far easier with my body because my body automatically distributes it evenly but it seems foreign objects should be handled with care lest I destroy them.'
A few months later
Just one year had passed since the Fuyuki fire incident. Shinto area of the town was rapidly developing. She was still avoiding the church as well as the insect familiars crawling in the city. She aided people when she could as it was the least she could do. This help ranged from helping people find their way, helping children to locate their parents to helping the elderly in carrying their load. She was often rewarded with a lolly pop which she had love for.
She was often aided by people in black suit who were from the Fujimura Yakuza group. It seems it was their habit to help people as well. They were pretty easy going people but to Arturia they were veterans of combat as well. They seemed to have some decent forms of combat. Arturia was initially alarmed but the people around her seemed to show no hostility towards them, some even waved at them. It impressed Arturia how much the people of Miyama city showed their trust to this Yakuza group.
As for her training, she advanced a little further into the woods but outside the Einzbern boundary field where she trained her more destructive power, namely Prana burst where she infuses and accumulates her magical energy into her weapon and body, momentarily injecting an arbitrary vector that allows for an exceptional boost of her abilities by instantaneously releasing the magical energy to reinforce herself. It was used in close combat to increase her combat abilities for an instant to overwhelm her enemies. This technique was where she based her fighting style. But due to the curse it was now heavily restricted. She could only use it 5 times a day without repercussion.
Arturia finished in top 10 of the entire 1st year students in the finals. She had finished top 15 in every mid-term and term exams before this. The Matron had given them all a party when they all passed their exam where everyone celebrated. It left an unknown warm feeling inside Arturia that she could not describe. This warm feeling help subside the effect of the curse to some extent, noted Arturia. The end ceremony happened and all the children of the orphans arrived to click the photos with the five middle school students.
It was 5 in the evening when they decided to leave. Well, all but one.
"But Arturia, you won't be joining us in going back to the orphanage?"
"No, Fubuki-san. I had promised to the students that I would help them in cleaning up the school yard. I am duty-bound to fulfill them. Besides all of you are going together so there is no need to worry about it."
"No Arturia! I am talking about you! You will be alone and it will be night. I simply cannot allow a single girl to return at night. It's too dangerous!"
Arturia simply shrugged,
"I can protect myself just fine."
"It's not about that!"
They simply stared at each other hard to erode each other's will. Just then one of the younger kid seemed to yawn. Frowning a bit, Fubuki was the one who caved in.
"All right but I except you to be back by 7 pm young lady."
"Ok, Fubuki-san. But there are high school students who will be helping us so I don't see your problem."
Fubuki tsukkomied at that,
"Because it's not that in the first place! Argh! My hair is going to go grey because of you!"
"You are still young Fubuki-san…"
Arturia's voice suddenly changed into more…seductive quality? You could even see the cherry blossom in the background!
"Oya, you speaking like that just gives me the creeps…. Hey don't just change the topic! ...ha…Everyone let's just go…"
Arturia seemed to smirk at that.
After they left, Arturia helped in cleaning up. One by one the middle schooler as well as high schooler left leaving just her and a brown haired girl who was wearing 3rd year middle school dress. They were the most physical able group despite Arturia being just 13 years old. They had just placed the last table inside the gym storeroom, the brown haired girl seemed to speak,
"Phew… that took a lot out of me. Nee? Nee? What about you?"
Arturia too had just finished her load of work. She looked at her only companion and quirked her eye brows before replying,
"Just so-so."
"Woah! You sure are strong!"
"…."
Arturia didn't reply as they both then packed up before heading out of the school compound.
"Hey! Its rude not to reply!"
"…"
But Arturia didn't care as she was focused on her surroundings. She felt that they were being watched so she kept a careful watch on her surroundings.
"Hel—lo! The name's Taiga by the way! I am from starting high school from next year you know? What's your name? I think I had seen you in kendo classes but you only seem to observe the class."
"…..Arturia."
"Hah! So you can speak after all!"
"…."
Then a minute of silence passed between the two as they walked along the footpath. Then another minute and the girl whose name was Taiga seemed to fidget and too kept her attention if her shifting uncomfortably was any indication.
'It seems that she has good instinct though.'
Then suddenly Taiga seemed to scream and it made the already tense Arturia suddenly assume a fighting stance.
"HIIIIIIIII…..! Umu! I am so bad at talking to others!"
Taiga seemed to grab her head,
"But I did promise to Waver-san and Rider-san that I'd be more outgoing as well. It just I can't seem to talk to anyone—except Shirou? But I like to tease him a bit? I just want to poke fun at him! Mess with his kitchen! And then I would…"
At first Arturia wanted to say that she was a bad conversationalist. Even during her reign, she did not speak for more than a few words but her knights did understand it. But after the later sentences progressed she felt her sympathy getting kicked out of the window and just kept walking as if Taiga wasn't there.
They just kept walking until a intersection was nearby where she hopefully would part ways with the rambling Taiga…..Taiga…..Tiger? Then just as they reached the intersection, suddenly three vans that were parked nearby opened up and came out thugs with what looked like bat with nails on it.
"Oy! Oy! Everyone capture the Fujimura brat!"
At that declaration every person seemed to dash towards them. There was little distance between them.
'This is bad. My focus shifted towards this rambling Tiger and I lost my vigilance. Carelessness is the worst mistake on a battlefield and I did just that despite preaching about it to others.'
She dodged the blunt weapons with ease due to her small stature. On the other hand, Taiga seemed to be struggling with the onslaught of men targeting her. Just then Taiga seemed to slip and the men smacked her head with the bat, knocking her unconscious.
"….!"
BANG!
Just as Arturia was about to flood her body with Prana in mid-air her instinct seemed to react to something small coming at her in high speed. She tried her best to dodge in mid-air by twisting her body to make her body difficult to target but it still ended up hitting her in the shoulder. A sharp pain seemed to register on her shoulder before she fell down and rolled away due to the momentum. Blood seemed to escape and she felt dizzy before her visions went dark.
'Ah! I was too careless…'
Third POV
The thug seemed to be enraged at the careless action of his henchman.
"What the fuck did you just do? Really? Shooting a ….. middle school girl was your best fucking answer?!"
"Hiiii! Sorry boss, but it is not the Fujimura so we are fine? Aren't we?"
"No, you shitty dumb mutt! Everyone hurry up and take these two away to the hideout! And clean up all this mess!"
One of them seemed to be confused.
"Why boss?"
"Because, you dumb fuck, that the hideout is just a kilometer from here. The surrounding people might have heard the gun shot but they would not know if it was from a gun or just another small harmless blast. But they would still report it to the police thanks to the Fire a year ago. The police seem to trust the Yakuza here so preparation for transferring to the next hideout would take a while so we need all the attention 'not on this area'. The blood will be cleaned but the body would be difficult to clean up without any tracks leaving behind. So shut up, just do the damn job and clean up all the blood as there is not much of it."
"Yes boss."
Arturia had heard from the second half of the conversation but she acted like she was still unconscious. It was quite a while since she had seen firearms which took her by surprise.
'Really!? Am I just a magnet for trouble?'
"Ah Fuck! Just why did I accept this damn hooligan business anyway? Just a fucking waste of my time. Just one of the reason why you don't give a damn noob a damn gun! Shooting a child? *Spit* I need a raise from my current salary."
After a minute or two, Arturia could feel herself be carried off harshly causing her pain on her bloody shoulder along with the unconscious Taiga who seemed to be in a blissful sleep despite the bump on her head mumbling-…..
"Ah Shirou…..more food…."
At least one of them seemed to be enjoying this a bit.
At the Fujimura Household
Raiga Fujimura was very worried at the moment. His granddaughter had still not arrived from her school. On top of that an unknown group of riff raff mobs seemed to be causing trouble everywhere in the city. The Fujimura group was already stretched thin trying to deal with them and now his granddaughter seemed to be missing. He had taken care of her since she was a small kid along with his son-in-law who was also a member of the Yakuza after Taiga's mom was gone. Gone to a place no one could reach if they are still breathing.
His group always consist of people having 'anything-goes-attitude' but now at this serious moment they were not displaying any of that. One of them came in,
"I think I may have a lead, Fujimura-dono"
"What is it?"
"It seems that just 2 hour ago, some local people reported to have heard akin to a loud bang near the route that Miss Fujimura used to take. The police had arrived and after a quick check found nothing at the area."
"Hmmm…."
"If I am correct, the one that have kidnapped Miss Fujimura may be in possession of a fire-arm and could have possibly use-.."
Just then everyone in the room could feel the aura of rage and bloodlust that seemed to seep out of Raiga's body. He seemed to chuckle a bit,
"Good….Very Good…..If they have harmed her in any way then I will make sure to remind them why we are still the Yakuza group."
Many people in the room were reminded of the fact that Raiga was once a warrior forged by the gang-wars of Fuyuki 10 years ago, from whose ashes was born 'The Fujimura Yakuza group'.
'And speaking of the Gang war…'
"I still have something….else to report, Fujimura-dono."
"What is it?"
"This …. Incident….seemed to have been instigated by someone….who seemed to have connection with the one that instigated the previous gang-war."
The room was pin drop silent. Everyone's serious attitude simply worsened and was replaced with wide eyes surprise, especially Raiga's.
"Then we need to find Taiga fast!"
"Raigad dono! We have got a call from the orphanage. It seemed that she is missing. The students said that she was last seen together with Taiga."
"Shit!"
I am breaking this chapter into 2 parts.
