Note: In this chapter, things will get a little more bloodier. There will be more
violence and some action scenes. Plus, the two characters from a well known comics
will make an appearance from this chapter to Chapter 7.
Also, I stated in Chapter 3 that this fic would last up to Chapter 15. Well, there are
changes of plans. I'll be undergoing training in a call centre company in the
Philippines starting next week. Instead of continuing it, I'll end this fanfic up to
Chapter 7. But don't worry. I won't abandon it, 'coz I'll still continue to finish the
whole story, as I've yet to introduce the other two ghosts. In other words, I'm going to
make some revisions regarding the intro of the two ghosts and the romance between
Hajime and Momoko. (Kind of like sequels )
Meanwhile, after "The Ghost Hunt Continues" ends, I'm going to make a new fic that
will connect with this fic ("The Ghost Hunt Continues") and its sequels. And it's
going to be a T-Rated. Thank You.
Chapter 6: The Kidnapping
Three days have passed since incident at Highway 69. Momoko, despite what the
incident she went through, was able to overcome her trauma. She was given four more
days of confinement before she gets discharged from a hospital in Odaiba. Satsuki,
Leo, Aya, Fuko and Natsumi visited her in her room, telling them that the house
where Charles and his mom lived was abandoned, and the police continues their
pursuit. They told them that they answered all they could to the police about how
Charles killed his victim, although they made it appeared that he killed them by
locking them in a sealed room. Momoko understood that they couldn't tell them how
he killed them since they have no proof. Momoko and the others then went to
Hajime's room, where he is recuperating. Momoko was relieved that Hajime's
injuries weren't serious, and that in a week he will be discharged. She thanked him for
saving her from Charles and for risking his life for her. The others then started teasing
the two, Momoko told them to stop it, while Hajime blushed. Momoko's parents were
also there and thanked Hajime for his heroic act. Hajime's parents were there, looking
very concerned at what went through (At this time, both parents of Hajime and Momoko
were not aware of the Bradezukas' true nature since the gang did not tell them since they
knew that they wouldn't believe in such things as ghosts).
Meanwhile, at Charles' home, the police had just left the premises. They assumed that
they (Charles and his mom) had fled through his car several hours prior. They
searched the whole premises, came empty-handed. Unknown to them, Charles and his
mom had hidden themselves in their secret basement. When the police left, Charles
and his mom came out of hiding. Mrs. Bradezuka then notices that her son was
weakening, mainly because of his wounds and his hunger of life energy. "Please hold
on. You'll get well soon." She assured her son. She then gave a portion of her life
energy to Charles so he can last for, at least, two weeks. She then sets her plan in
action.
A week later, Things were back to normal for the gang, as they made their way to
school. Many of Momoko's schoolmates felt sympathy for her after learning of the
incident. And perhaps the biggest news that both junior and senior high students heard
was Hajime's bravery in dealing with Charles. Satsuki and the gang made it appear
that Charles used bladed weapons to take out Hajime, but Hajime somehow prevailed
and drove Charles away. This statement the gang made for the police was soon leaked
and the whole Seirin High students learned about the incident, and were impressed by
this. Even the "jocks" were amazed that a first year student was able to last that long
in dealing with Charles. And so the jocks decided not to bother Hajime again. In fact,
they came to respect him and now consider him their "friendly" rival. In fact some of the
jocks began to befriend Hajime, and even went as far as encouraging him to court
Momoko, much to Hajime's embarrassment. Leo heard of this and poke fun at his friend.
Momoko and her friends made their way to their classroom, and were greeted by her
class and batch mates. Hajime on the other hand, was greeted by a huge ovation from
his first year schoolmates. Cheers, praises and even howling sounds echoed
throughout the room. Hajime still has bandages wrapped around his forehead, and the
left side of his cheek was still taped with a band-aid. Hajime was taken aback by this,
yet he made his way to his seat. One of his classmates began teasing him that
"Momoko probably gave Hajime a kiss as a reward for saving her". Of course
Hajime blushed furiously, much to his classmates' delight. Leo just giggled over this
and decided to prepare his things. As class was dismissed, the gang decided to head
home. Momoko's friends and Leo went ahead while Hajime decided to escort
Momoko to her house. After that, he headed home.
Three days later, at around 8 pm,
Hajime was hiding over a tree, watching the Koigaburo residence from above. He had
a bad feeling that Charles might try and kidnap Momoko. He sent a text message to
the rest of the gang (through his cell phone) about what he is doing and that he will
text them again should something happen. One hour has passed and nothing bad
happened. Hajime was considering giving up his "spy game" routine for the night
should his watch reaches 10 o' clock. He knew that there is still a class tomorrow
(Friday), and he has to go home, but his concern over Momoko prevented him from
doing so. By 9:30 pm, Hajime noticed that a woman carrying a vase full of roses was
standing by the Koigaburo residence's door, and knocked. Hajime then recognized
her as Charles' mother. He then texted Leo on his cell phone and told him what was
taking place, and told him to alert the rest of the gang and to text the police, believing
that Charles was with her. He then turned his attention towards the Koigaburo
residence. Although it was not near enough, Hajime can at least hear the conversation,
as Mrs. Bradezuka introduced herself to Momoko's father. Mr. Koigaburo then
angrily told Mrs. Bradezuka that her son will never get near his daughter, and that
Charles is not worthy to be Momoko's boyfriend. Mrs. Bradezuka then smashed the
vase onto his head, knocking him unconscious. She then went inside the house.
Hajime was shocked to the core upon witnessing what transpired. He immediately got
down from the tree and checked on Momoko's father. He was alive, but his left
temple was bleeding and Hajime decided to use his handkerchief to wrap it around his
head, then moved his unconscious body to a safe place. He then proceeded to enter
the house. Once inside, he saw Mrs. Koigaburo slumped on the floor. He then came to
her side. He was relieved that she was still alive. She told Hajime that Mrs. Bradezuka
did this to her and is now looking for Momoko. Hajime took Mrs. Koigaburo to a
hidden place and told her not to make a sound. He also instructed her that "no matter
what happens, don't go after Mrs. Bradezuka." Hajime also told her that he would
rescue Momoko. He also told her that her husband is alive and he hid him near the
garage, so that Mrs. Bradezuka won't kill him should she find out that he was still
alive. Reluctantly, Mrs. Koigaburo agreed to Hajime's suggestion. Their discussion
was interrupted by the sound of a screaming girl. They realized that it was Momoko's
scream. Hajime then went towards the source of the scream. There he saw Charles'
mother, dragging Momoko by the hair. He decided to bid his time by hiding behind a
large vase. As the two women passed, Hajime "speared" her from behind, causing
Charles' mom to release her grip on Momoko. Momoko managed to run, but Mrs.
Koigaburo again grabbed her hair. Hajime managed to land a punch on her mouth,
causing her to bleed, but not enough to release her grip on Momoko. Charles' mom
then land a punch on Hajime's gut. She then threw him against a wall. Momoko was
terrified by this and tried to fight her way out, only to be punched by Mrs. Bradezuka
on her gut, weakening her. She then dragged Momoko away with her, not noticing
that Hajime was following her. Hajime, though hurt, tried not to make her notice him.
Looking back, he saw Momoko's mom, her face full of worry. Hajime nodded to his
head to Mrs. Koigaburo once, assuring her that Momoko will be saved. He then
slowly trailed the two women in front of him. As Hajime was getting near the two
women, he heard sirens blazing. He realized that three police have arrived on the
scene. There were at least 9 officers, three in each car. The police then told Mrs.
Bradezuka to release Momoko and turn herself in. Mrs. Bradezuka seemingly obliged,
placing Momoko over the front hood of the Jaguar. Then she suddenly attacked the
responding police officers. Despite firing their guns, Mrs. Bradezuka seemed to have
shown no ill-effects of the bullet wounds that struck her body. Hajime was shocked at
what he saw, and desperately tried to think of something to stop the woman from
taking Momoko. At that point, Kaia was running toward Hajime. At that moment,
Hajime recalled at how Kaia managed to weaken Charles. He also remembered about
the dozen cats that were standing outside Charles' house. Getting an idea, Hajime
reluctantly went inside the Jaguar's compartment, taking Kaia with him. After two
minutes, Hajime felt the Jaguar start moving. He then realized that there were no more
gunfire blaring. Hajime started to have mixed emotions, ranging from terror (feeling
scared, realizing that bullets couldn't stop Mrs. Bradezuka), to anger (became
infuriated that she was kidnapping Momoko just to feed her son), to determination
(his courage building up. Became determined to save Momoko). While driving,
Hajime texted to Leo about where they were heading. And even told him to bring an
entire army if needed. Hajime then stroke Kaia with his hands and said, "I know this
is too much for you to ask but, I need you to stop the Bradezukas while I get Momoko
to safety. And don't worry. You're not alone, and I'll make sure that you're going
home with us."
Back at Tokyo, at the scene where kidnapping took place, the G. A. S. gang saw
what's left of the carnage. They were a bit terrified as police carried off the bodies of
the fallen officers who first responded at the scene. They then approach an ambulance
where Momoko's mother was given medical attention. Satsuki assured to Mrs.
Koigaburo that her husband was OK (he was taken to a hospital), and that Hajime will
bring Momoko back. The gang then received Hajime's text. They read the text, only
to realized that Momoko was taken to Charles' house, and Hajime was right behind
them. They were also worried over what would happen to Momoko and Hajime. But
Satsuki assured to the gang that Kaia is with Hajime and that she is sure that they
would come back home safely. One of the police officers overheard the conversation
and offer to help them. At first they were hesitant because they couldn't tell him that
they're up against a ghost. But the officer told them that he overheard the gang talking
about ghosts, and that he is a Buddhist, and he believes in ghosts. The officer then
asks the gang to take him to where Charles is hiding so that he can call for back-up
when needed. The gang agreed and jumped into the police car, and the officer then
started the engine and headed to where the gang is leading him: To Charles' house,
and the officer stepped on the gas as they knew that time is running out.
Three houses away from the scene, two figures were standing behind the shadows,
overhearing everything what the officer and the six teenagers had discussed. The man
with shades and was wearing a black leather jacket, black pants, black boots and a
trench coat, started to load his shotgun. "It's time, G.R." He says. Behind him was
another figure, wearing the same outfit, but without shades and coat, just chains and a
flaming skull. "Yes, Blaze, it's time. Time for vengeance." Replied the mysterious
figure.
To Be Concluded…
The next chapter will be the last one. And there will be a lot of fighting. Hajime will
display his test of courage as he faces two ghosts in order to save his ladylove(?), and
will the gang make it there on time? And what about the two figures? What role do
they play and how will that help Hajime's case? What will happen after this? Will
they be a big help to Hajime and the gang?
Stay tuned for the final chapter: Showdown: Fall of the Sleepwalkers
All reviews are welcome, but flames are not.
