Chapter 3: First Case Gone Strange
Written By AnimayWriteY0
[At Kinki Prefecture, Division 3 Police Department]
After a delightful and relaxing celebration night after Sanada's successful hire in Kinki prefecture, the area district that also includes Arashiyama. This job is the perfect position for Sanada since he's well suited to take on recent cases along with unsolved ones that catches his interest. The best part about this is the fact that the commute is much closer to his grandmother's home. The thing he has to do now is figure out the case that he had been assigned to solve. Sanada gave Yakimori a call to discuss the recent case.
Yakimori Jingo is a seasoned active state police officer who is capable of chasing down anyone who dared to run away under his watch. A natural born parkour artist, one who is quite the opposition between him and Sanada Shibumi. Fast, quick-thinking, agile, and quite the humble guy. The two are assigned together as buddy cop duos under the orders of their police chief. Not because Sanada needed guidance under a more experienced officer. But to balance out their individual flaws from one another. Sanada being quite slow yet perceptive, along with Yakimori's quick action paired with his recklessness. And so, the two unknowing cop companions are given a task to look into their first case as police partners.
As Sanada arrived at his new workplace, the newcomer officer took a deep breath staring up at the building knowing that this would be a difficult task to handle with someone by his side. He may have experience in the police force previous to his work from the west, but he hasn't gotten used to how this new environment from within his own birthplace.
"Okay, this is it. I might as well just get it over with" Sanada thought, rightfully nervous of his first day on the job. As he entered the building, he's been greeted with a couple of police officers, ranging from novice deputies to the experienced veterans. Just as he bowed to the group his soon to be working partner Yakimori Jingo came behind him and slapped his back with such force it brought Sanada to a frantic state and sheepish grunt.
"Hey there man! It's great seeing someone like you be a part of this division!" Yakimori laughed placing his hand on Sanada's shoulder. "Man, I can already tell, you know your way around a place like this?" The twitchy eyed Sanada just stood up straight and fixes his tie while looking daggers at his new co-companion on work duty. "Yeah, sure...I so happen to know what it's like to work with a bunch of crazies oh, I'm sure." Sanada obviously still pretty sore from that back slap. Some officers around Sanada took a bit of offense from his comment yet one by one started to laugh after seeing through his blatant sarcasm.
Obviously nervous, Sanada has dealt with crimes ranging from simple burglary to the most heinous of crimes. So, he shouldn't feel any more doubtful of his abilities to crack cases. Soon enough he and Yakimori looked into their assigned job case. A missing persons case, a 16-year-old high school boy name Ryumo Ekijo who hasn't been heard from by any of his relatives and even from his peers. The worst part is the fact that there are no leads that would help them get a head start to this case.
Both detectives tried to think of a way to play out this scenario. So, they turned their attention on their forensic identification expert Kei Wume to look into his records from criminal activity, his place of education, and any known involvement concerning his disappearance. Fortunately, the boy is clean, no such activities that are harmful to society, and is a former student from Saikyo High School. Both officers are confident of where to start. Investigate his disappearance with the only known location he's last seen, his school and ask any of his teachers and principal for any important leads. As for the motive for his abrupt departure, it feels quite illogical because of is affluent family being financially secured.
So, with that, the two detectives are off to Saikyo High School, Yakimori being the driver and Sanada riding shotgun. "It's strange that a boy his age would resort to running away from home despite living in a wealthy lifestyle. Do you happen to know exactly why he did that?" Sanada's comment has a valid point, yet Yakimori countered this with his own thoughts explaining Sanada that it could relate to parental abuse such as neglect or child abuse, which are plausible motivators for Ryumo to run away. "If there's a chance his parents has been physically or verbally abusing Ryumo then this case would have been closed the moment it turned out true. But it looks to me coming from you there's more to this." Sanada shrugs as he turns to his watch. "Not long before we reach his school but going back to the topic. I only have this gut feeling because of how blatantly strange this case is." Yakimori raises an eyebrow from that. "You really think it's that weird? Man, you gotta chill out with your conspiracy shtick." Sanada rolled his eyes from that remark.
Despite their conflicting thoughts of this, they can't assume things without finding at least some leads or evidence that would help bring a much better picture of this scenario. As the two drove by Uzumasa, Sanada can see the school ahead and addresses his detective partner to stop right by the gate. Once the two men got out of their vehicle and entered the high school, they are greeted by the nearest teacher who inform them about Ryumo's sudden long absence. Sanada being the more professional and formal introduced himself."Hello Miss, we're the detectives working on this case of the missing boy named Ryumo Ekijo. We would like to hear some of his teachers or peers regarding to his obvious disappearance." The teacher thought for a few minutes until she found her words to speak to the two.
"Hmm? Ekijo San? I haven't heard from him in the last 3 months ago but I do know who well acquaintance with him is. His history Teacher Mrs. Tanoshi San, both of them have quite the bond, somewhat like a mentor/pupil type relationship." Yakimori being the next to respond after Sanada proceeds to ask the teacher to take them to Mrs. Tanoshi San. "If it doesn't trouble you Miss but would you kindly take us to her classroom?" He spoke with a firm tone and yet laid-back posture while chewing bits of his toothpick.
The young teacher obliges and shows them to Ryumo's history teacher who has had the latest contact with Ryumo before his long absence, Uko Tanoshi. The cooperative teacher escorted them straight to Mrs. Tanoshi's classroom, unfortunately she's still busy with her current 5th period class. So, the next best thing is to take the two detectives to the principal's office for information about the missing boy. Sanada nods asking the teacher one last favor to let Mrs. Tanoshi know that if necessary, have her come to the principal's office to discuss after her class period. The teacher agreed as both the officers went straight to the main office. Once informing the front desk associate about their case, they are asked to wait 5 to 10 minutes until they are called.
[Back at Kyoto-shi Nishikyo Ku, the Shibumi Residence]
During the search for the missing boy, back at the Shibumi residence. Himiko has dressed up for another grocery run to stock up for the next week. Given the list, she's tasked to buy 5 pounds of beef, 1 pound of shrimp, 2 cans of quail eggs, some vegetables like green onions, shiitake mushrooms, lettuce and some rice noodles to add in a bit of carbs on the menu. Tonight is going to be sukiyaki for supper.
"Himiko before you go, I like you to use this umbrella, it's shade will keep you from getting any sun burns and heat strokes, okay?" Sajime hands her granddaughter a large umbrella with a yellow and white pattern on each side. "Be sure to give me a call once you have all the necessary ingredients for our meal tonight alright sweetie?" Himiko brightly smiled while holding onto the neatly decorative umbrella. "I will grandmother thank you! I love you!" Himiko hugs her grandmother. After that, Himiko immediately put her usual walking shoes on and proceeds to see herself off to get the mentioned grocery items.
[Near Uzumasa Transit Station]
On her travels, Himiko uses public transportation by going to Arashiyama subway station to get on one of the trains that takes her to Uzumasa station. The same one her brother used to get to work. Once on said train, the bubbly brunette took out her phone and set her gps map searching for the nearest supermarket. Several came up as the nearest one came up on top of her app list, Fresco Super Market which is about a 15-minute walk down South from Uzumasa station. With that, Himiko proceeded merrily.
As soon as the train stopped at the next drop off location, the young lady got off the train and opened the umbrella to help keep her cool from the hot weather. Luckily for her she brought an ice-cold water bottle in her purse to keep her hydrated. Minutes has passed and she finally noticed a big blue sign from afar that says Fresco. She went into the store grabbing a basket and starts picking up all the necessary ingredients for dinner. Once she has everything in the basket, she began to wonder how her brother's doing on his job.
"Goodness his first day, and he already got a pretty decent case to solve. I just hope he does find the person.." She informed herself subconsciously. Feeling quite antsy to call her brother on his progress checking how he's doing from her usual checkup calls. Unluckily the moment she puts her brother on dial call it immediately responds to his voice message notice indicating he turned off or locked his phone. Himiko sighed but understood because he has always been one to follow the rules that's present to him on the job.
After buying everything from the cash register and bagging up all the ingredients, Himiko began walking back to Uzumasa station so she can return home on time. In a corner of her eye, she sees a Ikagiru convenient store near by the station. And in good timing her stomach begins to growl for sustenance, with that she goes in the store helping herself with some snacks. Once out, she ate her meat bun strolling down the sidewalk until she felt someone following her, now scared and not knowing any other way to go she starts to go to different areas of Uzumasa to try and figure out each familiar buildings she saw to know where she previously rid the train. However, the unknown stalker is still on her tracks as the completely panicking Himiko tried to use the crowd as a way to make the pursuer lose her by sight. She consistently calls her brother hoping he would pick up but to no avail so she made an emergency message to leave him so he could notice it on time. Himiko looked back to see that she had just lost the person following her path but unfortunately because of her constant looking backs she made the wrong turn leaving her into a dead-end alleyway.
To make matters worse the moment she turned around the pursuer had just found her. Fearing for her life, she called for help but then the shady individual lunged at her grabbing her by the neck with both of his tight gripping hands before she could start screaming out loud. Himiko cried clearly chocking for air trying her damned hardest to fight off the attackers ever increasing grip from his hands. "P—Please let g-go of me!" Himiko begged as her whole face gradually started to go pale the longer, she can't breathe.
"Shut up! Do you have any idea what you had done to me!? You poor excuse of human waste! You ruined my life! Taken everything from me! And now you begged for my mercy?! When I asked for it, you have left me to rot!" The stranger who continues to put as much force into his grip as possible onto a very scared yet confused Himiko Shibumi.
Himiko eyes are in total shock from what this person said. It was as if he knew her despite the fact that the struggling brunette doesn't know exactly who this person is. She held the persons hands tight to fight off his grip crying and begging him that he clearly has the wrong person. To her overwhelming luck the sun shined at the dark corners of the alley way. Himiko took a good glance at the person, a young man whose pretty much still in high school and clearly the same age as her. He has blond spiky hair, his eye pupils are brown and there's a distinct scar on the boy's right cheek. Suddenly she noticed the boy's expression changed from anger to sheer panic as he immediately released his hands off her neck, going down on all fours to her ground level and apologizes repeatably. Despite the change of behavior Himiko let out a cry for help as the boy ran off to try and avoid further commotion leaving the scene.
[15 minutes waiting in Saikyo High]
Meanwhile, back at Saikyo High School, Sanada and Yakimori are currently conducting an interview with the principal to get some valuable bits of information. The principal told the two gentlemen about Ryumo being a successful honors student back when he was at his sophomore years. How he's a very kindhearted, hardworking, humble young man who strove to meet his goals. As the principal explained further Yakimori is in the process of writing down his claim for record and findings. Sanada processes his own views on the young man's behavior based on the principal's description of Ryumo. The glaring detective then asked if there are any sort of changes by the time he was enrolled on Junior year. Then it hit, a very interesting revelation has been brought to the detectives. The principal stated that Ryumo did exhibit changes ever since he has been hanging with a young teenage girl. For a good few week his behavior is more quiet, evasive, and somewhat refusing to participate on school activities, and show hostility when being pressured or asked. Sanada informed the principal to stop there and asked his investigation partner to see what he thinks of this potential find?
"A pretty successful boy who then turned into a rebellious delinquent just for a girl? So it's one of those stories?" Yakimori sighed believing this case is such a big waste of time. "Come on, so you're telling us that this kid actually changed his priorities for just a girl?!" The principal sweat drops seeing the obvious annoyed look Yakimori's currently exhibiting.
Yet Sanada thought otherwise about this and have the principal proceed more information primarily what the boy looked like. The boy has blonde spiky hair with brown eyes, but the most distinct feature is his scar from his right cheek which was not present from him on his previous 2 years until his junior year. After that intel it looks like that would be all the principal can offer. Before the two-bid farewell to the principal for his cooperation Sanada forgot to ask the principal if he know the girl Ryumo has been hanging out with. Just before he can answer Yakimori told Sanada that they have more than enough information. Which ultimately causes Sanada to grow a tick mark on his forehead.
"Come on man, that's all we need about the kid, haven't you checked on your phone to tell the time? We must have been here for over 2 hours..." Yakimori groaned feeling quite annoyed at the thought of being stuck here without any sort of action available to him. "Alright, alright. Let's se- Oh! Oh no!" Sanada's expression changed from annoyed to absolute horror as he realized that his younger sister has called him 7 times and messaged him multiple times that she's been attacked. "Damn it!" He rushes out of the school and to the cop car, Yakimori follow him to keep up with his sudden outburst.
"Sanada! Hey wait up! What's wrong man!" The tooth chewing officer pants as he managed to arrive on time before Sanada ignites the car to run and immediately drives. "Hey! Not too fast man! What's up!?"
"I'm such an idiot to keep my phone off! My sister's been attacked!" He evades incoming cars and turns the siren to keep them out of his way and drives towards the destination where Himiko left for him on one of her messages. Yakimori then realizes this and just follow his way. But as he glances at the side window, he notices a boy running pass a crowd of people as he told Sanada to stop and got off the car. "Jingo San what are you doing?!"
"I just saw our boy! Just go get your sister, I'm going after him. This is our chance to bring him in man! Just go on without me!" Yakimori swiftly ran after Ryumo.
With that Sanada and Yakimori went on separately. Sanada looking for his sister and Yakimori going after Ryumo. Sanada looked up on one of Himiko's texts and to his shock sees his sister's picture of a location just 4 blocks away from where he just left. He couldn't believe how close she is from his workplace, her recent location she sent is an alleyway between a cafe and a thrift shop. He arrived at the location shown by the picture and saw the alleyway, however Himiko wasn't there on the spot. To his absolute panic he called out for Himiko, which his cry for her caused a commotion as some civilians tried to figure out what the fuss is about. In a state of frustration due to his failures to be more aware had made him lose his little sister he cared so much for however one civilian walked toward him patting him on the shoulder along asking the obviously distressed young man if he's looking for a girl name Himiko. Sanada looked up and pleaded the person where she is. The woman informs him that she's currently at the Kyoto city hospital.
"Oh no!...I'm too late" Sanada fell to the ground and beginning to cry realizing he failed to keep his sister safe at all costs. But the woman informs him that she's fine but in a state of shock as the woman is the one who helped her and called 911 on behalf of Himiko. For that Sanada thanked the lady humbly and immediately drove straight to Kyoto city hospital taking another 30 minute to get there. Just as Sanada goes in the hospital, he hastily informs the front desk associate of his sister's presence here and tells him that he's a detective of Division 3. The front desk associate grants Sanada full access to room 114 which his sister is currently residing in. He goes in to meet with his sister. After scanning through the numbered rooms Sanada saw room 114 ahead of him and decides to check up on his sister. Himiko currently resting on the hospital bed gripped her umbrella tightly while she turns to the opened door and sees her brother right in front of her. The obviously scared brunette calls out her onii chan raising both her hands to him.
"Himiko! Thank god you're okay!" He immediately hugs her close to him as tears run down his cheeks grateful she's fine. "Onii-chan! I was so scared! I...I thought I…" Her eyes drenched with her own tears holding her brother close unable to let go due to how traumatized she felt.
"Shh Shh….I know I know….I can't imagine how bad that must have felt...I'm so sorry I failed to keep you safe and for my stupid idiotic self to even turn off my damn phone! I'm such a stupid moron!" After beating himself down, Sanada lets his sister go and sat beside her asking why she was on her own along with the experience she just had that caused the attack? Another half an hour passed by as Himiko told her brother everything she had done. "So...this boy thought you were someone else to him?..I don't get it through...but one thing for certain whoever did this to you is really going to get it!" A few more minutes after Sanada spent some time with his sister, the obviously angry detective gave a call to his headquarters on what he's been up. To his relief Yakimori had already notified Sanada's predicament with his sister to his superiors as they are okay with his current condition. Then another call came in and it's Yakimori himself informing Sanada that he got their missing boy.
"Alright I'm on my way. Hey, can I bring my sister with me? I don't feel okay having her alone again." His partner and the other guys said yes which led Sanada to close his eyes and took a deep breathe in gratitude. Once the stern eyed brother hung up the phone and had a chat with the nurse and doctor to let his sister off the hospital, the doctors and nurses are hesitant but let Himiko go since her only injury are the scrap marks on her neck. With that permission of dismissal both siblings are off their way straight to Ukyo Ward Office to meet with the rest of Division 3 officers.
After arriving and entering into the main building Yakimori ran up to his partner and greeted his sister. "Hey man glad you're back, hi Miss Shibumi San. Looks like your big bro gave you a hard time?" He smirks at his partner for is blatant overprotective nature. Which ultimately causes the steaming older brother of Himiko to rant at him.
"Idiot! Now is not the time for that..." Sanada grunts with his eyes twitching out of annoyance. "So, I heard Ryumo is in the interrogation room right now?"
Kei joined the circle while being a bit closer to Sanada. "Yes, but unfortunately what we got from him is a bunch of ghost stories and something about a dark ritual?" The forensics specialist re-arranged her glasses while seeing Yakimori do a wolf eyebrow raise clearing seeing her intentions. Kei blushes while giving a small glance at Sanada.
Sanada now intrigued to meet with this Ryumo kid wants to give it a go. "Hmm...then let me give it a try... hope he spills something about why he did what he did to go off grid with not only those who know him and his own family." Kei obliged and asked if he wants his sister to be present during his turn of interrogation. He nodded just for her safety.
So the group went on to the interrogation room where the boy is occupied by the recent interrogator doing his absolute best to get him to speak more rational things. Unfortunately their interrogator left out of the room feeling agitated at the fact the boy is a loon. Coming out of the room is another police officer well known by the other ranking officers in Division 3, Sasiki Utochi.
"Nothing's working, all we can get from him is this story about a demon to another story of a girl who cried wolf bull crap. Nothing he says makes sense to his absence from his family and school." The agitated Sasiki rubbed his forehead in utter irritation from such a headache.
Sanada steps up asking to give the boy a talking over. "Utochi San, let me try. I believe maybe I can give a different approach to see if he can say something realistically." The fellow red headed officer raises his eyebrow at Sanada. "Well alright but can't say I didn't warn ya, this kid is one head turning riot." Sanada rolling his eyes at such a terrible phrase Sasiki said and just gets ready to talk to the distressed young boy.
Before he can close the door fully, he heard his sister gasp and shockingly stated that the boy they have in the room is actually the boy who attacked her. The rest of the team blankly looked at Sanada's sister and slowly back at their new companion. They already saw his body language reaction, Sanada's body shakes, his hand clenched into a fist with sheer tightness, and riled tension. The now pissed off Sanada immediate storms right in the room slamming the door behind him which worried the entire spectators.
Yakimori being the first to break out this deathly silent room. "Oh crap... Now this isn't good…." He facepalmed recognizing that this next interrogation is going to be one that no one shouldn't have to deal with at all. Pretty much everyone in the room could feel the rage radiating within Sanada as he just silently sat at the other end of the table with Ryumo.
"So….I see you have been doing some things you shouldn't be doing at all…" Sanada obviously enraged but kept his cool for the sake of is credibility of being a professional investigator so he tried to let his personal feelings aside the best he can. "Ryumo is it? Why were you out and about ditching school and not letting your family know where you are?"
The scared teenage boy looked directly at the deathly glaring young detective while the now scared young man asked. "Who are you? Why do you guys keep pushing me around?!"
"We are doing this to see why you even decided to act so differently at school and ditching your parents? You were doing so well..and suddenly by your time being in junior year you just flopped. Why is that?" His composure is coming back despite his anger towards this boy for being the one responsible for laying his hands on his sister.
"You don't understand! All of you don't understand! I have to deal with the worst thing I have ever have to deal with the moment I met her!" His raised temperament and vocal tone have gotten a bit far until Sanada silence him with a slam on the table. That one was for the last thing he said.
As the two in the room are having their conversation, the crew are following this from the speaker that connects to the other room to hear what they're saying. From that last comment everyone had assumed Ryumo's talking about Sanada's sister since he did attack her out of the blue. They also noticed Sanada's composer slowly starting to slip as his tone is even more contemptuous.
"Whose her? Are you talking about my sister you tried to kill?!" He glared at the now timid boy from Sanada's outburst and caught what he just said. "The brown-haired girl who happened to be holding lots of groceries is my sister in which you had your dirty little hands on her!" Sanada clearly wanting to hurt this little punk but tried his damnedest to stay composed as possible.
"Y-you mean the girl I attacked w-was your sister? Look, I-I didn't mean to!...I-I..." The boy now in a state of high anxiety tried to speak but couldn't find the words to back up his innocence and misunderstanding. "I thought she looked like Ai Fujisawa!..."
Then out of a blink of an eye the rest of the team caught the name Ryumo mentioned. And just before Sanada tries to pressure him any further, the team stopped him on speaker informing the stern eyed protective brother to go straight into the planning room with the others so they can show him some stuff that they have relating to their previous case. With that order, Sanada left the interrogation room and checks out what the team has to offer from their sudden discovery after hearing the name of Ai Fujisawa.
As Sanada read an old case file, he noticed that Ai Fujisawa was the girl that had been labeled as deceased the same year where Ryumo claimed to have hung out with her during his freshman and sophomore years. Sanada asked his team if they were handling the case. To their extent no, in fact the ones who had made this case closed in the first place was Division 5 at the Kita ward department. This sort of case has really started to get under everyone's skin now that they know something is clearly off from this discovery, flat out shady. With that, the gang decides that it's time to pack up and leave for the next day of work. As for Sanada, he starts to wonder how much more will be revealed if he pushes on the new outlook of how this "Division 5" handles their police case and how much more truth is being hidden by the rest of the other Division departments.

Sanada's Journal Part 1
(Sanada at Age 6)
Day 1
Mom...I-I really don't know what I should do! Without you! I... I don't know how I'll ever take care of Himiko! Please, I really wish you're here! I'm scared! I just can't see myself doing it! B-But if it's the promise you made for me taking care of Himiko then...I'll give my best shot!
I just don't know where to start. I'm so scared that I'll end up getting Himiko hurt! I don't have money, I have no idea on how to look after a baby!...I'm still a kid myself!
Day 13
Mom I somehow manage to get some formula for Himiko... a married couple who owned a bar offered some of it with hot water and a baby bottle. I 've also been saving up due to doing spit shine for people who walk by...I even got 5,000 yen! That's enough to get some more formula for Himiko! Don't worry, I only use it for water and food. I know it's not okay to use it on things that don't feed us.
The food I've been eating are usually just those 150-yen noodle cups, I know I shouldn't eat those all the time mom, but it's by far the best I can afford at the moment...heh if you're still here I know you'll try to get me to stop eating too much of it...Mom I really do miss you...! Right now all I'm thinking about is getting Himiko's next formula supper ready!...I got to go! Himiko is starting to get hungry!
Day 21 - Day 23
This is by far the worst days I had to deal with...Mom, there were a bunch of older kids who kept picking on me and Himiko when I was trying to do my usual spit shine for people's shoes...The boy with a spiky mohawk took my rag and threw it in the middle of the streets! The other boys even took all of my hard-earned scraps and change! I tried to defend myself, but they are 2 times bigger than me and there's 3 of them. So I had no choice but to let them take it...Luckily someone who saw what happened took his time to get my rag and offered me 1,000 yen to make up for my loss earlier. I thanked the person for it.
Hoping things like that wouldn't happen again...I was so wrong; the same punks came to my spot again and demand me more of my money again...I've only used the remaining money I saved up just to get Himiko's next batch of formula. I haven't even ate anything yesturday because of them, and it looked like they want to make this a permanent thing with me. The same mohawk guy demanded me to handover basically all of my savings and valuables...I've had enough with these guys so I made it clear that I won't hand over all of my stuff to them. But that only made all of them more angry and decided to beat me down with every inch of life I had, kicking me, punching me, and calling me hurtful names...It was too much. The worst part is, this time no one around didn't bother to stop these guys! They just walk on by as if we weren't even there!
Even if I moved to a different location, those punks keep following and stalking me and demand the same things, and if I don't comply, they'll continue to beat me. I'm bruised, battered, hurt, and most of all broke, again, and again, and again! I just don't get why no one ever stood up and keep those punk guys in check! It got even worse when they put my sister into this! On 23rd day at night, those monsters made it clear to me that they're getting bored of taking money from me, so at first, I thought they're finally going to stop. Then one of them decided to try and take my sister away from me saying that she'll fetch a good price! I didn't care if I get hurt! I won't let them have their way!
I tried to fight but they all jumped me making it impossible to fight them off if one of them hit me from behind and sideways! Like always I wasn't able to keep them off, I laid there completely beaten almost to death...I really thought it was the end until I hear Himiko crying loudly as I saw one of those fiends grab her by the leg and making her go upside down even swinging her! Somehow, I found the strength to get up and attacked them! My anger grew the more they keep hurting my sister! I managed to take out 2 of them and made sure they won't hurt me by breaking all their legs! So, I used a steel pipe nearby and bashed them reputably. I didn't care if they begged me for forgiveness, they brought me sister into their sick game! Once I crippled the two punks the one holding Himiko hostage finally decided to put her down and bowed to me fearing for his life. My ever-growing anger still fueling my need to punish all of them I just simple swung my steel pipe right at the 3rd punks face while holding Himiko and ran off to a place that I know of. I've decided to go straight to one of my mom's friend's house to see if she'll allow me to spend a few nights.
