Chapter 40: Risa Part 1

"What the hell?" Bo mumbled while sitting on a park bench. Gou handed her some ice cream, but she rejected it. "Why is everyone that can help us not want to help us?"

"This isn't going to be easy. It's like they won't help us." Gou said eating one of the ice cream cones she got.

"Nobody is." Bo said angrily. "It's getting dark and we don't anywhere to sleep."

"We should have made reservations at the hotel."

"Hell no, it's like a thousands of yen to stay one night. Rather not go broke at this time."

"Maybe we should just go find a motel. It's cheap." Gou suggested.

"I hope so." Bo reluctantly agreed and went to a nearby motel and stayed the night.

The next day they went to go look for Risa. They couldn't go back to the hotel in fear that they'll get kicked out or in some other trouble.

"What is Risa supposed to do? She seemed normal to me." Bo said to Gou as they walked down the street.

"If Hishikawa-sensei knows her, then she must not be who she appears to be." Gou answered.

"Why does she even live at?" Suddenly Gou stopped after Bo's question.

"There are some living quarters next to the hotel. She might live there!" Gou said and took off running. Bo followed the suit and ran behind her to the quarters. They saw a girl with short brown hair walking out of the quarters heading towards the hotel.

"Hey, excuse me!" Gou called out to the young woman with short black hair. "Does a Fugoi Risa live here?"

"Yes she does. Do you know her?" The girl asked.

"Yes please it's important!" said Bo.

"She might be at work right now so I'll let you two in and you can wait inside." the girl smiled. The girl let's them inside and followed the girl's instruction to Risa's quarters. They didn't know how long they waited for her to come back. Suddenly bags were dropped gaining both of their attention.

It was Risa. She quickly pick her bags and escaped them again. They followed her out and missed her.

"Damn!" Bo cursed again kicking a soda can.

"She dropped something…" Gou said picking up bandages off the ground. "We must have hurt her somehow." she shrugged.

"Hey we can use this to locate her!" Bo said happily. "We need a dog."

"A dog?" Gou questioned and Bo nodded with a smirk. They looked around and then caught sight of a stray Jack terrier. Gou takes out some jerky from her bag and offers it to the dog. It runs over and eats it while the girls pet the dog. Bo talks to it in a high voice making it sniff the bandage box.

"Follow the scent boy! Follow the scent!" Bo said over and over again untiI the dog took off. The girls did their special handshake and chased the dog.

They ended up at a mansion with large metal gates. The pet the dog and gave it the rest of the jerk and went up to the gate. They looked around but didn't see Risa.

"Who goes there!?" a man in black came up behind them.

"Sorry to bother you but we are looking for someone." Gou said a bit frightened.

"It's important…" Bo said hesitantly with an awkward smile. The man said nothing but stared at them.

…..

"Ouch, hey no pulling!" Gou shouted at the man who was dragging the girls by the arms to a large courtyard.

"I swear if you tear muscle, I'm going to hurt you!" Bo yelled at the man. Then the man pushed them down to the ground.

"Who are these girls?" another man's voice asked above them. They looked up and saw a short man with glasses and orange hair. He was surrounded by several men in black suits. Two of them look familiar but they weren't sure.

"They said they were looking for someone." said the goon.

"Who?" the short man commanded the answer towards the girls. The girls got up and started to pretend to be tuff.

"We don't have to answer that question!" said Bo.

"We have rights!" said Gou.

"Not just any rights, it's women's rights!" Bo said gaining a judging look from Gou. "What?" asked Bo. Gou rolls her yes and then clears her throat.

"In conclusion we don't have to answer to you." said Gou.

"Do you work for her then?" the man asked.

"...Yes we do." Bo blurted.

"Do you know when she'll be here?" the man asked.

"...Soon." Gou followed Bo. "She'll be here soon."

"I hope so. I'm paying her." he said and then went to sit at a table.

"Sir, she's here!" one of the goons shouted.

"Let her in!" the short man instantly tried to make himself presentable. There was nothing but silence through the courtyard. There was tiny sounds of grass being crushed coming closer and closer. And then there stood Risa in black short-shorts and a long black sleeve shirt. She wore no shoes and her hair was still in a neat ponytail.

"I've seen you before…" the short man whispered getting up.

"Hello, my name is Risa. Do you want to know your future?" Risa smiled nicely.
