Chapter 10
They all turned to five men at the back holding guns, "Under Chairman Nagare Akatsuki, you are all ordered to stand down and cooperate…"
"Sir, the chef and the five girls are missing," said a man as run through the door, "The captain is also missing!"
"Sir…!" said another man as he rushed in, "It seems that a shuttle departed from the Nadesico, three hours ago…"
"What…!" exclaimed the man in charge.
"However there is a tracking device on the shuttle," said the man, "It's arrived at the Amada colony an hour ago…"
"We will go to that colony and retrieve the runners," said the man.
"Yes sir," saluted the men.
"I guess now we know who the traitors are," said Saburota.
"Shut up!" ordered the man.
"Err… sir…?"
"What?" asked the man.
"I don't think that's necessary… the ship seemed to be on auto pilot towards the colony…"
"Even easier then…" said the man.
...
"Hello… we met again," greeted Nagare. "My… my, doesn't this seem to be like déjà vu…?"
"This time I'm going to be taking the master key with me," said Nagare as he took the key out and pocketed it.
"Erina Won," said Inez as she saw a familiar Chinese looking woman walk in.
"It's been a while Fressange…" greeted Erina.
"Sir… there's a parcel that has arrived that is addressed to the Nadesico crew," said a man.
"Who's it from?" asked Nagare as he took the parcel and looked at it, "R.H Tenkamaru…"
"Let's see what this person would send you…" said Nagare as he opened the package and pulled out a Geki Ganger figurine however as soon as he picked it up smoke instantly filled the room.
"Everyone…! Make a run for it!" ordered Jun and the crew dispersed to all exits and fled into the colony.
"Was this a trap?" asked Erina.
"What the…" Nagare looked inside the box to see a note, "Happy early Christmas Nadesico!"
The figurine popped into streamers and confetti that blew every where. At the front of the box had a sticker that said 'Don't open until Christmas Eve…'
"We have no one to blame but ourselves for this," said Nagare.
...
"Mrs. Howmei…?" asked Jun in surprise as he entered a restaurant, "If you're here then does that mean…"
"No… Ryoma told us that we should split up…" said Mrs. Howmei. "I'm sure the Howmei girls are together though…"
...
"Oh… the perfect place to hide out!" cheered Saburota as he walked into a nightclub.
"I don't think we should hide in here," said Hari.
"You still following me kid?" asked Saburota.
...
"Nyah…! Are we far enough?" asked Eiji as they ran through the trees with the regulars.
"There a cottage up ahead!" said Yuushi.
"But what if someone is in there?" asked Syuichiroh.
"Who would live so far out from town?" asked Seiichi.
"I think there's someone already in there," said Bunta, "There's light…"
"Maybe if we ask politely we can stay," suggested Takashi.
"Do you think we can all fit in there?" asked Hiroshi.
"Sa… I guess we just have to see," said Syuusuke and they knocked the door. They heard strange movement going towards the door and the door slowly creaked open.
"Can I help you?" asked a girl dressed in pyjamas, sitting in a wheelchair. She had short black hair and they could see light brown eyes that were reflecting from the light in the cottage.
"Err… did we wake you?" asked Syuichiroh.
"I was about to turn in," said the girl, "Would you like to stay the night?"
"Is that alright?" asked Kunimitsu.
"It's not exactly safe to be out at night," said the girl as she wheeled back and allowed them to enter.
"Are you hungry? I could make you something," asked the girl, her voice was cute however it sounded uncaring in a way.
"Really?" asked Takeshi, Eiji, Bunta, Akaya and Jirou.
"There's instant ramen in the cupboard," said the girl and wheeled herself towards the storage room and came out with a box of instant ramen. She got out a big pot and poured water into the pot and placed it on the stove to boil.
"I hope were not imposing on you," said Seiichi.
"It's fine," said the girl.
"I know this might be improper to ask, but where are your parents?" asked Seiichi.
"I live by myself," said the girl.
"Sorry…"
...
"What's the status?" asked Nagare.
"With the number of escapees… we've found everyone except four," said Erina.
"Have you checked the ship?" asked Nagare, "One person was hiding on the ship last time…"
"We've checked," said Erina. "It's like he disappeared…"
"Mr. Weapons' Master probably playing dress up," said Nagare, "However the aestivalis pilot and back up systems operator and Fressange are also missing… they could be hiding in the same place.
"Ryoma's friends from school seemed to have thought that they can hide in the forest," laughed Erina, "However, it was a nice try…"
"So those junior high tennis players are all together and under surveillance," said Nagare, "They must be very talented…"
...
"Do we really have to work at a nightclub?" asked Hari.
"It's the most not obvious place to look for us," said Saburota, "and also there are so many gorgeous chicks here…"
"Aren't you supposed to be with your charge?" asked Hari.
"I could protect my charge if I saw her," said Saburota, "Right now I haven't seen the person I'm supposed to protect…"
"I guess…" said Hari, "But are we going to be here for the rest of our lives?"
"We'll have to see…" said Saburota.
...
"I wonder how Ryoma is going?" wondered Jun.
"I'm sure he's fine," said Mrs. Howmei. "I doubt that they were even able to find him…"
"But he isn't on the Nadesico," said Jun. "If that parcel never arrived then we might have never escaped…"
"Parcel…?" questioned Mrs. Howmei.
"Yeah… a parcel marked with a 'don't open til x-mas' sign…" said Jun. Then his eyes widened when he remembered the sender, "Tenkamaru… no way…"
...
"Here's your order sir," said a Howmei girl as she served a man his bowl.
"Thank you," said the man.
"I hope Ryoma is alright…" sighed another girl.
"He's captain… I'm sure he's fine," said another.
...
"It's the same old thing," sighed Seiya, "But the difference here is that my wife isn't here…"
"Is my car finished yet?" asked a man as he came in.
"Yeah… Yeah…" muttered Seiya.
...
"Ms. Tenkamaru… allow us to do that," said Kunimitsu.
"I'm fine with the dishes," said Tenkamaru and looked at the large pile. They got a good look of her this time since it was morning and noticed how her pitch black short hair was in pig tails which made her look very young. She seemed independent and well off. As days gone by they found her black hair seemed to have faded in colour and thought that their eyes must have been playing tricks on them.
"Its fine, it's our dishes we'll wash," said Masahora.
"If that's alright," said Tenkamaru, "Then I'll go into town for a while…"
"Would you like someone to go with you?" asked Keigo.
"I'm sure I'm not that weak," said Tenkamaru.
"I'm sure that's not what he meant," reasoned Syuichiroh.
"Were you the one who sent that parcel?" asked Sadaharu.
"It's was marked saying 'do not open until Christmas eve'," said Tenkamaru. "I hope you didn't open it… that would wreck the surprise…"
"Too late…" said Syuusuke.
"How did you know that the Nadesico came?" asked Genchiroh.
"Who said that I knew?" asked Tenkamaru, "I told the guard that 'if' the Nadesico came… please deliver it to them…"
"Thank you…" said Seiichi.
"You're welcome… but I'm not a hundred percent sure for what…"
...
"She's not normal…" said Yuushi.
"I agree," said Renji, "Although she's disabled she seems to be more than she is letting on…"
"Hey look she's even got her own laptop," said Choutarou and flipped it open. A compartment and the screen appeared that said 'password'.
"Leave this to me," grinned Sadaharu as he pulled out a small electronic box and connected it to the laptop.
"What is it, Nyah…?" asked Eiji.
"Password unscrambler," said Sadaharu, "It should be able to uncover the password for the laptop…"
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" asked Syuichiroh. "Isn't this wrong?"
"But she doesn't seem to be a normal girl," said Ryou, "What if she's the enemy…?"
"Access denied…" said the laptop, "Please try again…"
"That's illogical!" said Sadaharu, "This can unscramble any password…"
"Yes… I agree," said Renji, "This girl is definitely not normal…"
"How ever why is she all they way out here?" questioned Hiroshi.
...
Tenkamaru wheeled herself through town looking through shops and supermarket. That was until she bumped into Nagare.
"Excuse me," muttered the girl.
"I'm sorry miss," apologised Nagare, "I should have watched where I was going… however being so short I guess some of the blame is yours as well…"
Tenkamaru rolled her eyes and backed up before evading Nagare, "What ever…"
"That's not very nice, Tenkamaru…" said Erina.
Tenkamaru stopped, and turned, "If you have something to say then say it…"
"She's talking in English… Err… I think you… 24 fugitives… your house," said Erina. "You willing risk your home… protect them…?"
"Please clarify what you mean," requested Tenkamaru with a frown.
"A girl such as yourself should not be putting herself out to help others, especial if they're criminals…" said Nagare.
"May I ask why it is your business who I invite into my home?" asked Tenkamaru.
Nagare came behind her and wheeled her towards an alleyway, "I don't know what you're saying but… let's get straight to the chase…"
Tenkamaru pulled the breaks on her wheelchair, "What do you think your doing? I assure you… if you would like to say something then say it in the open…"
"We know that you know of the Nadesico…" said Erina, "We received your parcel…"
"So… they helped build this colony…" said Tenkamaru, and wheeled her chair back, "Now let me go and allow me to complete my shopping… if you want to put my home under surveillance… then your breaking the privacy act…"
"Jeez… I really should have listened during English class…" growled Erina in frustration.
"What's the rush? We're not done with you…" said Nagare, as he placed an arm around her shoulders.
"I'm not interested in what you have to say," said Tenkamaru.
"Hey…! Let her go!" ordered Jun from behind them.
"My… My… what a surprise," grinned Nagare.
"Why the hell are you abusing a young disabled girl?" shouted Jun.
"For your information, she's hiding the group of junior high schoolers in your crew in her home," said Erina.
"We're just trying to explain to her about the seriousness of the situation," said Nagare.
"And what's your point?" asked Tenkamaru, "It's not like they're planning to take over the world or something… get over it…"
"Have no fear, Geki Ganger is here to save the day!" said a man in a mask and a Geki Ganger suit. Next to him was a short boy that was dressed up as a masked sidekick.
Nagare smirked, "We didn't mean any harm to the girl, and we just wanted to warn her about the trouble she might get into…"
Nagare and Erina walked away and left the masked men, Jun and Tenkamaru alone.
"Are you alright miss?" asked Geki Ganger, "Commander Jun… what are you doing here?"
"Eh…?" Jun looked carefully at the masked men they lifted the mask up before placing them back on. "Saburota… Hari…"
"Are you alright miss?" asked Jun.
"Perfectly fine," said Tenkamaru. "I really should head home now…"
"Wait… you speak Japanese? And is what they said true…?" asked Jun.
"I just wanted to see if they understood English…What part are you talking about?" asked Tenkamaru. "
"The junior high schoolers," said Jun.
"Yes… they arrived a few nights ago," said Tenkamaru.
"Could you pass them a note for me?" asked Jun.
...
"What if she's calling someone that we're here?" asked Bunta. "We should leave…"
"I'm sure a nice girl like here won't be like that," said Syuichiroh.
"I'm home," announced Tenkamaru. "I met someone on the way… he told me pass a message to you…"
"A message…?" asked Kunimitsu.
"Here," said Tenkamaru and handed him a origami folded paper. "I was bored when I went down hill…"
"Thank you…" said Kunimitsu and everyone surrounded him.
Be careful… Nagare Akatsuki already has everyone under surveillance… please be extra careful as you are also putting this girl's life in danger too… As to how I know you are at her house, I found her being bullied by Nagare and Erina… they knew you were at her home. She stood up for you, so please mind your manners… I don't know anything about her; however I do know that you can trust her… Jun Aoi.
"She's good then…" said Yuushi.
They all turned to the girl who was working on her laptop, not knowing that they had touched it. And instantly they felt bad, she then went over to the stove to cook, while singing…
"Catching fishes… catching fishes… on a hook… on a hook," sang Tenkamaru. "Pull them from the water… put them in some batter… yum, yum, good… yum, yum, good…"
"I think we're having fish today," said Seiichi.
