XI: Let's Rumble
Unmercifully, Sachiko rammed a man's head hard against the wall, "Tell me! Where is Yamada?" Right at this moment, Ogasawara Sachiko looked more like a wild beast than an upstanding young woman that she was born and raised to be. Her hair looked wild, so do her blue eyes, and her gloved hands only spoke in the language of violence.
Tossing the body with a crushed skull aside, Sachiko had gotten what she wanted as she calmly walked toward the entrance of a tall glass built building that stood so proudly before her. Like a deranged lunatic, Sachiko killed the guards that come at her with no mercy, in simple terms: she ripped them from limb to limb. Shooting out the surveillance cameras, she stalked the place and found the elevator that will took her to the underground laboratory.
So… Her mind started the conversation once she'd inside the elevator and destroyed the camera in there. Still think that you don't love her? "Shut up!" Sachiko snapped at herself. Suit yourself, but remember this, I am you and will always be with you no matter what. And you love Yumi as much as you love your parents if not more, stop denying it and kick some butts. With that, it stopped talking to her, leaving her to clench and unclench her hands until the elevator came to a grinding halt.
Stepping out of the thing, something smashed right into the door and mashed the metals up good. An unseen enemy swung again, Sachiko sensed the air changing around her and rolled out of the way. The result of her quick reflex was shown on the metal wall; something strong had put a big dent into it. Calming her breathing down, Sachiko noticed that part of the wall looked a bit wobbly, "Guess you're not all that invisible after all." She dashed down the hall, hearing the heavy footfall behind her let her know that whoever the idiot was, he fell for it and she will show him what it's like to mess with an Ogasawara.
While running, Sachiko managed to pull out her hidden weapons: a Spyderco folding knife and a G.I.M-9 Bayonet that she kept hidden in the inside pockets of her jacket. She smirked when she saw that there's a dead end ahead, perfect for what she had in mind as she run at full speed. Running up the wall, Sachiko flipped backward while commanding the earpiece to do a heat scan to give her the exact location of her target. Her invisible enemy let out a shrieking cry as her knives lodged themselves into its shoulders, with brute force Sachiko pulled the knives down cutting downward as blood flown freely. A man in black uniform flickered into view as he slumped forward slightly and finally collapsed flat on his face as blood pooled around him.
A glimpse of the body, the exposed neck revealed a small microchip was the thing that gave him invisibility as well as the strength of an elephant. "The irony of having your own product used against you, how sad…" Sachiko said popping the chip off the dead body and grinded the thing with the sole of her shoe. It seemed to her that her parents were taking prisoners by men with these chips implanted on them. Her head snapped up as a familiar scream echoed through the corridors, "Yumi!" Like a beast, Sachiko hastily yanked the knives off of the body before she rammed the wall crushing it like it's made out of twigs.
In front of her eyes, Yumi sitting in a chair strapped down with wires attached to her limbs. Snarling at the sight before her, Sachiko's eyes turned slit whirled around and sent one of her knives flying at the mirror behind her, shattering it completely and pierced the heart of a slim and handsome looking man. Turning back to an unconscious Yumi, Sachiko proceeds on ripping the wires off of her and cut the straps while ignoring the hail of gunfire that was aimed at her. There was no pain from the bullets, the only pain she felt right now was for Yumi. Her blood stained her clothes, but her wounds closed up as quickly as it was opened. Holding Yumi with one arm, Sachiko used her other one to drawn her gun and pointed it over her shoulder and pulled the trigger until it emptied out.
The gunfire stopped as her gun got emptied; Sachiko folded the knife and put it away. She stood up with Yumi in her arms, with a stone face Sachiko walked out of the place promising herself to blow this place to bits once Yumi got better. For now, she will find a safe place for Yumi and get her treated. The man she killed isn't her uncle; the man isn't stupid enough to be here in person.
Shinjuku, Old Japan
Sachiko put a wet cloth on Yumi's forehead, with great care she started to change the girl's bandages of her badly burned arms. It has been two weeks since they stumbled onto this place, a fully functional underground home with a garden of its own as well. It truly is heaven in hell, the Shinjuku above was nothing but a complete barren wasteland with crumbled buildings and nothing more.
Yumi groaned lightly, her eyes slowly fluttered open, mocha eyes scanning the room and come to rested on a sleeping form in a chair by the door. It was beautiful, Sachiko slouching a bit with crossed arms dressing in jeans and a plain white t-shirt. Her body ached as she tried to sit up, Yumi involuntarily let out a low wince and that jolted Sachiko out of her slumber.
"Yumi," Sachiko said as she stride over to the girl's bedside and helped her sit up. "Sachiko-sama, are you… okay?" Yumi asked hoarsely. "I'm okay, I'm always okay if you're there with me," Sachiko said as she held Yumi's hands within hers while a light hue tinted her cheeks. "Where are we?" Yumi asked as a puff of smoke escaped from her head. "We're in a well-kept house in underground Shinjuku of Old Japan," Sachiko replied as she got up to get some water for Yumi. "Thank you, it looks very cozy," Yumi commented as she accepted the glass of water and took a gulp to moisten her dried lips and mouth. "It would be great if we could live here forever," Yumi said before she realized she had spoken what her mind had been thinking. "We can once I save my parents, my uncle took them prisoners for a while now. But we'll do that when you're better," Sachiko smiled gently at Yumi.
Time fly by with Sachiko's care, Yumi's arms slowly healed. "My parents owned a large company in producing microchips that could make you invisible and increase your strength tenfold. They sell to whoever pays well, which is why I do not like the way they do their business. This world is full of maniacs, and what my parents are doing is giving those maniacs more power to make the lives of those less fortunate a living hell." Sachiko said over dinner as they discussed about saving her parents. "That and I'm engaged to a man-whore of a cousin," she murmured that part under her breath so that Yumi couldn't hear her.
Yumi quirked a brow at Sachiko, never had she imagined the elegant woman would use such a term, and not in a way to describe her cousin slash fiancé. "Man-whore?" Yumi mused as Sachiko snapped her head upward while her eyes nearly bulged out staring at Yumi. "I would assume that you know him well enough to be able to tell the kind of man he is," Yumi said giggled at the sight of a flabbergasted Sachiko. "Well, I did lost count of how many boyfriends he had throughout the years," Sachiko replied after regaining her composure and cleared her throat of the lump that seemed to stuck there and refused to go away.
"You're really cute when you're all flustered Sachiko-sama," Yumi said giggling still as she readied for bed. "Hmph," Sachiko false an angry face as she climbed onto her side of the bed. They shared a bed; it's the only bed in the small house and neither one of them really minded. Sachiko had gotten used to have the girl snuggled up to her, and Yumi to having Sachiko's arms wrapped around her protectively when she woke up in the morning.
