Chapter 7
The Aqua (Water) Murder
By Kazuma20
Arc One: Retribution
Seisho Yagami or Ille Umbra walked into the room. He made his way to the sixth pillar. The brand in hand was wet with blood. As he walked blood dripped onto the ground and fallowed him like a trail.
He stopped in front of the pillar and pulled his hand with the brand up. And shoved it in and turned it cock wise thrice till he heard a click.
"Aura is now in place." He said.
Then he declared, "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains"
He turned and walked away.
Hoshi drove to Dr. Kuroi's office building. He walked into the building and headed for the bank of elevators passed a security guard. He rode the elevator to the sixth floor. He got of and walked to the reception desk. He stopped in front of the desk and the woman looked up.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Yes, miss. I'm here to speak to Dr. Kuroi." he replied.
"Okay let me inform him." she said and picked up the phone then pressed a button.
They talked for a few minutes. Then she put the down the phone and looked at Hoshi again.
"He will see you." she said.
"Thank you." replied Hoshi.
He walked past her and too, the double doors of the office. He opened one and walked into the office and took a seat opposite of Dr. Kuroi.
"I take it since you're here another one was killed."
"Yes, it was Seichiro Jigen."
"When did it happen?"
"It was this afternoon, Dr. Kuroi."
"So there's only one left, right?"
"Yes, the last victim Kasumi Ikeda."
"I wish this could all go away and not happen at all. I still need my team to finish the E.S.C.A. Project. But now I have to bring people in from other projects to complete it. The government won't budge at all. They still want it on the estimated date."
"I still can't find the guy. He disappeared before I could get him."
"I have luck that you'll find them." he replied.
Seisho sat in a chair next to the phone. He was drinking Merlot a red whine. He sipped the wine the all of a sudden the phone rung. He picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Yagami. It's Avarice."
"Hello, Avarice. What is it?"
"Kusanagi just called me."
"What did he have to say?"
"He said that Seichiro Jigen was killed."
"That's all?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then bye."
"Bye."
Seisho hung up the phone and took a long sip of the wine. It was downed in one gulp and he put the glass on the table. He then picked up the phone and dialed a number. It rang one time before being answered.
"Hallo?"
"Sir, the sixth seal was put in place."
"So, that means we have one more seal left?"
"That is right, sir."
"Gute, Gute."
The next one is Aqua. I will finish the mission tomorrow, sir."
"All right."
"And, sir. Avarice just called me before I called you."
"What did he have to say?"
"That Kusanagi called to tell him that Seichiro Jigen was killed."
"He's getting too, close to our plan. He probably knows who you are too. He must not live to expose our plan. After the last one is killed make him one of the dearly departed too. Make sure you kill him painfully."
"Yes, sir."
Hoshi parked his motorcycle at his apartment and decided to a restaurant instead of cooking himself dinner. He still had some of Seichiro Jigen's blood on his forehead and had small droplets of red on his collar.
He walked into the Arcade and sat at the counter. Motoki saw Hoshi and walked to him and handed him the menu. Hoshi looked over the menu for a few minutes.
"I would like Beef Stroganoff."
"Okay. I'll get it for you. And what would you like to drink?"
"Tea."
Motoki put a glass of tea in front of Hoshi and went to get his food. He returned ten minutes later with his food.
Hoshi started to eat his food. He grabbed the glass with his right hand and took a sip. And then continued to eat.
Soon he finished eating and was just sitting back drinking his tea. He finished drinking his tea and got up. He paid for his meal and got up then he started to head for the exit.
He stepped onto the sidewalk and started to walk down the street. He stopped by a crosswalk and waited to cross the road.
Makoto was walking on the opposite side of the side walk. She saw Hoshi who walked across the crossroad and going in the direction of his apartment.
She would have gone talked to him if not for the fact that she had to meet the others at the shrine.
She continued to head to the shrine. She got to the entrance and walked up the stairs, when she reached the top she headed to house. She was a couple of minutes ahead of before they started the meeting.
Hoshi walked into his apartment and took off his boots then his jacket. He walked to the coffee table and stopped, he took of his gloves and throw them on the table.
The room had little light on the area. He walked to the stereo and turned it on. He put in a CD in the player and pressed play.
The music started to play over the speakers. What was playing was AC/DC's Highway To Hell.
Hoshi then walked to the cabinet and pulled out a glass. Then moved to the refrigerator to open the door and pull out a cold bottle.
He poured himself a glass and sat down at the table. He listens to the music in the back ground, as he stared out the window.
It was starting to get dark. The sun was setting in the horizon. Hoshi took a sip of the drink and then set it on the table.
Hoshi sat in the chair for a good couple of hours and still looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky.
He opened his window before pouring himself some more from the bottle.
Hoshi was drinking some scotch and sat on the window seal a leaned back. He saw Makoto out of the corner of his eye.
She was looking out her window she turned to him and said, "Hello, Hoshi."
"Hello Makoto." he replied not looking at her.
"The moon beautiful tonight, huh?" She commented.
"Yes, it is," he stated and brought his hand up. "I reminds me of something."
"What's that?" she asked.
"When Russia first sent a man into space on April 12, 1961, they achieved the first manned space flight in history. That man's name was Yuri Gagarin. It is reported that he looked down on the earth and said, 'The Earth was blue, but there was no god'."
"That's poetic in a sense, Hoshi." replied Makoto.
"Yes, it is. I wonder what the earth looks like from space?" he asked no one in particular.
"I don't know."
"We may have pictures, but it would be more breath taking to look upon it with your own eyes." commented Hoshi.
He took of the glass and sighed. He closed his eyes before saying, "The strong say nothing until they see."
"What was that?" asked Makoto.
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Well good night Makoto. I'm going to take a bath and then go to bed." replied Hoshi as he got up.
"Good night." replied Makoto.
Hoshi got up and headed for the bathroom. He opened the bathroom door and entered in then closed the door behind him.
Hoshi again slept on the couch after taking a bath. He woke up and headed for the bedroom and changed. He put on a blue jean pants and a black shirt with the white lines that made the cross. He then headed to the bathroom and used it, washed his face, and combed his hair.
He headed for the kitchen he headed to the cabinet and grabbed a bowl out of it and set it on the table. Then the cereal, and the milk with a glass of orange juice. He grabbed a spoon and sat at the table.
He poured the cereal into the bowl, with some milk. He put the spoon in and started to eat. Hoshi had decided that he would go to school again after about a two-week absent.
Hoshi finishes eating and he put on his gloves then headed for the door. He put on his boots and grabbed his jacket from the top of the coach a headed out the door.
Hoshi went to school and spent the day catching up on what he missed. He rode his motorcycle home and found a note taped to the door.
He tore the note off and started to read it:
Hell Mr. Kusanagi;
This is the last time we communicate like this before I kill again. I will be waiting for you there. I did it I hope you like it. It is Shinjuku Imperial Garden.
Sincerely
Seisho Yagami
Hoshi rushed off down the stairs.
Hoshi rode his motorcycle to Shinjuku Imperial Garden. He got off his bike and ran to the middle of the garden. It was close to night.
And there stood Seisho Yagami. He had short black hair, but his bangs were long and covered his right eye, he wore a black leather strip collar around his neck, a white dress shirt the first three buttons undone. Wore a black blazer with the crescent moon symbol on his back. Green dress pants and black boots.
"You made it, I see."
"Yes I did."
Seisho stood in the fountain, the woman was shirtless in the water. She was crying and was wrapped in heavy chains.
"Help me! Please!" she cried out.
Seisho held up the brand in his right hand and it caught fire. He then brought the brand down and stuck her in the stomach. He then pulled out a knife with his left and stabbed her neck. And thrashed against the iron links as she trashed and started to fall back.
In the waist-deep water fighting her bonds. As she sank more into the water. Hoshi had already ran to her. He grabbed her and tried to pull her up above the water. But couldn't she was anchored down to the fountain.
She was slowly dying anyway because of the searing flesh on her stomach and the neck wound.
'Aqua'
The blood was pouring out of her neck fast and the water was slowly turning blood red.
Hoshi stood up in the waist deep blood red water. He pocketed the note then started to walk to Seisho slowly.
