Chapter 3
When they arrived at the apartment, Black Star unlocked the door with his key. When the door opened everyone gasped, the apartment was destroyed, walls were smashed in, furniture was broken or torn, glass was spread everywhere, even in places there was blood splatter.
Black star clenched his fists, he was angry but also wanted to cry but knew he had to hold it in, he couldn't be weak. "I'm gonna kill the bustard who did this" he snorted.
The police men left and everyone sat in Black stars living room, well except Black star that was pacing around the room.
"Black Star calm down, let's just think what has been different these last week's" pleaded Maka
Black star stopped pacing and looked at Maka "Yeah your right" and sat on a chair
"She has gotten violent, she punched me" Soul spoke
"She has been avoiding us as much as she can" stated Liz
"This could explain why, she was ashamed of what she was doing, she couldn't face us"
"She has been disappearing" commented Black star
"She said she was doing homework, but I didn't even have homework, so that was when she was doing the jobs" Maka uttered
"Shit" Black Star punched the wall startling everyone "Every time we did talk she always looked like she really wanted to tell me something"
"Looks like the person is forcing her not to say anything"
"He would have to be close to make sure she was doing her jobs, and not tell" stated Kid
Black Stars eyes popped open he realized something, then his eyes narrowed as he turned to his cousin, Moon star.
"You ever since you showed up this stuff has been happening" he yelled at him
Moon star stood "what are you talking about?"he asked innocently
"Where is she?" he yelled
"What are you talking about?"
"Tell me where Tsubaki is what have you done with her bastard?" he pinned the older teen in the corner angrily
Then an evil smirk appeared on the cousins face "Finally" he kicked Black Star away he flew into the far wall "Tsubaki is my spy and play thing" he laughed, just fuming Black Star "that bitch is so disobedient though" the teen dropped his jacket and scarf that no one noticed he wore, to show burses and scratches "after you left this morning I came in and took her after a fight, she's a feisty one, she made me sweat, by the way she wasn't sick she had another mission but I heard people were looking for her and so I had to hid her"
Everyone was now fuming, he then lifted his shirt "this is from a last week" showing the 30 centimetre scar and a large foot like mark "let's just say she didn't like what I was doing to her"
"You forced yourself on her" yelled Maka
"How dare you touch our friend" she snarled being held back by Soul
"We need him alive to know where Tsubaki is" nagged Soul
"How did you get her to do what you wanted? Tsubaki isn't someone who would do this willingly" asked Kid
"This" he held his phone up "This has all your lives on it, she loves you guys more than her school" he smiled while everyone was thinking about what he was saying there was a smash, they looked up. The window was broken and no Moon star.
"That bastard" Black star was about to jump out the window when Patty grabbed him "He's gone" she admitted seriously, Black Star stared out the window sadly.
Once again they sat in the living room, everyone very quiet, until Soul spoke "that's why she punched me and was so scared, she was afraid it was Moon Star going to..."' he didn't even want to finish that sentence, it made him angrier
"How could I be so blind?" Black Star sighted
"It wasn't just you, we all didn't see it" mopped Maka
"Not even a smarty like Maka, missed it" feared Kid
"I should have seen it... I am her partner, it's our job to keep each other save like we promised each other at the beginning and I failed" revealed Black star
Patty stood up, she was angry "Stop your damn moping, get off your asses and let go get our friend back" she stated strongly
Everyone looked at her "We aren't going to get Tsubaki back by stilling around regretting and going crazy, think about how scared Tsubaki is probably, how scared she has been all week, knowing her she was probably sadder thinking about losing our friendship over this"
They all nodded, Black Star and stood "she's right let's get my girl back" he smiled
They all left and then decided to meet up an hour later at Black Stars place they split into two groups each given a job. Liz, Patty, and Kid went to look for whatever they could find about Moon stars ware bouts; in the days he was in death city, or a week prior to coming to death city, thinking they would find the place where he hid Tsubaki. While they did that Soul, Maka, and Black Star went to Stine to get the files of every place Tsubaki stole from and what she stole.
"Okay what do we have?" asked Kid
"This file says" Maka paused as she looked over a file, then read it "The individual was skilled and sneaky, smart and cunning, but also strong and adjure, because of the fact they dodged all traps set and lifted a solid iron gate"
"Tsubaki is strong, she isn't like that on the missions" voiced Patty
"Hmm, she likes to give Black star the glory, even if she doesn't say that she is probably one of the best all around out of our group" Maka mentioned
Black star was in mid thought 'was she that great? Was he holding her back? She keeps getting hotter through this week. So mysterious'
"Black Star?" asked Soul waving his hand in front of his friend who finally snapped out of his thoughts that got dirtier
"Yeah, sorry" he turned to Kid "what you find out"
This kid traveled a lot, he went to many places but we pinned the most likely location to hid someone down to two" Kid stated
"The motel on Stone hill, or an old storage place just on the out skirts of town" read Liz
"The out skirts, I'm am positive she would be their" pondered Black Star
"Are you sure? We can't afford a mess up" reminded Soul
"Yeah, let's go"
They all got prepared and left the apartment. The way to the Storage place was quiet, everyone thinking and praying they were right, and she was alive, hopping the ass was their so they could kick his ass.
Finally they saw the building it was a rundown building that was a mix of metal and stone, and was the size of six parking spots in a rectangle two by three.
As they turned a corner to the side with the door, oddly the door was open. Tsubaki sat on a single chair, arms tied behind her back and each leg tied to the chair legs, with her head down like she was sleeping. As she heard footsteps she looked up, to see her friends running to her.
Her friends saw her, her clothes were ripped and torn and soaked in blood. Her hair was out of her hair tie flowing over her shoulders, on the right side her hair was bloody. There was blood dripping from her mouth, and lots dripping down her face like warm water of a shower. Then one of her eyes were shut and looked like she couldn't open it.
Black star froze his happiness turned into sadness as he saw his love beat up and losing soo much blood, he could almost hear the dripping as it dropped and stained the stone floor.
"Tsubaki!" he smiled slightly as he took a step into the storage door, but as he stepped "NO Black Star, stop" she yelled but it was too late he stepped down triggering a trap sending a arrow at Tsubaki's head but she moved her head at the last second so it only cut off a piece of her bangs. Black star instantly stepped out of the building.
"The whole place is booby trapped" stated Kid
"One wrong move and Tsubaki's dead" pointed out Soul
"What are you doing here?" she yelled
"We are here to save you" yelled Black Star
"Leave now, it's dangerous and I don't deserve it" tears started to run down her face
"No don't think that your my partner, my friend we can't leave you"
"I betrayed everything I love, I betrayed my friends, my school, the use of my assassin skills"
"We know about Moon star, we know you did this for us, let us save you?" pleaded Maka
"NO, I can't be saved, I'm not the one that needs saving" Tsubaki cried
"What is she talking about?" asked Liz
"Kid your fathers in danger, Moon star is after vengeance on your dad, he wants to rebuild the Star clan, he has a team they are ruthless and strong, he needs your help, he has time"
"WE ARN'T LEAVING YOU!" yelled Black Star
"Please Black star they need you"
"NO, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU"
"Soul, Maka please trust me, take him away, save what I made worse, please, I love and believe in you all... thank you for wanting to know a scentless flower being my friend, Now GO " she pleaded to them sadly, but had a slight smile, they could tell in her eyes that, this was what she really wanted
"Let's go, she really wants this" advised Maka
"What no!" Black star protested
Soul motioned Kid over, and they both grabbed an arm and dragged him off.
"Thank you" they heard as they walked off
"We will come back for you" Black star yelled back
Once they were a far away and could barely see the roof of the building, they let go of Black star.
Then there was a massive exploit ion, there was smoke, and dust, metal went flying out of the flames. The six watched the flames, behind Liz, Patty and Maka cried hugging each other, Soul and Kid stood where they let go of Black star, not knowing what to do it was clear Tsubaki didn't survive. Black Star knew he had to star strong but he couldn't tears were at his eyes begging to come out, his knees wobbled wanting to let out; finally he fell to his knees crying.
He remembered the first time he met Tsubaki, the first soul they got, the laughs they had, her smile, her voice, the only person who really got to know him and wanted to stay, her not wanting anything but for him to be himself, the person who had the gentlest soul, the person he loved... was gone.
Even if he wanted to run there to get her, try to save her, but he couldn't she would want him to press forward and fulfill her last with. He clenched his hands and stood his head down; he turned to his friends who were looking at him. He lifted his head he had an angry, determined face.
"Tsubaki's last wish was for us to save Lord Death, we must honour her wishes" Black Star vowed.
