Chapter 11

"Don't act all innocent you bitch!" Tomoe continued to wail on Natsuki. "You took my Shizuru away from me; she only looks at you now!" Natsuki was use to pain, but the continuous beating were getting to her and she finally passed out. "Tsk…pathetic…tie her up and make sure she doesn't escape." Tomoe walked out of the room.

'Shizuru.'

The next Day

Shizuru woke up early that morning to do some research. She had remembered the license plate number on the black SUV from the other day. Shizuru snuck into her father's private office and hacked into his computer with the private investigator's files on it.

'Ara, too easy.' Shizuru smiled to her self as she typed in the information then hit the information key, but an access code was required.

'Well this sucks…access code my ass.' Inner Shizuru held up a sludge hammer, ready to destroy the laptop.

'Ara, don't do that.' Shizuru gave her inner a pointed look.

'Why not…it's being stupid so…' Inner eyed the laptop again.

'It's the only lead we have so far to finding Natsuki.'

'But it's not helping now so I think I should put it out of its misery.' Inner grinned evilly at the device.

'Ara, Inner-san…' Inner gulped at the tone that held hostility within it, but also a threatening undertone.

'Y-yes?' Inner looked into Shizuru's eyes, bad idea.

'You will not do anything to jeopardize me finding my Natsuki or else.' A naginata appeared in Shizuru's hands and her eyes were stone cold, murderous.

'*Gulp*, hehe take it easy there Shizuru.' Inner started to back away from Shizuru very slowly.

'You will not touch this device?' Shizuru started walking towards Inner.

'I-I…b-but I-it is u-useless…' Inner quickly moved her eyes from Shizuru to the laptop then back to Shizuru.

'Ara…then I guess I have no choice…' Shizuru grinned evilly before slicing Inner's jean pockets, spilling all of Inner's Natsuki shots onto the floor.

'Noooo!' Inner tried to grab her pills, but she was held back by an eight headed snake. 'Please…not my babies, not my babies…I need them!'

'Ara…will you leave the laptop alone?' Shizuru held a hose over the pills on the floor.

'Never!' Inner glared, but her eyes widened when Shizuru turned on the hose.

'Nooooooo!' Inner got loose somehow and made a mad dash for the pills, but it was too late. She was on her hands and knees with tears in her eyes. 'You monster…how could…' Shizuru walked up to her Inner and patted her on the back sympathetically.

'Ara you had to stop sometime…those pills weren't good for you.' Inner looked up at Shizuru.

'How will I manage…I'm hooked and I can't stop.' Inner's hands were already shaking from withdrawal.

'Here, try this.' Shizuru brought out a hot cup of oolong tea with honey out of nowhere and handed it to Inner.

'Will it help?' Inner looked up at Shizuru with hopeful eyes.

'Go a head and try it…it's one of my favorites.' Inner took a sip of the tea.

'This is really good.' Shizuru smiled, but frowned when Inner got up and ran to a dark corner, holding the tea protectively whole drinking it.

'Ara, I've created a tea addict…' Shizuru pouted. 'And she wouldn't even share some.'

Shizuru eventually left Inner alone and went back to hacking her father's files.

Shizuru pulled up a file marked classified and opened it. Inside were clippings and news articles of various crime families and organizations.

'Ara, how interesting.' Shizuru clicked on one of the crime family's article and read.

Crime family Makanda has been suspected of ten possible murders of high school students within a 10 mile radius of Fuuka Academy. The victims had a vertical gash across the left side of their face and had numerous bruises and injuries such as a few broken ribs. The victims where reported missing two months after officials received untraceable letters describing the place where the victim could be found. Officials were too late and found the victims had already departed from this life. The victims' conditions were to the point where officials were unable to identify the bodies. The only thing that verified who the victim was an identification card placed on the victims' bodies. One other piece of evidence that seemed a bit bazaar was the green message spray painted on the shirts of the victims. The message read:

I TOLD THEM TO KEEP AWAY FROM WHAT WAS MINE. THEY IGNORED MY WARNING AND THIS WAS THE PRICE THEY PAID.

'Ara, how horrible.' Shizuru held her hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp, but she continued to read.

We have yet to uncover some hard evidence on the Makanda family, but that family is hiding something. It is rumored that this family has close ties with the yakuzas. This family has no only been suspected of murder, but also drug dealing. This family has managed to escape every charge we have place on them…this family is a force to be recon with.

There were pictures of the ten victims as well as the head of the Makanda family, Kyo Makanda. The man had wavy silver hair that was neatly kept, his face emotionless, and hard, steely grey eyes that were guarded and looked as if they had a big secret to hide.

It is said that as of late Kyo Makanda's granddaughter is currently enrolled at Fuuka Academy. We have notified the academy that the girl is not a threat to the student body, but we have warned the school of the girl's family background.

'Ara, maybe this may be easier than I thought.' Shizuru continued to read. The information on the identity of the girl, appearance and name is classified, but the school is on alert especially now that another student had been abducted.

'Or not.' Shizuru huffed and blew a piece of hair that fell into her face. Shizuru quickly scanned over the article and stopped when her eyes landed on the name Natsuki Kuga which was underlined and in blue font. '

Ara, what do we have here?' Shizuru clicked on the name and was sent to another link. 'Well let's see what they have on my Natsuki.' She started to read the article.

Natsuki Kuga was abducted on the 6th of March 2010 from the Fuuka Academy campus at noon. Natsuki Kuga was recently enrolled in Fuuka Academy a few months before this incident. This young woman is a case on her own, she is 18 years of age and had nearly completed high school a year earlier, but there were a few complications of which our investigators do not know.

'Ara…' Shizuru eagerly continued. 'That's why she seems a bit more mature then everyone else.'

Miss Kuga's presence at Fuuka has changed it greatly, the crime rate and shenanigans has decreased immensely. Our investigation group has found out that Natsuki Kuga is a little more than your average teenager. She has taken lessons for kick boxing and is exceptional. Kuga is a mechanic at a local shop in Fuuka called WIRED specializing in motorcycles.

'Now I know where Natsuki learned to fight.' Shizuru started to imagine Natsuki in a jumpsuit with it unzipped and the sleeves tied around her waist showing her toned upper body in only a bra. 'Ara, I should stop and save that for another time fufu.'

It is unknown as to why Natsuki Kuga is at Fuuka Academy, but our investigators have an assumption that it has something to do with headmaster Kruger. Kruger is Kuga's aunt that was thought to be deceased along with the rest of Kuga's entire family.

Shizuru was speechless and her eyes wide. The new information slowly started to sink in and to make sense.

'That why Natsuki is so stand offish…I thought it was because of what happened with that Rei and Kari girl.' Shizuru ran a hand through her golden locks before continuing to read.

At the age of six, Natsuki Kuga's family was murdered in the in the shadows of her family's home. The police and investigators arrived at the scene after a call from a very distressed neighbor saying that she heard gunshots and screaming. What the investigators found was the entire Kuga household sprawled out on the wooden boards of the floor surrounded in their own blood. The investigators searched for survivors, but they had found none until private investigator Yamada hear a sound coming from the bathroom. He followed the sound and opened the bathroom door. He noticed that there a trail of blood smeared on the white porcelain tiles on the bathroom floor. He followed the trail to the bathtub with the curtains drawn. Yamada pulled back the curtains and his eyes landed on the six year old Natsuki Kuga covered in blood while clutching onto a little yellow lab puppy with her eyes shut tightly as the puppy growled and bared it teeth. Investigator Yamada eventually brought Miss. Kuga out of the bathroom and to the others. A few hours later after Miss. Kuga was clean up and put in new clothes we ran a search for all possible relatives to foster young Miss. Kuga, but our reports showed that all existing relatives were murdered a few months prior to this murder and in the exact way. Miss. Kuga was lucky for the fact that her family had a bank account with enough money to last Miss. Kuga for years. We eventually had placed Miss Kuga into a foster care, but a year after we had come across the only living relative of Natsuki Kuga, Reika Kruger. She had lived with Kruger until she was of the age of fourteen then Miss. Kuga had moved out and has been living on her own ever since.

Shizuru leaned back into the chair with wide watery eyes. Never in her life did Shizuru think that anyone could've suffered as much as Natsuki had.

'

Ara, I never would've guessed.' Shizuru was about to search further into the files, but she heard footsteps and voices just outside of the door.

Shizuru quickly shot up from the chair causing her head to spin, but she ignored it and looked for a place to conceal herself. She spotted a closest across the room and slipped into it just as the office door opened.

Mr. Fujino and a man in a black suit entered the office. They both walked over to the small table in the center of the small room and sat down. The man in the black suit pulled out 4 file folders, opened them and spread them out on the table.

"So far we have three possible suspects." The man pointed at one file and slid it across the table to Mr. Fujino. "One of the Suspects is the Makanda Family, they have been a major suspect for the ten murdered students from Fuuka Academy." Mr. Fujino read over the file, his face becoming more and more unreadable as he read.

"Hmmm, so they managed to get off scott free huh?" Mr. Fujino shook his head. "If you have a lot of money and are in a crime organization then you can get away with anything." Mr. Fujino placed the folder on the table.

"That is how they manage to escape all these years." The man in the black suit picked up the other two files and slid them over to Mr. Fujino. "These are the other two suspects. They have both just recently relocated from Windbloom to Fuuka. We have records on them from past years for kidnapping, drug dealing, and possible murder." Mr. Fujino quickly read over the files before looking up.

"So you believe that Natsuki was kidnapped by murder suspects...what has lead you to that conclusion?" The man in the black suit handed Mr. Fujino the file of Natsuki Kuga.

Mr. Fujino's eyes widened as he read. He looked up at the man and the man nodded.

"Natsuki Kuga is a prime target because she is the only living heir of the Kuga Corporation. That corporation has many companies in nearly every country." Mr. Fujino's eyes widened slightly. "Ever since Kruger had accepted to foster Miss. Kuga, Miss. Kuga has learned the trade of the business and has build up the company to what it is now." The man in the suit smiled. "All her life she has dealt with things like this, but the only difference this time is that someone decided to actually care." The man packed up his things after exchanging goodbyes and left. A few moments later Mr. Fujino left the office leaving Shizuru to her thoughts.

'Ara, she has been all alone since she was little?' Shizuru's heart ached for the girl. 'You no longer have to be alone Natsuki, I'll be there.'
