Emiko's P.O.V
Tsuchi got into a street fight. Which wasn't a bad thing. But it ruined his chance of ever getting that job. I know that it hurt him to know that, but it was his fault. Hayato was trying to get him out of his funk over it, but it was no use. I even took him out to eat, hoping that he would at least smile. When I came into school the next day, I heard Hayato talking to Yankumi.
"We wont fight until after graduation." he said and I looked at him shock. Then he saw me, and before I knew what was happening, he had dragged me over.
"She won't either." he said and I glared at him as I stood there with my arms crossed. This would only end badly. When she nodded and left, I kicked Hayato in the shin. When he let go, I turned and walked off. I had to tell Ayumi about this.
I knew that Hayato was listening in again. But this time, me and Ayumi were on the roof. She was listening to me.
"Its fine Emi. Look, he won't bother you. Or at least I hope not. He hasn't even been seen around here at all." Ayumi told me and I nodded. She wouldn't lie to me, and if she ever did, it would end in us having an actual fight.
"I don't like being put into others promises or problems." I said and she chuckled,
"Well you will have to suck it up, cause you will get that a lot here." she said and then turned and walked off. When she reached the door, she yanked it open and Hayato and the others came crashing out. Ayumi smiled,
"At least if your going to try to listen in on conversations, try not to talk too loudly." she said and then stepped over a stunned Take and walked down the stairs. I walked over to them and smiled down at them.
"Your all tangled up boys." I said and the glare I got was enough to make me laugh. I reached down and helped Take up, but then I stepped around him and simply left the others to pick themselves up.
I looked up from my magazine as a group of high school boys came in. they were wearing white . I stood up as the other boys had yet to notice them.
"Can I help you?" I asked and they all looked at me in shock.
"Oh a girl in a boys school. How shocking." said the leader and I smirked and motioned for them to start speaking.
"And she has guts too. He was right, you are cute. But we are here to return the favor to them." he said and I let my smile fall. A man had told them of me.
"Who told you I was cute?" I asked and they simply smiled.
"You'll find out I'm sure. Now come quietly." he said to all of us, and the boys all looked at eachother before nodding. As we made our way out of the cafe, I was suddenly yanked sideways. As I looked back I noticed that I was being led away from the others. This had a bad feeling to it. I was led to a warehouse. It was bare except for Watanabe standing in the center smirking. It clicked in my head. He had told them about me. And now I was in his clutches, and I had agreed to the promise to not fight. I was screwed. Just as I thought this, pain exploded in my head, and I felt myself falling before nothing.
Hayato's P.O.V
Yankumi and Ayumi had shown up and was looking around.
"There was a girl with them. Where is she?" Ayumi asked and we also looked around. She was gone. But I knew that she was led out when we were. Where was she? I turned back to see the leader guy smiling.
"I sent her to have fun with my friend." he said and Ayumi stepped forward. She slammed her fist into his face and then held him up by his hair.
"I will only ask once more. Where is she, and who is she with?" she yelled into his face. He looked scared now. The smile was long gone.
"I sent her to Watanabe. The warehouse that is 2 blocks from here." he said and she dropped him. She growled and looked down at him.
"She dies, and ill have your blood as payment." she spat and he paled even more. She was speaking like a gangster and from what Emiko had told us, she was a gangster. She backed up and looked around, her face falling and we started to see that her mask was falling too. She turned to only face us, so that no one else could see it. She yanked out her phone.
"Shin, I need you, the boys. Watanabe has Emiko." she said and then hung up. She looked down at me.
"Your her boyfriend. You have to come with me. She won't be the same. Her masks will also be gone. " she said and helped me up. We all followed after her.
Shin's P.O.V
I found the place first. While the boys were taking care of Watanabe and the few others, I focused on Emiko. She was handcuffed, and hanging from a hook. She had large cuts on her body, several bruises. You could tell she had been hit with metal pipes, her face and arms were bruised. Blood was dripping out of her mouth, and her face was cut open. Her wrists were cut open by the handcuffs, but were otherwise fine. When I looked up, Watanabe was gone, and so were his friends. The problem with him wasn't ending today.
"I'm tired of being a target." Emiko muttered as I walked out with her in my arms. I chuckled and looked up as I heard a shout. Ayumi came out of nowhere and looked at Emiko. She looked ready to cry.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't think he would target you." she said and Emiko scoffed,
"Why wouldn't he? I'm your family. He knows that." she said and then sighed.
"Its fine Ayumi. I just want to sleep." she said and then closed her eyes. Hayato came up and took her out of my arms.
"shes going home with me tonight." he said and Ayumi nodded, she took out her phone to call her grandfather, but I yanked it out of her hand and looked at her.
"I didn't get here in time." she muttered and I sighed. So that's why she looked scared and sad.
"Its fine. Look you called me, I was closest, and at least we found her at all. We can't dwell on the fact that you were late. She isn't concerned about it, and shes the one he beat up. So we shouldn't be concerned either. Your cousin still loves you." I said and she nodded. I put my arm around her and started walking with her beside me.
Hayato's P.O.V
the next day at school was boring for once. Emiko was sitting next to me. She had her skirt, and was wearing one of my shirts so that it didn't hurt her cuts on her stomach. She was fast asleep on the desk, and her hand was holding my shirt in a vice like grip. Ayumi had been right. Last night she had had a nightmare and then from that moment on, had clung to me. But she seemed to be coming out of it. She could sit away from me now, but still had to have hold of my shirt. Suddenly she jerked awake, and looked around for a few seconds before sighing. She let go of my shirt and stood up. Ayumi looked up at her as she stepped away from the desk and stretched. The result of stretching was to hiss in pain. I smirked as I sat back and she glared at me as she sat back down.
"What?" she asked and I looked away from her and to the front of the classroom. But I noticed that she had once again took hold of my shirt. She looked at the front.
"Ayumi. We need to talk after school. But I'm also not going home tonight. " she said Ayumi smiled as she nodded. I looked over at her,
"Not going home?" I asked and she smiled knowingly at me.
"No. Would you prefer that I did?" she asked and I glared at her.
"Your not going home. Not after what happened yesterday. Im not letting you out of my sight." I spat and she laughed as she sat back.
"Then I'm not going home." she told me. I sat back and smiled. I just hoped that her parents wouldn't kill me.
I sat at the back of the living room. Dad wasn't home and neither was my brother. So I was allowing Shin, Ayumi and Emiko to talk. Rei had yet to show up. When she did, I decided to stay out of the conversation.
"So what are we going to do about Watanabe?" Rei asked as she sat her school bag down. Ayumi looked at Shin,
"Its not what you are going to do. Its what I'm going to do." she said and Rei glared at her, but said nothing.
"This has to end. He is getting cocky and he doesn't care who he targets. So we can't let this go on. " Ayumi said and Emiko nodded,
"We have to deal with Ryo. Watanabe isn't helping the matter. We need to end this, and focus on Ryo. His sister needs him." Emiko said as she looked at Rei, who was nodding, and agreeing with her.
"Finally, something you two agree on." Ayumi said and Rei gave her the finger.
"We are being serious Ayumi. Hana needs him, and hes only hurting her." Emiko said, while glaring at her. Shin put his hand on Emiko's shoulder.
"We will figure it out. But lets focus on Watanabe first. Because he isn't done coming after all of us." he said and she nodded.
"How about we delay it another year? Make the same deal that we did last time?" Ayumi asked looking at Shin. Shin seemed to think,
"It might work, then again, it might not. Hes always been a little unstable, even back in high school." Shin said and Ayumi nodded.
"Well we should still try. Maybe he will agree to it." Rei said and Ayumi nodded.
"I'll send a letter through his second. I know where he stays. But I'm going to need someone to go with me." she said and Rei stood up,
"Ill go with you. But as of right now, I have to go. If Dad finds out I skipped my last class he will flip out." she said and then grabbed her bag and raced out the door.
