Sorry the last chapter was late...
Felix wasn't dead. That wasn't right, because Jane was Korea's tae kwon do champion for five years in a row. She wasn't bad enough to miss him. He rolled over. A sword that looked like it belonged on King Arthur's table hovered above him. It was large, with a double-sided blade, a large crucifix hilt and a pair of initials carved into the blade. The sword pulled back and revealed the face of his saviour; an average looking girl with tan skin and short amber skin that matched her eyes. "Sheesh," she snickered "if you want to play, at least use a house with a good name." Felix looked at her uncomprehendingly, but Jane evidently understood. "I'm not a prostitute!"she raged. "Whatever you say, Humongo-Lips. Wow, you have creepy eyes!" the girl murmured as Jane turned on her, her eyes boring holes into the girl's chest. "I could kill you with the wave of my hand, little girl," Jane murmured "so RUN!" Jane released another blast of phermones. The agile girl leaped backwards onto the wall, performed an aerial flip and landed behind Jane. Grabbing a pair of pizza boxes, she quickly began fanning the toxins out of the alleyway. Jane glared, but every toxin she released just got blown away. Finally, Jane attacked, her hands curling into extended knuckle positions, which allowed her to strike the girl's hand, forcing her to release the sword. The girl, however, remained strangely immune to the attacks, while Jane's hands became bloodier with each strike. "Humungo-Lips. Wish I could say the same about your brain." The girl rolled her eyes. Taking one giant swing, she knocked Jane over. In a flash she was on top of Jane, tying her up.
They walked out of the alley, carrying Ryo on their shoulders and dragging the recovered chest behind them. The girl was surprisingly sturdy for a girl her size. They found the hotel, and dragged Ryo into one of the rooms Kazu had ordered. Kazu sat on the bed, cleaning his chainsaw's blade. From the bathroom came heavy sounds of wretching. Felix suddenly recalled that they hadn't slept for nearly 24 hours. They had to reach Tokyo tomorrow, so they could get the plane by the day after, Monday. The fire happened on Thursday. Then, the bribe, the Princess incident and now this had taken a full two days. Felix sighed. The four kids would have to get used to long hours of exhaustion. Sadly, as a small family, they didn't have the luxury of lots of rest. Gin moaned again and crawled out of the bathroom. Splashing cold water on Ryo's face woke him up. They were lucky Jane had a sadistic side, so she wanted to torture her victims for as long as possible. Killing them right then and there would have been a cinch. "Okay," Felix clapped his hands "it's time for introductions. Kazu and Gin are over there, and that's Ryo on the bed." All three gave small motions of acknowledgement. "Minami Rizza." the girl said cheerfully. "Where do you live?" Kazu asked ,getting up. Felix nodded. "Kazu will take you home." "No need. My dad and mom are dead, so I pretty much live anywhere. Besides, you guys are fun." Minami declared. Felix stared at her. "What? I want to come with you guys. Where are you going, anyways?" She asked, leaping onto a bed cheerfully. Felix looked at Gin. "Should we tell her?" Gin panicked. "Why are you asking me?" he whined. "Because you're the boss!" Felix glared. "Ryo and Minami are both capable and reasonable candidates. Kazu..." "Can you not talk about us like we're not in the room, Old Man?" Minami glared. Gin finally nodded. "We're trying to start a Mafia." Silence fell over the room like a heavy curtain. Gin looked around confusedly. Kazu looked nonchalant, Minami looked unsurprised and Ryo looked like he was lost in thought. "Well?" Gin asked uncertainly. "I'm in," Kazu said "because you are the leader, correct?" Gin nodded uncomfortably. Minami giggled. "It sounds fun! I'm in!" She turned to Ryo. "What about you, Four-Eyes?" He glared at her. "Me too." he muttered.
Yay! A family is starting to take shape. You can still submit if you want.
