A/N: My sister pointed out that in first chapter, or more like, prologue, Atobe went to the airport to catch his flight to Kyoto to be with his 'Kyoto princess'. I shrieked when I realize that instead of going back to Kyoto, I wrote 'The Regret' instead. So in chapter twenty, I put that he went back to Kyoto then returned to Tokyo to talk to his dad. It doesn't mean that after the team went back from Kyoto, Atobe went straight to the lawyer and to Hotaru, he would be real tired because of the long trip, so it was more like a week or something.
Warning: This chapter is full of violence. I will be more discreet and try not to describe the situations in a grotesque way. This may turn the rating to M.
To sleepypuppy (Guest) -san, thank you so much. I will try to update more. However, there will be test on upcoming months and I think that I would limit myself to one or two chapters a week. Let's see.
To Echizen Dyoma -san, what sensei? Lol. Are you talking about Hotaru-chan? Yeah, that's what I planned before, but then, I don't know. Maybe in the next arc after this. Oh, and I call this arc 'The violent arc', and you know why. :))
To kirihara (Guest) -san, thank you so much for reviewing. Yeah, I try to. Am I that bad for killing her grandpa, or what?
Disclaimer: Prince of Tennis and its characters are not mine.
Hotaru became aware of her surroundings as she woke from her slumber. What happened? Then she remembered her grandfather. Oji-san!
She felt drowsy and weak. He tied her hands together in the bedpost, a kerchief was on her mouth and a blindfold covered her eyes.
"I know you're awake," a deep timbre sound of voice said. The he laughed evilly and she shuddered. "If you are thinking what's happening, then let me tell you. I killed your old grandpa one and a half hour ago. Hehe."
She groaned. She wants to curse him but she could not do that with the kerchief in her mouth.
"Ah-ah," he approached her. "You want to speak? I would like to hear your voice. It will certainly give me warmth." He jerked off the bandana and then slap her right cheek. She tasted blood as the side of her lips began to get swollen.
"Gwahh!" she shouted. "What are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? Why did I do to you?"
"Bitch," he said. "I will slowly and painfully kill you. Now," he drew a chair next to her, "it wouldn't be fun if your dear Kei-kun wouldn't be here, ne? He needs to watch me doing you."
"I hate you! I hate you!" she bit back her sobs. She wouldn't show any single tear to this bastard.
"Hate me all you want, Kinomichi Hotaru," he leered at her. "but it wouldn't stop me from raping you."
Then he turned to his men, "Observe her carefully, don't take away your eyes away from her. I need to call the boss."
There's still a boss? Hotaru's mind screamed. He's going to rape me. He's going to rape me. He' going to rape me.She chanted on her head, fear slowly gripped her as her heart beat frantically because of nervousness. Then she heard him come back.
"Now let's call your Keigo-kun. I'm sure he's been ripping his head off looking for you," he mocked. "ooh, he's picking up. Hello... I don't want anything, but I have someone you were looking for..hehe, if you want.. if you want to see her, then you need to bring one million yen in exchange of her... oh, you want to talk to her? Sure..."
He put the phone on her ears, "Kei-kun, I'm okay. Don't do what he said, he's not telling th-"
"Ooops, oops, stop right there," he retreated, "There you heard her, now come. This is the address." And he told him where.
"I want him to see your naked body first when he enter the room," he neared her before holding up her chin between his thumb and index finger. He crushed his nasty mouth on her and she tried to shake him off by avoiding it. "Dammit! Opened up."
When she refused to face him even though her jaw hurts because he pressed his fingers so hard in it, he yanked her shirt apart, tearing off a few buttons in the process. "Oooh, what a milky white skin." He reached down and feel her collar-bone. She shivered as chill run down her spine.
"N-no," she whispered. Then in a louder voice, "NO!"
"Yes," he recited. "yes, yes, yes." He then touch her exposed abdomen and she wriggled to get out of his hold. "Not so fast..." he gripped her shoulders to steady her. But before he can continue, one of his men called out.
"Boss, your pet came!"
"Okay, I'll be there," and he left Hotaru half-naked.
Atobe cursed himself. He went to the Kinomichi mansion and learned that Hotaru is not present.
"Don't you know where she went?" he asked the maids again. They were terrified by his heightened emotions and want to be out of his way.
"Maybe I know," a young boy's voice said.
"Young master," they gasped as the younger Kinomichi descended from the stairs. Atobe turned to see a boy around eight or nine years old.
"Where is she?" he repeated. He doesn't care who is this, he needs to know where she is.
"Oji-san," the boy answered. "She's with our grandfather. My name is Kinomichi Ryo, her younger brother."
Atobe nod an acknowledge, "Atobe Keigo, her..."
"I know you," he glared. "How dare you broke my older sister's heart? Now, why are you looking for her?"
"I remembered. Please tell me where your grandfather live."
Before Ryo could answer, Kinomichi Takuya desperately run towards them, panic-stricken, "Ryo," he said to his youngest, then turns toward Atobe, "Keigo-san, Onyx called, your grandfather's dead. They got your sister."
"What!?" both boys shouted.
"Dad, oji-san's dead? How did that happen?"
"I don't have time to discuss this. We called on the police and Atobe-san was already informed," they run hurriedly towards the car. "Atobe and I decided to meet on father's house. Come on."
They arrived in the crime scene and as they walk to the direction of the house, the police blocked them as they hauled out Takuya's father's body.
"Oji-san!" Ryo cried out.
"Where's Ho-chan? Where is she? Dammit! Where is she?" Atobe shouted.
"Calm down, son," his father appeared beside him.
"Calm down?" he turned to his dad. "Dad, i'm late. She's gone."
"No, she's not. We will find her," he embrace his crying son.
When both boys calmed down. Takuya, Daisuke, Red, and Onyx filled them out.
"So someone want us to break off the engagement and want to kill Hotaru?" he asked quietly.
"Nee-chan's going to die too?" tears welled up again in his eyes.
"No," Keigo said. "I will not going to let that happen."
Red and Onyx handled the law inforcers and Takuya handled the media. Daisuke is with Ryo and Keigo.
An hour passed without knowing what to do, and then they got a phone call.
"This is Atobe, who are you and what do you want?... Where did you bring her?... What do you want?... I need to know that you were telling the truth, put her on the phone..."
"Ho-chan... you, please wait for me... wait... wait! Put her back!" They heard a beep indicating the line was cut off. "Shit!"
After a frozen silence, "I'm going."
"Wait, son," Daisuke stopped him. "You need reinforcement."
"I need the damn money dad, a million yen. Not a reinforcement."
"He did not say anything about not having someone with you," he pointed out.
"We are coming with you," Onyx said.
"Yes," Red second.
"Okay, let's go," he ride his car with the two in tow and hit 0-90 in a matter of seconds. Red gripped the dashboard and the car's door, while Onyx sat stiffly on the back and his shoes planted firmly on the back of Red's seat.
"Atobe-san," Onyx called out, "You need to slow down if you don't want the cops to go after us."
Atobe pushed the breaks and Red and Onyx exclaimed, "Ooof."
He went back to normal sixty, but Red still feel his heart beating erratically. "That was awesome!"
And Atobe momentarily grinned.
They arrived in the outskirts of the city. The neighborhood is dark in every way. Garbage smells and black water stilled in the dirty canals. The building vandalized and windows were broken. Slums. The slums of the city of Tokyo. Perfect for crimes such as kidnapping and killing and... raping.
They looked for the apartment Bando mentioned. When they advance towards it, they saw two men with guns in their hands. They pointed their guns in Atobe's direction and they automatically put their hands in the air.
"Who are you and what do you think you're doing here?"
"I'm here to see Bando," he said. The they heard a scream of 'No!' "Hotaru!" he exclaimed and try to run inside but Red and Onyx hindered him from trying to do so.
"Atobe-san, you couldn't just go in there," Onyx said.
The man called out inside and a large man came into view. He smirked as he saw Atobe but frowned when he saw that there's two more. "You," he pointed at the younger man, "Come inside. The two, watch them."
"Yes, boss," they answered.
When Atobe entered the house, he didn't see Hotaru, then he felt the nose of a gun in his back. "Go on. Walk."
He complied and they crossed the threshold of another room, there Hotaru was tied in the bedpost and her shirts open. He turned to face the man behind him but he feel the press of the gun deeper.
He met Hotaru's eyes as Bando's man tied his arms behind him and made him sit in a chair overlooking the bed.
"And you will see how I defile and slowly kill your beloved before I kill you," he barked out a disgusting laugh.
"You're wrong!" Hotaru yelled hoarsely. "He didn't love me. He said he never did."
"Aww, how pitiful," another voice- a female- said. And Atobe jerked as he recognized her voice, then his eyes went wide as Hamasaki Ruriko, in a tight, leather spandex, approached them. Her eyes are dangerously insane and her smile is evilly painted with red. "Hi, lover..."
"Ruriko-san," he said, "W-what?"
She laughed and Bando laughed with her. "Put on a good show, Bando-san. Let's see how slutty that girl is."
"S-stop this, Ruriko," he said, his voice hard. "What kind of joke is this?"
"Do you think this is a joke?" her smile gone. "This is my plan, Atobe. This is what I like to see. You are just a pawn to punish my dear, little sister."
Hotaru's eyes went wide as well as Atobe. "You are not my sister!"
"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you, whore," she yanked Hotaru's hair. Hotaru cried out in pain.
"Stop that!" Atobe shouted, he doesn't care about any gun; he desperately need to help Hotaru.
"Wow," she mocked. "Didn't you left this bitch to be with me, huh, Atobe? Well, Hotaru-bitch, my friend told me how you were slutty and self-righteous in school. Do you want to see me suck on you ex's d**k? Or do you want to watch Bando here to fill her with his fluid?" she turned to the said man who snigger violently, hands rubbing gradually. A perverted look permanently painted on his face as he ogled Hotaru.
He approached her and as Hotaru and Keigo shouted in mixed emotion, Ruriko laughed evilly as she walked out of the room, the sound of her laughter echoed through the hallways. She's going to get one of those men Atobe brought with him to f**k her.
She stopped as a cold tip of a knife pricked on her skin, little drop of blood oozing from her broken skin. Red, a private investigator, black belt in different kinds of martial arts, rotate her arms and put handcuffs on her hands.
"Game over, Hamasaki-san," he whispered in her ears. Ruriko smiled sadly. I wished for this day to come. I wished that one day, someone will going to tell me that everything's done. Finished. Ended. Now I can go to prison and indemnify I put them through.
Several policemen entered the house while they hauled out Bando's men and Ruriko. Atobe relaxed as he saw them arrests Bando.
"Take this tie off," he said to one of them. He went directly to Hotaru and drape his shirt on her. He watched as she silently put it on her. She couldn't put the buttons together because her hands are shaking, so Atobe did the task instead.
He then pulled her into his embrace and they silently cried together, relief washed over them. He kissed her on her forehead, in the tip of her nose, and then her lips. Long, hard kiss.
They stayed like that when the room went silent as the policemen gave them privacy.
A/N: Good? Bad? Please read and review. Sorry for any mistakes. I tried so hard to make this perfect. I will reread this tomorrow. Thank you very much.
Yehey! Violent Arc: Mission Accomplished.
Is it too dark? Too dirty? Too dramatic? Too OOC? Or is it alright? Did I typed it right? What mistakes did I make?
POLL:
What do you want for the next arc?
Takuya's curiosity about Hamasaki's birth. What really happened in the past, and Kinomichi and Hamasaki are sisters?
More Ryo and Atobe brotherhood. More OC moments (Midnight Tennis, Hotaru's friends, Minchi and her group, Ryo's friend Ken, etc.)
She couldn't take all of it and went to America leaving Atobe behind, then go back after ten years. Then a new arc begin?
Any suggestions?
