Yoshiki didn't really know how he had managed to recover. Part of him wished he hadn't... but another part still wanted to protect Ayumi. That was probably the part that kept him kicking. He didn't really know how long it had been since then, and he had no idea what they were doing to Ayumi... All sorts of terrifying situations were playing in his head, but he could no longer help... Not in his shape. It still hurt to move... and even if he could, they had restrained him, now that he was revealed to being a traitor. Eventually though... among the days that blended together as he sat in a dank, dark room, Gato and some others came in. Enough to hold him back, he guessed... What were they doing? Koga didn't honestly think he was under his thumb now, did he? Well, he wasn't going to get told anything, as the guys roughly pulled him up by his arms, forcing him to walk. He didn't know the room he was placed in... He had become completely disoriented at this point, and all the rooms looked the same in this place. And he didn't have much time to take in any sort of surrounding before he was shoved, hitting the floor painfully. Agh... his whole body throbbed with agony, but he wouldn't let Koga have any sort of satisfaction that he was in pain, so he had to suck it up. Even though his whole body just wanted to lay there, he forced himself up, coughing lightly with one eye squinted shut. What was he here for? He couldn't even begin to guess, but it was most likely more punishment.
Ayumi wished she would just die. The days without Shiba dragged on for eternities, her mind a frazzled worried mess as the image of his bloody body kept forcing itself to the front of her mind. And without his protection... well, it didn't take long for other guys to come around. His 'boss' was the first one, pushing her roughly to the ground and invading her body. Then there were two others. They all blended into the same awful person in her mind, holding her down as she screamed and cried. The pain was excruciating, the shame burning holes in her sanity. She was disgusted by them, her skin felt like it was constantly crawling. Their cum leaked down her thigh, spots of pink mixed into the creamy white as they made her bleed. She tried to wipe it away with her sleeve, but it didn't get rid of the sickening feeling that made her feel like she was going to puke. The worst was when one of them forced their dick into her mouth. Their cum tasted bitter like salt water, and didn't taste any better when it came up. She was in a constant state of depression as her sobs would only halt for seconds before the situation caught up with her again. Shiba was probably dead and she was doomed to live this life.
When a different man entered her cell one night, she felt herself resign in disgust. The 'boss' had been correct that first day when he said just laying down and taking it made the entire thing easier... on her body, at least. The man crouched down and grabbed her arms behind her back, unchaining her from the wall to move her. Her eyes cast to the ground as she realized she had probably been sold off or something. They walked her into a new room. She was struck powerfully as the door opened and she saw Shiba. He still looked awful, but he was alive. "Shiba!" she choked out thankfully. The guy behind her rolled his eyes as he attached her across the room, far away from him.
"The boss will be around in a few. Don't get too comfortable," the man said blankly as he stepped outside the steel door, waiting for Koga to come around. It would only be a couple minutes until he brought his 'surprise' for Yoshiki.
Yoshiki wasn't waiting long before Ayumi was dragged in. His heart sunk to the bottom of his stomach when he saw her, able to tell by her eyes they had done what he feared. He felt sick, and unable to respond to her. He... was a little shocked she still called for him like that... After all, he had let her down, and terrible things had been done to her... "I'm sorry...," was all he could manage to say in response, looking away with overwhelming shame, the fact that he had failed much too heavy to take... But... why was she here too? What would they do with gathering them both? Fear welled up in his heart, but not for himself. For Ayumi. His mind could only think of what they'd do to Ayumi to get him to submit. His mind let slip his greatest fear, something he had nightmares about... He didn't even want to assume that would happen... He couldn't... His mind wouldn't let him.
Ayumi looked aside as he apologized, her own heart sinking. She didn't like thinking about what they've done. How violated she felt and how much she wanted to scrub her skin raw until she could erase any trace they had ever touched her. "I don't blame you," she said steadily. They both knew that things wouldn't turn out happily... They simply couldn't. Not in the situation they were in. Although... why did they put her in the same room as him? They wanted them separated, right? What the hell was the 'boss' planning now? She felt completely sick, dread filling her system. Nothing good was going to come from this.
Yoshiki remained silent, feeling like he'd like it more if she did. The fact that she was such a saint, and never seemed to place the blame on him, only made him feel worse that she was here. That these things had been done to her. If not the guilt for not being able to protect her, she should hate him for the false hope he had given her. Spewing nonsense that he'd protect her from anyone that harassed her, and that if she was sold, he even had the power to try and save her. He was no fictional superhero. He shouldn't have assumed he could manage such feats... and feed hope to someone who was only going to be dragged back down, hitting reality even harder than she would have. Now they were both damned, to whatever Koga did to them. He could only hope that most of the punishment would be placed on him, not anyone else. He would rather be killed... than anyone else be hurt in his stead. But Koga knew that, and he wasn't past exploiting it. He trembled slightly in fear at what Koga would pull, his stomach doing sickening flips and his head going hazy with speedy and disorganized thoughts of anxiety and worry.
Koga grunted at the weight on his shoulders. Not that she weighed much, but still, carrying her from his room had been a pain. He could have gotten someone else to do it, but he felt almost excited to finally see Yoshiki break. He wanted to deliver the final blow to any rebellious thoughts he might have towards him. Of course... he had planned on keeping her as a pet... but his anger got the best of him in the middle of it. The fact her eyes were the same ugly gray disgusted him. He looked at the guy he assigned to the door, moving his head in a way that meant he should open it, which he did. "Well, Shiba," Koga said, entering the room with a crazy smile on his face. "I've thought long and hard about the perfect way to teach you a lesson and I think I've found it." He dropped the corpse of Kishinuma Miki between the two. The girl's head laid in the direction of Yoshiki, her eyes empty with death.
Ayumi froze as Koga came in, fear overwhelming her senses. Then a body was dropped on the ground and her stomach dropped as she realized it was a corpse. Her breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening, and the color draining completely from her face. She couldn't even begin to process or guess why the hell he would throw a person's dead body so cruelly on the ground in front of them.
Yoshiki was prepared to give Koga the death stare as he heard his voice, but was caught completely off guard by the body that was slung to the floor. His eyes widened at the ones similar to his staring back, but they were completely drained of life. His mind blanked and his voice caught in his throat, his body beginning to tremble, lightly at first. Miki... No, no! Sh-she... wasn't involved... This couldn't be real... She couldn't be dead... because of him. A more powerful wave of nausea hit him as his brain caught up with reality, a small choking noise coming from his throat. "Mi... ki...?" he muttered, still slightly in a stupor, willing this to be just another nightmare. Another strong pulse of sickness made him double over and dry heave, since he had been given no food. The pain from his muscle tensing told him this was no dream. Because of his choices... Miki had been killed... Even though he desperately wanted to look away, his eyes were glued to his younger sibling's, tears of a mixture of devastation and fury making there way to the surface. "No... Miki... MIIKIII!" he screamed, as if that would bring her back from death. A glare of hatred found it's way to Koga, absolute ire and lament running from his eyes. Two of Koga's men grabbed him before he could lunge at him, which left him to thrash against their grasps on him. "YOU BASTARD! SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! YOU DAMNED, FUCKING ASSHOLE!" he continued to rave as he fought against those that held him back, despite his body's painful objections to movement.
Koga was beaming as Yoshiki spilled tears, his yells having no effect on him. "This is your own fault. I warned you that if you didn't behave as I deem appropriate, your little sister would pay the price. You may as well have killed her with your own hands," Koga dismissed with a scoff. His eyes lit up as he recalled her final moments. "She was quite a screamer... heheh... screamed until her last moment," Koga taunted, taking the utmost pleasure in Yoshiki's outburst. Yoshiki was really to blame... he had been thoroughly warned of who would receive punishment if he strayed.
Ayumi froze, confusion and nausea taking hold of her. She didn't understand Yoshiki's reaction until Koga spoke, and her blood ran cold. 'Shiba's... sister...?' she asked herself with wide eyes. Her heart lurched painfully as she felt even more helpless. She couldn't do or say anything to help him. She just sat pitifully, staring in horror at the corpse. At Shiba's sister.
Yoshiki only ceased his rampant at the comment from Koga that was thought in his own head. Even though Koga murdered her... it was his fault. He had chosen to come to this corner of hell to attempt to survive. Miki had done nothing wrong... but have a bastard of a brother... This guilt on his shoulders was much too large of a weight. He slumped back, just staring at Miki while tears kept escaping his eyes. He didn't feel like he was present anymore... His expression and eyes were blank, his body still trembling. I'm sorry Miki... I'm so sorry... So... so sorry...
Koga laughed as Yoshiki fell back silently. If he knew this would have broken him so well, he would have done it ages ago. Maybe he'll be able to still make use of Yoshiki after all. He let him stare at his sister's corpse a little longer before he grabbed it roughly by her clothing, tossing her to one of his men. "Take care of the body," he directed flatly. He had no use for a dead body and he was sure Yoshiki would remember it forever. The guy nodded, taking the body away. What they'd do to dispose of it Koga really had no clue, nor did he care.
Yoshiki said nothing further, not moving, even when Miki's body was tossed into the hands of another guy to dispose of her. It felt like his mind had went completely blank. He was lost... What should he do now?... He only stayed here because of Miki... He only followed the rules because of Miki... But then again, he was in no better a situation than he had been years ago. Protecting Ayumi really had cost him everything... But that wasn't something he regretted. He regretted not being able to save her, and he regretted the choice to come to Koga in the first place... But now that Miki was gone... what direction would he go in?
Yoshiki was almost like a limp doll as Gato pulled him up by one arm, glancing to Koga. "What do you want me to do with him?" he asked.
Koga looked over Yoshiki, considering his fate. He looked shattered, which meant he wasn't a threat. He wasn't even trying to get at him to hurt him. Hell, he didn't even try to argue that his sister's death wasn't his fault. The weight of her death had finally broken him, it seemed. Koga wasn't even worried about him anymore, but that wouldn't mean he could walk away from being able to enjoy his labor. After all this time with this bastard, he needed to soak in his misery. "Leave him," Koga said flatly, not embellishing on his reason. "But you can take her to her cell. She'll want to get some rest before we ship her out," Koga said with a dark look at Ayumi.
Ayumi stared up at him in disgust, though the moment her eyes caught the boss', she quickly looked back down at the ground. She had learned quickly to never look at the boss the wrong way. Her stomach was twisting violently as she felt her future sealed at that moment. She would never see her family again. She would never be anything but a body...
"If you say so," Gato said with a small grunt, waiting for the other guy who had a hold of Yoshiki to let go before dropping him to the ground. He did look pretty dead, and Koga was good at telling how broken someone was. Heh, it was nice to finally see Kishinuma look wrecked.
Yoshiki sat, eyes to the ground, still blank as his mind tried to gather any sort of coherent thought. Though, shockingly he caught Koga's words, that Ayumi was being shipped out. He... had ruined her chances of going back home... He had ruined her life too... No... No, he had made a promise... His numb body caught back it's fire. Ayumi... was the only person important to him left... and he had made a promise that, if she got sold, he'd help her out. Now that Koga had killed Miki... his leverage with threats was gone, and Yoshiki was no longer afraid. He couldn't lose the only person left he loved. Even though his chest burned with resolve, he didn't move, intent on making Koga think he was still torn beyond repair. Tonight... He'd get her out tonight, and take down this sick group.
The moment Ayumi was placed back in her own cell, sobs erupted from her chest. Burning sobs from her very center kept rolling out as she realized it was all over. Any hope of continuing her own life was extinguished as she fully realized there was no getting out of this. No escape, no way to even kill herself. She clutched her head tightly, trying to keep her mind together as everything around her felt like it was falling apart. And Shiba- oh Shiba- he lost his little sister. It wasn't right... for that bastard to flaunt her dead body around like some trophy. Shiba had been so broken... her heart dropped as more sobs escaped her chest. It wasn't fair. That bastard, the 'boss', deserved all this heartache and more thrust upon him. The fact that he was getting away with all of this... the fact that he took pleasure in a young girl's death and reaped the benefit of selling her body was so wrong. She always knew the world was a dark place, but she didn't realize how pitch black it got. She buried her head between her chest and knees, defeat weighing heavily on her mind.
Yoshiki had to pull through and take special care, or else all hope would be flushed down the drain. This was his only chance to get Ayumi out, and screw over Koga's plans and feeling of control. He couldn't let the darkness suck him in, because he couldn't let the only one left that he cared about be damned. As he sneaked about the place, all those who were supposed to be on guard were asleep as usual, a bright fire of anger and determination burned inside of him. He eventually made it back to the cells, pulling out a set of keys he had stolen from Ito. He opened the door as quietly as possible, pausing a brief second at seeing Ayumi's huddled form in the darkness. She was probably terrified, and broken, just like Koga wanted... But he would fix this. He moved closer, sinking down to her level and pulling her into a one-arm embrace. "It's okay... A promise is a promise," he assured her quietly, while unlocking the cuff on her ankle with his other hand.
Ayumi jerked in surprise as suddenly someone touched her, fear shooting through her system first. She was quick to relax when she saw it was Shiba, her tears of fear switching to those of relief. "Shiba..." she said breathlessly, slinging her arms around him tightly. It took her a moment to catch up with what he was doing, and she felt herself able to breath again. She'd take any chance, any sliver of hope that she would get out of this. She stopped in her self-absorbed thoughts for a moment when she realized what he was doing... right after having his sister's dead body thrown in front of him. There was nothing that could be said to ease his pain, but she still found herself mentally grasping for something to say.
Yoshiki wrapped his other arm around her after she was loose, moving her closer to him. They were halfway there... But he couldn't let himself get carried away. There was no safety, even if they were in the home stretch. "Kishinuma...," he muttered to her, not moving her away. "Kishinuma Yoshiki is my real name," he added, putting in the rest of his plan. Odds were, he couldn't escape with her, so he couldn't turn himself in. So, that left Ayumi...
Ayumi's brow furrowed in confusion with his quiet statement. Then he clarified it and her eyes widened. She pulled back to look him in the eyes, her expression uncertain to why he was actually giving her this information now. Not that she would purposefully go forward and turn him in, but it was a sudden shift. "W-why are you... telling me this now?" she questioned nervously, unsure if it was just a gesture or if there was an underlying reason.
Yoshiki looked her in the eyes after she pulled away, his heart sinking slightly at the question. She wasn't going to like this idea in the slightest... But the fact was, he couldn't escape with her, and slip under receiving punishment himself. "That's because... after I get you out of here, you're going to the police and turning in my name to them for kidnapping, sexual assault..., and murder," he answered, his look unchanging from determination.
Ayumi's heart dropped at his explanation, her mind and heart resisting the idea immediately. "N-no!" she said with hysteria on the edge of her voice. Even if the kidnapping charges would be undeniably valid, she didn't want him to go to jail. She didn't want him to rot away in the cell for the rest of his life. "I won't! It... it was consensual between us... And what do you mean murder?" her voice became higher pitched as she approached the end of her question. He didn't have blood on his hands... he didn't kill Koga, did he? He wasn't planning on killing anyone, right?
Yoshiki sighed at her denial, brushing a hand through her hair. "You have to. It's the only sure-fire way to take down this whole group and save some of the other girls still kept here," he told her firmly, not allowing 'no' to be an answer. He looked down slightly at her question, knowing she would reject that ideal too. But there was an undeniable fact that if he hadn't joined these people in the first place, Miki wouldn't be dead. "That's... what I want you to tell them. Don't pull me away from the group. I deserve just as much blame. If I don't... my guilt won't be settled," he tried to explain, uncertain if he was being clear on what he meant, "That includes... Miki... I know I didn't really help, but... it's undeniable that she'd still be alive if I hadn't made a poor decision, or if she didn't have me as a brother."
Ayumi bit down on her lower lip lightly to keep it from quivering. Her chest had such a pressure in it as she bit down tears. It would feel almost selfish to cry about this, when he was dealing with the hardships of it. She couldn't deny it when it was put like that. To take down this group... to save the girls here and prevent others from falling into that fate... She couldn't turned her back on doing the right thing. But... she didn't want Yoshiki to go to jail... She frowned as he explained why she should turn him in for murder too, the idea not making sense in her head. "You didn't kill anyone, though," Ayumi said stubbornly. Kidnapping was the only thing she was willing to accuse him of... and with all the girls he had kidnapped... ugh, her heart literally ached when she realized his future may just be jail. "He did..." she mumbled bitterly, her hatred for Yoshiki's boss running deep. She wouldn't let him be grouped with the rest, because he wasn't like the rest.
Yoshiki knew Ayumi wouldn't understand... but he didn't need her to. He just needed her to do this favor. He grabbed her hand in his, having a desperate look in his eyes. "Ayumi, listen... Let me be selfish, and do me this favor," he said, his tone turning into more of a plea. His conscience needed him to face punishment for all of this, including Miki's death. This is why... he hated getting attached to Ayumi in the first place, and vice versa. He was forcing them apart... But, it was all in all for the best. To break away from him, would eventually lead to forgetting, and that's what she needed to do.
Ayumi stared at him, the look in his eyes made her stomach churn. She couldn't deny him this after everything he had done for her. His little sister would still be alive if he hadn't bothered with her. She couldn't do anything else for him but this request, even though she wished there was some other way. Ayumi was shaking lightly, tears once again beginning to slip out as she couldn't stop them from overflowing. It felt like... this was goodbye... and she really didn't want that to be true. She didn't want any of this. Dammit, why couldn't they have met at Kisaragi!? "O-okay," she said quickly, a small sob breaking into her agreement. If she could have a hand in the destruction of this awful place with their evil actions, she would have to act. She just wanted so badly for the destruction to not drag Yoshiki down too.
Yoshiki gave a soft nod to her, but acknowledged her tears. This whole thing was dragging his heart down, but... it was for the best. There was no doubt about that. They really shouldn't stick together. Under situations like this... They weren't meant to be."Thank you...," he said quietly, bringing her back against him tightly, "And... I'm sorry..." He didn't mean for these affections to grow... They only made it harder on Ayumi. But... it couldn't be helped now... and it actually had helped her cope with all that was happening. Though now, it was time to part. He moved away slightly before leaning forward to kiss her for the last time. He held it there for a moment before pulling away, wiping a tear from her face. "After this, we can't talk, so... this is goodbye... but don't cry, okay? Heh, really... we shouldn't have met here in the first place," he mentioned with a solemn smile, looking away to the side.
Ayumi let out a trembling breath as Yoshiki brought her back against him. She didn't want to go forward, the future just seemed too hard. She wasn't sure what the apology was for... but she could hardly focus on that. Ayumi leaned into the kiss, trying to savor the feeling before he pulled away. This was awful. As he spoke, her chest hurt so much, it felt ready to burst. She didn't feel ready for goodbye... she didn't want to say goodbye. She could hardly register that these would probably be their last moments with each other. She took a couple deep breaths, trying to regain her ability to speak and curb the tears as he requested. It just... it felt wrong getting out of this place without him. "I-I'm going to miss you Sh- Yoshiki... You're the only reason I'm making it out of this place..." she said, trying to put on a brave face about all of this. Even if it was a paper thin mask, she needed to pretend she was okay. "So... thank you... for everything. But... I'm not saying goodbye," Ayumi said, her hands gripping onto his sleeves tightly. She wasn't going to forget him, and a part of her needed to believe that Yoshiki would somehow pull through all this.
"I'll miss you too." Yoshiki smiled faintly at her, coming to know she was just as stubborn as he was. It's not like he wanted to either... but it was for the good of her future. True love didn't start in a place like this. "I... suppose I can't make you," he admitted with a small sigh, giving her one last kiss on her head. "We... have to get going, or our chance could slip away," he said, pulling away from her. He kept a firm hold on her hand to help her up, heading out the door after he was sure she was stably upright. The sad excuses for guards were still asleep, their loud snores signalling a deep sleep. He traveled further up, until they came to a door. He didn't have the key for it... Only Koga did. He could break it open, but an alarm would follow, so Ayumi would have to bolt for a place with other people. He glared outside, spotting the top of the hospital a few blocks away. Could she make it? "Run as fast as you can for the hospital, okay?" he asked quietly, motioning her towards the door. He had to make sure she was ready before forcing the door open.
Ayumi was scared to move forward, for too many reasons to list. She nodded, understanding it was now or never. They couldn't linger forever, and it was best not to. It would just get harder, not easier. She complied to his motions, her legs feeling unstable from little use. She steadied herself quickly, following Yoshiki's lead. She was too frightened to even breath as they passed the guards, worried that they may be awoken by the slightest movement. It felt like a long time before they got to the door, the moment of truth seemed to be rearing its head. Although, she was surprised... In her head, this building had been in the middle of nowhere. But it was blocks away from a hospital? Those men were doing such evil acts and it was right under everyone's noses? It made her stomach uneasy. She looked at Yoshiki, meeting his eyes. She really hoped this wouldn't be the last time she saw him. No, it couldn't be. Her denial pushed forward, putting her mind in the moment as opposed to any possible futures. "Okay," she replied, trying to feign confidence in this. She'd have a decent head start... and adrenaline would give her legs the ability to get her there.
Yoshiki took a deep breath at her answer, his hand taking a hold of the handle. "Right when I get it open, run," he instructed, waiting a moment to ensure she got the message. With his nerves steeled, and his confidence in Ayumi strong, he pushed forward and slammed against the door to bust the lock. A blazing alarm came on afterword. He knew it had been coming, but hearing it was a whole lot more stressful. He seriously hoped Ayumi could make it... He believed she could. But just in case, he'd attempt to cut them off at the door, to at least buy her time. He shut the door behind her, holding onto the handle so it didn't open on it's own accord. Now all he had to do was wait... and try to hold them off as long as he could. Of course, he hadn't told Ayumi about this part of the plan, but she didn't need to worry about him. She just had to focus on running to safety.
Ayumi felt tense and nervous as he gave repeated his instructions. She just... had to focus on the hospital. She'd be safe there. The fear clawing at her mind was more potent than ever at the all-or-none nature of this. The moment the door was open, the alarm blaring horribly in her ears, she went into a sprint. She couldn't register anything around her, the sound of the fading alarm didn't comfort her nerves as she feared being captured again. She just kept her eyes ahead on the hospital, letting her fear drive her.
Koga was startled awake by the screeching alarm. He growled in annoyance as he was woken up, but concern hit him quickly. The alarm almost never went off, but when it did, it was never good. He went running as quickly as his feet could carry him upstairs to the door. As he moved to go up the stairs, Ito grabbed his arm in panic.
"She's gone!" he said, eyes wide. They never lost girls. Because a girl getting out meant they were all going under.
"Who?!" Koga asked with a snarl, even though he already knew who would have been able to get out.
"Shinozaki..." Ito answered. Koga let out a yell of anger, spewing curse words. He pulled Ito's hand off him as he charged upstairs. No way in fucking hell was she going to escape! As he made his way up the stairs. As he got to the front door, he saw a scene that matched his expectations. But... he was broken! Pathetic! A crying mess! He couldn't have... "What the fuck is wrong with you!? Do you know how much money we're going to lose!?" he yelled. His guys stopped trying to fight Yoshiki the moment Koga arrived on the scene. And now they'd have to relocate and go through a bunch of bullshit so that little bitch doesn't give anything away!
Yoshiki was met quickly by several of Koga's lackeys. He was able to keep them off considerable well, given his injuries still wracked his body. One particular hit sent him into the wall, and he was certain he tasted blood, probably after cutting his tongue after a hard punch. But he wasn't deterred by any of this. He kept punching back, with two times the force. He paused as they stopped, seeing Koga, who looked satisfyingly pissed. He stared at Koga a moment, before a smirk came to his face and a small chuckle rumbled from his throat. "You only wish that was all you'd be losing," he said as his eyes narrowed, and then his look grew dark, "You think you can kill my sister, and get away with just a loss of profit? Haha... such a jackass."
Koga realized in that moment that he should have just killed Yoshiki along with his sister. He had always been more trouble than he had been worth. His eyes narrowed, his hands clutched in fists at his sides. That damn smirk... Though, as he spoke, Koga felt an overwhelming dread fill him."What the fuck did you do!?" Koga yelled, eyes wild with rage. He had been so careful with his business... so meticulous... he couldn't see the creation he made destroyed. The girl had escaped... it was too late at this point to catch up to her before she found someone. Koga's mind was already churning desperately to figure out a way he could get out of this unscathed.
Yoshiki regained his smirk, looking at each of them. He knew all their names, what they looked like, where their base was... So much information. "You can't figure that out for yourself?" he asked in a mocking fashion, placing his hands in his pockets as his narrowed eyes landed back on Koga. "To her, I'm not Shiba anymore," he paused, his smirk somewhat growing, "I'm Kishinuma Yoshiki."
Koga's fear was confirmed, and his vision turned red with rage. "You motherfucker! You've screwed us all!" he yelled, his hand going into his pocket and pulling a switchblade out. The slick metal shot out, Koga's grip on it trembled slightly from pure anger. "I'm going to kill you, just like I slaughtered your fucking sister!" Koga felt everything he worked for slipping away, just because of this goddamn bastard. He never should have bothered with him! He should have killed him when he had the chance!
Yoshiki tensed slightly as Koga reached in his pocket. He knew it would be a weapon, but his mind had already went to the worst possibility. So, at the sight of the knife, he couldn't help but be relieved that it wasn't a gun. There was no sort of chance of fighting back against a fire arm, but with just a switchblade, Yoshiki was pretty certain he could survive this. His confidence shot up as the others that had been around Koga started to retreat back into the hideout, panicking over the police coming and arresting them. Ha, when it really mattered, their loyalty was only a sham. His smirk remained, his eyes narrowed with slight enjoyment about how much they were all afraid. He knew underneath Koga's anger that he was scared too. His anger overpowered his satisfaction with the destruction of what Koga had created at the mention of Miki. An intense fire burned in him that told him to kill this bastard, but then Ayumi came to mind. 'Keep making decisions you can be proud of, until you can look at yourself and see you're not a bad person.' Killing to get retribution... wouldn't be something he'd be proud of... He took a quiet, deep breath to calm his nerves, but still had a look of disgust. "You better thank her... She's the only reason you're going to live," he said in a dark tone and glowered at Koga.
Koga looked around in disgust as his underlings began to scurry away like rats. "Get the fuck back here, you pussies!" Koga yelled at him, but not a single one hesitated in their action to get the hell away. It made such anger burn in his throat, rational thinking was completely gone. He wouldn't run. He would find a way to kill Yoshiki if it was the last goddamn thing he did. He looked at the traitor, his eyes narrowed. "Fuck you, Kishinuma! I'm going to fucking paint the walls with your blood, and I'll find that little bitch and I'll slit her throat too," he began to ramble. He could fix this. He just had to be quick. Had to get his own hands a little dirty. He charged forward at Yoshiki, moving the blade in a stabbing motion. At the end of the charge, though, he only got to graze his arm. The blood that fell onto the switchblade motivated him, though. He moved his arm upwards, trying any motion that may kill or wound him. At the end of that cut, though, all he got was a nick onto Yoshiki's face. Koga let out a yell of anger, continuing his wild, sloppy swings in the desperate attempt to kill Yoshiki.
Yoshiki didn't humor Koga with a response, preparing himself as he seemed to be eager to start. The earlier hit to his head made him slightly sluggish at first, earning him a few cuts, but nothing that inhibited his ability to fight. Once his mind cleared with the urgency of the life or death fight, Koga's wild swings became easier to avoid. He grabbed his arm at one of the random jabs, twisting it to delay his reactions so he could land a strong punch to the side of his jaw, propelling him to the side after he let go of his arm. Koga let his 'friends' fight for him all these years... Heh, he must have forgotten how to adequately defend himself with his own hands, instead of others. "You're all bark and no bite, Koga," he said, his smirk returning, "Kill me, huh? You've only managed small cuts on a handicapped stray. You couldn't even take me down alone in your dreams."
Koga gritted his teeth as he realized this was not a fight he was going to win. He should have grabbed his goddamn gun! There were a lot of things he would have done differently if given the chance... like kill Yoshiki when he was bound and weak. He glared at Yoshiki, wanting the bastard to drop dead so much. In the distance, he heard the faint echo of police sirens. He wasn't if sure if they were heading in this direction or not, but suddenly he didn't even want to deal with Yoshiki. He just wanted to avoid going to prison. "Fuck! You aren't even worth this!" he yelled, scrambling to get away. There was no way he was going to be caged the rest of his life.
Yoshiki looked to the side for a moment at the sound of sirens, wondering if they were headed this way. His attention was quickly back on Koga as he attempted to run away like the rest. A flare of anger burst in his chest. He moved forward quickly, catching his arm and slinging him to the ground, planting a knee in his back and holding his armed hand behind his back. "Fuck no! If I'm dragging anyone down with me, it's going to be you," he said with immense hatred, twisting his arm slightly just out of spite.
Koga struggled under Yoshiki, the pain hardly registering in his panicked brain. He didn't want to get caught. He had ran this operation flawlessly for years, but now... just because of Yoshiki... it was all crumbling down in one night. "GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" he yelled, trying to shake Yoshiki off him.
Yoshiki didn't move himself, but only held him harder, twisting his arm with an even greater strength. "I bet Miki begged like that too...," he said darkly, showing that he would give Koga no sort of mercy, to the extent of leaving him with an inch of his life. He grabbed Koga's hair with his free hand, pulling him up to distort his body in a painful position. "You'll be wishing the police would come sooner," he threatened, his eyes glaring at Koga under the shadow on his face.
Koga grimaced as his arm was twisted and head was pulled back. Pain shot from his back and limbs, but he tried to keep himself from showing the pain was even affecting him. "You're going to regret this!" Koga threatened, though at this point, he didn't have any weight to back up his words. His so called 'friends' were long gong, running through the streets desperately trying to hide from being captured. And, when caught, he'd need a fucking amazing lawyer to get him out of his charges... No, even the best lawyer in the world couldn't get him out of this. All the girls in chains downstairs... they'd speak against him. It was all breaking down.
Yoshiki made a small laugh, pushing Koga's head against the concrete with controlled force. "I regret a lot... but not this," he replied sharply, firm in his relief that this was the right thing, and Koga had nothing left to threaten him with. Ayumi had surely made it to safety by now, and police would come shortly after. He... had succeeded in taking down this group... Some may escape, but he had Koga within his grasp, and the others were now just leaderless rats. And the girls that hadn't been sold... he had saved them too... though, he wished he had been able to sooner. A lot of the girls... had been through so much already... He doubted they would be okay even after they got to safety... But at least he got them out of more harm's way.
"YOU BASTARD," Koga screamed, his movements never ceasing as he desperately tried to escape Yoshiki's grasp. "THIS ISN'T HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO END," he began to rant, his voice echoing in the empty halls of the top floor of his base. "I should have fucking murdered you when I had the chance! I swear to fucking god I'll find a way to kill you Kishinuma! I won't let you win this, dammit!" he snarled, spit flying out of his mouth. The sirens were louder. They sounded like a funeral song in his ears.
Yoshiki smirked as he watched Koga squirm and shout, eyes lifting to the approaching red and blue hued lights. "You're going to have a while to think about how," he said in response, unfazed by his threats, "You're in deep shit, we both know that. You've ran this business for over three years, raped nearly every victim... and now you've committed murder... Or have you done it before? I wonder how much the police will dig up on their own..." He wished a life sentence on this bastard, but he wasn't sure he'd get a hefty punishment like that... He could only hope.
"You're fucking yourself over too, y'know!" Koga yelled, frustrated by his confined position and the approaching sirens and lights. "You're no better than me! You helped for almost all that time! You're the reason your sister is dead!" He was trying to piss off Yoshiki or at least get some type of rise out of him. He opened his mouth to scream more when suddenly a squad of police came charging the place.
"Get off him and put your hands where I can see them!" one of the officers shouted at them. Multiple guns were pointed at the both of them. Some of the officers went running right by the two boys to go examine the building thoroughly. While the guys had probably scrambled out of the building by now, they'd find the girls in their cells. Though, they may have some trouble getting into said cells.
Yoshiki turned his eyes back to Koga, his eyes narrowing. "That's the point," he said simply, but then his attention was turned toward the shouting officer. He did as told, backing off of Koga and raising his hands. Now that they were here, he didn't need to assure that Koga wouldn't get away. It seemed... this was all finally over... Thank God... He gave a small sigh of relief, eyes cast downward.
