CHAPTER 14
On this moonless night in the neighborhood of Miyuki Takara and Minami Iwasaki, three young criminals dressed in their traditional black attire eyed another expensive luxury car sitting in front of another large house. Two of them were girls with crowbars and they dashed through the night and took up positions behind the car and watched their male leader get into position behind a large iron fence lined with shrubbery near the gate, also with a crowbar and all of them wearing ski masks. With his female counterparts ready for action, he turned to them and nodded.
The more confident of the two girls nodded back and slowly stood. She tightened her grip on her crowbar, raised it high, and swung it downward. The metal tool smashed through the driver's window, triggering the car alarm and sending the vehicle into a noisy fit as the headlights also flashed. It didn't detour the two girls as the female leader unlocked the door and opened it, allowing her partner to climb in.
The masked girl inside the car was breathing hard and trembling ferociously as she drove her crowbar into the screaming car's built-in GPS and began to dig it in further to try and pry it out. Her adrenaline was surging and her sweat was trickling down her face and soaking into her black ski mask, both from the fear and the approaching withdrawal. She needed more drugs and was committing herself to a life of crime to get them.
The front porch lights of the large house suddenly came on and the front door opened. A middle-aged man was tying his robe together as he looked into the darkness and saw the two girls trying to vandalize and steal from his expensive car.
"Hey you damn kids! Get the fuck out of my car!" He yelled from his open door.
The girl outside the car hissed, "Don't listen to that asshole. You're doing great baby so keep going. Ryuji's watching over us."
The girl trying to dig the GPS out nodded and continued to pull it further out, enraging the owner. As his wife from inside exclaimed she was calling the police, he decided to take matters into his own hands. The enraged owner unlocked the gate of his fence that was lined with tall shrubs and stepped out into the open. The male leader of the girls suddenly appeared in a flash like a lightning bolt and reared his crowbar. He thrust it forward and the metal tool struck the owner across the head and he fell like a lead weight.
That didn't stop the male leader however. He continued to hammer down on the man's head with the crowbar over and over again, even when the piercing screams of his terrified wife erupted from the doorframe. He just kept hitting him relentlessly, even when the man stopped moving and breathing altogether. The girl trying to pull the GPS out shuddered with each strike of metal to bone and released a fresh tear with each heartbreaking sound.
She was finally able to pull the GPS out and her partner cut the wires holding it in and they stashed it in a bag. They wanted to keep searching the car for more treasures but the sudden sound of police car sirens told them they needed to go. The male leader reached down into the lifeless man's mouth and started pulling until he was able to secure something he sought and joined his two female counterparts as they ran down the street, the sound of the screaming woman still echoing across the neighborhood and triggering more surrounding homes to turn on their lights.
The three criminals dove into their dark van and the male hopped into the driver's seat, started it, and floored it as the police cars neared the scene of the crime. Once again, they were able to flee the scene as the two girls unmasked themselves. Yuka Miyakawa ripped her mask off and breathed deep and sighed with a relaxing demeanor while her partner Kagami Hiiragi took her mask off, showing a look of pure terror. She trembled and cried as a result of her fear of the situation she was a part of.
As she hugged herself tightly in the back of the van, Miyakawa turned her head to her cousin driving the van and hissed, "Did you get it for me?"
Ryuji dug into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small object and flicked it over his shoulder as he drove. Miyakawa caught it with a smile while Ryuji said, "Keep the change."
Miyakawa giggled and she opened her hand, revealing that she was holding a blood-soaked human tooth. She picked it up with her other hand and held it to her face with a smile. "How lovely…it'll make a beautiful addition to my collection." She said with her own teeth-bearing grin.
Miyakawa spotted a small puddle of blood from the tooth in her hand, deepening her satisfaction and she lowered her face to it. She ran her tongue against her hand, mopping up the blood and Kagami watched with repugnance as Miyakawa savored the flavor and swallowed the red liquid. She chuckled once again after she breathed out, as if she had the privilege of dining on a five-star meal.
"Delicious…as always." She whispered with a smile and turned back to Kagami. "You did great, baby. You're getting much better at this. We might have to put you on guard next time instead of Ryuji."
Kagami rested her forehead on her two kneecaps as she continued to hug herself tight. She whimpered in a frightened voice, "I just want the cash. That's all. I just want my fix and to go to sleep."
Keeping her bitter smile, Miyakawa scooted closer and wrapped her snake-like arms around Kagami and pulled her close, making Kagami shiver in fear. "Now, now, my precious little Kagami. There's more to our lives than just the stealing and the drugs. We all like to have…company…every now and then. I know how stressful a heist can be…so what do you say we help ourselves relieve our stress? I knew you were cute from the very instant I saw you. It's a nice open van back here and Ryuji won't bother us since he's driving. What do you say? I'll let you taste me if you let me taste you…"
Kagami quickly lifted her head and saw Miyakawa's face only inches away from hers, ready to kiss her again. The twin-tailed girl didn't remember her first kiss with the sinister sociopath, so this was a new experience for her and she quickly began to squirm out of Miyakawa's grip and shuffled away.
"Mi…Miyakawa…" Kagami began with clear fright in her voice. "I…I don't want to do those…perverted things…especially with you. You're…you're a girl…"
To her surprise and fright, Miyakawa giggled. "Do you have a problem with girls who like other girls?"
Kagami quickly shook her head. "No, no, it's not like that. It's just that…I like guys."
"So do I." Miyakawa stated, drawing more confusion from Kagami. "Life's too short to be choosey. Once you let yourself go and become one with your desires and fantasies, it opens up a whole new world for you."
Kagami held herself tighter. "I…I don't want to do those…things."
Miyakawa shot a look at her cousin, who was looking back at her through the rearview mirror. He nodded to her and Miyakawa nodded back and using their body language, they began to manipulate Kagami again. Ryuji suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the van to a screeching halt and knocking Kagami forward. Miyakawa opened the sliding door, grabbed Kagami by her top, and threw her out of the van and she landed with a hard crash on the cold street. Miyakawa dropped the bag containing the stolen GPS next to Kagami.
"Like we said before, Kagami, if you're not willing to not only steal but also sell yourself for what you want, then you're no good to us." Miyakawa snapped. "I've been doing this since I was young and I've done every single perverted thing you could think of and things you never would be able to think of. We all pitch in and put in the work for our cut of the money and drugs. If you're not willing, then we'll leave you here for the cops to pick up along with that stolen GPS."
Kagami quickly stood and tried to remain calm. "I'll just tell them about you and maintain my innocence!"
"Who do you think they'll believe, Kagami? They already know you stole from your own family. Your own mother of all people. Let me tell you something, Kagami, I once fucked seven guys at the same time after I beat an old woman to death on the street trying to steal her ruby necklace and I would never steal from my mother." Miyakawa bit back in a convincing act. "You're evil, Kagami. You're garbage. We're all you have left whether you like it or not so without us, you lose everything. You lose your drugs, your shelter, your friends, maybe even your life."
"And what would that little sister of yours think if the cops picked you up with a stolen GPS from a dead man's car and dressed the way you are?!" Ryuji added as he pointed out Kagami's revealing outfit courteously of Miyakawa. "I'd be willing to bet your own baby sister would turn on you in an instant when she saw what you've become. Like Yuka said, you're nothing but pure garbage so we're the only ones in the world who will look after you!"
Kagami's only defense was stripped away from her in an instant and her paranoia began returning. As she was ready to cry, she heard another police car siren nearby, sealing the deal for her. She dropped more tears until she whimpered, "Okay…I'll do it. I'll…I'll sell myself."
Miyakawa grinned again. "Get the GPS and get back in."
Kagami complied and when she brought the stolen electronic back into the van, Miyakawa grabbed Kagami by her top, dragged her in, and slammed the door shut. Ryuji started driving again as Kagami continued crying, making Miyakawa smile with growing lust. She once again pulled the trembling and frightened Kagami close.
"It'll be okay, my precious little jewel. It'll hurt at first but after your first time, selling yourself will be the only thing on your mind." Miyakawa whispered and placed her hand on Kagami's cheek. "Let me start teaching you now. We'll start with…the proper kiss."
Before Kagami could object, Miyakawa pinned Kagami to the floor of the van and kissed her deeply. The twin-tailed girl squealed and resisted with her enlarged eyes but Miyakawa continued to dig deeper into Kagami's mouth while massaging her chest. More tears flowed out of Kagami's eyes as she felt she was being violated and Miyakawa eventually pulled out of the kiss and continued to hold her frightened prey down.
Grinning again, Miyakawa gently rubbed Kagami's crying face. "You're so cute when you're scared, Kagami. Don't worry sweetheart. I love you. I'll be the one who will always love you. I'm the only family you need now. Forget about those pathetic shits you call your parents and sisters."
Kagami sniffed while she cried. "Mi…Miyakawa…"
Miyakawa gently wiped a tear away from Kagami's face with her thumb. "I told you before, Kagami. Call me Yuka. I'm not only your family…I'll also be your one and only sister…forever."
Kagami still quivered in fear with her mind being twisted and perverted by Yuka Miyakawa. The female thief and sociopath Miyakawa hugged Kagami close and began to whisper her own version of a lullaby to Kagami.
"Give your soul to me for eternity, release your life to begin another time with me, end your grief with me, there's another way, release your life and take your place inside the fire with me…"

The three criminals were able to sell the stolen GPS to the same pawn shop where Kagami first offloaded her mother's heirlooms. It provided a full day of staying inside and smoking crack, shooting heroin, and even snorting cocaine. Kagami did more drugs than usual to try and forget the inevitable new job she was to start tonight. She savored every second of peace the drugs gave her, though they were barely able to take the edge off the stress and fear she was feeling about her newfound career.
To make Kagami feel more involved in the underground workings of Yuka Miyakawa and Ryuji Katsumoto, they divulged every detail to her on who they were and what they did. Up until then, they only let her tag along as a thief to test her loyalty. Now that it seemed that Kagami was serious about becoming a prostitute despite her spoken reluctance, they decided it was time for them to fully involve her. Yuka Miyakawa wasted no time in taking the lead and making Kagami sink further into her world.
She told Kagami all about the connection between her, her cousin, the pawn shop, and the strip club across the street known as Teasers. Ryuji was arrested several years ago for petty theft that led to assaulting a police officer and damaging of private property, a sentence that got him eighteen months in prison. While he was in prison, he met a man named Itou Shiraki who was serving time for solicitation of a prostitute and drug possession. However, Itou's record was a lot deeper than a few joint sticks and an insatiable lust for women. He ran a strip club called Teasers that met all the legal requirements on the surface, but it was what happened after hours that broke all the laws, both written and unwritten. He ran a deep prostitution ring, which was even coordinated and managed by none other than Yuka Miyakawa herself.
She started working for him when she was fifteen years old by dancing, though she was spoiled and corrupted long before that. Yuka Miyakawa was a girl who lost her virginity at age nine and was on her own by age eleven and was a warrior of the streets by thirteen. She even mastered the arts of fake IDs, which was how she got the job at Teasers to begin with, though Shiraki knew she was underage but didn't care, thus illustrating the kind of man he is. Starting the prostitution ring was even Miyakawa's idea, which presented a double-edged sword for him when he got out of prison and resumed his work. Though the prostitution ring brought in the cash, it was hard to find dancers willing to go the extra mile as most just wanted to show off their bodies and lived by the principle "looking, no touching." What made it more difficult was the fact that Yuka Miyakawa got into the habit of scaring off some of the other dancers with her insatiable sexual appetites and creepy tastes in fetishes, one of which resulted in the death of another dancer, forcing Shiraki to dispose of her body and cover it up.
One customer had a fetish for pain and blood, making him Yuka Miyakawa's new favorite customer. Miyakawa coordinated an act with a dancer where they would kiss each other until they would cut each other's palms and drink the blood, though as soon as Miyakawa got her taste, she went insane with power and lust. She ended up holding the screaming dancer down and sliced her throat open, giving her an endless supply of blood. Needless to say, Miyakawa also had to kill the customer, giving Shiraki twice the migraine but he still kept her around because he honestly believed that there wasn't another girl alive that was as depraved and willing to do literally anything sexual. The worst part was, he was right.
Before Shiraki left prison, he became friends with Ryuji because he was a young man who had incomparable street smarts and always knew how to locate things of specific desires, especially drugs of any variety. Because his cousin was already working as a stripper and prostitute at his club in addition to her "legal daytime status" as a retail store worker, he decided a collaboration was in order. Shiraki inserted himself into Ryuji's drug career with the help of his brother, Jiro, who owned a pawn shop just across the street. Ryuji would reel a new client in with his "free sample" policy for first time users and he would always make it the hard stuff to ensure addiction would follow. When they would become addicted, they would do anything to get the drugs again, so he would make the mild suggestion of selling some stolen goods, which was where Jiro came in. All the victims of addiction would have to do was bring the stolen goods to Jiro, tell him that Ryuji sent them, and he would roll out the cash for the goods. He would keep them off the books, which broke the law but since when did criminals care about the rule of law? When the items would be reported stolen and every time the police paid him a visit to look at his records, they would come up empty.
As solid as the team was, it wasn't without its issues. Ryuji acquired his drugs from a gang of street thugs and gangbangers that would supply him with the substances and they would split the profits, as well as some of the bounties Ryuji's addicts would bring to the pawn shop and they'd be resold on the streets to help keep police suspicion off Jiro. It was a pretty sweet setup, especially whenever the cops would find a stolen item in the hands of a gangbanger instead of on a shelf in Jiro's pawn shop. Each night though to keep the flow of money coming, Ryuji and Yuka would team up to go on heists by breaking into cars, electronic stores, whatever, or she would stand on a street corner and wait to have her fill of debauchery again. The issues between Ryuji's team and the drug gang however didn't arise with the drugs or with the pawn shop, but rather with Yuka herself.
Sometimes Ryuji would pay for drug shipments that arrived a little "short" in supply so the value was naturally down and he was out some of his investment before he could even start making it back. He suspected he was being cheated by the same gangbangers he was in collaboration with, which led to Yuka Miyakawa taking matters into her own hands to investigate. One night, it led her to go above and beyond the call of insanity.
She flirted with one of the members of the drug gang and because she was who she was both inside and outside, it didn't take her long until she had him in a sleazy motel room with her. Miyakawa was able to convince him to let her cuff his hands and feet to the bed, which was a fatal mistake on his part. She got lost in the "romantic" moment and slipped him a drug through a kiss that paralyzed him but he was still able to feel pain. With his mouth covered with duct tape, the gangbanger was forced to feel and watch Yuka Miyakawa disembowel him with her favorite serpent dagger and even eat some of his entrails in front of him. Naturally, when the drug gang found the hollowed body of their friend, it led to Yuka becoming a street legend and the unofficial daughter of Satan. Relations with Ryuji and the gang had been on thin ice ever since. Each side wanted to be the drug kingpins of town and no one wanted to give leeway to the other, which some feared made a gang war inevitable.
This was everything that Kagami Hiiragi had inserted herself into the middle of.
With Yuka's story fresh in her mind, the loosely-dressed twin-tailed girl stood outside on a street corner under a streetlamp at eleven o'clock at night, waiting for her first of many customers. She didn't know what she was more afraid of by this point. Whether it was losing her virginity, the fear of losing her drugs, or of Yuka Miyakawa herself or the operations she was happily a part of. For now, Kagami feared the unknowns of sex.
Yuka switched out Kagami's top for a more revealing black tube top, which barely covered her small breasts and completely exposed her belly. Shivering from fright of the night and the haunting silence that came with it, Kagami held onto her purse dangling at her hip to ease her stress. She couldn't help but look inside of it again to make sure she was still considering this horrendous act, which was confirmed for her when she saw over a dozen condoms sitting inside her purse. She gulped and quickly shut her purse as she continued to shiver and fought back the urge to cry.
So far it was a quiet night. Maybe no one would spot her or solicit her tonight. She could also hide somewhere for the entire night and say she was out looking for clients but none ever came. Kagami rolled so many possibilities in her mind but her street smarts were slowly kicking in. She had a sinking feeling that either Ryuji or Yuka were coming across clients and they were sending them her way. She knew this because she was told not to move from the corner she stood on by both of them, and it was regrettably common sense to Kagami that a virgin like her would have a very high street value.
The first noise she heard made her jump with terror. A clap of thunder tore through the night sky as a storm was rolling towards her. What came next though was even more terrifying. Lights illuminated behind her and Kagami slowly turned her head and her pupils shortened and sweat trickled downward when she saw a pair of headlights from a car heading towards her and it was slowing down.
The car pulled alongside her and the window rolled down and to Kagami's further horror, a man older than her own father began to eye her up. There was an unsettling pause between them until the man said, "You the virgin the crazy bitch was talking about?"
Feeling her knees knocking together and her voice tightening, Kagami squeaked, "Ye…yes…"
The old man smiled evilly. "The price she said was fifty thousand yen to take your virginity. Sound good to you, pretty girl?"
Reality was getting too close but Kagami's drug addiction kept dragging her forward. She nodded, her eyes still flooding with tears as the rain began to fall upon them. The voices inside her head were telling her to both run and push forward. The withdrawal was approaching so her mind was becoming a dark cloud, much like the ones dropping water on her.
The old man started laughing happily, making Kagami shiver and she knew it was for real when he opened his passenger door and said, "Get in."
She wanted to scream now and run for her life, but the drugs were her life now. The drugs took control of her and it even horrified Kagami's senses to see herself walking forward, her heavy boots echoing against the street in the dark part of the dingy section of town. Kagami instantly regretted sitting in the car when she was blasted by the smell of alcohol, cigarette smoke, and moldy food. Regardless, she closed the door and the old man began to drive away and for all Kagami knew, he could be driving her to her death.
He only drove around the block and pulled into a dark alley between two decrepit buildings. The two got in the backseats of his smelly and dirty car and Kagami fished in her purse as her hands trembled like maracas. She slowly pulled one of the condoms out and held it out to the man, who chuckled and took it to humor the scared girl.
Kagami pressed her body as hard as she could against the door and continued to stare through the glass, feeling like a prisoner in this impending horror. The cold raindrops continued to cover and fog the glass as she breathed hard and she wanted to scream when she felt the old man touch her shoulder.
As she breathed hard she quickly said, "Look, I'm scared and I've never done this before. Could…could you let me out please?"
"Oh come now honey, I just want to show you a good time. You want your money, don't you?" He asked and began to play with Kagami's long hair.
Kagami's old self began to break through when she reached for the door handle and exclaimed, "I don't want to do this, let me out!"
Kagami tried to open the door but it was locked and she suddenly saw the lock was busted off. She was trapped in the car with him. She let out a quick scream when the old man reached up her skirt and grabbed her panties. He ripped them off her legs with such harsh vigor and Kagami tried to keep backing up as she began crying and panting. It was as if she was trying to force her way through the door by force with her back and her panic deepened when she saw the man take off his pants and she saw the condom covering the part of him that would take away a part of her.
"Please…please…! Be gentle!" She cried for mercy and screamed again when he grabbed her legs, parted them, and pulled her closer to him. He grabbed her head and held her down as she continued to spew her tears into the rotten seats and cry for her mother.
"I'll be gentle with ya! I'll be gentle like a fucking beast!" He taunted and made his final approach towards Kagami, her legs separated and he rested on top of her. Kagami kept screaming in her mind one thing that would hopefully calm her down.
Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary! Pain is temporary!
She suddenly felt the flesh in her privates begin to stretch open and her heart leaped into her throat. The stretching underneath her skirt got worse and worse as did the pain until the petrified girl couldn't take it anymore. Kagami opened her mouth and released a scream of pure pain and terror, which was instantly buried by another clap of thunder as the storm was in full swing. The car started to rock back and forth in the heavy rainstorm and anyone walking by wouldn't think twice of it. They wouldn't even care when they would see Kagami's right hand squeezing the plastic handle inside the car with all its might to try and force out the pain while her left would be clawing at the rear window as her defloration continued.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped rocking but the rain continued to pound all around it, creating a haunting surrounding with the only noise being the falling water. There was a pause until the backseat door opened and the silent Kagami Hiiragi was pushed callously out of the car and she landed with a splash on the wet cement in the alley. The car's lights illuminated again and it soon sped away into the night, leaving the young girl alone in the alley as the unremitting rain followed.
Kagami remained motionless on the ground for a few more minutes until she slowly began to wince. She trembled fiercely as she slowly climbed to her feet, her body now soaking wet and shivering from the cold. With her knees knocking from the excruciating burning and throbbing pain she felt between her legs, she hugged herself tightly and simply stood there, unsure what to do next.
Her teary eyes suddenly spotted a large and empty refrigerator box at the corner of the alley and her tired legs slowly carried her towards it. With the silence still her only companion, Kagami took shelter in the moldy box and when she sat down, the pain electrified and she could still feel a patch of fresh blood continuing to grow and stain her blue and white striped panties. She curled tighter into a ball in the corner of the box as the rain fell endlessly and her eyes continued to drip tears while she stared into space.
The chain of events that transpired which ultimately led her to this refrigerator box in a back alley continued to haunt her mind. She could still smell him. His breath ripe with alcohol and cigarettes. She could still feel him inside her, pumping over and over again as she gritted her teeth in pain. She always envisioned her first time would be magical and romantic, but this was putrid. Her father always told her that she only got one first time…and she sold it for fifty thousand yen.
Her breathing becoming deeper and more sporadic, Kagami finally broke. She screamed again though no one was around to hear her wails of sorrow as she started crying loudly in her box. The ailing twin-tailed girl began rocking back and forth in her sea of pain and misery knowing that there was a part of her that was now gone and she would never get it back. Kagami kept crying and crying in the box as the rain fell upon her.
