Ch 3 The intent

Wait! Wait I beg you! I just need a brief audience from you-

The desperate groveling men were pulled to his feet by strong arms of the security. Tsukasa turned swiftly and walked away as he hears the feeble attempts of the men to push past his guards. Upon the glass sliding door, he hears the vengeful resolve of his ex-associate in business. The struggling man was once a profitable business partner, ruthless and prideful, but nonetheless a friend who was all too similar to himself. His last illegal attempt with fraud and extortion of information for his struggling company had ultimately led to his fall.

You-you will regret this! I'm telling you, you will regret this!

The man no longer struggle to be free from the firm grip of the security, but just cackle with sinister laughter as he was pulled out. These too frequent threats from his ex-business partners only annoyed Tsukasa as he try to paid no heed to anything the men had said. Rather, his mind took off to reminiscing his home and beloved wife in Japan.

5 months later

Let's go out already! I'm about to be suffocated in our home!

Tsukushi had thrown a small tantrum at Tsukasa, who held her snuggly in his strong arms. It was the middle of a lazy summer afternoon, and she was irritably pregnant with how boring the past few months played out. Tsukasa had seemed paranoid and possessed into keeping her indoor and away from the public. She had compromise as it was not hard to understand his worries. However, being the active and carefree women she always was, her free spirit would no longer put up with such tight security.

In her firm determination to persuade her husband to loosen his leash, he resorted to his usual method of quelling her anger. Kissing her half senseless, he had chuckle over at her feeble resistance against their own passion. Finally, she gave in to the familiar and exhilarating tingle left from his kisses. She glanced at him, slightly annoyed with herself for being defenseless against his loving hands. He sneaked his strong arms around her and gripped her possessively in the aftermath of their embrace.

She could only stare lovingly at him. The bright sun ray fell on him beautifully, and yet again she was entranced by how handsome and manly her husband has become. His wet curly hair was again messed in a sensual way, wrinkled brand name clothes buttoned loosely without care, his attire was casual and relax as he relent to her annoyance at him without a word. No longer was he only the rich kid with a handsome boyish face, and unmatched ignorance of the traditional Japanese idiom. Now he was a men with a good character that all too often carried too much arrogance and pride. But with a lean muscular build, strong arms, chiseled features and broad shoulder, his small fault in his character is all too often overlook and forgiven by her.

She breathed into his shirt, familiar masculine cologne mingled with her feminine scent. She has grown to love him more than she thought she could. She smiled giddily to herself as she turned to face him, giving him a chaste kiss before prodding him for a day out in the nice weather.

With an exasperatedly sigh he agreed with a few condition that they also take a few guards with them. Altogether too happy about the turn out, Tsukushi nodded and without a word hopped from his lap and rushed to their room for her sun dress.

It was just like another sunny day, kid played in the park's play ground, with small hands trembling in vain as they tried hold themselves up on the monkey bars. Sounds of glee and laughers carried off toward the couple, who were partially hidden away by the shades of the tree.

The guards were dismissed after much persuasion from his hopeful wife, who had desperately wanted more privacy. He really couldn't deny her anything. They sat closely together as they picnicked on a nearby park. Tsukushi and he were enjoying each other's company as they talk over the future with firm absolute and promise. They smiled widely as they stare admiringly at the kids playing. Tsukasa leaned forward as he placed his hand on her stomach, proudly rubbing her growing belly that occasionally awes him with a kick.

A red ball rolled towards them, it was follow by a running child, and in a hurry the child tripped over and fell. She sat up and glanced down at the throbbing pain, red liquid slowly flowed out from her knee, the child begin trembling, her small shoulders shook as she let out a wail.

A sudden urge from her maternal instinct, Tsukushi rush over to the child. She softly croons over the child with tender words and hands. Tsukasa smiled with much pride at his wife, and observe the warming scene before him. The child stops her tears and began babbling brightly to Tsukushi as her wounds were attended with bottle water and a small band aid. Warmth and love strummed in his heart as his eyes glazed over imagining the future and perhaps a identical scene much like the one before him.

Then something moved.

Out of the corner of his eyes there was a movement of leaves. As fast as he could, he rushed forward to his wife and the small child. But it was too late. Tsukushi's smiling face quickly froze into fear as she sees a strange man dressed in black protective clothing before her. She protectively gripped the trembling child in her arms, hugging her firmly. Staring warily but unwaveringly at the man, her eyes were determined and brave. The interaction before Tsukasa was happening too fast. All this occur within a matter of few seconds.

Everything after that was shown like a slowed film with vivid sharpness.

The towering man hesitated, but soon became firm as the skin around his eyes tightens with a decision. The gun shook for the owner's conscience was all too soon calmed with a sinister intent. In the next second, the triggered was pulled; the bullet left the gun, and then everything became a nightmare.

A thunderous bang blared out in his ears, deafening him.

And then silence. He hears nothing.

All he sees was red. Blood splattering the scene, and the man left as swiftly as he came.

Suddenly ringing noises in his ear sound out, followed by chilly screams and cries as people half gathered and half ran from the horrific scene.

Everything felt surreal, his hands swiftly reached for his cell phone and begin dialing for the ambulance.

He was unsure what he had said, or what had left his mouth, but from the confirmation of location he realized that they were coming.

His wobbly knees soon crumble when he reach the center of morbid attention from the crowd.

He felt sick.

Slowly he held out his trembling hands to the fallen figure.

Cradling her head, he opened his mouth to say something. Something. Anything.

He had to say something to calm his nerves. This fear that has ridden over his soul, something chilly and cold gripped him.

The glass cup tipped and his happiness overflowed from the cup,

leaving in its wake, a fallen and empty glass cup.

An ear-piercing sound left him.

And he realized he screamed.
