The car continued to drive for so ti. Any ti I started to move or fight back, soone ended up punching in the gut. I was lucky I didnt throw up in my mask. Well, I was soone who didnt vomit really easily. Even when I caught stomach flu, I could lie crouched in pain for days where a quick vomit would make feel better. In this particular situation, my high tolerance was a blessing. I spoke up a few tis, but I was basically ignored, and if I got too loud, I ended up getting punched again. Eventually, I settled into a sullen silence as I tried to work through what was happening.
After so careful thought, there was only one conclusion in my mind. Gina had finally revealed the blackmail in which I had forced her into sex. That would certainly bring the Yakuza heat on . They had even ntioned Gina when they snatched off the street. Worst of all, I had no defense for myself. I had chosen to molest a woman I didnt even know. Maybe she was just being vindictive because I had turned her down. Could I have avoided this if I had just given her more attention?
The car finally stopped and I was pulled out. I still couldnt see anything, but I could hear voices. Two n had by each arm and were dragging sowhere with the bag over my head, all I could see were shadows. I was aware when we passed indoors, but that was it. Eventually, I was sat sowhere, and my hands were tied down to the chair. They didnt pull my pants down, so I was hoping they werent going to co up with any abstract or miserable forms of torture.
I remained in the room in the dark for nearly two hours. I realized I was alone, but I was pretty sure calling out wouldnt do any good. There was one person I could call to though. Netorare hadnt answered before, but whatever distraction she had by Netorase had to be resolved by now.
Netorare? I asked.
Im sorry I heard a faint whisper in the darkroom. As soon as you were grabbed, I ca but Netori sent a ssage. She said dont get involved.
What?
Netorare had to be lying, right? Why would Netori leave here to be tortured?
Hakaru her voice sounded at the point of tears. I must listen to sister. I lost and thus I am bound to follow her orders. That was the agreent, and its now enforced by the greater gods. Netori said that I shouldnt get involved in earthly matters. She said it will be resolved by another, and I must only watch. Please be strong.
I felt a surge of anger and hopelessness. Why was she forsaking ? She was really just going to allow to be tortured by these goons? This wouldnt even have happened if Netorase wasnt a cheating bitch in the first place. This was all their fault, and I was the one who had to be punished for it?
I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was surprisingly warm and comfortable. Netorare was extrely close to , although I could see her, and I had a distinct feeling even if my mask was off and the lights were on, I still wouldnt see her.
I promise you Netorare said. I will make this up to you. I will
If I survive I finished bitterly.
Before Netorare could say anything further, the door opened with a loud raspy noise suggesting tal scraping against tal. Her hand on my shoulder disappeared just as the lights were turned on. I could see the light through my mask, but everything else was obscured. Two sets of steps were approaching until a hand grabbed the bag and so of my hair besides and yanked it off. I gritted my teeth as I felt so hair go with the bag.
I blinked a few tis trying to get used to the light, and my eyes finally fell on the person holding my mask. It was none other than Gio. The guy next to him was just a random tough whom I didnt know. I blinked a couple more tis and then shot him a look.
What the hell, Gio?
I could say the sa thing. He said, his expression looking bitter. After that disaster with Jack, I was thinking Id be a better judge of character but arent you a piece of work.
I dont get it I didnt do anything I said.
Gio nodded and the guy next to him stepped forward and punched across the face. I wasnt a guy who got into a lot of fights, and being punched was extrely painful. I could only grimace as the pain spread throughout.
You rember my sister, dont you? Gio asked. I cant believe youd do that to her.
Shit he knows everything. Damn it. Do I keep lying, or do I apologize?
I-Im sorry GAH My breath ca out as a fist landed in my gut and I let out a gasp. Fuck
No no you dont get to be sorry. Gio continued. Pops is furious. You think getting my anger out is bad, just wait until pops has at you. Hes going to tear you apart.
Look, man I didnt know I said, coughing. It was an accident I Ahhhh This punch made my jaw feel like it was loose.
Didnt know? You didnt know you got my sister pregnant and then told her to fuck off? He cursed. You know maybe if that was it, I could forgive you, but then you hit my sister and try to make the baby aborted. Thats a Yamaki family baby, and you were going to murder it. That shit just aint flying
What the hell was he talking about? I didnt get her pregnant. This really was a setup! Before I could voice anything else, the man next to Gio started punching so more. The pain was awful, I let out screams, but the hits kept coming. I was just starting to think they would never end when the door opened again. This ti, There was a bigger group of people coming in.
There was an old man with a cane, a least six toughs in suites, and standing at the very back was Gina. I shot her a glare, but she didnt seem to be looking at at all. Rather, she was looking down at her hands and fidgeting.
Gio son I know you want to remove so of your anger, but you need to be careful. The old man said, moving up to Gio and patting his cheek.
Damn it, dad, after what he did to sis, this is light.
You speak the truth, son He may be a no-good shit but hes also the no-good shit who is the daddy to my grandson.
Gio made a noise. You dont honestly plan to leave this guy alive, do you?
Well, that shall remain to be seen. The old man shrugged, finally turning to .
I didnt get her pregnant! I growled, finally getting my breath under control. This is bullshit.
You dare! Gio took a step forward, but the old man raised his cane.
Gina?
The girl started but then stepped forward. It was definitely him! He asked out on a date but he really just wanted sex. He pushed down, and then when I ca to him and said I was pregnant thats when thats when he punched !
Thats a lie! I shouted, trying to move out of my chair, even as pain shot through . Why the hell are you lying?
She shrunk back at my alligations, but all the n in the room only grew more agitated. I wanted to use Dirt Scribe, but it was once a day. I wasted my attempt on Kira, which in turn was blocked by Netorase. The only ability I had right now was True Feelings. Given its failure to give what I wanted in the past, I had a feeling that True Feelings wouldnt do anything to help now. She probably truly wanted to fuck over.
You bastard Gio pushed forward but didnt push against his dads cane.
The old man looked down at and pursed his lips. You got so guts kid, calling my little girl a liar right in my face. I know no one wants to be a daddy, and so n have rage issues, so I was willing to overlook so things as long as you paid your due and swore your loyalty to my family, but youre making it really hard to forgive you, even if you are a runt.
As he was talking, a man slipped in and then approached him. He imdiately whispered sothing in the old mans ear.
What is that?
The guy spoke louder and I could hear him. I said, there is a woman out front. She asked to see you.
Tell her Im busy. Why are you bothering now? This is family business.
She said The man looked uncomfortable for a minute. She used a na. She called you the bone breaker. She said her na was
Hellcat. he finished the words, catching the man by surprise and leaving him just nodding numbly.
The old mans face suddenly froze. It was almost like all the air in the room had managed to vanish, and then he shook his head as if shaking off his daze.
Damn now? The old man seed completely flustered. Go, bring her in imdiately. Yes, straight here. No delay.
The guy nodded, turned and then left for the door. As for the old man, he started to straighten his tie and coat. He looked like he was about to see a girl he had a crush on.
Dad?
Not now Move him behind these crates. We have a guest, Look your best. He seed really anxious.
Two n grabbed and pulled my chair so I was facing away from the door. As they were pulling , one man whispered to another.
Didnt boss used to be called Bonebreaker back in his early days? he said under hushed breath, Who is Hellcat?
An old fla The other whispered back. Or so kind of childhood friend, maybe? I heard they were rivals. Her gang wouldnt fall in line with the Yakuza. She used to cause us hell a long ti ago. Thats where she got the na hellcat. Hes in love with her, but I heard she shot him down and settled down herself
That was all he had ti to say before the door opened. Turning my head, I couldnt see her or the door, but I could just make out the old man. He raised his hands and then walked out of my sight.
Pussycat! My it has been a long ti. Why would you suddenly show up at my door? What has it been, twenty years? The last I saw you, we were still teenagers.
Hello, Bonebreaker. Id like to say the visit was casual. Regrettably, that just isnt the case. A womans voice ca out.
The voice felt oddly familiar, but I had been hit so many tis I wasnt sure if I was just dizzy and imagining things.
Ah business then. Is there sothing I can do for you?
Of sorts. It seems like youve decided to touch my property.
The atmosphere that started out cordially suddenly turned silent and tense. There were a few monts before the old man responded.
Th-thats impossible.
I thought we had an agreent. I leave your group alone, and you dont touch what is mine.
I havent touched that shrine! I still dont get why you gave so much for us to leave it. I heard you beca a shrine maiden too, right? Look, I cant help that the shrine went under. I was under no obligation to support your little cult.
Im not talking about the shrine. This is personal. This is family.
That man He sounded even more uneasy. I havent touched him. Even though he goes around banging any girl and disrespecting you why the hell did you marry that fucker? Look, pussycat, I got the ssage years ago. You turned down. I moved on. If your husband is in trouble, its so other guy hes pissed off over the years. Dont act like Im the only man that fucker has cucked over the years.
Dont act so nave The loud steps left him and were getting closer to .
The two people who were guarding were looking over my shoulder with their mouths open as hands grabbed my chair. I was pulled out from behind my restraints and spun around. I looked up at the won who grabbed my chair, and the familiarity in her voice finally ca slamming ho. I had been suspicious. It was too difficult to believe, but it really was true.
Mother? I said, my eyes popping out.
Sweetie she rubbed a hand across my cheek, causing to wince.
As she looked over my body with extre affection and carefulness, her expression darkened at every bruise she ca across. A strange miasma seed to begin to grow around her, and I could feel the air start to chill in the room. She spun around and shot the group a glare, and several of them gasped or took a step back. The pregnant Gina grew weak in the knees and held the wall to keep from falling over. As for the old man, his face had gone completely white. She was facing a group of nearly ten ard n in suits yet the person who looked most afraid was the big boss himself!
