"So, who are these clients?" Monk-san asked as Naru opened the office door,
"That would be us." A gruff voice replied. Naru's eyes snapped to the couch, where two middle-aged men sat, both wearing dark casual clothes. Monk-san stepped in ahead of Naru as everyone else appeared in the doorway.
"Who are you?" he demanded as he stepped forward, "And how did you get in here?" he added as he leaned on the back of on of the sofas glaring at them, but before they could reply their eyes turned away to the door, where Mai stood, a look of terror on her face,
"Not you, not now…" she whispered pleadingly as she backed into the walls, her hands covering her face. Lin and Naru stepped in front of her protectively while Ayako went to Mai and put her arms around her protectively, and Masako stood firmly at her side while John stood in the doorway.
"Let's not be hasty. I am Haru Taniyama, and this is my brother, Shinta Taniyama. We are Mai's legal guardians, and as such, we have come here to collect her." Haru, the older of the two, said, a hint of warning in his voice as his gaze stopped on Monk-san, who was close to recklessly attacking the men in front of him.
"She's not going anywhere with you." Monk-san said firmly, stepping forward and sizing up Haru, who was about his size with short black hair,
"There's no need for violence you know…" the younger man said, who was more John's size, his hair the same light brown as Mai's and his eyes, like Mai's were soft and gentle, it was hard to believe him capable of any evil.
"We are her legal guardians, and we will take her, whether it is with or without police involvement is your decision." Haru threatened, stepping closer to Monk-san so that they were eye level, both glaring hard.
"H-Haru, there's no need for that." Shinta objected as he laid a hand on his brother's shoulder, falling to the floor as Haru backhanded him across the face.
"Keep out of this you fool!" he scolded, grabbing the front of Monk-san's top, "I don't like you much." He said,
"The feeling's mutual." Monk-san replied calmly, ignoring the hold on his top completely.
"If you resist then I'll sell her…she'd fetch a good price with that pretty face and figure…at least ten million yen I'd say…she is a virgin after all." He thought aloud as he looked over Mai's body.
"That's where you're wrong!" Naru replied as he pushed Monk-san aside and punched Haru across the face, his head snapping to the side with the impact,
"So, she's a cheap whore, that works for me, I love cheap whores, I have houses full of them, and in brothels the more experience the better." Haru replied, laughing as Naru glared up at him, his fists shaking in anger.
"Mai." Naru said as he went over to her, "Marry me." He said urgently, the look on Mai's face would have been comical had the situation been different,
"What?" she asked incredulously,
"Marry me Damnit! If you're married your husband becomes your legal guardian, meaning they can't touch you." He explained hurriedly, seeing the solution dawn on Mai, but Haru objected,
"A good theory, but with a few flaws. Firstly, you have to get out of her and actually marry, and secondly she can't get married without her guardian's consent until she's eighteen, that's two years away. Sorry to burst your bubble." He added mockingly, watching Naru thinking a way around it,
"Alright, you won't give your consent, so what about you?" Monk-san asked, turning to Shinta, who was still on the floor, his hand held to his jaw where he had been struck. Shinta looked up at his brother fearfully before shaking his head, "Alright, I don't blame you." Monk-san sighed in defeat,
"I guess it's about time we were leaving." Haru said as he went to walk by Monk-san, who stepped in his way,
"You're not taking her." He said firmly,
"I grow tired of this." Haru sighed as he pulled a gun out of his pocket, shooting Monk-san through the chest, looking down at his bleeding form with disinterest,
"Houshou!" Ayako cried as she hurried forward, feeling Haru grab her hair as she knelt beside Monk-san, "Let go!" she shouted, feeling the hard metal of the gun pressed to her head,
"Alright, we're leaving with Mai. Now." Haru said,
"Brother wait! Don't I know you?" Shinta asked curiously as he knelt in front of Ayako and looked at her as she opened Monk-san's shirt and examined the wound, "It's you!" he said in shock,
"What do you mean?" Ayako asked, not looking up from Monk-san's chest, using his shirt to wipe away the worst of the blood,
"It was about three years ago, in Kyoto." Shinta began...
"Hold on brother!" Shinta cried as he half dragged Haru down the darkened streets, no one in sight as they stumbled towards the hospital, which was miles away, I don't know what to do! Should we even go there? We're wanted criminals! He thought in a panic as he paused, gasping as Haru fell to the ground beside him, "Haru! Hold on please!" he cried as he laid his brother down.
"What's going on?" a feminine voice asked. He looked up to see a beautiful young woman with long red hair looking down at him, her breath condensing in the air as she looked down in concern,
"M-my brother, he's been shot!" Shinta replied helplessly, watching as the young woman's dark eyes widened and she pulled off her long white fur-lined coat, revealing a smart suit beneath as she fell to her knees, setting her brief case aside,
"Where's the wound?" she demanded as she opened Haru's coat, seeing that the white shirt Haru was wearing was covered in blood.
"H-His chest. Here." Shinta replied as he pointed to his right ribcage, where Ayako could feel splintered ribs,
"Shit! You called an ambulance right?" she snapped as she ripped the shirt open, her fingers delicately probing the wound, her expression worried,
"W-well no." Shinta replied,
"What? You're brother is dying here! He needs to be at the hospital as soon as possible! Grab my phone!" she shouted, ripping the sleeve of her shirt off and pressing it to the bleeding wound. Shinta rummaged in her bag and handed her a sleek silver phone, taking a peek at some of the papers in the bag, all of them with 'Matsuzaki Central Hospital' in the corner of the page, she's a…doctor? He thought in amazement as he continued flicking through, finding a name. Dr. Ayako Matsuzaki…
"Kaoru! I need an ambulance on the main street! Now! No buts, now!" she shouted before hanging up the phone, just holding the bloody material to the wound firmly, "Shit! The bleeding isn't stopping! Don't you dare fucking die!" she shouted at Haru as his skin paled. Shinta looked up at the blue lights appeared and the ambulance pulled up, paramedics gathering round,
"Dr. Matsuzaki, what happened here?" one of the men asked as they gathered around with equipment,
"Bullet wound, it's penetrated three ribs and the lung on the right hand side, we need to get him to surgery!" she replied as she climbed into the ambulance, another paramedic grabbing her brief case. The doors closed and the ambulance pulled off to the hospital as Shinta stood at the side of the road, picking up Ayako's forgotten coat and watching the empty road.
"Don't you remember?" Shinta asked, looking down at Monk-san's wound, which was a lot like the one his brother had sustained,
"I see hundred, no thousands of people in a year, I don't remember them all…but then again…I do remember a cold December night in Kyoto." She replied, ripping the sleeve off her shirt and pressing it on the wound. "But that's not important right now! I need an ambulance! Quick!" she shouted, ignoring the gun as she turned to John, who nodded and took the chance to run out of the door, a bullet whizzing past his head as he ran,
"Shinta! Stop him!" Haru ordered, turning to look at Shinta as he just stood there, "Are you deaf?" Haru asked incredulously,
"No…I won't stop him." Shinta replied.
"I see…in that case." Haru said regretfully, pulling the trigger and watching emotionlessly as his brother fell to the floor, his eyes wide and vacant. At the wall Mai screamed, diving past Ayako to Shinta's side, this whole time…all these years…I thought it was both of you, I'm sorry Shinta, I'm sorry you got caught up with Haru, I'm sorry I-It's my you're dead! She thought as she looked at the vacant eyes. She felt hands on her shoulder and looked up to see Lin, his eyes full of warmth and concern. "Mai, you will get up, and you will come with me, or I will shoot him next." Haru threatened as he shifted the gun to Lin, Lin-san? Why Lin? She wondered, seeing something dawn on Haru, "Or perhaps I am mistaken…very well, this one." He decided, shifting to aim at Naru, who merely glared in return,
"Haru! Stop this!" Masako said as she stepped forward, the gun shifting to her as she stepped closer,
"Get back girl!" he shouted,
"Do you not recognise me Haru?" Masako asked, her eyes showing a different presence to Masako. Haru looked impatient at first, but then he recognised him,
"Hideki, my dear baby brother, I didn't think it possible…so…what do you want?" Haru asked as he shifted his aim back to Naru and stared at Masako,
"I want you to leave my daughter alone." Hideki replied firmly, "Do this for me, I am your brother!" he added,
"Ah, but dear brother, your daughter would make me a lot of money, as would that nice house of yours." Haru replied,
"Is that all you want?" came a new voice from the door. Haru looked up to see Fai, "Well, if that's it then perhaps we can cut a deal, I am, after all, the lord of a mansion." He said as he stepped inside and looked at the carnage in disgust, the gun shifted to aim at him, "Oh put it away, I've come here on business." Fai said as he crossed to a sofa and sat down, pulling out a check book and looking at Haru with his pen poised,
"You will pay any price I ask?" Haru asked as he turned away from Naru and Masako,
"Of course, Mai is family, I can't let you have her." He replied, lowering the pen to the page, "Well? Name your price." He added,
"Ten million yen." Haru named,
"Is that all?" Fai asked in surprise,
"That and the house." Haru replied,
"How about I name it twenty million, and you leave the house?" Fai offered, writing the numbers as he received a nod.
"What are you going to do about the guardian?" Haru asked as he took the check,
"I'd adopt her." Lin said, his hand squeezing Mai's shoulder gently,
"I would too!" Ayako added,
"Or me." Monk-san managed weakly,
"She's always welcome at the church." John offered, having returned with Fai after calling an ambulance,
"I'd ask my father too." Masako piped up, Hideki releasing her,
"And of course I too am family." Fai said, "Now I suggest you leave, and leave quickly. You may have bought the police in Kyoto, but I have many friends in the Tokyo police, as for the chief…he owes me a few favours." Fai warned politely, his face as charming as usual, but his voice held a deadly undertone, one that shook Haru to the core.
"Fine." Haru replied, "Shinta we're leaving." He called, forgetting for a moment that he had shot Shinta.
"He's dead." Mai said, not looking at her uncle.
"Good riddance…he was useless anyway." Haru replied as he stepped past Ayako,
"How could you? He was your brother! He stayed with you all this time, and you killed him just like that! Why?" Mai cried as she looked up at her uncle, who looked down at her with a smirk,
"He was of no more use to me. If he doesn't obey me, I have no need for him." he replied before leaving, tears trickling down Mai's cheeks, but…he tried so hard…he did all this to please Haru, and this is what he got in return? It's not fair! Why does he get to go unpunished? Mai thought, gasping as she heard a car horn, screeching tyres and a gunshot. Mai got shakily to her feet and, with Lin's help, went to the window, looking down at the chaos outside. A sleek black car had hit Haru, its window had a bullet hole in the passenger's side, blood streaked the road where Haru laid, the gun about a foot away. Is he…dead? She wondered as Fai came to stand beside her,
"He won't come for you again Mai." He assured as he looked down unsmiling. Fai…you…did you? She wondered as she looked down again, seeing the ambulance arrive. John went down and guided them up. "Well, goodbye Mai, I hope you will come and visit from time to time." Fai said as he left, I really think he did. She thought as she watched Fai slip something into the black car's driver's hand before he got into a waiting limo.
