Chapter 15

Sihai; excuse me, who are you?

Itona; Did, you forget me already? You're Greg's ex fiancé are you not?

Sihai; oh, I see, you're…

Itona; that's right, Hamura Shoto, the man you had Greg kill, is my father.

Sihai; so, what are you here for?

Itona; simple, I want to know, why did my father have to die?

Sihai; I needed to know the extent of Hamato's devotion to the clan.

Itona; oh I see, so you were just testing out the extent to which you could control people, I see now.

Sihai; are you surprised? I've been intoxicated with power ever since I 1st had it. I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest and I wanted more of it.

Itona; at my father's expense?

Sihai; I honestly had no use for him, anything that isn't of use is just fair game, it's how I see it.

Itona; alright, that's all I needed to hear.

Then, Itona's white hair became flames and fire seemed to be coming come his eyes. To the side of his face. 

I won't end this quickly

Sihai then tried to attack him, but he grabbed her by the neck and said,

Ignite

Instantly setting her ablaze. In her last few moments, Sihai laughed and said to Itona, "enjoy your pitiful life, I'll see you again in hell soon." Then, the colour of the flames changed from yellow to blue as the heat magnified, and leaving nothing but ashes behind. 

Itona, almost completely naked; guess I'll see you in hell, you fucking bitch.

Meanwhile at the edge of the estate…

Bachira; everything's done, finally, 

A few days ago…

Itona; well now, since I've been played for a fool these past 2 months, I guess a deal is in order.

Bachira; agreed.

Itona; the deal is, I kill Sihai myself, allowing you and your sister to escape, and in return you stay away from us.

Bachira; *as much as I want to deal the final blow myself, I have to get Maya out of there as fast as possible, so I can't refuse. * Fine then, for the time being, I'll stay out of your business.

Itona; I'll take it.

*flashback*

Akari; Hey Bachira, what do you want to do if you're ever out of this place?

Bachira; I want to be with you forever Aka-Chan!

Akari; aw, don't say that you'll make me blush! 

Bachira; seriously, there isn't a single person alive I want to be with more.

Akari; Aw, come here, don't worry, no matter what happens, no matter what the situation may be, what you become or what you do, I will always be with you and will always love you.

And on top of that shed, taking his final look at the Tsukuyomi estate sunset, felt nothing but a slight sense of relief as tears began to form in his eyes.

Maya; Bachi, so what do we do with her now?

Then Bachira looked at Rose and said, "do whatever you want, I don't need your presence anymore" 

Rose simply just stared at him, unable to talk…

Bachira; I see; I'll just make this easier then.

SLASH!

Jerry; you did well Noah.

Noah; it was nothing to be honest.

Jerry; no, no, if you weren't out there none of this would have even been possible. Thanks man.

Choki; we've rounded up all the assassins in the estate sir.

Jerry; good. Law enforcement and the media will handle the rest.

Kongou; Secret leader, we found documents, leads and files in a store house at the edge of the estate, there's a mountain of evidence to end the assassins for good.

Jerry; seems too convenient.

Choki; someone must have anticipated this and planted the evidence we needed, either way, it works perfectly in our favour.

Bachira; I've finally succeeded, with any luck, they'll find the evidence I planted, and my revenge against this clan will be complete.

Maya; so Bachi, where do we go next?

Bachira; I have a few options, but for now. We should just get going.

A few minutes later…

Greg, who was at the base beneath the main building; I guess everything is settled, my life's goal is complete. *I hope Sihai is on her way here*.

Itona; about time I'd say.

Greg; what are you doing?

Itona; Sihai is dead, and you're about to join her.

Greg; then I guess my life's goal is almost complete and the one thing I had to lose is already dead. So now I suppose you're here to complete my goal?

Itona, while aiming a gun at Greg; yes, I'll end you swiftly now.

Greg, smiling; Excellent, I hope your father is as proud of you now as I am of you.

*BANG* 

Tom was atop the roof of the plaza observing the sunset, until…

*Ring…

Itona; Hey Tom, you should probably look at this.

A few minutes later in front of the shed…

Tom, completely devastated; ROSE!

He then grabbed her, and to his luck, she was still alive, but barely.

Tom; Itona! We need to take her to the estate as soon as possible! 

Itona; that's at least 4 hours away from here, she won't make it.

Tom; then let's take him to brother, he's fast enough right?

Itona; sure then.

A few hours later, Rose was admitted to the Ga-den hospital, one of the best in the entire nation. While Tom sat outside her ward with the doctor and Itona, while Jerry ran back to observe what was going on at Tsukuyomi.

Tom; will she be OK doc?

Doctor; She was deeply slashed in the back it's hard to say as of now, but only time will tell.

Tom; thanks anyway.

Itona; I guess she made the wrong choice then.

Tom; I guess. However, even if she doesn't make it, as long as she has no regrets, I guess I can live with letting her go, at least if that's what she wanted.

Itona; alright then.

Back at the estate…

Kongou; Secret leader, law enforcement has arrived, we'll deal with them, you may leave now.

Jerry; all right then.

Then Jerry quickly ran from the estate, and teleported Noah afterward. Kongou, and the rest of the fighters joined the guests as they dealt with law enforcement, explaining the situation. Overnight, this would all become international news, the Tsukuyomi clan lost their stockholders, CEO's and any chance of doing business ever again, they were in a state of total ruin. All identified assassins where arrested and non-assassins we're left to fend for themselves, no business, no money. The Ga-den clan took all credit for exposing the Deeds of the assassins as well as rescuing the kidnapped children. They were acknowledged as heroes and would gain immensely from it.

It has been two weeks since the raid on the Tsukuyomi's and yet, there are things that happened in a very short time, that would affect us for the rest of our lives.

Jerry was in the kitchen looking at the utensils however, he had a depressing look on his face

Jerry; *I thought doing this would clear my mind like it always does, but all it does is remind me of her- 

mom*

Tom; Hey, Sanji is something wrong? Oh, right, I just remembered, mom was the reason you cook in the 1st place.

Jerry; whenever I had something on my mind I would cook and it would remind me of her. And now it reminds me of her!

Tom; let's not think about her right now Jerry. Let me help you.

And so then Tom tried to help Jerry cook, but then kept ruining everything so Jerry kicked him out of the kitchen, but that was the push he needed to make one of his favourite dishes. Is was simple rice with curry, but it was better than any fine dining establishment in all of Tokyo. 

 Tom after tasting the food; *it feels like, I'm floating on air in a quiet field, next to a peaceful stream, where everything good in the world fuses together as one*

Tom, almost shedding tears; Now that's it! That's the stuff! It's like I can feel what you were feeling in the food, and I like it!

Jerry; yeah, mom may be a horrible person, but I just can't hate her, not after all she did those years ago. That's why I remembered what I felt those days when I cooked.

Tom, whose mood just changed; you know what, I actually fell the same. Mom was good to the both of us, but I still wanted her to love me genuinely, I wish I was her son.

Jerry; you don't need to wish for anything bro, you're good just how you are.

Tom; I still can't forgive her, not after everything, and I doubt I ever will.

Jerry; I feel you man, Brothers?

Tom; Brothers always.

Let's here Dave and Sammy out at least.

Jerry; when the time is right, I'm not ready just yet.

Tom; agreed.

Elsewhere…

Erica; and so another prediction comes to pass, just as I anticipated, and yet, the worst is soon to come, isn't it, David, and I see you brought Sammaru as well, this is one interesting reunion…

Later that night, Jerry was walking through the street, and passed through a vacant alleyway…

Jerry; alright, I came, so what do you want?

Bachira, who just revealed himself; so bold, I just wanted to meet you.

Jerry; the pleasure's all mine, now I don't think you called me out here to get my autograph did you?

Bachira; I did not, this is a warning, don't interfere with my me, I will kill Soma no matter what.

Jerry; oh, now I know you, you're the guy Tom talked about, listen I get your beef an all, but I just can't stand by and watch you murder my father.

Bachira; how unfortunate.

At that moment, Jerry felt a dark presence behind him, he then dodged instinctively, and then looked around just to see, that no one was there. 

Bachira, who hadn't moved; what's wrong? Afraid of your own shadow?

Then Jerry rushed to attack him, but ounce he did so, his hand went through him, and his body dissolved into black fog.

Bachira;

Consider this, a declaration of war.
