Bab 17: Hard Truth
Dragging up on the stairs Akagi exhausted by carrying Fumihiro by his shoulder when they reached his floor.
Fumihiro wakes up and Akagi carry him by the shoulder, when outside Kishino Fumihiro wears tie less bottom less fade black blazer and pants with one bottom open white shirt inside.
"What the fuck you doing?"
he immediately removed Akagi's hands and went away "You're trying to be goody good"
Akagi frowned "What! You're the one who jumped in front of me; trying to suicide or what? Besides, you gave your home address dumbass"
Fumihiro furiously shouts "What the fuck did you say, you four eyes bastard!"
Suddenly Fumihiro's door open, a ten or nine years old little girl with long open fade red-haired, round golden eyes sitting on an electrical wheelchair comes from the door
"Big brother, what's about?"
Fumihiro quickly runs to attend her "Yugiri why do you come out here?"
Akagi thought looking at the girl "His sister, why she sitting on a wheel chair, something happened to her?"
"Who's that? Your friend" she pointed out to Akagi.
Fumihiro sighs, "Yes he's a friend, oi!" he looked at Akagi "Come on in"
Akagi entered his house and saw a small poor three rooms flat enough for two people, two of them are living alone it is seems.
"You must be tired Yugiri have some sleep" Fumihiro lift her sister Yugiri up get her into bed "here you go sleep for a while" he puts a blanket on and speak to Akagi "You! You need to talk, come outside" he politely say to her "I will be back ok" he took Akagi outside.
On their balcony, Fumihiro explained the situation to him while he is leaning on wooden made boundaries "I lived with my sister Yugiri for 5 years. She's ripple from an accident I don't want you to know, she's always stayed home, sleeping, watching TV or something I take her to a park" he puts his hand on the boundary. "Anyway I start studying in the MRC' for last two year faked my documents and VC level for a high price. we needed money, a place to stay, those things are all taken care of by someone, my life was going perfectly, suddenly Johnny found out that I am a Mutant and my paper are phony, he started to blackmail me for money, you know Johnny right? That fat motherfucker that I killed in front of you on the rooftop, my life is filled with misfortune"
Akagi questioned Fumihiro "How did you know my name?"
"You asked about you in your class, after we meet" Fumihiro answered,
Akagi sighed "Why you with MRC in first place? You know the institute is quite troubling, when I enters I run straight to the lab"
Fumihiro questioned back "Then why you here? Don't tell that bullshit you were told me when we were at the rooftop, I just wants to study, gain more knowledge and experience about the world, like every human has the privilege"
Akagi widen his eyebrows in surprise but still confess in some matters "That was not a bullshit, I was serious that time"
Fumihiro frowned again "Do you expect to believe even you're a Mutant you can just pass out from the college and get a doctorate degree?"
Akagi gets annoyed but he thoroughly explains to Fumihiro "What do you think am I an idiot or dumb.
I know that's risky but I got everything lined up, When I administrated I was a normal human I got through all the documents files and identification process, when I was got infected I also checked the genetics students future program database, there won't be any VC scanning any near future".
He confidently say "If I just keep my head down, finishing all in my report in time attending all my exams, I will not blow my cover" he chuckles "Beside many instructors know me as a very excellent student they will never suspect me as Mutant, when I get my degree I will be an official Genetics scientist. I get many offers from international research companies I accept one of those offers and gets out of the country with my family very easily".
Akagi narrow his eyebrows "Now if you still interested to my future plans, well..." He scathing his head "Well, if you get an offer in Europe, I will particularly choose Italy, if I extremely lucky to choose which city, I'll definitely choose Venice, it very beautiful city, in there I'll find a nice girl settle down, grow a family in Venice". He puts his fingers on his chin "I've always dream about going to Venice" he little blushes "With my future wife of course" there is so many places to visit, for starters there is St. Mark's square, St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, Grand Canal I could go on"
At the same time, he thinking "All these efforts I'm doing just to keep my mother and brother happy and safe"
"That's all, hmm? That's you want to ramble about". Fumihiro anger yells at Akagi "How can you so selfish and irresponsible. Open your god damn eyes and see, Mutants are killed right in the open, Humans considered us as Infected creatures, not deserve to live".
He violently grabbed Akagi's collar "Snap out of your fantasy and see, the world is filled greedy and amoral people, the city where people knows they going to be fucked, just pretend they don't know and see anything, everyone has a value or something they wished to protect". He looked at the ground "How can you only thought about yourself" he punched Akagi's cheek very hard and shouts "ANSWER ME YOU FUCKING DICKHEAD!"
Akagi was speechless has nothing to say to him, seeing that Fumihiro calms down a bit,
He exhales and warns Akagi "Looks like we're going out from topic, listen well Shinsuke we are in grave danger, he's coming to get us"
Akagi bugs out and quickly asked him "Who, Who's coming and why?"
Fumihiro hesitates "Mitsumasa, Tomita. That Psycho attacked me when I was returning home. He came out of nowhere, throw his Noryoku around, I barely survived, and I jumped building to building for got away. Unfortunately I slipped from edge and fell down, for that got some injuries but it will heal and while I was running, also I heard many times of your name and mine, from his mouth telling something like we're going to be his another collection". Tomita Mitsumasa same man who sold Akagi into the Hexagon Maze,
Akagi gets back up looked outside in the setting sun "What is he want from me it's no surprise he won't leave me alone so easily, what he after?"
A sudden voice coming up from the stairs "What you boys doing in here It's evening already" a young woman with black hair her bangs parted to the sides, with more on the right side of her forehead and covering most of her right brow. She has large, kind teal eyes, lined with long lashes. She has relatively pale skin and a black beauty mark under her left eye. She is wearing a Nun outfit and a cross chain across her neck.
When she reached to their floor holding some plastic bags,
"Miss Cécile, you're back," Fumihiro asked
Cécile smiles "Yes, and I got some food from the church, you can have it" she handed the bag of food
"That's unnecessary but Thank you miss Cécile" Fumihiro prised her
She politely said to Fumihiro "There's no need to thank me, it just a free gift, its chocolates inside, Yugiri-Chan loves chocolate right?"
Fumihiro smiles "Yeah, she does, well I'm glad you here, now I can have some rest now" he opened the door and grazing Akagi "If you don't have business then get the fuck out of here" *Dang* he closed the door.
Akagi Frowned but in same time he feels sorry,
Cécile comes closer to Akagi "He's attitude is not by choice"
Akagi looked at her "What do you mean?"
Cécile replied, "You're his friend right, you must be a Mutant" she hesitantly told Akagi "I works as a sister near the church, and caretaker for those adorable children". Akagi was shocked when he heard that,
He concerns and asked "If you're a human, aren't you afraid from them? If the Imperium found out you be big trouble"
Cécile chuckles "Why should I? They are just children, Mutants or not, God treats all beings equally, It will protect us from all evil spirits and... I heard your conversations, I'm sorry for Kishino-Chan's behaviour, he's good boy but he had a tough childhood that's all"
Akagi asked, "What happened to them?"
Cécile gravely speaks "They came from a wealthy family, as their parents were successful financial day traders. They were living a healthy lifestyle in a big mansion, but one day some of their jealous colleagues complained about them, claiming they conspired with the rebel Organisation, thus, the soldier burned their house down, Kishino and Yugiri has survived but their parents not so fortunate he lost his parents in the fire and his sister's legs. She became a crippled" she holds her cross near her mouth whispers "God, rest their souls"
Knowing Fumihiro's past Akagi has no words, he takes a leave from Cécile and he went home quietly.
....
On a big Mansion, Tomita Mitsumasa sitting on a rolling chair "hmm..." he closed his eyes put a finger on his forehead thinking very thoughtfully "What should I do? I failed to kill Fumihiro, Kishino and Shinsuke, Akagi still lives" he lifts his head speaking aloud "How could I live up with the legend Chasepick Ripper, letting one of my victim escaped"
*Tin-rin* text notification arrived in his phone when Tomita looked at the phone,
An idea struck "That's it! How should I thought it before" He excitingly gets up from the chair, and removes sheets from a chipboard "I don't need to kill them separately, I just need to kill them both in one place, like hitting two birds in a one stone".
The clipboard filled with photographs of Akagi and Fumihiro, he got every info from those photos, and the text photos is something that he can easily lure them.
He maniacally giggles looking at the pictures "Hehe hehe... I just got a bait for that"
...
On Akagi's apartment, he laying on his bed staring on the ceiling thinking about Cécile and Fumihiro's incident
"Strange, even Cécile is a human, she still wants to help those two, and about Fumihiro and his sister, they're just survivors, Mutants living in the cruel Tokyo city, I wish I could give something to make them happy, after I rambled about my personal dreams".
*PikiPik,Pik* a text message from his phone,
"Who could be in this hour?" he asked himself. When he saw the text, he got up from his bed, the text was sent by a blocked number, giving a location of a closed Steel Mill near the border between yellow and brown zone, Akagi didn't realised who sent this message.
"Who could sent this message? What's the meaning of this, text contains only the location and time, no name, no number".
The door knocked very quickly, Akagi was frightened to hear such a banging sound from his door. Akagi went to answer the door.
