บท 21: File 10: The Family Reunion
Class 3-E has gathered at the Beika Park. The two leaders are Verona Christine and Akakage Yukine.
Nagisa was quite shocked, and so are others, to see that the people protecting and escorting them to be two people so skinny.
"Um, Akakage-san and Verona-san... Are you sure you are going to protect us, and not us protecting you?" Hiroto Maehara asks.
"Don't worry. Once you get to the point of the start of this deadly journey, you will experience the darkest side of society and the definition of chaos. You will realise how out of scale this is, and you would not be able to lend a hand in these situations because... You're human, you die and you wouldn't rise again. We're different, we're not human at all. We now are your protectors and guardians, to get you to the front line without a scratch, and with that...
"We can die as many times as we want," Akakage says. The way he says out death so carelessly makes all the members of the Assassination Classroom shiver.
"Wh-why are you not scared of death? What do you mean 'die as many times as we want'?" Hanami Okuda asks.
"It meant that we won't die easily..." Verona replies in a sweet tone.
"Let's get started, Verona-san and Akakage-san! I can't wait!" Karma seems to be the only one excited about this.
"Karma, for further information, I shall tell you that you are facing an organisation that has professional assassins and cold-blooded killers. This organisation spreads to, who knows where the limits are? The only countries that they have been to, other than Japan are America and Britain. There are, from the info we know, two expert snipers and a cold killer with long silver hair. There will be assistance on the way, so don't get carried away. You will experience what it's like to be in a... I guess the frequency of bullet's right for this type of word, war." Verona states.
Karma shivers and goes silent.
"So, prepare yourself, guys. You're going to help us out, and to defend your lives as well." Akakage says.
They all walk in silence, trotting away to where they will be...
To Atsuko Chiharu (I realised how Japanese names are last name - first name form, so apparently Chiharu Atsuko is Atsuko Chiharu, which is quite awkward to say.)
Conan, being able to get the completed antidote, has been really excited when he returns into his original body. But little did he knows that some tragic things happened to the detective's love.
"Oi, what in Hades?" Chiharu got the message from Akira.
"What happened?" Conan asks.
"Ran-neechan, Sonoko-neechan, Kazuha-neechan and Aoko-neechan are kidnapped by the organisation."
"Wh-WHAT!?"
To Hattori Heiji
"WHAT!? WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY KAZUHA!?"
To Makoto Kyogoku
"SONOKO'S KIDNAPPED!? I NEED TO SAVE HER!!!"
To Kuroba Kaito
"AOKO'S KIDNAPPED!? BY WHOM?"
Back to Atsuko Chiharu
"Yep, they are all kidnapped. And we are going to save them."
Haibara sighs, "Kudo-kun, no rash actions."
And so he listened to Haibara...
No, he didn't.
Chiharu has a flash of light on her glasses; Katsuki's bangs cover her eyes with a smirk; Kazami smirks like a witch with the mischievous look. All of the members of the Sopra Group knows what's going to happen in this chapter, the next chapter, all to the end of the book, and maybe even the next book.
I personally like to torture the characters of my story.
Torture them near death and get back alive again.
Of course, the main protagonists are at large, and the antagonists are at the advantages. As you readers should all know, The B.O. has really weird and dumb members of the group, such as Vodka. In the case of strategies, BMR is a bit... smarter than Rum and the Boss... I don't know, maybe better, maybe not.
So the BMR fired at Shinichi, Hattori and Makoto. It's minor injuries for Makoto, two shots at Hattori the Hot Head, and one for Shinichi. The two detectives are all forced in bed.
"S**t, why didn't I protect her?!" Hattori mutters under his breath. Only the empty room hears his swears, no response at all.
That is if this room is empty.
"Hattori-san."
"E-EH!?"
"Hattori-san." Katsuki was with him the whole time from when he moved into this room, "You sure are an impatient one."
"How are you here, and when did you sneak into my room!?"
"I came in through the door."
"But how did I not notice?"
"Because you are paying so much attention towards your feelings?"
"Humph."
"Anyway, if you wanna get them back, you have to recover and fight for the final battle. Don't look so pathetic."
"Who's pathetic!"
"If you are to be like this in my family, you are labelled the most pathetic person."
"So what?! Have you never loved a person before?!"
"I have lost my emotions a long time ago. They were nowhere to be found until she came and saved me. I love her, and I will protect her with all my power."
"So you understand my feelings! Then why are you-"
"If you sit here and get all guilty and beaten up, you will never save your lover."
Silence.
"If you think that life is not fair, think about it again. Nothing is fair in the first place, in this dog eat dog world, this competitive world. If you don't get what you want, it's because you didn't give out 100% of your effort. I am sure you can muster much power than now. I was able to live, to live happily with my new family because I am giving out 100, or more than 100% of my effort to protect the ones I love. I have the power to do it, no matter what it takes.
"I am sure that Kazuha-san thinks that Hattori-san can find her and save her. Please don't make her hope a dream. That's it from me, the rest is up to you, Hattori-san."
The youngest Shizuko left the room.
The silence was left but still can feel the tension created by Katsuki.
Hattori now truly understands what Katsuki meant about this cruel world.
So what will he do?
What can he do now to save Kazuha?
To Kudo Shinichi
"Shinichi-niisan."
"Chiharu?"
"Yes."
"Wh-why couldn't I protect Ran?" Shinichi's shaking.
"You didn't protect her with the best effort you had. I think you can do better."
"But I thought-"
"That you did your best? Did you really think that way? I certainly believe that you can do better. Shinichi-niisan. You lost Ran-neechan because you didn't give it your best effort. You have to open your eyes, Meitantei-san. The world was never fair in the first place, death is not fair, life is not fair, the Fates are not fair. You can call that unfair, a million times and so on, it will still be the same: because you didn't give it your best effort. I can stand in front of you today without committing suicide is because I want to protect my family that died and friends that are around me now. I have this power to protect them because I am giving everything I've got. It takes the risk, but I will always give it a go. Because I know that if I don't do so, certainly my family will be falling apart in front of me before I know it.
"So detective, it's your choice to save or leave. Ran-neechan, I am sure, hasn't given up on you. I am sure she is wishing you right now to find her and save her. So make your choice wisely, Shinichi-niisan."
Chiharu walks out of Shinichi's room in silence.
To Kuroba Kaito
"Aoko's now kidnapped... What should I do?"
"Botchan..."
"Kuroba!"
"Rei?"
"S**t, you are one f**king hopeless boy."
"What?"
"I said, You are hopeless in finding mistakes."
"I couldn't protect Aoko-"
"That's not what I mean. Why can't you protect Aoko?"
"I don't know... Why?"
"Because you didn't give it all. Her father was still in his office when his daughter was kidnapped. He didn't give it his all when that time comes, though I have to admit such disasters happen often and life turns upside down and totally unfair to you lot at this point; but now he is giving his all trying to search for his daughter. You should do it, too. I am able to exist right now because I want to protect my brother. I will do whatever it takes to do so. And now you have two choices. Either stay here, all guilty and all or give it all you've got to find her.
"I believe that Nakamori-san hasn't lost hope in you finding her."
Rei left to hear the latest news from Chiharu, leaving Kaito and Jii behind in Blue Pirot.
What will they do?
To Akabane Kazami
"Should I keep an eye on Makoto-san?"
"No, he's got through. He'll be fine, just guide him to the others once they decided on save or not to save so that they can unite and find the girls eventually. E class and we are on our way."
"Thank you, Akakage-san."
"It's nothing, tell Chiharu and Katsuki, too. If they are together, then tell them that they are going to receive a phone call from the enemy."
"Okay."

So what's up, guys?
I find this chapter I wrote quite emotional. Do you?
The Family of Sopra is meeting together. What will happen next?
