Chapter.. 6 (A Reason to live)

2 days later,

  Yoshioka standing with Ping watching Hori from the other side of the street walking towards her home

“That’s her! The Byakko’s new toy. You’ve to punish him Ping, that b*****d He killed My Kitani”

 The blond gangster looked to her “I never thought that a b***h like you would reach this level, Are you really that Jealous?”

“Yes, I’m Jealous. You too are taking this so personally. Is it because they ditched you... at that operation”

“Tsk, That Kitani... always blabbing around with his mouth” Ping looked to his side  “Ryu, get her”

“Hai”=(okay)

 

  Ryu & Yoshioka tailed the girl to a narrow alley just to see Hori is standing behind Toru “...Toru-san!!”  Ryu gasped

“Ryu-kun!  What a surprise? How’ve you been?”

“You disgust me talking very, very nice! Since we took in that boy, you’ve changed”

“No, it’s all thanks to him”

“Just get them already” Yoshioka shouted.. Ryu signalled to his gang, -around 20 thugs were standing behind him

Toru leant to his left-side “Dear, Tell Miyamura. PING in Town”

“What about you?”

“I’m fine.. Go” Toru slightly pushed the girl -to run away from the other side of the alley- while facing the gang.. 

  Toru stood on his toes “Wow, All of you just for me. Oh, you make me blush...” then He shouted in anger “Ryu, Just leave while you can. Before I get mad”

“I always know the mad dog Toru Who can kill from one bite but do the maths; you can’t beat all of us. Get him” Ryu shouted...

“You’re still naive as always, look around you”

  Ryu looked around to see himself and his gang trapped in a narrow alley which they can’t all gang up on Toru

Toru walked to them slowly muttering “That won’t take long. Who’s first?”

“Arrgghhh” -Men’s shouts-

 

  (KNOCK KNOCK)

Miyamura opened his door to see Hori is out of breath huffing “Ping.. in town”

“Huh!!”

“Ping in town, He sent his men after Toru-san. You have to help him”

Miyamura’s eyes widened as he just accepted her words he went dramatically fast, packaged his clothes went out grabbing Hori on his way but she shouted “where are we going?”

“Hiding, That’s what we do”

“But Toru!!”

“Toru is a monster of his own. He is on another murderous League, Levels above me, above everyone”

“What is he?”

“He is The Tengu, when He goes Mad, None can stop him. What should I do now is to hide & He will find me later”

 Hori stopped him from running saying loudly in the street “Till when you have to face them. That’s what Toru meant, that’s what I want”

“What is your business with me?”

She got very angry & shouted very hard while crying 

“Cuz I care about you, Cuz I love you, Cuz It hurts me most when I see you like that. Cuz... cuz” she got tired holding her chest in pain.

Miyamura held her strongly and grabbed her to a small corner in the street looked in her eyes

“Do you want me to fight even it ended by killing one of us?!”

“You are strong”

“I can’t believe in myself..”

“So Believe In Me Who Believes In you”

He looked in her eyes and leant forward slowly, Hori clenched her hands strongly & closed her eyes... then she felt his lips kissing hers. She looked straight into his eyes to hear him “Wait a little longer”

 

 Then he went to meet Ping at an old square in the old skirts of Shibuya

Hori standing from a high place looking at Miyamura shouting

“What is it you want, Ping?”

“It’s The Serpent. Even you all discarded your past, I won’t”

“Why don’t you leave me? Have you give it a thought Ping. Would all of us still be like that If we just stopped this mess. I tried... It’s nice going to school, having fun in karaoke, playing around kids, meeting someone special. That’s what I really want”

“Of course I tried but It never worked, this world isn’t that nice like you think, It’s like a grit of hell. You’ve to suffer in it & I’ll make sure you suffer, like my brother Kitani whom you did”

“Don’t do it, Ping”

“I SAID MY NAME IS SERPENT, release Beast”

  A cage was set up, Miyamura had to fight a fierce fighter who is double his weight and taller than him

 The fight began and Miyamura have been dodging his opponent’s hits only Hori is looking in fear while Toru just came with Ishikawa -who helped him a little

“Toru-san!!” Hori gasped “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I had some help”.... Ping came near him. Both men and the girl are watching the fight from a high place having their conversation Ping said

“Long time no see,... Tengu”

“Call me what you want, I’m Toru”

“He will lose, he has been running away”

“It’s seems, that you forgot how the Byakko Fights”

Hori looked to him questioning.

Toru continued “He first measures his opponent’s strength then the real fight begins”

“Of course I remember, After all It was me who introduced him to you But You Vanished & I had to lead the gang... But Beast always wins”

“Miyamura doesn’t lose”

  (Ohh) People applause as Beast kicked the Byakko hard in the face which led to heavy bleeding. Hori gasped “Miyamura!”

 Beast roared like mad animal...Ping continued

“Beast is no ordinary man, When He takes his medics. He.. transforms”

Toru looked to him surprised “No way, For this low you’ve Sunk?”

“I told you I will do anything just to break you both”

“That’s not the way we operate the fights , Ping”

“My name is Serpent” Ping shouted in anger

 Hori went down near the cage to see Beast is holding Miyamura tensely about to break his arm,

Miyamura is screaming from pain with face full of cuts. She shouted to Toru  “Make them Stop, Make them stop” She stood near the cage crying agonizingly

Miyamura glimpsed her and fainted for a min in his opponent’s lock

 In this min. He remembered his days with his mother when he couldn’t protect her. He wished to be there for her.

Miyamura snapped insanely “I can’t die here, I have to return back, I made a promise... I want to fulfil it” He turned aggressively in his opponent’s lock to break his own arm just to get free. He turned 180 degree crashed beast’s face with the back of his left fist then He sat on him punching his face deadly with his left muttering 

“I decided to Be the Villain to protect those Whom I love”

 Toru began shouting “stop him, before he kills him” He ran down to the cage while Ping is laughing madly “That’s right, return to tour old self, Byakko. That’s what I came for, turning a man into a 

monster”

 But suddenly Hori screamed strongly “MIYAAAMUURAAAAA”

Miyamura turned to her with firing eyes & Pale face stained with blood

She reached her hand through the cage bars calling  

“I knew you can’t go back and change the past, But You can look to the future without making the same mistakes, That’s why It’s called the past to learn from it.. & Remember Our Ticket to the Future is always Blank”

 

  Miyamura stood holding his broken arm leaving the hurt Beast on the ground. But Beast muttered “I can’t lose...” brought up a knife from hidden spot in the cage and ran -shouting- to kill Miyamura. But Miyamura barely dodged him. Switching his position and snatched the knife from him and was about to deliver the fatal stab But he glared at beast “I won; Cuz I’m strong So whenever You wanna fight again, I welcome you anytime”

 Miyamura walked outta the cage, Toru looked to Ping from down moving his lips as he was telling him something

Ping realized his words {Do you remember the real Byakko, He fight to state his strength, not to murder someone. That’s why we admired that Shounen}

Ping sighted in defeat

Miyamura looked to Hori smiling “I’m back”

She replied crying “From now on, you’ve to show me your real smile”

“Don’t worry; there will be more to be shown from now on”

Ping walked to the hurt Tiger “You changed so much after you met her”

“No, I didn’t change because I met her... But I was able to meet her because I changed” 😏
