Jade Unveiled [Webtoon WIP]

Episode 11: The interruption

Takarazuka was now covered with a great and heavy storm. No one was able to leave their houses. Sometimes these types of storms would come by, this has become an unfortunate habit to the Japanese to always have light stuff in their houses. 

This was also a common belief from the Tanaka's. Don't own things that you can't take with you on an emergency. The Tanaka's were quite minimalistic and would ponder every object they would bring in their lives. 

In the meantime, soft light was burning in the Tanaka's house and Jade and Clara still sat at the Kotatsu. "You really think so?" he asks her.

"I just think it's so suspicious why he has sent me here, of all places, why here to you?" 

"Ok let's find out." He nods in conviction. "Let's bring my dad back."

Clara felt relieved to see his eyes clear up again. As if he had gained some confidence again. "That's the spirit." She makes a firm fist and presses her lips together.

Jade gives a little smile.

Professor Ventura was on the phone on the meantime, sending out some instructions. "So?! Tell me what you see!" He grunted. 

"It's hard to tell, they've closed everything around the house"

"Well try harder you buffoon! Can't you just go through the backdoor or something??"

"I'm doing the best I can!!!"

"So, you'll never guess... Here we were in Brighton, Gray had just ordered us two hotdogs and he handed me over one... A SEAGULL just flew over and STOLE HIS HOTDOG!" Jade tells her the story of their trip, bringing up fun happenings he secretly missed. "You should have seen him run!" 

Both were laughing with tears in their eyes from both laughter and nostalgia. The chuckling would then softly start to fade into silence. Clara's lips would curl up when she would show her soft smile to Jade. Her smile would create a cute dimple, her long hair was flipped to one side, showing her neck. He follows her outline with his eyes...

Jade moves closer and reaches for her hair. He lowers his hand gently to the back of her neck. His eyes studying her intensely. Clara blinked slowly and gave him a calm and endearing look.

He starts to caress her cheek as well as her chin with his rough hands, slowly bringing her face closer to him, leaning in. Their lips brush creating a spark. "We don't have to, if you don't want to." He said. 

His musky scent was addicting, her breath craved for him, she no longer was able to hold it together. She takes him by his shirt and nudged him down to the floor following with an intense kiss. The feeling of his body beneath her was titillating. Her long hair tingles his skin.

The kotatsu was still giving of heat and the room became unbearable. Their clothes were no longer needed considering the heat they both gave off to each other. Between their unbreakable kiss, she strips him from his shirt.

In turn as he removes her blouse her elegant figure creates sensual shadows from the soft candlelight that shone over her. She could feel his breath teasing her skin as he strikes a neck kiss. The roughness of his stubble and his soft lips were all she was aware off. 

Every press of his hands on her flanks would turn her world upside-down and the way he would hold her hair would make her lose control. He was strong and she had no willpower to resist to his commanding moves.

A sudden thud in the shed startled them and Jade's first reaction was to get up and grab the bat from the supply cabinet. "What was that?" he whispered.

Clara shakes her head unknowing. "Perhaps it's just the storm"

"I have to go and check,  I think someone's in the shed."

"Wait I'll come with." she scurries.

"No Clara, I think it's best if you'd stay here." 

Jade walks out the backdoor with the bat in his hands going straight for the shed. It's raining and he's in his bare torso ready to strike a hit anytime. The door to the shed is open by a crack. He sneaks a look through the crack trying to pry whether someone is inside but as soon as he gets closer to the door, it gives a sudden creak, startling the masked man who was inside.

His figure was the same as the dark figure he had tried to follow in the alleys. Clara walks to the backdoor in mere bra where she was able to both see Jade with the bat, as the masked man in the shed who had noticed her presence.

The man was rumbling through some stuff and everything was scattered in the shed.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Jade yells at him "WHAT D'YOU WANT FROM US? AND WHERE IS MY FATHER?!!" he threatens with his bat at the door, trying to make sure he wouldn't be able to leave.

The man stays quiet and smugly takes out his gun and points it towards Jade. He slowly walks to him and gives him a look from top to bottom. Jade drops the bat and shows the palms of his hands, the man gave a scoff and takes a look at Clara. He now pushes Jade out the door while aiming at his head and escapes. 

Jade was able to breath again after having held in his breath this whole time from the tension. Clara runs out to him still shaking in fear.

"Are you okay?!" she asks with a trembling voice.

"Yes..." he stands up and tries to lock the shed but to no avail. The lock was forced and there was no way of fixing this. He rests his arm on Clara. "Let's go back in." 

Once inside they were drying themselves up with some towels.

"It's him wasn't it? It was the same man who followed me from the library!" Clara points out. 

"I think so too... I think he left empty handed though. He might come back for whatever he is looking for..."
