Said And Done

Chapter 7: Hunter Ensnared

"Wake up. It's very disrespectful to keep a higher up waiting." The voice said, as he opened his eyes and was greeted to Momoru.

"Momoru. What are you doing here?"

"I'm hiring you. The last guy I hired got his ass beat, so it's your turn. Tsuyo, your goon, was humiliated by this kid. You're job is to kill him. In return, you and I coincide as Kyodais to the lower ranks. " Momoru said, as he slid Sadao a picture. 

A picture of Kamaye.

In present time..

"Why am I wanted by the Yamagashi?" I questioned, as Fuben answered.

"Cuz you beat up Tsuyo, the goon. You embarrassed the whole family by beating their top of the list prize fighter." Fuben asked, as I slammed my fist into the table.

"BUT WHY?! Why was he sent after me in the first place?!" 

"Be.. Because.. eugh..." 
Fuben fell asleep, as me and Shizuka look over at Fruity, with a tube in his hand.

"Really?"
"Hey, I'm in pain too! And besides, he told me he wasn't too high of a rank either. He wouldn't have known." Fruity said, as he sat up from his bed.

"Still hurts like hell.. but Kamaye, you have to go to Minka house soon. It's a trap, but if he hurts Shizuka, we're both screwed." He says, as Shizuka gives him the painkiller tube.

"Well.. ok. I'll go in a bit. But what about you?"
"I'll keep Shizuka here. Now get going!" He said, as he pushed me out the door with his leg.

As I left the hospital, I had time to prepare for the fight at hand. I walked to a nearby pawn shop, as I opened the door, I was welcomed to a bunch of useless junk. As I checked my wallet, I still had some money Rhed lent to me a few days ago, so I decided to buy something. All he had of use was a bottle of hard liquor with a cork closing it, an autobiography, and a rusted kitchen knife. All together, all the items costed less than 1,000 yen.

As I walked out, the sun was already beginning to set, so I began to run for the Minka house. As I was running, I saw it in the distance, with lights flashing and spotlights hitting the clouds. I gulped and kept running, as the sun hit my eyes. As I looked over at the sun, I realized what I was fighting for. I had everything to lose, and so I'll fight like it's my last day on earth. 

As I arrived on the doorstep, I made preparations. I stuffed the bottle into my jacket, and hit the knife in my pants. Once I was ready, I remembered that the entire house might be trapped, so I ran and kicked the door down. 

As I did, I saw the floors were.. completely normal tatami mats. As I walked inside and looked around, I saw.. nothing out of the ordinary. I stood in front of a long hallway with pillars to my right and left, all leading up to a staircase up to the second floor. As I walked forward, I felt something snap, as I looked down. I felt my right leg fall, as I fell with it. 

Instinctively, I grabbed the ledge and pulled myself it. I looked down to see water, but something's off. The ledge is too high up to see, and there weren't any lights there either. But now I know, some of the Tatami Mats are trapped to fall. As I stood up, I saw 4 guys run out, along with one at the very top. The one at the top of the stairs had a white suit on, with a white tie and a black button up. He was wearing gloves, while the others had regular black and white suits. 

As they ran toward me, they ran in an odd pattern. It was a snake of sorts, but I couldn't remember, because I realized something. They were being cautious not to fall into the traps themselves, while still trying to fight me. As one came up to me to fight, I kicked his ribcage. As he was stunned, I threw him into the Mats next to us. As he laid there, everyone stared with baited breath. 

He stood up and as he did, the mat fell under him, as he fell into the water. Everyone just stared, as one began backing up. As I ran toward the other one, I tripped and fell on another mat. I was hanging by my upper body, as I looked down. Down this one was a small light. As I looked a little closer.. it was a fire. A RAGING fire. Because I tripped on it, I exposed it to more oxygen, as the fire grew bigger and bigger. As I pulled myself up, one of the men ran toward me. I looked at him, as the man at the top looked at us. 

I stared at him, so melancholic and dead faced. His face told me all I needed to know, he was Sadao. 

Then he went back and pulled something, a switch I think. As I looked back at the man, I noticed something in the corner of my eye. 
It was a ball. As it came out of the darkness, it was a gigantic wooden ball, swinging straight for me and the man running toward me.

I back up and fell into ANOTHER hole, as I lost my grip and fell. 

Luckily, the hole didn't have anything in it, and it was more of a hiding hole. I guess it was for the yakuza guys. As I jumped and vaulted the wall, I saw the man running at me nowhere to be found, but the last two cowering and fearing. As they ran back, I heard another switch flip. As I look to my left and right just to be sure, there wasn't anything beside me. But the men began to freak out, as Sadao walked toward his ledge, watching us.

"CALL OFF THE TRAPS!"
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, SADAO?!"  They said, as Sadao watched, his stare unbroken.

As I ran up to them, I looked over to the left.

It was spears, as long and thin as a fishing rod. They were launched, as the men began to cower.

As it hit them, I realized I was in range as well. I managed to jump onto the stable mats, but they couldn't. They bled onto Sadao, who's face was covered in their blood. As their bodies fell onto the unstable mats, I looked down at myself.

I noticed a spear in my chest.
