My Sunshine

Haru's Last Stand - Haru

"I didn't really get to enjoy the autumn last year. I was still trying to put my life back together."

"Well, this is your year to enjoy it.  I can tell you about the different foliage-"

They turned the corner in Senju Park and Haru wasn't sure for a moment if this was real life or a nightmare.  There were two figures in the shadows of the trees on the path in front of them.

"Who is that?"

She felt her blood run cold.  They strangers stepped forward and it was unmistakable.

"It's Ryujin. And his thug, Migo."

"Migo, kill the blonde one."

Migo rushed at Ino, who took him head on.  Haru could hear them becoming distant behind her.  Migo was leading Ino away from her.  Ryujin was making sure they were separated.  But, she could hear Ino's voice, confident as ever.

"I've got this loser! You take care of that asshole!"

Ryujin stood before her, sneering. It was just the two of them now. She was sure that someone would find them soon. Although the park looked deserted, there were always people milling about. But could she hold Ryujin off until help arrived?

"What are you wearing? You look like a cheap whore."

She was finally freed of the heavy, musty kimonos she was forced to wear on the island. Today, she had her favorite yellow short dress on.  He was trying to break her down, but it wasn;t going to work anymore.

"What do you want?"

He laughed maniacally.

"Really? I came back to collect you and take you home, you fucking idiot. You should've come home after these people wasted their time and resources on saving you. Now I'm not going to tell you again: let's go."

"I'm not letting you, or anyone, rape me again."

"Don't act like you don't like it, you slut.  You're disgusting, but you still get the bills paid.  And I can see it in your eyes when a stranger is fucking you, you love it.  You scream and your eyes roll up into your head-"

"I'm screaming because I'm having my organs rearranged by some bastard because you are too much of a coward to deal with your creditors."

He looked a little taken aback.  She had never spoken to him like this before.  Then, she saw that dark look in his eyes.  The one she would see before he would beat the shit out of her.

"If you piss me off, I'll kill you.  Being disrespected by a filthy, disfigured whore isn;t going to happen.  I will fucking kill you this time.  I will make sure I rip your head from your body and take it as a trophy."

She wanted to rip into him some more, but there was one question she had to know the answer to:

"How did you even know I was alive?"

"Word spreads. A very scarred woman had appeared in the Hidden Leaf. I knew it was you. They must've wasted a lot of time working on you to keep you alive. Of course, you will be punished for not returning home. Migo said that he missed that disfigured cunt of yours."

"I am home-"

"You are a piece of property! Your home is wherever I say it is! You should be glad that this shit hole village even bothered with you! You're horribly scarred and disfigured, and your asshole is probably a gaping hole by now! How many times have you been passed around this village, you whore? I bet you're so full of cum-"
