Soukoku Mini Stories

Cabin Fever. (Story 41)

"You wanted to see us?" Dazai and Chuya entered Mori's large dark office, Mori was sitting behind his desk playing with his blade. "I have a mission for you both." "What!? Do I have to work with this shrimp again? Mori! Your killing me!" Dazai groaned jokingly, Chuya hissed clenching his fist, "You asshole!" "Enough." Mori stood up from behind his desk walking over to his wall of windows, "You two have an extraordinary partnership complementing each other's abilities in battle. For this mission, we will need that partnership." "What's the mission boss?" Dazai asked, "A small gifted organization going around Yokohama murdering government officials. There have been four murders in the past two days."

Chuya and Dazai looked at each other, the mission was serious and they realized the impact. "We have their whereabouts, you two will need to have a stakeout and stalk their area then take them down." Mori handed Dazai a photograph, "The location is on the back of this photo. Their hideout is in the middle of nowhere, and you two will most likely need camping materials. You can get these materials on the third floor." "Got it. We'll be on our way then." Dazai said, Chuya following behind him soon leaving Mori by himself. He sighed and placed his hand on one of the windows in his large office, "I have faith in their partnership, faith in 'Double-Black.'"

The summer sun was beating down in Yokohama, Dazai, and Chuya were carrying camping items over to a grassy field area, nearby was an abandoned gas station, the gifted organization's hideout spot. Chuya set up a small tent for both him and Dazai to share. "Hey, Chuu!" "What?" Chuya hissed as he finally finished up setting the tent, he wiped sweat glands off his forehead. "I brought marshmallows, chocolate, and gram crackers! You know what that makes right? Hehe," Dazai smirked, "Uh, s'mores right? Why'd you bring that?" "Because we're camping, duh!" "Yeah, but we're on a mission." "Who cares! S'mores are delicious." Dazai put the s'more items in their tent saving them for later. Chuya sat down next to Dazai, they both were watching the gas station for any movement.

It was silent for a few moments before Chuya spoke up, "Dazai." "Yeah what's up?" Dazai turned his head to face his partner, "You brought dinner right?" "Of course, what kind of partner would I be if I forgot to bring dinner." "S'mores are not dinner." Chuya glared at him, Dazai chuckled, "I made us some quick shrimp boil foil packets." Chuya went silent and just stared at his partner, "Seriously? You cooked dinner for us?" "Duh, it was easy to make. Are you hungry?" "Yeah." Dazai grabbed one of the foil packets handing it to Chuya, he unwrapped it and ate the shrimp boil foil packet.

Eventually, the sun started to set creating a pastel artwork in the sky. Dazai was eating his shrimp dinner as Chuya was on lookout duty. "Did Mori lie to us or something? Because there is no movement at all over here, it is lifeless." Chuya groaned and fell over on the grass. Dazai finished his dinner and lay next to Chuya. "Mori wouldn't lie about something like this. Maybe, the organization is out killing right now." Chuya shrugged and stared at the sunset, Dazai looked at his partner, he could feel the sense of Chuya giving up on the mission.

Stars started twinkling in the sky, the sunset faded away and the sky was now engulfed in darkness. Dazai started a small fire for them both. "Hey Chibi, I got an idea." Chuya leaned back, "What now?" "Let's tell scary stories." Chuya laughed hearing his idea, "Are you serious?" "Yeah! And I'll go first." Dazai winked and started telling a scary Red Room Curse story. The moon revealed itself in the sky shining down in Yokohama, "And, she was never seen again." Dazai finished up his second scary story. Chuya took a bite from the s'more he made, "Wow, you almost spooked me there." "Hehe, it's your turn!" "Uh okay let me think..."

A couple of motorcycles pulled up to the abandoned gas station catching Chuya and Dazai's attention. Both the boys hid in the grass watching the members of the gifted organization by the gas station. "What's our plan Dazai?" Dazai was silent for a moment before speaking. "You will be the decoy, then use your ability to knock them all out." Chuya nodded memorizing the plan, "What about you?" "You'll see." Dazai smiled, "Go on Chuu." Chuya got up and started walking towards the gas station. "Yeah! Then, bam! We used Coco's sick power here to kill the fat ass!" "Great work! That means we have a total of five kills. The Port Mafia should start getting worried now, we will soon crush them!" 

The members started laughing until they saw a young teenage boy with his hands stuffed in his pockets walking towards them, "Are you lost punk!?" A smirk formed on Chuya's lips, "You said, you are going to crush the Port Mafia? I can't let you do that." Chuya used his ability and crashed the motorcycles into the people, he knocked all of them out. A member got up and threw his motorcycle at Chuya, Chuya caught it with his ability sending the bike flying back at its owner, "You must have a strong ability huh? Well, sorry I can't let you use that and hurt Chuya." Dazai came from behind the person touching his neck eliminating his ability. "Ah! Who are you freaks?" Dazai pulled out his gun aiming it at the person on the ground, "The Port Mafia, and we aren't scared of your little kitty cat organization." Dazai had a pure evil smirk as he shot him and the other members on the ground, leaving all of them dead.

"Mission complete." Dazai held out his fist, and Chuya fist-bumped him back, "That was easy. So, what now?" "We enjoy the rest of our night." Dazai smiled and both of them headed back to their small campsite area. Chuya put out the fire and climbed into the tent with Dazai, "Why do we have to share this shitty tent?! Couldn't you grab two?" Chuya hissed, he and Dazai's bodies were almost touching in the tent due to the lack of space within. "There is only one tent sorry chibi." They both looked at each other and laughed, "Shitty Mori." Chuya smiled and then closed his eyes. "Goodnight Chibi." "Night." They both fell into a peaceful slumber.
