My breathing is quick, a bunch of MUGEN members all across the floor of the warehouse, in pain. I kick one guy in the face as he goes to grab me. 

"FUCK! What the hell is your problem kid?" He hisses, holding his nose as he breaths, the aroma of alcohol. 

"Well don't put your face there, asshole." I mumble as I look around. No Kohaku or Tsukumo. Not even Kazuya. I sigh as I turn and leave, hearing a few people attempt to get up only to fall back down. 

My thoughts are flooded with the same thing. Where could he have gone? It's not like it wasn't uncommon for him to disappear for weeks, but it had been a whole month. The longest he's been gone. I kept thinking back to that one moment, mom crying as he ran out, him saying sorry, but he didn't come back. 

She wasn't coming back either. The day that I went to fight MUGEN was the last day I saw my mom alive. She had come home the previous night and didn't wake up. I had left, there was nothing left in SWORD for me. No mom, no dad, no brother, and worse of all, no friends. I did still have Murayama at that point and Rocky, but they felt more like family and less like friends. 

MUGEN were not the only people I would fight. The Amamiya brothers were another group. Granted they wanted to take down MUGEN, I simply was not in the right mind.

I wasn't in the right mind for months, but as I traveled and got use to people's different feelings and ideas it all soaked in. I will admit that I'm still not, but I have been trying. When I met Akumu and Bunko was the darkest time of my life. I had dwindled down to alcoholism, though I never once took drugs, I held myself to some kind of standard. 

Akumu had been badly injured, scrapes and bruises covered her fully. Bunko on the other hand was completely fine. 

"Well, aren't you just a cutie!" Akumu exclaims, staring me down. I look up, feeling light headed from the amount that I had drank. She had long dark hair that was pulled back in a pony tail, strands of her hair in her face, blood red lips with a matching set of nails. Black eyeshadow and eyeliner masked her eyes. She wasn't wearing anything special other than an outfit that could only be described by others as skimpy. 

"Akumu, don't bother the poor girl. She looks like she has been through hell already." Bunko speaks up, clicking her tongue. She, was the opposite of the other girl, shoulder length dark brown hair with sharp eyes. A nude shade covered her eyelids and a pale red adorned her lips. She was wearing a beige trench coat with a white cropped shirt, it fit her. 

Meanwhile I had been wearing nothing other than a pair of jeans, a sweater, and my hair was short. I look between the girls, standing up and focusing on the little details about them. Bunko's earrings, the tattoo that was barely visible on the back of her neck, and the scar that was covered up with makeup above her eyebrow. Akumu's freckles, her scars from over the years all over her stomach, and the small discoloring that was on her hips. 

These were my first actual friends. The first people to have actually cared about me and want the best. We all had our own problems, and we all treated each other like human beings. That isn't something you'd see on the regular, at least from where I came from. 

And now we're here, in SWORD. Trying to find someone that I'm not even sure cares about me. I hope I can get the truth, and really do the right thing.

Word count: 649 

I completely forgot, the last chapter, to put the word count ngl.. I am so very sorry that these chapters are very short. I planned 12 chapters for this movie, and then depending on how well this goes, I will probably continue the Yami Hoshi Takeshi story but adding the other movies (except The Worst and The Worst Cross because she won't be in those ones). So, to finish all of that, we're nearing the end! Chapter 10 will be short just so you know. And thank you guys so much for the votes and reads and views. My other books should be out soon, and thank you all so very much! 

If you want to stay tuned for the future books, you may follow me. I have 2 books coming out and both of them are The Worst and The Worst Cross books. Then I have another book that is not in fact a High & Low series book coming out, it's actually an Alice In Borderland book. 

Apart from that, I have another project that is currently not going to be shared. I do not want to spoil it so soon, but it does have something to do with the past and what not. I won't spoil what past for what character. Much love my dudes and dudettes! ~ DaySune
