A dark past to a bright future

Chapter 45

(hospital Iris room)

Souji's mum (talking on the phone): So he completely changed?

Souji's dad (from the phone): Yeah. The only thing he cares about is strength.

Souji's mum: So Iris's dad didn't feel bad about what happened to his daughter?

Souji's dad: No. He actually wanted her to die in the accident. I wasn't able to pull the trigger. If I didn't kill him our son wouldn't hesitate to cut his head off.

Souji's mum: Are you going to be late?

Souji's dad: Yeah. We're going to invade the Blood Blossom base.

Souji's mum: Make sure to be careful. Remember they're dangerous.

Souji's dad: I know.

(outside underground prison)

Souji (standing with Ruby watching his dad walk out): What now boss?

Souji dad: We finally get to start the mission we've been preparing for days. Remember no killing but you can injure them.

Ruby and Souji: Roger that.

(Sunset Hospital Iris room)

Ruby's dad (rushing over while shocked after opening the door): Iris what are you doing?

Iris (eyes full with sharp pupils while struggling standing by using her katana for support): I have to find the people who tried to kill me.

Ruby's dad: You've been asleep for five days. In your condition, you would still have to stay in bed.

Souji's mum (walking over after entering): Iris what are you doing out of bed? (in her mind after Iris look at her) Her eyes almost look like Souji's past eyes.

Iris: You look like Souji.

Souji's mum: I'm his mother.

Iris: Is he alive?

Souji's mum: He is. Right now he's doing something important.

Iris: Thank goodness.

Ruby's dad (after Souji's mum catches Iris when she leans to the side): She just passed out from not having enough strength.

Souji's mum (picks Iris up seeing her eyes close before putting her on the bed): I don't think Iris was fully awake. By the way, can you leave so I can change her clothes? Ruby was kind enough to bring Iris pajamas.

Ruby's dad (while walking away): Yeah. While you do that I need to make a call.

(road inside police car back seat)

Ruby (answers her phone after she looks at the phone number when it vibrates): Hey Dad. Sorry but can you make this conversation short? We're on our way about to do something.

Ruby's dad (from her phone): It's Iris.

Ruby (after her dad explains): I see. Thanks for telling me. I'll let him know.

Souji (looking at Ruby while she put her phone away): Is everything alright?

Ruby: My dad just told me Iris just woke up and tried to leave her room having those dull eyes but when your mother arrived she instantly looked at her. Questioning if you were alive. After Iris got her answer she soon passed out.

Souji: If I'm right Iris was going to look for her father's gang in her weak state because she must have known it was them who fired the rocket.

Souji's dad (at the front): You were like that too. When you were badly injured in the past.

Souji: I barely remember those memories.

(night near a warehouse by the sea)

Souji's dad (after stopping the car): I'll wait for my team here. You two can go ahead.

Ruby (while Souji got out first): Be careful while we're gone, boss.

Souji's dad: Don't worry I will.

(outside car)

Ruby (walking to Souji putting a white hip bag on while he looks at the warehouse from a distance): Ready to get this done?

Souji: There might be more groups in the Sakura family gang but at least we'll be able to end the generation of the Blood Blossom leader tonight.

Ruby (reorganize the sheath having them above the bag): Right.

Souji (while unsheathing his katana): I hope you can keep up.

Ruby (starts walking with Souji): I'm not that rusty.

(in front of the warehouse)

While walking towards the entrance one of the members saw them so he showed a sigh letting the person with the rocket know to fire the grenade. After the person fired the grenade it went through the door about to hit Souji and Ruby but Souji cut the rocket in half making it explode from behind.

Ruby (see all forty members of the Blood Blossom gang line up after they stop walking): I thought they would be more in this so-called main family.

Souji saw two people from the other side about to reload the rocket so he suddenly disappeared to appear near those two people before cutting the rocket launcher.
