Angel Winged Griffin (Remake)

Chapter Four: It's My Secret

(Sakyo) I look at Takanosuke, who lays on the couch sleeping. I guess he came back when I was taking a shower, he was gone for about twenty minutes. I kneel next to the couch and gently flip him onto his back. He moans softly, and I stand. "Why would Zyro help you? You two have never crossed paths....." I sit in my chair and sigh.

It's been four days since Witari attacked the school. Takanosuke is healing slowly, but surely.

(Kira) I open the laptop and grin. "Kira, what are you doing on my laptop?" Shinobu asks.

"I wanna do some research on Takanosuke...." I open Chrome and type in 'Takanosuke Inaba Shishiya' and click the magnifying glass button. The first results immediately surprise me.

"Takanosuke Inaba Shishiya Wikipedia?" Shinobu asks, I open it in a new tab and read aloud.

"'Takanosuke Inaba Shishiya, born in 1993 and died in 2006. He was a male adolescent, dreaming of climbing to the top of the Beyblade world with his... Archer Griffin?" I go to the first tab and check the images, Shinobu gags behind me as I check the one of his death scene. "Holy cow..... That's him! B-But how did he?!" I go back to the second tab and read the rest. "'He lived in Tenshi, Japan, with his now deceased mother Tsukiyo Kutani Shishiya, and his father had left when he was born. His life was cut extremely short by the serial killer Witari Hakura, who also killed his mother. Takanosuke had vowed to defeat Witari, but failed in doing so.'....." I click on the video titled 'Failed Promise'.

"Takanosuke, now that your mother is dead, what are you going to do?" The camerawoman, sounding around Sakyo's age, asks. The very same boy we know looks to the camera.

"Ren, turn the camera off." He sounds the same, only annoyed.

"No, now just tell me! Are you going to hide somewhere, live with a new family, what?"

"I am not hiding or running! You should know that!" His eyes are welling up with tears. "I'm going to end Witari Hakura and send him to -" I guess 'Ren' edited to where if he cursed, you couldn't hear it.

"I'll have to edit that out...."

"Who gives a - Ren?! You're not posting this anywhere so just turn the - phone off!"

"Your mom wouldn't like you cursing, Takanosuke." He looks down.

"I know.... I just hate Witari for what he did, and that you're actually trying to use this to make yourself famous!"

"I-I am not!"

"Yes you are! But go ahead!" He stares straight into the camera. "Listen well, people! I'm not going to run, hide or just sit and do nothing! I vow to put an end to Witari Hakura and avenge my Mom!"

That's where the video ends, and the Wikipedia goes on about his murder scene. "'When police came to the crime scene, Takanosuke uttered one word, 'Witari', then died. He had twenty-six different stab wounds, a long gash across his chest and stomach, his vital organs spilling out. His left eye had been removed and blood was pouring out of his eye socket. He was buried on the 5 of July, 2006.' That's it beside the image...." I look to Shinobu.

"This has to be a sick joke, right? There's no way he could have died and be here now!"

"Afraid it's not a joke... Takanosuke came back somehow and....." I trail off then look to Shinobu. "Call Sakyo."

(Sakyo) The house phone rings, and I answer it. "Hello?"

"Sakyo, you need to come to my place right now, Kira and I need to show you something, just don't bring Takanosuke!" Shinobu sounds really worried.
