A Lovely Shade of Red ~ Mikoto Suoh

Chapter 7

                        Fang's POV

Knock Knock Knock

                Tilly and I stood there waiting patiently for Gidget to answer the door. Gidget's one of my good friends. She's very smart, especially with computers. Back when we were in high school she got all A's and there would be times she would correct the teachers.

        As we stood there, I couldn't help but wonder what Gidget was like now. All of a sudden the door opened. I looked up looked up and saw a short, blue haired girl named Gidget.

        "Fang long time no see," She says with a smile.

        "Hey Gidget," I replied smiling back.

        "Come on in you guys," She said moving aside.

                We walked in and followed her to the living room. Tilly and I took a seat on her couch and she took seat in the leather chair.

        "So when did you get back Fang?" Gidget asked.

        "A Week ago," I answered, "Gidget I came back to do something, and I need your help."

        "My help," she said, "How so?"

        "Gidget I'm looking for the gang that killed my sister," I added, "your smart, and a wiz at computers. Please help me out."

        Gidget sat there for what felt like forever before saying anything. She was thinking of what she should do. I don't blame her. I can't say I would be willing to help someone out with a revenge plot right away either. Gidget sighed and ten began to speak.

        "Alright, I'll help you," she said, "Follow me."

                She got up and started walking. Tilly and I followed closely behind her. We went downstairs to her basement and towards her computer. Gidget got right to work. She searched my sisters death, the newspaper article, and anything similar to it. Tilly and I stood there watching her.

        "Harmony was only 17 right?" Gidget asked.

        "Yeah," I replied.

        "Well there's something similar with this article," she began," this gang apparently has killed many teenagers because they were hired to do so. The ages range from 14-28. There has been many attacks. Also it seems like the Blues have been investigating it as well. They've inspected every crime scene, and can barely find a trace of the gang."

        "Holy Shit," Tilly murmured.

        "The blues," I mumbled.

                Reisi knows about this gang. Why didn't he tell me? He know's I'm looking for them. How could he do this to me? I clenched my fist in anger. Oh when he sees me next he'll be sorry.

        "Gidget, I have to go talk to someone," I said making my way towards the stairs.

        "Okay," She replied, "Tilly and I will try to find out as much as we can. If we find anything we'll call you."

        "Sounds good," I said already halfway up the stairs.

                I made my way out of Gidget's house, slamming the door behind me. I was walking as fast as I could to Scepter 4's building. I needed to have a talk with Reisi. I must know what he knows. As I got closer, my anger got more intense. I was bumping into people left and right. I didn't care. My main focus is that office building. Upon approaching the gate I was buzzed right in. I ran up to the doors and pushed my way through.

        "Hi," the lady at the front desk said, "is there anything I can help you with?"

        "NO," I spat walking into the elevator.

                I pressed the button that had a five on it. The doors closed, and I stood there listening to the elevator music. As soon as those doors opened, I took off to Reisi's office. I didn't give anyone the chance to stop me. I pushed open the big oak doors, letting myself in. Not only was Reisi in there but so was that girl that I saw leave the elevator. She looked at me with this irritated look on her face.

        "Sorry to interrupt but we need to talk," I said sternly.

        "Excuse me," the woman said, "You can't just barge in here demanding to talk to the captain." fui

        "I don't care," I snapped, "now leave!"

        "I don't take orders from you," the woman chuckled.

        "Seri," Reisi began.

        "LEAVE," I yelled throwing my red flames towards her.

                She put her blue aura up as a shield to guard her. Before she could say anything else, Reisi politely asked her to leave. She hesitated for a moment looking my way. She then sighed, and walked out.

                Once the door was closed, I started my fit.

        "Why didn't you tell me you were looking into the gang that killed Harmony," I exclaimed.

        "Fang," Reisi spoke calmly, "you know I can't discuss that with you."

        "That's my sister," I snapped, "I have the right to know!"

        "I'm sorry Fang," he said.

        "Well then I want your help finding them," I demanded.

                Reisi sighed rubbing his head.

        "Fang, I can't help you," he said, "you know that. If I find them I will arrest them."

        "No that's not good enough," I began, "those bastards deserve to die!"

                He didn't say anything after that. I stood there bewildered! How could he do this to me?

        "Some friend you are," I murmured walking out the door.

                I made my way back to the elevator and waited for the doors to open. I felt so hurt. As I walked into the elevator someone else followed me in. I pressed the button that would take me to the first level and the person pressed the button that would take them to the floor they needed.

        "You know I can help you find the gang," the person spoke.

                I turned and looked at the man. He was a tad taller than me, looks like he could be younger than me. He has messy black hair, blues eyes, and rectangular glasses.

        "Who are you?" I asked.

        "I'm Fushimi Saruhiko," he replied.

                His voice sent shivers down my spine.
