My Akuma (Book One of The Yakuza Series) (✔️)

三十二 (Thirty-Two)

(Ryu's POV)

I opened the door and was faced with the decision to go either left or right. When a man rounded the corner from the left the decision was made for me.

Before he could call for help or do anything, I ran at him and snapped his neck. He dropped to the floor and searched him, but came up with nothing really useful.

I walked further down that hallway and came face-to-face with Kana seconds later.

"H....How?" He stuttered.

I grabbed him by the hair and leaned in close.

"Years of built up anger, rage, and hatred." I whispered before slamming his head against the concrete wall six times.

I knew better than to search him. Kana was just an errand boy. To weak to do any real damage. I did snatch his phone though.

I quickly dialed a number as I searched the rest of the floor and hallway.

"Hello?"

"You sneaky f*cker."

"Ryu? Is that you?"

"No shit."

"Where are you?"

"Not sure yet, but trace this phone and I'm sure you'll find out." I said before hanging up.

The rest of that floor and hallway was empty. My only option next was to go upstairs. That's when I had to chose between elevator or stairs.

I picked the stairs.

When I exited the stairwell, instantly knew where I was. Little Tokyo in one of the buildings that Nakamura owns here.

That worked in my favor since I've seen the blueprints to almost all of his properties. I scanned through the memory of each one I'd seen and quickly found it.

Three stories, not counting the basement.
Four exits on the first floor and and underground parking garage.

"Now if I were bitch ass punk what room would I hide in?" I asked myself.

Before I could figure out the answer two men came out of one of the rooms. I only got to one before they called in for help. That's when alarms started going off and the building went on lockdown.

"You won't get away." The second guy said as I approached him, the first one already dead. "You're trapped in here with tons of armed men. You'll die before you escape."

I shook my head. "That's where you're wrong. I'm not trapped. Everyone else is. They're all trapped in here with me."

The only thing those two had were guns. Like I said before, I don't like guns so I just disassembled and left them.

The real fun began when I turned a corner and found four men coming at me. They gave it their best shot, but I was running on adrenaline, hatred, and rage so they had no chance.

I smirked to when I entered one room and found Tanaka inside. His eyes widened with fear as he saw me enter and he fumbled for a weapon.

Thankfully, one of the four men from before had a knife on him. As Tanaka reached for his weapon, I threw the knife and, with deadly accuracy, it landed dead center of his chest.

I walked over and pushed him down before pulling it out.

"You f*cked with the wrong man." I growled in his ear as I then split his neck open from ear to ear.

By that point, I was covered in blood and my hair had come loose from where I had had it up. I knew I looked insane. I didn't care though.

Ten dead bodies later, I moved to the second floor. There, I wiped out fifteen more men and then went up to the third floor.

I got upstairs to find Nakamura's men, but not Nakamura. Some took shots at me, some tried to stab me, and some just begged for their life. One guy actually shot himself before I could get to him.

When I got to the last living one, I pinned him to the floor with my knee on his chest.

"Where'd Nakamura go?" I asked.

"I....I don't know." The man cried.

"You're lying." I said pressing my knife into his throat.

"He....he ran when the alarms went off."

"Where'd he go?"

The man closed his eyes right tight before he spoke his next and final words. The words he spoke didn't make me angry. No, they pissed me off. Pissed me off to the point where all I saw was red and I felt Akuma really come out to play.

"He went after the girl."

(Aria's POV)

I was pacing back and forth when Aimoto called me.

"Aria! He called me!"

"What? Who?"

"Ryu! He called me from some number. I'm tracking it now!"

"Oh my gosh! You're serious?"

"Yes. It was him. He didn't sound like him, but it was him."

"Didn't sound like him? What do you mean?"

"It sounded like I was talking to a demon or something."

I shut my eyes as I tried to keep my tears back and pressed my hand to my mouth. He was right. It was Ryu, but at the same time it wasn't.

They had pushed him past his breaking point. I knew it was just a matter of time before they did.

"Aria? You where?"

"I'm here. Sorry. Have you found where he is?"

"I should have a location any minute now."

Once he found the location I wrote it down.

"Vince and Val should be here soon. I'll let them know as soon as they get here."

"Okay. Call me when you have him."

"I will. Promise. Thank you, Aimoto. I mean it."

"You're welcome, Ari."

I hung up and ran to put my shoes on. I'd just finished when the sensors went off and there was a knock on the door. Assuming it was Vince and Val, I walked open and yanked it open.

It wasn't though. It was men I'd never seen before and behind them was Nakamura. They forced their way inside and Nakamura pistol whipped me. The last thing I saw was one of his men shutting and bolting the door shut and I knew I was f*cked.
