do you know that urban legend, the red string of fate? i used to be a firm believer in it, thinking that i had a soulmate and that i had met them. i thought that often when i was with haruna jinmeyo.
we had been best friends as kids and i had a puppy love for her. one day in junior high, i had confessed in the form of a cliche letter and she accepted my feelings and we began dating. or as dating could be described in junior high.
as i said, it was puppy love. after a couple of months, she had begun to act differently. she was less warm and would force me to do things i didn't normally do. she asked me to skip class with her to go to the store or meet up with her other friends and if i refused, we'd have a fight over if i really liked her and she'd threaten to break up with me.
that should have been a sign for me, but i was too scared to lose my first love and best friend to do anything else.
the biggest red flag should have been when she asked me to help her and her friends take money from one of the larger stores in our town by freezing up the employees and letting them take the money.
i tried every excuse not to do it; i told her that my mom needed help at her agency and she had told my mom that i would be with her on a date to the arcade. i told her that i really didn't want to do it, and she threatened me and my life with it.
without having any excuses and letting myself become manipulated by this desire to have someone to hold on to, i did it.
except when the cops came because the employees thought we looked suspicious, i took one look at my girlfriend's face that held the smallest amount of panic and i had brought the employees and half of the police unit into a critical condition that would end up keeping them in hospitals for months.
and then my mom showed up. and i broke down in front of her and everyone else in that store.
after working it all out with the authorities and labeling it as manipulation and peer pressure, i had gone home without even a text from haruna who had escaped once my mom showed up and tried to capture her.
the next day she broke up with me and her family left for tokyo the next week. this is when i had developed depression and extreme anxiety and my dad had put me on those pills that restrained any possibility of me breaking down and getting scared of public places.
my mom dyed my hair and we fixed my appearance and made sure i was unrecognizable for a while. the people of my town of course scrutinized me, the daughter of a hero and renowned doctor, for almost killing a mass amount of people because of "love".
after a year, i had fixed myself up and began to forget the girl that hurt and ruined my life as i knew it. the next year, i had moved to shizuoka and started a new life where i thought that no one knew of me until the reporter figured out who i was.
anyway, fuck that. that was a shitty time in my life that i don't ever want to remember, so i'm going to finish this match as blunt and as quick as i can so nothing resurfaces again. i can't afford to let all that shit affect me again.
and so as soon as she tried pushing the earth up to me and trapping me, i jumped in the air and landed in front of her as i quickly got into a stance and restrained her movements. the fight was unmatched and i was disappointed that she truly hadn't changed since she or i left.
her cocky facade had faded as i felt her try to get out of my hold and her face had looked more defeated than the day she got caught with her weak puppy. "you really haven't changed. what the hell has been holding you back?" i mumble, raising her in the air to make sure she was nowhere near the land that she could use against me.
"you. you always held me back," she said, loud enough for me to hear. she had spit the words with venom lacing each syllable. i looked back up to her, more confused at her behavior than i have ever been. "i always fucking hated you and everything you were."
"the hell do you mean-" before i could finish my sentence, footsteps entered the room and i could recognize the muscle strain as that of a police officer. turning, i saw them with standardized guns pointed at both of us.
slowly moving haruna, i felt them cock their guns and point, almost yelling before they got a look at me. i rolled my eyes at their shock. they should have been notified about my coming back and training with my mom.
holding haruna in front of them, i moved her limbs to allow them to cuff her as i made sure her feet didn't touch the ground. "haruna jinmeyo and other accomplices have been seen stealing items from the geode and fossil exhibits. i suggest you spread and surround the area for anyone else who had been affiliated with her and to check with local schools on absences."
they cuffed her hands and feet and had me escort her to a police car to get taken to the station for interrogation. i felt her eyes on me as i put her in there. before the cop had closed the door on her, she looked up to me with the smile i saw when we had been kids.
"you've gotten so much strong, hana. i'm proud of you." i gulp down my feelings and nod to her. the cop closed the door and got to the other side to drive back. turning on my heel, i was faced with the captain that i was familiar with.
"welcome back, sato. good job defeating her, i know it may have not been easy seeing her again." i nod to him sternly as i bounce on my heels.
"thank you, sir. i'll be here for the rest of the week interning with my mom if she decided not to notify you yet." he nods to me with a sigh.
"that's your mom, alright. have fun and i hope you don't have to deal with things like this. if you're available, you'd be useful in finding the other culprits." i nod to him and he points me to his scouts and i begin helping.
man, i can't wait to get home and just relax for the rest of the night. maybe i could talk to katsuki.
