~~~Arc 2 - Chapitre 30 - The Game We're Playing~~~
Watching from his hiding place with disinterested look, the young man saw how the figure on the hallway move expertly from one side of the room to another in a flash. The figure look around him before picking something from inside his pocket and do something he couldn't see to the door in front of the said figure. A moment later, he could hear a faint click resounding in the quiet hallway, before the door being pushed open. He watched how the figure look around him once more, before walking inside the room and close the door behind him.
"Target is locked. Waiting for further order." His smirk grew at the response he's receiving. "Understood."
Going out from his hideout, he just had to wait for a couple of minutes before some other guy start showing up.
"It's showtime, guys." He scoffed as he walked toward the unlocked door. Reaching for the doorknob, he slowly turn it before pushing the door open.
"Well, well, well. Good afternoon, everyone. Such a nice day today, don't you agree ?"
***
Feeling a sharp tug in his chest, Keito suddenly stopped his steps, earning him confused looks from the rest of the gank.
"Phantom, what's wrong ?" Twister asked him, a frown framing his face.
"Guys, you go first. I've got something to do." He spoke hastily as he turned around, but was stopped by a hand grabbing his wrist.
"What do you think you are doing ?" Lion stared at him firmly.
"I've got something to do." Keito stared back at him just as firm.
"Is this something has something to do with a certain Gatekeeper ?" This time, it was Twister who spoke from behind Lion.
Widening his eyes in surprise, Keito found himself at lost. "Wha-"
A deep sigh coming from Harp's lips as she leaned back on the wall.
"Now that we've gotten like this, I guess we just have to tell you. Just as you had said before, the five of us knew each other. And trust me boy, we have the same mission as you are. And that was not to take down the enemy's boss or something. It's a job meant for someone else."
"Though if you asked who the enemy's boss is, it would be quite a challenge to explain." Added Red as he looked up to nothing in particular. "Cuz if we see it from the different point of view, the enemy is our ally, and our ally is enemy. Confusing."
"What are you guys ?" Keito half-shouted in his impatience.
"We are the elite troop of the King of the Underworld." Angela answered him calmly. "And we were asssigned to save the the two worlds from colliding with each other. By retrieving what was taken to be the sacrifice back safely to where they belong. Nothing less, nothing more."
"I don't understand-" Keito shook his head.
"You don't have to." Angela raised his face as she looked at him. "No one asked you to."
"Just for your information boy," Lion started. "We've received news that your boy had escape, and most probably in his way here if not here already. That's why, running back to where you came from is just a waste of time. Let's just sweep this place and search for all of them."
Keito's face hardened at the statement, but after contemplating the possibilities, he knew that this man was right. Pulling his hand away from the man's grasp, Keito nodded his head, a sign that he agreed to follow their lead.
"Speaking of that, I was just informed that aside from Yuuki, Rai is currently on his way here as well." Angela said as she kept back the small device she was holding as they spoke.
"And Yuu ?" Twister turned at her with unreadable eyes.
"He's sticking to the plan. Though I can't say of what he will do in the end." The woman avert his eyes.
"Let's just, do what we ought to do for now." Harp pat the other woman's shoulder as she turned to face the others. "Let's go."
And Keito has no other choice but to follow them out.
***
"Ryosuke !"
Raising a finger to make a shushing signal, Ryosuke proceeded to the two boys lying on the ground floor. Pulling a small knife from his side pocket, Ryosuke skillfully cut the ropes tying both Yuya and Chinen's hands and feet, freeing them.
"Yamada-kun, you shouldn't come here ! It's a trap !" As soon as his hands were freed, Chinen shook the younger Yamada's shoulders.
"I know." Ryosuke answered shortly as he released himself from Chinen's hands around him. "Let's just, get you two out of here."
"Wait, Ryosuke !" Yuya called out. "How did you know that we're here ? And, how did you get here anyway ?"
"Doesn't matter." Ryosuke shook his head, his patience growing still. "Just stop talking and get out of here !"
"Well, well, well. Look what we've got here." A sudden voice coming from behind him immediately had the young man to turned around and set his position.
"Who are you and what do you want ?" He asked icily.
"Who am I or what I want are not important." The man said cheekily, "But what my Boss wants is. And he wants you dead."
Ryosuke sucked a breath as he pierced his eyes to this newcomer and his men.
"Then unfortunately, I do not wish to die." He lifted his chin up. "So I guess I have to finish you all off."
"Not so soon, boy." The man smirked. "Guys."
And not a second later, all of them start to attack him fiercely. Ryosuke could hear Yuya shrieked his name as he was being ganged up by those guys. But he paid no heed to it as he tried to focused himself in the fight he's having. Fighting several people at one was never a problem to him, no matter how strong his opponents were. But fighting several people at once while keeping an eye to two other people, is quite a challenge, even to him.
Ryosuke dodged the punch directed his way as he squatted down and swiped on the ground to the other side while knocking the man out with his very own hands in the process. Marching forward, he pulled one of the man's collar from the back as he was about to harm Yuya.
"Your opponent is me." He spoke angrily as he struck the man's face with the back of his hand, sending the man unconscious. But when he was too busy with the now unconscious man, he failed to see another man coming from his back in time to avoid the attack. But what a surprise when that attack never came. Widening his eyes, he looked as the said man fell to the ground, and see one Chinen Yuri stood behind the fallen man, with both palms straightened up.
"Chinen ?!"
"Don't underestimate the power of Shizuoka's best karate dojo's successor, Yamada-kun." The squirrel send him a playful smile before he strike another man on his side.
"I never knew." Ryosuke commented to himself before he return to the battlefight. Seeing how one man pulled something from inside his pocket, Ryosuke quickly kicked the hands of the man before turning around to place another kick which sent the man flying.
Looking back in surprise, Chinen stared at Ryosuke's figure for a second before thanking him.
"Just paying a debt of mine." He spoke arrogantly before taking another man down. "You better step away. You might be strong, but this is not your thing."
"But-" Chinen was ready to protest buth he stopped him.
"No buts. Just step back. And protect my brother instead."
Biting his lower lip hesitantly, Chinen finally nodded as Ryosuke send him a look which was telling him to just do what he said. He then pulled back and return to where Yuya still sat in shock.
"Let's get away, Yamada-san." Chinen told the man as he tried to make him stand.
At the sound of Chinen's voice, Yuya seemed to be brought back into reality.
"No ! I've got to save my brother !"
"Yamada-kun can handle this !" Chinen shouted back at him, surprising the older Yamada. "Let's just, stay back."
Finally letting himself being dragged to a corner, Yuya could only stare at his brother's figure fighting those fierce-looking people by himself. Now come to think of it, how come Ryosuke managed to defeat that many people ? Since when his brother became this strong ? Just as several other questions flowing on his head, Ryosuke strike the last man with his kick. And it amazed him how he didn't even sweat after all those fights.
As for Ryosuke, taking a deep breath, he turned back to the first man who just smiled calmly by the side.
"Is that it ?"
"Oh, you underestimated me ! How confident." The man flick his hands and more men coming from the doorway, surrounding Ryosuke in a second.
"No matter how much you do this, the result won't change." He said in a mocking tone.
"Oh, that one I agree." The man nodded his head. "The result won't change. For you to lose, that is."
Flicking his fingers one more time, Ryosuke widened his eyes as those men quickly turned away and charged toward where his brother and Chinen are. He was about to stop those men from going any further when suddenly, the first man already stood in front of him. A smile forming on his lips.
"You won't go anywhere, Yamada Ryosuke-kun."
"You-" Ryosuke hissed as he start attacking the man but to no avail. This one man always managed to dodge his attacks and skillfully getting away from him, but kept him from getting to where his brother and Chinen is at the same time.
"It's about time, for us to end this game. Don't you agree ?"
Before Ryosuke could utter a word, he felt something pierced his neck and in an instant, his sight turned blurry. Through his fading sight, Ryosuke saw the man crouching above him, a small and long device on his hand. Looking beyond it, he saw how Chinen fell down and two men held Yuya unmoving. Faintly, he heard someone calling his name, and then everything turned black.
