February 10
Fumiko has already forgotten everything about romance and dating, she is a new person now, a person who doesn't care about Romance and jet she feels somehow sad to know that her birthday is in three days and that she would spend that day alone and the day after too.
Fumiko's dream was to be a police officer but her actual job is as the secretary in the H.C.P.D. she wants to be a police officer but at the moment she has no option but to accept her destiny.
that day Fumiko went to her workplace and she stayed in there until midnight and once she went out of her workplace she was tired as hell and she called her best friend to go drinking but she was busy working so Fumiko went straight home and on the door steps of her home she saw a strange man with neon black hair, light brown eyes. he had some muscles. he has a black thick beard. his skin is in a light brown tone. his hair is straight and thin. that man smiles at her but Fumiko is oblivious of who he is until he show her the contract that they sing when they were kids, he smiles in a gentle way.
"no fucking way, Arturo is that you?"
asked Fumiko trying to understand how is that the weak kid turned into this masculine man.
"yes darling? my love that is not the way a lady should speak. almost happy birthday honey."
Said Arturo with a gentle smirk.
"what the fuck are you doing in here? why are you holding that childish paper that we sign when he used to be kids? why do you have muscles? why do you have such a pretty face and almost, almost perfect skin? what creams do you used to keep your skin so perfect? where had you been? is this a nightmare?"
asked Fumiko unable to believed that he is her childhood friend.
"babe your B-day is coming soon, so we can have our honeymoon now in your department until the day of your B-day and then we go to the church to sign the papers, by the way I am wearing my sexy underpants today just for you.... oh by the way what do you prefer be called by a cute nickname? your first name? or something like darling?"
said Arturo winking at her.
"no, no, this can't be I had decided that I am not entering in another relationship."
yields Fumiko unable to understand if Arturo been here is a good thing or not.
"I understand that Jonathan Miller AKA the Ray of Hope was a toxic piece of shit that hurt your feelings and heart but don't worry I am here to protect you and make sure that you can have a happy life for the rest of your days with a happy ever after."
said Arturo sending kisses to her.
"how do you even know?"
asked Fumiko in confusion.
"oh I hacked in your electronic devices and I stalked your social media and I had a private detective following you 24/7 so I know everything about that piece of shit and I am here to fulfill that promised that I made to you. we both are single and soon you would be twenty-five so what else can we wait for when we loved each other so much and I already know everything that I need to know about you."
said Arturo with a friendly smile.
"yeah about that let me think about that while I take a rest from work."
said Fumiko sure now that it can't be good at all the fact that he is back on her life.
"if you insist but I would be back tomorrow to take your hand to the altar."
said Arturo in a seductive tone of voice.
Arturo leaves singing and Fumiko is about to enter in a state of panic after seen a person from her past returning to turn her life into a living hell. Fumiko goes inside of her house and she sees the living room full of gift bags and she knows that the worst part is that this is just the beginning.
the next day Fumiko wakes up without desires to stand up after all yesterday was hell. she receives a called from Detective Wagner letting her know that the Villain Known as "Bloodstain" has attacked once more and this time he left four Police officers on the hospital in a critical state and he has left a letter letting them know that he would keep attacking not just the Police Department but everyone that gets in his way and that the only person who is allow to speak with him is Fumiko Suzuki.
Fumiko was exited because she was about to become a police woman and she is no longer going to be a secretary. she gets ready to work and she goes to work full of joy which is over when she sees her boss furious looking at her suspicious of her ( Fumiko's boss is Malcolm King a former Hero whom retired from battle after been brutally wounded by a Villain twenty years ago. his Hero name used to be The Salvatore translated to English as the Savior and ever since his retirement from the Hero position he hates to talk about his old job and he has been working in the Police Department. )
in the meanwhile at the East of Heroic City.....
Arturo is drinking a sweet cold coffee peacefully and out of nowhere a old man with glasses sits in front of him. the old man smiles at him while drinking a latte. Arturo tries to stand up but the old man tells him to sit down with his gaze. they keep drinking their coffees in silence until there is nothing to drink then they put the cups on the table.
"for a moment I didn't recognized you Mr. Suzuki.... well you let that funny mustache grow again. what can I do for you father-in-law?"
said Arturo with a peaceful smile trying to hide how scared he feels right now.
"when I heard that Bloodstain was back I was surprised because Bloodstain was killed many years ago, of course only few now about the Death of the real Bloodstain so I knew it had to be you. now as an old friend of your family and the father of Fumiko I want you to tell me what the hell are you planning to do?"
said Mr. Suzuki feeling guilt.
"I don't know what to do.... a part of me wants to marry your daughter and to had a happy life at her side and to bring her happiness and another part of me wants to take revenge on those who did wrong to my family but if I take that path I can't be with your daughter because it is dangerous and you know it..... it is difficult to make a choice when I am in loved with your daughter and at the same time I am enraged for what the system did to my family..... why do I have to feel? it is so hard to deal with one single feeling but to deal with two complicated feelings is like a fire burning me from inside and the more I feel, the more is hard for me to make a choice.... estoy entre la espada y la pared.... revenge or love."
said Arturo crying in front of Mr. Suzuki.
"did you know I used to be one of the greatest Heroes to ever walk the earth. my Hero name was the Gluttonyc Justice and I even fought alongside the one and only The Salvatore, but I am no longer that man and the last day I wore that name with pride was the day I was saved by the Original Bloodstain. now my name is Chiko Suzuki and I am a family man and as a family man I beg you to stop your vengeance and to take the other path, from all the guys whom had gone after my daughter there is no other guy I would prefer to become part of the family than you. it won't be easy to win her love but at least try and no more stalking young man, if I heard that you keep stalking her then I would be angry with you."
said Chiko thinking that there might be hope.
"I would try to put my revenge aside but if I failed to win her heart then I would give up in that silly dream of becoming a family man and I would wear the name Bloodstain once more till my revenge is over or I am dead."
said Arturo in a serious tone.
"if that is the case then at least could you.... if you decided to be Bloodstain once more don't forget that Malcolm King and I, we don't only know the truth but we would be at your side to help you if you ever need help or if you feel like you are in danger."
said Chiko feeling pain on his heart to see how the kid who was his neighbor become a broken man.
"good bye old man I had a heart to won."
said Arturo feeling better than he felt before.
in the other side of the city on a boring office space....
Fumiko is working on the Bloodstain case while Malcolm King is looking at her and Jurgen Wagner is helping her with the work trying to find any hint of who is that so notorious and cruel villain. Malcolm looks at his watch and he tells them that is lunch time and he basically force them to go to eat outside. Malcolm sends a message to Chiko, then he leaves the office.
Fumiko and Jurgen are walking together they are going to a family restaurant in which they always go. Fumiko gets angry when she sees the face of Jonathan Miller her Toxic Ex and the hero number two in the city.
"I was told that your childhood friend is back and that he is stalking you so here I am to protect you as the good Hero that I am and as your former lover."
said Jonathan with a friendly smirk.
"I can call the H.C.H.D to tell them that a hero is stalking you, the Government is so interested in keeping themselves clean that the smallest scandal can keep a Hero in suspension for a few months without any cash. now if the charges are mayor they can even lose their Hero license."
said Jurgen trying to intimidate him.
"you might be a Hero but you can't touch him, an official worker in front of a public been attack by a Hero. that can be the end of you."
said Fumiko trying to scared him.
"is a shame that you two are looking down on a Hero but don't worry that disrespect would be the end of you. I would show you to never disrespect a Symbol of the city because a man with my power doesn't need to get his hands dirty to make an example of those whom had done me wrong."
said Jonathan angry and thinking of making them pay.
Jonathan leaves. Jurgen buys his food and her food while Fumiko is trying to understand how is that only crazy men get closed to her. Jurgen gets out of the restaurant with the food and they both eat in their way to the office. Fumiko tells him about how Arturo appear out of nowhere in front of her and also about how they made a contract when they were kids and also about how he confess to had been stalking her.
after the day was over she was on her house about to sleep. Fumiko was tired and she din't wanted to know anything about the world. someone knocks on the door and Fumiko walks towards the door. the moment she opens the door she feels regret while watching Arturo with a bouquet of flowers and a huge pink Teddy bear.
"hello babe, are you available next Saturday? or tonight? I really want to spend time with you and to know you again. I want to know better than anyone the lady who is going to be my bride. what is your answer love?"
said Arturo thinking that those words are going to work.
Fumiko closes the door on his face. she is tired and at the moment all she wants is too sleep. Arturo is outside thinking if maybe he said something wrong and he knows he can't do anything stupid or his father-in-law would get angry at him again.
