Chapter 7 - chapter 31: we're the only ones left

[yoichi,narimo,yadara and hatano arrive at the mall]

Hatano: I can't believe they were spying on us.

Yoichi: I know, but I assumed they were.

[hatano looks at yoichi surprised]

Hatano: how?.

Yoichi: Every time we would go around the mall I would always see someone standing on the roof.

Hatano: And you didn't tell me about this?.

Yoichi: no, I wanted to wait till we made a plan.

Hatano: So what? we could fail and endanger the kids?.

[yoichi puts his hand on hatanos shoulder]

Yoichi: Just calm down and let me explain.

[hatano slaps yoichi's hand off of her shoulder]

Hatano: I don't want to hear an explanation.

Yoichi: please.

[hatano runs into the mall]

Yoichi: Who knew that would turn out like that.

[yadara puts his hand on yoichi's shoulder]

Yadara: she'll be fine, just give her some time.

Yoichi: But will she come back?, That's the thing I'm scared of.

Yadara: to be honest I'm not sure but you have to trust that she will.

Yoichi: I hope so.

Narimo: if she doesn't it's her loss, you still have us.

[yoichi looks at narimo surprised]

Yoichi: Thanks, but she was the reason that we got so close to saving your mom.

Narimo: I know but if she leaves us now then we can move forward and do it ourselves.

Yoichi: How could you say that about your sister?.

[narimo begins to tear up]

Narimo: if she was there for me and yadara she wouldn't have faked her death.

Yoichi: But still she's your sister.

Narimo: it doesn't matter, if she is our sister she should have been there for us and mom when we needed her the most.

Yadara: Narimo, stop it.

[narimo looks at yadara surprised]

Narimo: But am I wrong though?.

Yadara: just stop!, you don't know half of the stuff that happened behind closed doors.

Narimo: it doesn't matter what happened, she wasn't there for us when she should have.

[yadara looks at narimo surprised]

Yadara: What happened to you?

Narimo: what do you mean?.

Yadara: you're not acting like you usually do.

Narimo: It doesn't matter.

[yoichi grabs yadara and narimo]

Yoichi: You two stop it.

Yoichi: You two shouldnt be fighting over your sister. I'm sure she had her reasons for the things she did.

[hatano in the furniture store]

Hatano: How could he have kept that a secret?.

[hatano starts crying]

Hatano: If he kept that a secret was he lying about our love too?.

[hatano throws a chair against the wall]

Hatano: If I ever see him again, I'm gonna punch him in the face so hard he never forgets it.

[hatano drops to the floor crying]

Hatano: Did he want us to fail?.

Hatano: This is the first time he's ever kept a secret from me, he's usually straightforward about everything.

Hatano: Was he acting like that just to get into my life to mess it up?.

[yoichi,yadara and natimo walk into the furniture store and see hatano crying]

Yoichi: What's wrong?.

[hatano gets up and slaps yoichi]

Hatano: why?.

Yoichi: why what?.

Hatano: Why would you keep that a secret?.

Yoichi: oh, look i didn't want to tell you about it because i knew you were already stressed enough so i decided to take some of that stress off of you.

Hatano: So what, you could make me even more stressed when I found out?.

Yoichi: no.

Hatano: I can't take it anymore.

[hatano falls into yoichi's arms]

Yoichi: Look, I love you.

Hatano: If you love me then hold me tighter and tell me everything will be ok.

Yoichi: ok.

[yoichi holds hatano tighter]

Yoichi: I promise everything will be ok, I won't let anything happen to you or the kids.

Hatano: Please don't hide something like that from me again.

[yoichi smiles]

Yoichi: I won't.

Yadara: So what are we going to do about a plan?.

Narimo: Yeah, we still need to hurry and save mom.

Hatano: I know.

Yadara: We need to hurry.

Hatano: I know!.

Yoichi: kids just leave hatano alone for right now, i don't think she's fit for making a plan right now.

Yadara: ok, just remember that we have limited time.

[yadara and narimo walk outside the mall]

Yadara: hey look what I have.

[yadara hands narimo hatano's phone]

Narimo: You stole this from her?.

Yadara: Well, let's say we're going to borrow it to call ise.

[narimo looks at yadara surprised]

Narimo: why do we need to call him?.

Yadara: So we can get an exact count of how many people Inaba has running around the city.

Narimo: [sigh] ok but I'm not in this.

Yadara: great.

[yadara calls ise]

Ise: hello?.

Yadara: Is this ise?.

Ise: it is, who's this?.

Yadara: This is Hatano's little brother yadara.

Ise: oh, ok.

Yadara: We need to know how many people Inaba has running around the city.

Ise: ok, there's koide,saito and mori that show up the most.

Yadara: are they the only ones?.

Ise: I'm assuming they're the only ones on the database.

Yadara: Can you tell me about them?.

Ise: sure.

Ise: the database says koide is dead so you probably don't have to worry about him

Yadara: What about the others?.

Ise: Saito is the organ strand user that you've probably heard from hatano. He's the one that massacred the men I sent in to save your mom.

Yadara: ok.

Ise: mori it says he doesn't have a strand but he's incredibly dangerous.

Yadara: ok so the last two of inaba's men are the dangerous ones.

Ise: pretty much.

Yadara: ok, thank you

[yadara hangs up]

Yadara: Well now we have details on all of Inaba's men.

Narimo: ok, now what?.

Yadara: Now we wait for Hatano to make a plan.

Narimo: ok.

[yadara and narimo go into the mall]

[after some time yoichi, hatano, narimo and yadara start to make a plan]

Hatano: Ok, now we need to find out how we can get into the prison.

Yoichi: why don't we do the same plan before just a different route.

Yadara: I don't think that will work.

[yoichi and hatano look at yadara surprised]

Hatano: Why do you think it wont work?.

Yadara: well.

[yadara hands hatano her phone]

Yadara: I called ise and he gave me details of each of inaba's henchmen.

Hatano: ok, and?.

Yadara: their names are koide,saito and mori.

Yoichi: what's that meant to help with?.

Yadara: hold on, saito is the one who massacred the men ise sent in to save mom, and mori apparently to ise he doesn't have a strand but he is still highly dangerous.

Hatano: ok now we know what their strands are but how is that meant to help us.

Yadara: from what ise said the only chance we have to get into the prison is to just go from the entrance and hope for the best.

Hatano: Are you crazy?, that's a suicide mission.

[yoichi puts his hand on hatanos shoulder]

Yoichi: It'll be fine i won't let anything happen.

Hatano: oh, ok.

Hatano: Well, let's go before we lose any more time.

[yoichi,hatano,narimo and yadara run out of the mall]

Yoichi: ok, now we need to get to the entrance.

Hatano: I'm hoping you two are right and nothing will happen.

Yoichi: trust me if anything does happen i'll protect you and the kids.

Hatano: ok.

[mori sees yoichi,hatano,narimo and yadara from a building]

Mori: Now which one is the strongest?.

Mori: I guess it doesn't matter, they're all going to die anyway.

[mori jumps off of the building and uses his freak strand]

Mori: time to meet death himself!.

[mori runs at yoichi using his freak strand but yoichi blocks it with his scythe]

[mori smiles]

Mori: I guess you got lucky, but I won't let it happen again.

Yoichi: You might have caught me off guard but that won't change anything. I will still win.

[yoichi throws mori into a building]

Yoichi: I guess that was easy.

[mori runs at yoichi trying to cut him in half]

Mori: I have you now!.

[yoichi freezes mori in time]

Yoichi: Like I said, it was easy.

[yadara and narimo look at yoichi surprised]

Yoichi: oh, hatano, this is for you.

[yoichi gets down on one knee]

[hatano looks at yoichi surprised]

Hatano: what?, why now?.

Yoichi: It doesn't matter, it's the thought that's put into it.

[yoichi hold out a ring]

Yoichi: hatano kusake, will you marry me?.

[hatano tears up]

Hatano: Of course I will.

[hatano pulls yoichi in for a kiss]

Hatano: I promise to make you the happiest man on earth.

[yoichi smiles]

Yoichi: I promise to make you the happiest woman in the world as well.

[yoichi hears a crack and looks back at mori]

Yoichi: hatano!, get out of the way!.

[yoichi pushes hatano away from him]

Hatano: what?.

[mori frees himself from being froze in time and cuts yoichi in half]

[hatano looks at yoichi's dead body in shock]

Hatano: Why, why was it not me?.

[hatano screams from heartbreak]

Hatano: I'm done!.

[mori smiles]

Mori: aww, lost your husband?.

Hatano: You'll regret even meeting us.

[hatano looks back at yadara and narimo]

Hatano: Kids run!, this is my fight.

[yadara and narimo run back to the mall]

[hatano smiles]

Hatano: Now it's just you and me.

Mori: Come on!.

[mori uses his freak strand but hatano blocks it with her executioners strand]

Hatano: Now fall!.

[hatano uses her executioners strand to cut mori's freak strand in half]

Mori: how? Inaba said this is the strongest strand.

[hatano laughs]

Hatano: He lied to you.

[mori looks at hatano surprised]

Mori: Inaba would never lie.

Hatano: Well then you're just not strong enough.

[hatano rips mori's limbs off one by one]

Hatano: I want you to scream the same way i did when I seen that you killed my husband.

[mori screams in agony]

Mori: please stop.

[hatano smiles]

Hatano: I'm sorry, but I don't know what stop means.

[hatano breaks mori's neck]

Hatano: Now suffer in hell.

[hatano walks back to the mall and sees yadara and narimo crying]

Hatano: kids!, we have to go now!.

[yadara and narimo look at hatano surprised]

Yadara: why?.

Hatano: They know where we are located.

Narimo: There's a sewer in the mall we can hide in and it most likely leads to the prison.

Hatano: ok, we're going there.

[hatano,narimo and yadara run into the mall]

Hatano: ok now where too?.
