Chapter 56: Altercation
The Next Day
Milly
I'm riding at the front of the open back wagon with Felmina. She's sitting across from me.
We're riding with a bunch of other people sitting to my left and Felmina's right. They are sitting all the way to the back of the 3 meter long wagon.
They all look like they are heading to the gallows.
"Uhm, Felmina-sama who are these people?"
I finally break the silence as I point.
"They are my husband's personal unit, the Kaijuu Bears. look"
She points to the tattoo as she pulls her armor and shirt down. It's a logo it does kind of resemble a bear.
I look up at her after she puts the tattoo away.
"Why do they look so down?"
"Oh, they just need to reach a decision before we reach Vincent, it's a really important life changing decision."
She's pointing at the sky as she explains.
Some guys dressed similarly comes running up from behind.
"Quit moping you guys, It's time for your run."
They look up, then all of them starting from the back jump off the moving wagon and take off running toward the front of the caravan. Only me and Felmina remain now.
The guys from before catch up and climb onboard and start taking seats.
"Why where they running?"
They look tired as hell but their faces are beaming. Especially the guy next to me. He's wiping his sweat away.
"They want a distraction, so I suggested this. Also in the Kaijuu Bears if you let yourself go and start taking the easy way out, after a while you can't stop. This is nothing compared to hell week. Right David."
"Right you are Felmina nee-san, even after we tried to poison Kaijuu-sama and his family, he still took us in. You see we lost our previous boss and were being hunted down by the police. Some of the guys suggested we flee to the Shadowfall Kingdom, since there's no police. That's when I suggested we head for Aniki's home."
"I'm sorry for your loss."
He puts his hand behind his head smiles and is waving his hand as he speaks.
"Our previous boss isn't dead or anything, In the letter he sent, It said he personally received a warning from Aniki, but that's impossible. I still can't wrap my head around it."
Felmina gets this evil smile on her face. Her eyes are beaming like she knows something.
I turn back to him.
"What do you mean it's impossible?"
"Well you see Don Masters was in--"
"That's enough David"
"Yes, sorry."
He bows to her.
We chat about this and that until the previous group returns.
That Night
We are waiting in general Kaijuu's tent, they are still setting up ours.
He comes in.
"Hello guys, waiting for your tent?"
"Yes."
Felmina responds.
I nod.
He walks toward the bed and starts taking off his armor. He took off his helmet torso and gauntlets.
He's wearing a black suit under that armor. Isn't he steaming in that thing!?
That's when we hear it, It's coming from outside.
"He's here isn't he!"
Atsui onii-chan!!
"Let me go, why you. Don't stop me he has my sister in there!"
general Kaijuu walks over and opens the flap. I strain my ears to hear.
"Look buddy we're trying to save your life, Ah! general this guy."
"Take his weapon and let him through."
He has a weapon!? I go to get up. Felmina stops me. I look at her she shaking her head.
I sit back down.
"And you are?"
"Atsui White, where is my sister, did you chain her up."
He pushes him aside and steps in. Or more like he lets him in.
"You see she's fine."
General Kaijuu walks around him putting himself between us.
"Please calm down."
He looks over his shoulder to me. We stand up.
"Are you ok Milly?"
He doesn't even wait for me to answer when he looks at him and says
"You'll release my sister and have her return to us at once."
General Kaijuu grabs his shoulder stopping him as he walked past.
*Thud
OH Shit! Atsui just hit him in the face. His head didn't even move. He lets go.
He rushes up to me and grabs my hand pulling me along. As we go past general Kaijuu he grabs his arm stopping him.
Felmina pipes up:
"Wait!"
"Shut up bitch!"
General Kaijuu squeezes his arm, he lets go of my hand.
"I'm fine brother, please leave before--"
"He just called me a bitch."
I start to panic Felmina's drawing her swords.
General Kaijuu sees this then grabs Atsui and hugs him tight. He struggles.
"Atsui-kun I'm sorry for my part in the death of your father, you can hit me and insult me all you like, but"
His voice goes really low as he tightens to a bear hug. He leans in real close to his ear.
He continues:
"Insult my wife again and It'll be the last words you'll ever say."
He lets go pushing him away with a brilliant smile holding him up by his shoulders.
"Ne"
Atsui's head is tilted back his spirit is leaving his body.
"Ne Atsui kun!"
general Kaijuu shakes him his head keeps flopping back and forth. No response.
He lets go and Atsui melts to the floor
"David!"
"Yes Sir!"
He comes in.
"Take him to medical."
"Yes Sir..."
David looks at Atsui then at general Kaijuu
"You didn't kill him did you Aniki?"
"Just take him."
Then he looks at me as David picks him up.
I panic. Felmina's sitting on the bed again behind me.
"I think my mother sent him and he probably misunderstood, he gets like that and says things he doesn't mean, please forgive him."
I bow.
"I see, go see your mother she's probably worried, then please return to your tent before dark."
"I Understand."
I do just that.
