Chapter 26 - Prey

Jack sees Lenny running past him, he then grabs his arm,

Jack: "Lenny wait"

Lenny: "I don't have time to talk, I have to help Kelvin"

Jack: "Kelvin? Who is that?"

Lenny: "Someone that has been imprisoned by the Mitsunaga's. You were right, they are

hiding some shady secrets."

Jack: "Don't you think that if he's imprisoned that there is a reason for it?"

Lenny: "See? I knew you wouldn't understand it so let me go"

He says, violently pulling his arm away from Jacks grip before running away,

Jack: "What is wrong with him? Since we got here, he became weird, and on top of that

I can't sense any aura from that Kelvin guy"

Henry sits together with Emilia and Hinata outside, drinking cocktails,

Henry: "Wow this is pretty good, what is that?"

Emilia: "This is a cocktail; you shouldn't be drinking too much of them"

Henry: "Why? I am 15"

Hinata laughs,

Hinata: "It's not a problem; those are without any alcohol"

Henry gets nervous again,

Henry: "I-I drank some alcohol in the past you know?"

Emilia: "Really? When, because while I was home you never even graced anything with alcohol"

Henry: "But when you left"

Emilia: "Oh come on, you think mom would let you drink alcohol?"

Henry looks down embarrassed,

Emilia: "Come, have another of your non-alcohol cocktails Henry"

She says while laughing.

Ichiro: "Arashi Mitsunaga, I remember you"

Arashi: "That aura, you're that little Taketa fucker"

Arashi brightly smiles,

Arashi: "This will be fun"

Ichiro: "What, you want to fight me here?"

Arashi: "You think an antelope can decide were a lion pursues it?"

Ichiro: "From what I remember, you always wanted to be a Samurai with honor"

Arashi: "What, you want to dig up old memories?"

Ichiro: "Come on man, let us at least decide on a place and time to fight, has your mother never told you to never fight on another woman's garden?"

Arashi suddenly snaps, pulling out his katana in high speed, releasing a strong wind and a slash,

Ichiro nearly dodges it, letting a path of destruction arise behind him,

Ichiro: "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

He shouts.

Arashi jumps into Ichiro's direction, attacking him with his katana.

Ichiro quickly grabs a stick, wrapping it with aura to block his attack.

Arashi's katana cuts through the stick, cutting up Ichiro's upper body.

Ichiro screams before jumping to the back but Arashi already catched up, attacking him

again with another slash.

Ichiro dodges it, using his hand to push Arashi's sword away from his hand, but Arashi simply does not care, punching Ichiro to the face.

Ichiro's nose bleeds. He tries to jump back but Arashi simply grabs his arm, pulling Ichiro

to him and hitting him with another punch, followed with another punch and another one.

Arashi smiles in bloodlust, enjoying the splashes of blood that spurts out of Ichiro's

face right onto his own face.

Suddenly, a purple lighting flies at Arashi, hitting him and exploding after sending Arashi flying.

Jack: "Yo Ichiro, you don't look so good"

Jack says in his cool-guy tone, looking at the badly wounded and beaten-up Ichiro that lies on the ground,

Jack: "Let me safe you so that we are even"

He says, while looking at the dark and menacing shilouette, emerging in the distance, walking out of the burning flower field, smiling at Jack,

Arashi: "I thought I have to look for each of you, but here you are walking straight to me"

Jack: "I don't know what your problem is, but you hit someone from my group, so you have

to pay for that"

Arashi laughs menacingly, wrapping his fists in aura,

Arashi: "Show me what you got, my prey"

Henry: "I wanted to tell you something cool I found, big sis"

Emilia: "What Is it?"

Henry: "So, Jack and I were discovering the residency, when we found a used training room"

Hinata gasps silently,

Emilia: "Really? But the Mitsunaga's only have daughters"

Henry: "Yes I know, but we could maybe also use it to train, It has so much cool stuff inside"

Emilia: "You have to show me the room later Henry"

Hinata looks at them worried,

Hinata: "You shouldn't be going into that training room, please"

Henry: "Why? It's a simple training room"

Hinata: "It's not because of the room itself, its because of who trains inside there"

Henry: "Who is it? Who trains inside there"

Hinata gets silent for a second, before looking at them with a saddened expression,

Hinata: "The chief of the Mitsunaga private army and security, Arashi Mitsunaga. He's…he is my older brother"

Lenny runs around the property, looking for a way to get down when he suddenly bumps into Soshi,

Soshi: "What is the matter master Lenny?"

Lenny stares at Soshi with frustration, knowing he is not able to ask anyone for help

and surely not Soshi who is a loyal servant to the Mitsunaga's

Soshi: "Master Lenny, if something is wrong you can tell me"

Lenny: "It is nothi…you haven't seen a place that leads under the property? Something

that has a high worth to me dropped down into a gap and I could hear it hit the ground"

Soshi looks at Lenny suspiciously, knowing that Lenny is hiding something behind his smile,

Soshi: "Sure master Lenny, let me show you the stairs down"

Lenny: "Thank you very much Soshi"

Soshi leads Lenny to a door in one of the residencies near the gap he met Kaelvyn in,

Soshi: "I am being called so please don't take too long"

Lenny: "No problem I won't"

Soshi leaves Lenny alone, running to where he got called too,

Lenny opens the door in front of him, walking down the stairs that leads to a dark and grey hallway,

Lenny: "I don't think that Soshi would have brought me down here if Kelvins cell had been right here, there must be a hidden door or something"

Lenny walks along the hallway, looking for small gaps or hints of a hidden door inside of the walls,

Lenny: "This will take a while"
