Chapter 10
Only God knows how many times she beat a teenager lying on the edge of the field. Several times the poor girl asked—whining that she would not be beaten but the people who surrounded her did not stop tormenting her. She should have been more careful when she called, she should have paid more attention to her surroundings if those people were still watching her.
But like a robot that has no feelings, with Hirate's poor condition Risa still doesn't stop beating her. Her anger is out of bounds. Since they brought Hirate to the outskirts of the city, an area far from human fuss.
Hirate was on all fours, with blood dripping from her head. Her vision is blurry, her head ached terribly. She cried out in pain as Seki stomped on her head on the ground really hard. Then she felt a knee hold her back and made her unable to moves freely. Everything ached, her body ached so bad.
“This bastard. She called her friends here!" the voice was heard. The voice that always disgusted Hirate. "You know what happened when you mess with us!" Risa immediately grabbed Hirate's head and knocked her to the ground many times.
"What should we do? We will be dead if they come here and see us,” Hono ran over. "there is no time left." she emphasized.
"No. I will handle them. Karin, Seki come with me. Risa, lend me your car!” Yuuka suddenly took Risa's car keys from her jacket pocket. She then took Karin and Seki with her. "This will hurt. For them." she glanced at Hirate with deadly eyes.
Hirate sensed something is wrong. Her intuition told her that something bad would happen to her friends. She tried to get out of Risa's grip, with all of her strength she stood up trying to catch up with Yuuka. “No! Yuuka! Argh!" Hono immediately kicked her down before she could go any further.
Yuuka immediately ran to Risa's car. She drives Risa's Mitsubishi Triton at high speed. She had to as quickly as possible catch up with the car driven by Hirate's friends. Racing against time, no matter how Yuuka must arrive at the T-junction near the old iron factory. The snowy and slippery road made their car skid a few times, but Yuuka quickly controlled the car again.
"Yuuka, that's must be the car!" Karin yelled at Yuuka. She saw a white car driving at high speed towards the T-junction as well. Yuuka nodded, she also sped up the car. Karin is very confident with her guessing because she often finds Hirate using that car with her friends.
The distance between the two cars was getting closer. Yuuka made absolutely no effort to slow down. It made other cars honk and slowing down. She doesn't care with death, she'll only get hurt a little after this, Yuuka thought.
“SLOW DOWN, YUUKA! WE ARE GOING TO DIE!"
Yuuka did not hear the screams of Seki and Karin who tried to revive her from the demon that had possessed her soul. The next thing that happened, the sound of metal and broken glass clashing sounded thundering, very loud. Yuuka's Triton car crashed into the side of the car that Hirate's friends were carrying. Due to the high speed, the other car overturned many times and hit the road divider hard—even the strong iron road divider was released until the car was thrown another few meters. Lucky, the car didn't go into the sea.
The impact of the great collision made the car body fragments scattered around the location. The front of the car Yuuka was driving was crushed, the grille was broken and scattered, the bumper had come off, and the hood of the car was cracked and opened. Meanwhile, other cars were destroyed on the left side. It all happened so fast. Risa's car's windshield shattered. The glass fragments made a several cuts on Yuuka's face, it didn't hurt too much so Yuuka didn't care about the blood flowing from her face. She looked back, Seki holding her head she also complained and let out a curse that must have been aimed at Yuuka. Her decision was wise to have her two friends sit in the back seat.
While Karin? She immediately jumped out of the car after the collision occurred. Didn't care about the pain from her neck being bent because her head hit the driver's seat. Unsteadily, she ran toward the BMW, which had its left side crushed. She shuddered in horror when she saw the passengers in the car, for a moment he held back the urge to vomit.
Yuuka looked at Karin who looked frozen from a distance. She narrowed her eyes, glanced at Seki from the rearview. Turning on the car engine even though the engine part is already emitting smoke. Yuuka drove her car for a moment before stepping on the gas pedal as deep as possible. Hearing the car's engine roar, Karin reflexively ran away from the car wreck and threw herself on the cold, snowy asphalt.
Yuuka's car once again slammed into the half-destroyed BMW, and it was thrown over a cliff, plunging into the bottom of the sea. Yuuka pulled the handbrake firmly just before the car she was driving plunged into the sea—only a few inches away, if Yuuka was just a little late, she and Seki would be devoured by the unfriendly waves. Seki looked at Yuuka in disbelief. She gripped Yuuka's arm tightly from the back seat without saying anything—every sentence she was about to say refused to leave her throat. What she saw, what she experienced would clearly be imprinted in her brain forever.
The sound of person running on the snow was heard approaching the car. Karin opened the driver's door, pulling Yuuka's jacket, pulling her to the side. “Yuuka! Yuuka! Look what you've done! This is not what we expect before!" she shook Yuuka's body strongly. “Yuuka! Yuuka!"
"Yuuka!"
The owner of the name gasped with breath. Her response made Akane startled and wondered what was on Yuuka's mind to the point that she was so silent and focused on her thoughts.
“Sugai Yuuka! Get up, you jerk! You're driving! " Akane once again shouted, louder this time and it made Yuuka fully aware of her surroundings. She looked at the car dashboard, also look the outside from the car window. Her chasing breath slowly returned to normal even though cold sweat still flowed from her forehead.
Ignoring the horn from the car behind them, Yuuka immediately sped up the car. She is looking for a rather quiet road to pull over the car. Yuuka cursed softly. She gripped the steering wheel until her knuckles turned white. Why did the incident replay clearly in her mind? Yuuka sighed. Assuming the hallucinations were getting worse, she start to think how many pills she should take tonight.
"What happened to you?" she realized when the person in the passenger seat of her car asked another question.
"N-No. I'm fine. I'm just.. spaced out." Yuuka replied casually. It made Akane look at her with curiously. "Ah, if we go to your house we have to turn right at the front road?" she immediately changed the subject.
Akane nodded. The girl then turned her attention back out the window. Diverted her attention from the interior of Yuuka's… luxurious car. At least for Akane. She comes from an ordinary family. Did she also own a car? She did, but just a small old car for shopping needs only. Looking at Yuuka, Akane is sure this girl had several other car collections in her garage. The car turned a corner, Akane could see her apartment building. She was grateful that the trip would end soon. During the trip, no one of them took the initiative to chat.
"You live in this cheap apartment?" Yuuka said innocently as she stopped in front of Akane's apartment. Suddenly it made another girl glare at her.
"I don't want to spend a lot of money just on housing."
Yuuka just nodded her head. Just as Akane was about to get out of her car, Yuuka said again. "You won't invite me in?"
Ah.. that smile again. Seriously, Sugai? Akane took a deep breath. Predicting what would happen next if she invite someone's fiancé into her house. Maybe there will be rumors circulating on the school's public blog tomorrow morning. However, Akane thought too far ahead. To the extent that she didn't realize that Yuuka had gotten out of her car, she waited patiently for Akane to come out.
There was no chance for Akane to refuse. Yuuka was too smart to make her interlocutors refuse. With shuffled steps, Akane walked towards her room while Yuuka followed behind her.
"Sit down. I only have tea for today. Is that okay? ” Akane asked when they were inside the room.
"I'm fine with everything." Yuuka answered, then she sat down on a chair at the dining table. Noticed Akane took two cups and heated the water in a water heater.
Yuuka remembered her hallucinations earlier. No, the memory that was a year ago. Maybe because she found Akane reading the student profile book earlier, she became a little worried. She is not ready if one day the big secret exposed.
Akane returned moments later with two cups of hot tea. She also brought small snacks such as Oreos and wafers. The girl sat across from Yuuka, naturally leaving a normal distance between them. Again, they were silent. Nobody tried to start a conversation. Actually Yuuka had already prepared some topics, but seeing that Akane was not really interested in her she chose to cancel her intention of starting first.
"Since you attended at Sakurazaka, we never introduced ourselves normally." Yuuka finally spoke.
"I already know with you." Akane answered in a flat tone. “Who doesn't know Sugai Yuuka. A popular student who is rude to a student who just stepping her foot at Sakurazaka." she continued with sarcasm.
Yuuka smiled sadly at Akane's answer. She had expected that Akane would answer her with a hint of sarcasm.
“Then.. my name is Sugai Yuuka. My class is next to yours." Yuuka said. She then continued. "It's nice to meet you, personally." She flashed a smile after that.
Akane certainly felt funny about Yuuka's behavior. Especially when Yuuka finished with her introduction and looked at Akane with a look like a cat waiting to be fed. She steals a glance at the ring on Yuuka's left ring finger, warning to limit herself to the fact that Yuuka is Yui's fiancée.
For God's sake, Akane wanted to shot herself because she never paid attention to Yuuka before. And now that they were alone, she could see Yuuka's face very clearly. Akane would be lying if she said she didn't like Yuuka's face. For information, only the face, not the person.
Yui is really lucky to have a wife like Yuuka.
Shaking off all her thoughts on Yuuka, as well as trying to avoid the girl's sweet smile, Akane answered simply. "Yeah. It's not nice to meet you."
"How rude!" Yuuka pretended to be disappointed by Akane's answer. She suddenly remembered the book Akane had read in the library this afternoon. "by the way. About the book you read in the library.."
“I'm just looking for a student who died a year ago. You're the student council president, you must know about that incident right?"
It was difficult for Yuuka to answer. She confused whether to say yes or no. In this case, she was afraid that Akane asked her further and she would expose what she shouldn't have said. At least Yuuka knew what Karin was feeling at that time, and she hoped that Risa didn't her caught off guard like this.
"Yes. I know." Yuuka finally replied. Of course after gathering determination from within her. "That incident.. was terrible."
Akane looked at Yuuka seriously. It made Yuuka feel uneasy, even though she was still a professional. She kept her facial expression normal, calm despite her panic and frantic feelings.
"Is the school really spends so much to close a case?" Akane replied. She then sipped her tea which had become warm. She then took a piece of wafer, chewed it slowly. "Basic rich people.."
Confused about right words for her to answer, Yuuka gave a silent thanksgiving for her phone vibrating at the right time. She took her cellphone from her blazer pocket, the screen showing a name. She touched the accept call option and pressed the electronic device to her ear.
“Yuuka, it's Yumiko. Listen, something happened and we should gather at Hono's house."
"Is something bad happened?"
"Hard to explain it.. you better come here soon. As soon as possible."
Yuuka swallowed her own saliva. Again, something bad will happen. "I'll be there." With that, Yuuka hung up on the phone. She then looked at Akane with a sad look. "Looks like I have to go, Moriya."
Akane smiled faintly. "That's good."
“Eh, why is your response like that? Don't miss me after this, okay?”
How many times Yuuka had made Akane sigh in frustration. Seriously, that behavior is annoying!
“Sugai, we just got to know each other and you are talking like that. What are you? A player?" she answered Yuuka's teasing with a slight annoyance.
While the other girls smiled. Then answer in a playful manner. "Yes, I am."
Yuuka then finished her cup of tea in one gulp before escaping out of Akane's apartment. Akane herself saw Yuuka's car moving away from the front of her apartment, immediately looking around. Worried if someone else is taking their picture secretly, then post it on to the school blog.
