Chapter 25: Death of Hideo pt.1

"Alright then I guess I'll start from the beginning." [Name] said looking at her. "Well after I left I went to go and check out the world. I left by boat on this boat and went to a city named Fairbell. You think it's tough here that place was absolutely crawling with criminals. I lived there for a while because the first day I was there I got robbed and you weren't able to leave the city unless you paid to leave." [Name] said looking at her.

"So how long where you there?" Ryuko asked.

"Well I never left until I came back so around nine years." [Name] said looking at her.

"What happened?" Ryuko asked.

"Well leaving in a city like this you leaned pretty fast how to survive just by watching what other people did. It wasn't until about my second year there that I did actually meet Hideo. He took me to his base." [Name] said looking at her.

"Base?" Ryuko questioned.

"Yeah Hideo had his own little "gang" I guess you could say. You see the reason the city was in such bad shape was because of one particular family that owned all of the city. You couldn't do any thing unless you had their approval. So Hideo at the young age of twelve decided to put a stop to them." [Name] said looking at her.

"I take it that it didn't go well." Ryuko said looking at him.

"Yeah things went down hill around the end. The first few years wasn't really focused on getting rid of the family it was focused on getting more members. As we gained numbers our attacks on the family grew more and more direct making sure we crippled them in someway. Over the years we had come close to having one thousand members. Zero and the twins were some of the people that we had come to know over the years that were more serious about bringing them down." [Name] said averting his head out to the ocean.

"Sounds like you were serious about this family." Ryuko said looking at him.

"Yeah although it wasn't all serious we had our share of laughs and camaraderie. We all knew and cared for each other. For a while times were good. We did lose some people here and there but what we gained from their death proved that no died in vain." [Name] said looking at her.

"So when things go south?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"Well despite having close to nothing wrong with him Hideo did have one weakness. One thing that could be used against him one thing that completely and utterly destroyed him." [Name] said looking down over the edge where he and Ryuko were sitting.

"What was that?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"Her name was Sapphire." [Name] said looking at her.

"So was she like his mom his girlfriend his little sister?" Ryuko asked looking at him. Silence then rolled in behind her voice and something just didn't seem right. "Or was she something more?" Ryuko asked.

"Sapphire was his daughter." [Name] said as a tear steamed down his face. Ryuko's eyes widened

"Someone who had nothing at all to do with the main family but because Hideo cared for her. The main family decided the quickest way to get to him was to take her away from him." [Name] said looking down at the ground.

"Sapphire was his daughter then were was the mother?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"Amelia his girlfriend soon to be wife died giving birth to her." [Name] said looking at her.

"So what happened?" Ryuko said looking at him.

"Well everything changed for Hideo in one week." [Name] said looking at her.

FLASHBACK

[Name], Hideo, and the twins were walking down the streets. Heading towards the base the Hideo and the Twins had constructed. When they arrived they were greeted with the familiar sight they had grown used to. The sight of several men around doing several different things.

"Hey everyone "The elite four" are back." A man with large muscles said in booming voice. "Lets hear it how did the mission go?" He said and everyone gathered around.

Hideo smiled and announced in his calm voice "We burned their supplies to the ground I'd say we just set them back by two weeks." Hideo said looking at them. Once this was said everyone let out a loud cheer.

"You hear that everyone We're one step closer to bringing the Star family to their knees." The man said standing on a table.

"You know It's nice to see everyone in high spirits. EVERYONE DRINKS ON ME!" A man in formal black suit said as he kicked over a cooler and several drinks fell out.

The elite four went to a different room and it looked entirely different from every other part of the base. For starts the room walls weren't made of metal they had been painted over they had been painted to have a light blue back round with roses painted on it and a few rose petals that had been looked as if they were in the wind.

Hideo smiled as he walked over to the two things that was in the center of the room. A man with black hair and was sitting on a chair that was right beside a small bed. Hideo smiled as he approached and looked at Zero. "How was she?" Hideo asked.

"No she's been asleep until recently." Zero said.

Hideo then looked down at his two year old girl. She had Palatinate blue hair and eyes that matched her name sake. Who was playing on the floor she had a solid white rabbit stuffed animal she was playing with. That was until she noticed Hideo. When she saw him she ran over to him "DADDY!" She yelled out joy and hugged his legs.

Hideo then looked down at her and spoke. "Good morning princess." He then reached down and picked her up off the ground and placing her on his shoulders. "How's daddies favorite girl in the world doing?" He asked rubbing noses with her.

"I'm great uncle Zero came to keep me company while you were gone. He even sang a song for me when I got scared!" She said looking at him.

"Oh really now." Hideo said looing at Zero who turned his head away a light blush covering his face. "So let me get this straight you have no problem betraying your father to help bring down your family but you apparently have a soft spots for little girls who are afraid of the dark." Hideo said looking at him.

"Whatever." Zero said standing up." I got to go I need to finish up what we've been working on." Zero said leaving the room.

"Who knew he had such a soft spot." [Name] said looking at him. [Name] then felt a tug at his sleeve. He looked down to see sapphire tugging on his shirt. "What do you want squeaker?" [Name] asked getting down to eye level with the girl.

The girl then looked at him and said "You're making my birthday cake right?" She asked looking at him.

"Yeah in fact I already got it made." [Name] said looking at her. The girls eyes became stars as she looked up at him.

"Can I see it? Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I?" The girl asked jumping up and down while holding his sleeve.

"Sorry Sapphire you can't see it yet but how about me and your dad take you to the park instead." [Name] said looking at her.

"Yeah I get to go to the park with daddy and uncle [Name]!" The girl said running back and forth across the room.

She almost ran out the door but Hideo stopped her. "Not until you get your shoes on." Hideo said looking at her. He picked her up walked over to the chair and sat on the chair. "Hand me her shoes [Name]." Hideo said not looking at him.

He then felt two small items hit his head. He turned his head to see that the twins were chuckling. He then picked up her shoes and placed them on her feet. "Alright now we can go to the park." Hideo said walking past them his daughters hand in his.

FLASHBACK END

"He sounded like a good dad." Ryuko said looking at him

"Yeah he wanted to make Amelia proud. You see before she died she wanted Hideo to be a good father. You better than the other fathers in the city were. So he tried to be the best father someone could ask for." [Name] said looking at her.

"So what happened next?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"Something that will never be wiped from our memories." [Name] said looking at her.

FLASHBACK

[Name], Hideo, The twins, and Zero where walking back to the base. Hideo was carrying the sleeping form of Sapphire in his arms. Her body close to his and her hands gripping onto his shirt in her sleep.

However when they opened the door they were greeted with a scene they had not seen before. Hideo was so shocked that he had almost dropped Sapphire from his arms.

Dead bodies were everywhere in the base and floor was practically painted red with blood. Each one of the bodies had been not just killed but absolutely brutally murdered. It ranged from one having his rib cage torn open with his heart missing to one body being completely unrecognizable as a person. The smell of iron from the blood was so strong that for a while it was all any of them could smell.

Hideo walked to Sapphires room and place her down on her bed. However he found a piece of paper folded on a dresser beside her bed. Hideo looked at it and saw it had a golden star on it.

He opened it up and all it said was "She's next." Hideo's eyes widened as he looked at Sapphire. He shook his head free of these thoughts and crumbled up the paper and threw it away. He then walked outside and looked at [Name] and the others.

"They will be coming back." Hideo said looking at them. "We should get this place cleaned up before Sapphire wakes up tomorrow." Hideo said as he looked at the men and women that were on the floor.

"Y-Yeah we should get started." Zero said as he picked up a body and started to drag it outside.

After the five had gotten all the bodies outside and in one pile. Hideo poured some gas on them and looked at the others. "Would any one like to lead us in saying goodbye?" Hideo asked.

"I'll go." Zero said stepping forward. Hideo nodded walked to stand by the others. "For our loss-" He began only to be joined by the others "We greave."

[Name] Then started "For our comrades-" and like the others was joined in by the others. "We weep."

The twins then started "For the fallen-" and like the others were joined in "We remember."

Hideo then turned around and began "And for ourselves-" the others then looked at him. "We seek revenge." Hideo then lit the bodies on fire. "Good bye our friends we pray that your souls find peace in the next life." Hideo said as he and the others watched the flames burn.

FLASHBACK END

"So you burned your friends?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"Yeah the Star family wouldn't allow the dead friends of Hideo to be buried so we had to make due with what we had. So we decided that if anyone were to die all the members would gather we would burn their body and say a short prayer for them." [Name] said looking at her.
