Probably gathering courage to talk to you. Said akira.
(Laughs) Oh your father is such a nervous guy. Said Miss asuka
Makoto arrived in his casuals. He was looking like a 25 year old super model with bicep veins easily visible,shredded forearms and a sharp jawline.(Looking good😎)

Wowwwwwww that's super exciting Miss asuka. Said akira sarcasticly.
Damn little rascal! (Makoto gave a steaming hot slap on akira's head) don't mind him Miss asuka he is just a naive boy. Said makoto.
Oh don't worry Mr makoto. he is adorable even when he's a troublemaker. Said Miss asuka with a bright smile.
Thank you for understanding Miss asuka. Said makoto.

Yes dear and don't be shy around him i know you are shy around him but he is a good person. Said Miss asuka
Let's go Miss asuka. Said makoto.
Yes. Bye suzume bye akira.
Miss asuka went on the date with makoto.
Well it looks like me and you are alone now suzume. Wanna watch a movie? Asked akira.
Suzume is looking a bit scared.
What happened suzume? You look uneasy. Said akira.
Akira I have to tell you something. Said suzume with a vulnerable look in her eyes.
Akira got a bit concerned
What is it? Asked akira
It's about shiragi.said suzume
Shiragi ? What is it? Asked akira.
Let me tell you everything I have seen. Said suzume.
Suzume told akira everything about how Miss asuka trust shiragi because he is a man in his 50s who lives alone and he has a good reputation in the neighbourhood. He has helped Miss asuka many times in the past and because of that she trust him very much but he is not as good as he sounds.
Shiragi is a deceivous thief who is a master at lockpicing.
How do you know about these things suzume? Asked akira
It's because once when mom was on work and asked shiragi to check on me every once in a while he...he. stopped suzume.
He what? Asked akira
I saw him opening mom's vault. He took money from it and he noticed me.said suzume.
Since the day shiragi found out that suzume knows about his truth he kept her quiet by threatening to harm her mother if she told about this to anyone.
He kept on doing this deceivous theft for months he came one day checked the vault for cash and jwellery and the other day he came back with fake stack of cash and jwellery same as the ones in vault. He kept on stealing from miss asuka like this while keeping suzume at knife point.
What the hell?! Such bastard! Muttered akira with anger.
I have seen him peeking. Said suzume.
Peeking? What do you mean? Asked akira
Sometimes when mom is at work and he is at our home he stares at me and I have sometimes seen him peeking inside the bathroom when I am inside. Said suzume with tears in her eyes.
Akira felt like he can vomit. The old perverted bastard peeks on a 12 year old girl!
He is a monster! Let's deal with him today! Said Akira.
How? Asked suzume.
I have a plan. Trust me Suzume. Said akira with a confident smile.
(Bell rings) Suzume open the door it's me.an old voice
Suzume opened the door and standing there was a tall thin man with an appealing smile and wrinkles over his face.
Hello suzume. Said shiragi
H-h-hello s-sir. Stutterd suzume.
Shiragi sat down knees bent and touched suzume's face.
Don't be scared suzume. Said shiragi his finger over suzume's lip.
Hello shiragi. Said akira with a confident tone.
Shiragi got up and looked at akira
You are makoto's son right? Asked shiragi
Yes I am . Said akira.
Hmmm. Calling anything elderly man by his name you sure are mannerless. Said shiragi with disapproval.
Oh I am so sorry sir. Said akira sarcasticly.
Haha like father like son. Said shiragi and came in to the living room.
Have you children have your lunch? Asked shiragi.
No sir we haven't. Said suzume while looking down.
Ok then let's give you two your food first. Said shiragi.
After setting up the table and bringing food.
Everything is ready you two can have your lunch now. Said shiragi.
Aren't you eating with us shiragi. Said akira.
Again mannerless. No i am not eating with mannerless child like you and beside i already had lunch at my home. Said shiragi
Shiragi came close to suzume and placed his hand on her shoulder.
Make sure to eat a lot suzume.(He came close and whispered in her ear) I would love to see you a bit chubby (his warm breath sending fearful shivers down suzume's spine).
Let her eat now shiragi. Said akira with a stern look.
Yes i will besides I have some business here I have to settle. Said shiragi and went to the main bedroom.
Tears falling in suzume's soup.
A-a-akira I don't like him. Said suzume tears falling down her cheeks.
Akira came close and hugged suzume.
Don't worry I am here for you. Said akira with a protective feel.
T-thank you. Said suzume clinging to akira as she felt protected.
He is in your mom's bedroom time to put the plan in action. Said akira
O-ok but are you sure it will work? Asked suzume a bit scared.
I don't know but we have to try . You know what we have to do right? Asked akira
Yes we have to make him fall as you said and try binding him with the string of the fishing rod and I know what i have to do. Said suzume.
Good i will go to the bedroom now. Said akira and picked up a tennis ball in his hand heading towards the bedroom.
Akira peeked inside the bedroom and saw shiragi opening the vault as he expected.
Meanwhile in the kitchen suzume is trying to climb the kitchen counter with a basket of decoration marbles in her hand.
One two three! Suzume gave herself a push and managed to climb up.
She accidentally dragged the cloth on the kitchen counter along with her making the big vase fall on the kitchen floor shattering into pieces.
Akira and shiragi both heard the sound.
What was that? Said shiragi
At that moment the tennis ball hit him right on his nose.
Ahhh! What the hell? Said shiragi his hand on his nose .
How did you like that you perverted thief. Said akira.
You! Stop right there you hell scum! Said shiragi and ran after akira
Akira also started running and shouted.
Suzume get ready!
Suzume was standing on the kitchen counter with the basket of marble in her hand not noticing that the broken vase was under on the floor as she is too caught up in the moment.
Shiragi came running after akira.
Akira crossed the door frame signalling suzume.
Suzume threw the marbles on the floor as soon as she saw akira cross by her.
Seconds later shiragi came running he didn't noticed the marbles on the floor. He fall and pat!
A blood freezing scream came out of shiragi's mouth as he fell face first directly on the broken vase.
Akira and suzume realised what has happened their plan has turned into something far worse.
AHHHH! NO NO NO AHHHHAAAHHA!! It hurts! Screamed shiragi rolling over the floor his hand on the place covered in blood which used to be his eye.
He stood up half dizzy from the pain his whole face bleeding as the broken vase has pierced it .his eye which was bursted. Blood coming out of his eye socket.
You kids! You fucking hell spawns. Shiragi rushed towards suzume.
He grabbed suzume's face.
Ahhh! No leave me! Akira help! Get off! Ahhhhh! Shouted suzume trying to get out of shiragi's grip.
You smell nice. Said shiragi sniffing suzume like an Animal.
I can use you to ease my pain! Said shiragi.
Shiragi sat on top of suzume licking her face.
No no no no! Ahhhh get away! Suzume is trembling and screaming out of fear.
Akira stood their no expressions on his face just looking as shiragi half dizzy trying to undress suzume who is screaming and trying to get away from him.
Let's see if your son is as good as you in bed sakura.
Won't you make uncle toma feel good dear akira. Hahahaha!
No! Stop mom help me! save me. Mommmmmmmm!!!!!!
Memories of his past rushing in his mind creeping into his soul making him remember The years of his torment. The years of nightmare . The years of reflection from his mother pain caused by toma all came in at once!
He saw himself in suzume his past his desperate attempts to get away from that monster of a man his screams and toma's laughs he felt suzume's helplessness,suzume's fear, suzume's despair .
Akira's eyes red with rage.
Toma. I will kill you
Akira picked up a knife from the kitchen counter and lunged at shiragi.
Shiragi fell down as akira lunged at him.
Akira on top of shiragi now. Stabbing his whole face scratching it like a menace with the knife
I WILL KILL YOU TOMA! YOU MONSTER I WON'T LET YOU HURT ME! AHHHHHHH! DIE DIE DIE DIE!
Leave me stop this! Shiragi getting weakened from all the blood loss and pain.
Flesh tearing and spilling all over akira's face blood spilling screams filling the entire house as akira kept on ravaging shiragi with the knife.
Ahhhh! Stop bastard!
In a desperate attempt of an head butt wanting to stop akira shiragi moved his head towards akira.
Splash!
The knife went through the bursted eye socket straight into shiragi's skull piercing his brain.
Suzume finally got up and saw akira on top of a lifeless shiragi breathing heavily.
His hands and face are covered in blood and flesh no expressions on his face.
I killed you as I said toma! Said akira
Suzume wasn't able to handle the scene and fell unconscious.
Akira still sitting on top of the dead shiragi! he can't process what happened?! everything was so sudden!
(Door opens) Today was so amazing Mr makoto.Miss asuka
Yes today was indeed amazing miss asuka I hope we can go on dates like this more often. Said makoto with a little blush.
Of course we can I would love to but let's rest for now let me bring you some water. Said Miss asuka and went to the kitchen for a surprise.
Thank you Miss asuka. Said makoto.
Ahhhhhhhh!
Miss asuka's scream filled the house
Makoto came rushing into the kitchen.
Oh my god. Shouted makoto.
He saw suzume unconscious on the floor and akira on top of shiragi's body the knife sticking out of his eye socket.
What is this? Mmmm! Said Miss asuka and vomited as she can't handle the bloody torment in front of her.
Makoto rushed towards akira.
What the fuck is this boy?! ANSWER ME! Shouted makoto.
Dad. Said akira.
Yes what the hell is This! Said makoto barely maintaing his composure.
Dad i killed toma. Said akira and fell unconscious.
Makoto quickly caught akira in his arms.
Hey wake up akira! You killed shiragi not toma! What are you saying?! Said makoto.
Makoto looked at shiragi's body.
He saw toma in him. Something happened which brought his past back. I am sorry son I am sorry suzume. You two suffered so much while we were enjoying! Said makoto with tears in his eyes.
I will find out everything that happened here. Said makoto.
What should we do now Mr makoto? Asked Miss asuka her legs shaking out of fear.
We are not going to do anything. Only I will.
To be continued.
