It was finally weekend. In the morning I woke up and found Arisa slowly breathing next to me. What kept possessing her in the last week, seemed to be gone.
She looked tired and so I let her sleep and prepared us breakfast.
„Good morning, Arisa... did you sleep well."
I asked her when she entered the main room.
„Morning, Tomoka.", she said and kissed me on her way to the bathroom.
After breakfast we packed up and set out to the beach. When we got outside, I realized, that my mobile phone is not with me.
„Wait for me here, I have to return for my phone."
It was lying on the table as I assumed. I didn't want Arisa to wait too long and ran back right away.
„I am back. You can..."
She was nowhere around.
„Arisa! Where are you? Come out... we have to go."
She didn't reply.
„Don't fool around, we have to leave."
No reply.
„Arisa!"
„Arisa, where are you?!"
„Arisa!"
I started to panic.
(What happened? She wouldn't continue such a prank too long. Did anything happen to her? Did anyone kidnap her? Why? Why would anyone want to steal her from me? WHY?!)
I wanted to board the car and drive around to look for her, but my legs were not able to move.
While holding the phone in my hand I looked at it.
(This phone! If I would not return for it, she could be still here!)
I wanted to smash it to the ground, but then something stopped me...
(I could call her.)
I called her phone, but it was turned off.
(No!)
Then I called Ando...
„Hello, onee-chan... what..."
„Ando! Arisa is gone! Something had to happen to her!"
„Wait... calm down. We will help to look for her. Where are you now?"
„In front of my house."
„Try to look around, we will be there soon."
Ando hung up and I again tried to call her, but there was no reply.
(Maybe she went to buy something to the convenience store.)
I ran there, but it didn't seem, that she was there today and so I check also the other side of our street, but she was nowhere around.
When Ando and others arrived I was just sitting next to my car and crying.
„Ando! Who could do anything to her? Why they stole her from me?"
Suddenly my mood changed. It was not my style to helplessly cry on the street and I became angry.
„Who ever could do such a thing... they are already dead!"
„Calm down... we will find her. Let's go, guys!"
Ando and others left in their cars to all directions and I returned back home to have a drink of water.
In the kitchen I noticed a piece of paper, which I found there last weekend and let it lie there. A letter from a private detective.
„Hello."
„Oh, hello... this is an office of private detective Karex... what can I do for you?"
„My... friend... disappeared and I need to find her."
„Didn't she just hide somewhere or did you argue with her?"
„No. She wouldn't do such a thing and we didn't argue. We planned to go to a beach, but she disappeared when I returned home for my phone. Someone had to kidnap her."
„I see... what is your and your friend's name?"
„Akihara Tomoka is my name and she is Nakano Arisa."
„And where are you now?"
„At my home."
„Can you give me your address? I need to know from where I should start."
I gave him my home address as he required.
„Thanks. I will begin the search. Give me one hour. I will then call you back to this number, okay?"
„Thanks."
I hung up.
(What shall I do now?)
There was nothing I could do and I wanted to stay at home in case she would return back and so I took a nap.
About one hour later I had a phone call. It was from Ando. They searched around, but didn't find her anywhere.
Just when we hung up, I got another call.
„I found her and she is alright."
It was from that detective.
„Really? Where is she? What happened to her?"
„She is alright, but your assumption was right. She was kidnapped."
„Who is that corpse? I will visit them right away!"
„Please calm down. You can't do anything now and alone. I suggest you to build an army first and then go there together with them."
„Army? I would rather expect you to suggest me calling police."
„I am a private detective, not related to government... my motto is to win at any cost. Police are just like rules. It's better to not bother with them."
„You seem to think my way."
„So, who is that dead man?"
„Your father."
(Ah... I thought we had a deal. Did that other corpse blabbed him about Arisa? Or was it someone else now?)
„Do you know where she is?"
„Yes. But don't go there alone. They could move her somewhere else and then it might be hard to track her."
(I am so angry! Why my father can't let me live my own life?!)
„So, where is Arisa?"
„I will better tell you tomorrow. First prepare for it well and I will pick you up at your place at the noon."
He didn't want to tell me where Arisa exactly is and maybe it was better, otherwise I would run there right away.
„Fine."
I hung up and called Ando again.
„Sorry, onee-chan... we are not able to find her."
„Ando!"
„Yes?!"
„Prepare an army, we are going into battle tomorrow! I managed to find her... thanks to one private detective and he knows where she is. But we need to prepare first. Gather whole gang and hire also others... anyone... I will send you all my money. Feel free to spend it all, we will get her home at any cost! Victory is the only option. Either we will return with Arisa or we will not return alive!"
That maybe were too heavy words, but I really meant them.
„Yes, boss!"
„And find also some non lethal weapons. Choose the best ones yourself."
„Yes, boss!"
We will go into a battle, but I still didn't want to kill anyone... or at least not in this moment.
I hung up and sent Ando almost all my personal money... about 20 000 000 Yen.
Others had their task and I needed to prepare myself too. I owned many costumes, but not the right one for this mission and so I headed to Tokyo Tower.
When I bought there everything necessary, I returned home and took a rest and fell asleep fast just after dinner.
„Good morning, Arisa."
I told her, but she didn't reply.
(Ahh... how can I stay calm and wait till the noon?!)
„Ando! Are you ready?!"
„Yes, boss! We are prepared."
„Fine, then meet me at the noon in front of my house."
„Yes!"
I tried to play the game or read internet news, but everything was boring. When the noon was about to come, I packed up and waited outside the house.
Suddenly a car stopped next to me and a man got out of it.
„Hello. Are you Akihara-san?"
„Yes."
„Nice to meet you. I am Karex... the detective."
„Mmm... you look familiar. Didn't we meet before?"
„I would remember it. So, shall we go?"
„Not yet... they... oh, they are here."
A big colony was approaching our position. There was Ando with the moving van, other members driving their cars or motorbikes and some other unknown cars.
„Boss, we are here!"
„Thanks."
„So where are we going?", I asked Karex.
He told me the address...
(Ah... I could guess that too.)
She was in my father's mansion in countryside.
„Ok, let's go... toward Nanbu!"
I boarded Karex's car. Following one car would be highly ineffective and so we agreed on meeting close to the address I gave them.
Our destination was one village near Nanbu, but we decided to gather there first and discuss further plans.
While driving, Karex tried to calm me down and we also talked about my equipment.
„So what all did you prepare?"
I showed him all my equipment and he was quite impressed.
After about 3 hours we arrived to the destination and met with others.
We agreed on me going to meet my father alone. Karex and others will stay not far from the mansion... to not be spotted by anyone from inside.
The mansion was surrounded by a sturdy wall. I got to a big gate and pressed a button to inform anyone inside, that a visitor arrived.
„Who is that?", said some male voice, probably a butler.
„Akihara Tomoka, let me inside."
„Oh, sure."
The door opened and I walked in. The mansion was not too far from the gate, about 100 meters and when I was approaching its main door, my father was already standing there.
„Where is Arisa?", I shouted at him.
„It is nice to see you here again, my daughter."
„Where is Arisa, I asked!"
„Who?"
„Don't play dumb! I knew, that you kidnapped her!"
„Calm down and follow me into my guest room."
I followed him there and sat into a chair.
„So where is she, why did you kidnap her?"
„When one of my men saw you kissing her, they informed me about it and I had to know the truth. So my men just asked her to visit me and I found what it was about. Such a relationship would have no future and she agreed with me."
„What do you mean, that she agreed?"
„She said, that staying with you was just for money and so I paid her 30 000 000 Yen and she ran away with it. Who knows where she is now."
„WHAT?!"
(Arisa took money and left me? What nonsense is that? I don't believe it! She never wanted any my money... no... that must be a lie.)
„I don't believe you! Where is she?"
„If you don't believe me, then I have nothing else to say. Please leave."
As he said it, two tough men entered the room. I was dressed in my normal clothes and equipped only with nunchaku. Hitting one of them would not help Arisa in any way and they could do something to her later... if she is still here. So I rather decided to leave.
„Fine."
„Calm down and we can talk about it later."
„Sure."
I left the mansion and headed back to the gang. While walking on the road toward them, I met a police car riding in the opposite direction.
(Oh, that large group of cars standing in one place might be suspicious. I hope, that everyone is alright.)
