“They found us?” asked Keru who was very confused at the moment
“That guy was send to either take you or kill you. They probably know my intention ” said Zedd with a serious cold look in his eyes
“S..someone wants to….kill me?.....but who? and why?” asked Keru
“The one who wants to kill you…is the leader of one of the biggest and most dangerous gangs in the world{shocked Keru opened his eyes at that moment }…..” said Zedd
“What the hell? Why would he want to kill me?.” said Keru while trembling with wide opened eyes
“I get that you are confused right now…..but you won’t be after I tell you everything that happened.
That would answer all our questions about your past…….It is time…..to tell you the truth.” said Zedd
“The truth?” asked Keru
“Yes. Please sit down…. everyone, you should hear this too.” said Zedd “Sigh! Where should I begin?
Um...Do you remember anything about your mother?
Do you remember a time where she took you to a train station and told you to leave?”
(That Dream!) Keru remembered the dream he always had “so this was…..Mom?” He asked
“What was that?” asked Zedd
“I always had a dream about a lady taking me to a train station and she tells me to leave as she cries so…. that lady was Mom after all huh.
That explains why I felt sad every time I had this dream.” said Keru
“Except that.
this wasn’t a dream.
It is a memory of a real event that took place when you were little.”
Keru’s shock increased at that moment.
His trembling increased and he held his hair tightly.
His eyes were wide opened, He remembered everything that happened at the train station.
(Flashback)
Little Keru got out of the mansion, he was holding onto his mother’s hand. He asked :
“Mom where are we going?”
Without an answer, she kept walking toward a car, that both of them got into.
When Keru looked at the driver, it was Zedd, he took them to the nearby train station, and all of them waited until the train arrived.
“Your train arrived, Keru “ she said with warm eyes and a smile
“But Mom! Aren’t you coming?” asked little Keru
“I will be after you soon.
But you must go now sweetie.” she said
“But Mom!
I don’t wanna go! Egh ehhhhh!” said Keru as he began crying
With falling tears she hugged him, then she faced him and said :
“Keru…..remember, even if I wasn’t near you
I will always be here…” she placed her hand palm on his heart
“You will be…
here?” he asked
“Yes.
Whenever you get scared remember that!
Remember that I will always love you.
I will always be cheering for you no matter what.” she said
“Now….don’t miss your train…...go….Keru.”
(Flashback ends)
Keru began dripping tears. He said:
“You...were there….
tell me….
tell me everything…”
Zedd took off his glasses and took a deep breath then he spoke :
“Sep/19/1975, eight students at Fuji Harbor high school decided to make an order…..rather a gang….the leader was 16 years old. The gang was still a secret at that time,
but as days passed more than 700 hundred students joined it…
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Then they started stealing, ganging on people and spreading drug, alcohol and corruption. And eventually….They became the strongest gang in the city.
However….
After many years of success and growing, the gang members began to form and isolate themselves into groups and these groups began to fight for independence.
The famous gang began splitting into gangs,
The gang members began to kill each other, steal each other and hurt each other….
The strongest group was always the leading group….
And when the leader saw that, He decided to run away before things get bad.
He traveled away and started his own company.
This man’s name is…..
Kurmayasha Soru…
Your father.”
“N….No way!”
“Father was….” said Keru
“ A criminal!
Yet when he married Kiyoko Haru, your mother,
she only knew him as a businessman, she had no idea about his dark past.
Few years later, the old members began to recognize him and they wanted him back in charge promising him that the gang has been united once again by the seven founders and they named him the leader again.
Your father accepted the offer, without even thinking about you or your mother, and he was named the leader of the gang
the other seven founders are his original classmates who started the gang at Fuji Harbor. They were named Co-leaders for the gang; in order to control it.
When your mother discovered that….
She tried to run away from him but he was always one step ahead of her, until she met me your cousin….
She told me about a secret entrance to the mansion so I made up an escape plan.
She knew that they would find her if she escaped so…..
She decided to stay and let you escape, she thought that your life….
was way more precious than hers,
she decided to risk herself for your sake, giving you a clean future far from this mess,
she took you to the train station to say the final goodbye and she told me to look after you and raise you….
when your father knew about this….
He Killed her.{Keru wide opened his eyes at that moment}
After years when you grew up…
your father launched a search to find you……
Everything abnormal that happened since the day I quit my job wasn’t a coincidence…..
The blood you found at the house…. I had a cut on my hand while fighting a guy they sent to kidnap you. The Three boys who were hitting Semi…..
They all were agents of the gang...they were meant to do that act in front of you so they can implant Semi as a spy to track your movement. When she refused the mission…..
They started the act without her permission and she had to continue because she simply cannot tell you the truth…..
And I Kurmayasha Zedd am a member of the gang….My original mission was…..
To kill……
YOU and Haru-san.” said Zedd
With wide eyes full of shock Keru looked at Zedd, then ran at Zedd and grabbed his shirt and yelled:
“DO YOU THINK THIS IS FREAKING FUNNY! YOU ARE LYING THESE ARE ALL LIES….
THEY ARE LIES….
COME ON TELL ME THAT YOU ARE LYING “
Yet Zedd only gave him a cold look.
Keru then gave a PUNCH followed by PUNCHES and PUNCHES
Keru kept punching him while yelling:
“TELL ME THAT YOU ARE JOKING YOU F**KING BASTARD!”
Zedd then BLOCKED his next punch then he TWISTED his arm and PINNED his head to the ground with his knee.
“UGH!” shouted Keru
“Your father has made a challenge…..
He told his seven Co-leaders and the entire gang that the one who kills you would be the next leader….either that or……….
You reach him first and join him….
He would then give you all that power….
All the gang members and leaders would respect and listen to you…
You will have everything you desire……..
Countless of opportunities will be ahead of you.
What I just told you was the whole truth….
About your past.” said Zedd
Keru then settled down and said:
“so..my life…
was full of lies.”
Zedd then replied:
“My request is simple…. {Zedd let Keru’s grip loose}
I will give you the choice to decide which path do you want to follow….
So…
Do you want to join your father and become the next leader?
Or …..
Revenge?”
Keru got up and glared at Zedd
“I will support whatever decision you make” said Zedd
“How did he kill her?” asked Keru
“Are you sure you want to hear this?” asked Zedd
Keru answered with an irritated tone “Just tell me.”
“He….
Acted as if nothing happened and when she went to sleep……
He…..He gathered the seven and few men of the gang and burned the house in front of us, she died in the fire….
On our way home she said her very last words…”I love you Keru…..be safe” I was there but I couldn’t do anything, Haru-san knew she was going to die at that night and she was fully prepared……
so what did you decide?” said Zedd
Keru was looking at the ground.
He closed his eyes and remembered his mother and the life that Zedd offered to him.
He remembered his friends…
Then he opened his eyes and raised his head and said:
“I…..
I will Kill Kurmayasha Soru!
I will never forgive him for what he did…...
I must absolutely KILL HIM!”
Zedd then glared at Keru and said:
“HAH!” and he let his guard down “Finally!
This was a rock in my chest, I was afraid that you would choose the gang!”
“Like I will!” said Keru
“Good Job Keru!” said Lucy
“Don’t worry we are always here! We will help you!” said Rin
“We are also in the same school!” said Yuki
“Thank you guys!” said Keru
“Now, let’s be serious…
You don’t expect to get revenge with the way you are now…
You are too damn weak!” Said Zedd
“How strong is Soru?” asked Yumena
“Strong enough to keep 350,000 men under control in one place.” Zedd replied
“Hah!
I will defeat him no matter what!” said Keru
“ okay then…
Starting tomorrow we will start our first training!” said Zedd
