Eighteen

Yachi.

I read the news article and it makes my stomach turn to have society actually give a damn about those two crooks.

Scum of the earth pretending to give a damn about them.

It makes sick to realise just how much power money has over society. What a joke.

I turn to Magenta who wakes up. She smiles at me, I'm guessing things are going well.

"Update?" I sit down ready to get the good news, I forgot what I was actually planning to do before reading the paper, I don't even read the paper, it's just that Kai and Toya were on the front page

"Toya is almost at his breaking point, but, he would never kill her, no matter how hard I push him he resists wholeheartedly, but the damage I did was enough. Kai is different story, psychologically, I really don't how his mind works. It's empty most of the time, and when I finally get something out of him he kicks me out.

"Rei I have been having a lot of fun with. I managed to turn her against Toya, she hates him. Soon, I will have a strong enough grip on them to kill them in their sleep." She reports yawning.

"Uh huh, well, I don't want you to kill them. I want you to kill the children. They will live to regret every single day of their lives, just torment them a little longer first. When they least expect it, snuff those brats out."

"Of course. Consider it done."

"Good, I am going to crush the men who broke my heart, but I want to destroy Toya Hiryu more, I loved him, and to him I was nothing but a petty revenge. I gave up everything to be with him, and as soon as he grew tired of me he tossed me aside like I was nothing. So don't you dare relent with his suffering, he will rue the day he left me."

"But if he kills you?"

"I am fully prepared to die, when I go, make sure it's not in vain." I look her straight n the eyes, this isn't some petty revenge fantasy to me, this is real. I want to hurt him in the same way he hurt me.

I left my daughter, I loved her but I just loved him more. I thought about killing him over and over again, but my friends started dying one by one and their enemies lived on like it was nothing.

That's when I learned that death is mercy.

I will be a living curse upon this earth that will forever ensure that their hell on earth never siezes. They will never know peace as long as I am still alive, but I plan to make sure that even in my death their enemies come lining up.

Till death do us apart you both said. Death will never be the end, not even for a second.

Not Ever.

Rin Ise

The door swings open and Raena walks past me to the kitchen, why does she like hanging out in there? She can simply wish for her meals, something I wish I could do.

She's gotten stronger with dad's training. I'll trade powers one day.

I walk into the kitchen and she's having pizza with Taquilla. I notice her leg healing, "Is that what you were telling us about?" I ask referring to the healing leg.

She says she had her heart ripped out and in a split second Rei Arashi regenerated it like it was nothing. She got away and everyone presumed she was dead. Since then she has gone after all the people from her childhood who made her life hell.

Not all of them were easy targets, that's when she found out she regenerates. Finding out Rei was tied to the Hiryu family was a blow to our plans, but dad got desperate and now they've launched an attack.

No doubt we had a sudden attack on our family compound, this was Toya's doing. I've always known him to be a ruthless leader, but not a stupid one. He would never launch an attack with so few members. He has legions at his beckon call.

Every last one loyal to him, I can't say the same for us though. The Ise are splitting down the middle in multiple directions. I can't even be sure where I fall under, but if it was Toya, he would've walked away.

He'd start his own group, but I'm not like him. I owe him for looking out for me since we were kids, I cannot repay him back by going after the people he cares about. I've seen how he earns his men's loyalty.

He does so by finding out what they want to protect and helping them do it. Those like me who have nothing we care about he asks to care about his cause. I have an opportunity to walk away here I should take it.

I look up and Raena is just staring at me, I must have done that thing where I dose off. I heard nothing that she said.

"I'm sorry could you repeat that?"

She laughs at me, "I said yes, but I'm no longer healing as fast. In the end though that doesn't matter, I only have one last target on my list." She shows me a picture of the Riden family crest. She's been doing a lot of spying on him for years now.

I can't get involved, I won't, but I won't allow her to hurt Toya in anyway. Riden's death would not matter, but he's close with Rei, Raena would kill her too to get to him.

She'd kill anyone.

A monster that Kai Riden created, he deserves this. He really deserves it, to make an enemy out of such a loving person.

"To have turned such a pure light as you into darkness, Kai Riden deserves death. I will not allow you to harm those close to him, I will protect Kaiya and Rei, they do not deserve to be victims. You saw the consequences of that before, you'll stay dead this time around if you hurt them."

She shrugs her shoulders, "Depends on them. Should they wish to protect him they will die for it. There will be no room for mercy when going after Kai Riden, no room for mistakes. I can't promise you there won't be any collateral. So, kill me now, I'll come back to life and I will kill you."

"Don't go around making enemies unnecessarily. I've lived in the darkness all my life, there are plenty of enemies that will come after you for no damn reason, you don't need to create any, you certainly do not wish to start a war with the Hiryu's.

"They are the most powerful and have the most incredible abilities on their side. I don't care if you can resurrect, or regenerate, they can do much more. You will be too dead to see it."

"I'll take a friendly warning then, if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting ready for my war." She brushes past me and I turn around, my father and two brothers are watching me.

"Really Rin? The strongest? We have all the numbers, what the hell do they have?" My eldest brother Ryonusuke asks angry with me.

"You'll find out soon enough." I leave the building going to my apartment. I arrive and my sister is here, "Glad you let yourself in sister, what can I do for you?" Sarcasm should have been my name, but well, we do not name ourselves.

"Well, baby brother. I heard you have some history with the Hiryu heir, I'm interested in getting some valuable information about them, see, in 3 days we're raiding their city, and I want to know what I'm up against."

"3 days? Why wasn't I made aware of this?"

"You? Don't make me laugh. We can't trust you."

"You've got that right." I open a portal and jump to my hide out. Always been an outcast in my own family, I've got nothing to prove.

I turn around and it's a man that's awfully familiar. I've seen him with Cat before. Katsuki right?
