Chapter 16:

Gun practice.

Yui


Everyone sat near the table in the kitchen, Natsuki wanted to explain to Nakata, Minato, Eda and especially to Kimori the story he made for Fuyuki. Nana already “went to sleep”, it was not so late but late enough for little kids to be in bed.

“I didn’t tell Naomi until today, I feel like it’s the time to tell you too” Natsuki started to talk “when Naomi was 1 year old me and her mother got divorced. We had another son, Naomi’s mom took him and disconnected any contact with us. After three years I heard she died and Fuyuki’s location was unknown. He showed up here drunk, I have no idea how or why, however, we will be raising him from now on.”

“I will not be little Nana’s big brother anymore?” Kimori almost started to cry.

“I hope he can solve puzzles with me” Eda liked to think of a partner to his games with.

“I can teach him how to use my guns” Minato suggested.

“Great, another human being that Yui likes better than me” Nakata was still upseat.

“Thank you for understanding” Natsuki smiled and went outside Yui’s house.

“Yui is such a baby going to sleep so early, why won’t we do something?” Nakata said.

“You always ask to do something and then I ask Kimori and Minato if they have suggestions, Minato suggests we learn how to use his guns and Kimori actually has a good idea, it’s always the same” Eda brought up an interesting point.

“So why don't we learn how to use Minato’s guns today?” suggested Kimori.

“Yes… let’s do it today” Nakata agreed.

Minato smiled happily, finally he can teach someone how to use his guns.

He entered the room he shared with the three others and with Yui. He pulled a little handgun from under his bed, he threw the gun in the air and then catch it back.

“We are ready to go, we will shoot on the small building across the road, I always practice there.”

The four exited the house, no one of them actually wanted to learn how to use Minato’s gun, they just hadn’t nothing better to do.

“For a good shot you need to direct the gun straight forward” Minato lifted the gun and pointed it at the building in front of them, it looked just like the one they live in, on the building there were a lot of little holes, the holes from Minato’s gun practice.

“To shoot you simply pull back the trigger, this specific model needs to be pulled a lot or else it won’t shoot. Who wants to try first?”

“Can I be the first?” Kimori went near Minato, the height difference between them is huge.

Kimori lifted the gun and aimed at the building.

“A little higher” Minato fixed the way Kimori lifted the gun.

“Like this?” Kimori did his best to keep the gun straight, his hands trembled a little.

“This is just about right” Minato stood near Kimori “pull it.”

Kimori pulled the trigger but nothing happened.

“You pulled it too weakly, this kind of pull will not do anything even with other guns, try this again” Minato said.

Kimori tried once again, this time he pulled the trigger much further back and a single bullet hit the building and made another hole near all of Minato’s sea of holes.

“How did it feel?” Minato smiled.

Kimori needed a second to understand that he just shot something for the first time in his life.

He smiled and said loudly “it was amazing! it was loud, and it made a mark!”

“Great, someone else?” Minato took the gun from Kimori.

“I think I got it, let me try” Eda took the gun and pointed at one of the holes “I will try to hit this one.”

“Go for it” Minato didn’t think Eda would succeed.

He aimed the gun at the target, his hands didn’t move at all, just like he is a statue or a doll, the only thing that moved was his finger. Eda pulled the trigger all the way back, the bullet shot and stayed stuck in the wall, just in the hole Eda pointed at earlier.

Kimori and Minato looked shocked, only Nakata didn’t make a specific facial expression, only natural, too natural for Nakata.

“Now it’s my turn” Nakata said quickly, he stole the gun and shot quickly at the building.

“Great! I did it, now let’s see what happens if I shoot right here” he pointed the gun on his head.

Minato quickly used a move from a certain martial art, he stole the gun from Nakata’s hand and disabled Nakata’s both hands.

“Not even as a joke!” Minato shouted, despite his big muscles and tough looks he is a very sensitive and worrying person.

“I can’t meet my family, the only one I thought sees me as a friend hates me more than any other person. I’m a little hamster in a hamster wheel, entertaining his owner. My life is shit, I deserve better!” Nakata shouted, tears making his face wet. Kimori and Eda returned home, they knew if they stayed there they would distract Minato from taking care of it.

“I see you as a friend! I see you as one of my best friends!” Minato shouted.

“Lies, lies, I live in a pound of lies” Nakata kept crying.

“It’s not like you, it’s not the way I know you” Minato punched Nakata in the face “I don’t know what demon is inside you but someone is in there, for sure.”

Eda brought Yui from the house “what is it? I hope this is important because I like sleeping even more than I like my cereal.”

“You are a shity person. I hope you die soon” Nakata screamed in the direction of Yui’s face.

“He started talking nonsense about how shitty his life is” Minato started to get tired from keeping Nakata in place.

“Be quite coconut heads!” Fuyuki kicked the door in the house next door “I’m trying to get some sleep!” his big eyes were full with rage “boom! boom! boom! boom! shouting! shut up already idiots!”
