Chapter 24:

Yoshimura. (Part 3)

Saved By The Bell!


(As Tuesday morning approaches at currently 3:31 AM, Daxton snaps his eyes awake irate and full of anger and immediately notices his anger pills, quickly taking one as he was then calming himself down while suffering a painful headache.)

"Daxton: ...Damn it.. How long has it been since my last pill..?"

(Daxton would immediately pick his teeth and notices a piece of skin from his cannibalistic acts as he could normally feel himself in total control. He'd then leave the bed and walk around the quiet dorm halls while leaning against the wall in a fatigued . Daxton then noticed his dormmate, Yan Jan watching a late night show.)

"Daxton: Hey."
"Yang: AHH! H-Hunter...?! Goodness, you scared me..."
"Daxton: My apologies. How long was I out?"
"Yang: Well.. You was out the entire day... But you aren't gonna kill me..?"
"Daxton: ...Oh no. I skipped my pills again, did I..?"
"Yang: Huh..?"

(As Daxton explained to Yang everything involving his hidden anger and why pills helps him repress his evil intendencies, including his past from his childhood up to this very point.)

"Yang: Holy...-"
"Daxton: Yeah. These pills has been keeping me alive every single time I take them. Unfortunately, things aren't easy for me when I skip my pills, especially in a fight."
"Yang: Daxton... I can tell you're hiding something actually serious."
"Daxton: ...?"
"Yang: There's something more to your prison story, is there...?"
"Daxton: ...There is. But that's for another time, where is everyone?"
"Yang: They're all in the dorms sleeping.. As for Miss Yoshimura... She's visiting her father."

(As Daxton then says nothing else, he'd have one guess where the Yoshimura's would be and leaves the closed off campus to visit Kai-Mi-Hyun hospital. As 30 minutes went by, it was now 4:07 AM as Daxton noticed Kin sitting outside in the cold as she was silent towards Daxton who sat afar from her. As the two shared a minute of silence, Yoshimura first speaks.)

"Kin: ...Can I help you..?"
"Daxton: How's your father?"
"Kin: ...He won't come out of his coma any time soon..."
"Daxton: ...Tashiro?"
"Kin: ...Mhm."
"Daxton: ...I owe your father an apology.-"
"Kin: -Stay away from my father."

(As the two was silent once again, Kin then speaks up.)

"Kin: He may have terrorized me and tortured me my entire childhood.. But he's still my father and I love him. But I don't want you or the others around my father."
"Daxton: Yoshimura, what is the reason?"
"Kin: ...That's family business.. and I can't tell you."
"Daxton: That's not good enough."

(As Daxton got up to enter the hospital, Kin tightly gripped Daxton's arm and shoves him across the pathway as Kin then entered a fighting stance.)

"Daxton: ...Yoshimura. You do not want to do this, it's just an apology for your father."
"Kin: Stay the hell... AWAY FROM HIM!"

(As Kin rushed in to attack Daxton, he'd block the incoming attacks while evading any lethal strikes. With Kin blinding Daxton with her jacket, she'd successfully land a kick to his chest which skids him across a wall while consciously taking pain. As he could now see, he'd look up and dodges Kin's incoming flying kick and stared at a hole she has put on a pillar.)

"Daxton: Yoshimura...! A-All this.. just so.. I can't apologize...?!"
"Kin: I'm sick of it... I can't stand, seeing any of you!"

(As Daxton then was now serious, he'd block and incoming punch, twists Kin's arm to the left, dodges a spinning kick then positions her into a Deadlift Back Suplex which landed successfully yet loud on the hard concrete pathway. As Daxton separated from Kin, she'd immediately get back to her feet and ripped off her scarf to fight Daxton seriously as Daxton then removed his coat to prepare for more fierce combat. As the two then engaged in serious combat, Kin was revealed to be crying which catches Daxton off guard as he allowed Kin to punch him onto the ground as she then pounced on top of him and continued to take numerous punches to the face as Kin began breaking down and halted on punching him more.)

"Kin: ...Just.. Just fucking go... Please..."
"Daxton: ...Not until I apologize. To your father."
"Kin: I don't.. I don't want you to do that.. JUST FUCKING LEAVE, NOW!"

(Daxton then gripped the shoulders of Kin and headbutts her directly into the head, breaking her nose in the process before gripping her by the shirt collar then pinning her to an untouched pillar, angerly expressing his bottled emotions.)

"Daxton: The fuck is your PROBLEM, KIN?! I take time out of my morning despite everything that has happened to me, I'm finally conscious enough to think of school and all and make up for what I've done, you be an absolute jerk and won't let me apologize to one of the strongest clan members in Japan..?! Did one of your fights in the past hit you so hard in the fucking head you can't comprehend the rationality of my motives?! Or are you so scared of me you don't trust me anymore?"

"Kin: ...It's.. IT'S NOT THAT..! I TRUST YOU BUT-"
"Daxton: THEN WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU LET ME APOLOGIZE TO HIM?!"
"Kin: ..."
"Daxton: ..."

(As the two was silent for seconds, Daxton scoffed and let her go, she'd remain standing with her head down.)

"Daxton: ...So you don't trust me, correct?"
"Kin: ..."
"Daxton: Kin. I'm talking to you."
"Kin: ...The family has deemed you an enemy."
"Daxton: ...What?"
"Kin: ...After you challenged my father, the entire clan and it's leaders.. deemed you and Tashiro enemies among us... If I'm seen with you, I'll be putting you in further trouble... So please, GO..! I WANT YOU TO LEAVE!"
"Daxton: Not happening."
"Kin: ...?!"

"Daxton: Did you really forget everything I told you that day I was in the hospital...? I don't care if I'm wanted by a gang, a clan or even the fucking government, I will not stop fighting until I can go back home and return to my life in the states... But as of this moment, you're being a complete piece of shit if I can't apologize to someone I cannot ever defeat, no matter how much training. Are you actually stupid in the mind or do you honestly have no brain cells left the day you first begun fighting?!"

"Kin: SHUT UP!!!"

(Kin then kicks a wooden bench off of its foundation and launched it towards Daxton as he dodged in time, watching it break apart from the force.)

"Kin: What do you know about my life huh?! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?! I WANT YOU TO TELL ME..! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE AN AMERICAN FIGHTER AND THINK YOU CAN TALK DOWN ON ME WHEN I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU, DOES NOT MAKE YOU BETTER THAN ME!!"
"Daxton: That's not what I was trying to do. You have so many mixed emotions going on right now, it's actually making you mentally drunk. And you're right, you never told me your story..."

(The two was silent for a few before Daxton picked up Kin's scarf, dusts it off and puts it back around her neck.)

"Daxton: Let me ask you this. Instead of hiding these emotions, would you at least try and talk to someone about it? Your father has scared you, but I don't know your story on why you're terrified of your father, along with how you started fighting, Kin. You've heard my origins and there are stories I left out... But now, I want to hear your origin. And I want to ask you... Do you even look at me as a friend...?"

"Kin: ..."
