Too Far Gone (Urban)

22| Revenge With a Side of Sushi

That same day...

Pierce and the boss watched the TV intently as Jane Valderama reported live from in front of the airport. Her words - as well as her nasally voice - droned into one ear and out the other. The boss took the 40oz bottle of beer and took a big swig of it, swishing the alcohol around in his mouth like mouthwash before ingesting it.

Pierce's eyes fell on his own half empty bottle, longing for the never ending taste of fermented yeast to leave his mouth for good. He caressed the bottle anyway, eyeing the label of the company he's became so obsessed with over the years of his life. Bringing the bottle to his thick lips, he let the liquid trail into his mouth and down his throat without another thought.

Just then, the boss's phone began to ring. The boss slipped his smart phone out of his pack pocket and looked at the screen. He frowned when he saw it was a private caller. Regardless, he answered anyway.

"'Sup?"

"How badly do you want the man who hurt Johnny Gat?" The mysterious caller spoke.

The mere mention of Johnny's name sent wave of rage throughout his body. He hissed, "Who is this?"

Pierce glanced over at the boss slightly concerned.

"Jyunichi will be at Kanto tonight. This is our chance for revenge." The caller continued.

"Our chance? Who the fuck are you?" The boss cursed, clenching his hand into a meaty fist. He banged his hand on the table before getting up.

"Where are you going?" Pierce questioned as the boss walked off.

"I'm takin' out the son-of-a-bitch that killed Aisha." The boss growled. He's been holding onto his rage for the man that injured Johnny since that fatal day. Aisha's private funeral was paused until Johnny was able to leave the hospital. It's only been a day since Gat was incarcerated, but it felt like weeks to him. The boss knew Johnny since he first joined the Saints many years ago. Before the betrayal. Before he nearly died. Gat stood by his side all these years and continued to after he awoke from his coma. Johnny Gat is his best friend. If he died, the least the boss could do is get vengeance for him and Aisha.

Aisha... Johnny's been with her for years. When the boss first joined the Saints, they were already together. He never asked when they'd met or how long they've been together, but when they had a moment to really look at each other, you could see the hearts in their eyes.

It's a shame they had to be separated like this... And so close to their anniversary... Johnny was going to sing one of her old hits to her...

The boss slammed on the brakes as he arrived in front of Kanto. He wiped away the salty tears that managed to escape his eyes and picked up his automatic pistol. Jyunichi was going to pay for the pain he's caused, and no doubt he was apart of Akuji's escape back at the airport. He gripped his pistol tightly as he made his way into Kanto. Kanto is a three-story Japanese restaurant and bar in Stilwater. It was his first time stepping into the place since he's only hung out in the ghetto parts of Stilwater.

As soon as he stepped in, he noticed there was a party going on - a kid's birthday party. Eyes immediately fell on him, and he slowly tucked away his pistol. He silently made his way through the room, heading towards the private party room that was guarded by two Ronin members at the end of the hall.

He eyed the two men suspiciously before attempting to grasp the handle of the sliding door, which made both men draw their swords and try to slice his hand off. The boss was quicker though and withdrew his hand before grabbing one of the men by his forearm and elbowing him in his face. He then forced the man to ram his sword into the abdomen of his partner, who swung his sword at the boss a second too late.

The boss dodge the second blade by a hair, which ended up slicing off the head of the first man. The boss disarmed the second Ronin man and sliced his head off as well. Both bodies fell to the floor with a loud thud.

A scream came from behind, and many footsteps were heard scrambling about. The boss ignored it and whipped out his pistol, kicking in the door of the private party room. There in the middle of the room, Jyunichi was sparring with one of the many Ronin members, most likely training them. They all stopped their actions and stared at the boss before going into battle mode.

The boss quickly took out most of the trainee Ronin members with his pistol before he had to reload. Jyunichi took the opportunity to swipe the gun out of the boss's hand, knocking it to the other side of the room. The boss was going to go in for it, but Jyunichi sliced at him. The boss hissed once the blade cut through a few layers of skin on his arm.

"Die with some honor!" He yelled before attempting to strike again. The boss blocked the attack with his own blade and kicked him in the stomach. Once Jyunichi had fallen, the boss tried to stab him in the heart, but Jyunichi rolled out the way just in time.

"Just let me fucking kill you!" The boss growled as he attacked Jyunichi again. Jyunichi blocked his attack and sliced at his shins. The boss hopped over the blade and kicked Jyunichi in the face. However, he quickly recovered. They went on like this for a couple of minutes, the boss's rage increasing every time he missed or his attacks were blocked and countered.

The boss took a moment to think about Johnny's fight with Jyunichi. Johnny was just as pissed as the boss was right now, but he was fighting a lot better than the boss is.

The boss blocked one of Jyunichi's heavy strikes and kicked him down to the floor again.

Johnny could have defeated this bald man if he wasn't distracted... The only reason that Gat got stabbed was because the boss distracted him by telling him to move... And now, the boss was losing the fight because his mind, his rage, was focused on what this man did to Aisha and Johnny. The boss let this thought replay in his head as he allowed Jyunichi to get up. This wasn't the usual brawler fighting style he was used to. This was a focused fight.

The boss eyed all of Jyunichi's body movements, watching Jyunichi take a slow, steady step back as he drew his right arm back, forming a perfect line from his elbow to the tip of his sword. The boss didn't flinch as Jyunichi began to strike. At the last possible second, the boss shifted his body sideways as Jyunichi took a step forward to plunge his blade into his heart. The boss pierced his own blade into Jyunichi's side just as Jyunichi twisted his blade sideways, grazing the boss's chest. A little flesh wound didn't bother him.

The boss then twisted his blade before yanking it back out and stabbing Jyunichi in his chest. The blade was coated with dark crimson blood. The boss watched heartlessly as the life drained out of Jyunichi's body, red liquid beginning to fill his mouth as he choked on his own blood. Jyunichi's eyes weren't as cold as they looked before. In fact, he looked ashamed.

The boss withdrew the sword from Jyunichi's body and let him fall on the floor. The boss plunged the sword into the man's neck and walked away. On his way out, he picked up his pistol, which ended up next to a table. On the table was a plate adorned with sushi. The boss looked back at Jyunichi's now dead body before picking up a piece and popping it into his mouth.

Sushi was a new thing to him, but he actually liked it. The boss grabbed a few more pieces and twirled his pistol in his free hand. He continued to leave Kanto, humming a new tune as he nibbled on another piece of sushi.
