Great Student Takatasuka

Chapter 14

Kenji Takatasuka thought he knew everything. Since the day he was born he had an answer for any situation where he got into trouble, he knew what to do before anyone figured it out. But for the first time he had no clue what to do. And it did not involve just himself. It involved three other people who lives are in danger especially one who he hopes will accept the truth.

Mr. Nakagawa men quickly apprehend the four young students. Most of them grab Kenji because they know most of the men that tried to get him are still unconscious.

“What should we do with them now Mr. Nakagawa?” One of the men said.

“We have to speed up our plans, call Mr. Takatasuka's parents.” Mr. Nakagawa said with a smirk.

“Leave them out of this!” Kenji yelled as he tried to break free but brought down more by the “strength” of the 10 men still holding Kenji.

“Kenji!” Tomoko yelled as she somehow breaks free and trys to run to Kenji but one of the men come out of nowhere and pushes her to the ground hard.

“Don't touch her.” Kenji said softly with a little anger in his voice.

“Don't worry I'm ok.” Tomoko replied as one of the men picked her up and held her.

With that settled Mr. Nakagawa truned his attention to one particular blone genius. “I've haven't forgotten out little get together.” As he said laughing.

“I can hardly wait.” As Urumi tried to put on a brave face knowing she is vulnerable, but for some reason she looks at Kenji like he needs to do something.

One of men approches Mr. Nakagawa and talks to him in his ear. He could only smile more knowing everything is going his way.

“Bring him.”

The men bring the man and throw him down.

Uhehara looks and gasps she know who he is. “EUICHI!” She tries to free herself but the men hold her tightly.

Euichi looks up to his sister with a bruised face but what comes out of it is a smile. Uhehara is surprised why.

“It's all right, Uhehara everything will be fine.” As his smile continued.

It is short lived as Mr. Nakagawa approches him and kicks him in the face.

“Easy for you to say.” Mr. Nakagawa said with his voice rising in anger. “I once held you in high regard, I

even admired you, but now,” He kicks Euichi in the face again. “YOU DO THIS!”

Uhehara, Tomoko and Urumi could only look and do nothing wondering if they will face the same fate. Kenji could only close his fists toghether.

“Oh I almost forgot, your friends won't be coming to help you.” As Mr. Nakagawa finished adjusting his suit.

Kenji knows what he is talking about. He knows they failed. “Euichi.” Kenji said with a sad voice.

“Kenji they knew what we were up to I'm sorry.” as Euichi bowed his head.

“Don't worry you did all you could.” As Kenji began to smile he turned his attention to someone who needs to hear him. “Uhehara, your brother is a good man don't forget that.”

Saying this Uherhara was startled with what Kenji said.

“So much for compassion, do it.” Mr Nakagawa ordered one of his men as they take out a gun and points it to Euichi's head.

Uhehara closes her eyes not bearing to look, Tomoko starts to cry hoping this nightmare will end once and for all. Urumi only goes into her own world looking lost as she always been. Kenji on the other hand raises his head and hears something.

“What?” He answered.

“What's that?” One of the men asked. As the sound grows louder.

“What are you waiting for? Do it now!” Mr Nakagawa yelled getting impaitent.

“Sorry Mr. Nakagawa.” One of the men said, “But that sound, I think that's...”

He is cut off quickly as Mr. Nakagawa knows what it is and starts to run. The sound grows more louder.

The men try to figure out why their boss has left them. They didn't have to wait long.

A loud crash destroys the gate and all the men scatter.

“Look out!” One of the men yelled.

Before the men knew what was going on there was dust everywhere and everyone was coughing and no one could see what was happening. Kenji knew this was the time, he quickly takes out the two men holding him and runs to see who gave him the break he despartly nedded. When he reaches the Cresta he is stops confused that something or someone is inside. He moves closer to look then...

The doors open immediately and Kenji steps back.

Yoshihkawa! Are you CRAZY! You almost got us killed! A screaming Onizuaka said while leaving the car.

What you want me to do? Knock? Snapped back Yoshihkawa.

“Mr. Onizuka?” Kenji said with a surprised look but somehow was relieved they came at the right time because he was out of options.

Onizuka turned his attention to Kenji with a smile and wave. “Oh hi Kenji I knew we find you guys.”

“How did you find us?” Kenji replied.

“You can thank you guardian.” Onizuka said lighting a cigarette.

“How did you know?” Kenji wanting to know because he did not mentioned his whereabouts to anyone.

“Just a couple of phones call and a broken arm.”

“Broken arm?” Kenji was now more confused.

“Long story.” Onizuka said wanting to change the subject quickly.

Yoshihkawa approached now more impatient that he wanted to the girls especially one. “Mr. Onizuka, We have to find them before...” Before he could mentioned anything else sirens were heard everywere and they were approching the warehouse.

“What! The cops? But I thought they weren't coming!” One of the henchmen yelled.

“You thought wrong!” Another man said panicking. “Where the boss?”

They both looked around, he was nowhere to be seen. “He bailed on us were on are own!” They both try to run away both not far enough as they see incoming sirens and try to run the other way hoping not to get caught. As they ran away Onizuka face becomes pale again hoping not to meet an old accquantance he can never seem to avoid.

Kenji looked on to see if his teacher was ok. “Mr. Onizuka are you feelling well?”

Mr. Onizuka returned to his old self like nothing happened. “I will be if I don't here...”

Too late.

“ONIZUKAAAAAAA!” a voice yelled as the police car came speeding down on the three young men.

Onizuka takes a step back and Yoshihkawa does the same while Kenji looks on.

“You may want to step back.” Onizuka advised.

“Why?”

“You'll see.”

As the police car approches them the Vice Principal notices something that more dear to him than life itself.

“Captain, were going too fast and we're going to hit that Cresta.”

“WHAT! STOP THE CAR! STOP THE CAR!” Uchiamadya yelled frantically.

“Are you crazy?” The police officer said trying to give the Vice Principal some sense of sanity. “You know what will happen if I...”

“I DON'T CARE! STOP THE DAMN CAR!” Uchiamadya ordered.

The police officer looks at his superior. “Sir.”

“His funeral.” The captain replied.

“Okay.” The officer stops the car full force and two of the men are safe expect for one who flies for the Cresta.

Onizuka, Kenji and Yoshihkawa runs towards the Cresta.

They all looked and are shocked that the Vice Principal is still breathing.

“Mr. Onizuka, is he going to be alright?”

Onizuka looks inside and touches Uchiamadya's face but decides to make funny faces to his amusement.

“Is that necssary?” Kenji said annoyed.

“Hey, I may never get another chance at this.” Onizuka said still amused and continuing to have his fun.

It was short lived.

“FREZZE! STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR!” As the officer gets out.

“Mr. Onizuka the polcie are here!” Yoshihkawa said with a worried look.

“Good the perfect distraction let's go.” Onizuka runs ahead with Yoshihkawa and Kenji not to far behind as the police file in and begin to round up and arrests Mr. Nakagawa's men.

In another part of the Warehouse three women are hiding hoping for a miracle to happen.

“We'll be safe here.” Urumi said.

“But for how long?” Uherhara replied. With her hope sarting to fade.

“Hey did you guys see who was driving the Vice Principal's car?” Tomoko wondered.

The two girls turned to Tomoko surprised that she would know anything. But Kanzaki say it too and it came back to her.

“Onizuka?” She replied.

“Um, no it was someone else, kind of tall and handsome looking.” As Tomoko scrachted her head trying to figure out who it was. As Kanzaki and Tomoko continued to put their head together and that was a first, One person already knew who it was and leaves so fast that they didn't notice.

Urumi turned around to see if Uhehara was okay. She was gone.

“Oh no.” Kanzaki now knew and gets up and runs for the door.

“Urumi! What's going on?” Tomoko said wanting to know.

“Stay there! And don't move!” Kanzaki yelled as she left.

“Ok.” As Tomoko curled up more frightened.

Another part of the warehouse three men are rushing to find the three young women along the way they encounter Mr. Nakagawa's men and the result is the same. As the men lay there one of them is ahead of the others and no one will stop this young man from reaching his goal.

“Yoshikawa wait up!” Onizuka yelled trying to slow down his young student.

“You should have left us some guys to beat up ya know!” Kenji yelling also with his voice a little irritaed.

“And do all the hard work?” Onizuka said looking at Kenji strangely. “Let him use all that energy.”

Kenji just shakes his head in dissapoinment as they continue and reach their destination.

“Alright where are we?” Onizuka asked.

The three men are standing in a large area of the warehouse but it has been empty for a long time.

“This use to be a storage area, this is where I trained long ago.” Kenji replied.

“Trained?” Onizuka asked wondering.

“My family owns this building, we own a lot of them in Tokyo alone.” Kenji said continuing to look around.

This made Onizuka asked an unconfortable question which was nothing new.

“Say, can you loan me a couple of yen until next payday, I would really appreiciate it if...”

“UHEHARA!” Yoshihkawa yelled out interupting Onizuka's plea for assistance.

“What's the hell wrong with you?” Onizuka said a little startled.

“I don't care, she's got to be here. UHEHARA!” Yoshihkawa yells out again.

Somewhere a girl is running towards the place were she hopes there is a wayout. Unitil she hears a faint voice.

“What? Is it him?” She continues but a little faster.

“Dammit! Stand still!” Kanzaki cursed as she follows.

“UHEHARA! WHERE ARE YOU?” Yoshihkawa yells again but no one answers. With that he bowed his head. He knows they could be too late.

Onizuka walks towards him and puts his hand on his shoulder. “There not here let's look somewhere else.”

“But Mr. Oniuzka, there's something i feel, like she is right here.” Yoshihkawa said softly.

“That's nonsense. There's no such thing.” Kenji said pessimistically.

“How would you know!” Yoshihkawa replied angrily. “We can settle this now!”

Onzuika stops Yoshihkawa from getting his hands on Kenji. Knowing this is not the time.

“It won do any good.”

Yoshihkawa realizes his mistake and agrees. He is now more than sad his heart is broken.

“Okay.” Yoshihkawa replied. “Let's...”

“YOSHIKAWA!” A female voice creis out.

Yoshikawa's eyes widened and immediately he runs to the voice.

“What the?” Kenji looks on puzzled.

“Damn that kid moves fast!” Onizuka said as he runs after him.

Yoshihkawa runs towards the entrance and hears it one more time and he knows.

“YOSHIKAWA! ARE YOU HERE!” Uhehara yells out.

“UHEHARA! I'M HERE!” As Yoshihkawa continues.

Uhehara appears from the entrance, both of them have found each other at last.

“Yoshikawa, you found me.” Uhehara said slowly.

“I knew you be here.” Yoshihkawa said with a little smile across his face.

“Uhehara! Will you slow down for one damn minute!” Kanzaki yelled as she appears but she stops and is startled.

“Yoshikawa? How did you...”

“What do you think?” Yoshihkawa said as his smile is concentrated on Uhehara.

Uhehara notices and walks closer to him her heart beating faster as she moves closer.

She stops as Yoshihkawa speaks. “Uhehara, you have something to say?”

She trys to resist but she knows she cannot hold it any longer. She tries but stammers. “I..., I..., I..., L...”

Then out of nowhere someone grabs her.

“AHHHHH!”

“Uhehara!” Yoshihkawa yells. “What the..”

Then another one appears and grabs Kanzaki.

“NO! HELP!” Kanzaki cries out.

“I told you. We were going to have a good time together.” As Mr. Nakagawa held Kanzaki tighter laughing.

“Let them go.” Yoshihkawa said with his fists tightining.

“What are you going to do? You're outnumbered and out of time.” He pointed his gun towards Kanzaki trying to frightened her but she is not afraid.

“I don't think so.” As Kenji appeared with Onizuka.

“What?” As he turned around to his young enemy, Onizuka begins looking over someone and his hormones come at the wrong time.

“Onizuka?” Kenji said trying to get his teacher's attention.

“Damn Kanzaki, you look really hot in that dress if you were just a little older...”

“WHAT! YOU PERVERT!” Kanzaki yelled out. “You're thinking about me at a time like this!”

“SHUT UP!” As Mr. Nakagawa covers her mouth.

Kenji moves closer to him as Mr. Nagkagawa keeps moving back. Kenji know this has to end and he knows the consequences.

“It's all over Mr. Nakagawa, the police will be here soon.”

“You have to kill me first.” As he puts the gun towards Kanzaki's head.

“That can be arranged.” As Kenji moves towards Mr. Nakagawa with his fists at the ready but he is stopped by Onizuka.

“Kenji do you want this?” Onizuka said.

“It dosen't matter, I have nothing to live for.”

“Yes you do and it's standing in front of you.”

Kenji quickly looks as Onizuka's smiles at him. He knows something. Since Kenji first stepped into his class.

Now Kenji realizes. “WHAT! Does he know?” Kenji said to himself.

“Took me a while but you two are just alike, boy now I got double trouble.” As Onizuka lets out a loud laugh.

Kanzaki looks and realizes also. “WHAT! Onizuka You knew? You knew all along?” As she said to herself.

“HEY! Why the hell are you laughing? Mr. Nakagawa demanded.

Onizuka stops and now is more serious. “No reason, Just felt like it.” As he starts to laugh again.

“Boss let me take care of him.” One Mr. Nakagawa's men said boldly.

Onizuka stops his laughter and focuses his attention to the man who insulted him.

“Are you sure you want to do that?”

Mr. Nakagawa and his men are stunned that he would say such a thing even though Onizuka, Kenji and Yoshikawa are outnumbered.

“Seems this is where it all ends, everyone has to make a decision, just who is going to make the first move.” As

Onizuka lights a cigarette.

Everyone is standing around, It has gotten quiet all the parties involved must do something in the next couple of seconds for this nightmare to end.

They don't have to wait long.

“Kenji?” Tomoko answers.

Three shots are fired.
