They say home is where the heart is but for years, I’ve traveled around the world making them my home while finding ways to help myself. Seeking ways for me to rid myself of the violent tendencies and rage that is constantly within it. It took some time, but I was ready, ready to go back home where I am from for the first time after so long. To see my friends and family once again.

But this isn’t the home I remembered, things changed since I was gone, I couldn’t recognize it anymore. That’s the least of my problems, as the ultimate test of what I’ve learned throughout the years of journeying around the world is about to begin.

“Sorahiko!” a familiar face shouted in the airport from afar. The smile that I can immediately recognize no matter how long it has been since I saw it. I waved seeing that she is running towards me.

“It’s been some time” I greeted with open arms as we embraced each other for a long-overdue hug. “I missed you, Sakurai.”

“I thought you’ll never come back,” she said with tears of joy flowing out of her eyes as she held on to me tightly.

“Sorry it took so long” I apologized.

I didn’t notice it from afar but up close it was obvious that something was wrong, she looked pale and sickly with her swollen eyelids.

“What happened to you? You looked sick and skinny” I questioned seeing how frail her frame has become since I last remembered.

“Sora……” she hesitated, “A lot of things happened since you left.”

With the tone of how she said it, I knew that it wasn’t good news, but I had to play along pretending that I don’t know.

“Are you gonna fill me in?” I asked.

“Not here, not in public, they have eyes and ears everywhere” she answered scanning the surroundings as if she’s checking if there’s anyone spying on us or something.

“What’s going on why are you looking around?” I questioned her behavior.

“Not here, follow me back and I’ll fill you in,” she said as she pulled me to her car and drove me to somewhere I didn’t recognize.

“Where are you taking me?” I questioned not recognizing any of the roads she’s taking.

“Somewhere safe, somewhere I know we wouldn’t be heard or seen” she answered coldly as she continued to drive.

We stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse, where she then instructed me to be quiet and follow her as she got down of the car and walked towards the warehouse.

“Where are we?” I questioned.

“Home” she answered.

“If memory serves me right, you don’t use to live in a warehouse not less a warehouse that looks abandoned like this one” I reminded.

“Things changed,” she said as she led me to the back gate which when opened revealed a medium-sized room.

“Come in” she invited, once I got in, she closed the gate and locked the door behind us.

“Something is definitely not right” I started seeing the room that she claims to be her house.

“You shouldn’t have come back” she stated.

“What exactly happened?” I asked.

She begins to explain, everything happened a few months after I left, someone from the underworld rose dramatically and took over the city by paying just about everyone. Those that didn’t accept his money are either missing or dead, then there are those that he didn’t bother paying and just decided to control over because of the influence he had. Her family was one of the few that didn’t accept the money and all of them were killed instead of her. then she went silent.

“What happened, what did they do to you?” I questioned trying to remain calm even though I could feel the anger within me already.

She lifted up her clothes revealing scars all over her abdomen and back, saying “I became the puppet for the Tsutsui twins.”

“Tsutsui twins?” I questioned as the rage within starts piling up.

“Brother and sister that works under him, they are one of his many enforcers and I was given to them as a present, and……” she begins to broke down.

Immediately I caught her before she fell on her knees as she remembers what they did to her.

“How long?” I asked.

“Three years until they were bored of me and dumped me here” she answered.

“Where can I meet these twins?” I questioned.

“You shouldn’t have come back, the others tried to find me when I was their puppet, and they faced the twins now their whereabouts are unknown” she stated grabbing onto my sleeve tightly.

“The others?” I questioned.

“Rei, Himura, Yusuke, and the rest” she answered.

“Tell me where can I find the twins Sakurai?” I demanded.

“You can’t find them” she answered.

Suddenly just when I was about to ask my next question, we could hear commotion happening inside of the warehouse as if people were gathering.

“SAKURAI!” a man shouted.

“Oh god they are here, you need to hide” Sakurai whispered “If they find you they’ll kill you”

“SAKURAI WE KNOW YOU ARE HERE” the man shouted again.

“I’m not going to hide” I stated.

“Please hide, I don’t want to lose you too” She pleaded as she pointed at this space where I would be hidden, “Hide there.”

“What about you then?” I asked in a concerned tone.

“I’ll be fine” she reassured me with a smile as she pushed me to the space and went out.

“FINALLY!” The man shouted, “OUR PEOPLE SAW YOU WITH SOMEONE, CARE TO TELL US WHO THAT PERSON IS?”

I couldn’t exactly hear what Sakurai’s reply was caused unlike the man she wasn’t shouting.

“LIAR!” He shouted, proceeded with what sounded like a slap “We saw you entering this shithole with him, now where is he?”

The rage within was definitely at its tipping point, but I remembered what I learnt from my journey which is to channel the rage to somewhere that wouldn’t affect my line of thought. I knew that staying here wouldn’t be an option as I am hiding here and Sakurai is out there being presumably beaten up so I had to get out to save her somehow.

“So I am going to ask you again” the man stated “Where is he?”

“HERE” I announced coming out from the room to see five men surrounding Sakurai who’s on the floor shocked to see me revealing himself.

“And you are?” the man asked.

“Sakurai, are you okay?” I ignored him completely.

“Are you ignoring me? Do you want to die punk?” he challenged.

“would they lead me to the twins?” I ignored him again.

“Oh, you want to meet the boss? Sure, guys go prep him to meet the boss” the man instructed his men who walked towards me together.

Out of the four men approaching me, two of them have bats, while one had a knife and the other one is empty-handed. Nothing really life-threatening as the empty-handed one charged at me first only to get pushed to the wall.

“How bout you guys make this a challenge and come at me together?” I taunted the men which worked as they came charging at me together which made it even easier considering that they weren’t coordinated whatsoever.

A few parries and deflects later, the men were all on the ground in pain, and the shouting man was in shock over what just happened as if he couldn’t believe what he just witnessed which is his men being beat up by one person. I slowly walked towards him with his men’s knife at hand.

“DON’T COME ANY CLOSER” he demanded pulling a gun out of his pocket and pointing it at Sakurai “OR SHE GETS IT”

I stopped and stared at him trying not to laugh at how scared he was as his hands were trembling as he pointed his gun at Sakurai.

“Everything is going to be fine, Reika” I assured with a smile before turning back to look at the guy “You asked who I am right?”

“Yeah?” he answered in a trembling tone.

“The name is Sorahiko, Tetsuya Sorahiko” I answered looking at the knife at my hand “But recently, I go by another name.”

“Godfrey,” I stated as I threw the knife on his shoulder causing him to drop the gun.
