88 Diary: Memories From The Youth 6

For a couple of days, Hanzo didn't come to his family house. While outside, Hanzo became wilder and wilder with Crazy Kei's gang. He was almost like the clone of Crazy Kei. He did everything Crazy Kei told him to, he also acts like him.

He started to have fun with all of that. He wrecks a public car, put a fire on the building, hang out at the bar, smoking, and defeating the tugs on the region.

Han sighed inside. Hanzo, what happened to you?

One day his father and mother came to the school to search and check on him. He asked the teachers and said that he didn't come to school lately. Just like the usual thing happened, because he was in Class S, the teacher tolerate them.

But for Nobuo Asuzawa that was not the case, he worried about.

When they went out of the school building, their plan was to search for Hanzo again, while accidentally saw him were fighting with a bunch of group thug people and another school students on an open field beside the river. He was standing in the middle with Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii beside him.

They had their bruises on their face and a bat on their hand.

They were ready for another fight!

Suddenly Nobuo Asuzawa shouted the driver to stop the car!

He quickly jumps from his car and runs toward their direction. His wife was confused and unconsciously followed him what just happened. He was carrying his belt sword and shouted to stop the fight. But the fight still keeps going. As if his voice was just a punny little wind which passing by.

A bulky student came charge on him and tried to hit him with a baseball bat. Nobuo Asuzawa dodges that, but another student came unnoticed beside him and hit his shoulder. The wooden stick was broke. While hurting, he still let out his voice to shout to Hanzo. "Son! Stop this fight!"

"Father?" Hanzo reacts to the voice and then finally realized that his parent was here. When he was quiet for a second another wooden bat swing to his direction. It hit his head and blood started to come from his head.

"Kyaa!" it was his mother voice. She was corner by the sudden thugs to come to her, she was practically hiding but got discovered by them. They started to grab her arm. She screamed, "You, hoodlum! How dare you do this to your elder!"

"Elder! You are here then you are our hostage, you came from the eastern region too, ain't right? So we didn't give a damn sh*t about what happened to you!"

"Grace!" my father shouted. He swings the back of his sword to that thugs and hit his damn head until he fainted. Another hit was coming right up to him, he was dodging quite nicely yet in short matter of time a whole gang surrounds Nobuo Asuzawa.

"Father!!" Hanzo screamed and run towards him, he was trying to help. But the whole gang, gang up to Nobuo Asuzawa while he tried to protect his wife. A bat after bat came to his body and leg until he fell to the ground while hugging his beloved wife under him. Blood came out from his mouth.

Nobuo with his bloody face strode and hit the people who were near his parent. Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii were still busy with the other opponent and only his group were separated from the other two. Hanzo fought and hit one student and another student, one thug, and another thug. He was gasping and his eyes were red.

He could see his parent bloody bodies and he screamed like madness!

...

Inside the car, the personal driver who saw his master was fighting with thugs on the open field, quickly called police troops and his master personal subordinate in the military! Because the scale people was too big he needs more people!

Master, please be safe!!

...

Inside the black space.

"Hanzo, are you okay?" Han said to him with a helpless face.

Hanzo looked tired and helpless, his eyes were red from crying. He asked, "Are you really going to stay here? You don't want to leave forever?"

"Do you hate me?" Han asked.

He shakes his head and brushes back his short black hair to the back. "I...I don't know, but I think so."

"Why?" (Han)

"I...You...You can do everything that I can't do! You can handle everything while I'm suffering alone in this depression! You can be yourself while I'm fighting with my self! You become 'You' while I...am confused... if only you did not exist, I should have not in this situation right now..." (Hanzo)

Han asked him calmly, without hinting any annoying feeling he felt. "Then...what do you want to do?"

"I..."

At that moment he was finally glad to Crazy Kei's advice. In the future, he will remember his debt to him, he helps him to figure out, what it means to be one person.

Hanzo remembers Crazy Kei's words when he asks him how to be normal again. But, he still had his doubt.

He looked at Han with determining eyes and resolution. He asks a favor to him, "I...Let's merge together, into one personality, Han."

Han lifted one of his eyebrows, "You want me to disappear? Then are you brave enough to face your father now?"

He was a little hesitating, but then he covers it again with his resolution. He exhaled and said,"...Yes, I am and...you are not going to disappear, we will become one person. And if you are still not satisfied yet. I'll keep my name as Han. How is it?"

Han looked at him with his usual scary expression. But, his eyes were not. It was surprisingly calm and no anxiety inside. He was thinking. He didn't want to disappear, he wants to become himself. But how Hanzo act for a few days just to make himself better were shocking to Han.

He did everything to make him normal again, even the bad things, so he could erase Han. But it didn't work how many time he tried. The way he forces things to make Han disappear, just making Han resistant and stay there, observing and waiting for his opportunity to get out.

When Han looked at Hanzo determining eyes, his eyes were a little shaken. Hanzo was tired and how his father became like that was all his fault. He blames himself again.

But this time he wants to face it, he didn't want to run away again.

Honestly, it moved Han's heart.

He chuckled and Han looked at Hanzo. He grabs his hand and looked at the reflected him in Hanzo's eyes.

"I will not resist again. You are me and I'm you. We are one. Let's end this."

"You agree that I'll keep your name?"

"Sure." Han smiled.

...

The next moment, he opens his eyes. He felt as if his vision became clear as the bright sky and one of the burdens had been lifted from his shoulder. But his expression didn't support his happy mood.

His bloody face made him like a hell demon. He was smiling yet seems like grinning as well!

He growled and looked at his father's sword. His fear of childhood was still there, but it wasn't the same as before. With his guts, he braces himself to grabbed his father's sword which was left on the ground.

He hit all the people who are coming after him. He used his kendo position and his body martial art to defend him. One by one people were all flying because of his hit. Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii were all looking at Han as if he was reborn.

He fought like an undefeatable machine and hit all the people who were targeting him. A lot of people fought him with a wooden bat and a knife was flying to his shoulder!

Jleb!

It hit him! But, he didn't show his hurtful face. He pulled the knife and smiled again to the one who threw the damn piece of junk. His blue eyes mix with red color and made all the people surround him shiver.

They lost their confidence.

He wasn't the mad dog they knew. His face was dark as if he was a demon who resurrected from hell. He put his usual scary expression that they didn't see since that day in the old school building.

'Is that Han?' Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii wondered.

One...two...three....x people got slay by him. He didn't kill them but just broke some vital bone. Like their legs, hands or ribs.

'I am still nice, didn't I?" Han said inwardly.

The fought was the combination of Han and Hanzo power, thus he became like that.

Therefore, a blood bath occurred that day on the open field, leaving people traumatic memories on their mind and soul.

Han was gasping for his last strength. He looked at the sky which covers with the color of red and orange. He smiled that he finally...finally.

He laughed and he fainted immediately.

A helicopter, ambulances and a lot of police cars were coming to the area. Han's father and mother were brought to the hospital and they were being treated. Han was also brought to the hospital. But the nurses and the doctor were confused for his smile. Why he was smiling?

Brrrr... It gave them chills!

A lot of thugs and students was captured and shot. They went to the police station and got their sanctions.

Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii's groups were gone from the place. They quickly ran and went to hiding.

In the next day, a piece of public news about School X student was fighting with thugs and another school student broke out on the internet and television news. It was a piece of breaking news that led the country need to have an extra precaution for people involved with thugs or student rules violation.

Han's face was censored and he got noticed from school that he was expelled, while Crazy Kei and Rei Ishii weren't. They didn't get found out. The reason? Their connection, perhaps.

When Laura and Stevan heard Han was no more in their school. They didn't know what to say.

Since that day, Han moved to a different school.

...

While studying at a different school, Han had been reflecting. In those hard days when he still got no news from his father health. His uncle came to meet him, he asked Han if he wants to study business with him. So, without any reason to decline, he just accepts it.

He had been studying business with his cousin. It was also the first time he met him, Satoru Asuzawa. The two of them didn't have much conversation to talk about. So they quickly engrossed to their own activity without care to each other.

Three weeks later, his father was waking up from the bed. He ran towards his room and saw his mother were there, beside him. She cried and Han was terrified.

'Is father?...' he thought the worst possibilities.

But no, his father was alive, yet he couldn't walk anymore.

His old wound from his old mission was re-open from the last bloodbath incident. Therefore, the doctor concluded he'll have difficulty to walk again. Even with surgery, it would be no help and no chance. The paralyzed legs will be there until he dies.

For Han, it hurt him on the spot. He held his father hand and apologize, didn't know how many times he did it. Nobuo Asuzawa was only smiling and said that it was his fault and not him. He was too hasty. His mother was crying and blame herself that it was her fault. the three-member keep apologizing to each other and tears broke from their eyes again.

Hana was there in the room, watching her brother and her parent crying. She was ten years old and she knew this problem was a little difficult for her to step in. So, she just shut up and hugs her mother to comfort her.

...

...

A couple years later Han built his first own company, entering his short term university years and got sent to the military for five years until he finally inherited his father title as a young general at age 26 years old.

...

That was me 'Hanzo' or should I say 'Han' now.
