Private Wars

It occurred when I was still in Russia fifteen years ago, living with my caring grandmother and my little sister. I was a young child, about the age of ten, if I can briefly remember. My parents were in Japan, they were always busy, too busy. I was walking back home in the streets of Ardon, with Arisa, we came back from grocery shopping. But, by the time we arrived at our grandmothers house, I dropped my jaw in horror—aware of the terrifying scene in front of me.

Grandmother lay on the floor, completely motionless. I could see countless red liquid streaming down the pale walls of the ruined building, and there were numerous bloody puddles surrounding us. I remember blocking Arisa's eyesight with my furiously sweating palms, and tears sliding down my heated cheeks. The scene in front of my eyes were too horrifying to describe. Grandmother was gone. Dead. And we both needed to accept that. Arisa cried, loudly. I remember dashing up to our deceased grandmother, and shutting her eyes with my slender fingers, trembling with fear. Suddenly, I recall hearing a distant noise outside the house. I went to hide in the nearby cupboard with Arisa, and held her tightly in an embrace, covering her mouth.

"Calm down, Arisa," I remember whispering to her, but she continued to cry without pausing.

Because of the loud noise we were making in the cupboard, we were eventually found out, by a group that I discovered later on called 'Falcawks.' They took Arisa away from me, the only one I had left. And they never returned. She vanished from my life. They both vanished from my life. I remember the evil chuckles I had received, and the death threats I had gained. They let me go, they didn't bother to tamper with me. But I needed to move on, and I did, despite facing the fact that the most important family I had left vanished from me on that day.

Falcawks had continued to murder innocent people from that day on. But I didn't know why. What had other people done to them? We've done nothing to hurt them. I didn't understand, was it for pleasure? For fun? Or was there no purpose at all?

Eventually, I moved to Japan, for no one would take me in after the events of that day. I was still ten, and I had made the choice to go to a school in Tokyo as a transfer student. When I was introduced to the class, they crowded me. They asked all sorts of questions, but when they asked about who I lived with, I snapped. The principal immediately got me expelled, for the violent actions I had caused in class. Then I moved again, with help from the council and my parents. I lived all alone, and it was always silent. I continued to live as a quiet person, and excelled in all subjects during my years in middle school.

It was around the first year of high school when I learned that my parents had gone missing. That time, I fell under depression.

But, my life changed when I met a violet-haired girl called Tojou Nozomi. She was very beautiful, and I had began to open up to her after she had continuously tried to become my friend. Though, I never told her about the past that was kept inside me. She was rather mysterious at first, and she always used her tarot cards to predict the future or whatever. Nozomi had violet hair, with emerald eyes and a gentle smile, with a bust that I can't further talk about. I liked her. And I soon discovered that I held feelings for Nozomi, eventually confessing to her on Valentine's Day when I was seventeen. I thought that she would reject me in the confession, but in fact, she didn't. And I was extremely happy.

She was my life, she was special to me. She was the first, the first one to care about me ever since the terrible past. Luckily, we applied the same university after college and ended up in a room together. Now we are in a relationship, and we had stayed side by side together, without betraying the other. In addition, after finishing university, we had began living together in an apartment, which had a lovely view of the city from the windows. I was happy, because I had began a fresh start...I had began a new life, with a bright light. But... they are back.

"...Chi...Elichi!" Eli heard Nozomi cry as she tried to shake the blonde awake from slumber. Eli slowly opened her eyes, and sat up, stretching her arms and yawning. She turned around to the pouting purplenette, and gave her a brief kiss on the lips for a few seconds with lips that were curled into a smile.

"Good morning, Nozomi..." Eli mumbled, rubbing away the dust that were adjacent to the tip of her eyes.

"Good morning, Elichi," Nozomi smiled. Eli sat up and dawdled to the bathroom with half-asleep eyes, leaving a grinning Nozomi in the bedroom.

You really have changed, Elichi... Nozomi thought, and went to the kitchen to provide breakfast for the quarter Russian. But, Eli really had changed though. Nozomi recalled the blonde in the first year of high school—Eli was always focused on herself, she didn't make any friends in class. In a word, she was antisocial. She never accepted the offers she had received to go out after school. Nozomi was tired of that, and had tried to be friends with the blonde. Which worked after a couple tries. Nozomi's thoughts then led to Eli's confession on Valentine's Day, and she sighed dreamily as she thought about that day. But her thoughts were interrupted when Eli had appeared from the bathroom, and made an entrance to the kitchen.

Eli embraced Nozomi from behind, and cautiously placed her finger in the result of Nozomi's cooking. Unfortunately, for Eli, Nozomi was aware of the cheeky blonde tasting her cooking, and lightly punched Eli on the shoulder, sticking out her tongue.

"Elichi, patience. Or else I will punish you~" Nozomi teased the blonde playfully, while swirling the large spoon around and around in the tin. Eli pouted, and slowly strided towards the lounge. She grabbed the remote for the television and turned it on. But what appeared on the television wasn't what she expected.

"Apparently, an group 'Falcawks' has been active last week, and therefore are responsible for 65% of the attacks and murders in Japan. It is strongly recommended to stay indoors and be aware of your surroundings," a journalist said on television. Eli's eyes widened. She recalled the day Arisa and her grandmother vanished from her life, and she felt tears of anger in her eyes. Nozomi, who had eventually noticed the expression on Eli's face, went up to the quarter Russian and rubbed her back with comfort.

"Elichi, what's wrong...? I don't like it when you're like this," Nozomi muttered. Eli brushed the tears off her eyes and faced Nozomi.

"Mm, nothing," Eli said reassuringly and smiled at the worried Nozomi beside her. Nozomi nodded and gently kissed her cheek, heading to the kitchen once again afterwards. Eli placed her hands on her head.

No, Not...not them... I don't want to remember...I refuse...! Eli cried in her mind, despair rising in her head. But she couldn't let the thought escape, no matter what. She was stuck with it. Eli caught a glimpse of the clock hanging on the colourful wall, and she instantly remembered the blood streaming down the walls, while recalling the corpse that lay on the bloody floor. Her grandmother. Eli dug her fingers deeper into her head, and gritted her teeth. No...no...! I need to move on! I need to forget-

"Elichi, breakfast is ready! Let's eat!" Nozomi cried from the kitchen, and Eli stopped. The blonde sighed, ambling towards the dining table, and embracing Nozomi before she perched down into the chair. She tried hard to equip a happy expression, so her lover wouldn't notice.

"Itadakimasu," the pair said, and began to eat the breakfast that Nozomi had prepared for themselves. Eli slowly ate, and Nozomi frowned worriedly. From Nozomi's point of view, Eli was sweating furiously and she was shuddering in what looks like...Fear. Nozomi said out of the blue, "Elichi, are you okay? Maybe you should stay in and skip work for today. I can contact them if you want-"

"No! I mean... It's okay, I can work today," Eli replied, and gazed at her emerald-eyed lover with an assuasive smile.

"Okay, but are you sure? I've been noticing that you haven't been yourself today..." Nozomi mumbled. Eli nodded as a response and finished the last of her breakfast, transferring her plate to the polished sink once she was finally done. Nozomi finished eating after the blonde had, and took her plate to the sink. As she began to wash the dishes, "Elichi... Please, are you hiding something...? I'll wait for you to tell me, even if it takes forever,"

Eli stepped out of the shower, droplets of water dripping endlessly from her hair and slender figure. She wrapped the towel around her hair slowly to stop the pouring water and stared into her eyes in the mirror, her feet clapping onto the floor as she walked to the door after.

Right, let's get changed. And Eli twisted the door knob to the bedroom. She opened the wardrobe and searched for her suit. Yes, Eli wore a suit to work, but it suited her very well. It matched her charm. The blonde removed her clothes, revealing a bare stomach with pale legs. She grabbed her blank shirt and slowly equipped it, and just when she was going to do her buttons:

"Need help with that, Elichi?" Eli twisted her back, glancing at her lover from the door with a soothing smile. Nozomi. Eli nodded, and Nozomi strided to the quarter Russian. Quietly, Nozomi buttoned her girlfriends shirt, her fingers slightly grazing Eli's slender figure. Eli let out a moan, and Nozomi grinned, embracing Eli after.

"Too bad we can't do it today~" Nozomi whispered in the latters heated ear, "I need to go and do the washing now, good luck at work,"

Before the mysterious purplenette could vanish to the washing machine, Eli grabbed her arm, "Come here," And Nozomi kissed her lips, aware of what the blonde wants, and sat on Eli's lap. Nozomi moaned as Eli twirled her tongue around the other. She moaned in pleasure even more when Eli slowly slid her fingers inside her damp clit, and when Eli kneaded her full breasts. Eventually, Nozomi climaxed and a peculiar liquid ran down the blondes fingers.

"That's enough for now~" Eli teased, licking the fluid that dripped down her lovers pussy, "I'll be sure to give you more loving after work,"

Nozomi pouted and wacked Eli on the shoulder with her fist playfully.

"You just tease me, and then you leave it here~! No fair!" Nozomi complained. The quarter Russian laughed, and pulled up her dark trousers, tying her stripy tie around the collar of her shirt by the time she had finished. Nozomi passed Eli's blazer to the blonde, and said in a playful manner, "Now Elichi, no flirting with other ladies at the office, you know how they're charmed easily. I'll spank you if you come home with a naughty girl~"

Eli smiled, and wore her blazer by the time Nozomi had disappeared to the washing machine. You got it, Nozomi...

~/O\~

"Have a safe trip!" Nozomi cried, waving her arm side to side. Eli waved back and blew a kiss to the purplenette, who stuck her tongue out joyously in return. Eli exhaled, and opened the door to her handy car. She was a lovely Lamborghini, with a yellow paint job, and Eli had brought her four years ago.

Just when the blonde was about to drive off to the main office, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Eli took it out. It was a call— from Umi— one of her assistants out of two. Eli raised her eyebrows, bewildered. She accepted the call, and held it beside her ear.

"What's wrong, Umi?" Eli asked, waiting for a response from the bluenette on the phone.

"Eli...! There's been a raid in the headquarters! Maki and I are hiding inside the office in Block 3B, our best gunmen have been sent to assess the situation," Umi responded, and Eli shuddered with shock, "Y-you need to hurry, Maki's been shot...!"

"U-Umi! Who is attacking the head-" Eli began, but was silenced by a beep that indicated that Umi had hung up on her, or something had interrupted the conversation. Eli started the engine, and pushed the pedal. Hard. She gritted her teeth. Maki, the other aide of the blonde, plus the head paramedic of the SIF (Secretive Investigation Factory,) was injured. And Eli needed to hurry. Without exceeding the speed limits, Eli had managed to arrive at SIF, parking her Lamborghini in Block 3B, adjacent to Block 3A and 3C. Eli pushed a button that triggered a suitcase on top of the dashboard, grabbing a handgun, extra ammunition and a smoke grenade with a PM9 and knife just in case a disaster will appear.

Eli lunged out of the car seat quickly but silently, heading towards office 3B that was right in front of her eyesight. She scanned her surroundings, and luckily, it was clear. She had no idea what who was attacking the headquarters, all she knew was that there had been a raid. Which wasn't a good thing at all. In addition, Maki was shot. Eli took the key to the office from her shirt pocket and twisted it inside the lock, opening the door hurriedly after.

"Umi-!" Eli cried, and she caught a glimpse of a familiar crimson-haired girl in the corner, resting her head on the wall, breathing heavily. Eli analysed the room for the bluenette, and discovered that she was blocking the door from exploding with the enemies.

"Maki, Maki! H-how-"

"Let's talk about this later...Eli. There's towels in the cupboard near the door, they will relieve my injury. Crap, if only I wasn't distracted... Go!" And Eli rushed to the cupboard that the towels were contained in, placing it on the gory stomach of the red head as soon as she grabbed them.
What did Maki mean by 'I wasn't distracted?' What happened?

Maki continued to breathe rather heavily, and Eli was worried. She wanted to do something... But what? All of the sudden, Eli had an idea.

"Maki, I'll send Nico here, she'll help you, I'll go and check out what Umi's doing," Eli said, Maki nodded, and before she could go:

"E-Eli, hurry..." Maki mumbled, and held onto the towel placed on her bleeding stomach that screamed in agony. Eli seized her phone, and scrolled the call directory to Nico's name. Yazawa Nico, an A-Star doctor of M2 in SIF, instantly responded to Eli's command on the phone and said that she will arrive in five minutes. The raven-haired doctor was dating the red head, despite the two year age gap. She was the same age as Eli, who is twenty-five. That meant Maki was twenty-three. The red head had a wealthy family, with parents that inherited a hospital. And Maki was thankful to them.

Eli rushed to the bluenette, who was trying hard to prevent the attackers from barging into the office.
"Umi, I'll hold it for a bit, you try to call officer Toudou, she can summon more troops," Eli told Umi, who nodded in response and called the officer. Eli stood in front of the door, pushing with all her might. How many were there behind the door? She turned to Umi, still trying to prevent the enemies from attacking. Umi tucked her phone inside her pocket, and rushed to Maki, who was clutching onto her chest, groaning in pain.

"Just a little longer," Eli could hear the amber-eyed bluenette say, and Maki kept groaning, blood spilling from the source of the injury.

What the fuck, where are you, Nico!? Your girlfriends going to die any second! Eli cried in her mind. Behind the door, she could hear wretched foes yelling at them to open the door, and the enemies had begun to push harder. Eli strained, but she carried on in determination. She won't let them get through. No matter what. Out of the blue, she heard a distant sound from the door. BANG. BANG. Eli beckoned Umi to open it, and she captured a sea of raven hair.

"Nico! What took you so fucking long?!" Eli yelled at her, "Now, go and save Maki!"

Nico yelped out in fear, and dashed up to Maki with a medical kit. She held her hand, and whispered to the red head that it would be alright. Nico treated the pain and her bloody stomach, trying to take out the bullet as well. Meanwhile, Eli suddenly felt a harder push from behind the door, "Umi! Help me out here!" And Umi pushed with full strength, Eli sighed in relief.

"So, what's going on here?! I know there's a raid, but who from-" Eli began.

"It's them, Eli. Falcawks," Umi interrupted in a serious tone. And Eli startled immediately, her eyes grew wide.

No way... How did they find out about SIF anyway? It had a secret location that we were certain no one would find out about. But, they really are here.

Eli could smell the past coming back to haunt her, and she stood silently, quaking with fear.

"W-what...?"
