Part 18

That night while Ravi was still disturbed by the thoughts of whether he should have accepted the assignment or not, the time for the assignment had come and he along with Sakura Kinomoto and a few of her followers went into a dark alley and waited there.

Someone from the followers asked Sakura,"Sakura dono(a term giving respect) are you sure this is the right place?"

Sakura replied,"Kira Chan this is the right place, this is what the kidnappers said."

A few minutes later the kidnappers came in a Black Van and the side door opened and a Japanese man came outside with his eyes blindfolded and hands tied behind him. As soon as Sakura's followers saw that man they drew out their guns and the people from the van also came out and drew out their guns.

Then their leader came from inside the Van and said,"Sakura darling, I hate blood shed, Just give me the money and no one gets hurt."

Sakura replied,"The only ones getting hurt here are your people."

She then just glanced at Ravi and Ravi clenched his fists and got ready to finish all of them but just then a helicopter flew just above them and from that helicopter a big shadowy creature jumped into the narrow alley.

While jumping the shadowy creature broke the only street light that was casting light in the alley and as it was a new moon night everything became pitch black. For some time dead silence and then suddenly everyone started hearing Blood Curdling screams of pain, sounds of bones being broken and necks being snapped very clearly. In the lights of gunshots Ravi caught glimpses of the creature, it was not human and humongous.


Ravi traced Sakura and was standing in front of her and he asked,"Madam are you alright?"

Sakura had some kind of torch with her and she lit it and in its red glow what Ravi's saw made his eyes widen
Sakura asked her father,"Papa Are you alright?"

Ravi was astonished at what he saw and was too shocked to warn her and her father was blindfolded so he was in utter confusion as to what was happening around him. Just then the monster with its huge hands threw out Sakura as if she was some toothpick and rushed towards her father it passed Ravi without even touching him and directly pounced on her father, his Spinal Cord snapped and he died instantly without even knowing who or what killed him.

The monster though huge was very agile for its size and it quickly climbed a building and reached its rooftop and started running across rooftops. Ravi did not understand for a second what just happened but when he regained his senses he rushed to Sakura's side and she was taking her last breath.

She asked him in a very low voice,"Why didn't you protect my father?"

Ravi just replied,"My contract said nothing about protecting you people."

Sakura then died in Ravi's arms and Ravi got up and looking at her body he said,"Even if you are dead I will keep my part of the contract."

Ravi also quickly climbed the rooftop and saw the monster going at a distance running and jumping across buildings. Ravi was also quick and soon caught up with the monster but when he was still a little distance away from it he said in a low tone,"Inhibiting 70%" Then his custom made Casio G-Shock glowed green and showed the numbers 30% Ravi got a quick burst of speed and pounced on the monster. The monster was very furry and its coat was rough. The monster stopped for a second and shook Ravi off it and Ravi went and hit a wall of the building. He was trying to get up and the monster came very close to him and raised its two hands like a Gorilla to strike him but it stopped suddenly and turned its head to one side as if responding to a Call. Then it started running again. Ravi was trying to get up but his leg suffered a micro fracture and it was very painful for him to stand up. Ravi was not willing to give up so easily and he quickly searched his pockets and found a small knife and with An Assassin's Precision he threw the knife at it, the knife impaled one of the monster's arms but it did not care for it and as it neared a rooftop after which there were no buildings the helicopter that dropped the monster rose from the ground and the monster jumped into and the helicopter went away very quickly into the dark moonless sky but just before leaving into darkness in the light of the helicopter Ravi's eyes caught the letter "K" on it and it meant it belonged to The King.

Ravi was more surprised and felt more questions than answers in his life and forced himself to stand up and walk to the road. His leg had swollen by that time and just as he reached the road he made a phone call and within no time he was picked up and sent to a hospital.

The next morning Ravi woke up very early and went to the "Library" He went to the library early but it was already open and soon he was sitting on his table again and the next book was " Everything You Need to Know-Teen Edition ." He started reading the book he found the book interesting because in the book he found information about many things he never heard about, the book had information about everything from Pythagoras' Theorem to the scientific name of Blue Whale. Ravi spent hours reading and trying to remember anything and everything he could. Then after reading the book almost till the end he reached a chapter in the book which was called-" Love " and as any other chapter he continued reading the book but this was not a normal chapter, it was very different from the other chapters because it had no formulas, no scientific terms, no nothing but just assumptions and guesses. Ravi did not understand half of what he was reading and he wondered h...

“Pooja wake up, time to go to classes”, said a voice trying to wake up the half asleep girl to which the girl replied, “Mom today's the first day of school I don't want to go to Verma coaching institute at least once“ The girl's mother was now annoyed and sternly replied, “I don’t care if it’s your first day of school or not you are not going to miss even one day of coaching classes Pandu” That was it ”Mom don’t call me Pandu I am not 7 year old, I used to like it when I was little but now it’s strange so stop it and ok ok I will get ready soon” She quickly got ready and as usual her father dropped at the Coaching Center. He then said that he would come and pick her up after the classes and went away. Pooja was already late and she was walking fast towards the steps she stopped when she heard the footsteps of someone coming quickly towards her.

As the weeks passed, the park whose plan was laid by many engineers was taking shape by the help of students and anyone who was interested in helping. Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons were spent in gardening, digging dirt, planting saplings etc. but Pooja had to make up a lot of stories to come out of her house every week which included everything from " Special Classes At School to Visiting a Sick Friend ". One such Saturday evening while she was working on the Flower Beds near the Entrance Gate, she was working without a care in the world, Ravi came and joined her and they were working so hard that they got mud spots in many places on their faces and then Ravi asked Pooja,"Hey Pooja, how is it that you manage to come twice every week while others want to skip their share of work by giving some reasons." To this Pooja smiled shyly and replied,"Well Ravi the thing is that, I have a lot of childhood memories of playing in this green lot and I didn'...
