Since my muse was on Orthros mode... and J-drama mode. Taking a break from Shinkenger until I could figure out what to think/write about with the introduction of Shiba Kaoru. Back track posting.
Title: Second Life
Chapter: 2 - Shadow of Heracles
Character: Aoi Ryosuke, Ryuzaki Shinji, Hasebe Nagisa, Sawamura Takayuki
Fandom: Orthros no Inu
Rating: G
Summary: Detective Hasebe received the dreaded news of Sawamura's escape from prison as she vowed to protect the Tatsumi siblings...
A/N: I guess the ratings still stands. Probably.

Nagisa smiled to herself as she cleared her tables of the day’s paperwork. It had been such a fine day. Earlier, she managed to get a hold of Aoi’s sister and told her of the plan. Shiho sounded delighted by the sound of it and said that she’d try her best to get her parents to attend the party. Chiharu had confirmed her attendance as well, that should be all. She’ll leave the other invitations to Shirakawa and Shiho to handle while she helped out with the reservations.
All of these planning had made her giddy with expectations. She couldn’t wait for the day to arrive! Ao—Ryosuke would be so thrilled. Now if only Shinji would attend the party, which would be the best gift she could give to the person. It had been pure coincidence that she managed to notice his presence the other day, watching over Ryosuke from afar. So what he said earlier about his powers did not kill his brother was right after all. Trust the brotherly instincts between the two...
Nagisa smiled again as she closed her folder before her attention was caught by a young officer running across the department in a hurry. She followed the young man towards Chief Goto’s office as she overheard the alarming news.
“Bad news, chief. We’ve just received a message from the central prison. Sawamura had escaped, sir.”
Nagisa let out an alarmed cry as the young officer and Chief Goto turned to look at her.
“Ah... Hasebe-kun, sorry to have you receive this news like this.”
Nagisa hastily came closer as she frowned.
“How did that happened? How did he escape?”
The young officer, Aomori Yukawa-kun; opened his notepad to explain the situation.
“It happened last night. There was a commotion at the cells where Sawamura was placed in. Some of the guards had come in to check the situation and it turned ugly as the other in-mates started rioting. It was not until an hour later when the warden noticed Sawamura missing.”
He looked up.
“It seemed the commotion was started by Sawamura as he managed to cause the other in-mates to fight each other and used the confusion to escape. Details about this were still kept secret as for now.”
Chief Goto nodded to himself.
“Good. Better not have the public worry about some mad police officer on the loose. We should assemble a team to track down the guy as well.”
The young officer added. “Chief, this was unconfirmed... but some of the wardens had overheard him talking about some unfinished mission. They were thinking that it might be related to his motive to escape.”
“That’s quite troublesome...”
Nagisa bit her lips. Why did this have to happen now? Just when she thought life had become normal again... things like this would always came up to keep her guards up again.
“Hasebe-kun...”
Nagisa looked up as Chief Goto stared straight towards her.
“You better be careful now. Sawamura had a grudge on you... you’re the one that led him into the prison. If his reasoning to escape was all about revenge, he’ll be after you soon enough!”
That’s not it, she thought fearfully. There were two more people that Sawamura would go after first before her. Aoi—no, Tatsumi Ryosuke and Tatsumi Shinji. They would certainly be on his list of people that he would have had grudge on. Ryosuke... because in a way, he had betrayed him and Shinji, just because of the nature of the God’s hand power.
Did Sawamura even know that they have lost their powers? Unlikely. As it was right now, ‘Ryuzaki’ was officially dead. And not many knew about Ryosuke’s powers, so it was likelier that Sawamura would be after him first. Nagisa felt her heartbeat racing as her anxiety increased.
“We should also alert Stateswoman Sakaki and Kumakiri about this. They would be in danger as well.”
Nagisa nodded.
“Then I’ll be watching over Aoi-san and Ryuzaki. It was highly probable that they would be targeted first. Sawamura had always been obsessed about Aoi ever since he learned about the Devil’s hand. And he had always despised Ryuzaki...”
“Ryuzaki? Isn’t he—?”
“He’s alive. I’ve met him few days ago, he seemed to be living under a very low-profile himself nowadays. I happened to spot him while I’ve been visiting Aoi recently. It seemed he had intended to have everyone thought of him to be dead.”
Chief Goto sighed.
“Then you handle that. I’ll assign a few other officers to assist you. Sawamura is a dangerous man. We cannot take him lightly over this, he’s still a former police officer. There are lives at stake here.”
Nagisa agreed. It was up to her to protect the two men, especially since they were normal people without any special powers now. She would keep this a secret, she couldn’t have them worrying about their safety now. As well as everyone related to them. She couldn’t bear it to see them live in fear. Especially when they were supposed to celebrate Ryosuke’s 26th birthday anytime soon...
I’ll protect you... Aoi-san!

In some secluded, abandoned building... a haggard-looking man was diligently cleaning out the parts of a revolver pistol that he managed to snatch from one of the guards he had stumbled to during his escape. Once he had cleaned the parts with the same diligence and focus he had earlier; he carefully reassembled the parts to form the proper revolver. He weighed the revolver on his palm, trying to get used to the feel of the gun on his hand.
It wasn’t the usual weapon that he always used when undergoing his mission in the past. But beggars couldn’t be choosers and he just have to accept whatever item he could get in his hands. Even Heracles hadn’t just rely on one weapon when he set on his mission to slay the Nemean Lion, the Lernaean Hydra, the Stymphalian Birds and many other monsters he had encountered. He shouldn’t be arrogant in his quest to purge this world from every element that could threaten its stability. He would succeed what he had failed to do last time.
Orthros was killed by Heracles. Like in that Greek mythology, he would kill the one with the Demon’s hand... and everyone else who had protected him. By his hands... by his hands, he would shape this world the way it should have been set...
With that thought etched firmly in his mind, Sawamura Takayuki smiled.
