Chapter 6: The Disk

Mamoru sighed as he sat down and made himself comfortible under a tree in the courtyard of the private school he and June attended. Most of the students liked to eat lunch outside when the weather was nice, and even though it had rained earlier that morning, the sizzling summer sun had quickly dried the outdoors. As he unpacked the lunch his mother had placed in his bag this morning while they were talking, he thought back to earlier when he and June had decided to check out the disk on a computer in the library during their free period.


(Flashback)
Hey Mamo-chan are you going to hold onto that disk all morning, or are you going to share the wealth, and let me see what's on it? June stated from her seat behind her best friend.

Mamoru just rolled his eyes at June's complaining, she had been bugging him about the disk ever since first period and they had already been yelled at twice by their teachers for talking in class. Mamoru was just lucky he hadn't been given detention yet.

Taking his pen in hand Mamoru decided to write June a note and tell her that they could get together during free period in the library before lunch and check out the file then. Once the note was written he handed it back to her when he saw the teacher's back turned, and prayed that this would satisfy his enthusiastic friend for a while.

At the feeling of being tapped on the shoulder Mamoru turned around to see June nod her head and smile as she folded his note and stuffed it into her doodle covered note book. Sighing with satisfaction that he had finally placated her, Mamoru turned around and attempted to pay attention to the rest of the lecture.
(End of Flashback)

As he chewed on the spiced chicken his mother had packed for him, Mamoru couldn't help but shiver at what he and June had found on the disk. From what his mother had told him of what she had seen, he already knew he would see his father's name and a list of other names, but he had been seriously unprepared for what had actually been there, and so had June.

(Flashback)
Ok lets see what you found oh wise one, June said with a smirk as she plopped down in a chair by a computer she and Mamoru had chosen. It was a convenient location, away from other students and the librarians, who might wonder at what she and her partner in crime were up to.

Mamoru gave her a sly smile and said, I hope you will like wearing a ballerina costume while dusting and don't have plans this weekend or anything, because you have a date with the dust bunnies in my room.

Her lips jetted out in a pathetic attempt at a pout, June retaliated by jumping out of her chair to attach herself to Mamoru's shoulders from behind his chair, you wouldn't subject your best friend to your mom's ugly old Halloween costume would you? I know you are just as bent as I am Mamoru, but that is just wrong!

Laughing at June's lame attempt to save herself from the embarrassment of having her picture taken in a ballerina costume with a duster, Mamoru opened up the files on the disk he had brought with him to school.

June's juvenile complaining and giggles immediately stopped as she saw the files opened and her attention was now solely on the contents within, the subject of her impending humiliation forgotten.

The two hackers scanned the files that the disk contained, and discovered two disturbing facts: one was that June's father was not just being blackmailed, but that he had a lot to be blackmailed about, and two that Takatori Reiji was not just a name on a list as Mamoru had hoped; he was in fact the person who was blackmailing June's father, and was scheduled to make a trip to Kyoto within the month!

Angered not only at the revelation that some big politician and businessman was blackmailing her father, but that her father himself was involved with illegal smuggling cartels and arm's dealers June slammed her hand to the desk causing Mamoru to jump in his seat.

How the hell could he be doing such things, I always knew my father was too busy to spend time with me and my sister but he is a criminal! June was seething with anger, she had been under the idea all her life that her dad ran an import and export business and was an upstanding citizen. That knowledge had helped her accept the fact that her father had little time for her or the rest of his family. When she had hacked into his computer and found that he was making large deposits of money in a Swiss bank account, and she had seen the messages left for him by the person blackmailing him, she had immediately felt the need to protect her father.

The illusion that she had lived under all her life was shattered and as she turned to her friend for moral support she was shocked to notice that Mamoru's face had turned an ashen white, and he was looking wide eyed at the screen in front of him.

Wondering why Mamoru was so shaken up by her family's problems she momentarily forgot her self pity and placed a converting hand on his shoulder, but noticed he didn't react to her touch, this immediately confused her further and made her feel a slight panic. Mamoru had only ever acted like this one other time, during which she had known him, and that had been when she had first asked him about his other family.

Mamoru did feel June's hand on his shoulder but his mind was in such a jumble of thoughts that he couldn't pull himself away. His father was coming here! To Kyoto, and soon! No this was not possible, it couldn't be.

Frantically scrolling down the file, and ignoring June's increasing concern, Mamoru continued to read the file and found out that her father was indeed being blackmailed into helping Taketori with a secret project which was not named but whatever it was, Mamoru's father was holding June's father's illegal activities over his head as a means of getting his corporation.

If that in itself was not disturbing enough, the dates of Taketori's arrival in Kyoto was the icing on the cake, HE WAS ALREADY HERE!

Immediately broken out of his inner panic by June practically smacking him upside the head, Mamoru turned to her worry stricken face as he heard a librarian's shushing in the background and the murmur of disturbed students around them. He immediately turned back to the computer and closed the file, then removed the disk from the disk drive.

Jumping to his feet Mamoru grabbed June by her arm and dragged her out of the library, telling her to go get her lunch, and then they would talk, but right now he needed to make a phone call.
(End of Flashback)

Mamoru plastered an obviously fake smile on his face as he saw June running down the path toward him, her lunch bag in hand and an eager and anxious look on her face. He had indeed made a phone call while at his locker getting his own lunch, he had called his mother.

Mamoru didn't really know what to tell her over the phone, just coming out and saying, hi mom its me Mamoru, how is your day going, mine is fine, oh and by the way dad is coming to town! No that wouldn't do, he decided this was something he needed to tell her in person, so he just told her to make sure to come home right after work and that they needed to talk.

While every instinct and all that his mother had told him about his father screamed to Mamoru to run home and tell his mother right away that they needed to get the hell out of Kyoto, at the same time Mamoru didn't want to leave. He had a life here now and friends, he liked his school and was doing well, and he knew his mother was happy here too.

Maybe his father didn't even know they were here, maybe he had given up on trying to find them and was just here on business. It was a nice fantasy but deep down Mamoru knew that he was kidding himself, his father had been trying to locate them for the past 12 years, why would he give up now.

Mamoru needed to think seriously about what he was going to do now; if he told his mother about what he had found on the disk it would all be over. She would have them packed up and out of the city by tomorrow. He needed to know for certain if that was really necessary, which meant he needed to know if Taketori was here on business, or if he knew his wayward wife and her son were here as well.

This in mind Mamoru greeted the concerned gaze of his friend June and as much as he didn't want to involve her in his problems he knew he would need to go back to her father's office, and he needed her to do that successfully. Now that she knew her father's secret life she would most likely jump at the opportunity to learn more.

Before he told her this however, Mamoru knew he would have to do something that his mother had made him swear he would never do, he had to tell his best friend about his family and why he and his mother were in constant fear for their lives.
