To say Heiwajima Shizuo was confused was an understatement. A complete and utter understatement.
One minute this girl was perfectly fine, crossing the street like everyone else. Then suddenly she stopped and crumbled to the ground in the middle of the street. And as fate would have it, a car zoomed down the street and was heading straight towards her, the driver clearly not paying too much attention to the streets.
Onlookers cried out in shock, the scene playing out in their minds. Before Tom and the other onlookers could even blink, Shizuo was already out in the street and shielding the girl from the incoming car.
It was then that the driver slammed on his brakes, though he still slammed into the blonde, who skidded back with the girl in his arms. The driver jumped out of his car and started shouting apologies that fell on deaf ears.
Tom immediately started dialing 911 and tossed a worried glance at Shizuo, hoping that he wouldn't do anything rash in the meantime.
The crowd that had formed instantly recognized Shizuo and feared the fate of the driver that rammed into him. However, Shizuo surprised everyone when he directed his anger to the unconscious girl instead. He violently shook her by her shoulders and shouted.
"Wake the hell up, dumbass!"
The girl stirred instantly, her brown eyes fluttering open. Strands of her dark auburn hair fell in her face as she shifted in Shizuo's tight grasp. When her vision cleared, she looked up at the man above her and then the crowd that had gathered. She blinked a couple times and, with a large smile, said something that rendered Shizuo speechless.
"Oh! Did I fall asleep again? Hehe... oops!"
