"Ho Ho Ho! What do we have here?" The man proclaimed to his whole posse. "She looks like a little mouse!" A voice called from the group of men behind him.
The man snickered as he put his hands on his hips. "You ran into the ally way like a little mouse!" He kicked water into a girls face. She was up against the wall, cowering in fear. Her whole body shook.
"Poor little mouse. Cold and scared. You know, I could warm you right up!" His gang laughed sadistically at his joke.
She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out.
"What's the matter mouse? Cat got your tongue?" He lifted her chin with the tip of his knife. "You don't have to tell me your not a looker. I could already tell. But I'm not picky…" He smiled.
She wasn't a screamer. She never had been. Usually it was a good thing, but tonight it was a major disadvantage.
She had light brown eyes, and very long dark brown hair. She was always at the beach or pool, so her skin was fairly tan. She was short, only 5'5, but insists she's 5'5 and a half. Her favorite place to be was at the café, or sitting on the shore, as the water indolently moved inwards and then back out. But this man didn't care. As long as she was weak and vulnerable, which she was.
"What's going on here?" A voice called out. Every one turned around to look down the alley way.
A man with slicked back hair and dark brown eyes walked his way coolly down the alley.
"I don't think I like the look of this scene…" He said making a picture frame. "The lighting is a little off…It makes you look disgusting…" His picture frame found its way on the gangsters face. "Ugh…Actually…I don't think it's the lighting. Sorry Pal."
"Boys!" The gangster snapped, "Take care of this dope."
All the men dove at the hero.
She felt courage creep up her spine as she jumped up. "Wait!" She cried. She tried to get to her savior, but the man held a firm grip on her wrist.
"Come on little Mouse! Your rat's been squashed." He told her.
"Not by a long shot."
The gangster turned his head as the hero pounded his fist into his face. The guy recovered and grabbed the girl hostage. "I'll slit her throat buddy boy. Don't make a move."
"Okay." The hero put his hands up. "You got me." He closed his eyes and smirked.
"Yusuke!" A voice bellowed.
The gangster panicked.
"Whoa buddy… Calm down." Yusuke cooed.
"Calling for back up eh?!??!" He yelled.
"Don't do something stupid buddy!"
"You asked for it!!"
The gangster ran his knife across the girl's neck.
Yusuke's eyes widened.
The man pushed the girl on him and ran.
"Kuwabara!!!" He yelled. An orange haired man came to his side. Yusuke held the girl as blood poured onto his clothes. She coughed.
"Hurry! To a hospital!" Yusuke yelled as he picked her up.
"To far away! Lets go Genkai's!" Kuwabara told him.
They sped out of the alley.
