Kido Kenji...dies?
The fight for the world and the might to destroy it was still going on.
Tsugumi tried to give Ayase an Endlave but that was not so easy. She was caught up in her own fight, in a fight of hackers.
Who was it, her opponent?
Shibungi was already near his target. Tsugumi gave him a sign to wait a moment so he took his time.
He knew who he would meet and he knew who he had to kill. He knew exactly what was to happen soon.
He had to kill Kido Kenji!
After a few more steps he stood right before the door where his victim was behind. While the hackers were in there own world, fighting each other, he went into the room unnoticed. Kenji only realized his presence when Shibungi pointed his gun to the younger ones head. His eyes found the figure beside him.
"Checkmate, Kenji."
That was the time Shibungi stopped thinking and shot.
….BAMM...
…
…
…
But the situation turned another way than thought. Kido Kenji was still alive! There was no blood. A girl stood there. Her hair was black just like the night sky and her eyes were as green as a meadow. Kenji was behind her not believing what he saw.
How did this happen? Who was this girl? And why the hell did she rescue a mass murderer and terrorist?
"Please, I beg of you, let him live!" She looked deep into Shibungis eyes. "He will never do something bad again, I promise you! Please!"
She stood her ground confidently and seemed determined to rescue the hacker boy. Shibungi could not understand what this situation was. He was not an idiot but he still could just not understand!
"Mid-" Kenjis sentence was cut off by the strange girl.
"Shut up, Kenji! Just shut up! Can't you see that I try to save your ass here?"
Kenji irritably looked at her back. The shocked expression on his face showed how he never expected such a reaction from the girl.
"Why should I believe you, girly? Who can assure me that he will really not do more terrorizing actions when I let him go now? Who?"
The gun was now not pointed towards Kenji but towards the girl who still did not waver. He could not let Kido Kenji escape from here! He just could not risk it! He was dangerous! How could he ignore such a harmful person?
"Because I love him!" The atmosphere in the room changed into something between astonishment and disbelief. "I can insure his withdrawal from any action that could harm anyone!"
Shibungi heard her words again and again. He was surprised. He could not believe what she said just now. She loved him? She loved him! A mass murderer!
Kido Kenji's eyes were widened. He also seemed surprised but also quite shocked. Apparently even he did not know this before.
"Mi-Midori, what are you saying?"
She turned around to face him.
"I said: I love you, Kenji."
…
…
…
"I let you go." There were so much feelings in her words, he could not stand destroying this girls heart! And hopefully she could really be able to control Kenji.
"But, when I ever hear of you guys again, believe me, I will find you and kill you, both!"
After that he turned to the door and left the room as fast as he could. They knew the consequences. Either they kept to his conditions or they would die together. So, if she truly wanted Kido Kenji to stay alive she would do as he said. He was sure of it.
Midori and Kenji were flabbergasted. But they had to hurry so they got out of the room as well. Midori got a hold of Kenjis hand and dragged him with her. She moved so quick that he could not even protest.
A few minutes later they were in a secret tunnel system. Kenji could not stand it any longer and ripped his hand away from her hold.
"How did you know that no one would be here? Damn it, Midori, why are you even here? Don't you know how dangerous it is?!"
"Kenji, we have no time to fight now! We have to get going! Come on, please!"
She tried to grab his hand again but he slapped hers away.
"I want an explanation! Now! I have no time to joke around! I have an order and I can't just leave now!"
"Kenji...What you're doing here is bad...Did you not see that they want to kill you? You would be dead if it wasn't for me! Do you want that? Dying? You can't actually think of wanting that, can you? That would be preposterous! Please, Kenji! Please, come with me now! I don't want to lose you again! I beg of you! Please!"
Kenji was stunned. He felt something weird. Never had he thought of friendship or love. Sacrifices were not important to him. Killing was an easy task. But why did he have this strange feeling of doing something wrong now if he fulfilled his mission?
Now that Midori was here something had changed. She confused him and his little world.
He knew her a long time already. He met her far before he was imprisoned.
