CHAPTER 2
Hiro stopped, he kept you stand behind his back and also kept holding his knife. The footstep was getting closer… closer. And then both of you saw a red-haired woman, she wear a black suit which shaped his body.
"Who are you? What do you want?" asked Hiro bravely.
"Hiro, don't challenge her. She's the one who killed my family. She just come back to take me" you whispered.
"I'll never let her to take you now. Trust me, you'll be safe from her. She has a gun and we didn't. So, we only can do a little fight and go home" Hiro replied and looked towards you.
"Hiro! Get down!" you shouted and pulled Hiro's shoulder to avoid as you saw the woman ready to shoot Hiro. And…
DORR!
The woman shot them, but fortunately it missed.
"Give me your stone" Hiro whispered. Without thinking, immediately you gave your stones to Hiro. Then..
PTENG..
Hiro threw a stone to the woman and made her gun fall.
"Hey! How dare you!" she took out another gun and…
DORR! DORR!
Hiro and you avoided as the bullets flew towards you both. Hiro threw one more stone to the woman, and it hit woman's head.
"Come on!" he pulled you. You and him ran and still ducking. Suddenly he let go of your hand and let you ran after him.
"Go find a place to hide!" he whispered.
"But—"
"No time! Don't worry about me! Trust me, I'll be fine" he said and stood up.
"Be careful" then you ran to find a place to hide. You watched Hiro fought with the woman in worry and prayed for his safety.
Hiro held and spun the woman's left hand, then kicked her back with his knee. But the woman looked feel no pain. She swung her right hand to hit Hiro's head but quickly Hiro dodged it. Hiro threw a fist to the woman's cheek, and successfully made it bruised. Without giving her a chance to attack, Hiro quickly swung his right leg and made that woman lose her balance. Automatically the woman collapsed, she moves her hand to reach a gun that stayed on the ground, but quickly Hiro took it and ran leave that woman.
"Come on! We have to run before she catch us!" Hiro grabbed your hand and ran. But suddenly…
DORR!
"Arrghh!" Hiro groaned as he felt a bullet succeed made a cut on his left arm and ripped his dark blue sweater. He knelt limply while enduring his pain.
"Hiro!" you worried, you saw the bloods began to drop from his right arm, he still endure the pain and suddenly dropped the gun from his right hand when his left hand began to reach the cut to stop the bloodstream. You glanced at the woman, she stood up and pointed the gun to Hiro. Without thinking long you picked up the gun and…
DORR!
You let the bullet flew approach that woman and make that woman's gun fell away, quickly you pointed the gun toward her again and…
DORR!
You let the bullet flew again, it managed to hit her.
"Arrrghh!" you heard her moaned, maybe she fell down. But you ignored it, you inserted the gun to your pocket. Then, you unwrapped your shawl from your neck and wrapped it on Hiro's arm as a temporary bandage.
"Come on, Hiro! I'll cure your cut in my home" you put his left hand around your nape and guided him to walk quickly before that woman shoots them again. .
"Thanks, (Y/N)" he replied haltingly.
"I should've thanked to you" .
He just gave a smile to you as a sign of thanks and kept following your step to your home's direction.
Without take a long time, both of you arrived. You spun the key in its hole, opened the door then pushed the light switch and also pushed a red button near the door, Hiro frowned as he saw you did it.
"What's the red button for?" he asked
"It's Protection System. Yeah, I'll explain later. Sit down please, I'll take some medicine to fix your wound" you let go of his hand.
"Okay, Thanks…" a thanked smile decked upon his lips. You replied his smile.
"Wait a minute, okay? I'll take a bowl" you left him alone in living room. He looked around, glanced every photos hanging in the wall, he saw you and your family photo, he saw your happy smile there, he showed a little smile to see it, he missed that smile, he thought that right now you lost your old soul, he just know you're such a bubbly girl, like to helping others, and definitely super-intelligent of science and technology, especially robotics, physics, and chemistry. But he can't blame you if you become a moody girl now, because he had feelings like you after Tadashi's death.
He bowed his head as he saw your older brother, he knew that your older brother was the first one who had sacrificed himself to your safety. He remembered when you spilled the tears, screamed, and stressed like a lunatic when you know your brother was buried underground. It's so painful, same feelings when he lost Tadashi.
Shortly, you came and brought water in a bowl and gauze, you sat beside him and put the bowl on the table.
"Does your blood is still flowing?" you glanced at the wrapped shawl in his arm.
"I don't know, I haven't open it" he replied. Then, you unwrapped the shawl from his arm.
"Please take off your sweater" you said. He followed your words and let you to cure his wound.
"Hey, you looked beautiful on that photo" Hiro's left hand pointed to your photo with your family. You glanced to that photo and instantly reminded of the memories when they're still alive.
"Yeah, thanks Hiro, but maybe I'll never get that smile anymore" you said while cleaning the rest of Hiro's bloods.
"Don't say that. You'll get it later" he smiled and looked at your (E/C) eyes sincerely.
"Yeah, probably" you replied while giving the antibiotic liquid to his cut.
"Ow!" he moaned.
"Sorry, Hiro" .
"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry" he assured you.
"Okay" you took a cloth bandage, you poured the antibiotic liquid on it and then covered his wound with it.
"Hiro, if you didn't challenge her you will not injured like this" .
"But if we dodge from her, she must be chase us, and catch us. She's such a nimble woman you know. Yeah, I admit it, she's a good fighter".
"How did you know? You know her?" you asked while wrapping a bandage to his arm.
"I wouldn't said 'Who are you' to her if I know her, (Y/N)" he chuckled.
"Oh yeah, I'm forget… sorry" you put the Elastoplast in his arm in order not loose.
"No problem, (Y/N). Thanks for curing my wound" he stroked your hair.
"I should've thanked to you, you just saved me" you stared his brown eyes in guilt. You shouldn't have made him fight and injured like this. But, you can't blame him, he was right, that red-haired woman will chase and catch you soon if Hiro didn't fight her.
"No problem, (Y/N)" he stared your eyes with a smile.
"Done" you smiled and put the last Elastoplast on his arm.
"Now, I'll call Aunt Cass to pick you up" you took your phone, but suddenly Hiro held your hand.
"Wait, are you serious? What if that woman come again and kidnaps you?".
"I'm serious Hiro, I've activated the Protection System here, so she couldn't enter this house" you told him.
"But, does it alright if you alone here?" he still looked worried.
"Make yourself believe that there will nothing happens to me" you gave him one more smile.
*The Next Day*
Your POV
I straightened my hand and tried to relax myself after finishing my tasks in my lab. Yes, I have been in SFIT early because of these tasks. I heard the 'crack' sound of my hand joints and it made my hand muscles relaxed. After it, I glanced at the snow outside, they had been covered the ground. As I stare them, some memories showed up. Yes, the memories about enjoying snowed winter with my family, especially with my older brother, I remembered when we made a war with the snowball, building snowman, and launching on top of the snow. The tears began to gather but I don't want to cry anymore, so I turned my head to see another thing. Then, I saw my piano, it's looked dusty. Yes, it's a long time I didn't play with it since I knew that my family was died.
I blew the dust and cleaned it with my hand. I sat in front of it and began to play some chords, I know what song I should to sing.
Down To Earth
Song by: Justin Bieber
I never thought that it'd be easy
Cause we both so distant now
And the walls are closing in on us
And we're wondering how
No one has a solid answer
But just walking in the dark
And you can see the look on my face
It just tears me apart
So we fight, through the hurt
and we cry and cry and cry and cry
and we live, and we learn
and we try and try and try and try
So it's up to you and it's up to me
That we meet in the middle on our way back down to Earth
Down to Earth, down to Earth
On our way back down to Earth
Back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth,
Back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth
Momma you were always somewhere
And daddy I live out of town
so tell me how could I ever be normal somehow?
You tell me this is for the best
so tell me why am I in tears?
Whoa.. So far away, and now I just need you here
So we fight, through the hurt
and we cry and cry and cry and cry
and we live, and we learn
and we try and try and try and try
So it's up to you and it's up to me
That we meet in the middle on our way back down to Earth
Down to Earth, down to Earth
On our way back down to Earth
Back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth,
Back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth, back down to Earth
We fell so far away from where we used to be
Now we're standing and where do we go
When there's no road to get to your heart
Let's start over again
So it's up to you and it's up to me
that we meet in the middle on our way back down to Earth
Down to Earth, down to Earth
on our way back down to Earth
I never thought it'd be easy
Cause we both so distant now
and the walls are closing in on us
and we're wondering how
I ended up the song, let the memories flashed up along the song and let the tears running down in my cheeks. I don't know how to break the connection between my memories with my sadness. When will this pain go away from my heart? It probably hard to kick it out. If it was a creature, I'll kick it away as easy as kicking a ball.
I bowed my head again, honestly, I don't want to spill my tears anymore. I really want to forget those memories, I wish I get amnesia to forget it. But how? Do I have to hit my head with a hammer to get amnesia? It's too crazy to do. I heard the door opened, and some people entered to my lab. Yes, it was Hiro and his friends, they gave me applause, they might like the song. But suddenly they stop clapping their palms as I turned my head towards them.
"(Y/N)…" I saw Honey Lemon stared me in concerns. And suddenly she wrapped her arms around my back.
"I can't see you cry like this (Y/N)" she stroked my back.
"Don't worry, we'll help you to investigate the case of your family's murder" she continued and let go of me. I smiled to her and my eyes met with her green eyes.
"By the way, your voice is amazing (Y/N) and you played the piano very well. Can you teach me?" asked Fred.
"Don't obey him, there will a thunderstorm if he sings while playing the piano" Gogo joked while popping her pink bubble gum. Everyone chuckled, except Gogo, Fred and Baymax.
"So… tell us about your family's murder based on your memories" Hiro said, he suddenly pulled another chair and sat beside me.
"Are you guys seriously wanted to listen?" I asked them.
"Of course, we have to know the story first before we do an investigation" I heard Wasabi replied.
"Did I hear word 'Investigation' ?" Fred looked excited.
"Yeah, what else.." Hiro replied.
"Yes! We're gonna be a det—" I heard Fred's words were interrupted by a duct tape which covered his mouth. Yes, Gogo did it.
"Ignore him and tell your memories about your family" she said. I took a deep breath as the gang faced me enthusiastically.
