'What are you doing?' I ask softly, but in the same time, I tried to make it sound strict and fierce. Eventhough I've seen all these fighting scenes a lot before this, I still could stand the bloody sight.
But then no one took notice of me. I was kindda of pissed off now.
'Stop at once. What do you think you're doing?!' I said slightly louder. And this time everyone stopped and looked at me. I wasn't afraid now. Who asked them to ignore me in the first place? Eventhough I looked weak but I'm more than I seemed to be. When Ryuosuke's free, he teaches me some techniques that I could protect myself with.
'Who are you?! And what do you think we're doing?! Can't you see?! Are you blind?!' the guy talking to Syaoran just now yelled at me. Heh, you think afraid of you?! I'm Ryuosuke Hanasaki's sister after-all.
'I'm Sakura Hanasaki. And I have perfect eyesight, thank you for asking.' I said calm and coldly. Ryuosuke said that it's very important that when you deal with all these people, you can never let them see that you're afraid or they'll take advantage of it.
'Then bug off! Get lost, you bitch!' he yelled at me. Syaoran obviously recognized me because when he saw me, he looked shocked.
'You better be really careful of what you're saying. Especially who you're saying to.' then I saw a guy beside him whispered to him something. His face changed a little but then he returned to normal again.
'So what?! Do you think I would care if you're Hanasaki's sister?!' he yelled at me, trying real hard to convince himself that he's not afraid of me. I could tell.
'I'm not sure about that but I wouldn't think you'd dare to hurt his sister, would you?' I said coldly, looking straight into his eyes.
'Why should I not hurt you while I've got the chance?! I would so don't get so full of yourself!' he yelled at me. There was a thick sense of fear in his tone.
'Oh yea?' I raised one eyebrow as if demanding an answer. He nodded after a while. I smiled evilly, revealing my teeth. 'I dare you to...'
He shivered a little alright, but then quickly ceased the chance to leave. 'You're lucky this time, you son of a bitch! We'll let you go...but you won't be so lucky next time!' then, in a swift, they left. I felt relieve draining me throughout my body.
'Syaoran, are you okay?' he's got a few scratches on his face and hands but otherwise, I think he's alright. But I thought I saw a few punches landed on his back.
'Come with me...I have a place that you could treat your wounds.' I gestured towards the place across the road. It was the hideout of me whenever anything happens. Not a lot of people know about it except for Ryuosuke and me. I always treat Ryuosuke's wounds there after he had a fight or something.
'Syao-kun, we'll be going...' one of the guys said to Syaoran and he nodded. Then the other guys left. I held onto his hand and crossed the road. There isn't a lot of cars in this hour since it's Sunday.
I took out the bunch of keys from my pocket and opened the wrecked wooden door. When we first found the place, there was just wooden walls around it and it was in a total mess. But then Ryuosuke bought a piece of glass and inserted it on the top of the roof.
When we lie down on the floor, we could see through the window, of the stars in the night sky, shining brightly down at us. There are shelf that Ryuosuke has fixed onto the walls and some blankets and clean clothes in separated baskets.
'Come in...' we had repainted the walls from the inside a few years ago. We found it when we were seven. Actually, I found it, to be accurate. That was the time when I was abandoned by my parents and moved into their house next door and went to the same private middle school as Ryuosuke.
At that time, there isn't a ceiling and everytime it rained, I would get wet. Then one day, Ryuosuke got curious about where I went everyday after school before going to the store to help out.
He found out about the place and promise that one day, he'll fix a ceiling for the place and it had became our safe-house ever since.
'Sit down somewhere, I'll treat your wounds...' Syaoran obeyed quietly and sat down in the corner that I've always liked. Because it was in the shadows, so it could not be clearly seen.
I took the first-aid kit from above the shelf and sat down in front of him. I took out some cotton buds and sprayed some antiseptic onto it.
'This might hurt a little...' I reached out when he opened his mouth to speak. My hand stopped in mid-air, out of place.
'Where in the hell did you get the idea that I needed your help?!' he said coldly but very certain.
'I just thought that...'
'You think that just because you're Ryuo's sister you could do anything you like?!' he continued, ignoring what I said.
'That wasn't it...'
'Why did you do that?! What if they went around saying that I needed a girl to get me out of tight spots?! And do you have any idea who was that you're talking with?! MAD's right-hand man's younger brother! Do you know how much trouble you could've brought me if he hadn't left?!' he yelled even louder and looked up at me.
I felt like crying. My soft-spoken responds startled him a little.
'I'm sorry, I was just trying to help...I didn't mean to bring any trouble...' tears sprang into my eyes and wetted my white skirt. I took a deep breath and wept my tears away. 'Now sit still, just for a while till I finish...'
I reached out again and started with the scratch next to his eyes. It was only centimeters away before it hurt his eyes. It was so quiet that I could practically here my heart breaking.
