Shield
None of them really expected this to happen. For Yui, of all people, to gain a male suitor, especially when she is dating and living with Azusa. It came to a surprise to Azusa as well, however when Yui came home in tears because the so called suitor was pressuring her into leaving Azusa for him, and it only made the pigtailed girl even more furious. It had gotten to the point where Azusa could no longer stand for Yui being alone and would meet her at her classes so she could walk her to her next.
But the man was persistent. His name was Wanjoubo, at least that was all Azusa could remember about him. He went to the university next to hers and Yui's and they met only by coincidence when the airhead was going to meet Azusa for lunch. He followed her. And right when Azusa set her eyes on the man she couldn't stop the instant jealousy that flared in her very soul.
Wanjoubo seemed like a kind man at first, going out of his way to walk Yui to their meeting spot before he turned into a vicious viper that wanted nothing more then to make the poor innocent Yui his prey.
After that day he began meeting her outside the university's gates, giving her flowers and chocolates (all of which Yui refused), and even offered her money just to go out with him. Yui wasn't that stupid and she saw through the hallow man's lies and tall tales and turned each one of his advances down.
But that didn't stop him. He began threatening her through mail, Azusa remembered seeing the first one. Yui was sitting on the couch with a hand over her mouth while tears were welling up in her eyes as the younger guitarist snatched the paper out of her hands and read it herself.
If you don't want to get hurt you'll go out with me.
If you don't want your roommate hurt, you'll go out with me.
If you don't want any of your friends to be hurt you'll go out with me.
The man was insufferable. Azusa was fuming as she threw each letter away and promised Yui she'd never leave her side again just to make sure she didn't get hurt.
But one day, just one day seemed to be enough. Azusa couldn't get out of class fast enough and Yui had to make the trip home by herself.
Azusa cursed her luck when she was finally able to get out of the lecture hall before pulling out her phone to call Yui to see if she made it home all right. But as the phone continued to ring without anyone picking up, Azusa could feel her heart drop into her stomach.
No.
Was the only thing going through her mind as she sent frantic texts to each one of her friends at the college and even the old members of the Light Music Club, telling them all Yui was missing and she needed their help to find her.
Mio and Ritsu were the first to respond saying they'd look for her everywhere they could and would call back if they found anything.
Tsumugi and Ui were next, saying they hadn't heard from her all day and that they would help in any way they could. Even if it meant Tsumugi getting some of her father's bodyguards to come with them so they could find Yui faster.
Even Jun and Lynn said they would run over to the university grounds to help look for Yui.
Azusa didn't reply to any of them after she read those messages. It was nice knowing she wasn't the only person running around the campus at night looking for her lost lover. She was extremely worried she would get there too late. That something unspeakable would happen to her innocent Yui. Why did the innocent ones have to suffer the most? Yui had done nothing in her life that make her the victim of such a horrible crime. Azusa felt tears in her eyes as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
Then she heard it; it was a faint yell of pain and fear.
Yui!
Azusa ran towards the sound and as she got closer she could hear two people struggling, a man grunting in pain before a high pitched voice yelled out once more before it was smothered by something, maybe a hand.
"Shut up! I told you if you don't I'm just going to hurt you more."
"L-Leave me alone!"
Azusa could feel her lip upturn into a snarl as she quickly ran into the alleyway where the voices were and before anything else could happen the raging girl jumped onto the man's back and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck as he began thrashing.
"A-Azusa!"
"W-What the fu-Get off!" Wanjoubo began clawing at Azusa's arms to try and get her to release him, but her adrenaline was spiked so high that she couldn't feel the pain, couldn't feel anything that is, until he rocketed backwards slamming the girl on his back against the wall. Azusa felt her back connect to the brick wall then felt her head smack hard against it. Her vision blurred and her arms went slack, enough for Wanjoubo to pry her off and toss her to the ground next to Yui.
As her vision began to clear, she could see Yui was all right for the most part, she looked a bit shaken and clothing looked in slight disarray, but other then that she looked fine.
But Wanjoubo stood ominously above the two lovers before he reached out to yank Yui by the arm making her yell out once more.
Azusa saw red.
She was once again up and she tackled the man to the ground, making him release Yui once more, as she began to slap, punch, and hit anything she could reach. The man made a grunt of discomfort as he was pelted with the tiny fists before he grabbed one of her hands and twisted it backwards making Azusa wince as he pushed her off once more.
"You little…"
"Bastard!" Azusa yelled as she felt him yank her to her feet before a fist connected with her temple, rendering her sight useless once more as spots began to overtake her vision.
"I'll teach you to interrupt…" When Azusa heard that she felt something sharp connect with her ribs. She wasn't sure what had just hit her until she felt it once again, this time pain began to blossom through her entire body when she realized Wanjoubo was kicking her as hard as he could while she was down on the ground. Azusa couldn't see, couldn't hear and her mouth began to fill with a coppery taste as she let out yelps of pain as she felt something in her snap. That hurt much more then anything she had ever felt before and even more blood began to fill her mouth as she let out a scream of pain. However, the pain stopped and Azusa wondered why for a moment until she heard a whimper from on top of her. She then realized that another person was shielding her body from the assault. As her vision began to sharpen her eyes widened when she noticed Yui covering her body with her own, taking the sharp kicks. The look of pain was etched into Yui's innocent feature and Azusa could do nothing but watch wide eyed as the man continued his assault.
"OI! Bastard! Leave them alone!"
"Mugi! Over here!"
Azusa vaguely heard as she felt Yui sigh weakly as the man stopped kicking and began to run while an angry drummer chased after him.
"Over there! Get him!" She could hear Tsumugi yell before a gasp followed her voice.
"Onee-chan! Azusa-chan!"
"Quick call an ambulance!"
"R-Right!"
That was Ui, Jun and Lynn. They had found them. Azusa slowly felt her consciousness slip away as Yui tightened her grip on the younger girl while tears began to pelt the wounded girl's body.
"A-Azusa…stay awake…"
She heard Yui plead, but as garnet orbs slowly closed she felt her own lips move. She wanted to tell Yui everything was going to be fine, that she was fine, but as blackness over took her mind, she knew she was too hurt to even think straight. However, she was happy that her friends had found them when they did.
The next thing Azusa saw when her eyes opened was bright white. It hurt so much that her head began to pound as she closed her eyes once more. She wondered if she had died and gone to heaven, but knew that was stupid for she still felt pain.
"She's waking up! Onee-chan look!"
"A-Azusa?"
Azusa felt her hand get squeezed softly before she slowly opened her eyes once more and couldn't help but smile weakly when she saw Yui's bright smile and tears. Now that they were in a bright hospital room Azusa could plainly see what damage had been done to her lover. She had a bandage on her cheek and around her neck while she looked to be in normal clothing but as Azusa's eyes traveled down Yui's arms she could see a few bandages there as well. Worry over took her common sense and she returned the squeeze before opening her mouth to talk. At first all that came out was a weak noise before she cleared her throat and tried once more.
"Y….Y-Yui…are you okay?"
"Me?...A-Azusa you…you're the one who got hurt the most…I just had a few bruises and cuts…" Yui whispered weakly as she began nuzzling the hand that held her own. "You…had a concussion…a broken rib…and your arm is…b-broken too."
"…I don't care…are you okay…he was kicking you too…"
"I know…but…I have bruises on my ribs too, but you…Azusa…"
"Azusa-chan, you've been out for two days…Onee-chan was really worried about you."
Azusa finally noticed everyone who was in the room. Ui was sitting next to Yui, patting her sister calmly on the back while Tsumugi was sitting behind her looking equally as worried. Mio and Ritsu standing in the back looking very relieved to see their kouhai awake once more while Jun and Lynn were at the foot of her hospital bed smiling happily.
Azusa wanted to move more, but after hearing about her broken bones she decided against it and pulled her hand out of Yui's grasp so she could stroke the girl's tears away.
"Shh…it's okay…I'm not dead so don't cry so much."
"B-But…you passed out after I-I told you not to…I was so worried you wouldn't wake back up…" Yui whimpered out as she nuzzled the hand more firmly. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…if I had just waited for you to get out of class he wouldn't have…"
Azusa shushed her once more as she ran her fingers through Yui's messy hair before stroking the back of her neck with one finger, trying hard to sooth her girlfriend's worries.
"I'm awake now…it'll be okay…I just need to recover."
"I'll take good care of you Azusa! Just you wait and see, I'll cook for you, get your homework and I'll bath you-"
"Oi, leave that talk for the apartment, stupid." Ritsu said playfully as she patted the still distressed girl on the head.
Azusa looked over everyone's smiling faces before she couldn't help herself, she had to know about what happened.
"Uhm…Ritsu-senpai…?"
"Yes?"
"What happened to that man…"
"Ah…well he almost got away, but Mugi's bodyguards tackled him before he could get to his car…it was pretty intense you should have seen it! I've never seen so many guys in suits tackle a man like that!"
"It was pretty intense…" Mio added as she rolled her eyes.
Azusa laughed softly while Yui continued to list off things they would do while she was recovering and she couldn't help but be thankful for their love. Yui had protected her, even after Azusa tried to protect her. She was happy to have someone like that in her life as well as have wonderful friends who were willing to back them up in times of need.
Author Notes: I have been so stressed lately and I have to admit something…when I get stressed I take it out on characters I like .. So this prompt was made! It could have been so much worse, but I don't like stories like that which is why this one ends so well. It still made me sad though, I don't like the idea of Azusa and Yui getting hurt…its like the equivalent of a kitten and a puppy getting kicked. T_T aw I just depressed myself more. Pout anyways, working on this prompt as well as everything else…sorry I'm getting a bit slow with updates. It's just been so stressful lately.
