Mua ha ha ha ha…
…sorry that was random…
Chapter 11
Everything was a standstill. The gang members stopped in their tracks, knowing the deed that was about to be done. Retsu stopped attacking, thinking that if he hurt anyone else, it would provoke the person behind me to get the job over with faster. I let myself go slack and dropped my blades, hoping that the person wouldn't think that I was intending to kill him before he could kill me. But he didn't loosen his tight hold. The person pressed the dagger harder against my throat. I decided to count my heartbeats before I died, knowing that for each heartbeat I counted I was still, but that the next heartbeat won't happen. I was up to two heartbeats when I felt the arm with the dagger stiffen, and up to five when I heard a low voice say, "Drop the knife or I'll slit your throat just enough so that you suffer for five very long minutes."
The eyes of the gang members flashed with fear. Who's voice was that?
"Let go of her," the voice said, angrily. Twenty-four…
No answer from the person who was holding me. Twenty-eight…Why wasn't anyone doing anything?
"Do I have to count to three?" That voice…I knew it…but it can't be…how did he…know? Forty…
"3…" Forty-one. "2…" Forty-two "1…" Forty-three…There was a distinct yet soft thud and the grip around me slackened. I turned quickly to see what had happened. The person who held the knife to my neck was the girl who challenged Retsu and I, and she was on the ground. The person who threatened her had a knife in his hand had the name Hiro Sohma. A chill went through me.
"Did you kill her?" I asked softly, and a surprised tone slipped through my mouth.
"Maybe," Hiro said casually. A wave of anger went through the crowd and chaos bloomed again. I scooped the daggers from the ground and continued to fight back.
"Why're you here?" I yelled over the noise.
"Found out you were in a fight," He said mildly. He pocketed the knife he was using before and resorted to fists.
"Then how—" I was cut off by screams. Showers of blood ran along the ally wall, daggers flying and gang members falling and piles of bodies and puddles of blood. The whole outer edges near the wall were gone swiftly. People quickly backed from the wall. Retsu looked slightly alarmed, and Hiro actually swore out loud. I was curious though. Kuragari could do that, but she couldn't do two ends at one time. Could he be back? I was still contemplating the thought when there were more startled shouts. The gang was being divided down the center like a zipper, but when the zipper reached us, it went around us and killed the gang members around us and went on. This time I saw flashes of black and I knew that I was correct. Kuragari and Karasu were the two shadow assassins of the gang and two of the Four Fangs. Retsu also caught who they were since his shocked expression slid of his face and then went to attack the stunned members. I did the same, taking advantage of their surprise. Hiro followed suit, but he probably didn't even catch the swift movements. But the gang caught on track in a couple of seconds. I was absorbed in the battle and adrenaline coursed through my veins. But it didn't stop a sudden prickly feeling on the back of my neck? We were…being watched? I slashed someone in the face and scanned the alley quickly. I don't see anyone…
BAM!
An exploding sound tore through the air and rang in my ears. A gun!
