Chapter 14: Seijyun of Fire? (Part 2)

Raizo screeched his SUV to a halt as he reached the Seijyun courtyard, at least three acres away from the building. Everyone jumped out from the car and started running towards the building.

They finally came to the building and the fire officers are trying to clean up the area now that the fire is out. Kyosuke ran to other Seijyun students asking if they have seen Yurika or her friends, one of them directed them towards the student center, Kyosuke also noticed the she was literally drooling and he couldn't figure it out why.

As they got inside, Akira, Zaki, Gan and Edge were patching each other up. They had a few scrapes and bruises because they were helping everyone out of the building.

"Hey," Batsu spoke seeing the group. "Is everyone alright?"

"Other than a few cuts, we're cool." Zaki said.

"AHH! Damn it, Akira! That shit stings!" Edge screamed as Akira tried to put some Alcohol on his cuts.

"Calm down, unless you want an infection!" Akira fanged at Edge giving a Daigo-like glare that made him chill out instantly.

"Geh Ha Ha Ha!" Gan crowed. "What other proof you need that she is Big Boss Daigo's little sister?"

"AKIRA!" Boomed a deep voice down a hall, then a large person walked in the room when the others gathered, none other than Daigo Kazama.

"Boss!" Gan and Edge said simultaneously.

"Akira, I came as soon as I heard. Is everyone alright?"

"Yes, but Yurika is still shaken, mainly because the fire started from her room."

"Her room?" He asked.

"Daigo, you may want to sit down for a bit." Kyosuke said. "I will try to fill you in."

As time progressed, Kyosuke told him that according to some witnesses, some unknown men barged Yurika's room and set it on fire. Her room as well as Zaki and Akira rooms took the brunt of the fire and have to live somewhere else until they are repaired.

After Kyosuke told every the low-down about everything that was going on, Batsu spoke.

"Now that they know where Yurika stays, it will be a bad idea to leave her here."

"I agree." Akira said. "But where is a good place for her?"

"A place where we all can keep an eye on her until this is over." Zaki said.

"There has to be somewhere…Ah! Of course!" Kyosuke spoke. "My family mansion!"

"Hey, are you sure about that?" Edge asked with a cocked eyebrow. "I mean that is a nice pad but and…well…"

"What he is trying to say is that we don't really want to intrude." Daigo finished for Edge.

"No, there are plenty of rooms and a great security alarm."

"Hey I am for it!" Batsu said with enthusiasm. "Not to mention he has a lot of food!"

Everyone groaned.

"I'm for that Idea too." Akira said. "And I am sure Daigo, Gan, and Edge will help too."

"Yes of course." Daigo responded looking at his two followers as they nodded as well.

"Then it's settled!" Hinata said cheerfully. "We will grab our stuff and meet at Kyosuke's Mansion! It will be like one big sleep over!"

"Hey! Don't forget the matter at hand Hina-chan." Batsu said sternly.

"I know, to protect Yurika…Hey! Where is she anyhow?"

Akira looked to the side of her and noticed she was gone. "Well she was right beside me."

"Yo, is that her under that tree?" Edge pointed outside. She sat there with her chin on her knees. She looked like she was going to lose her mind.

"Hey everyone let me handle this. I will meet you at the mansion." Everyone nodded and left. Kyosuke went outside and walked toward the cherry blossom tree that Yurika is currently hiding under.

"Are you okay?" Kyosuke asked.

"No…" she responded with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry. Everything will be okay."

"Kyosuke…I'm scared…are they really going to…(sob)"

"No. Not if we have something to say about it."

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Everyone will gather at my mansion, will be there for a few days to watch over you. I will watch you as well, as if my life depended on it."

Yurika jerked away. "Don't say that! DON'T SAY THAT!" She kept repeating that as she cried on chest. "I don't want that to happen!" Then she looked up. "I don't know what I will do if that happens!"

"Shhh, its okay." Kyosuke said calmly as he held her comfortably. "I will protect you."

From behind the bushes, Kurow watched the couple from a distance. "I can only watch you room afar my dear sister, but I will be there too." he thought as he walked off.
