Hey! So this chapter is actually subjected for tomorrow, but then when I checked my schedule, I realized that I'm fully booked 'till the end of the day. No time to open my laptop and update. So instead, I'll post it today!

=Usui's POV=

Strangely, I didn't feel any pain.

'Am I dead?' I asked myself.

Then I looked at the two girls.

Now I know why I didn't feel any pain.

The bullet never reached me.

Apparently, Misaki threw herself in the last minute in front of the gun, using her body to block the bullet from piercing in my chest. She laid there on her shoulder, her back facing me.

"Ayuzawa!" I ran towards them and kneeled down. I turned her around so that her back was flat on the ground. Her eyes were shut tight.

"Ugh," she opened her eyes a little.

"Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah," she said, trying to sit up straight.

'She's conscious...' I let out a relieved sigh.

"Here," I helped her up. "Are you alright, Ayuzawa?" I grabbed both of her shoulders and shook them gently.

She flinched in pain, trying so hard to hide her pain.

I released my grip and saw trails of blood on my palm.

I looked back to her upper arm and saw an abhorrent deep gash. I mean, a scratch doesn't seem so bad, right? But the one on her arm... I think the whole bullet was buried inside her flesh. Fortunately, blood wasn't bursting out of her, so that's good. But unfortunately, blood was dripping slowly.

"Seems like the bullet gave you a deep cut there..." I murmured.

"It's just a cut, no biggie," she whispered, her face pale.

"How can you possibly say that this is no biggie, Ayuzawa..." I yank away her sleeve on her bad arm so that it won't irritate the wound and carried her up bridal style.

"What are you doing, Usui?" She tried to argue, but she was in too much pain to do so.

"Bringing you to the hospital," I replied while shifting her so that I wouldn't put pressure to her bad arm, which was her right arm, and result to it getting even worse.

"Put me down, Usui... I don't... Need to go... To the hospital..." Her voice trailed off.

"As expected from you..." I sighed and smiled.

I started running slow – I wanted to run fast, but then it would be better for me to do it slowly, since that way I wouldn't risk bumping her wound – towards the door when Minami suddenly stood up and said:

"Wanting to be a hero, but end up injured... What a pathetic girl she is."

That created a fire inside me.

I turned towards her and said, "What's more pathetic is a girl holding a gun, saying things that only would happen in soap operas. Oh, and police would start coming in 3... 2..." I started counting down, "1."

"Raise your hands up!" Someone shouted from behind.

I turned and cops were there. Holding their shotguns and pointing it to Minami. Handcuffs were dangling on their belt.

"I'll leave it to you guys then... I have an injured girl on my hands," I nodded to them and left.

"U-u-usui-kun!" The blue haired girl came running towards Misaki and me the moment I stepped in the kitchen. "What happened inside? I heard gun shots so I called the cops and said that it's emergency. Is everyone al-" She stopped when she saw Misaki, who was trying her best to stay conscious, on my hands. "OH MY! MISA-CHAN!"

"What happened, Manager?" The group of girls from before came.

So that's who she was. The blue haired girl was the Manager.

"Umm, Misaki got a terrible scratch from the bullet, and now I'm heading to the hospital. I'll be going first!" I ran through the back door and headed to the hospital with Misaki, now unconscious, on my arms.

"Hang in there, Ayuzawa."
