Sammy was glad that everyone was forced to stay in their room, because she wouldn't have left hers anyways.
"What was that?" She asked herself quietly as she sat on the floor at the foot of her bed. "Lance's just a friend...he's just another bro..." She tried to ignore her thoughts and blared her music as loud as it would go in her ears and went to bed early that night.
Sammy still had her earphones in and she was asleep, so she was unable to hear her bedroom door opening slowly. She sniffed and hugged the large, blue and black stuffed tiger closer to her chest, muttering gibberish under her breath. The girl yelped when she felt someone grab her and put a hand over her mouth.
"Shut up." The person whispered into her ear. Sammy struggled to recognize the owner of the voice, she's heard it before, but she couldn't place it. "You're just like that damn priest with those earphones." The voice growled and lifted Sammy from her bed. Sammy starting shouting in protest behind the hand and flailed her body about. "Keep still." Sammy shouted a very rude remark behind the hand that she wished could be understood as she was dragged out of the room. Sammy kicked her legs out towards the doors as they passed by them and she kept missing every time. "Stop it, you little bitch." Sammy ignored the insult and continued kicking towards the doors and managed to finally hit one. She was lucky to discover that it was Kid's door.
"Wha..." A sleepy Kid opened his door a moment later.
"Shit." The person cursed. Sammy opened her mouth and licked the person's hand. "Ah, fuck!" The person removed their hand from Sammy's mouth, but still held her with both arms and tried to escape the house.
"Kid! Lance! Help! S.O.S. Save our Sammy!" Sammy screamed as loud as she could.
"Shut up!" The person slapped their hand right back over Sammy's mouth as they reached the living room.
"Put her down." Kid ordered.
"Make me, brat." Sammy tried to force her eyes to adjust faster to the dark so she could see who was holding her.
"Giriko!" Lance shouted as he ran into the living room.
"What are you doing?" Sheyla demanded as she and the others followed.
"I was asked by a friend of mine to bring her this girl." Giriko answered as he stepped towards the door. "I didn't know how valuable her soul was until I talked around. Turns out her kind of soul is very tasty and very valuable." Sammy tried to shake her head no and jerked her body more. "She's worth a pretty penny, but they prefer her alive so then they can kill her themselves and have a very fresh soul."
"Put her down, now." Lance growled and transformed his arm.
"Oh and what are you going to do, poke me with your little blade, Lancey?" Giriko said the nickname with a sneer.
"Sammy, how about you try that new thing you've been practicing." Sheyla suggested vaguely.
"What?" Giriko looked over at Sammy and the girl's eyes were wide in realization. She closed her eyes and her leg transformed in an axe, she kicked out towards the man. Giriko quickly dropped Sammy and jumped back. "Fine, I'll bring you in dead then." Giriko growled and fired up his legs.
"How 'bout no?" Sammy suggested and struggled to get to her feet with one leg being an axe still.
"How about yes!" Giriko shouted and kicked out a leg. Sammy yelled and dove for the ground, the saw leg ended up cutting off a large piece of her ponytail. Lance lunged at Giriko, stabbing his arm towards the man. Giriko caught the staff of the weapon and punched Lance in the face before throwing him across the room.
"Lance!" Sammy hobbled over towards Lance.
"Come here you!" Giriko reached out towards Sammy, but a ball and chain wrapped around his arm and jerked it back. Giriko growled and yanked his arm back forward, throwing JJ with it. He slammed the thin boy into a well, Giriko was going to attack again when he felt something smash into his back. Sheyla pulled the bat away from Giriko and tried to swing again. Giriko easily dodged the second swing and was about to grab Sheyla when Haley jumped on top of his back and started slamming her fists into his head.
"Lance...Lancey, are you okay?" Sammy asked the boy as her friends fought.
"Little dizzy." Lance admitted. "Can you change your leg back?"
"I...I don't know how without help from the instructor." Giriko let out an irritated shout and grabbed Haley, throwing her to the ground. The man lifted a leg to smash his foot into the girl's face, but was interrupted by Kid kicking him in the center of his back. "I have to help." Sammy said and tried to get to her feet.
"Stay here." Lance ordered and got to his own feet to join the fight.
"Like I'm obeying you." Sammy scoffed and used the wall to help her to her feet.
"Haley, go into your weapon form." Kid said. "Keep him distracted." He told the others.
"Why?"
"Just do it!" Haley quickly became a sword and landed in Kid's hands.
"How?"
"I'm a shinigami." Was Kid's response before swinging the sword around. The blade started glowing.
"What's going on?" Haley asked.
"Soul Resonance!" Kid shouted before slashing the sword down and a large wave of energy flew towards Giriko. Giriko quickly dove to the side and avoided the wave that sliced a large hole in the house.
"Fuck this!" Giriko cursed before running out of the house.
"Get back here!" Kid shouted and ran after the man, leaving the other teens in the house, stunned.
