I reached a small two story house in the southwestern district of the city.

I looked around to make sure no one was watching, before I jumped over the fence using the dumpster to raise myself over.

Leave the letter there in the house and get out quickly. Seems simple enough.

I stepped onto the front porch railing and climbed up to the roof next to a bedroom window. Luckily the window was unlocked and I stepped inside and quietly shut it.

I looked around to see a matress on the floor, a used dresser, and...

"Dansuporu?

A dancing pole?"

How unusual. I took out the letter and placed it on top of the dresser.

"Paty?! Is that you?"

I momentarily froze when I heard a raspy voice shout from downstairs. Followed by frantic footsteps heading up.

"Kuso!

Fuck!"

I looked around for somewhere to hide and spotted the bathroom. I quickly headed in and closed the door just before a man stepped into the room.

"Paty?"

I listened for the footsteps and luckily they didn't head to the bathroom.

"What's this?"

I opened the door just a crack and saw an obese sickly man reading the letter.

I waited a few minutes before he let out a sigh and sniffled just a bit before leaving the room and pocketing the letter.

I sympathized with the man.

I made sure he was well gone before stepping out of the bathroom. I looked around to see if I can take any belongings that Paty might ask for and pocketed them before climbing out the window and disappeared from sight in the shadows.

*At the supermarket

"You're total will be $250.52."

I sighed as I pulled out my wallet and chain and paid for the groceries.

"Thank you. Enjoy your day and thank you for shopping at Meggalo-Mart!"

I picked up the two heavy bags of food and headed to the entrance.

I walked through the parking lot mentally wishing I had a vehicle to drive home. But walking was good for the body and soul I suppose.

"Hey Jap! That sword of yours real?"

I ignored the mocking laughter and shouting of the men that spoke at me.

"Hey Wetback I'm talking to you!"

I continued walking too irriatated to pay them any attention.

"Hey asshole!"

I kept walking until I realized that they were surrounding me. I halted in my tracks. I didn't have time for this.

"Hey tiny eyed asian! That sword of yours I want it!"

I looked around to see about six men surrounding me from all sides. My only escape was the wall behind me.

I pitied these men.

"Fuck you."

"What did you say jackass?"

I took my chance and vaulted over the wall.

"Fuck! Go after him boys!"

As soon as I was over the wall I ran fast.

"Yeehaw! Grab Chopsticks!"

I turned to see the men were now on motorcycles driving after me.

"Kuso!"

I ran as fast as I could it being very difficult against six bikes

"Grab the Jap! Grab the Jap!"

I turned around the corner to the alleyway quickly hiding the bags and slipped up my hoodie and face mask.

"Yeehaw! Can't run far small eyes!"

"Fuck! Where'd he go?!"

I was hiding on top of the roof, with one hand already on the sword handle.

"Where did that fucker go?!"

I pulled out my sword and jumped at one of the men who had his back turned.

"GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

I had stabbed him clean through his heart.

"What the fu-"

I tossed a small knife at the other guy and it made contact with his forehead. His body fell backwards in a heap.

"Why you bastard!"

The other biker pulled out a pistol and fired it at me. I narrowly bent down in time and quickly stabbed him in the leg.

"Ahhhhh!"

I pulled the sword out and sliced his neck clean open.

"Haha! You're pretty good but you can't win against the three of us assshit!"

They all pulled out knives and held them in both hands. They all striked at me. Big mistake.

One swiped at my face and the other towards my kidney I deflected it with my sheath.

"What the hell-"

Then one tried to stab my hand with the other knife. I blocked with my sword and kicked the other guy in the nuts.

"Aggggghh! Aggggh!"

I pushed the other one back and sliced his jaw.

"Gaaaaakkkkkkkkk..."

The body fell down quickly spilling a pool of blood. The one on the floor holding in between his knees stabbed him through the mouth with my sword.

"You're very good! I might ask you to work for me but I still want your sword!"

"Fuck you!"

He angrily charged at me and furiously swiped at me with his two knives. I blocked as he maniacally laughed at me. He actually enjoyed all this carnage? Disgusting.

"How quick are you Jap?"

While I barely blocked he cut a bit of my finger. I scrunched in pain as I swung a foot into his face.

"Goouufffff!"

And then swung the other foot to sweep him off the feet.

I was ready to stab him when I felt a strong foot kick me in my gut.

I held my stomach tightly barely able to stand and breathe as I cautiously backed away from him.

"You don't know everything fucker!"

He charged at me with a machete but I was ready this time.

He swiped at my side which I moved to the side to dodge and swung a fist at his throat.

"Gkkkkkkkkk! Koff! Koff! Koff!"

While he was stunned I stabbed him in the stomach.

"Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk!"

I pulled it out and stabbed him in the throat. Or almost did when he sharply dodged it and punched me hard in my face.

I blocked with my arm barely in time but I felt a sharp pain.

In annoyance I jabbed my finger in the cut in his throat.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

I stabbed his knee and kneeled down holding his bleeding knee.

I pulled it out and cut off both arms in anger.

"GWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

I finished him off with a decapitation.

I took a deep breath as I gently massaged my stomach, and looked at all the dead bodies splayed around me.

A motorcycle gang while getting groceries. I'm not having a good day.

I picked up my grocery bags and left before someone found the bodies here.

~

I stepped inside the house with a quiet sigh.

"Oh you're back Pori."

I looked to see Paty sitting on the couch and raised an eyebrow in confusion and surprise to see she was wearing nothing but a towel.

"Did you get takeout?"

"No. Where your clothes?"

"Rinsing in the sink. They are covered in blood and I have nothing else to wear."

I sighed in annoyance as I passed her to put the groceries away.

"Got toothbrush."

"Really? well it could've been more than that- But thanks."

As she stood up her towel started slipping and it was-

I quickly turned away as I heard the towel fall on the floor.

"Sorry!"

"I leave stuff here."

I took out a small bag full of clothes and put the toothbrush inside before placing it on the couch not daring a peek at Paty as she put the towel back on.

"I'll go change."

She said before grabbing the bag and headed into my room to change.

"Josei.

Women."

I muttered to myself as I began to put the groceries away.

When I bent down I clenched my teeth as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I held the counter for support so I wouldn't fall down.

I took a minute to rest before I continued with the groceries grimacing everytime I felt pain from my stomach.

When I put them away I turned to hear my bedroom door opening to Paty coming out, looking washed, and now wearing a tshirt with shorts and drying her-

"You cut your hair?"

"I figured it get in the way. So seize the moment right?"

I could hardly understand what she was saying so I just nodded. I noticed she missed a strand so I pulled out my sword and approached her.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

I put the sword behind her and cut the single longer strand.

"You missed one."

"Oh thank you."

She looked down at my sword that was dripping in blood. I forgot to clean it.

I awkwardly stepped away to grab a napkin to wipe away the blood.

"Did something happen?"

"Maybe."

"Like?"

"Nothing you have to worry 'bout."

"About."

"What?"

"It's about."

"About."

"Good."

I turned to grab my apron but Paty beat me to it.

"How about I cook dinner?"

*12am

I sat on the steps beside the kitchen table dressing the wound on my stomach.

Paty tried to make mein noodles with tomato sauce a couple of hours earlier but almost burned down the kitchen in the process. I took over and made noodles with boiled egg, radish, and leek.

After eating she fell asleep instantly on the couch.

"Ack- Kuso!"

The medicine was stinging but it was better than being in pain.

I quickly placed the medicine, put on the bandage, and headed to bed.

Only two days left to teach Paty the basic self defense.
