Chapter 7: Rewind In Time

The Box!! Forget it!! Ryu shouted, though Haruka completely ignored him and climbed back in, Go on! she shouted from inside.

The thumping of footsteps sounded like the drum beats of a ritual, becoming stronger and stronger by the second. Haruka searched frantically around the littered floor when another creature flew through the doorway. Can't you see I'm busy?! She fumed, pulling out an uzi and opening fire, sand replacing it a few moments after. Lying on the floor she looked under the bed and spotted it laying on the dusty wood. More of the creatures could be heard storming in; she reached into her backpack and pulled out a few sticks of dynamite, lighting them quickly and throwing them out into the hall where she could hear the monsters growling against each other for it. The blonde extended her arm as far as she could, her fingers were barely brushing the box. Come on ... she mumbled to herself, stretching to her limits. Got it! Haruka tossed it into her bag and looked back, several of the creatures were pounding the ground standing in front of her.

Sorry, gotta run! She shouted to them, dashing towards the window and jumping out as the room exploded into a fury of fire. From the force of impact she ripped through several tarps hanging above the windows, falling hard into a truck full of tomatoes with a serious splat. Tomato juice flew everywhere, many shocked bystanders getting hit with red flesh. Saved by tomatoes. Haruka said to herself, confused by the irony of the situation.



Hey!! Over here!! The blonde shouted, flailing her arms to get his attention. Ryu sighed a relief and ran over to the truck, quickly followed by the aqua beauty. Caesar anyone? Haruka joked as she - swam - to the edge pulling herself out. Gross ... Ryu replied, No one wants to drink your toe jam. Haruka shot a glare at him when the truck owner walked out and found smashed tomato everywhere and started shouting to find out who it was. The three immediately ran off, Haruka leaving a trail of red footprints behind her.


Back at Ryu's place Haruka quickly changed into some of Ryu's clean - well, close enough - clean clothing. She approached the woman and spoke softly, Sorry for the ... accident ... back there. Are you alright? The sea lady began speaking in a foreign tongue she didn't know. O_o This could be a problem. . My name is Haruka. she pointed to herself. What's _ your _ name? The confused look on the woman's face made the blonde sweat drop. Talking slower is really gonna make the difference. (A/N: Why do people always do that when someone doesn't understand?? Just curious ...) She pointed to herself, then pointed to the woman. Repeating it several times the woman began to catch on. o_O Shorter name? she asked, motioning with her hands. The aqua woman nodded her head and pointed at Haruka, She then pointed to the brown-haired man and the blonde quickly replied, She laughed and then pointed to herself, Michi. Ryu. Haruka.
