Meeting and Renewals
Chapter Four: The Person Behind the Glasses
"Hotoko!" Kotaro was running at top speed to see if Hotoko was alright. That dagger had barely missed her. When he got to the ring, he saw her on the ground, but to his relief, there was no blood, it looked like she had only fainted. Oujiro, Tamayo, Sai, Kaede, and Ringo were right beside him, also making sure Hotoko was okay. But they then heard a dark cackle.
The crowd after seeing the dagger being thrown at Hotoko had immediately evacuated, leaving Oujiro, Tamayo, Kotaro, Sai, Kaede, and Ringo alone in the stadium with the guilty person.
"My," there was clapping," such a lucky girl, being able to dodge my dagger," a guy wearing all black standing on top of one of the stands said, but what made them hate him was that he was holding a dagger, just like the one that was thrown at Hotoko, and was laughing his head off, as if it was no big deal that he had almost killed an innocent little girl.
"Why are you trying to kill Hotoko, she has nothing to do with you," cried Kotaro, looking down at his pale sister's face, cradling her small form to his chest.
"Yeah, how would she know a jackass like you," Tamayo was giving him a death glare, she had known Hotoko ever since she was born, and felt like she was filling in as an older sister, since Hotoko only had a big brother.
He chuckled deeply, "No, she has everything to do with what I'm after, and so do all of you."
"What!" They were all giving him death glares by then.
Sai was in front of Kaede, protecting her if the man tried anything, Tamayo and Ringo were next to Kotaro, who was holding Hotoko, and Oujiro was off to the side, watching the man's every move.
He chuckled again, "You all are my bait for luring her out of course."
Tamayo was glowering at him, "I'm getting really tired of all your idiotic laughing, it's getting annoying. And just who are you talking about!"
"Why, I'm just trying to capture a girl you all should know from you're past, hmm……." he clapped his hands together as if he had just solved a difficult problem, "Oh, my! Isn't today the date she 'died', such a coincidence that she's here on the same day, ne?"
Oujiro eyes widened. A thought came to his eyes since the only person who had died on this certain day and that everyone knew was Misaki. "S-she couldn't be, not after all these years" he thought silently to himself.
"How about I just finish you all off right now, instead ne?" The man promptly taking out a gun. (1) But before he could shoot several daggers shot out of nowhere and pinned the gun down to the ground.
"Stay away from them, if you know what's good for you," a figure said, appearing out of nowhere, and was standing in front of them. They couldn't see her face though, since it was covered by a pair of sun glasses.
"You!"
She chuckled softly, "I see you haven't forgotten about me after all."
He growled at, but then a smirk came to his face, "Now why wouldn't I forget such my favorite despicable girl, ne?"
The girl just snorted, "Favorite girl, ha! You rape every pretty girl that you see in those night/strip clubs, and I'm the one who is supposed to be despicable?"
That did it. He had been twitching during their conversation, and after her comment, he snapped.
"You wench, you'll die with those words."
He aimed a punch at her face but she smoothly dodged it.
"Is that really the best you can do" she sighed, "such a disappointment."
The girl then gracefully swung her knee at his stomach. But at the time, he managed to take her sunglasses off. He landed with a sickening crunch when he hit the wall, but was still holding the sunglasses. Oujiro was the first person who saw the girl under the dark shades.
"I-it couldn't be," Oujiro was staring at the girl, her face perfectly visible in the light.
