Chapter 4// Heart of Fire
"You never lose by loving. You always by holding back." - Barbara De Angelic
She was dressed in black pantaloon with loose red tank top hiding her womanly curves and black boots. She had her hair loosely tied over her shoulder with a bandana on her head making her look more like a young lad. She walked into the stable and walked up to her prize possession; her black stallion 'Fiery'. She straddled up her horse and rode off into the sunset.
She walked into the tavern like she owned it. People would whisper to each other about her as she passes by them. She took a sit at the bar. "Hey Red, the usual?" The bartender asked her.
"Yes," she said gruffly. The bartender slid her drink towards her. She caught it easily and smoothly as she watch people interact with each other in the tavern. She nodded her thanks to the bartender and stood up from the bar. She walked toward the back where all the gamblers playing their pathetic game of poker. She pushed a bald headed guy out of her way, the bald guy hollered and as he turned around to give a nice right hook; she blocked it. The guy was shocked. It was red. He should've known.
"Oh hey Red, sorry about that." He muttered getting out her way. One of the players got out their sit and she took his sit. They deal a new hand.
"Fold or in?" she asked the next person to her. She raised her eyebrow while eying the player. The player quivered at her stare.
"Fold…" he gave in throwing his cards face down the table.
"What about you Tú? Are you in or out?" She questioned the big guy to her left. Tú eyes were bottling from side to side. "Err…in." She smiled at him.
"What a good man…Tu. I raise the stake to 1000 wongs." She said with confidence. Two other guys backed out. "Tú, in or out?" She grinned.
"In." he reply throwing 1000 wongs on the table.
"You first." She said.
"Full house! Read and weep Red." He laughed.
"Oh, you beat me fair and square." She said. Tú started to collect his winnings. "Oh, wait I was just kidding Tú, four of a kind." She smiled while Tú looked at the four aces and one queen. Red cards beat his full house even though it was three kings and a pair of jacks. She took the winnings out his hands. "Maybe next time you'll have better luck." She said happily. Tú grumble and stood up from his chair.
"Next time Red. I'll beat you." He told her.
"You can try." She replied. He walked away and out of the bar. "Next player!" She shouted. She looked at all them.
"Red won't know what hit him," someone said whispering to his friend who was standing next to him. They had begun to laugh a little. "Hey Red! I take upon your challenge."
"All right Jyou." She grinned at the man as he sat down at the table. "Try your luck."
"Don't worry Red, I'm going to win tonight." Jyou smirked. She shuffled the cards. A waitress came by and put some drinks on the table.
"Cut the deck Kaye sugar." She said and grinned at the waitress. "Please…" The waitress took the deck out of her hands and cut the deck. She placed the deck back in her hands. "Thanks sugar." She said and winked at the waitress.
"Anything for you Red." Kaye replied shyly and walked away. She shuffled once more before handing out the cards to each player.
"Red you got all the girls swooning after you again." Jyou pointed out.
"Ugh…what can I say?" she replied. "Heh… it's a curse." Jyou raised his eyebrow in suspension. A figure that sat across on the other side of the tavern watched the verbal assault go on from a far. The same waitress who was at the poker table came to the table.
"Can I get you something sir?" she asked.
"Ice cold vodka." He said looking upon the waitress. She blushed scarlet across her beautiful face.
"I'll be back with your drink sir." She replied. She walked away from him to fetch his drink. He watched the waitress walk away. Once again his attention to the spunky redhead guy who had an expression like he got the game in the bag. But he noticed the other player sneak something up his sleeves. The other guy was cheating! And the redhead was being set up.
"Fold or in Jyou?" she smiled widely.
"In Red. And I raise you 3000 wongs." He replied back.
"Are you sure Jyou that you want to do that?" she asked him. He nodded his head. He's not kidding. She thought herself. "All right." She threw 3000 wongs on the table. She laid out her cards, a royal flush. Jyou grinned at Red.
"You cheater!" Jyou yelled. "How can you have a royal flush when I have the ace of hearts?" Jyou showed her his full house, two aces and three kings. And one of the aces was the ace she had in her royal. She looked at Jyou with confusion. How can this be happening? She thought herself. "You been cheating us all Red!" Jyou accused. The other players looked at her with confusion and disgraces. Jyou grab on to one of her tank top strap. "Caught you red handed Red." He said.
"No, I didn't cheat! This got to must be an mistake!" she argued back.
"All lies!" Jyou spit back. She tried to free herself from his grip. --RIP-- Her shirt ripped. She grasped in embarrassment. "YOU'RE a GIRL!" he said shockingly looking at her. The young man who was watching them from a far spitted out his vodka as he found out the he was a she in disguised. With one hand she held on to her shirt trying to cover herself from all the goggling eyes that looked at her. --SLAP-- She slapped Jyou with her free hand. Jyou growled at her. "Why you little bitch!" he snapped pushing away the table that was between them. She quickly got into a fighting stance still holding on to her shirt. Jyou smirked at her. "Maybe later you and I can have some fun later?" She spit at him in disgust.
"Screw you jerk!" she spat back while Jyou wiped the spit of his face. Jyou face turned red. He threw the first punch. She ducked quickly and jabbed him in the gut. Jyou folded forward then next thing he knew his face met with one of her foot. "I never cheated!" She gave him a right hook. Jyou stumbled backwards. She sighed in relief. But the next she knew she was pinned to the floor. Jyou had charged at her. She tried to push him off her.
"Now you'll learn your place!" he laughed in her face. She could smell his bad breathe with the mixture of beer. She turned her head. She screamed and kneed with all her strength in the stomach. He groaned. She quickly stood up and backed away from him. Then someone wrapped his or her arms around her neck. She struggled to get free.
"That's what you get for messing with my partner Red." He told her. "Boy, you smell good…" She cringed in detest. The she fell his tongue running down her neck. "And you taste sweet as honey." She closed her eyes. She couldn't believe this happening to her. And why wasn't any one helping her, they just stood their watching. She hated them all! Her capturer's gripped loosen on her neck. She slowly opened her ruby eyes and met violet eyes looking straight at her. She was taken back by her savior beautiful eyes. She never had seen them before. He was handsome bright fiery red hair to go with his breathing taking eyes. Her savior put his black rob around her shoulders covering her top half of her body.
"Get her!" Jyou's partner shouted to the rest of the tavern people. "She been cheating and taking our money!" he roared. Men started to surround her and her savior. She squinted her eyes in angry. She would never cheat in a million years! One of the men lunged at her. She high kicked him in the face making the man fall flat on his back. The man groaned in pain. Two more men charged at her. It looked like they were going to close line her, but she thought ahead and quickly duck, did a split then tripped them. She got back up and dodged every attacker that was after her. Her punches were as hot as fires making her opponent feel like they were burned at her touch. She wasn't pay attention as an attack comes from behind, but her savior comes to the rescue again, pulling her out the way and into his warm embrace.
"Thank you." She said softly to him.
"Don't thank me yet. We still have to get out of here." He told her. He spins her out his embrace still holding her hand. She got the idea what he was doing. She kicked the oncoming attack in the mid-section. He moaned in agony. She let go of her savior's hand and did a back hand-hand spring and elbow another man in the face. She looked at her savior and he was doing fine on his own. He nodded at her. She understood what he was signaling to her. She ran towards him and he launched her into the air.
"Hiya!" she screamed and round kick the last opponent. The man folded and hit the tavern's floors. When she landed and looked at all the people asking them silently did they want anymore of her. They looked away and went on with their business. "Jerks!" she said and spit on the floor. She wiped her face with her forearm. Her savior stood next to her.
"I think you should apology to her. She wasn't cheating at all, I saw him pull out something out of his sleeve." He pointed at Jyou who was groaning in pain on the floor. All the players looked Jyou with an evil look. Jyou backed up slowly until he was against the wall. The players attacked him. After that all the men paid their apologies to her. She forgave them and took her winnings. She walked out of the tavern and her savior called out to her. She looked at him and waited for him to catch up to her.
"Thank you for saving me…" she said politely.
"Haru." He replied.
"Yes, thank you for saving me Haru." She said again.
"Aren't you going to tell me what's your name Miss?" he asked.
"I'm trying to figure if you're worthy to know my name," she told him. "Maybe next time when you rescue me, I'll tell you my name." She whistled for her horse. Her horse Fiery came galloping to her. She started to take off the robe he covered her up in. He stopped her. She looked at him quizzically.
"Keep it. Give it back when I rescue you again and when you tell me your name." Haru said. She didn't know what happen next his soft lips were against hers. Her heart was fluttering. He looked into her ruby eyes and softly caressed her cheek. "Till next time my vixen." He said and walked away from her in the opposite direction. What the hell just happen there! She thought herself. He kissed her! Oh my goodness! She touched her lips as she still feel Haru's lips upon hers. She jumped onto her horse and galloped away from the tavern. Soul-searching blue eyes watched her fade away into the distance.

"Hikaru, where were you?" Presea asked as Hikaru came into the kitchen.
"The tavern." She replied putting down the sack of winnings she won tonight.
"Hikaru-chan, I told you to stay away from there. Its so un-lady like." Presea scolded her.
"Yes, I know…" Hikaru carelessly replied. "I'm tried. I'm going to bed." She walked out of the kitchen. Presea sighed in worry ness. Hikaru closed then locked her door after she entered her room. She took off the black robe and hanged it on her vanity chair. She stripped out her shirt and pants. She replaced her clothing with her nightwear. She got under her covers and stared at her ceiling. What was the kiss about? She thought to herself. And why was her heart beating so fast like that. She thought. And slowly she drifted off still thinking what was the reason Haru kissed her.
