A few days later...
The group were almost the only students at the school, maybe a few students, but they had left on a field trip.
A blood curling scream echoed through the Dormatory halls. Within a second, Shinrai and Jeremie had left their dorm room and headed to the scream. Another scream rang out, followed by two more coming from the upstairs...From the girls' floor... Ulrich and Odd quickly emerged from their room, right beside Jeremie. Cold fear had washed over over them all, the realization that there were not many girls up on the top, so it must have been coming from... Shinrai pointed to the elevator door.
"Ulrich, stop anyone that comes out of there!" Shinrai he told Ulrich. Ulrich stopped at the elevator and nodded as Jeremie, Odd, and Shinrai began to head up the stairs.
"XANA attack?" Odd asked, his eyes are filled with fear from the screams.
"No.. I have been running scans all morning, the beeping was annoying Shinrai," Jeremie said as they looked up, seeing Shinrai standing at the top of the stairs. When the two reached the top of the stairs beside him, they stood in shok at the sight. Three men stood, each one holding a girl. Jeremie saw the girls were Krista, Sissi, and Aelita. There was already a man face down on the ground. 'Must have been knocked out by one of the girls' Jeremie thought as he looked to Shinrai. The girls were in their undergarments, so it didn't take the guys much to realize what had almost happened.
"I told you that security was bad during the breaks," The man holding Aelita had said. He was about to say something else as he turned, but he saw Jeremie, Shinrai, and Odd standing at the mouth of the stairs. A ding behind the men indicated that Ulrich had left the elevator and was now behind. Shinrai made one hand gesture to the girls and the boys, only them knowing what it meant.
"Theres only four boys, we can kill them and take the girls for ourselves, right Zeke?" The one holding Sissi said to Aelita's captor before the one called Zeke nodded. The one hlding sissi hander her forcefully to Zeke and began advancing on the boys.
Shinrai's eyes began to flash from an aquamarine and slowly get darker in color until it was a dark blue, his faxe fixed in obvious anger. The man had pulled out a butterfly knife, and with a flick of the wrist, the blade was out and the handle was locked into place.
"I'm going to kill you, do you like that, BOY?" He said as he held the knife ready. Before Odd could even blink, Shinrai was running at the man. The man brought the knife down to stab at him, but Shinrai's hand grabbed the man's wrist without problem. Before the man knew what was happening, Shinrai twisted the wrist. A stomach-turning crack and crunch was heard as the knife fell from the man's hand. Shinrai's other hand came immediatly after the crack and crunch, and struck the man in the face, knocking him backwards. Shinrai's high agility and dexterity, mixed with years of Kenpo and street training finaily came into view as Shinrai stepped forward quickly and then rolled at the man. When Shinrai's back touched the ground, he straightened his body out and launched up at the man, his feet hitting the man directly in the face, knocking him out instantly. Shinrai stood quickly, rady to advance on the other two.
Before he could move, Odd and Jeremie launched themselves at the other two men. The men looked startled, the one holding Sissi had been the one holding the knife, but before he could think of anything else, Zeke was knocked over by Aelita's elbow as Jeremie kicked Zeke's face. Ulrich and Shinrai had stayed the past few nights, teaching Jeremie martial arts. Jeremie only knew the basic's but this was time for him to expand on his own. The kick had bowled Zeke back, it also allowed him to stand up. Ulrich moved forward, grabbing Aelita, Krista; Who had gotten knocked free from Odd's soccer kick to the man's head, and Sissi into Aelita and Krista's dorm. He stood at the door as the first man who had been knocked out by one of the girls slowly got to his feet. He saw the girls in the dorm room and lumbered into the room. What he didn't see was Ulrich's kick heading to his stomach, nor the fist that came at his head. The unfortunate man had gotten knocked out again, this time for longer.
Jeremie tackled Zeke quickly, the blind rage having ignored the punches that had hit him in the chest. Jeremie began punching the man's face, calling out in anger.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" He yelled out as he began sending his punches hard into Zeke's face, breaking his nose, and still beating him, even though the man was knocked out.
"JEREMIE!" Shinrai called out, grabbing Jeremie's shoulder. Jeremie shook his head as he continued to pound Zeke in the face. Odd had quickly finished his fight, the years of sparring with Ulrich having given Odd a high understanding of fighting. a groan from Sissi's ex-captor made Shinrai turn around and kick him in the head, a bit harder than last time, a crack being heard. Shinrai motioned grimly to Odd and they both grabbed Jeremie and picked him up, by his arms, and began to pull him into the dorm room with everyone else.
Shinrai reached into the extra closet room in the hallway and grabbed sheets, laying them over the four people, not knowing who had died or not. When he finished, he followed and met them all in the dorm room, his face gaunt. Sissi stood and ran to him, hugging him tightly, tears streaming from her eyes. He looked around, seeing Aelita and Krista crying as well. He kissed Sissi's cheek softly, whispering to her.
"You did good," He told her and then repeated it aloud to the other two girls. He looked to Ulrich some, nodding once.
"I am going to go get help and call and Yumi, I'll be back," Ulrich said, running from the room, leaving the crying girls being conforted by the teens who had loved them.
"We opened the door, thinking it was Jim, but they all were standing... They ripped off our clothes to our underwear," Krista half said and half sobbed to the three. Aelita and Sissi nodded, confirming the story. Loud footsteps and Jim's voice meant that Ulrich had told Jim.
"WHAT HAPPENED!" Jim yelled out, looking to the four men on the ground, " Ulrich said you girls were attacked, did they take you?" Sissi and Krista shook her head, not knowing what that had meant, Aelita didn't shake her head until Jeremie told her what it meant. Jim sighed, relieved and then Shinrai looked to him, pointed to the butterfly knife that was laying in the hall.
"The assholes had that, I think I killed him Jim..." Shinrai said from his throat. The words seemed alien in his mouth. He had seen people die, but he had never.. Jim nodded reassuringly as the girls gasped. Jim tossed the girls each a blanket and told Jeremie.
"Take the girls downstairs, Shinrai and Odd; I need your help with these," He pointed to the men as Jeremie nodded, leading the girls out of the room and downstairs.
"Jim... How did they get in?" Odd asked as he checked the pulse of the one he knocked out.'He isn't dead, although he should be...' Odd thought as he went to check the pulse of the one at the door of the dorm room.
"I am going to ask that guard the same question... They shouldn't have been able to.." Jim replied as he lifted Zeke above his shoulder, he was barely alive. He set him in the elevator and then picked up the two that Odd and Ulrich had taken out, setting them in the elevator by Zeke. Odd was staring at Shinrai, who was kneeled down.
"J..J..Jim... I can barely feel a pulse... He was getting back up and I kicked at the base of the neck during the fight..." Shinrai said before falling backwards, his back hitting the wall. He began to shake as he looked to the body. An officer stood at the top of the stairs as he looked to the crime scene.
"We'll take care of this, can you all go downstairs and wait for questioning?" The officer asked as Odd and Jim nodded, helping Shinrai to his feet and then downstairs as more officers ran up to the floor to survey the scene.
"ODD, SHINRAI!" Krista and Sissi called out from the entrance of the dorm hall. Shinrai sighed and entered his dorm room for a question and grabbed three large shirts. He then exitted and followed Jim and Jeremie outside of the dorm building to where Ulrich, Jeremie, Yumi, Krista, Sissi, and Aelita stood.
"H..Here you go..." Shinrai said as he handed the three girls a towel before leaning up agaisnt the wall, as if in shock at what happened, his legs and hands were shaking some from the adrenaline in his body. Sissi stepped close to him after pulling the shirt on and hugged him tightly.
"T..Thank you Shinrai..." She said, latching tightly onto him. The other two girls had thanked Odd, Jeremie, Ulrich, and Shinrai during this time. Shinrai did not pay attention, as he was just caught up in holding onto Sissi.
The next day...
A knock on the door of his dorm room awoke him from the almost trance he was in. He had not been able to sleep the night before. He sat up, using his laptop to surf the web for a few hours before sitting up against the wall for about 6 hours, just sitting in a trance.
"Come in, it is unlocked..." He called out, reaching and grabbing his pen tightly, incase it wasn't someone friendly that entered the room. The door opened and an officer stood in the doorway.
" Mr. Flare, we are here to tell you that you are not being charged at all for the death of the suspect... The other three are alive, Zeke Gate is still in critical condition, but they think he will pull through, good luck..." The officer said before turning around and leaving. As the officer left, Sissi's head peaked through the doorway.
"H..Hello Shinrai..." She said with a wane smile, walking into the room. Shinrai began smiling, the face of Sissi brightening his mood.
"How are you doing Sissi?" He asked as he stood up.
"Alot better... Everyone is calmed down, even Aelita... The poor girl was scared to death, even more than all of us..." She replied. She looked down for a second before jumping at Shinrai's open arms and open heart. Tears began streaming down her face as she whimpered into Shinrai's shoulder.
"Ulrich, whats up?" Odd asked as he and Krista walked up to Yumi and Ulrich. Jeremie and Aelita were not far behind them, the girls looked a bit scared, but better than they were the day before.
"I'm worried about Shinrai, he didn't even speak after the cops left yesterday, he had just looked around grimly," Ulrich replied, his arm wrapped around Yumi's waist.
"So he had killed the guy?" Yumi asked, still in shock about learning what had happened. She had comforted the girls the day before.
"Yes.. I saw that officer come and go a few minutes ago, and then I saw Sissi enter the building," Aelita said softly, her arms wrapped around Jeremie's chest.
"Jeremie was about as mad as Shinrai, I hear that Zeke guy is in critical condition," Krista said as she sat on a bench.
"I think Shinrai will be ok," Jeremie said finaily,
"How so?" Odd asked
"Because Sissi was the one who needs support. Shinrai will be ok because he is supporting Sissi, or however you say it," Ulrich told them all.
"Lets just go head over and check it out anyway," Yumi said, almost pulling Ulrich as she headed to the dorm.
"Hey Shinrai, are you o..." Odd began, but was stopped as he looked in the room, Sissi and Shinrai were locked in a loving and passonate kiss, only stopping when air was needed and then right back into the kiss. Odd stood there for a bit until Krista cleared her throat loudly. Sissi gasped out and stopped the kiss, a red tinge on her face from being caught in a loving kiss.
"I am sorry to break up the kiss, but we wanted to see how you two are doing..." Krista said as they all filed into the dorm room that Shinrai and Jeremie shared. Sissi smiled some and locked Shinrai into a tight hug.
"I think we will be fine," Sissi replied as she hugged Shinrai.
"N..Not me... Y..Your choking me,too tight..." Shinrai said, gasping out for air, the hug being very very tight.
