Poor Hiromi! What will she do now? And who was hiding in the bushes?
I'm sorry for the OC entry last chapter, and this one too... I hate OCs in other peoples stories, so when/if I edit this story, I'm thinking of switching her with Max.

CHAPTER
THREE: NOT ALONE
I pounded my fist into the face of the man lying beneath me, again and again as his face became a bloody mess, his features lost among the crimson liquid, "You're gonna tell me where she is, or--"
"I d-don't know!" He stammered. He held up his free hand, waving it in front of his face. I pushed his hand down by his side, refusing to allow him such defense from my fists. I pulled his head up by his hair, slamming it back down into the ground repeatedly, One way or another...
"Aaagh! Okay, okay!" He cried. He pointed somewhere over to me left and I smirked, standing up off the man and brushed the dust off my shirt. I knew that the man was too scared to lie to me - That a grown man was too scared to lie to a seventeen-year-old!
I turned to see Kori, glancing between me and the man with wide eyes, "Woooow, that was so fricken awesome, Kai!"
Disregarding her comment, I made my way through the bushes, pushing past the branches, unconcerned as they cut into my arms drawing trails of blood across them. I didn't turn back to see if Kori was following; her business was her own. It was then that I saw her, barely visible through the hoard of groping slurring drunken men. She didn't move; she didn't even appear to be conscious.
I lost all rational thought...
Kori's POV
I watched in awe as Kai took hold of one of the men by the arm, dragging him away from Hilary with a bone-shattering punch to his jaw. He took hold of him by his greasy matted hair and rammed his head into the tree trunk, then let go as the man fell to the floor.
Kai booted the next man in the side, following with a swift roundhouse to the face. He took no time in moving on, and all I saw was a man falling to the ground, clutching his side. Another ruffian stood up, towering about half a foot over Kai. He grinned sadistically as he flipped out a long, curved pocket knife, lunging at Kai with a loud growl. Kai tried to dodge, but the man was much faster than even I had anticipated for his size! Kai winced and warm blood started to drip from the new painful-looking gash in his arm, I-I've gotta help! Suddenly his look of anguish vanished and he rushed at the man, punching him in the stomach, then in the face. He stopped as the man smirked, wiping away the blood that was dripping from his nose.
My eyes widened as I noticed a figure charging at me - I'd been far too engrossed in Kai's battle! In a fleeting moment of logic, I grabbed hold of the man's arm and pushed him away from me. I kicked him harshly to the ground before he got the chance to turn himself around again and seemedly that was enough to send him unconscious, Stupid drunks. Between them, mostly on Kai's part, all that could be seen was a muddy forest floor littered with unconscious men. I looked back to Kai, still deep in his battle and knew that I was free to go and see to Hilary. I knelt down beside the brunette, holding my hand above her mouth, Good, she's still breathing. I jumped in shock as a body was sent flying past me with a loud 'thunk' as it connected with a tree trunk. I craned my head around in time to see Kai fall to the floor, breathing heavily...
Ohnoes! I'm sorry that chapter was so short! My mind keeps going blank, and I had to get this part up..
