Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!


Her feet were stepping on the floor, with the square tiles having a pattern of clear and dark grey color. Her irises bounced left and right, her eyebrows were down.

"It seems I'm truly considered a target for certain people…" Her head rose. "Hmpf. I can't believe I'm finding unbelievable obstacles even in my childhood district."

Her eyes tracked down an open, large door made with glass in the middle part.

"It's a good thing having the time to learn the place where you live: it lets me outsmart my enemies with such ease, I would almost desire to limit myself just to get a true challenge."

The girl stepped outside, as fresh air caressed her face: her nostrils inhaled some air.

"I absolutely need to calm down, though…" Her irises bounced left and right, seeing cars parked right next to the sidewalk. "The fact that my enemy seems to know how to hide, may evade my sight way too often."

She turns to the right, walking on the sidewalk.

"Luckily, my ears have Sound Amplifiers inside: the smallest noises will pop out like normal ones, letting me quickly react whenever one of those sounds is rather near."

Faint chirping sounds were seemingly coming from behind a building.

"Amazing." She smiles. "Knowing many things is the best calming tactic. Period."

Turning again to the right the girl passed two Inklings, a man and a woman, who were walking in the opposite direction, close to each other. Several lamp posts were situated near the sidewalk's edge, hitting a wide round range of several feet.

"My route will be as lively as possible." Twisting her head slightly to the left, Mirii's eyes were resting on the road. "Not to mention, it'll also be almost fully illuminated: that man will have little time to even"

Suddenly, the darkness ate all the lights: the girl stops, as her eyes expanded and her head rose up.

"Wh-what the?!" Her irises shrunk. "A blackout?! In the most inconvenient time?!"

Her ears rose, her heart starts beating a bit faster.

"No… no, this can't be a mere coincidence…" Her teeth grits, as she resumes her walk. "... either way, it doesn't matter too much: the fact I know this district makes up even more than the man might"

Steps were heard: her back shivered. Her eyebrows lowered down a bit: she turns 180° to the left, as her bended right leg swings forward.

POW!

A thumping noise blasted in her ears. Her eyes were staring down, seeing only the darkness. She turns forward, starting to sprint. A car was zooming on the road, with the lights on: vaguely shows an Inkling man walking on the sidewalk.

Mirii turned to the left, stepping on the road.

"Curses! I can barely see the road or the buildings!" She swallows silently. "This is getting more and more ridiculous…!"

The girl zigzagged, entering inside a narrower path surrounded by brick walls.

"My old apartment isn't too far: if I keep this fast pace, I'm sure to"

A loud wind sound came from above. Mirii slides on the road, stopping after a bit.

"Nnnggghhh!" She bites her own lips. "I was too slow: even though I can't see very well in the darkness, I'm sure he's near me now!"

Mirii bends a bit down, as her fists clenched.

"Your hiding advantages are not strong enough to make me mostly attack at the thin air!" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "My kick should be an enough proof of that."

"Really? I thought you got too lucky for my taste." His voice was coming in front of the girl. "Although, my steps weren't that loud to begin with…!"

"I order you to leave me alone." Her head rose a bit. "My pity will not be strong enough to spare you, if you dare to"

"I gave you a friendly hint… it was a very nice gift too."

Steps were heard.

"You should had thought more, before running at full speed here."

Mirii was walking backwards a bit.

"And now… you are going to meet a dark end, very soon."

The girl swings her right leg: another wind sound blasted in her ears, moving ahead. Quick step sounds were getting closer to the girl. Mirii jumped to the right, as she starts sprinting forward.

"He's certainly going to think I'm getting scared." Her teeth showed up a bit. "If the plan will proceed as I thought, his patience will not last too long…"

The quick steps were seemingly getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Mirii jumps high in the air as she spins backwards while landing on her feet: turning behind, she kept running.

"You shouldn't talk too much, little girl!" His voice was coming from her back. "You are running more than attacking more!"

The girl stops, as she turns to the right: her right leg stretches, while bending over her left.

PAM!

A thump echoed in the area. Mirii smiles a bit.

"It worked as suspected." Her head rose. "He lowered his guard so much, even a not so powerful kick was enough to knock him down."

A snort blasted.

"I learned the solution." Mirii bends forward, clenching her fists. "All I need to do is to keep my strategy and I'll win this battle sooner than expected."
