Chapter VI

Today, We Are Allies

"Kekeke...We finally found you, Oga!"

Six figures suddenly appeared standing at the end of the passageway a few meters away from them. Their faces were shadowed as the brightness of the sun only beamed at the white pavements of the street behind them. They stood there in such a manner that their silhouettes looked spooky and bizarre. Because of this, the four other people in the dark passageway looked at them with creased brows and half opened eyes, unable to comprehend what they were doing.

"Tch, I don't think they know what we're doing", whispered a voice from one of the six figures.

"Kekeke", laughed another, "Don't mind them. They're just stunned by our coolness that they can't think straight."

"That's damn right", said the one in the middle. "Why don't we let these punks know who we are."

"Hell yeah!" yelled the five in unison.

One by one, the six figures jumped forward from where they stood. As they yelled each of their names to the small audience in front of them, they struck the same pose which they did during their shadowy entrance. The four people, seeing the six weirdos doing their pose in a closer distance, finally understood how and why they looked bizarre in their silhouettes. And when they did, they wished that these morons hadn't moved any closer to them.

"We are the MK5+1!", declared the men, their faces proclaimed pride and of overflowing confidence, but the four other people just gave them a blank stare.

"We are sent by Himekawa-san to collect the payment for the damages you caused the other day, Oga!" said the shortest one named Ikari.

"That's right, Oga" added another one who had a black wavy tuft of hair dangling in front of his face, his right finger pointing at Hilda. "I hope your bitchy woman hasn't forgotten what she did to me. I was hoping if she could pay me back too."

Hilda scowled at the wavy haired man. How dare he called her a bitchy woman? More importantly, how dare he referred her as "his" woman? It was the second time today already! How could these stupid fools label her with such a name? Her right eye twitched just by thinking about it.

"Oi seaweed haired moron!", she shouted at the guy, her glare became more menacing as ever, "What did you just call me right now?"

"Hehe. You want me to repeat it blondie?" said the man in a taunting voice, the other five weirdos laughed with him. "I just said -"

"Goood niiiiiiiiight!"

The five men stopped laughing and were taken aback. They wide eyed as they watched their friend named Shimokawa flew in the sky and twinkled like a star. It happened so quickly that one of them, who was standing next to Shimokawa, almost fainted. When they saw who it was who punched the wavy haired man to the sky, their jaws dropped down altogether. Now, they even looked more bizarre with their pale frightened faces in their trembling body.

"Tch", the black haired man said as he looked up to the sky then to the men in front of him, his right pinkie slightly stuck in his right ear. "Damn, you guys are so loud and annoying."

The three other people, especially the blonde, were completely stunned in their places as they wondered what just happened. One moment ago, Oga was just sitting there without even moving an inch, sweating as he cautiously watched the naked sword pointed at his neck. Then, with just a blink of an eye, he was already a few steps away from the weirdos and had already sent one of them flying in the sky with just a punch.

Hilda was surprised. In fact, she was really amazed more than the others. She didn't notice how the black haired man escaped from the blade that she was holding close to his neck. If there had been any struggle, or a sign of escape, may it be small or not, there would have been a wound or scratch on his skin, but there was none. Since the day that she met him, it had already occurred to her that this man was strong and it somehow impressed her. Yet, realizing that someone like him was also capable of challenging her outstanding reflexes, it irked her even more. Or did it?

"Oi", Oga suddenly turned and spoke to her, his hand scratching the back of his head. "Sorry if I surprised you but these punks were too noisy. I'm just teaching them how to keep quiet."

"You fool", Hilda broke from her little trance as she heard him spoke. She walked towards him, her brows knitted at the center, "Don't get too full of yourself just because you escaped from my sword without me noticing it. Next time, I won't let you get away..."

"Huuh?" the black haired man growled as the blonde walked passed by him. "What's that suppose to mean?"

Hilda ignored him. She slightly bowed her head, her blonde bangs bouncing gently as she walked. Without thinking about it, she then added in a soft voice, "Though that was quite impressive ..."

Oga didn't hear what she said but when he caught up to her, he saw a faint smile curling at the side of her lips. It wasn't the kind that irritated him before. Last time it was a smirk which made him feel that he's looked down, mocked or challenged. This one was new to him and it felt different. He suddenly paused, wondering what that smile meant.

"I don't get you", he said, slightly frowning his face and scratching his cheek . "A few minutes ago, you looked angry, now you're smi-"

Oga froze on his place when a sudden blur of black and yellow flashed before his eyes. It was too fast for him to recognize or dodge but he knew where it came from. Before he realized it, he had already been flung to the wall head first. The wall cracked as it met his "iron" head. He got a little scratch on his forehead but that was all. Enraged by what happened to him, he quickly stood up and faced the blonde.

"What the hell's wrong with you bitch?!" he shouted, pointing a finger at the blonde. A vein popped on his temple and his teeth looked like a piranha's.

"Shut your mouth, you fool! It's your fault for letting your guard down", Hilda hissed. Her eyes squinted as she grimaced at him but she was not angry. She just felt a little bit annoyed. But what was annoying her? She couldn't tell.

"That so?" Oga gave her a smirk. "I wonder who let their guard down in the first place."

With that said, Hilda got instantly pissed. She stood there in the dimmed passageway, her head bowed down, and a dark aura seemed to surround or emit from her. She put the sword in front of her, ready to attack. It sparkled as it caught the light and her emerald orbs glared behind its blade.

"You dare mock me sewer rat?!" she said. "Then, let me grant your death wish!"

"Bring it on!" answered Oga as he grinned at her like a devil. With a blink of an eye, the blonde quickly launched at him and tore a part of his clothes. He got surprised and he staggered for a moment as he tried to catch his balance. When he was about to do his counterattack, a laugh suddenly broke out and echoed in the passageway.

"Kekeke... Ignoring us the whole time while you're having a lover's quarrel. Ke! how stuuupid!"

Oga and Hilda halted. When they turned around, their eyes widened as they saw Lamia and Furuichi being tied up with a rope, a piece of cloth covering their mouths to stop them from shouting.

"You bastards!" Hilda shouted as she gritted her teeth.

"Stupid Furuichi!" the black haired man shouted as well, but his eyes glared at his friend. "Why didn't you scream when they caught you?! Why did you let them catch you, you idiot?!"

The white haired man mumbled as loud as he could despite the cloth that was covering his mouth, veins popping up on his head. Basically, he was complaining and cursing at his idiotic friend but of course, Oga couldn't understand him.

"What?!" Oga leaned his head forward, shouting back at his friend. "Damn it! I can't understand you."

Paak!

"Stop playing around you fool!" Hilda roared as she hit Oga in the face.

The black haired man winced as he met the blow. He cursed back at the blonde, calling her with different names, but Hilda walked towards him and grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer. Oga gulped when he looked at her serious face which was inches away from his. Her emerald eyes glinted steely as she stared at his brown orbs.

"None of that matters right now," she added. "I don't care what happens to you and your friend but I have to save Lamia. So don't you dare get in my way."

The blonde quickly pushed the black haired man away. She glared at him once more then walked towards the six men who held her friend captive. When she was a few feet away in front of them, she clenched her fists, seeing how they tightly tied up her friend. Oga looked at her, wide eyed. This was the first time that a woman, with such a kind of attitude, suddenly got him all serious. When it was only him and Furuichi, he didn't really take everything seriously. Even when they got into a bad situation like this, they would just face it like it's some sort of a game.

He 'tch-ed' as walked towards the blonde. When he stopped beside her, he said, "Whatever. But don't complain when I beat all of them first, woman."

"Hah!" Hilda smirked. "As if I'd let you, dumbass."

"Kekeke!" Ikari chuckled as he watched them, a vein popped on his head. "Don't underestimate us Oga. Do you think we came here alone? Well, you're wrong!"

The short man grinned at them and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, more men came from both sides of the passageway. There were at least 50 of them who swarmed around Oga and Hilda and most of them were holding different weapons. Oga gritted his teeth as he saw that they're being outnumbered. He hated it when these bastards wouldn't fight fairly. If it was only him against all of them, he wouldn't wait for a second to punch them right away and beat the crap out of them. But now, the blonde was standing next to him. He glanced at her to see her reaction but her bangs were covering her face and she barely made any movements. He couldn't tell whether Hilda was pissed or, maybe, scared. He was about to speak to her when the blonde suddenly raised her head a bit and showed the smirk on her face.

"Oi dumbass", she calmly said to him. "I'll take care of this side and you take care of the other."

Oga observed her for a moment, his face showed no expression. After a few seconds, he finally answered her with a grin on his face. "Huh! You don't have to tell me, woman. I'll just beat whoever comes at me from any side."

Hilda smiled at his remark. She had not thought of fighting alongside with someone before, let alone fighting together with this man. But it didn't matter now. They have to work together to save their friends. They stood there back-to-back facing their opponents. When the short man named Ikari ordered to attack, the men came dashing at them and charged with their weapons. The pair also began to attack or defend themselves. Oga punched and kicked while Hilda skillfully swung her sword. One by one, their opponents got beaten up or were sent flying a few meters away, but then, there were too many of them.

Oga looked at Hilda and noticed that she was already catching her breath. She also looked tired. She might be strong and fearless but she's still a woman. He gritted his teeth when he saw more men coming at her. Without any hesitation, he quickly moved to her side and punched the men that were about to attack the blonde.

"Dumbass!" Hilda said under her breath. "I don't need your help here!"

"Don't give me that shit!" Oga yelled back at her. "You're already worn out damn it!"

"Fool!" the blonde frowned, her back facing him. "Don't look down on me because I'm a woman. If there's someone who's already worn-out, it'd be you."

"What the heck?!" said Oga as he slammed the guy near him to the wall, the other men backed off a bit. "You're still a bitch even though you're worn-out!"

"And you're still a dumbass!" the blonde responded as she attacked the man who's going to launch at Oga from his left side.

Lamia watched at the fight in front of her and she couldn't help but got teary eyed as she looked at Hilda. If Oga hadn't beaten the men that almost got her friend, the blonde would be in serious danger. She wouldn't know what to do if that happened to Hilda. She tried struggling to see if she could escape but she couldn't. The rope tied around her was too tight. She tried shouting Hilda's name but her voice was overwhelmed by the shouts and cries of the men. Furuichi quickly nudged his shoulder at the pink haired girl to calm her down. He looked at her and shook his head, telling her to stop struggling. Lamia instantly knew what he meant. It was useless if she kept on struggling, it wouldn't help Oga and Hilda. She wanted to cry but she didn't want Furuichi to see her. So, she just bowed down her head and wished that somebody would help her friends.

"Oi, Oga!" a voice suddenly came from nowhere. It was quite loud that everybody stopped fighting and wondered who's voice it was.

"Up here, you punks!" said the voice.

Oga and Hilda looked up and saw three men standing on the roof. They squinted their eyes as they couldn't recognize who they were until the three men jumped off the roof and landed in front of them.

"Yo, Oga!" said the man with the light orange hair. "So this is were you've been hiding huh?"

"You guys..." Oga muttered as he put on a blank face. "What are you doing here? Have you come here to fight?"

"No. We were looking for a blonde but we stumbled upon these guys so we just followed them", said the big guy with braided pig tails.

"And you end up standing on the roof?!" Oga said, his voice quite surprised.

"Oh look Kanzaki", said another man who noticed Hilda standing behind Oga. "Oga's woman is here too."

Oga glanced at Hilda and asked, his right thumb pointing back at the three men, "You know these guys?"

"Hmm...He's the lip chained freak I beat up this morning when I was looking for Lamia", Hilda answered cooly with her usual stoical expression. The black haired man sweat dropped as he heard her answer.

"Oi Oga", Kanzaki suddenly spoke, a vein popping on his head. "Could you step aside while I settle my score with your woman?"

"No you can't", Oga replied shaking his hand from left to right in front of his face. "We're busy at the moment and she's not my woman."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Kanzaki growled, ignoring Oga's last comment. "What makes you busy at this moment huh?"

"Kanzaki-san, look", the big guy said as he pointed at the men surrounding them. There were many of them though there were already a few lying on the ground. Kanzaki looked at them with an annoyed face. When he turned his head to the side, he saw Furuichi and a pink haired girl with ropes tied around their bodies and near them were the MK5.

"I see...", Kanzaki smiled, as if realizing something. "So this what makes you busy huh? Damn you, Oga. Why'd you always have to be the busier one? Let us in on this too."

"Huh? You don't need to-" Before Oga could finish his sentence, Kanzaki already axe-kicked the man in front of him. Natsume, who always kept his smiling face, and Shiroyama the big guy followed him as well.

"Tch. You guys are fools", Oga added with a grin on his face as he watched them beat up a few. He then started grabbing two men and crushed both of their heads to the floor. When he stood up, he glanced back at Hilda who was now slashing her enemies in front of her. He sweat dropped as he watched the blonde attacking her enemies without holding back.

After a few moments of crushing, punching, kicking, and slashing, the fight finally subsided. The thugs, who still had a few energy left in their limping body, ran like chickens away from Oga and the gang. The MK5 however didn't get a chance to escape as they were tied with ropes after they were beaten to a pulp. Lamia even kicked them after she was freed by Hilda.

"That's what you get when you messed up with us, you freaks!" the pink haired girl said.

"Lamia that's enough", Hilda said as she looked at her friend. She then turned towards Oga and the other men. Her emerald eyes glared at them and the temperature of the atmosphere seemed to drop. "Now, where were we? I've already had enough of this nonsense and you calling me "his woman" though I despise this sewer rat a lot. Tell me then, which of you got the nerve to start this stupid news."

The men turned white and started sweating when they saw Hilda looking at them like the queen of hell. Each of them quickly thought of a reason to escape the impending wrath of the blonde.

"O-Oi Natsume", Kanzaki started, his feet already moving away from his friends. "We forgot to buy some milk this morning."

"Haha. Why are you walking away Kanzaki-kun?" Natsume said as he followed his friend, his hand scratching his cheek. "I think it's fish that we forgot to buy."

"W-wait for me Kanzaki-san!" Shiroyama shouted as his friends were already far away from him.

Oga and Furuichi gulped as they watched Kanzaki and his friends trotting hurriedly when they reached the street. Now, they were the only ones left. When they looked back at Hilda, they quickly averted their gaze from the menacing eyes of the blonde. Furuichi couldn't help but tremble. He bowed down his head and his face was full of sweat. He tried to calm himself by clenching his fist on his sides.

"H-Hilda-san", he suddenly spoke, his voice trembling, "well...um...you see..."

When he looked up and met Hilda's eyes, his voice instantly disappeared. He wanted to say something but his mouth remained opened and his jaw wouldn't move. He tried his best to break from this kind of curse until he felt a hand resting on his shoulder. His head creaked as he tried to turn his head.

"O-Oga..." he said, his voice hoarse which sounded between a whisper or a cry.

"I'll leave everything to you Furuichi", Oga told him, his face serious and sparkled with pride for his friend. He then added solemnly as he gave one final wave at his friend, "Sayonara."

After he bid farewell to his white haired friend, Oga dashed as fast as he could and soon disappeared in the crowd. Of course, Furuichi followed him crying as he shouted curses at his friend.

Lamia watched them scampering hurriedly on the street like idiots. She squinted her eyes while giving an expressionless face.

"Morons", she said. "Are we going after them Hilda-nee?"

Hilda sighed and answered her friend, "That's enough stupidity for today Lamia. Let's just go home."

Lamia smiled at her and nodded as she answered, "Yeah."
