Chapter Seven: The Last Weekend Of Summer Break
The next day, Moka and Arashi spent all day shopping. First, they went to some stores for Arashi, and
bought him a few new outfits to wear. Next, they spent the rest of that Saturday shopping for Moka.
That took about six hours, much to Arashi's disgust. Finally, they were done shopping and decided to go
eat. They decided on a small diner on the corner of the main street. "Arashi, I had so much fun today" "I
did too, Moka. I'm glad I got to spend it with you." This brought a smile to both of them. As they were
making their way back to the limousine, they decided to take a shortcut through an alleyway. About the
middle of the alley, five rather built men surrounded the couple, which made Moka cling to Arashi's
arm. "What do we have here? a couple retiring for the night? And who might this beauty be?" was the
leader of the gang's question. "We're just going home, guys. We don't want any trouble" was Arashi's
response, but it fell on deaf ears. "Oh, don't worry, boy. You just walked into trouble" was the leader's
remark. Then he proceeded to grab Moka's arm, which made Arashi burn with rage. At this point, Azriel
spoke up by saying, "you don't need my powers for this. Your father gave you more training than most
professional fighters get, so stand up for yourself, and more importantly, your girlfriend." After he said
that, Arashi grabbed the leader's arm and hip tossed him onto a pallet to the side, smashing him
through it. He was obviously in pain from the reaction he gave, which was a groaned "what are you all
standing around for?" As that was said, one gang member proceeded to throw a haymaker to Arashi's
face, but the attack was blocked and countered with several rapid sternum punches followed by an
uppercut, then a straight kick to the attacker's midsection, sending him rolling several feet away. The
next assailant tried to land a roundhouse kick to Arashi's right ribcage, but he grabbed the man's leg and
countered with a right straight punch to the man's face, shattering his nose and knocking him off his
feet in the process. As he was rolling on the ground in agony, his fellow gang member threw a straight
punch, but with his whole body leaned with the punch, putting him off balance, and with the training
Arashi had went through, he would not hesitate to capitalize on this mistake. Arashi slightly pushed the
man's fist to the side just barely enough to miss his face, then, while still holding the man's arm with his
right hand, brought his left fist up under the attacker's arm, just inches away from his body, to land an
uppercut to the man's chin, breaking his front teeth, then kicking the man's legs out from under him,
slamming him to the ground, effectively taking him out of the fight. The last man stared into Arashi's
eyes with a fear like he had never experienced before. The final aggressor then pulled a knife from his
pocket and flicked it open. He had no idea that even if he was to stab Arashi, it would cause him no
harm, but Arashi was trained not to let that happen so he decided to humor the man. Moka saw the
knife and even though she knew the knife could not hurt Arashi, it still worried her as she yelled, "please
be careful, Arashi!" with tears welling up in her eyes. The man charged Arashi and slashed at his face a
couple of times, missing every time. The man then swung wide trying to stab Arashi in the left lower
stomach, which was the opening Arashi had been waiting for. Arashi then intercepted the man's hand
with his left hand, grabbed the back of the man's jacket, and pulled him into a devastating knee to the
midsection, which made the man drop the knife and fall to his knees, coughing up blood. Arashi then
stared at the man for a brief moment before drawing his fist back and launching his fist into the man's
face, breaking his jaw bone and shattering four teeth in the process. Moka then ran up to Arashi, hugged
his neck, and saying, "Thank you Arashi. I don't know what I would have done if you wasn't here." "Well,
Moka, you'll never have to worry about that because I will always be here for you." They then made
their way back to the limousine.
