Sayuri felt somebody attack her from the behind. The attacker suddenly held her arms down, but with adrenaline rushing through her and presence of mind, using her foot, she was able to push the man away from her back. As she had broken free, she noticed five men wearing black, their faces covered, just like ninjas.
"What do you want from me?" She asked bravely.
"Simple," one of the men answered, "Our boss wants us to bring you to him, got any problem with that?"
Sayuri spat at them. "Whatever your reason is, you can never take me to your boss," in the corner of her eye, she saw a long iron bar. She quickly grabbed it, then holding it with both hands; she was pointing it at them. "Just move and it'll be your mistake," she told them.
The men laughed, "Do you expect us to run away?" Then one man signaled to his fellow companion, "You can have her, I think the boss wouldn't mind if you have touched her,"
Sayuri backend, she could feel fear show in her eyes, but she did her best to hide it. She watched the man approaching her; he had the most maniacal face she had ever seen in the planet.
"Virgin flesh," she heard him say as he approached her, "Just perfect, pitch black hair, blue eyes and skin white and clear just like a clean sheet of paper…" but as he approached, Sayuri was able to strike him hard in the head that he fell on the floor.
"Boss," one of the men said "this is one dangerous flower, what shall we do?"
"Oh are you such a coward?!" the leader of the group said "She's just a girl, attack her!"
Sayuri braced herself as they attacked she used the iron bar like a sword. She just tried to imagine that she was a samurai who fights dirty ninjas. At first, she was able to strike them all, she triumphantly did it, but there's a saying: you should never let your guard down. She didn't notice somebody hit her hard on the back of her knee that she fell hard on the floor. She felt like she had sprained it because of the hard impact.
As she tried to stand up, the man who just hit her was now pinning her down to the ground. Then on the corners of her eyes, she noticed that those men she had hit are regaining consciousness. She looked outside, there was a thunder storm. Then her eyes focused on the men around her. Is this the end of me? She didn't have the strength to push them off, they are all so strong, each men pinning her extremities and one man a top of her, what can she do?
Then suddenly a stone hit the head of the man a top of her. In rage, the man looked at the intruder, "WHO'S THERE?"
Then on the entrance of the warehouse stood a man with golden curls and is soaked by the rain, "I'm quite surprised that it takes 5 men to assault one girl,"
"Then who are you to interfere with us?" One of the men asked him.
"I am that girl's companion, got any problem with that?" Then in an instant, Momiji, a skilled martial artist, suddenly attacked the men single handedly.
"What the?!" the leader of the group said, and then he looked at his terror-stricken companions. "Don't just stand there, attack him!" he ordered.
Sayuri watched those men attack Momiji but, he expertly beat them all. So cool…
When he was able to knock off the last of the leader's men, Sayuri felt somebody grab her and put a knife in front of her throat. "Hey you!" she heard him say to Momiji. "If you move, I'll slice her throat open."
For a moment, Momiji didn't move. Sayuri noticed his hazel eyes, he is forming a strategy, and then she saw somebody got up behind Momiji, in his hand he had the iron bar she used earlier. She got to act or else, it might be the end for the both of them.
"USAGI-KUN! BEHIND YOU!" Sayuri said then she kicked the leader's softest spot, and she was able to get away from him. The leader just fell on the ground squirming in pain. "Annoying brat!"
Then moments later, Momiji already stood beside Sayuri, in his hand, he held the iron bar, and then he pointed it towards the leader of the group. "If you ever lay a finger again at her, I would never forgive you."
Sayuri looked at his expression. He really is so serious, not like the times they were together. He seemed kinda scary and had a domineering presence. "Get up and leave!" he told them.
The cowardly boss signaled his companions to leave. One by one, they left them even if it means that they went out limping!
As they got out, Momiji gave a heavy sigh. Sayuri looked at him with wonder. "Usagi-kun, is that really you?"
"Huh?" Momiji looked at her.
"Nothing," Sayuri said looking away. The rain outside had stopped. After all that happened, she felt bad because she had dragged him into a fight. She hugged herself, like as if she was protecting herself. Then she took another glance at him. Then she noticed that he had a wound at his left arm and it was bleeding. "You're bleeding…"
"Huh?" he said.
"I SAID YOU'RE BLEEDING IDIOT!" she said in an outburst that caused Momiji to be shocked. 'I-I- don't want anybody to be hurt because of me!" Sayuri said. She had reflected on recent events, that everybody around her seems to get hurt. She felt her knees gave way that she sat on the floor. "You can let go off me now, thank you for helping me, but, you'll just hurt yourself if you continue helping me,"
"I wouldn't help you if you ever stood so defenseless against them." Momiji said firmly. "A wound on the arm is nothing compared to a life in danger, do you understand?" Then he looked at her. Tears are starting to form on her eyes. "It is useless if you keep on blaming yourself, if ever you think you are to blame, and then there are lots of ways to make it up to those people, if you see my shoulder bleeding, then why wouldn't you treat the wound for me or make a delicious pastry for me?" He smiled, went to her level, and then wiped the tears away from her eyes. "Let's go home," he said.
--&--
Momiji had to carry Sayuri on his back on the way home. "I'm so sorry to inconvenience you Usagi-kun, but you see, I really sprained my knees back there,"
"You know you keep on apologizing," Momiji said.
"Sorry,"
Then Momiji laughed. "There you go again,"
"Eh?!" then she hit Momiji in the head, "I am not," she said teasingly.
"Don't move so much, or else you'll fall," He said.
"I know you wouldn't let me, because if I do, you'll catch me right?" Sayuri said teasing him. They both laughed.
"Did you see that we are able to defeat 5 men?" Momiji said cheerfully.
"That's because we are a team." Sayuri said. Then she suddenly kissed Momiji on the cheek which made him blush. "Thank you for today, Usagi-kun," then she rested her head on his shoulder.
Momiji smiled a smile that he could no longer contain that it stayed on his face for a long time. "You know," he told her, "I was kinda worried during that time I saw you helpless, I shouldn't have gone after that ice cream stand, after all, they just melted outside, too bad we weren't able to eat them,"
"Really?" Sayuri whispered. "I knew it; you are worried about me,"
"Nope, I know you can handle them, but I guess I was wrong," he said teasingly, that, Sayuri hit him again in the head.
"Idiot, there were five of them," Sayuri said "But I wish you could have seen me defeat them, if it weren't for me, you could have suffered amnesia,"
The two of them laughed. And then Sayuri rested her head at his shoulder again, this time, it felt like dead weight.
"You must be tired," Momiji said, and then he felt her nod. He smiled then whispered "I'm just glad you're safe,"
