Hello Guys!
Oh my gosh, I feel haaaaaappy today! I got 24 reviews! See? Reviews make me want to update... so here's another chappy! I felt so evil when I left you guys with a cliffy last chapter~
Anyhow, to make up for it, here's another chapter.
Chapter 5: His Name Was Usui
"Come on! Hurry! They're coming!" I yelled as I pushed more kids through the exit.
The blonde boy was just standing there.
"What are you doing?!" I shouted at him. "Go!"
"I won't go until you go."
I mentally face-palmed. "Just go already, you idiot! Who waits for a stranger to escape with them?" I pushed the boy through the hole and was about to crawl through the opening myself until I heard someone crying. My head whipped around and saw the little girl with her sister earlier.
I jumped down the cargo boxes and ran to her. I carried the crying girl and darted towards the window, just when the crash of china barrels were heard.
"Get them! Don't let them escape!" Criminal A commanded with a couple of men behind him. "YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOU MUST BE THE ONE WHO LET ALL THEM ESCAPE! AND YOU'RE GONNA PAY!"
I ran as fast as I could and climbed up the cargo boxes, carefully, since I was holding a child in my arms.
I held the little girl to the blonde who was still on the other side of the opening. He stared at me in horror. "Take her, blondie! Take her and run! Tell the others to escape, go with them!"
The blonde immediate transported the kid safely. I grasped one of the bars to hold myself up, but nearly fell off. I looked down and saw that Criminal had grabbed my foot and was yanking me down.
"I'm definitely going to make you pay, you ruined my business! You how hard it was to plan and kidnap you snobby brats?" He threatened. He yanked again and I yelped. My left hand slipped started to slip and with another pull, I would surely fall off.
Tears started to form in my eyes. No, I am not going to cry again, no. Stop, don't cry. You're pathetic.
I took a last glance a the window, telling myself that I have to remember this last glimpse of the outside world, my freedom.
By now, I was dangling with my right hand, and soon, it will slip to. I will fall. I will plummet to my doom in Criminal A and B's hands...
Just then, a figure appeared before my eyes. The same, familiar golden blonde with his serious eyes.
"Hold my hand." He said. He reached his hand out to me.
I clasped my hands tightly with his. Criminal A and B were now both pulling me down. The boy didn't even sweat, but I knew it was hard. He was defying gravity and the ugly kidnappers.
"Let go." I finally decided.
"No." Came a simple reply.
"Let go you idiot! If you don't, we'll both be pulled down. Go back!" I yelled at the blonde.
He was silent for a while and I expected him to listen to me and give up. Instead he said something I never forgot.
"I won't. I will never let you go, no matter how far away you are. I will always never let you go."
I blinked a few times and soon I realized that I was crying.
"Come on, princess. Come with me," he reached out his other hand and I placed one of my hands on his. He glared a the criminal one last time before pulling me up the hole.
I gave Criminal A a nice hard kick right in the face before leaving.
"Get them!" Criminal A yelled. His hand covered it left cheek, where I left a big purple bruise on. Criminal B tried to get up through the hole but I kept on kicking his shiny bald head again and again, until he fell off the cargo boxes.
The blonde and I used this opportunity to escape. We ran and ran, aimlessly. The woods looked the same wherever we went, like a never-ending maze.
Still, he held my hand tightly. Not letting go.
"Wait," I stopped, panting. My heart was racing and it the pain was killing me... Oh no... no, not again.
My heart disease was starting to react, and I didn't have my medication. I'm screwed. I grasped my chest and breathed heavily.
"What's wrong?" The boy asked. "You look pale, are you alright?"
I breathed deeply and said, "I... have heart disease. I'm not supposed to run..."
The boy was quiet for some time. Then he walked in front of me and knelled down.
"What are you doing?" I looked at him awkwardly.
"Get on, princess. I shall carry you."
"No, it's alright. I can walk by myself," I patted the boy's back to tell him to get up. I then walked ahead, trying to slow down my heart beat.
I realized that the boy wasn't by my side. I looked back and he was still there, in the ready-to-piggy-back-someone position.
"Come on," I called. He was still silent. "Oh come on!" I walked back to him.
"Get on."
"I'm heavy, you know."
"Get on."
"Blondie, we're about the same age."
"Get on."
"Come on-"
"I said, get on." He sounded scary this time, like he was impatient.
"Are trying to threaten me or something-" He got up and walked to me.
"Hey, hey, come on-" I closed my eyes but only felt myself being lift up like a feather.
"Hold on or else I'm going to drop you." I realized that I was being carried. Princess style.
"What?!" He let me go for a second and caught me again. "Ah! Hey, it's not funny!"
I watched him smirk.
"Oh gosh, I feel like a three year old," I complained.
"Fine then, you want me to piggy-back you home?" He teased.
"Yes, at least it's better than this."
"Alright then, if these are milady's orders." He suddenly flipped me over his back with ease.
He carried me quietly for some time. I watched the new leaved on the trees sprout and felt the spring breeze. I smiled to myself.
"Why are you smiling? You look like it's the first time you've been outside." He chuckled a bit.
"It is. It's my first time to go outside without a bunch of maids with umbrella following me." I replied.
He stopped talking.
"Why did you come back?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you come back for me?" I repeated my question.
"I told you before, I won't leave you behind." He answered.
I felt my hands slipping off, so I held myself tighter to him. "What kind of idiot will risk their lives for a stranger?"
"Well, I guess there is one."
"Who?"
"Me."
"Idiot."
He smirked and laughed.
"What's your name?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Usui. My name is Usui."
"Mine's Ayuzawa," I replied. "Nice to meet you, Usui."
I think he smiled at my words, but I couldn't see his face.
"Thank you." I said.
"What?" He was confused.
"Thank you for coming back for me." I leaned towards him and wrapped my arms comfortably around his neck.
"Jeez, Ayuzawa. You must have eaten lots of junk food, looks like you've gained some serious weight." He teased.
"Usui! You idiot! Are you calling me fat now? For your information, you were the one who insisted on carrying me." I was slightly annoyed. "How can you joke when those ugly kidnappers are searching for us?"
He just chuckled at my reaction. But his smile didn't last long.
It was wan't long before we heard shouts of angry men behind us.
I let go of Usui and jumped down. "Usui, come on. We have to hide." I tried to whisper.
He followed me and hid behind a huge tree. I settled behind some bushes. Soon, a couple of men were searching around the area with Criminal A and B.
"There's no one here boss," an ugly looking dude with a uni-brow reported to Criminal who still had a purple bruise on his left cheek. I silently giggled.
"Search! Those two must be here somewhere! They wouldn't have made it too far with Ms. Heart Disease," Criminal A yelled at the uni-brow dude.
The group of men were almost retreating when I heard a twig snap. Crap! How can I be so careless?!
"Wait!" Criminal shouted. "I think I heard something." He made his way near my bush.
His ugly scarred face came into view.
HE then said with a sing-song sadistic voice, "I finally found you~"
Oh. My. God. I am dead.
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
