Saya didn't have to think for a second. She was acting instinctively: Her hand reached out to find her sword in it immediately. She was going to strive forward but loads of bullets flew towards her. However none of them could hit her, being stopped by a cello-case. She her Kai and the other flee down the stairs and she pleaded, that they would get away unharmed. Saya herself jumped behind a corner and ducked near the wall. What could she possibly do against this mad girl? She would have to wait until Hibiki ran out of ammunition. And even if she would survive that long, she couldn't simply kill her: no matter in what state she was in at the moment, Hibiki still was her nice.
Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and looked into Hikaru's eyes.
"You should be more careful," he said, "just imagine what I could have done with you. Who knows whether I would have succeeded if it had been my intention to kill you." Saya tightened her grip around her sword and raised it into the air. I may not kill her, she thought, but I will kill you. She wanted to attack, but Haji had already thrown him to the ground. "Let me do this", she whispered in anger, but the two men had already disappeared from her view.
Someone threw her to the ground. She could hear the shooting again. How many damn bullets fitted into this gun? As soon as the noise stopped Solomon helped her to her feet and handed her the katana which she had lost in the fall. Still unsure about what to do with her nice she stood there doing nothing at all. It was just a matter of time until the shooting would start again. Or had she finally ran out of ammunition? She could not finish the thought until Hibiki proved it to be wrong. She leaped to the side. Hibiki's dagger followed her and ended up sticking out of the earth a centimetre next to her.
A pair of arms grabbed her and she felt the ground vanish under her feet. Seconds later she saw it below her, getting smaller and smaller. She heard the gun going off again and again. Then she felt a sudden pain in her left leg.
"I'm sorry", Solomon whispered into her ear, "that I couldn't prevent that."
He landed next to the car, where Saya gratefully discovered, that her family had made it there unharmed. She sat down and Kai started the car. With the steady shake of the car and the throbbing pain in her leg, her mind drifted off into a calm darkness.
