Chapter 6 - Run

The music blared out the speakers behind Keiko as she was put down by a man in a hooded black coat. Miya looked over after picking up the microphone that had smashed next to her feet.
"What's going on, Keiko?" she asked, approaching them and trying to talk over the music.
"Get out of here, Miya. Quick!" Miya hesitated, reluctant to leave her best friend. "Trust me." Keiko added as she saw the hesitation in Miya's eyes.
Miya gave Keiko that 'I hope you know what you're doing look' and left hastily, with a few backward glances. Keiko's adrenaline was still pumping from when she'd fallen from that podium and it had pretty much sobered her up. Everything seemed to be returning to normal and people began dancing and drinking again.
"What do you want with me?" She snarled.
"Can we find somewhere... quiet to talk?" He asked with a chuckle.
She gave him a skeptical look. She was so sick of these freaks approaching her and she wanted to sort it out once and for all, she got the gist of what they probably wanted with her - the weird powers she's suddenly discovered. She walked towards a small back door of the warehouse and the man followed. Like most people, he annoyed Keiko. He seemed cocky and obviously thought he was funny. But he did sort of save her life, so if he was trying to kill her, he wouldn't of caught her, would he? However, she still prepared herself for a fight. Once they got outside she lead him somewhere quieter, she could hear him walking behind her and it made her nervous.
"So you like singing?" he asked.
"What's it to you?" she abruptly answered.
"Not many people can sing like you."
"What can I say? I'm special."
As she said this she felt her arms tingle, just like the night she fought of the heartless that attacked her in the alley. He looked at her and she could only see a part of his face, she saw that cocky smile that irritate from the first time she saw it only a few moments ago. He then grabbed her arm tight.
"I think you should come with me."
"I don't think I should if I'm honest! I'm sick of you and you're weirdo friends" she laughed and went to walk off but he didn't loosen his grip.
"Let go of me you freak!"
"Just come with me and I promise your life will be a whole lot better."
"No it won't, that's what perverts always say!" She pulled away from him more.
"Look, my erm... 'friend'... did a crappy job of trying to capture you, and I'm not about to fail as well." She could sense the anger in his voice now.
Some people who were also leaving the party noticed their struggle, but probably too drunk to care.
"Someone help me then!" She squawked at a few by passersby in the distance.
"Oh man, shut up!" He pleaded.
Her high heels were making it hard to pull away from him, he seemed pretty strong and had a good grip.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." she said.
"What?"
Keiko decided to go old school with her attack and scratched his face, this would work on anybody. He let go of her arm instantly at the sting of the scratches on his face. She started to run, she didn't care where but as long as it was away from him. He regained his composure and started to run after her.
I can't breathe. I can't actually breathe. I've never ran this much in my entire life.
She could hear his footsteps behind her and gaining on her. She looked around and didn't know where she was. She was completely lost. Then suddenly in front of her, about 30 or so heartless appeared out of the shadows. The man instantly caught up with her as she'd stopped. She was out of breath and panting a bit.
"You're gonna need to get fit if you're gonna join us." he chuckled. "Oh shit." he added as he noticed the heartless.
Keiko didn't waste any more time and conjured up her two red ribbons and kicked off her heels. She'd had little practice apart from slicing cans and whipping people for fun, but she had no choice, she had to kill these heartless. The man came to stand next to her, he glanced at her from under his hood. She noticed he had amazing green eyes and two little marks underneath them. She liked green eyes, they seemed unusual - in a good way.
"Time to fight!" He said casually as if it was something he did every day.
"So these guys aren't with you?" she asked, eyeing up the heartless.
"Pfft. No way. I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, one sprung towards them both to attack. Then the green eyed man sliced one of his two chakrams he'd just made appear.
"Hey... I wanted to kill one too..." She whined.
"There's enough to go around!" He laughed.
Keiko sliced the next one with her ribbons before he had chance. Then one by one, together, they sliced all the heartless and destroyed them all.
"My name is Axel by the way, got it memorized?"
"I'll probably forget." she said sarcastically. "Mine's..."
"Keiko, I already know." he laughed.
"That's kinda weird... Can you tell me why you want me to come with you?" she asked, looking up at him.
"Sure."
