Chapter 33 During the kidnap.

The moment she was given sight, she blinked several times. It was getting hard to see clearly, but she was sure she saw a lot of girls and in front as the leader was a girl who looked like she was in her third year. She had beautiful straight black hair. Her eyes were green but in short she was a model like girl, there was a problem, she was wearing a very arrogant look, on such a beautiful face.

Sakuno knew what was going to happen... will happen and that there is no reason to run. She looked at them without any wonder or curiousity, but it was hard not to be afraid, but the look on her face was a look which people call a casual glance. The girl walked up to her and slapped her hard across the face, that Sakuno's face swung to the side from impact.

The girl hissed in dislike as she said

"You vixen! You think you can steal Tezuka sempai from the most beautiful Saiyo? Your ugly braids are not even attractive. There is nothing about you that is beautiful and yet I can't stand the look of your face."

Sakuno was gaged so she could not say anything. She merely looked at Saiyo as her cheek stinged from the slap. She wasn't surprised that her clothes were smudged with dirt, nor was she surprised that she had a few cuts from being thrown to the ground when they hauled her in.

"But, since I am a very forgiving person..."

Saiyo threw a small sharp dagger towards her and it swung close to her knee cutting it in the process of arriving. Sakuno winced through the gag, it hurt but she'd take it, her eyes scanned the area as if looking for somehing.

"Cut off your braids and perhaps wash your face with this boiling water or scratch up your own face with that dagger, I will just let you go."

Sakuno could not think of a word to say when one of the girls started to untie her as the other girl ungaged her. Some of the girls behind Saiyo were getting uneasy, however they did move aside to show a pot containing boiling water, steam was rising from it... as it was still being heated using a portable stove.

"...why..."

Sakuno managed to utter because of her meek behaviour. Her eyes looked shocked as she stared at her in question.

Suddenly Kennichi came out of no where and pecked Saiyo as it tried to do it in hopes to protect Sakuno. The instant he appeared, Sakuno was in shock... Kennichi was still here! She got up but wasn't fast enough. Kennichi had annoyed Saiyo, and that wasn't something he should have done!

Saiyo saw the pain and fear in her eyes, and she knew in her hand she had the bargain piece.

"Well, I really love ducks... unfortunately I prefer them... Cooked..."

Sakuno's face paled as her blood run cold, but she stood up as she said quietly.

"Pl...Please... Don't hurt Ken-kun..."

Saiyo gave her only a lifted eyebrow as she stood next to the boiling pot and slowly lowered Kennichi in, giving enough time for the steam to tease him of what he may get next. Sakuno ran towards Saiyo, but she was restrained by two girls.

Sakuno's eyes were tearing up when she watched in horror as Kennichi's right leg shot up towards his body as he and tried to keep away from the hot water, but Saiyo took two pencils and pulled his left away from his warm body... Kennichi struggled, in panic as he had no idea what would be happening next...

The instant the water touched his leg... the pain that hit Kennichi was overwhelming for a duckling like him, it was hell and Kennichi couldn't describe the feeling, it was like he was loosing his own leg as the hot water stimulated every nerve in his small furry body. He did everything he can to move away but he couldn't.

"QUAAACCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK"

""

His cries of pain were so unbearable as Sakuno was crying so hard, she tried to free herself. She felt like her heart was being wrenched apart as she could do nothing and saw the smirk in Saiyo's eyes. Sakuno screamed in utter pain.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !"

Sakuno sobbed as she tried to release herself. Kennichi must be in great pain and she was feeling it very deeply in her core. She managed to wrestle herself free as she picked up the sharp dagger as she cut off her briads in two swipes. Her tears still coming down like streams, she begged.

"Ple...please let kennichi go."

"Sure..."

Sakuno ran towards Saiyo the moment Saiyo lifted Kennichi out of the boiling water. Kennichi who was now weak and could not scream any longer, had resignation written in his eyes.

She dropped Kennichi but Sakuno was there fast enough, her hands were burnt from the boiling water but she managed to get Kennichi before he took the next burn. It may hurt but she had Kennichi in her arms... it won't hurt him anymore... but she was still crying so hard.

"Ken-kun... Ken-kun... I am...so so sorry.. Ken-kun... I am sorry..."

Kennichi only managed to look at his mother with his hazy vision and gave a small weak quack. He was still alive but... barely. Saiyo on the other hand took the dagger and kept the dagger in the hot boiling water for a moment before she flicked it lazily.

"Your hands seemed to be unusable, I will help you scar you face then. I was so nice... I even sterelize it for you."

Sakuno thought, this was it... she had met with one of the worse kind of Fan girls... Saiyo was truly a demon, she closed her eyes but suddenly a shadow blocked just as Saiyo swiped the dagger.

Saiyo dropped her dagger as she saw the cut she made on the person face. She stepped back several steps as her face showed horror... the glint in the person's eyes was enough to burn the depths of hell into charcoal.

To be cont.

Please do not kill me... I'd do anything to live through my life. I am sorry too... when I wrote this, I did not cry but I felt pain. T^T I really love Kennichi I really do.
