Chapter 7: Nighttime Troubles
So our friends were stuck there. No one recognized their surroundings and Sorami was getting worried. It was a dark part of the city, especially that it was now night, with no street lights and a lot of back alleys. The only apartments were old and broken. It looked just like a place where murders took place on the movies.
"Man, what do we do?" Hidan complained. "I'm getting hungry."
"That makes sense," Kakuzu replied.
Hidan glared at Kakuzu knowing what he was relating to.
Suddenly they heard a high-pitched scream.
"Let go!" screamed a voice.
Our gang looked to the other side of the street to see a young woman being pulled down the sidewalk by a man.
"Just to a hotel for one night baby," he crooned.
"No!" she yelled.
Suddenly a fist knocked the man down.
Kakuzu had hit him.
Kakuzu grabbed the girl by the hand and led her towards his car.
"Please don't hurt me," she pleaded.
"It's okay," he told her. "I'm saving you."
Just then the man can running towards them.
"Give her back," the man yelled.
Just then Nobuyuki kicked him…you know where…and the man doubled over.
Then Kakuzu literally sent him flying.
"Are you okay?" Hareta asked the young woman they'd saved.
"Yeah," she replied.
The girl had ocean blue hair and bright, hot pink eyes. She wore jeans and a halter top. It was in the hobo-chic style.
The young woman looked around slowly.
"Um, I'm Meiko," she said. "Um I'm 23 years old and…oh! I like cake!"
Kakuzu looked at her puzzled.
"Where am I?" she asked.
"You don't know?" Hidan asked in disbelief.
"I forgot."
"What?"
"Where did I put my map."
She looked in her pockets.
"Here it is!" she said. "Um, we're here."
She pointed to a place on the map.
"Yes!" Hidan said. "Now we can get home."
Kakuzu nodded.
"Where do you two live?" Kakuzu asked Sorami and Meiko.
Sorami circled a place on the map.
"I don't have one," Meiko said.
"What?" Kakuzu asked.
"Well, you see I came to Tokyo a week ago and got a hotel. I was looking for a job and I found an ad. They told me to come here. Then it turned out to be a prostitution job…and the time for staying in the hotel I was in is done."
Everyone was silent for a moment wondering how she could really be this stupid.
"Can I…stay with you guys?" she asked shyly.
Kakuzu looked at her sardonically.
"I'm not a real prostitute," she said.
I cannot believe this! Kakuzu said, inwardly.
"Fine," Kakuzu finally muttered.
"Yay!" Meiko cheered, clapping her hands.
"Fine then everyone. Let's go."
A/N: Meiko is the ditz of the group you've all been waiting for. Have fun.
