I cannot precise what happened in sequence, I just know that suddenly I felt a strong pain on my face, I opened my eyes again and I realized that Andrade had punched me good, Rita and dusk were looking at me with visibly worry and even before I asked what was going on, the noble told me:
-Montecchio, I know very well you had a lot of affinity and feeling towards the nekomimi Yumi he then pointed to the door and that this revelation is surely shocking for you, but losing your mind now will just mean our ruin and theirs as well! I just got to know that my fianc e has been beaten up and tortured and yet I am still here trying to give my best to help her as well! That is why, stay strong now! he then stretched his hand in order to help me stand up.
-A Alright I replied accepting his help, positioning at the door again let s keep listening, Yumi apparently still is laughing from Akira s comment, let s see if we find out, maybe their motivations to understand what is going on.
-Yes I agree Montecchio nodded together Andrade, Dusk and Rita however, now that we are here, we could give our position to the royal troops, so soon they shall be here! In case Silva notices what is going on, we can act on our own here, assure their safety and corner Silva!
-You are completely right! I then asked Enma I know we have a very slow connection and that the data is sent to one of Silva s workers, but do you think it is possible to hack into his computer and send a message from there to the king?
-Yes, perfectly possible replied Enma, quickly.
-Great, send this message in the email to *target located, we are surrounded, we need help, emergency password 722648* - I added then if possible find our coordinates and send him in the email.
-Yes Richard Enma replied beginning to type this shall take around ten minutes, the door shall open in one or two.
-I understand at that moment Yumi stopped cackling and apparently was going to resume talking, that is why I looked at Andrade and said let s resume listening.
-Love? Don t make me laugh poisonous snake! You might have fooled that dog girl and that idiot Richard, but you never ever fooled for even a second since you arrived at our house! Do you think I don t know about your real plans?
-R Real plans? asked Akira with a seriously confused voice my only plan is to take good care of my dear for all my life!
-Hahahah! Yumi cackled again, and apparently she kicked my nekomimi by the sound that we heard and and her pain shout that is such a bullshit story! If you were at least a little bit smarter, I wouldn t be so pissed about everyone having bought that one! Do you really think no one would notice that you were sent by the nekomimi extremists to take control of Richard s mind!
-What are you talking about Yuminee-chan - asked Akira, between one pain lament and another I don t control Richard I just t take care of him he didn t change a thing! He is the same gentle man that bought me!
-Bought you my arse! she then kicked Akira again, that howled in pain you were just way to pretty and done for someone that was sentenced to slavery! You had pretty and well taken care of hair! It seemed that you extremists knew about Richard s preference for young nekomimis and how can you even dare say he didn t change? This Richard you are talking about isn t the same that I saw growing up for twenty one long years of my life! A monster capable of rapping someone! Rapping someone he saw growing for also twenty one years! I heard then her ripping little Akira s clothes, piece by piece imagine the person you respected most on your life ripping your clothing this way! I was molested by this man I do not recognize being the one that saved me after the big earthquake!
All from akira to Andrade, Dusk and Rita were speechless with what Yumi had just said; the silence was crushing, slowly I heard sobbing followed by light crying, that I immediately knew it was Yumi s, at that exact moment I could feel how much I had hurt the blonde nekomimi that was once my loved one; I noticed I was being observed when the noble touched my arm and asked:
-M Montecchio that is Yumi s making up isn t it? he then looked at me with a face of complete disbelief she is just trying to justify her wrong doings, isn t that right?
-Unfortunately - I replied shaking my head that is the more pure truth -I c can t believe it commented Andrade with incredulity, adding in sequence as she is a slave it isn t much of a problem but for you to get this far could you please tell me how that happened? I need to know about this before I can make my own opinion -Alright Andrade, Dusk and Rita, I think you all deserve to know what happened
I then began explaining to the astonished audience the details of what happened, omitting how was the sexual part, of course; I also let it crystal clear that I did not take pride of what happened and that if I could go back in time I would; Dusk was completely revolted at first, but comprehended that I really didn t wish to do that in any way at all, especially after she found out I used to have feelings for Yumi, after meditating for a while, Andrade said:
-Things slightly changed with this new fact Montecchio he then looked at the door in both cases we need to capture Yumi alive.
-Why do you believe that dear companion? I asked, trying to follow his logic.
-Because Yumi might have joined Silva s side as part of her vengeance against you he replied, shaking his head in sequence although if I know her well, I don t think she would involve innocent people in this, probably she would attack you personally; I believe she might have become insane -Insane? I asked even more scared of this possibility.
-Yes, I have heard a lot of things regarding women that have been rapped Montecchio, it isn t rare for them to simply become crazy after the experience, especially if they liked the rapists before the event took place, if that is true, she doesn t have conscience to know her own acts to be evil, that is why we need to arrest her because in case this option is true we need to put her in an insane asylum
At that exact instant that one of Yumi s statements came back to my mind, right after the fatidic event thanks my master for giving this humble slave of yours something much more worthy than I could deserve a lowly creature like this servant of yours that kept herself pure for this moment just for the master for twenty five long years it couldn t be if that was true, then I would be the cause of all this! Guilty began eating me inside when we heard through the sound system a distorted voice, but known one from Silva s, saying:
-Hadeshi Helber and Tsukimiya Yumi, I ask you to stop what you are doing and bring the two prisoners to the main meeting room, as it is almost in time to prove they are yet alive.
-Oh damn said the male one on the room they interrupted our fun! But at least we shall get to see what we wanted, isn t it?
-Y Yes replied Yumi, but I felt like she hesitated now take the dog girl and I will carry the brat!
-Alright alright - said Helber, without sounding very willing leave this to me!
-Enma this doors opens or not? They are leaving! I asked, desperate in a certain way.
-Unfortunately I had a problem and had to restart the sequence! said Enma, worried however after doing this, all door of the complex will open with a password of three, one, three; give me thirty more seconds!
-Alright Enma! We count on you! I replied, gritting my teeth.
After that I heard the prisoners being taken away, I cursed my lack of luck with those electronic devices and just after two whole minutes is that Enma managed to unlock the locks, I opened the door and made a quick inspection of the room, noticing blood where Dawn was probably down, that left me completely worried as well as Andrade; we opened the other door and faced with a dark and apparently empty corridor, apprehensive I asked:
-Enma! To where should we go? I looked around and saw nobody most importantly, where are they now?
-Richard, I have bad news Enma replied looking at the map you will have to follow left and north on the next crossing, now regarding the girls, they just entered the main meeting room, that is just located at the end of said corridor, in that room, if my counting isn t off there are already thirty people -My Saint Meow then we have a serious complication I thought for some moments and then asked, already heading towards there do you have any ideas?
-The best tact would be to enter unnoticed and find a way to cause some diversion of sorts replied Enma, shaking her head but for now, just head there for now!
With just a yes I replied and then all of us began running towards the place, after two minutes we saw a big door before us, at the end of the corridor; I knew that this would be very risk for non-combatants, for that I asked Enma:
-Enma, we can t enter there with Rita and Dusk, since they don t know how to fight, is there some place near and secure for us to leave them?
-There is a small room used for keeping cleaning material specific for this big room she then pointed to the map I hardly believe anyone will use it today.
-I understand I then pointed to Dusk and Rita, after locating the entrance enter this room and don t leave until I tell you to, because we shall probably enter combat now, understood?
-Yes! Rita and Dusk nodded together.
-Bojack brothers! You are late! Hurry up for Saint Meow! We are waiting announced Silva through the speaker.
-Richard Enma called through the communicator this can be our chance! This Bojack brothers are coming this way and have approximately the same size as you and Andrade; and with his extremely flashy, you shall not be center of attention!
-Ohhhh I understand! I smiled and looked at the Andrade, ordering him to stay hidden on the other side prepare yourself to attack to kill at my sign, aim for the head, at my sign, understood?
-Yes! Andrade nodded, getting into position with his sword.
Soon we heard the sound of the running steps from the Bojack brothers on the corridor, as soon as they were right beside us both me and Andrade hit their heads with the hilt of our swords; making them both go unconscious, as soon as we took our clothing off, we took them to another small room that was a little before the girl s one, and dressed with their rapper clothes that, for our luck, were big, allowing us to hide our swords; then we headed towards the room where the hostages were, Silva, Yumi and the henchmen; when we entered everyone looked at us, I looked at Dawn and saw her deplorable state, being completely hurt, Akira had just some small wound and bruises; the silence was crushing and for a moment I thought that even with our cap, chains and sunglasses they would recognize us, however all Silva said was:
-If you two weren t geniuses on the art of intimidation and weapon crafting he then pointed to where we should sit and if I didn t owe you so many favors I would be mad at you guys, but now sit at your places since it is almost time already!
-Is it almost time? asked Yumi with a happiness face, rubbing herself all over Silva then I can already torture the small brat until she lets out her last breath I had to fight against my urge to stand and behead her at that exact moment can I dear Silva?
-No he replied her making a finger sign of no pushing her aside, since she was too old for him it is still too early, I need her alive until Rita calls me saying that they are under way.
-But why does she need to stay alive until Rita calls? Yumi then looked to Dawn and Akira.
-Because I need to prove to that accursed Montecchio that they are still alive he then pointed to the two so he will not hesitate into following my orders and come here to rescue them.
-Come here rescue them? asked Yumi with a visibly confused face, I looked at Andrade and he was as lost as me for what you told me about the nekomimis that are against the extremists, we just need to end the person manipulating my sweetie - she then pointed to Akira and that he would go back being the kind person that he always was and not the monster that rapped me, isn t it? I don t understand why would he need to come here, isn t killing her enough?
-Tsukimiya - replied Silva with a mocking face, looking to her what the nekomimi from the opposing extremist side said was that, the noble Montecchio Richard allied himself with the extremists to overthrow the king, which we all know they lost after the war; I just added exposing that to Your Highness with my personal vengeance against him I want him to come here so I can finally murder him and get said vengeance that is why I am using them as bait to him.
-B B B But - stuttered Yumi, with an horrified face you said that she was manipulating and transforming sweetie into a monster I brought Dawn becauase you wanted that in exchange for you to help me, as you said she had fled from you and you wanted revenge but in Akira s case all I needed to do was to bring her to you and help you terminate her that he would be back to normal he would be again the sweetie I adored so much!
-And you believed it? replied Silva, starting to laugh at the nekomimi next thing you are going to tell me is that you believe in Santa Meows? Now be a good kitty until he is comes to my hands and I crush him as mow!
-N No! Yumi then became even more horrified, with a visibly disturbed face and wide open eyes y you can t do that! Not with my sweetie! That wasn t what we agreed on! shouted the nekomimi holding Silva s arm with her claws and shaking him.
-Richard Enma said through the communicator apparently Yumi was manipulated and fooled!
-You really believe in that hypothesis Enma? I asked in a whisper, in a way that it seemed that I was talking to my brother Bojack I think Yumi is too smart to buy such a cheap story.
-As you said that you rapped her and knowing it was clear as water she had a lot of care for you Richard Enma replied, what felt like I had just been just punched in the gut she probably was very vulnerable, trying to cope somehow with what happened and mainly, trying to find the cause of your sudden change, seeing she certainly doesn t believe that you are capable of such a thing on your own.
-I u understand Enma - I replied, feeling even more guilty for what I have done, but having my attention caught with what was about to happen.
-I DO NOT recall Silva looked at Yumi with an ice cold stare, grabbing Yumi s paw s wrist very fiercely agreeing anything with a filthy retarded and with mental issues slave like you he then threw her where Dawn and Akira were now stay there quietly if you don t want to die before those two there he then took a device from his pocket and dialed a number, after around a minute he hung up damn, Rita won t answer the phone -What shall we do? asked a voice from the back of the room.
-Well I doubt that Richard will follow my orders exactly right then he thought for some moments if I know him very well he might have already planned something and might even be coming here after torturing Rita enough well then there are no motives to allow these three girls alive, don t you all think?
-YES! all people on the room replied in one voice.
-Great, I know that you would understand me replied Silva, taking out his shirt and ordering I just ask you to wait, I want you to watch me as I fuck this little personal caretaker of that disgusting Richard, so I can feel even more fulfilled, then you all can do anything with these or the ones that are locked on the cell then his hand headed to touch the naked body of my beloved and fragile nekomimi.
I remember that Enma tried to tell me something through the communicator, but at the exact moment that I noticed that Akira was in danger of being molested, I saw everything turning red from hatred and in the next instant I had my sword hitting the ground an inch from my unconscious nekomimi, regarding Silva, I was close enough to slash a bit of his hair; with a mixture of surprise and anger on his eyes and astonishment on the others, he howled:
-Bojack! Are you insane? Why did you attack me that way - that was when he looked at my sword and noticed the Montecchio s family crest on it, at that instant he cackled for some moments and then exclaimed well well! If it isn t the honorable noble Montecchio Richard!
-And don t you forget that Andrade Saito is also here! he walked towards Dawn and Akira and pointed his sword at Silva I won t forgive you scum for hurting my beloved!
-That is just so perfect! I can end two nekomimi s extremists pawns in one go! Silva then clapped enthusiastically would you please at least tell me how did you find this place? I am actually very curious with how you pulled this one out.
-Simple, I just captured Tsuchimi Rita in the moment she was trying to take my niece to where you ordered her to! I pointed at him with the sword then, in possession with one sample of her DNA and by chance finding out she wasn t a slave, it was easy to find out about hers and yours daughter Silva Daisy , with a little bit of more research we found out where she was being trained to be your sexual slave; as soon as I got to know this fact, she told me everything I and the king needed to know in exchange of a bargain plea!
-Very ingenious Montecchio Silva smiled while talking, what made me confused since I had just frustrated his plans so you just made my reputation drop to the ground, right? Great! That just means I don t have to act on the shadows anymore and I can openly try to seize the throne that should have been my family s! he then snapped his fingers, behind us I heard crossbows being loaded, I looked behind and at least ten of them were ready to shoot I am glad the nekomimi informant warned me this could happen! Now I can end two of the biggest king s supporters at the same time, have fun with your nekomimi then dominate this country! Are you ready?
-YES! shouted all the henchmen that had crossbows.
-Then have fu - Silva was saying, however I wasn t paying attention anymore.
I can t believe it shall end here! I thought, preparing me to attack and at least take as much enemies as possible together with me; however the sound of something metallic flying and falling on the other side of the room brought me back to reality, everyone aimed their crossbows to the air duct that was big enough for a person to go crawling and from where the lid had flown from, as something move in there, everyone shot, missing all attacks, then a hand holding a repetition crossbow appeared from there and began shooting back at them, from five bolts, three hit their targets; then he let go of it and, placing its hands on the sides of the place, pulled the body forward.
A person using a black raincoat with a mysterious volume on its back landed crouching on the center of the room, then it covered itself with the coat as soon as the henchmen had loaded their crossbows; everyone shot at him, however the bolts didn t seem to pierce the weird material that the coat was made of, as there wasn t a single scratch on it at any given moment, as soon as it was sure they were reloading again, he stood up quickly and drew something from his back; at that moment I recognized him as our blonde companion named Yokumbi, he then made a hand combat signal ordering Andrade and I to throw ourselves to the groun, which we did with extreme speed.
Yokumbi then aimed a huge crossbow that was connected to some sort of wire to his back, Silva had enough time to barely find cover behind one pillar, meanwhile I ordered Enma to lock the doors down so as no one could escape, the sound of them locking was simultaneous with the trigger being pressed and bolts beginning to fly in every direction, the sound of a crossbow recharging itself at an unimaginable speed and all henchmen trying to find cover and being hit in the process; after what felt like a minute the weapon began making a dry sound and so he said:
-Crap, I ran out of ammo! he then threw the weapon to the ground and removed the belt Richard what did you think of my crossbow machine gun? It can shoot up to one thousand bolts a minute!
-I am i impressed! I replied while looking around and seeing a lot of bolts on the ground and almost all henchmen hit with a various bolts on their body Andrade stand up and check if we have any survivors!
-Yes Montecchio! Andrade replied, standing up we shall fight against any resistance! Go after Silva! As much as I would love to do it myself, I know that he would just lose to you and the Capuleto in the handling of a sword, Montecchio, go avenge my dawn!
-Leave it to me! I then turned around and pointed with my sword towards the pillar he was hiding behind leave your hiding and fight like a man!
-Heh grumbled Silva, already leaving the pillar it seems I don t have an option unless killing you all? Maybe that is the only way I have to come out innocent from this situation, as I don t believe that you had the courage to report this all to the king -Oh! I indeed had, don t you worry I pointed to the direction of the main gates 0 actually if I am not wrong, the royal troops must be on their way Silva, seeing as we contacted them some time ago.
-D Damn it - said Silva, feeling motivated again after some moments b but there is no proof that I am actually involved in all this! I can say that I was dragged to this place as part of some plot of yours!
-That is a shame Silva, it won t be possible, seeing we are recording everything that is being said here, isn t it Montecchio Enma? You are indeed recording everything right? You can reply through the internal sound system actually I said and waited for the reply.
-Yes it is Uncle Rick! Enma replied, with a voice she did when she was pretending to be my niece is it all safely kept here!
-E Even Enma I c can t believe don t you tell me - asked me Silva with unbelievable eyes.
-That is very good my dearest niece I then looked at the pathetic noble, with the sound of swords echoing behind my back yes, Enma was a double agent especially hired by me in order to help me investigate the traitor and the nekomimi revolution, normally in cases like this I would just arrest the head of all this operation and bring him or her to royal judgment made by the king himself, however for you I have another proposal.
-And which would that be? asked a defeated Silva.
-After what you did with Andrade s fianc e, Dawn, torturing and beating her up I pointed then to the inumimi behind me fooling my childhood friend that was vulnerable, but mainly for kidnapping and hurting the most important nekomimi of my life I pointed then my sword to the evil noble and proclaimed I cannot, in my best judgment allow you to leave this place alive; that is why I will give you an opportunity that you always sought for, a duel that shall only end with the death of one of us.
-And what do I gain with it? replied Silva, a little bit more energetically.
-A lot, considering you have nothing to lose I then placed myself on guard if you win the duel you shall still be arrested and will have your family name thrown in the mud, but at least you were able terminate the one that brought you this, if you lose you shall not see the downfall of your history in this life!
-I understand Silva replied also placing himself on guard come then Montecchio Richard, as I assure I shall take something good out of this night!
A mortal dual began then, we both began attacking with our swords above our heads, with descendant movements both of them clashed against each other and sparks flew, making us enter an endurance combat, with our weapons grinding against each other at our faces height, with the expected metallic sound that is expected at those times, suddenly I felt my belly being hit by Silva s foot, making me go a few steps back, then I noticed he was jumping towards me with an attack that was coming from high, I dodged it hitting his sword with mine from the side and hitting his ribs with a well-placed mid kick on his ribs followed by a low kick that knocked him to the ground, I tried to stab him with my sword then while he was laying, to what he dodged by rolling to the side.
The fight kept ferocious into the night, but not for very long since we already wounded and tired, with me having a small advantage over Silva; at a certain point, we were so breathless that we would have enough energy left for one more strike, the last one that would decide everything; so much that me and him knew that fact, that is why we just faced each other and placed ourselves in our best guards; the noble placed his sword over his head, ready to strike down with all his might, regarding me, I was slightly standing on my side, I inverted the grip on the hilt of the sword and also raised it over my head, however with its tip pointing down, opposing Silva s, that was pointing up, after we faced each other one last time, we shouted with all our might:
-The rivalry between the Montecchio and Silva family ends at this instant! we began running towards each other lets settle this for once and all!
Silva came to me with a frighteningly potent and descendent slash while me, after faking I would do the same, twisted my wrist and instants before I apply the hit, I changed the path of my sword, making it attack from the side; with that I dodged his sword and we passed through each other, with our backs facing themselves; I felt blood going down my arm, however the pain wasn t too big so I figured it wasn t a deep cut, I quickly brandished my sword to the ground in a way to clean the blood on its blade and I put it back in its sheath; as soon as I finished that, I turned around on the very same moment that the noble let his sword drop to the ground and then kneeled, tilting to his side and falling belly down, apparently lifeless already.
I then turned around and walked towards the prisoners and Yumi on the exact moment Andrade had just ended the last of Silva s henchmen that was able to fight; when he saw me victorious, he looked at Yokumbi that just told me go to her, I shall check if we will have prisoners ; the blonde nekomimi that was still in shock recovered herself upon seeing me, standing up quickly in sequence, bowing; she was going to talk to me when I completely ignored her, as I need to certify myself of another thing before, that is why I untied an already water eyed and naked Akira that, when she noticed she was free, hugged me and began crying hard, shouting Dear! Dear! Deaaaaaaarrrrr! without managing to say anything aside that; while Andrade was taking care of Dawn, she recovered conscience, and looking at me, Yumi and Akira on my arms, said in almost a whisper:
-R Rick it is so good that you brought my beloved - she coughed in sequence I k know you must be really mad at Y Yumi but hear her out she was c confused she gave up her own body so as they wouldn t rape neither me nor the little one Akira -I Is that true Akira-chan? I asked gently letting her go when she stopped sobbing Yumi did that?
-Y Yes although I am very mad at what she did - Akira replied, drying the tears with her paws yes she did what we did with the guard when he said he wanted to do that with us -I u understand I then looked at Yumi, that had her eyes turned to another side, and without taking my eyes out of her I asked Akira-chan, can you help noble Andrade to make this first care procedures on Dawn while your dear talks with Yumi in private?
-Yes! Akira replied energetically, I also felt she was nodding.
-Yumi, come I need to have a talk with you I called her, standing up in sequence and walking right, in a way we were around twelve feet (around 4 meters) from the group.
-Here I am master Richard she bowed.
-Stop with that, please I never expected that from anyone that was another person but me - I looked down while I was replying, however facing her decisively next just tell me what you told Silva was the motive that lead you do what you did?
-Yes - Yumi replied with already watery eyes on the day after what happened between us, I tried to live my life as if nothing had happened, however on the way I couldn t hold it in myself anymore and began crying I was afraid of coming back home and meet the same being that did that with me and I know it wasn t you that hurt inside of me when I heard a person heard me, then I told him everything and always when I went shopping there he was ready to listen to me until a day he talked about how you could be under control of the extremists I wanted so much to believe my sweetie was under someone s control that the sweetie that saved me twenty one years ago wasn t the same one that did that atrocious thing against me - she then began crying hard, I didn t pity her though, I just felt sad for what I did, after she calmed down, I said.
-I comprehend - I replied placing my hand on my chin and concluding, coldly so you were manipulated be the unscrupulous noble there I then pointed to Silva s body you are as much of a victim as us and then I turned around to begin walking, but I felt Yumi s claws gently sinking themselves into my clothing, saying in sequence.
-W What do you intend to do with me sweetie? Yumi asked, however I didn t feel manipulative intent from her.
-I sincerely don t know I pointed to Akira and Dawn maybe sell you to someone as I doubt they will forgive you after that however in case they do you might stay I don t know at that exact instant Yokumbi signed me, saying that everything was clear on his side Enma, you can unlock the room Dusk and Rita are, I bet they want to look what has happened to what Enma just replied Yes Richard , I am going there afterwards -W Wait Richard she then looked at me with tears on her eyes a allow me at least take care of you know if you are ok don t take from me the only reason I have to live -I believe that you might not be able to do that anymore I gently took her paws from my clothes because I think I already have someone that I want to take care of me forever I looked then at Akira and also you always end up mixing your personal feelings with your behavior, that cannot keep happening Yumi -You have someone? Yumi looked to the nekomimi I was looking at, understanding completely oh I understand you have the little one do you think you love her?
-I am not sure I pointed to Akira I just know I want to take care of her, make she smile and be happy despite this horrible life as a slave she shall live knowing that she is well to me is the biggest happiness I can feel but even if one day I come to love her, I shall only wish something with her when I am sure she loves me back -I understand know that if you give me another chance that shall also be my objective? replied Yumi, also looking at Akira I will just wish for your well being and happiness and I promise that I shall follow what Nina said and think of you as nothing more than a brother, seeing we should never have anything more than that, according to her -Did our beloved Nina really said everything you said she did? I asked, wanting to clear my mind of something that was bothering me you can be honest, I won t be mad at you.
-Yes - Yumi replied nodding to me it even made me become scared when she talked, because a mix of deep sadness and regret were visible on her face when she said those things she then looked then she also said those things to you, sweetie?
-Yes unfortunately yes - I replied also looking down I believe that you don t have a motive to be lying to me right now, that is why I think we should follow her advice and think of each other as family member, right? I then looked at Yumi I promise I will talk to the girl about your case and if they decide to forgive you, I won t have any objections, understood?
-Y yes! Yumi replied nodding and going a little bit in front of me, between the girls and me you want and see I changed.
-Akira-chan Andrade called her, pointing to some wood pieces on the floor a little ahead of them apparently Dawn broke her left leg paw, we need to immobilize it for now, could you go and pick those pieces of wood there so we can make some kind of immobilization?
-Yes! Akira replied and nodded energetically, running at that direction, quickly taking the three pieces of wood from the ground.
-Now I understand the motive you are beginning to like her sweetie Yumi commented, without taking her eyes from the little one she is so sweet, kind, delicate and dedicated.
-Yes you are right - I replied without taking my eyes out of the nekomimi.
-If can t kill you - said a voice we didn t know from where was coming from at least I shall take with me your most precious possession!
-Akira! WATCH OUT! Yumi and Andrade shouted at the same time.
Everything happened very quickly after that, as if it was a blur, the dying Silva had already lifted himself from the ground and was kneeling, in his hand a short sword he probably had hidden, then he threw it in Akira s direction, I tried to run in order to try and push her out of the way, but my feet slipped into a blood puddle there and I ended up losing my balance; the last thing I remember seeing was the little nekomimi that, with huge scared eyes let the woods she was holding fall and scatter around her leg paws, the sword heading directly to the middle of her face, everyone present shouting for her to be careful, and I hit the ground I hear the clear and unmistakable sound of a sword penetrating and staying into the body and, even if I was dead afraid of what I was going to see, I raised my face just to see blood dropping on the woods that were on the ground, near Akira s leg s paws.
