The Strong and The Weak
Chapter 5 : It's A Deliveryー
Haruna woke up very uncomfortably. She didn't wake up in her bed; in fact she was still dressed in her school uniform and slumped up against the door. She took the bag beside her and brought it onto her lap; taking out a dark blue PDA. She tapped the screen and read the time.
"It's already time for school." She groaned,"Here we go."
The moment she stood up, she heard a small knock on the door. She shut her phone and slipped it back into the one of the pockets of her hand bag. Quickly, she fixed up her appearance and moved her hair over one shoulder before facing the door and standing up on her toes; placing her eye over the tiny glass peephole at the top of her door.
There was no one.
"What kind of prank is this?" Haruna sighed with annoyance. The girl started to remove her shoes when she heard another louder set of knocking. It seemed a bit frantic.
"Its not a prank." A boy replied back. It seemed almost frantic. She looked through the glass hole again and still no one was there to see.
"Okay. Really?" She hissed loudly with agitation, "If this is a delivery, you better say it now…!"
"I-It's a delivery." A different, deeper voice from an older man replied this time.
Haruna decided to play it safe and planned to let this 'delivery' come in without opening the door to these two strangers.
"Hm. Well then, please leave it at the door. I'll get to it later."
The boy's voice reached her ear again, "It requires a signature!"
Her suspicions piled up even more and she decided to ask one more question, "Say, which company do you guys work for? Shizume Express? *SPS?"
The girl heard an aggravated breath from the boy behind the door and a series of loud pounds began to strike the threshold. Immediately, she turned her head to the door and for a second she believed she saw the closed entryway shake with each violent thump.
The low voice addressed someone else desperately,"O-Oi, Yata-san! Please calm down! We planned on carrying this out without any-"
More shuffling was heard with a grunt of pain."Shut up, Fatty!"
This Yata-san shouted loudly, "Listen up," He addressed Haruna behind the door,"You really want to know what company we work for?
Quickly, she swiftly slipped her shoes back on and collected her bag. It can't be another pervert rapist.
"I don't have the energy to deal with this now."
The school girl tapped the screen of her PDA again and checked the time,"I don't even have time for this either...!" She hissed.
"We're from HOMRA!"
Shit.
"So if you don't want this building to burn down," He threatened,"I suggest you open this god damn door."
"Why me," She complained out loud,"Of all people?!" She snapped her head around and shouted at the door,"Well, you can come back later, but the 'god damn door' will never open as long as you're around!"
"Eh? What was that now?" He asked,"So you want us to open it, huh?" The sound of cracking knuckles were heard,"That could be arranged! I'll count to five, okay?"
Was this guy deaf?! Haruna removed the spare ponytail around her wrist and tied her hair up as Yata-san began to count,
"One-"
She swung her bag over her shoulder.
"Two-"
And placed her hand over the doorknob.
"Thr-"
Now.
Haruna turned the knob and slammed the door open with all her might. However, the only thing that the door collided with was the wall when it swung open as wide as it could go. She looked to her left and right, but no one was here. Suddenly, from behind the door, a heavy man emerged and gave a quick, hard punch to her stomach.
"Ah..."
Everything happened in slow motion. Was this... pain she was feeling? Before she could even reach a conclusion, she fell into a pair of arms.
"I-Its a girl!"
Yata-san ran over to the overweight man's side. Haruna weakly settled her eyes onto the shorter boy; even with her failing eyesight she could see his face beginning to burn up to the color of the red sweater that was tied around his waist. Clutching her stomach, she slowly sank to the ground; her knees giving up to the ground.
"Can you be any more stupid?!" He yelled,"Shit! She's already collapsed on the ground, fatty! Now look what you've done-"
Fatty shook his head furiously and waved his hands out in front of him,"I-I didn't know! W-We didn't know...!"
She watched the boy continue to chew out the other man. Soon, their forms were beginning to blur together and her amber eyes began to flutter close.
"You guys..." She breathed out painfully. In instant, they grew quiet and she felt their eyes fall on her through her closed eyelids as she continued to wheeze,
"I... can't believe-"
The schoolgirl drew in more painful breaths,
"Y-You have the nerve... to h-hit a girl like that...! Have you... no shame...?"
And so for the second time already, she lost consciousness.
A/N: Gosh, the things I'm making Haruna go through.
What did 'Fatty' and 'Yata-san' even want from her?
You'll probably find out next chapter.
Why am I updating so fast?
At my high school its thee wonderful week long Spring Break.
Which means FREE TIME.
Wondering where 'Sashimi' is? He'll come back... Even if he doesn't like that idea. I'm such a cruel person. Hahaha.
