5th CHAPTER

My face tensed as I aimed. The 3rd year only laughed along with his other gang members. I let out a hiss. These jerks should be put to sleep. Arrows were still arrows. They can't knock big guys out. That's why I have to be careful. I cursed. What a good way to start a weekday morning.

"Back off," I said, threatening the leader of the gang.

"Or what? Skewer us? Aren't those a little blunt to be arrows? Idiot!"

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up…,"

"Little girls like you should be thought manners. Doesn't your mother ever teach you that? Wait a minute…YOU DON"T HAVE ONE!"

Laughter soon burst out from every one of them. I tried my best to stay as calm as possible. But I knew my hands were trembling. "Don't let them get to you," I told myself.

"She's probably a daughter of some prostitute here," another said. It was not true. I knew it wasn't…

"SHUT UP!" I screamed.

"Yeah, no wonder she acts like a slut. Didn't Hajime tasted good yesterday, huh?" he sneered as he walked forward.

My heart stopped. Someone saw us?

At that moment, I just snapped. It was as if all the rage that had been bottled up inside me for the past few years just broke loose. With that I let the arrow go.

Thuarp!

The 3rd year screamed in agony as the arrow pierced through his right thigh, sending blood splattering all over the ground. He then collapsed onto the ground in pain. The others charged at me at once. Quickly, I readied 2 arrows, preparing to shoot. I dodged a few of their punches before I released. It was a perfect aim; an arrow on each man's foot, making them immobile.

"YOU BITCH!" One of the men shouted, as he did a kick from behind. My eyes widened as I tried to duck in time. Too late, I was sent flying until I crashed onto a wall. I gasped. Pain soon jolted in my whole body, but I fought back a scream. 2 more men lunged at me. But I managed to get my Yumi in time to attack. Two arrows then came flying; piercing into their bodies.

I panted. It was a matter of time, when all of them stopped yelling. They probably passed out due to the pain or excessive bleeding. Neh, I doubt they'll die.

I sighed. I needed to get out of here. Staggering as I got up, I then walked over to each of the men to collect my arrows. Ripping them out, I could see blood splattering my clothes. Truth to be told, I could feel myself tremble. Whether it was the fear of being caught or the sight of blood, I wasn't sure. All I knew was I should have done something to prevent this. But they deserved this, didn't they?

They deserved it all right. But doing this does not make me better than any of them.

POV: Oga

He was astonished by how easily Kame took the 6 seniors down. It only took her a minute or two. He along with Furuichi was hiding inside one of the nearby classrooms, peeking out of the classroom door. Blood covered the halls but she seemed to show no pity or even mercy for them. But what could she do? She was just a girl. She needed to protect herself.

But still…I have never seen her like this….

Once she was gone, he took a glance at Furuichi. He was flabbergasted. But in a different way.

"Amazing! No wonder she is always called Archer by the seniors," Furuichi burst out.

Berubo only watched in interest at the scence. "Gah, gah, gahh!" Berubo shouted, excitedly.

Man…Even Berubo agrees with him…..

"Archer?" Oga questioned, clearly never heard of her nickname before.

"Huh? Didn't you know? She used to be called that a lot around here. I heard she was national champion once when she was in middle school,"

"National champion? Is she even allowed to play at that age?"

"Well, at least that's what I heard…But something happened after that…,"

"Something happened?"

"I'm not sure exactly what took place but I heard she got into trouble in her old school,"

"So?" Oga asked earning an annoyed look from Furuichi.

'Fools like him are just looking for trouble', Furuichi muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes.

"SO…That's how she got eliminated from the Nationals as well as why she got transferred to this school," Furuichi ended his speech.

Berubo giggled as he clapped. Is it me, or is this baby enjoying all this…..

Oga narrowed his eyes.

There was silence between both of them before Oga decides to break it.

"She never told me any of this before…,"

Furuichi raised a brow. "Seriously? What was she like when you guys…um…used to be together?"

Oga was then taken aback by that question. His frown deepened.

"Honestly, I don't know anymore…,"
