Chapter 17: How those eyes Capture.

The day seemed to be going well so far.
Sayu had faith that Mello and Maria we're having fun, and that alone only brightened Sayu's day even more. Sayu had prepared the living room table with delightful treats, and tea for her friend Rose who was coming over to visit for a bit. How Sayu will soon have to dread her best friend's questioning. The thought made Sayu pout a bit, but regardless; she shall put up with it, and receive her friend. Stepping out for her daily jog; Sayu did so; knowing she had enough time. Doing her stretching outside, she looked behind, feeling as thought a pair of eyes we're behind her. Ignoring it, she began her exercise. Victory being left behind home to guard began to bark at nothing but air. Sayu quickened her pace, a bit of sweat trailing down her neck into her sweatshirt. Behind her; she could still feel the eyes, and indeed there where eyes. Eyes that within time had darkened into a red blood like color. These particular pair of eyes had been watching for quite awhile. Keeping watch of several things. Things that began to bother this individual. Then out of no where, came swiftly the moment of some other; second individual trying to take advantage of Sayu; who fell onto the ground. Gasping for air, acting quickly she struggled under the attacker who had her pinned down. The attacker twice Sayu's size desperately tried robbing her of anything worth something. Since she had nothing of value on her, the attacker proceeded to place his hands onto her neck. He would kill her to keep her quiet, but the attempt did not last for long. Because the third person watching her took action right away. With a bullet to the shoulder; the attacker clenched to the new found pain. Receiving two more bullet wounds to the legs for trying to escape.

"That will teach you to not mess with someone not of your size." Stated the cocky red head Sayu happened to recognize right away. Being none other then Matt himself.

The guy still screaming in pain caught the attention of several passerby's, who quickly assisted with the problem. The police arrived to take the fool away, nodding to Matt who contacted those he did know to take care of the rest. A trembling Sayu soon had calmed down; due to a strong arm around her; Matt. Sayu received the affection, giving her's back. Trying to be strong all the while; trying not to cry. She soon could not help, but to smile, as Matt gave her several kisses on the forehead.

"Thank you Matt... Your a life savior." Sayu whispered into his neck, in which made Matt blush further by this sudden touch.

He brushed his hand against her soft hair; reassuring her; "Don't mention it..."

The sirens soon disappearing, Matt took Sayu into Matsuda's rented car to take her back home.

Not the third, or the second, but the first. Those red bloody eyes... Refrained from writing any names so far. She was saved by Matt, and that is all that mattered to the red eyes.

Arriving, Matt escorted Sayu out of the car, and towards her home. Sayu soon realizing the look on her best friend's face, the look of sheer joy in her gleaming eyes, made Sayu look away. Trying to avoid questioning as to why she was with Matt at the moment; who brought her in, and sat her down in her couches. Placing a kiss on her cheek this time. Her best friend not missing a moment of it. Making Sayu more annoyed.

"I'll call you once I arrive to my place. I want to make sure your safe Sayu." Matt declared.

"It's okay..." Sayu responded.

"That's not going to make me change my mined. I'll call you. Stay safe." Matt said, checking the door for any signs of suspicious attempts.

"Okay! Bye Matty! Have a nice day!" Said Rose; delighted by everything witnessed.

Sayu being not to pleased by anything at the moment; accept Matt's affection; which she only thought to herself, took a drink of the tea she had made, served quickly by Rose.

"Well...?" Rose questioned.

Sayu sighed, taking a sip of her tea, before saying anything...

During all the talking, those red, bloody eyes kept on looking. Meanwhile during Matt's quick return, he could not help feeling a bit jealous of Sidoh taking over his games, while a poor Matsuda observed the floating game controls in fear.

Well, that's it. ^^ I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day yesterday. *hugs* lol... BTW, does anyone feel like this is something out of "Jeepers Creepers"? Because that is what I felt about it while writing it, but it's totally Vise Versa... XD I swear!
