Bully
She stared at the short figure in front of her, his eyes blazing with a fierce determination. The sharp jerk on her hand shot pain throughout her body, causing her to cry out.
"Stop hurting her," came the command. His eyes smothered, turning into a burnt-orange with sharp steeliness. Next to her, mocking laughter rang out. "Or what? You'll defeat us?" The bully curved his lips up in a mocking smirk and tugged on the short hair, "brat, you can't do anything."
The pain was unbearable to her small, fragile, seven-year old body. She couldn't move, couldn't do anything but cry out in pain. Yet, the small boy in front of her stared at her reassuringly. "Don't worry," his eyes seemed to say, "I'll definitely save you." And she found it hard to believe otherwise, even in the situation she was currently in.
All of the sudden, the pressure on her arm decreased. She caught a glimpse of silver in the corner of her eye before she was once again tugged. This time, however, the tug was gentle and she found herself falling into a warm body as arms surrounded her soothingly.
Tsuna looked down at the girl in his arms and felt a sigh of relief when the pained look no longer sat on her face. It didn't suit her. Not her. Not anyone. He looked over at the piled bodies and hugged the girl tighter before turning to the person next to him.
"Thank you, Kyo-kun."
When she came to again, she felt the prickly grass in her back and a soothing sensation on her forehead. She sat up in confusion, and a handkerchief fell to the ground with a slight thud.
"Are you ok?" She turned at the sound, her heart beating irregularly at the thought of being caught by the bullies again before she caught sight of the familiar orange eyes. The eyes that held her so gently before she passed out. A hand reached out and gently placed itself ontop of hers. She didn't remember the last time she felt such comfort, but she found herself unwilling to let go of the hands she just met recently. She placed her other hand ontop of his and squeezed tightly.
"My name is Kyoko. Can we be friends?"
Note: Ahhhh, sorry for the long wait! I've been so caught up with life that I haven't had time to write this. There's also been like, three different versions of this and I am not quite satisfied with any of the versions. This one might be a little weird because it switches between Tsuna and Kyoko's POV.
Thank you for reading! Please review and let me know your thoughts! I love hearing from you guys (:
