Chapter Eleven
TSUCHIYA'S POV
I woke up with a massive headache. When I tried to sit up, someone said, "Don't move. You need to rest."
I look over and noticed Shin. "How did I get here?"
Shin smiled and pointed to my other side. I look over and see Ryu asleep in a chair. Shin said, "He was really worried about you. He found you and brought you here."
I sigh. Ryu begins to stir. When he notices that I am awake, he asks, "What happened?"
I know I have to tell them the truth. "I was following Kimberly. I had noticed that Ichimura and Susan were too busy looking at each other to pay attention to Kimberly yesterday. I'm glad I did. While I was following them, I noticed some guys pointing at Kimberly. They looked like they were up to no good. I got to them before they could even touch Kimberly."
Shin and Ryu nodded in understanding. Ryu said, "We need to tell the others about this."
Ryu started to get up. I grabbed his arm. "Don't, Ryu. I will protect her."
Shin asked, "What if you get hurt again?"
I shrug. "I'm willing to get hurt a hundred times for Kimberly. She doesn't need to worry."
Shin asked, "Don't you want her to know you are saving her?"
I shook my head. "It doesn't matter. After what I said yesterday, she wouldn't believe it. It's better for her not to know."
Ryu and Shin sighed. Shin said, "If that is what you want."
I nod. "Thanks, guys."
