Devil from the East

A bad day

Nishada was hit hard from behind, we were attacked as he was taking me home. I see a Asian guy grab Nishada and he raises his fists and punches Nishada hard in the face. Before he could land another punch I jump up and rugby tackle the guy to the ground. Grabbing his hair I lift his head up and slam it into the ground knocking him out.

But I hear a click, two feet away is a third man holding his gun ahead of me, instinctively I hold my hands up in surrender. I hear a gun shoot, and closing my eyes I wait for the pain that dose not come. The guy ahead slumps to his knees, taking his last breath he collapses to the ground, and to the side of me Nishada holding a gun. He quickly grabs me and pulls me to my feet

"We got to move now!" He growls as I'm dragged to a nearby multi story car park. We hide in between two random cars to catch our breath.
"Where did you learn to tackle like that" Nishada pants
"I play rugby with my brothers since I was a kid" I pant back, Nishada takes a quick look out the back of the cars before chuckling at me.

"Who are these guys, friends of yours?" I ask
"Not quiet" he answers, keeping low he signals its safe to move. We quickly move past the cars when another gunshot echos past us, hitting the car beside us. Nishada grabs my hand as we run as fast as we can to a pillar for cover. Nishada holds me close to his chest, I can hear his heart beating so fast.

"Watashi wa anata ga koko ni iru koto o shitte imasu Nishada!" A man yells. Another shot hits the pillar we are hiding behind, dust blasts around us, but Nishada keeps me close.
"Ima wa hontōni warui jikidesu" Nishada yells back, I haven't a clue what's going on.
"Sono shōjo wa daredesu ka?" The man yells, and Nishada grip tightens around me slightly.
"Kanojo wa kore to wa nani no kankei mo arimasen, kanojo o tebanashimasu" Nishada replies

"Can you guys speak English please!" I yell annoyed
"I haven't a clue what's going on" I add before another shot hits the pillar.
"You know my father won't negotiate with you Matsubara! Killing me wont change anything" Nishada yells when he points his gun and shoots randomly at our attacker.

As the attacker dives in between cars Nishada uses the distraction and rushes us through the fire escape. We hurry down the stairs and through some more doors, we end out back outside in an alleyway. Nishada hurries us round a corner where we hide, Nishada again keeps me close to him as we hear the doors bursting open. Our attacker pants before yelling out in frustration
"SHIT" he curses before running off in the other direction.
Nishada and I sigh in relief, and my knees can't hold me up anymore, I fall to the ground.

"Hey are you ok?" Nishada asks crouching next to me
"No im really having a bad day" I scoff wiping my eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. My body begins to shake, Nishada holds me close and begins to rub my back to comfort me.
"It's ok, it's over now" he whispers stroking my head and back, it does make me feel better.

After a while I have gained my composure and pull away from Nishada embrace.
"Thanks" I sniff, giving him a quick grin, Nishada just stares at me for a moment like he wants to devour me and I feel my cheeks burning.
"Who was that guy anyway" I ask nervously and avoid eye contact.
"Just a family rival thing, are you ok Dotty, you look red?" He asks with a huge grin, cupping my face with his big hands after tucking his gun in his pants.

"Erm ...... yeah" I reply drowning in his stare. He leans forward and plants a light kiss on my lips.
"Watashi wa anata ga hoshīdesu" he whispers rubbing his nose on mine
"What?" I whisper back
"Nothing, it's nothing" he clears his throat and lets me go, but I'm curious to what he had just said. It bothers me till a phone starts to ring, we both check our pockets till I'm reminded I don't have my phone as I'm wearing Nishada jacket. I pull out his phone and the name 'Makoto' is displayed.

Nishada walks a short distance away and answers, I hear a frantic woman's voice speaking in his native toung. I see him trying to calm to woman down, maybe it's his wife or mother.....either way it's none of my business. I walk to the end of the alley way to see if the attacker is still around, but there is no sign of him.

Then as I take a look around to see where we are police cars pull up, and Dave pulls up with them with his blues on.
"DOTTY!" He yells running to me and checking me
"What are you doing here?" I ask confused
"Reports of gun shots and civilians, they matched your description on the radio so......what happened?" He ask frantically. I explain everything to him and gave a description of the attacker. When I look for Nishada he was gone.

He left me! I'm slightly annoyed about that but as Dave hurries me into his car I see a figure in the shadows. It was too slim to be Nishada, but he stares at me with such hatred. Dave insists that I go back to the hospital but I just want to go home, I compromise to go back to my parents house.

Inside Jessica with Lewis and Aiden greet me.
"Are you ok" Jessica asks, always dramatically, but I know her heart is in the right place.
"Yeah, just want a shower and go to bed" I reply hugging Lewis as he rushes over.

After my shower, and finally in my own cloths I flop out on my old bed from my childhood. The posters and nick nacks brings back so many memories of my childhood, then my phone buzzes in Nishada jacket pocket.
