"EH? WHAT THE HELL?" There was a familiar voice in the moments of desperation.
The man that's harassing me doesn't bother to look over at Megumi. Instead, he grabs a handful of my hair trying to get more control over me.
It was difficult to attack the man back being that we were being tossed around the crowd. Regardless, I'm able to attack the man in his eyes with my middle and pointer finger.
During my defense, Megumi darts through the crowd over to us. He snatches the man from the back of his neck off of me. I'm taken aback by how easily he did it. As if super strength was on his side.
"What bastard takes advantage of a girl in the middle of a crisis?" Megumi punches the man then throws him to the ground.
Within a few seconds, he tugs on my elbow and guides me through the people. "Fushiguro, are those things here?" my voice was low so only he could hear. We make it outside. "Leave it be Dojii," he was going to walk away but I ran in front of him.
"Uh, uh, pretty boy. You gotta tell me what the hell is mothafuckin going on and fast."
He blinks at the aggression of the last few words. Though he snaps out of it and groans in annoyance. His body stands closer in front of mine, "Listen, I'll come to your house tonight and tell you in person but I need to go." I don't say anything but look toward the ground. Unknowingly I was hugging myself.
I'm scared.
I guess he's picked up on this because he hasn't moved from his spot. Even though I'm positive, he has to return to that building. Fushiguro has to face the danger and protect us all.
"I pinky promise." The boys' eyebrows furrow. He had a certain look of determination on his face. Looking from his pinky to his face I take his pinky and hook it with mine. Strangely, this childish act of trust gave me comfort. I think he understands that.
After the pinky promise, he rushes into the building. Fast.
I turn to watch him go. A little, tiny, teeny, ity bity, tug of anxiety pulls on my heart. As if I'm worried for him.
I don't even know the kid. He'll be fine. I know he'll be fine.
"Dojii!" Eito runs up from behind me. He scans over my body hoping an injury doesn't appear. "Are you okay? I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean for me to leave you."
