///Melissa POV///
We walked out of the restaurant after we stuffed ourselves with food. We weren’t complaining about it but I saw how Death was still injured. He was limping as we crossed the street as we went to Time Square. To be honest, I have no idea how Death is planning on finding our friends.
“So, how are we gonna find them? You have a plan?” I asked him and he blanked out for a second…he then looks at me with a nervous chuckle.
“I was…uh…I sort of hoped you might know how…” he said and I stared at him in anger. But as usual, I pretended not to be mad and smiled. He knew what I meant by this smile.
“…What was that?” I smiled as I thought of a possible way to punish him.
“H-Hey! Wait up! How about using your Hyper-Sense or something?” he cried out so he wouldn’t get smacked.
“Huh…I guess you saved yourself this time…but here’s the punishment for everything…” I told him as I got closer to him. He tried backing away but I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me.
“What! What do you mean by everything-“I cut him off as I pushed my lips on his lips hard. I was so fucking BOLD to do that, my heart is beating so fast! I pulled away; I felt my cheek heat up. He was blushing as well. People were staring at us but I didn’t care about that.
“M-Melissa…” Death managed to say as I looked away smiling.
“Alright!” I said. I closed my eyes and used my Hyper-Sense. I felt orbs around the area…here in Time Square. I saw three orbs standing together across the street. I opened my eyes to see O’Felia running towards me; she jumped on me in a tight hug.
“MELISSA!!” she yelled happily. She was yelling in my ears…but I didn’t mind, I was glad that she was safe.
“CJ…” Death called out to him as they bumped knuckles together. Zeya jumped on me too in the same old hug. I laughed as she tickled me; I was so happy that she was feeling better. She smiled and mouthed thank you to Death and me.
“You guys ok?” CJ asked us as he placed Death’s arm around his shoulder to help him stand better.
“Yeah…we ran into Pain a moment ago.” Death told him.
“Dead?”
“Dead…” he replied.
“Well…now what-“ I began to asked when…I heard someone call out to me.
“Melissa…” the voice said. I turn around and put myself in front of Death to protect him. I looked at the direction of the voice…only one man, one man was looking at us. He was dressed in all red. His brown hair ran down his neck and stopped to his shoulders. Not only that, he gave me a warm smile. Everyone was ignoring us…but no one was laughing or talking to each other. They were all dead quiet, the cars didn’t move and the people crossed the streets. What was going on?
“Is that…” I heard O’Felia whisper.
“It’s him!” CJ cried out. But it wasn’t of fear…or shock…it was joy?
“Stand back!” I told the man as he walked towards me. But he stopped as I summoned my knife, I made it look normal so no one would suspect. But I was caught off guard as he chuckled.
