Mafia Academy

Chapter 41

KIMONO'S POINT OF VIEW

"I...I'm s-saving you g-guys. M-My friends..." As Stacey said that, she slowly closed her eyes with a smile in her lips.

Then I felt blank. I don't know what to do or what to say, even what to react. I just felt blank. And suddenly my eyes are starting to get hot, and tears are filling it up.

"Stacey..." I said emotionally while looking at her sleeping with such a beautiful face. How can this happen? I don't have any enough strength to say those words. And Ican feel my body slowly loosing its energy, that I can't even stand on my own.

Psyche walked towards me and helped me stand. His eyes were full of different emotions---sadness, anger, and pity---but his whole facial expressions were blank, just like how I'm feeling.

He turned his back on me, facing those seven enemies that are still laughing like a devil.

Anger filled my whole body that made me gain my strength once again. I started running towards them but a hand stopped me, holding my shoulder tightly.

"Kimono," it was Toppo's voice, cracked and downed. "Don't," he added then looked around. That time, I also followed his head. A bunch of enemies are surrounding us. I can't even count how many they are.

Once again, I spare a glance to our friend Stacey, she looked like she was sleeping peacefully. That thought made me cry silently, knowing that she wasn't sleep at all.

"H-How can we---"

"Let's retreat." Just before Jemi finished her sentence, Psyche already stopped her. "We're outnumbered, and we even loosed..." He took a deep breath and added, "Stacey."

"Kimono, Jemi," si Toppo, seryoso ang boses. Walang ganang ibinaling ko ang paningin sa kanya. Pilit siyang ngumiti saka tinanguhan kami. In that way he was comforting us, but he also knew that it won't do anything to us. "You two should go first, and we'll handle this. We'll try to stop them."

"T-That can't be," naluluhang anang ko. "We must go through with this together." Ayokong maiwan sila, hindi pwede. Hindi ko na kaya pang mawalan ng isa pang kaibigan. "Hindi ko kakayanin pang mawalan ng isang kaibigan." Nagpapaintinding sambit ko.

Matapos ang ilang segundong katahimikan, "Yeah. I can't too." Si Psyche saka kami tinalikuran at patakbong sumugod sa mga kalaban! Gano'n din ang ginawa ko at nina Toppo at Jemi!

Ang mga kalaban ay patakbo rin kaming sinugod kaya ngayon ay magsasalubungan kami.

Tatlo ngayon ang kalaban ko. Kaagad akong yumuko nang sinubukang pumalo ng isa. Sinalo ko naman sa palad ko ang pagpalo ng isa. Samantalang nang magbadyang pumalo ang isa pa ay mabilis kong pinagpalit ang pwesto ko sa lalaking hawak-hawak ko ang pamalo, dahilan upang ito ang mataaman niya. Nang mabitawan ng lalaki ang pamalong hawak ko ay saka ko iyon buong pwersang inihawi sa ere at pinalo ang ulo niya. Pabato kong itinapon ang kahoy na sabay sa aking pagikot at pagsipa sa isa pang kalaban.

~DAAAAAAGGGG!!!~

~PAAAAAAAAKKK!!!~

~CRAAAAAAACKKK!!!~

~BLAAAAAAAGGG!!!~

Naging sunod-sunod ang pagsugod ng mga kalaban kaya naman sunod-sunod din ang pagsipa, dagok, suntok, at palo ko sa mga ito.

Nang makita kong may papalo sa likuran ni Jemi ay mabilis akong umagaw ng kahoy mula sa kalaban at batuhin ang ulo niyon.

TUMBA!
