Shall We Date Ninja Love

Chapter Fourteen - Savin You

Narrated by Aki

Kotaro: GET DOWN!

BAM! 

Aki: AH!

The boat shook violently. Kotaro help me close as he was trying to keep us from falling into the river.

Aki: What was that?!

Kotaro: The Hachisuka are shooting at us with a cannon!

Aki: Are you serious?!

Chief: Ah hah! Gave you a little scare didn't I?!

The Hachisuka are approaching us on a huge boat!

Kotaro: Nobunaga must have set them up with a boat.

Kotaro readies his gun and returns fire!

BANG BANG!

Chief: Ha ha! That little gun won't scratch this boat!

BOOM!

Aki: Ahhh!

Kotaro: PRINCESS! Grab onto the boat!

Kotaro suddenly throws a hand into the air!

Kotaro: Cyclone!

Whoosh!

The water of the river rises into the air like a dragon!

Chief: Ahh!

The Hachisuka leader is lifted into the air!

Ninja: Sir!

Chief: You can control water too?!

Kotaro points his gun at their leader and pulls the trigger!

BANG!

Chief: AHHH!

The bullet shoots through his chest. Just then,

BOOM!

The boat rocks violently, but this time I topple into the river!

Aki: AHHH!

Kotaro: PRINCESS!

Before I blank out I watched as Kotaro drove into the river after my lifeless body.

SPLASH!

I came back into reality. Kotaro was holding me close, and we were floating slowly on a plank of wood.

Aki: Ugh! Cough!

Kotaro: …! Are you awake?

Aki: Where are we?

Kotaro: The boat was destroyed. This is all that's left.

Aki: What about the Hachisuka?

Kotaro: They lost their leader and left certainly they think they won.

Aki: Did you save me?

Kotaro: …

Aki: You're always saving me. I'm such a hassle.

Kotaro is still holding me so close. Even now that I'm awake he holds me to protect me…

Kotaro: Ugh…

Aki: Is this blood?

There is blood coming from Kotaro's back!

Kotaro: I hit a rock when I was thrown from the boat.

Aki: You mean you hurt yourself saving me?!

Kotaro: …

I rip a piece of my kimono off to stop the blood.
