Daggers of love

chapter 32

The floor was cold, hard and over all uncomfortable. Given my rather showy apparel, warmth wasn't something I had the luxury of experiencing. After a little while I became semi-conscious, eyes still closed and head still pounding, but thoughts in action and nerves still working.

While in this state I became aware of my body moving, though my mind wasn't thinking straight. I felt as I was pulled up onto something, something warm. This something had the smell of ash and sweat, mixed in with some deodorant and the faint trace of blood. It was comforting, but gone too soon. After a hug and what I can only assume was a kiss planted on my forehead, I was put back on the cold surface of the floor. the warmth and comfort leaving me just as quickly as it came.

Soon enough I felt hands on my shoulders, lightly shaking me. I can hear words being spoken, muffled but becoming clearer as they keep going. I think I'm waking up, regaining consciousness.

"y/n." I hear from above me, "y/n wake up, come on." It continues, "please be ok" eventually I open my eyes. A sigh of relief being heard as my eyes adjust to the light.

"Marcus?" I ask, head still pounding.

"Come on, we need to go." He urges, grabbing my arms carefully.

"Give me a sec, Jesus." Finally, my eyes adjust completely, a frightened Marcus appearing Infront of me. I didn't bother to look for injuries or anything of the sort, I just got up. I knew Saya was still in trouble, and as much as I wanted to let her die, for Marcus's sake I wouldn't let that happen. Without looking at him, I grabbed Marcus's hand and pulled him along.

We followed the path that we saw the men take, honestly my mind was blank at this point. Not much registered in my head other than I'm probably going to die. I paid no attention to our journey, well that was until we reached the detention room. Petra and viktors where there on the ground, I couldn't tell if they were passed out or dead but I could see they where suspiciously close to each other. After the quick assessment of the room, I pulled Marcus along, out the door and through the hall ways. Once we make it closer to the school's exit, we begin a slow run, eventually quickening the pace once I let go of his hand.

we slow down, watching as the men walk though the exit, making their way into the decoy diner. Stealthily, I creep up the stairs, Marcus behind me. making sure not to draw any attention to us. Once inside I notice a cooking knife on the ground, close to where the chef would be stationed, how did those idiots miss this? Without thinking I grab it, causing Marcus to pout at me angrily. Before he could do anything else I reach over and grab a frying pan that wasn't to far away, handing it to him. He seemed to be satisfied with his makeshift weapon.

We continue to tail the guys, watching as they casually walked through the diner as if they didn't just slaughter three teens, a fuck ton of monks and countless other people stationed at the decoy diner. I watched them walk, face blank while I thought of ways to attack, that was until they just stopped. Both of them. they stopped in their tracks, only moving to retrieve weapons and space out. I think someone else is here. I continued to watch them, confused as to why they stopped, after a few seconds of this I decided to turn to Marcus, but it was already too late.

Before I could turn around, Marcus leaped from his hiding spot and ran up the diner booths. Jumping down and smashing the red Oni mask guy in the head with the frying pan, causing the man to fall to the ground, dropping Saya in the process. However, rather than an unconscious body falling to the floor, as Saya fell she turned and scrambled to her katana.

The man in the red Oni mask got up quickly, grabbing what looked to be a harpoon. He opposed the now armed Saya, ready to fight. I got up from my spot, looking towards the exit, the mystery person now revealed, it was master lin. I would have stayed and watched but it looked like he was having some issues with the other guy, my turn to step in, I guess.

Moving quickly, I make my way over to master Lin, a sword in his grasp as he swings at the black masked Oni man. Cooking knife in hand I come up behind the man, master Lin giving me away with a singular look. Unwillingly compromising my position. The Oni masked man turns around, kicking me in the stomach before spinning back around to block an attack from master lin. I get up almost imminently, ignoring the pain I felt in my abdomen.

Using the handle of the knife, I hit the guy on a pressure point located on his back. stiffening slightly before spinning around yet again, attempting to strike me with whatever weapon he had in his hands. his attempt failed and ended with us actually switching sides. Now faced with a two vs one head on battle. Master Lin and I didn't hold back, swinging each of our weapons viciously at the masked attacker. It was hard wielding this kitchen knife; I wish I had my daggers. Wait a sec.

"Hey lin." I start, still attempting to strike our opponent. "I know this might be a bad time—"

"Not now y/n." he interrupted, getting more and more frustrated.

"Fine, I'll just tell my parents you lost my daggers." I stopped fighting, backing away to watch him fight on his own.

"What are you doing?!" he questioned.

"I'm not helping till I either get them back or know where they are." I watch him, a blank serious look adorned my face.

"You cannot be serious" he struggled out, desperately dodging the masked mans attacks.

"I mean it old man." I spat harshly.

"Fine. They're in my office"

"See, that wasn't so hard." Moving quickly, I pounced forward, kicking the Oni masked man, causing him to fall back. in almost an instant I grabbed the sword master Lin had in his hand, going full throttle on the attacker. He managed to block them, expecting my attacks to form a pattern. Rather than going in for another attack, I looped the sword through his barricade, spinning it slightly, propelling one of his weapons out of his hand and into a wall.

Lin picked up the kitchen knife, throwing it at the attacker before blatantly missing. Absolutely pathetic. with a sigh I decided the old man needed this weapon more than I did, so I decided to give it back. weaving around the guy I make my way towards where the knife was thrown, finding it almost immediately.

Before I could pick it up, I felt an arm grab my waist. The arm was harsh and definitely not friendly, the fingers dug into my naked skin, probably attempting to break something. I know for a fact it was the Oni masked man. I freaked; I didn't like being touched so aggressively in such a skimpy outfit. I will admit, I was not dressed for the occasion. The man tried to pull be back, but before he could take me any further Lin jumped on his back, causing the man to let me go. I rushed to get the knife, turning around and chucking Lin his sword back.

I would say that I kept fighting after that but two things happened. One, I was struck in the stomach with a blade. It wasn't too deep to kill me but it wasn't shallow enough to not cause excruciating pain.

The second thing caused me to freeze in place. It was Saya and Marcus. Marcus was holding the red Oni masked man while Saya... had her sword pierced through the man's chest. Monks suddenly marched into the room, but I paid no attention to them, my eyes stayed on Saya. The Oni masked man threw his final weapon at master Lin then ran out of the diner, but I didn't care.

I ran over to Saya, holding my side. Watching as she pulled her katana out of the man's chest, Marcus letting go of the man as he fell to the floor, dead.

"Saya" I spoke. she ignored me, moving closer to the dead man's body, lifting off his mask to reveal his true identity. I watched as she stared at his face, it meant nothing to me but it obviously meant something to her. I couldn't watch any longer, my instincts kicked in and I pretty much pounced on her. Pulling her into a hug, placing her head on my shoulder as I stroked her head. her entire form was shaking, her eyes though trying not to cry dampened my shoulder.
