(3rd Person's POV)

"What a foolish girl."

Seijuro had to agree. He thought Himeko was crazy, but not once in his mind that she'll risk her life for him.

A trail of blood slides down from the girl's chin as she laid motionless on the frigid floor. Her blood began to flow out from her freshly wound. The red headed child gaped, staring at his cousin with a paled look. At that moment, Seijuro's throat went dry. All he can hear was the loud beating of his own heart.

"Akashi Seijuro."

At the mentioned of his name escaped from that man, the child's eyes turned cold and sharp. "If you don't want to be shot like that, be a good boy and come with me quietly."

Seijuro ignored him and checked her pulse from her left wrist........

"Ah, (censored). She's dead, little boy?"

"...."

The man remembered something and scratched his head, "Crap. Hitsugi won't like this. Well, it's not my fault though, she shielded you by her own will."

He approached them and crouched down, tilting his head at the side with a grin while facing Seijuro's shadowed face. "That's what you get from messing with us."

His hand stretched out to Himeko's body, but before he could touch her, Seijuro smacked it away, holding her closer to him in his arms.

"Hmph. You can cling to that corpse all you want," he leaned into him closely, and with a sinister smile, he added, "... No one will save—"

STAB

"AAAARRGH!!! AAAaaahhh!!"

A blade pierced right through his shoulder. He followed the right hand who held that hidden weapon. He looked at the supposed to be dead girl with horror.

"Y-You little...!"

Himeko said with seriousness, "Now, we're even... mister," she pulled the knife as Seijuro did an upper punch to his jaw. Before the man could collapse on the floor, both children gave him their finishing blow.

Himeko winced, gripping her arm. She glanced at her wound from her shoulder and she almost faint from seeing it. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, "Ugh... Seijuro-san, can you please tie it around my shoulder?"

Seijuro tied it around her injured shoulder to slow down the bleeding.

"Hitsugi-san must've heard that man's scream. Let's run in full speed—Whoa!"

The red headed kid gave her a piggyback ride.

"Seijuro-san?!" Himeko was about to protest but he cutted her off.

"It's fine. You're a slow runner so I'm carrying you. Just hold on tight and endure the pain."

"G-Got it."

In the next second, Seijuro started running as Himeko beared the pain. It's the only way to get to the 1st floor fast. She must endure the pain.

At last, they're in the 1st floor of the old building. Across them, there was a glass door that leads to the outside. Anymore seconds and they'll be—

—BANG!!

A bullet almost hit the boy's right foot.

"Wha—"

They turned around, seeing Hitsugi slowly coming to their direction while pointing a gun at them with a deadly serious look gracing on his face. "Take another step or do anything funny... and I'll shoot one of you."
