A dark past to a bright future

Chapter 28

Souji (picking Iris's glove up): He said it himself.

Iris: Now I want to punch him.

Souji (passes Iris's glove to her before she puts it on): If you punch the teacher his neck might break.

Iris (smiling): Of course, I'll be holding back.

Souji: Ruby said she'll catch up so we can leave without her.

Iris: Okay.

(Night Street)

Iris (while walking): This is such a nice breeze.

Souji: I still think we should have taken a taxi.

Iris: But I feel fine. (suddenly feel her phone vibrate) Hold on.

Souji (while Iris checks her phone when they stop): Did someone send you a message?

Iris: It's my father.

Souji: Want me to deal with him?

Iris: Just leave it to me. (after answering her phone) Hello.

Iris's dad (from Iris's phone): What's going on? Why am I being kicked out of the house and where's my money?

Iris (voice changed to her main account voice): For now on I won't be giving you any more money and for your first question, Mum gave the house to me after she passed on. I decided to sell the house thanks to a few connections.

Iris's dad: You'll pay for this.

Souji (while Iris put her phone away): You look worried.

Iris (normal voice): He said "You'll pay for this."

Souji (walking with Iris): He must be angry but why didn't you say it was me who sent people to sell your mum's house?

Iris: Because I wanted to leave it a mystery.

While crossing the road a speedy car was driving towards them so when they reached the middle Souji grabbed Iris to cover her having his back towards the car. However, before reaching them a police car crashes into the other car pushing that car away.

(road crossing)

Souji (open his eyes after hearing something crash): We're alive.

Souji's dad (from a distance while running over): Souji.

Souji (looks to the side): What are you doing here Dad?

Souji's dad (stands near Souji after he stops running): We followed Iris's dad after he entered his car.

Souji (shock while loosening his grip): So the person who was trying to hit us was...

Iris (scared while grabbing Souji's hoodie): He was actually going to kill me.

Souji (eyes dim and his tone changes after touching Iris's hand): Dad take Iris somewhere safe.

Souji's dad (when Souji turns around): Souji.

Iris's dad kicks the car door open while Souji walks towards him at the same time unzips the sword bag to take out his katana. After he got out of the car Souji charged ahead unsheathing his katana and about to unleash a slash but when Iris's dad turned his head a person stood in between them. The person quickly unsheathes their dagger katanas having one block Souji's attack while their other dagger is near Iris's dad's neck.

Ruby (her two dagger katanas have silver blades, a red handle with white inside, and on her back hip is a red sheath with mini multiple stars): What do you think you're doing?

Souji: You know exactly what I'm doing. He's not allowed to be alive.

Ruby: I saw what happened but you suddenly reacting like this will scare (shock seeing someone walk over) Iris.

Iris (touch Souji hand): Souji please.

Souji (eyes normal while sheathing his katana): Forgive me.

Ruby (look at two policemen after she sheath one of her daggers): Can I leave him to you?

Policeman one (while policeman two arrests Iris's dad): Yes. (saluting) Thank you for your assistance.

Souji dad's (after walking to them): Ruby can you take Iris to the car. I need to talk to Souji alone.

Ruby (sheath her other dagger): Okay.

Souji's dad (stands near Souji after Ruby takes Iris way): You okay?

Souji (putting his katana in the sword bag): Sorry about that.

Souji's dad: Want to talk about it?

Souji (put the sword bag on his shoulder after closing the zip): If you saw her face she was white as a ghost.

Souji's dad: If you didn't make a move I would have run over and pointed my gun to his head after pinning him to the ground.
