When we finally stopped running, I took a moment to catch my breath as Shan-yu and the other man surrounded a man who was leaning against a boulder. He was rather large, bulky, dressed in dark green and a funny looking hat.
Next to him was a bald man with small black braids on the back of his head holding onto a bow and arrow.
Next to him were two men who looked similar so I could only assume they were twins. Both were shirtless and had golden hoop earrings in one ear. And both has mustaches. But one was bald and one had a small patch of black hair.
The large man with the hat was breathing heavily and had a hand over his upper arm. Blood was dripping all the way down his fingertips and formed a small puddle on the ground.
"Shinji! What happened?!" Shan-yu growled.
"He tried stealing from a fruit cart boss, I told him it wasn't worth it" said the man with the arrow.
"Shut up Kazuo! Can't you see he's in pain?!" Snapped the bald twin.
The men continued to argue and insult one another, I could see Shan-yu getting more and more angry and annoyed.
Slowly I approached the injured man and asked him to remove his hand so I could inspect his injury.
"It's not to bad, but you're losing a lot of blood. If you'll allow me I can stitch it for you" I explained.
"Who the hell is she?" Asked Kazuo.
"Leave her alone, she can help him" said the man with the long black hair.
Quickly reaching into my bag, I pulled out a cloth, and my needle and thread.
The man grunted in pain as I cleaned and sewed up his wound.
"It may hurt a while but at least you won't be losing anymore blood."
"..Thank you...uh...Ms..."
But before I could say my name Shan-Yu cut me off and pulled me close to him.
"Asteria, that's her name. Asteria you've met Shinji here. This is Haru and Katashi" he said motioning towards the twins. "This is Syaoran" he said introducing me to the man with long black hair.
"And this is Kazuo" he said introducing me to the man with the arrow, who looked annoyed that I was there in the first place.
"Nice to meet all of you" I said with a nervous smile.
"She will be with us for the time being. She saved hybusa from death and now she has saved one of our men. None of you are to harm her! She has great culinary skills and obviously wonderful medical skills as well. You will respect her, is that clear?!"
"Yes sir!" Said all of them together.
"Good, now let's get out of here."
Once again we were on the move. But as we walked I could feel Kazuo glaring at me the entire time.
