[Kanade pov]
I was checking up on Hajime and Ririka. I was worried about Ririka since she was bleeding out-Hajime can take abuse, but...
The black-haired man with earrings begins to manically scratch his skin, erratically scraping at his flesh with his perfectly trimmed nails. "Gah... this room is filthy!"
He continued scratching his skin.
Is he extremely OCD? A germaphobe?
I cannot guess what is going on in his mind.
"YOU ARE FILTH!"
He let out a primal roar.
I noticed he was practically in a hazmat suit.
I swung my metal pole.
He ducked under it with ease.
A haymaker was thrown towards me.
Thinking quickly, I spit at him.
He jerked his arm away violently.
"Gross...!" He screamed.
The cold metal of the pole hit his head.
"Ahh...ahhh...ahhhh....AAAAAAAUGHHH!"
He screamed like she saw someone being murdered. All that happened was the metal pole touched his exposed skin.
"Wait if you hate germs so much then why don't you have your hands and face covered?"
"Kanade... finish him!" Hajime tells me.
"Oh right...!"
I swung the metal pole, but he caught it.
"YOU FILTHY VERMIN!" He screamed.
"Shi-" He hit me with a simple backhand. Even though it was pretty strong he didn't want to touch me so he barely made contact with me.
"Augh..." I mumble in pain.
Hajime rushed to my side in a panic.
"How is your neck, does it hurt!?"
"...No, it doesn't hurt."
We looked at the man who hit me.
"Filthy...sooo filthy...Urrgh...filthy!!!"
Hajime ran up to him, punting his head.
"That should have done it..."
"Do you realize how filthy shoes are!?"
"They aren't that dirty..."
The man blindly charged Hajime.
I swung the metal pole sideways, bashing it into his ribs. I swear I heard a crunch as he fell to the floor, landing in some blood.
"Kanade listen to me... take Ririka and go."
"Take her and go...?"
"Yes, don't make me repeat myself!"
"-you will be alone!!!"
"Kanade, please!"
Ririka coughed a tiny bit.
"N...no...we will stay..."
We both didn't want her to talk.
"Ririka, you will die; Kanade, you will-"
I interrupt her.
"I will get hurt, but you will help me!"
*Hajime was completely frozen.*
"You and I will protect each other. This isn't about who is stronger or weaker between us... We are girlfriends. We have to protect each other. So please let me stay here!"
"Fine, but Ririka..."
Hajime clearly is worried sick.
Ririka is one of her best friends, if not her best friend in the world, and she is hurt.
Part of why she is so hurt is worrying for her.
Ririka struggled to get to her feet.
"I need to fight..."
Her knees buckled underneath her.
"Don't strain yourself!" Hajime yelled.
She was practically in tears. The most vulnerable state I've seen her in so far.
