"1 ... 2... 3... "

" Shock"

" 1...2...3..."

" Shock"

His chest started to heave after what seemed like an hour.  I pried my closed eyes open, tears started to fill my eyes with each rise and fall of his chest.

The dull ache within my chest returned, I felt the air being sucked out of myself, my heart rate increasing exponentially by the second. I gripped the support beside the patient bed.

My clenched fist tightened, I shifted my trembling gaze upwards.

It was unreal, the silver-haired bedridden man with at least 20 medical wires attached to his body had finally showed... signs of a life body after 9 months, ever since that day...

" Ka.. Kasumi ... "

The soft, nostalgic voice caused my head to buck up immediately, chills running down my spine as I felt the desperate longing for his voice.

My heart jumped as he uttered my name. My eyes widened in disbelief.
-----------------------
Flashback start:
" Get away from me, freaks! "

I shouted, pushing my way through the endless thick branches and trees. I barely managed to dodge a kunai flying inches from my face as it striked a bamboo shoot and split it into two.

My heart thumped wildly.

Was I going to die?
This young?

I shrugged off the thoughts and crouched behind a bush, hoping my small physique would help conceal my presence.

I heard the grass rattle behind me, footsteps inching closer.

I closed my eyes, bracing for the worst as my tiny palms clutched my sole weapon---- my kunai within my clammy palms.

" HAHAHa where are you cute puppy?? "

The evil snicker caused chills to run down my spine. I gulped and prepared to fight off the impending doom.

" Don't worry, honey. I won't hurt you, I promisee! "

The emphasis on the last word had caused yet another wave of chills to engulf me.

I shuddered.

" Psstt, here! "

I flinched and turned towards the direction of this new voice.

A boy, with surprising silver hair that seemed to defy gravity stood behind a thick tree, his hands still nonchalantly stuffed in his pockets.

I couldn't see his face clearly because of his mask which covered everything on his face except for his one eye.

I raised a confused brow, just as the boy started sprinting towards my direction, throwing me off guard.

" Get up if you still want to live!"

He exclaimed, a degree of irritation present in his young voice.

I quickly snapped out of my gaze and stood up, just in time to see the young boy deflect a kunai perfectly with the most precision I had ever seen, as it went flying into another tree.

He backflipped, dodging a punch from the bullies with ease. The 3 bullies soon found us and started attacking consecutively, throwing punches and kicks at my new, idol.

I gaped in amusement, at how effortless the young boy was defending the attacks of 3.

He finally delivered a deafening flying kick to the bully in front, as he collapsed onto the other two, knocking the wind out of the 3 of them.

My eyes sparkled in amazement, as he simply dusted his hands and turned to me.

" What are those bullies doing to you ? Why are they after you? "

He questioned with annoyance.

" I... I... "

I was at a loss for words, everything had happened in a blink of an eye.

I was saved... for the first time.

The young boy sighed.

"Never mind, don't tell me. I actually don't want to know. "

He shrugged and turned around to leave.

" Wait!"

I managed to shout, surprising myself.

He cocked his head around with his sole brow raised slightly, his eye simply, lazy.

" Hm?"

He questioned.

" I .. UHH.. I'm ... Arigato! "

I managed to sputter out a thank you.  

" Oh... you're welcome. "

He shrugged yet again, his lazy glazed eyes showed a tinge of warmth for a second before they all dissipated the next.

He turned back and walked off.

" Wait! "

I called out again, remembering that I had forgot to ask for my Saviour's name, but it had been a little too late. He had vanished in just a second.

He's fast,
I thought.
