The Second Body Guard || Old Version (Any X Oc)

Chapter 57

"This is not how I planned this to go..." I grumbled.

I had made it to a village down the track, it was quite well off, known for it's musical instruments. But Yona's group had caught up, split up and went searching for me. Kija was the one to find me, and he was currently carrying me back, holding me within his dragons claw.

"Look, Kija. It's great to see you again, I really missed you. But could you please put me down? You underestimate your strength" I begged.

"Princess told me to use all means to get you back. Even that annoying man warned me that you would trick me. I am not failing them" He said, determination covering his expression.

But also... Sadness?

He had a wistful expression, and it hit me just how much I had hurt these people. They where beginning to put their full trust in me, starting to learn more about me, then I had come in with that and left. Every second since then, I have regretted confessing my concerns. I wanted to trust them with every fiber of my body, but my cold unforgiving past made me cautious. Now with these people, I was terrified. 

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash in the shadows and I instantly grabbed Kija's hand, trembling. He frowned at me, confused.

"Azumi?" He asked, confused.

"K-Kija, can you put me down. Please?" I asked, my eyes never leaving the place where the shadow had been.

"If this is-" He began.

"This isn't" I cut him off. He lowered me to the ground cautiously, still ready to grab me. I unsheathed my sword, taking a deep shaky breath. I then moved back to back with Kija and his eyes went wide.

"Do you have my back?" I asked, seeing the figure appear before me.

"Of course" he responded, his face becoming angrier as he turned to the men in front of him. We where surrounded by a large amount of men, all of them familiar, and all glaring at me. 

"Azumi, we meet again" A cold voice chuckled. My breath hitched and my eyes went wide and as I looked to my right. The leader stood there, the real him. Soo-won hadn't killed him!?

"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly, but my fear was evident in my tone.

"I came here for you of course" He chuckled, striding closer. I moved into a defensive position.

"Come on, you struggled to defend your self with both of your hands. You think you have a chance now?" He laughed.

"What is he talking about?" Kija asked me, shocked. I gritted my teeth.

"Ooh, what a pretty companion you have. A nice accent too" He chuckled.

"Don't touch him" I spat. Kija glanced over his shoulder at me, wide eyed.

"A lover maybe?" He asked. Kija now turned bright red and began stuttering. I continued to glare at him, not responding.

"Sorry, I've already claimed her" A familiar voice chuckled. My eyes went wide as Jae-ha lifted both Kija and I up, suddenly leaping up high into the air.

"What? How is that possible!?" The leader cried.

"J-Jae-ha..." I muttered, my eyes going wide as I stared at him.

"Miss me?" He smirked, winking at me. We landed in the camp and he let both of us down.

"You fool!" I cried.

"That's not what I was expecting" he said, blinking in surprise. Everyone turned to us. I grabbed my hair, my eyes going wide slightly. I began to ramble about what he would do if he realized how special the four where, and how he would delight in having all of them under his attention just because I was there. I suddenly felt arms around me and I froze, my eyes going even wider as I glanced down to find Zeno hugging me.
