Yachi's Older Sister

Eighteen

"Hitoka, shh, it's okay." I whispered as she sobbed then she nodded and calmed down.

"Listen, I'm going to have to do very bad things to get us out. Promise me something." I said as I ungagged her and looked at the others.

"All of you, promise to run if something happens-"

"No, Novalie." Hitoka said and I looked at her.

"You getting out is all I care about, okay? I'm your older sister, I'm supposed to protect you and I will. But I can't do that if I think you will be caught so if something happens and we get separated, promise you won't come back for me." I said and she slowly nodded. I smiled and picked the lock of her chains then did the same for the others as she ungagged them. I got the door open then looked back as they all stood then they nodded and I saw a guard with a gun coming closer.

"Stay." I whispered and went out then jumped on his shoulders, snapping his neck. I grabbed the gun then whistled and they came out of the room as I checked the gun and grabbed his silencer.

"Thanks." I whispered and stripped him of his weapons.

"Nova-"

"Shut up." I snapped at Kageyama then he stopped as I stood and we walked through the old mines, looking for the exit. I killed who knows how many guards before I saw the light of day and we ran but Mina and ten guards blocked us.

"You think I'm gonna let you walk out of here?"

"I had hoped." I said and she laughed then dropped her weapons.

"How about a deal, hmm? We'll hand to hand fight, and if you win, you can all leave. If I win, you will be killed. Not you though, only your friends." She smirked and I threw the gun down. I dropped the daggers and tied my hair into a bun, no hair tie used.

"Deal." I snit and she kicked her heels off. Thank god I had combat boots on.

"No unfair advantages. Guards, don't shoot." Mina said and came towards me then raised her hands.

"Rea-" I throat punched her and she stumbled, my leg knocking her down. I sat on her stomach and punched her face over and over, crying in anger from all the pain she's caused me. When I stopped, her face was beaten in and I had completely split my knuckles open, blood coated my once white shirt, and I felt it on my face.

"I win. Move." I growled and the guards dropped the guns then stumbled into the walls. We all went towards the exit but I took Hinata from Kinoshita and walked out of the mine to see Torono far below.

"We're in the mountains?" Daichi asked and I nodded.

"There should be a river nearby, I can rinse off there." I said and we went down the hill then I set Hinata down as we came on the bank.

"Here." Suga came over and helped me rinse my hands. I smiled softly and he nudged me.

"You know, I can tell what you're thinking. We think you're a killer and a monster now, right?" He said and I forced my head to tell him no.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, you just saved our lives, Novalie." He said and I looked at the others then they smiled.

"We should probably get going. It's a long walk to the town and it's getting dark." Ukai said and I nodded as we stood. I lifted a very weak Hinata then carried him as we walked to the town. When we got there, it was long dark and I saw all of our parents standing outside Coach's shop then Natsu, Hinata's little sister, saw us.

"NOVA!" She screamed and the parents eyed us then mom ran to me and Hitoka.

"My girls!" She cried and held us as Hinata's mom took him.

"We're fine, mom. Just, it's a long story." I said as she held us then she kissed my head.

"Oh my god, I don't care!" She cried and everyone was hugged when a cop came up to me and cuffed me.

"Hey!"

"What're you doing?!"

"She is covered in blood that isn't hers and that boy has been beaten." The cop said and I looked at Hinata, who was beaten pretty bad.

"I didn't hurt him!" I growled and Ukai shoved the cop away before he could take me.

"She fucking saved our lives! That blood is the blood of those who took us and hurt us! If she hadn't killed them, we wouldn't be standing here!" He yelled and mom looked at me.

"Did you kill the people who took you?"

"I had no choice if we wanted to live." I whispered and the sheriff uncuffed me then I stared at him.

"Girl, you're a hero, you aren't some criminal." I smiled then Asahi's mother hugged me and I slowly held her.

"The blo-"

"Is that of a hero." She whispered and I smiled as she held me.

"You saved them, at a price that you had no choice but to pay, so we owe you their lives." She said and Anna and Natsu grabbed my hands.

"Novalie, you're like a superhero!"

"No, a superheroine!" Natsu said and the two girls giggled then I yelped as Asahi hugged me and everyone smiled.

"But, your hands." Mom said and I eyed my knuckles.

"I guess I went over-"

"No, you did what was necessary to save us." Daichi said and I smiled as we all went to the hospital for checkups.
