Kill You

chapter 14

"UNTIL THE RIGHTFUL HEIR CLAIM HER THRONE"

[AUTHOR]

-Along a discrete street down in Tokyo-

The streets were empty. Although there were a lot of residences staying in the neighbourhood, it has been months since this neighbourhood has been out and about; enjoying the busy streets and beautiful lights, having a cup of noodles at any convenient stores as any typical Japanese would. This is because a curfew has been set and punishment has been carried forward. Any person seen out at night will be dealt with and has to face the consequences. 

That night was dead silent. Even the birds knew that it was too dangerous out and about that they wouldn't and didn't make a single chip. Unfortunate enough for the pair of siblings that was walking at the side of the street, they came across the thugs that has enforced this treachery.

"Look what we have here,"

One of the guys smirked at the brother who stood at the front of the little girl, "You don't need to protect me, brother. We protect each other..." The little girl held the brother's hands and move forward to stand at his side.

"Aww, so cute," He let out a chuckle and as if that serves as permission, the rest of his minions began to burst into waves of laughters. The laughter then stops as soon as he glared at one of them, who raised his hands as a sign for everyone to stop. He then glanced over to look at him then back at her before the smirk on his face turned into something ever so frightening, "Take her away."

"Brother! Brother!!"

The louder she shouted, the more violent they treated her as they dragged her across the street. "You can shout all you want, but trust me no one is coming out to get you." And he was right. Although people were looking through their blinds at the loud commotion down the street, no one, absolutely no one had the guts to come out and at least... Save the little helpless girl. The guy slapped her across the face and held her against the wall. Soon all of the guys went silent once more as the leader walked through the crowd of thugs and wrapped his hands around her neck, choking her.

"Take your filthy hands off her!" Her brother gathered what was left of his energy before shouting with all his might, trying to get out of the grip only to earn him a couple more punches and kicks in the face. The grip around him finally loosen, only to result in him falling face flat onto the ground, all bruised and already puking blood.

"What? Take her clothes off her?" The leader chuckled and lifted her off the floor, "Sure." But before he could even put his hands on her, his right-hand man had a knife pierced through the middle of his head. "What's going on?"

The leader let go of the little girl before looking up, "Who's out there. Come out and face me if you're brave enough." Before the little girl could run away, he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the centre of the street. "Come out or I'll kill her!" He placed the gun at the side of her head.

Gushing noises were heard coming from the top of the buildings, it's fast, very fast, whatever it was. All that anyone could see was just a shadow jumping from one building to the other. "I'll count to 3, 1." Another of his man's throat was slit. His voice started stuttering, "2." He hopped a little backwards when the two guys in front of him that serve as his bodyguard, had their heads snapped right in front of him. Feeling as if he almost peed his pants, he pulled down the hammer of the pistol "and-"

The gun flew out of his hands as the stranger lifted both her hands into the air. And as if in sync, he too was lifted into the air closer and closer to the black-clothed figure without any means of body contact needed. "Who are you and what do you want with me."
