The Handmaiden's Diary (KHR Fan-Fiction)

chapter 22

He would often mention that he had a tight schedule and he also told me that this would be our farewell. He already knew that his past self would be coming to the future world.

I wanted to be honest. I did miss his past self. I was so glad to see him arriving in the future world.

Still, I really wished that he would stop reminding that swordsman about his strange eyebrows-

This is not a school, Hibari-san! We are in a freaking, dreadful future world!

I would have shouted at him but I did not do it. He was clearly confused and he did not know what he was supposed to do. He was looking around and he finally saw me sitting on the ground with the unconscious Yamamoto and Lal Mirch. He did have many things to ask me and his first words to me were...

"Herbivore, where have you been for the past few weeks?"

I was stunned for a moment and my mouth twitched a little.

"...damn it. Is that the first thing you ask me?"

"Did you just say something?"

"N-nothing, I-"

"I clearly hear your words, herbivore."

Whether I wanted to argue or not, that swordsman was looking for a chance to kill everyone here. I shook my head hard before I tried to think of what I should say to Hibari.

"F-forget about it, we are now in a critical situation and that man over there is trying to kill us here!"

"Trying to kill us here?"

"Yes, that's him! The one you're commenting about his weird eyebrows!"

He was probably half listening to me and he went on to ask the other about the unconscious Yamamoto. The swordsman admitted that he had defeated him and Hibari decided to punish him for attacking a student from Namimori Middle school.

"W-wait! You can't just directly attack him-!"

Too late. That swordsman already hit his head with the hilt of his sword and he was sent flying, further away from my position. Gokudera would like to see this scene all over again.

Even if Hibari managed to stand up after receiving that harsh hit, he was not strong enough to defeat the swordsman unless he knew how to light up his original Cloud Ring and use the box weapons. The other was taking this opportunity to defeat him with the help of his Mist Flames.

The skylark was surrounded by few hundreds of hidden missiles and he could not see any of them. I quickly lit up my ring as well to create a barrier to protect him until I felt a sharp pain from my right arm.

"You're not supposed to interrupt the battle. I shall deal with you after I'm done with that kid."

The swordsman already threw a small dagger at me and it did slash my right arm. The wound was quite deep and it would not stop bleeding. Hibari did see my injury and he was actually enraged. As much he wanted to run at my spot, he could not do it.
