I Don't Have Enough Middle Fingers To Let You Know How I Feel

Chapter 22: I Don't Have Enough Middle Fingers To Let You Know How I Feel

Imrei POV

I wake up with a pounding headache and open my eyes but I'm only met with darkness. How drunk did I get? Did I sleep through the whole day into the night again? I try to stretch but realized that I can't move my arms. Well this can't be good... I start to wiggle around in hopes of figuring out something about where exactly I am. I feel myself rolling, then I'm falling. I hit the floor roughly and sigh. Well, I was on a bed. I don't know if it is Obi's bed or not. I jolt in surprise as a door opens and I hear footsteps coming into the room.

"Oh good, you're awake."

"Miron? What the hell!?"

"Our time together was interrupted before so I decided that we should pick up where we left off." His voice sounds from just in front of me.

"If you're going to kill me, don't take the coward's way out by not letting me have a fighting chance." I hiss as I feel him drag me to my feet by a handful of hair.

This is not good. This is definitely not good. Where am I? How did I end up here from the kickback and where are Obi and Mitsuhide? I hear him chuckle and agree with me, then my hands are untied. I try to swing automatically but he catches my fists easily.

"Not yet Darling. You're so eager. Here, you wanted a fighting chance, here it is."

A piece of cool metal is placed in my hand, a dagger from the feel, and he tells me to fight while I can.

I curse under my breath as I feel the slight breeze in my hair from his fist sailing past my head. I'm still blindfolded but I haven't had the opportunity to move it since he instantly attacked me as soon as he let go. I am somehow holding my own though, but I've been on the defensive so I've made no progress. I guess Obi's training does work.

"Why are you so intent on killing me? Seriously all you did was lose your job at the castle for being a major pervert." I ask as I slice at him with the dagger then duck his next swing.

"I had the perfect life! Everything I wanted at my fingertips, even the women, all I had to do was cook. Then you come along and ruined everything!" He roars and I feel myself get slammed to the floor and his knees pin my lower body beneath him.

"Just get another job! Seriously it's not that hard."

"I've been blacklisted in Clarines because of you! You ruined my life so I'm taking yours." The dagger is ripped from my hands and I hear it hit the floor across the room with a clatter. "But first... I want to get to know you a little better."

His chuckle sends a chill down my spine and I start to struggle harder against his grip.

"Get your hands off her!"

I sit up and shuffle back away from where Miron had been as his weight suddenly leaves my body. I tear the blindfold from my eyes and find him being slammed against the wall by Obi as Mitsuhide makes his way over to me. He asks if I'm okay and I nod numbly despite my body shaking and the tears trailing down my cheeks. I can't look away from Obi and the pure rage etched into his features as he attacks Miron. Watching him fight has always been amazing to see but this time is different. Usually he would simply toy with his opponents and he'd have his cocky crooked grin on his face. This time he's purely fighting with intent to kill. With an almost unseen movement, a dagger appears in Obi's hand and it sails down toward Miron's chest.

"Obi don't-" Mitsuhide calls out and he pauses without looking back at us.

"No Mitsuhide. I'm doing it. He's had his chances to leave her alone and he didn't listen. I'm not letting him live so he can keep on hurting her over and over again!"

I push away from Mitsuhide and get to my feet before Obi can strike him down. As he brings the dagger down again, I grab his wrist with my good hand and stop the movement. His furious golden eyes meet mine and the fire in them dies slightly. I shake my head slightly and I feel the tension in his arm lessen. He reluctantly releases the grip he so tightly held on Miron's throat and the man slumps to the floor with a series of gasping coughs.

"Let's go Obi. Come on Hide."

I release Obi's wrist and take his hand instead, then pull him toward the door after Mitsuhide.

"Obi behind you!"

I'm pushed away from Obi suddenly and I turn in time to see Obi plunge a dagger into Miron's stomach while dodging the blade that had been coming down toward us. I can't look away from the blood pouring out of Miron's body until my face is pressed into Mitsuhide's chest. I've never killed anyone and I've never seen anyone get killed. Even working with Obi we've only ever knocked out our opponents. I know of Obi's past before he came to be with us at the castle so I know fully well what he's capable of but it's another thing to see it in action. He didn't even skip a beat with moving me to safety while drawing the dagger and delivering the blow. He definitely was someone to fear.

"Let's go Imme, you're safe now."

I nod and slowly move my face but the only sign that anything had happened behind the now closed door is the blood Obi is wiping off his hands with a cloth.
