Strong Enough - Part 4

The person who grabbed her started to laugh and whispered in her ear, "What's a pretty girl doing here?" And he released her, drawing a sword from his belt and thrusting it into the man who was trying to escape. The thief screamed in agony and dropped the bag, which the boy took and handed to the her. "Here, this is yours." His penetrating blue eyes fixed on her face, and a mischievous grin spread to his lips. "Now... My pay." With that, he grabbed her by the waist, bending as if to kiss her.

"No! What are you doing !?" She tried to push him away, but he held her tighter. "Let me go!" She struggled more and more. A rumble was heard inside the bar and the side access door flew down the alley. In a matter of seconds, the princess was being pulled out by the dark-haired boy, and the other, with the bicolored eyes, was holding the boy's neck, the one that tried to kiss her by force. His voice sounded full of anger. "Don't touch a girl like that... unless she allows it." His gaze was cold and deadly, he dropped the other on the ground and headed toward her again. "Let's go."

The boy who still held her hand guided her gently behind the other, who walked without looking back. "Who are... who are you?" She asked, feeling her legs trembling with fear. The boy who held his hand smiled weakly and replied, "I am First Immediate Ichinose and that one in the front is Captain Kurosaki. Don't worry, we won't hurt you. "

She had a million questions. She didn't want to go on with those men, but what choice did she have at the moment? If she tried to run away, they would catch her easily. At least she had recovered her purse... But the image of that sword being thrust into the thief wouldn't come out of her head any time soon. And the fury in the captain's eyes as he grabbed the other man's neck would haunt her for a long time too...
