Chap 16

Dustin's POV

"She's a part of a mafia group. Pag napuno siya sayo pwede ka niyang ipapatay--" napatigil nalang ako nung nilapat niya yung index finger niya sa lips ko

"Relax wala akong balak magpakamatay. Siguro pag inatake niya ako makakaya ko naman siyang labanan. I trained for almost 10 years ng lahat ng klase ng martial arts and any form of fighting—ewan pero wala pa akong experience sa real combat" she said honestly nagmumukha na din siyang maamo

Bago kami umuwi, she made sure na totally locked ang JCR and no one can open it but her. Pagdating namin sa parking area I felt a lot of presence na parang madaming nakatingin samin.

"Ano ba ginagawa mo jan? Tara na" her voice sounds natural but her eyes are saying something kaya nagbike na kami palayo and let them follow us but instead of going home straight we went to another place but before going there I contacted my troop. Yes, my own troop of asssassins. They sent them here in case I'll need help.

Tumigil kami sa harap ng isang secluded at abandoned building. This is not good, hindi pa fully recovered si Yoshiro. Kailangan ko siyang ipitin to reduce her moves.

"Quit hiding blonde girl" pagkasabi nun ni Yoshiro ay nagpakita na nga si Kiara with some men behind him from the dark side of the place

"What do you want?" tanong ko agad sa kanya

"I only have business with your fiancé so don't interfere, I don't want you to get hurt" the last phrase was just so flirty, nakakarindi

"Then why bring your pack?" I asked with a serious tone

"You noticed? I should have expected it from someone who lived under the Steves"

"Get straight to the point Kiara" this time I raised my voice a little

"I don't like your tone Dustin. Well, as you wish. Wether you like it or not I'm going to take her" sabay turo kay Yoshiro but she didn't even flinch but I can see her seriousness in her eyes

"I'm not letting you take her away from me and from her father" agad kong hinarang ang katawan ko kay Yoshiro

"Get out of my way kuya" she strongly said but I stood still

"I know this hurts your pride but please... ayokong maratay ka ulit sa hospital"

Yoshiro's POV

Hearing those words made me feel that I'm weak. That gunshot that I took, I failed to dodge it. Just right this very moment I realized na ... I'm no match for her. She's a mafia darn it! How could an ordinary girl like me face them head on?! Thinking about it made me chuckle and it seems nagulat si kuya dun kasi napalingon siya sakin.

"Let's just go home kuya, I don't have time for this" sabi ko sa kanya as I tap his shoulder with a smile. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko sinabi yun at ang nakakagulat I said it confidently

"Oh... she got scared" may pang-aasar na sabi ni Kiara

"Maybe you're the one who's scared that's why you brought your whole battalion with you" resbak ko naman at nakita kong kumunot ang noo niya pero kinalma niya ang sarili niya then we felt another strong prescence

"So you also took your troop" napunta ang attention namin kay Dustin

Troop? He has one? What going on?!

"You know what Kiara, why don't we just call this a day" Dustin suggested

And before I knew it nakauwi na pala kami, ni hindi ko alam ang nagyari after that and I found myself here in our underground gym preparing to train.

"Do that if you already recovered" narinig kong sabi ni dad na nakasandal sa door

"Dad, I think this is the best thing I could do right now"

"You're not in good condition... Yoshiro" nakaramdam ako ng chills nung sinabi niya ang pangalan ko and I have no choice but to go to bed

After that havoc I did... I think nagba-backfire lahat sakin yung mga ginawa ko. Tsss... pathetic, kung naiwasa ko lang yun—darn it! What's happening to me?!

It's been a month since that day. Walang commotion na nangyayari sa school between me and Kiara. Akin parin ang JCR... akin parin ang lugar that I consider as my home.

"Dev I..."

"Kuya I want to talk with you too"

Sinara niya yung door at umupo sa harap ko pero nagpapakiramdaman lang kami

"Are you still troubled by her prescence?" I asked seriously habang nakayuko at nilalaro yung daliri ko

"Yeah, thinking that she might pull something out of her sleeve anytime, can't make me relax for even a second considering that we're all in the same room" he sighed

"You have a troop right?" pag-iiba ko ng topic

"What about it?"

"Since when?"

"Since I turned 18"

"Come to think of it you haven't shared your past to me yet"

"Ikaw din naman" he's right but I have nothing to tell him

"I started training since I was 7, nabigyan na din ako ng mga missions until I got promoted as a captain... nabigyan ako ng harder missions then sunod sunod na promotions ang natanggap ko. I'm not bragging pero yun ang totoo pero simula nung pumasok ako sa showbiz hindi ko na nabigyan ng pansin ang assassination"

"Please train me"
