Chapter 24: Distorted Future

" KIYOKO-SAN! "

Kiyoko, who had just arrived at the scene, looked for the source of that voice. Her eyes landed upon Yuri, who was behind an injured Draken and Takemitchy. With tears streaming down her face.

Emma watched her in awe, honey colored eyes admiring Kiyoko like she put the moon and stars in the sky.

The loud echo of an ambulance reached everyone's ears.

Alarming their enemies, some of them ran away with Kiyoko's face still lingering at the back of their mind while the remaining ones were brave enough to try and attack them again.

Kiyoko stood before her friends, making sure they're at least a meter away from her as she pulled out Yae, pulling the trigger whenever she sees someone unsightly or rather in this case. Everyone in front of her.

Gunshots resonated along that place, nobody really knows who it belongs to. Others say it's a bad Omen, however Mikey feels the opposite.

Kiyoko kept on firing them, whether it be on the legs or on their side. She was sure they weren't gonna die, I mean, come on.

They must've been prepared considering the fact that they acted like a bunch of big deals in front of her.

Her gaze turns to Emma and Hina who was now holding an unconscious Draken whilst Takemitchy was lost in thought and on the verge of passing out.

She finally grabbed a hold on Kenma who was drenched and shivering from the cold. His soft paws now covered in grime and blood, meowing at Kiyoko's face.

Yuri immediately ran and hugged Kiyoko with desperation, as if she was gonna leave again and never come back.

Kiyoko lightly shrugged her away so as not to crush the cat she was holding, " Careful, don't suffocate my cat " her voice whispers in Yuri's ear, sending shivers down her spine.

It was all too fast and Kiyoko noticed a dark looming figure behind Yuri—and without thinking twice, she pushed Yuri out of the way.

A pipe ready to swing at her pretty little head.

Kiyoko's POV

My head still hurts because of that goddamn banana peel! And now I'm gonna get another one?!

Why are there so many of them?! Is this even part of the original flow?!

My eyes shut as I awaited for the incoming impact to my head.

But I felt nothing.

A grunt and a loud crashing noise came from somewhere near me.

I opened my other eye in hopes that my guess was correct that the guy had fallen but then A blob of blonde hair was in front of my face, quickly facing me as her hands gripped my arms.

" Kiyoko-san! Are you alright?! You didn't get hurt right?!—oh my lord! Your head is bleeding!! KIYOKO—" I shushed Yuri, using my hand to cover her mouth.

Her shrill voice was laced with worry and I can't help but wince at how loud she can be. I peeked at the figure behind her, seeing a possibly dead man laying by the dirty sidewalk with his pipe beside him.

Ew, his snot is everywhere.

Sigh.

Must be nice to be a natural born genius.

The blaring sound of the siren neared us. An ambulance coming to a stop in our spot.

Hina approached them immediately, pointing at who needs medical attention. They carried Draken and Takemitchy inside the ambulance.

Her light brown eyes glanced at me. Telling me to come with them. She's really kind isn't she? Perhaps that's why God took her from Takemichi.

Yuri was also looking in their direction, her face adorning a worried look.

I pushed her towards them, as I felt Kenma climb onto my shoulders again.

" Go with them, I'll be fine, " I told her.

She looked hesitant but as my lips curved up in a small smile, I gave her a short wave. Motioning her to hurry up before the ambulance leaves.

Yuri nodded at me, running towards Emma and the others as they went inside the ambulance and left.

The rain has come to an end, there was no one else in here besides me.

Except for the ones hiding behind that large bush. I don't feel any ill intention coming from them, but they've been staring at me for too long and it's making me uncomfortable.

" Oi, Come out now before I reload this gun and shoot every single one of you. " I announced loudly, stepping on one of the unconscious men.

Yuri really hurt this guy quite hard.

I could hear them whispering to each other like idiots. The bushes rustled as a fairly tall guy emerged, his red omelet-like hair catching my attention.

" Oh, Hanagaki's friends, right?. I didn't know they were a bunch of peeping toms " I whispered the last part to myself as I raised a brow when all of them finally came out.

Lined up and fidgeting in their spots like a bunch of scolded children. That guy with the glasses looks cute tho.

" What're you guys still doing here? Hanagaki already left with the others. " I said, watching as the mikey look-a-like looked at me with his face flushed pink.

" Well.. actually…

We're looking for you "

Huh?

Why in the fuck knuckles would they—look for me?

Sigh.

" Follow Hanagaki to the hospital now, he needs his friends emotional support right now " I commanded, purposely discarding their previous claims.

" Takemichi told us to protect you— "

What?—

" —That's why we're not leaving till you're safe like he asked us to! " This time, the black haired dude exclaimed with determination in his eyes.

Why would Takemichi protect me?

No—wait that question itself is weird,

Why would he ask his friends to protect me? He should've just asked them to protect Draken inste—oh.

Oh.

I died in the future didn't I?

An: Guess who's gonna cry soon~ (≧▽≦)
