Late Night[/url]
Behind the Bar...y’know, the one JT picks up chicks at and everyone goes to. It’s generic.
Several gunshots were heard, originating from a large handgun held by what seemed to be the leader of a small group of criminals. They all had surrounded a small, 5’2” woman. She shook in fear, wrapping herself up in her white cloak that covered the short, blue dress she wore underneath. Her silver hair blew a little in the cold wind, her deep blue eyes glancing around at all the scary men around her that had backed her against a wall.
The gun was aimed at the woman, but the bullets stopped mid-air, held in place by a strange blue aura. The group stared at the bullets in confusion for a second before shrugging it off, this was the Dojo afterall.
“Come on, I’d rather not have to beat such a beautiful face in, but...oh well. Come ‘ere, lil girl….”
[spoiler]
Open. Join them, figure out why they want her dead, figure out why they want her dead and kill them only to go after her yourself, or defend her. Do whatever.[/spoiler]
-
The second she moved toward the outside of the barrier several grenades were thrown and exploded in front of her. The instant she moved for an attack, a few of the men dived behind cover while the rest attempted to jump when the light on the ground reached them, trying not to touch it.
-
Suzume sucked back into the barrier very quickly, but the first grenade that went off had managed to damage her enough to affect her strength and attacks. She attempted to regain control of her breathing as the barrier slowly diminished with the force of the grenades being absorbed by it. After all the grenades had gone off and she had regained control of her breathing, she counted up her remaining enemies, and planned out her course of action. She would need to deal with the one wielding the RPG first.
-
Four remained, the RPG being the furthest away and behind a large metal trash dump. The other men held onto grenades, waiting.
-
Suzume looks back at the girl behind her and kneels down in front of her. “This may be a bit...violent. You may want to look away.” She then stands back up and runs out of the barrier, quickly closing the distance between her and the four remaining enemies. Once she was close enough, she focused all of the energy remaining in her blade into her next attack, and then she knelt down and swung her blade with all of her strength, spinning around as she does so. Her uchigatana blade erupted into golden light, and sends beams of razor sharp golden energy in every direction, which, from her current position, would wipe out the remaining four enemies. After she executed this attack she quickly stood back up and readied her blade, prepared to strike down any that remained.
-
The rpg was fired at her feet and the grenades were all thrown, aimed all around her location as if to stop her from getting away. The only one to get out of the way of her attack was the one in the back with the rpg.
-
All Suzume could do was roll out of the way, but the explosions still gave her several wounds and stunned her momentarily. She took a few moments to pull herself up onto one knee, and then she spotted the only remaining enemy with the RPG still alive in the back. She slowly and quietly made her way towards him while the smoke cleared, taking a more stealthy approach.
-
The man pulled out his rifle while she had been staggered, firing away at her. "Come on!"
-
Seeking a quick way to end this conflict, Suzume ducks down into cover and waits for the right opportunity to move in and attack. She quickly switches between cover, every so often, gradually drawing nearer and nearer to the final enemy.
-
"F*ckin' b*tch..." The man fired at the silver haired girl, who was now unprotected, blasting a hole through her shoulder and another through her chest.
-
Upon viewing this, Suzume grew enraged. Her blade erupted into blinding golden light as she vaulted over the cover she was hiding behind, sprinting towards her last enemy. She swiftly hacks the rifle in his hands in two with one quick slash before turning the blade to him and slamming it through his stomach, twisting the blade before carving upwards and then wrenching her sword out. She then turns back to the girl, running towards her as fast as she can after sheathing her blade. She slides towards her and is soon crouched beside her, green energy billowing around her arm and green light filling her eye yet again as she desperately works on healing the girl’s wounds. “I am so sorry...I should have been quicker..”
-
The small girl cried out in pain and agony, squirming around. "It hurts! It hurts!" She cried, tears running down her face.
-
Suzume poured everything into healing the girl’s wounds, ignoring her own wounds. She was actually starting to tear up just watching the girl, feeling horrible for having let her get hurt. “This should not have happened..” She gradually closes the girl’s wounds, dulling the pain tremendously and eventually making it go away altogether.
-
The girl continued to cry, suddenly grabbing onto Suzume and hugging her tightly. She cried into her chest, shaking. "Thank you! Th-Thank you!"
-
Suzume closes her eye and lets a single tear trickle down her face, hugging the girl back. “I am sorry all of this happened, you should not have had to go through this pain..”
-
"N-No, you saved! You're my hero!" The girl sniffled, still shaking. "I owe you my life..."
-
Suzume smiles weakly and hugs the girl a little tighter, her eye still watery. “I am grateful to have been able to save the life of an innocent in the face of danger.”
-
The girl kept hugging Suzume, not letting go. "I was so scared...." Her breathing was shallow and quick.
-
“If I am to be honest, so was I. Not for myself, but for you.” She opens her eye and removes her black circular hat and sets her sheathed blade to the side. Her feline ears were now visible as she removed her jingasha, though the girl still had her face buried in Suzume’s chest.
-
"Thank you again...for this. I'll do anything it takes to repay you, just ask. Anything." She gazed up at Suzume, her deep blue eyes letting her know she meant it.
-
Suzume smiles at the girl, still close to tears. “Tell me, do you have a home? Somewhere safe that you can be? Or are you alone and have nowhere to go?”
-
"W-Well...no. I don't have a place to go back to really." She replied.
-
“If you have nowhere to go, you may as well have someone to look after you. What would you say for me to help keep you safe and look after you from now on?” Suzume looked earnest and completely serious, truly wanting to help the girl and ensure she was safe.
-
"I-I can't ask that of you! That's so much work and time and...all for me?" The girl shook her head. "I-I'm not worth that."
-
Suzume shook her head. “I came to this place to bring peace and enforce justice to those that deserve it. You [i]are[/i] worth that, trust me. Besides, I do not have a companion of my own, and in truth I am often lonely, partially because I have spent years wandering around the planet.” She sighs and looks down before looking into the girl’s eyes again. “You and I, we are both similar. We both do not have a home to go back to. You do not seem to be able to defend yourself against those that would do you harm, and I would be heartbroken to see you harmed by anyone who has no care for the innocent and wishes to harm them. Please, I can keep you safe and do my best to look after you in every way I can..”
-
"I...Thank you, so much. I-I'm Silver. I'll gladly keep you company." She smiled a little up at Suzume.
