Krazy Keiko

Without saying anything more you walk forward and grab Sarah's hand.

"You live in a dangerous ass neighborhood."

"...."

She doesn't answer you and you just lift your other hand to lightly karate chop her head.

"I fought six motherfuckers to save your ass. I want to hear your thanks."

"....t-....thanks....thanks boss."

Sarah begins to slowly tear up and doesn't give you a chance to deny her as she takes it upon herself to hug you. You make a funny face as you look down at her knowing she is rubbing snot and tears on your uniform....but, you're relieved she is safe.

"There....there was more of them following me, boss."

"Stop calling me boss, and alright. You're safe with me okay? For now, how about you come with us? You can crash at our place again."

"....okay....uhh....us? W-what do you mean us?"

"Hrm? Amelia and me-....."

You freeze....where's Amelia!? Your head turn and you look behind you....no Amelia in sight. Where'd she go!?

You panic.

"Amelia? Amelia!? Shit!"

You grab Sarah's hand and begin to run. You practically drag her along as you sprint back the alleyway you came and back out into the street. You appear and look around. It's empty. No one's out. The wind is howling as it washes over the cold place. You grit your teeth nervously and focus on your hearing.

"Jun?-"

"SHUSH!"

You snap at Sarah as you scan the area....THERE, some noise a few alleyways down the road. You let go of Sarah and begin to run.

"Follow me!"

You go full speed in an instant and reach the alleyway in half a second. Your body comes to a sliding stop. There's no time to process your display of speed as you stare into the alleyway, blood pumping through your veins again....

....what you see makes you part your mouth.

Amelia is sitting on the ground nearby, safe. A bunch of similar looking thugs from earlier are scattered across the alleyway. About 8 or 9 of them. Most of them are bloodied and beaten to a pulp. Some are out cold and others are crying and groaning curled up.

What took all your attention was the female figure standing at the center of this carnage. Keiko.

Still in her school uniform with her dark blue blazer tied around her hip she stands there facing away from you. Her fists are wrapped in bloodied bandages and is breathing heavily with a sheen of sweat dripping down her body. You can see the definition of her toned arms and legs really well.

"Keiko?"

You whisper and Keiko turns to look at you. For a slight second you feel the heat of her intensity aimed your way before her eyes widen and she fully turn to face you.

"Jun!?"

"Jun!"

Amelia jumps up and quickly lunges at you. You catch her.

"....I'm so sorry."

"You fucking IDIOT!"

"I know! I know....I'm sorry."

You say and hug Amelia tighter. Amelia lets go of the hug and kicks your shin with her foot.

"Don't leave me AGAIN!!!"

Keiko walks forward and chuckles at the two of you.

"Ahahaha!~ Jun's getting bullied by Amelia again."

"You're not helping Keiko."

A sweat drips down your brow as all worries leave your body. You can't thank whoever is watching over you enough.

Quick footsteps approach as Sarah finally catches up and stops as she sees the three of you.

"Jun! Amelia!"

"Hmph"

Amelia pouts and Keiko waves at Sarah.

"Yo. I'm Keiko, nice to officially meet you."

"Yea....same."

With not much manners Sarah simply nods over to Keiko. She looks weirded out by her bloody fist wraps. The scene behind Keiko doesn't make her look any less weird.

"Now what?"

Amelia says and everyone looks at you.
