Chereads / Revolving Haven / Chapter 4 - The Attack

Chapter 4 - The Attack

We have been jogging for maybe half an hour before reaching our destination...Saitama's flat.

We walk up a flight of stairs and wait until Saitama has unlocked the door. He opens it.

I blink.

"Home Sweet Home." He stomps into the room.

What? Home Sweet Home? It's a pigsty in here. I hope I don't catch any diseases.

"Are you coming?" Genos inquires.

I look up.

"Oh, yes. Sorry. I seem to have spaced out a bit." I carefully step into the infected room and breathe in the stench.

"Oh no." Saitama says.

"What is it Master?" Genos jogs over to Saitama.

"We have run out of milk." Saitama replies.

"It seems the eggs need buying too." Genos adds.

"I'll be back. Stay here." Saitama reassures me as he and Genos dash out of the room, leaving me alone.

Silence.

What should I do now?

I scratch my head and suddenly stop. I pat my hair all the way to my shoulders where my hair stops.

I gulp.

Glancing around, I find a mirror. I run up to it and look at my reflection.

My eyes widen.

I'm... a BOY!

That Eiji Dai guy never mentioned anything about me turning into a boy. How dare he?

Curse him.

I close my eyes and inhale and exhale sharply.

I feel like punching something.

I look tot the bed. I approach it and glare daggers at the sleeping duvet. As I can't contain my anger any longer, I decide to kick the bed strongly. It goes flying into the wall, smashing it to splinters.

I gawp at the hole.

Did I just do that with my leg?

Amazement turns into panic. I am so dead.

Saitama will probably come home, see the hole in his recently built wall, look at me and punch me out of existence into hell where my enemy lives...

I search my pockets for my phone and find it. I look on Disqus for new discussions.

While I read a thread about 'mainstream anime' I hear a low giggle that sounds like Darth Vader. I turn my head to the hole. My heart stops for a millisecond.

It's a mutant cockroach!

He flies through the opening and smiles a demented smile.

"W-What do you want from me?" I say even though my insides are churning.

"Hm..." The cockroach thinks.

"What do I want? I want to kill you!" He speeds towards me and instantly I kick him in the face which surprisingly made him fall back, out of the hole.

Maybe I should use my hands next.

I see the same cockroach flying. He moves his antennae frantically for a second until a pack of beetles have sided behind the revolting insect.

"You have triggered me, now it's pay back time. ATTACK!" The hundreds of beetles head for me with blood-lust eyes and saliva-dripping mouths.

The door to the flat slams open.

Genos jumps in front of me. He uses his hands to blast some of the beetles away.

A beetle gets past Genos. I prepare to fight however, the beetle is dead as Saitama punched him with one of his legendary, uncontrollable one-punch-and-you're-dead punches.

"Thanks." I say.

"No problem." He looks at me with his game face on and a thumbs up.

"Master. They've all been dealt with." Genos exhales.

"How dare you!" The mutant cockroach starts. "I will get my revenge on you with my other soldiers. Prepare for my-"

SPLAT!

Death? I mentally finish off the insect's declaring speech.

Genos and I peer out of the hole and see Saitama screaming because he has once again killed someone with one punch.

Thank you guys for reading my story. Where do you think Hanako should go next?
