We find the others and begin to explain what's going on.
Kirito seemed standoffish at Leo's presence as I spoke.
"Borin, im sure you already knew wed meet Leo here so I'll save the introductions for later but right now we have to move, Our target is in danger and Kazuki is the one behind it, He's planning on an ambush once he leaves, where is he? We have to protect him!"
Borin stutters with the sudden information and looks at Kirito worriedly and Kirito is the first to speak.
"He left about 10 minutes ago, If we leave now we can catch up in time."
As we're about to walk out Kirito throws his hand between Leo and I.
"You're not coming."
Leo looked a bit agitated.
"And why not?"
Kirito throws him a stern look.
"Because I know who you are and I don't trust you one bit."
He spoke with a coldness in his voice, I grab ahold of Kiritos wrist.
"We need him, now is not the time to argue let's go!"
Kirito seemed a bit hesitant but agrees reluctantly.
"Fine, But don't get in our way and stay away from Yuki."
Flustered by Kiritos words I shake my head and just walk away with them following from behind.
A few minutes pass as we run into the direction our target was heading, Bolin stops out of breath he coughs.
"You...You guys go ahead, I can't keep running like this, I'll stay behind to coordinate with you all...Use the earpieces I gave to you earlier and switch to channel 1, If you run into trouble let me know right away!"
We nod and run ahead without a second thought.
(That old man...If he can't even run then what's the point of him even being in this line of duty at his age?!)
I shake my head in frustration.
"Yuki look!"
I hear Leo holler from beside me and I look toward his line of sight. There stood the man we were supposed to protect.
I instantly got releaved.
"Thank goodness! Mr. Dosin ChiYu!"
Our target turns around and looked a bit confused at our presence. He sees Kirito and his face looked a bit releaved.
"Oh, It's just you guys, Why did you come all this way to find me?"
We began to walk closer as we talked.
"Your in danger, We-"
Just then I feel a strong dark presence and dart towards Mr. Dosin.
"Mr. Dosin watch out!"
I instantly stand in front of him and create a quick ice shield around us, just as soon as I did Fire was blasted at us. As fast as my ice melted I kept the shield up till the attack ended. Kirito speaks through the earpiece.
"Yuki! Are you guys alright?"
My ice falls to the ground around us and I nod.
"I'm alright, Watch yourselves."
I look up to see we were surrounded by five people. Two of them that I instantly knew.
"It's Kazuki and Lord Rode."
Kazuki chuckles and crosses his arms.
"Well, I didn't expect to see Leo here too! What a surprise my old friend!"
Leo looked disgusted and spat on the ground.
"Kazuki, the word friend being used between you and I makes me sick. How could you even show your face after doing what you've done!"
Kazuki laughs sadistically and looks towards Rode who smirks.
"My family matters do not concern you, Lord Rode care to do the honors?"
I look at Rode who seemed to disappear in an instant.
"Where'd he go? Mr. Dosin get behind me!"
Kirito and the others try to run towards us but are intercepted by the other guys. In just a second later I feel an alarming presence beside me and go for the dagger under my dress, It all happened so fast my reflexes reacted just in time, I stop thin blade seconds away from hitting Mr. Dosins throat. Rode who looked stunned for a second smirked.
"I thought that you'd be an interesting opponent from the very moment I met you. I just didn't think it would be 'This' interesting."
"Shut up! I do not care about what interests you!"
Rode pushes harder and I do the same.
"Mr. Dosin please move away as quickly as you can!"
"R-Right!"
He steps back and I catch Rode's eyes wander to above me.
(What is he looking at?)
I jump back and see that Kazuki had leaped from the building towards Dosin. Just as he does Rode swoops in to attack me at the same time yelling at me.
"Little ice princess you better focus on your opponent!"
(They are teaming up to get to Dosin, I can't let them kill him!)
At the last second I turn my back to Rode and cast the only protecting spell I knew, the one our late headmaster taught us before he passed away.
(Please let this work!)
I make a few hand signs and in a matter of seconds as I feel a blow to my right shoulder a shield surrounds Dosin just as Kazuki got near him, Kazuki lands on the shield and is electricuted. He's sent flying to the ground and I turn back towards Rode swinging my dagger as he tries to step back I scratch his cheek causing some blood to leak out.
"Well, im impressed, Even with a hurt shoulder you managed to finish that spell and attack me all at once? This should indeed be fun."
I smirk ignoring the pain in my shoulder.
"You'll never get to Dosin while im alive. That shield will stay standing till I take my last breath! And as far as I know you need me alive for whatever you guys have planned so why not give up now?"
Kazuki chuckles and I turn around to see him centimeters away from me.
"How did you!-"
Before I could finish my sentence Rode covers my mouth from behind and grabs hold of my right arm twisting it behind my back while Kazuki stabs a needle into my left arm without hesitation.
Kirito yells from afar.
"Yuki!"
He's blocked by several attacks from the enemy's backup arriving.
I take this chance to bite hard into Rodes hand who doesn't seem to me fazed even though I drew blood.
"Yuki, Unlike you mortals, I do not feel pain so what your doing doesn't even faze me. Why waste your efforts and get blood on that beautiful dress of yours?"
Kazuki chuckles peering into my eyes.
"Dosin is just bait, our real objective was actually you. Or a certain someone else but you were much easier."
Whatever they had injected me with had started to quickly take effect and I began to feel tired.
(I need to fight. I can't let them win again! I am not some weakling!!)
Anger began to boil inside me and Kazuki seemed to notice the intensity of my power growing stronger. He gave Rode a serious look.
"Why isn't it working? Get back now!"
He tries to push Rode away from me but it was to late, I use my free hand and blast a eminence power of ice at Kazuki which sends me flying back with Rode as my shield from behind we smash into the wall hard making it crumble around us. I quickly get up and dodge the moving stones as they pile up on Rode, Kazuki stands back up trying to sturdy his stance.
"Why you little!-"
Without hesitation I pick up my fallen dagger and dart at him trying to not give him another chance.
"Yuki, You've given me no choice!"
I smirk.
"Same here Kazuki!!"
Just as I jump into the air and moments before I hit him with the dagger he disappears and next thing I know it im on the ground with a knife to my throat.
Kazuki stands above me smirking.
"It seems you have forgotten about my new power on stopping time little sister. It's done now give up!"
"I'll never give up, id die before giving into a heartless bastard such as yourself!"
Kazuki winces in pain clutching his head with his free hand.
(My opening!)
I quickly monover my arm around his and twist his arm forcing him off of me. I get up and take a step back but stagger. My vision starting to grow blurry.
(It seems...were both at our limits...)
Kazuki seemed to have recover from his moment of weakness and starts to walk towards me.
I take a look at Kirito and Leo who are still fighting, they looked rather beaten up.
(None of us can keep this up, At this rate we will lose...)
Just as Kazuki darts towards me I ready myself and draw my dagger up using my ice magic to make ice needles.
Kazuki jumps into the air and swings at me which I dodge and counter attack. This goes on till we both are out of breath.
"Whats wrong Kazuki? I thought you said you were stronger then me? Seems like your worse off then me!"
I manage to say through breaths and Kazuki just growls with anger.
"I'll show you right now! Stop being so cocky!!"
By now the sedative they had given me was starting to take over and I could feel my body going limp as if it was taking over out of my control.
Kazuki smirks as he sees me stagger I place my hand alongside the wall to try to catch myself.
"It seems the sedative is kicking in, Yuki your done for now!"
He darts at me and I try to move my arm but fail.
(Crap...Cant move.)
