Chapter 19 - Sakiro's Decision

JiJiO raised both his hands up, in fists, and hit the ground, trying to hit Kamio. The impact shook the ground, bouncing Kamio up into the air. Sakiro sat on the ground, just watching to see how the fight unfolds. After being launched into the air, Kamio fell to the ground, landing on his back. "Ack!"

Kamio laid on the ground, unable to get up. "Finally stopped you!" JiJiO yelled.

"I c-can't get up," Kamio said quietly.

JiJiO walked to where Kamio laid. "Time to die." JiJiO told Kamio.

'Damn it. What can I do?' Kamio thought.

He looked over to Sakiro. 'That's it. Sakiro can help me.'

"Sakiro!" Sakiro looked up at Kamio.

"Can you help me?!" Kamio asked him.

'Help you?' Sakiro thought.

"I'm the one who needs help," Sakiro said, not loud enough for anyone to hear.

'I wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for her.' Sakiro looked back at the ground and began to think about the past.

-13 years ago-

Sakiro laid on the ground, in Yuuki's tiny room, as Yuuki paced back and forth. "So, what's the plan?" Sakiro asked her.

"I think it would be best to head for the east tower first," Yuuki answered.

Sakiro sat up and looked at her. "Isn't a tower being built here, in Central Town?" Sakiro asked.

"I believe one is, but that'll take years for them to complete," Yuuki told him.

"We just need to send a message to the government, right? Why not go after this one then?" Sakiro asked.

Yuuki stopped and stood in silence. "You're probably right," Yuuki said.

"Then tonight we will break in and stop the construction."

The night approached fast as Yuuki and Sakiro prepared. They sneaked around the alleys leading to the construction site, staying close to the walls. "We should almost be there," Yuuki whispered to Sakiro.

After another minute of walking, they arrived at the site and saw the entrance heavily guarded. "What should we do now?" Sakiro asked, in a whisper.

"They don't look very tough." Yuuki Started.

"We should be able to beat them." Yuuki started to walk toward the guards, but Sakiro stopped her by grabbing her hand.

"If we fight them head-on, then they will sound an alarm!" Sakiro said to her, in a loud whisper. Yuuki stood there, thinking, for a moment.

"Then, we fight them silently." Yuuki said to Sakiro.

"What does that even mean?" Sakiro asked her.

Yuuki didn't answer and ran straight into the crowd of guards. The guards quickly noticed her.

"Surround her!" One of them shouted. Yuuki kicked that guard on the side of the head, sending him into more guards, and knocking them down.

'Is she insane!' Sakiro thought.

After a few moments, all of the guards were defeated, laying on the ground unconscious. "There we go," Yuuki said.

"Do you call that fighting silently?!" Sakiro asked her.

Yuuki turned to face him. "Oh, so you actually are coming along," Yuuki said in an annoyed way.

"I agreed to help you, didn't I?" Sakiro replied.

"Well, clearly you are second-guessing that now," Yuuki said to him.

"You need to decide, will you leave or stay and help me." Sakiro stood in thought for a moment before answering.

"I'll help." Yuuki's face brightened up.

"Great, let's go!"
