The sun has faded away, turning it's warm embrace into a lim lit city leaving only the orange scenery in the sky. The city is not all quiet, people are leaving work from long hours. Some are people ready to enjoy the night time activities. The remaining are either heading home from school or..... looking to cause trouble.
"So what do we do exactly, Alex," said Hermione. "They were on their way to cheesy burger to meet up with Hinata's group. I'll explain later once everyone gets there," Alex replied, "ya know, you kinda don't have that gangsters vibe... most people wouldn't help people like me in these kinda situations. You're like a weirdo, Alex. "
"I'm sorry, but did you call me a weirdo? Fool! You're the weird one. You were dressed like a guy for the longest time"
Alex and Hermione playfully joke around on the way to the burger joint.
Inside of the cheesy burger were Miki and Rena. They were just chatting away while waiting for hinata and Sosuke as well Alex and Hermione.
"Why can't we just do this on a Saturday?" Miki was restless sitting in the booth.
"Jeez Miki it is Saturday. And you just wanna go home and watch anime," Rena was sitting across from Miki as he threw his tantrum. To people around them it looked like a big sister and her little brother sitting in a diner as he was throwing a fit like a toddler. Hinata walks into the food joint,
"Miki, why are you acting like a child?" Miki jumped up and hugged hinata.
"I'm so tired of sitting here and waiting!" Hinata was trying to get Miki off her.
"Where is Alex and Hermione?" Asked Hinata, slightly concerned.
"They should be here any minute now" Rena replied.
"So do you think those guys are a couple yet?" Asked Miki.
"That's way too fast" said Rena "they barely know each other, he came to our school like a day ago."
"Rena does have a point." Miki included.
"So, where is Sosuke?" Asked Rena. Hinata responded, explaining that he's picking up Hanabi.
Down by the YMCA, Sosuke is standing by the lobby.
"She should be getting out any minute now." He thought to himself. Sosuke was basically staring at his watch. A group of kids and their parents come walking out.
The kids seem to be talking about the things they learned from today's lesson. Following behind came Hanabi. She was looking around to see who's coming to pick her up.
"Yo Hanabi" she turns towards the voice. "Sosuke!" She runs at full speed and jumps into his arms with excitement. With the momentum, he lifts her in the air.
"Woah there tiger cub" he spins her around and puts her back down.
"Alright let's get going now." As they began walking and talking, Sosuke was struck from behind. Before falling he released Hanabi's hand. The figure behind him was a large male wearing black.
"Hahah, Sosuke, youre on the ground let me help ya out" as he walked towards Sosuke he kicked him in the ribs. Sosuke let out a yelp an gasp for air as his legs curled inward, fetal position. Hanabi tried to help but was stopped by a short young man.
"Not so fast, we have plans for you"
The bigger one looks away from Sosuke and towards Hanabi.
"I don't know what you creeps are on but the answer is no. I'm not going anywhere with you"
Sosuke gets up and regains his balance while he recognizes his assailant, it was Pete and Jason. Hanabi was getting into a stance ready to fight.
"Hanabi. Go to your sister, now." Sosuke was unbuttoning his jacket. Hanabi was trying to testify. "It would be easier if we both take them." Sosuke just gave her a glare.
"Your father would kill me, now leave" as she was about to take off Pete tried to stop her, as Pete was moving, Sosuke grabbed his head. Sosuke ran with force and rammed him head first into a street sign. Jason tried to grab Hanabi's hand but was intercepted with a swift kick to the side of his head by Sosuke. With her path open, she spirited away. She ran and didn't look back.
Now why don't you guys tell me what your up to? Said Sosuke with intimidating eyes. Pete and Jason were back to their feet,
"I'm sick of this guy already" whined Pete.
"You think so, they did say he could fight." Replied Jason as he pulled out a pocket knife. Sosuke was just gonna let it off as a school fight, but clearly this was something more.
10 minutes of running
Hanabi was a great distance away when she heard a gunshot. She stopped running. People around her started talking about where the shots came from. Hanabi began to cry heavy tears. Trying to cover her face so her voice doesn't sound out. She wondered if she had stayed would she have been able to help Sosuke.
She started to run again. She has to tell her sister... no she must tell sister at once. After a long deadline sprint, she finally arrived at her destination. She rushes through the doors.
"Hina! Hina! Where are you!" Everyone in the restaurant was looking around. Hinata finally stood up. And ran towards her sister.
"Hanabi what's wrong? Where's Sosuke?" Hanabi clung to her sister shaking.
"We were attacked by these guys and he told me to run and when I got far away I heard a gunshot" cried Hanabi. The shock was too great. Hinata was frozen for about 3 minutes. When she suddenly dropped but Rena was there to catch her. "Hinata!?"
