It was a sunny day outside.
People are noisy.
Cars are beeping.
On a busy day like this, it's a great time to wake up.
In a neat room, a lady woke up and start her day by looking around the room. After confirming the area, she takes a big sigh and gets off the bed.
Then she went into the bathroom to take a shower. Shampooing its beeline honey color of long hair as the water from the top travel downward, passing its brown eyes, and going down to her slender body. Taking her time bathing, rinsing, then later wear clothes.
The clothes were a white jacket over the sleeveless undershirt, black pants paired with shoes, and a ring on the finger of the right hand.
Succeeding to wear those clothes, she left the room and headed to the elevator. Walking in a hallway, passing a couple of doors, then finally riding the elevator. Heading down where the main lobby is, she went to the clerk's desk.
"I'm checking out."
She said then hand out a key.
"Thanks for staying. And please come back again."
The receptionist said as they grab the key.
Seems like the place she slept in was a hotel. It was decent for a 3-star hotel. The only downside to it was, that there's no food service. So she has to eat elsewhere.
As expected, after checking out at the hotel, she went to a certain fast-food restaurant.
"Welcome to FooDonald. Can i take your order?"
Said the receptionist.
"Can i take…"
She orders a burger, a ton of them, then fries and a cola.
"Um… Miss, do you need some help?"
A staff asked.
"Ah, no, no, i can handle this."
She rejected their help and continue carrying her food. People were looking at her as goes by, with a tray in her hands that is loaded with burgers, it was oddly to see. Even how many she's carrying, she can carry it like it's nothing.
In the middle of finding a table, a female staff passing her suddenly slip. And with her fast reaction, she manage to catch the female staff using its other hand moreover catch the trey that the crew was holding by her foot then fast but carefully lower it down and slide it into an empty table nearby.
"Are you okay?"
She asked the staff.
"..."
The female staff was surprised and just answered it with a nod.
After the two of them back to normal, the people around start to clap. They were amazed at what happened and what she did. It's like it came from a movie.
"What happened?"
The manager came in and asked.
"Oh, i slipped and this customer catch me."
The staff that slipped explained.
"What?! Then the food?"
"It still fine, there at the table."
"Did you apologize?"
"Ah, not yet."
"Not yet?! You should apologize now!"
The manager ordered, then both of them lowered their heads and apologize,
"Dear, customer, we're so sorry!"
"I'm sorry."
"No, it's fine. Nothing serious happens and my food is still in my hand."
The lady in a white jacket accepted their apology.
"As thanks for helping our staff, you can order something for free."
The manager offered.
"Hmm… then, i will have some more burgers."
"Okay dear customer, just wait for a while, and will provide them to you."
The manager said, then switch her gaze to their staff and say,
"And you, take that food to the people who ordered that, already. And bring your savior some burgers."
"Yes, understood."
The staff replied then she take the tray from the table and headed to their kitchen.
"Hey, you don't have to be harsh to her."
The lady said.
"Oh that, as a superior, i need to do that."
The manager answered.
"But it's just an accident."
She asked.
"We usually do that for the staff to learn from their mistakes. As working adults in society, they need to be responsible for their jobs. What about you dear customer, do you think what we do is wrong?"
"No, i don't think so…"
"Then if there's nothing else to say, i have something to take care of. And just kindly wait for your reward."
"Okay."
The manager shortly left after that, and the lady in white sat at an empty table.
While the lady waiting for her reward, she start eating the food she ordered. As she unwraps the cover of the burger, she slowly takes a bite. Taking its time savoring the taste in each bite. And after finishing one, she starts eating the next one the same way. Also with the fries, in one strand, she bit it into tiny bits like she was saving it.
"Dear Savior, here's the reward."
While she was eating, the female staff she caught finally arrived.
"Hmm? What's this? I didn't ask for this."
The lady asked about the ice cream that the staff brought in with the burgers.
"Oh, it's the reward for what you did."
"But the burger was the reward i asked."
"Yeah. The burger is the reward from our restaurant to you, meanwhile, this ice cream is my gift to you Miss as thanks."
"Is that so? Then i take your offer."
"I'm glad. And once again, thank you."
The staff said and she went back to work.
After the staff left, the lady continue to eat her food. The lady manage to eat all the ones she ordered and the reward food as well like it was nothing. The people at the neighboring table watched her eating that many by herself. 'How sad' or 'How cute' they think.
After finishing her food, she stood up and headed to the exit.
She was about to leave the restaurant when the female staff she saved say,
"Thanks for eating here! Come again next time!"
Hearing that, the lady responded by not looking at the person and just waving her hand while walking away.
On leaving the restaurant, the lady went to her next destination. The park.
She was going there to take a break after eating. Sat on the bench, looking at people who are passing. Joggers, taking a walk with their pets, and couples were passing.
Taking her time resting and viewing, she finally stood up from her seat and leave the park to go to her next destination.
And the next place she went was the mall. She is there to watch all the movies that currently airing in the theater. Then after watching it all, next she went to the arcade and play all the games there. She played all the cabinets, from crane games to fighting games and so on.
Then after that, she leaves the mall and heads to the next destination. The zoo. Then after that, next was the aquarium. After those, he went to a couple of sports stadiums such as basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. Spending the time she has at a fast pace, traveling by foot from place to place was rather easy for her due to how fast and jumpy she is. All the place she went was for her enjoyment except for one.
The last destination.
Date: March 22, 20XX. Time: 3:58 PM.
In a particular place, she is standing on the top of a building, staring down at a certain pedestrian lane.
From there, in a midst of people crossing the road, she was looking at them. Adults, elders, kids with parents, and schoolmates, were passing. Patiently on standby as if she's waiting for someone, no, rather she's waiting for something to happen. A situation where a group of people got into an accident, like…
"AAAAAAA!!!"
A truck suddenly hit a massive crowd that was passing. Blood, dislocated bodies, and scream were in that scene. And that scene was the one she was waiting for.
"I see… he didn't come."
She said after confirming something. About what happened down there, she nevertheless didn't care at all. She just closed her eyes for a couple of seconds and then left the scene. And those she jumps from roof to roof, her way to somewhere.
Soon she arrives at the place. It was a restricted area, a street that was abandoned by citizens and it's rumored about people living there got killed overnight.
And the reason why she's there was because she's looking for someone. So after jumping around the place, she finally found the person and in her hand, a sword suddenly appears out of nowhere then she lunches an attack.
Despite that person's back being wide open, it dodges her attack as if it knows it's coming. Yet, she didn't stop there and follow another one. However, that person manages to dodge it.
Then after her attack, that person tries to counterattack by swinging the pipe from their right hand.
The attack was poorly commenced, as that person just recklessly swung their weapon. It only takes a small movement for her to dodge the strikes and easily slashed that person's weapon in half.
Even how useless their attack is plus the pipe was cut in half, they continue. It was pathetic. She already sighed twice on what the person do was futile. So she wants to end it already.
With her sword, she raised it and take a swing.
It was already over. The blade already went through the flesh and blood started going out. She thought that with one swing, she can end it, or it seems supposed to be. However, unexpectedly, that person blocked her attack with their left hand.
And with that, while she's focused on the person's left arm, without wasting any second, the person gets the opportunity to counter by stabbing her.
Luckily, no, expectedly she noticed it and quickly step back.
Again the person's attack failed. Although that person already anticipated that and start running away immediately after some distance between them formed. Shortly after noticing that, without further ado, she starts running as well.
And with that, the chase has begun.
She chased the person as if it were prey. Like a predator hunting its food, as fast and is bloodthirsty.
Even though how the prey got the head start, the predator still manage to catch up with no sweat at all. As they continue the run, the predator continues to attack and the prey keeps managing to dodge it as well. Stopping from time to time then continue running, dodging to the left or the right like a deer that is desperate to get away from a lion.
And while the chase goes on, a new group of prey arrived.
"Hey kid, where is the murderer?!"
"Behind me! Shoot her!"
With her being behind and with a weapon in hand, it's obvious that she's the enemy. So the new prey starts gunning her.
However, even for that, attacking at the same time with a gun in their hands, it's still useless against her. And with the new prey that arrived a while ago including the one she's chasing, all of them got slashed easily by her.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
As she swung her sword, the feeling of flesh sliced through, her face… instead of making the impression of a killer, her face was making an expression of sorrow. With tears flowing while saying 'sorry' many times, she slashed them to death.
After everyone was fallen on the ground lifelessly. She gets closer to the prey she chased and she sits on her knees and then gave the prey a lap pillow. With its head on her lap, she starts caressing the person's hair.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I…I'm sorry, Kou…"
Many times saying its name, but cannot be heard. The person, the prey she's calling was indeed already gone since she's the one who killed him.
