Chereads / Yakuza's Daughter's Bodyguard / Chapter 3 - Your Bodyguard.

Chapter 3 - Your Bodyguard.

"Uh..."

The unexpected just happened. Junko, confused by Shun who's choking the life out of Akaboshi seconds ago, is apologizing to her.

"Just...just stay away from me." Junko, flustered, quickly left the roof with her belongings. Nene and Akaboshi followed her, leaving Shun all by himself.

'What the hell is wrong with him? First look and he's ready to kill Minami. Then he just apologized without much complain.'

Trying her hardest to ignore the boy throughout the day, Junko goes into study mode. But both her friends know that she's struggling just like they are. Akaboshi turned to see Shun, still eyeing on Junko again.

'I'll make sure to pay you back for it. Just you wait.' Tightening his fist in frustration, Akaboshi hates the fact that he yield to Shun just by the mere grip on his wrist alone. He's always been the competitive type, so losing isn't something he tolerate well.

Nene noticed this, smack his head with her ruler, gaining his attention.

"Don't lose your focus. Class is still in progress." And so he did, turning to face the front again.

After the school bell rang, signaling the end of the day, Junko quickly packed her stuffs, ready to leave.

"So, I'll see you two tomorrow." Waving at Nene and Akaboshi, but she managed to steal some glances from Shun, who's quietly packing his items as well. Then Junko wasted no time in running out from school grounds.

After some distance away from school, she puts her hand towards her own chest.

"What the hell? How is it not fading away yet? Could there be something more sinister to come than just Kurono?" Deep into her thought, she didn't know that she's crossed the red sign.

*HONK!! HONK!!!!

An incoming truck pulled the emergency brake, honking at the same time, snapping Junko out from her mind. Within the close distance, she was barely saved from the oncoming vehicle after a powerful force tackled her to the side.

Junko, still dazy, sits up. Then her eyes gone wide looking at her savior in the form of Kurono Shun. He's the one that pushed her to safety.

"Are you alright?"

He offered her his hand. But instead of taking it, Junko stands up by herself.

"Hey! It's dangerous you!" The truck driver exit his vehicle, goes over to the two.

"Watch where you're going! I swear kids these days ar-"

"You got a problem?"

Shun turned towards the driver, seemingly pissed. Even if the driver is isn't scolding him.

"I'm terribly sorry." Junko bowed down her head. "It's my fault that this dangerous encounter happened. Please, forgive me."

The truck driver was about to say something but Shun's gaze is putting him off.

"Jus...just be careful next time!" He shouted after backing away to his vehicle. Lifting her head, she face Shun.

"Why are you here?"

No answer.

"Did you followed me?"

"Yes..." Shun replied, but that's not a good answer.

"And you admit you're a stalker?" Junko crossed her arms, giving him an angry look.

"Look, Kurono was it? I'm grateful for you saving my life just now. But if you think that heroic act of yours is going to changed my mind, think again." She points her finger dead in front of his face.

"Stop following me. Or I'll have to report you to the authority." Junko, closed her eyes, let out a big sigh before turning. She sneakily turned back to see that, Shun is currently on the phone, speaking to someone. But his feet are glued to the spot.

'Now or never.'

Junko immediately rushed back to her house, going full throttle. She's not a runner, but can be fast when she want to.

Reaching the back door, she went inside and closed it hard. She laid her back against the door, panting hard, trying to catch her breath.

"Welcome home!!!" The Shiryuu members welcome her back, but one of them noticed her behavior.

"Missy. What's wrong? You look tired."

"None of your business. At ease. I'm going to the shower." She brushed off their concern and quickly went inside.

"Yeah. Nothing a nice, warm shower couldn't fix." Junko is enjoying the warm shower in the bathroom. Just minutes in, her mind went back to Kurono Shun once again.

'You bastard. I wouldn't have to deal with the driver if it wasn't for you. But he's on his phone after that. Could it be that he's calling for his imbeciles friend!?' The girl does have ways with her mind.

Reaching out for the shampoo, she accidentally knocked it over instead.

"It seems that your superstition is spot on again." Nene's word started ringing inside her head.

'Okay. Don't tell me he followed me all the way here.' After a not so relaxing shower, Junko put on her casual clothes and make her way back to her room. Until.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Her scream echoed around the whole area. The Shiryuu gang members all rushed inside to check on her.

"Missy!"

"What's going on!?"

"Are you hurt!?"

"Did you see a ghost!?"

Some of them are armed with the likes shovel, hammer, etc.

Junko pointed her fingers at the cause of her outburst, currently standing in the hallway of her house.

"This freaking stalker followed me all the way here!!" The rest turned towards Shun, who's calm at the accusation. Too calm.

"Oi!! You brat." They walked over to him with threatening stomps.

"You dare step inside the den of Shiryuu. This is your unlucky day."

"Count your breath cause it'll be your last any moment." Grabbing him by the collar, the member raised his hammer.

"Any last words?"

"You breath stinks."

"What-"

*Thud!!!

Shun delivered a hard punch to his face, sending him down on the floor. The dude just got KO.ed by the stalker.

"You bastard!!"

"I'll show you!!"

Armed and ready to fight, the rest raised their weapons in hands.

"What's going on?"

"Sato!"

Sato Yukima, the most trusted member in te Shiryuu group, who's also known as number two, arrived at the scene.

"Sato-san! This brat followed Missy all the way here. And he just knocked Reiji out."

"We got this from here. You don't have to dirty your hands with this one."

Sato looked at Reiji, who's covering his bleeding nose with his hand, then at Shun.

"I delivered as promised." Shun speaks up, catching everyone by surprise, including Junko.

"Very well. Kiba, Aiba."

"Yes!" Two of the members straighten themselves after Sato called them out.

"Bring Kurono to the boss's room. Tell him I'll be there shortly."

"Understood!"

"Come on brat."

Shun gives Sato a bow before following the two.

"Reiji, go patch yourself up. The rest, return to your assigned duty." Just like that, the members follow his order and disappeared from the scene. Sato turned towards the confused Junko.

"How did you know his name is Kurono?" She questioned the number two in the group.

"Kurono Shun is tasked with being your bodyguard starting today."

"Says who!?" Junko doesn't like this one but.

"The boss of course."
