"Sakura! I told you to get back home and cook me some food as well as throw the trash that is piled up now!"
That voice belonged to shinji matou. Ford frowned, he was sure now that what sakura was going through was abuse.
"O-Onii-san!?"
"I knew you be here come lets go you got worked to do!"
Shinji tried to grab her wrist forcefully. For it to be stopped by Ford who grabbed his wrist first.
"Hey! Who are you grabbing sakura like that"
Shinji didn't like where this was going showing displeasure and anger.
"Just someone who can see that this girl isn't in a bright situation"
"You should mind your own business lets go sakura"
He sneered not liking this man interfering with his possession.
'I was going to have my way with her today but this bastard! Is in my way'
Shinji had lecherous thoughts of assaulting his sister tonight. Knowing how much he gotten to see how submissive she is in listening to him. He thought maybe he can take a step further. But this nuisance of man was pissing him off.
"I'll let you know you're messing with the wrong person....I'll have your family dead"
A sinister smile appeared on Shinji's face his eyes looking down on Ford.
"Oh really?...Hmm~"
Sakura was scared of what would her brother do to the man. Not wanting to put him in danger she tried to escape from his grasp.
"L-Let me go, I don't want you in danger my family is dangerous!"
'How sweet'
Ford maintained his grip not trying to harm her. Shinji smiled how sakura was going to escape on her own. Ford frowned at looking at the gaze Shinji had. It seemed he might just stumbled in the start of sakura's madness.
"No you're coming with me"
Sakura eyes widened feeling that he wasn't letting go. She struggled but to no avail he was strong. Shinji was furious and he went to punch Ford. Only to be met with his face on the ground.
"I know who you're shinji someone who can't even use magic"
Shinji's eyes widened in shock like the man knew him. He shivered as his tone was laced with cold and dangerous intent.
"An abuser jealous of their sister....fret not I'll take her from your hands"
Releasing his killing intent shinji paled as he was being confronted by death. Beads of sweat trickled from his face. As he got up quickly and left and saying couple of words before leaving.
"You bastard I'll be back! your dead when, I see you!"
Sakura didn't know what he said to Shinji but she saw him scaring him. Ford turned and smile at her.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't help step in....that brother of yours abused you?"
Sakura put her head down trying not to answer. Holding tightly the edges of her skirt.
"Sakura...I might be a random person right now but, I know what is happening already"
This fate of hers wasn't something he would let slide. Placing his hand on her chin to lift it up. Sakura started to slowly cry. Has her prayers been heard? Was he her savior from this terrible madness? She was scared of what's becoming of her and the treatment she is receiving from everyone being her family.
Not even the boy she just started to take interest knew of her situation.
"Come, I'll ease that pain of yours as a pretty girl like you shouldn't cry"
Ford pulled a cloth and wiped her tears as she kept looking at his gently smile. Ford hugged her gently as she froze from this. A random man who she didn't know was helping her. A problem that didn't involve him.
She hugged back silently burying her head on his chest.

At a small apartment that he pretty much bought because he was rich as fuck. His treasury that he had were his earnings he gained in his world. Though some were "stolen" but it was for the greater cause. He was broke at the time and stealing from but nobles was a nice quest.
Currently, Ford had sakura sleeping on his lap as he stroked her lovely violet hair. She was defenseless as she let her guard down to a stranger like him. It's been so long since he could feel a sense of freedom. Always being cold because of rising tensions in his old world. The only one he truly cared about was his sister and someone else. They went through thick and thin in life.
That world was dangerous filled with powerful people/beings. Though, he almost reached the pinnacle of strength. He needed a breakthrough and he would be so strong that gods, godslayers and any other race being no one would be able to defeat him.
'I do wish to pay my respects'
Remembering the death of someone he called brother. Probably the only one he respected in that world aside from his sister.
Silent was the room as he had her on the bed covering her with a blanket.
The parasitic worms that zouken put inside of her was there.
"[Purify]"
His hand glowed on her head as he purified what consumed her inside. As well as healing her bruises.
