Part 23 : Bully

"Why did you do it?" Akira asked Amaya while they were walking down the street.
"What?" Amaya asked back inocently.
"Stop being so fake okay?? You took his pain! Why?" Akira asked frowning.

"My choice." she replied. Amaya suddnly stopped. "Oh.. You're jealous.." she said sarcarstically.
"Hah. You wish." Akira said.

"Okay. We'll separate here. I've to go somewhere. Bye." Akira said.
"Bye."

They went separate ways.

"Hm.. Guess I'll be wandering a while alone." Amaya sighed to herself as she walked on slowly.
"Oh.. You wouldn't be alone. We're here to accompany you if you want to." a voice came from behind her.

Amaya turned. Kenji?!

Kenji and his gang were behind her. Not really a big gang, just 5 of them but enough to wreck a shop.

"What'd you want?" Amaya asked, feeling not to good about the situation.
"Oh nothing. Just bored so we thought we should find you to get some fun." Kenji explained grinning.

Fun?!

"We heard you fight well, so why not show it?" Kenji laughed.
"No thanks. I'm off." Amaya said and turned around to continue her walk.

One of the boys went in front of her and kneed her stomach very hardly.

"ARGGHH!!" she yelled and fell to her knees.
"Hahaha.. Come on!!! Show us what you've got!" Kenji laughed.

Blood started flowing out from her mouth.

"I told you I'm not fighting anymore!" Amaya glared at Kenji.
"Does that mean anything to me?" he asked her mockingly.

Amaya wobbled to her feet. Her stomach ached badly. She just recovered from the pain she hold for Kazuki and now this.

Her sight became blur. Come on eyes, not now! If you blur I'll be gone! she told herself.

Suddenly something whacked her on the head.

"Argh!!" she fell to the floor again.

Blood was oozing out from her forehead.

Kenji and his friends laughed at Amaya's state. One of them was holding the metal stick he used to hit her.

Amaya took the chance when they weren't concentrating and started dashing away.

"HEY!!! SHE'S GETTING AWAY!!!" Kenji shouted. They started chasing after her.

She couldn't see quite well and wobbled as she ran. She took a random turn into an alley.

"Crap! This is Kaze's alley!" She wanted to turn back out but the boys were chasing after her.

Suddenly, she had gossebumps. Kaze!! she thought as she passed by a figure. She tripped and fell. Amaya didn't care to open her eyes anymore.

"AAHHHHH!!!"

Yells were heard.

Amaya opened her eyes slowly. "Wha-?"

Kenji and his friends were lying on the floor. There was blood all over. Kenji trembled and ran away with his friends.

"Wh-why help me?" Amaya asked panting hardly. A shiver came on her as she felt Kaze approaching her.

"Do I have any grivances towards you now?" Kaze asked back.

He knelt down next to her. He put his hand on her forehead. His hand started glowing yellow. Amaya could stand the pain because she went through this before.

"Thanks." she said, unsure of what was happening.

Kaze spun upwards to the top of the wrecked building. Amaya kept looking up. That's VERY weird.
