Hunters?! Geez...what else could go wrong?!
At the mention of moving on, aditi slinked away, probably to scout ahead in order to track us again.
Everyone was thrown into a sort of panic at that moment but i stood still and just listened.
"uh, kasumi-sama," tamostsu said uneasily as he threw nervous glances around the clearing, "maybe we should start moving?"
I just stood there. There were several gunshots but i singled out aditis annoying voice near them and ignored that area. She wouldnt stand for hunters and theyd soon be dead.
But somewhere nearer, i heard ariel and a mans voice. Her breathing seemed panicked. That might be trouble.
I opened my eyes and threw a glance at tamotsu then took off toward ariel.
I raced through the trees and knocked out a few hunters along the way. Tamotsu was close behind and had whipped out his Achilles chain.
There was a large and muscular man who had bound ariel and pinned her to the ground. She tried to look brave but her wild eyes betrayed her.
I had seen ariel kick butt before so how had this guy gotten her?! They definately knew each other.
I launched myself at the man and tackled him off ariel. He pulled out a gun but a chain flew past me and knocked it out of his hand.
He threw me off easily but i soon flipped around to face him. I wouldnt be able to tackle him again and there were more voices coming. Tamotsu wasnt near ariel because he had gone to retrieve the gun from the man.
I pulled out Anuklusmos and brandished it at the hunter. He began to make a circle so he would be nearer to ariel and i couldnt run at him because i knew he had a knife. I was also stuck if i threw my sword at him because if he dodged, i would kill ariel.
So i did the only logical option. I threw my sword at ariel.
It sliced thriugh her bonds perfectly but the man brought out a gun. I had been wrong for once!
The voices behind us grew louder and ariels hands were still bound. I looked for tamotsu but he had vanished!
The man laughed at me and ariel, "you just lost!"
Right as he shot the bullet at ariel, i jumped and let it hit my shoulder.
"kasumi!" cried ariel but i ignored her and faced the man.
"bravery will get you nowhere," he laughed at me.
I said nothing and glared at him. He aimed again but i raised my sword and stabbed his gut.
"im sorry ariel," i said and pulled out my sword, fainting.
After a while, i woke up to see ariel standing over me.
"what happened?" i asked.
"he got away," she sighed.
