18 Moves on the stranger

Kahoru felt something was not right. First it was someone following her, next a strange phone call.

Was she being targeted?

She sat on the bed in a daze until Takahiro walked out of the bathroom. Takahiro spotted her completely out of it and walked in front of her. Still, she did not notice.

He kneeled in front of her and looked her in the eye. She seemed terrified. Something seemed strange since she hopped into the car earlier.

The boss lifted his right arm and his hand moved to her forehead. She still had not noticed.

Flick!

"Ow!"

Kahoru reacted to the sudden pain and covered her forehead.

"What did you do that for?" She glared at the man in front of her. He had flicked her forehead. Takahiro gazed at her for a moment and stood up and walked out the door.

Kahoru still in her bed, was baffled. She was confused. Why didn't he say anything and just left her?

Again the phone rung. It was the unknown number again.

"Um... hello?"

"Meet me at Shibuya in an hour or else your family is going to die. And do not bring anybody with you." The phone went silent.

"What? H-hello?"

How did they get her number and why was he threatening her with her family? Kahoru knew she had to go. She did not want her family to get involved. She gripped her hands so tight that her knuckles turned white.

She quickly changed into ripped denim jeans and a plain black hoodie. Her long hair was tied in a mid ponytail.

She ran downstairs to the entrance, grabbed her backpack and quickly put her white sneakers on and ran to the security gates.

Kahoru sped to the bus stop and took the train to Shibuya station. What could that man possibly want?

Vrr, vrr!

As she waited for her stop, her phone vibrated. Kahoru's face was tense. The strange person had sent her a text. It told her to meet at the texted location.

Kahoru had an idea about what was going to happen, yet she was surprisingly calm about it. Although, she was not happy about her family getting involved.

She got off the train and sprinted to the location. It was an underground bar. It looked a little sketchy, but she walked straight in.

The bar was like a normal bar. The interior was all red. Kahoru walked to the stools that were not occupied. She sat there and listened to jazz music playing in the background.

"Heya miss! What would you like tonight?"

The bartender asked. He seemed to be a little bit older than Kahoru.

"Shochu on the rocks please."

"Shochu? We've got a strong drinker over here." He chuckled.

"Mm." Kahoru did not talk after that. She remained silent and was aware about her surroundings. Then a middle aged man had sat to her.

He was big and reeked of alcohol. He wore a crumpled suit and his tie was crooked.

"Hey~, sexy mama, ya wanna dwink with meh?"

Kahoru faces the bar and had completely ignored the man. The man was bewildered after Kahoru ignored him.

"Hey! Are you deaf? Why don't you reply to me?"

He then attempted to grab Kahoru's wrist. But he was stopped by a strong grip. It felt like his arm was going to into two!

"Ow! Let me go!"

"Tch." Kahoru clicked her tongue as she was annoyed. The atmosphere Kahoru kept that blended in with the crowd, had turned into an ice cold winter, she turned to face the perverted old man, her glare could stab daggers into his body.

He jolted and suddenly felt fearful of the woman next to him. She was someone who anyone could not mess around with. The man sunk back and quickly walked off rubbing his arm.

"How brave of you to fend for yourself, hehe."

Kahoru's gaze turned toward the man who spoke. He sat down on the spot the old man had sat. His whole outfit was black. His hair was closely shaved. He seemed to be in his mid thirties.

"What do you want? And how did you get me number?"

He gave a wry smile. He turned to gaze at the woman in the hoodie.

"Simple. You. You're so gorgeous I want to keep you locked up. I want to touch you all over. So come with me...before I kill your family. And your number? You do not need to know." He whispered seductively into her ears.

Kahoru almost wanted to throw up. How disgusting of this man for him to blackmail and threaten to slaughter her family.

"I want to do naughty things to you while you scream for help."

Kahoru placed the bill and cash on the counter and immediately stood up. She rushed outside. Of course the man followed her.

He followed her outside and once they turned a corner, he grabbed her wrist from behind.

"Where do you think you're going?" He smirked.

"You're the one who will be screaming for help."

"Huh?"

Kahoru escaped his grip and grabbed a hold of the stranger's wrist and twisted it.

"Argh! You piece of sh*t!"

She kicked the man in the groin and as he leaned, Kahoru put him in a headlock and took him down.

"You are under arrest for sexual assault, blackmailing and attempt of manslaughter."

Ka-chink!

Handcuffs were locked in around the man's wrists from the back. Kahoru took her badge out of her pocket and shoved the badge in his face.

"I am an undercover detective of public safety Of the Tokyo Metropolitan police department. Any further actions will get you tasered."

Kahoru's glare could freeze up the whole planet in a few seconds.

The man was terrified. How could this small woman be so strong?

Kahoru quickly made a call to the department. She had slightly let her guard down a bit. The man took the opportunity to tackle. He turned his body around and pushed Kahoru down onto the ground.

"Hehe, I got you now you b*tch!"

He laid on top of her pressing his body onto Kahoru.

"Sh*t!" Kahoru thought. He was too heavy for her to fight back. She then had an idea. Kahoru closed her eyes tightly and clenched her teeth.

As she was about to head butt the man, the weight on her body was gone.

She shot her eyes open. A tall figure stood and grabbed the arrested man by his upper arm, and punched him right in the face.

It was too dark to see who it was, but the man had just saved her a great deal of head pain.

Kahoru sat up and watched the mysterious man handle the pervert. From the way he had handled the older man, was he a detective too?

He punched the man quite a lot. Wasn't that overkill?

"W-Who are you you d*ckhead?" He tried to squirm out, but the handcuffs made it impossible.

The man's atmosphere turned cold. It seemed like he was furious. Kahoru instantly knew that aura. And her eye twitched.

"B-boss?"
