XII. Always with you

Leo appeared at his back and smacked his face, throwing me off ground

"Kyouri, are you alright?" He rushes to me and offered his hand

I immediately grabed on to him and hugged him tight, my tears flowing down my cheeks uncontrollably, wailing my heart out

"What did you do?" Leo asked the strange and malicious man

The man stood still, gazing at Leo

"You must be Leo... no.

You're one of those monsters!" The man said, wiping blood off his face

"Kyouri, run as far as you can. I'll come find you after i beat the sh*t out of this guy"

He flicked my forehead. And then immediately, i felt a warm sensation on my forehead

I nodded, wiped my tears and run as fast as i could

"Such a waste of a beauty" he pouted

"She's got quite the flavour, her skin was so smooth!"

Leo's fist tightened

"And her chest, so soft and delicate." he licked the tips of his own fingers

"Oh, she's just so perfect-"

"You bastard!" Leo sent the man crashing into a wall

The man just laughed

"You're really missing out. You can't just let a beauty like that waste away untasted" he said, on his knees.

"By the way, it's my turn to attack" he smiled

Leo then felt a strange sensation all over his body, suddenly he was slammed on the ground

"What the-" Leo started coughing blood

"My body absorbs fifty-percent of any damage inflicted to me" he said

"And the other fifty is reflected back to the enemy"

He then started to laugh menacingly

"Even a monster like you wouldn't be able to kill me!"

"So, it's just the two of us i guess. Since i stopped time." He walked slowly towards Leo who was on the ground

"I can manipulate time, and space. Only within a ten kilometers"

"So what?"

Leo said, slowly standing up

"So what? Nobody would be able to come help you!" He exclaimed

"Which is a good thing."

He grabbed Leo's sleeve and struck him in the face with his fist

"Although, if i were to hit you, the damage won't bounce back to me."

He continued to smack him until Leo dropped on the ground

The man placed his boot on Leo's head, nearly crushing it.

"Any last words, you God-awful monster?"

Leo smiled

"Yes.

Now, Kyouri!"

I sprinted towards the ugly man and stabbed him in the chest with a rapier, shining in an aura of the golden sun

"W-what the!?" He said, chocking in his own blood

With a great surging feeling of hope pumping in my heart, i pushed the sword deeper into his chest

"You dont deserve it..."

"I don't deserve... my power?"

"No"

He tried to pull the sword off, but fails

"You don't deserve to be a man"

He once more tried to take the sword off with his final breaths, then finally let's go.

The sword dissapeared. And the man dropped on the ground... lifeless.
