Chapter 5 A fateful Encounter?

Crash!

The loud crash snapped me out of my thoughts as I looked up to see the lady before me finished her kick on unnamed thug #1.

Her silky smooth, long leg lingered in the air for a moment and I caught a glimpse of a small shiny white dagger strapped to her thigh.

But more importantly, her thighs were heavenly. I think I could die happy if those things crushed me.

"Here." She said as she offered her hand to me.

I quickly wiped the drool off of my chin and accepted the help.

As I clasped her hand I noticed a slim golden ring on her right index finger with small writing on it.

Hoh? now this is very interesting.

I smiled to myself.

"Say, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?" I asked.

She looked me up and down for a moment before nodding to herself.

"You're lucky you're just about cute enough for me to not kick your ass for saying that. I work here."

"So you think I'm cute? Gosh, you're gonna make me blush!"

I can only assume she rolled her eyes as she scoffed. Unfortunately I still couldn't see her face as she still had her hood up.

"Well anyway, here is your money back, I assume those pricks stole this from you?" I asked her as I handed her the money I collected from the bag.

She slowly grabbed the bag and seemingly counted the coins.

"Hmmm, maybe you're not so bad after all." She seemed impressed I didn't try to steal any.

I was more impressed she remembered the exact about in that bag. I tried to say something else.

"Is that so, well then maybe I could ma-"

I was swiftly interrupted. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING??!"

An old man entered from stage right screaming in my direction.

I once again pointed at myself and asked. "Me?"

"NO NOT YOU! THE BRAT BESIDE YOU!"

The girl beside me pointed to herself mirroring my own actions. "Me?"

"Pfft~" I laughed, she was pretty funny.

I could see the old man was about to blow his top as his screams only got louder.

"YES YOU! WHO THE FUCK ELSE WOULD I BE TALKING TO??"

""Him/Me."" Both me and the girl beside me said in unison as we pointed in my direction.

"ARRGH JUST SHUT IT! NO ONE ASKED YOU ANYWAY!!"

The girl leaned into my ear. "He just asked me right? I'm not going insane?"

I nodded. "Yeah he just asked you. I think you're fine."

"Umu, good."

"FUCKING SHUT UP! JUST GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY AND GET THE FUCK OUT! YOU'RE FIRED!!"

""...eh??"" We both asked.

Doesn't this like, work perfectly for me? It really is a blessed day.

All hail our lord and saviour king Gabriel!

The girl asked in a panicked voice. "W-what? W-why am I fired?? I need this job, old man! You can't just kick me out for no reason."

"NO REASON? YOU JUST KICKED A CUSTOMER IN THE FACE!"

"Urrggghh…." Thug #1 let out a low groan from the other side of the street as if to illustrate the point.

"B-but he was stealing! I just took the money back! I didn't do anything wrong!" The girl justified. She was completely right, usually I would have spoke up, but I had my reasons not to this time.

"I DON'T CARE! EVEN IF HE DID TRY TO STEAL YOU DIDN'T NEED TO KICK HIM LIKE THAT!"

"W-wait, he was trying to hurt this civilian! I was just saving him!" She pointed at me.

"BULLSHIT! HE DOESN'T HAVE A SCRATCH ON HIM! BESIDES, I'M DONE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT SARCASM AND STUPID JOKES, GET THE FUCK OUT!"

Slam!

He slammed the door in our faces.

I felt a very fierce piercing glare to my right. Was that bloodlust?!

I slowly turned to the girl beside me.

"Umm, sorry I got you fired?" I asked.

The shadow over her eyes suddenly had two purple circles appear in it sending a deadly gaze in my direction.

Geh. Is that killing intent?!?!

I slowly took a step back and raised my hands in order to try and placate her rage.

"Uhh, umm, let's just talk about this, what do you say we take a deep breath?" I desperately pleaded for what seemed like my own life.

I heard a huff from her as she drew in closer to me.

She placed her index finger on my shoulder and then her middle finger landed slightly above that. I could see a playful and forced smile on her face, yet still couldn't see any other part of her face as he hood was still over her eyes.

She walked her fingers up my arm and to my face. My heart rate increasing with each and every small step. She finally stopped her hand right by my face and grabbed my hood, violently ripping it off and revealing my muddy face and hair.

I could see a dangerously seductive smile grace her lips as she saw my face. She got on her toes, leaned her head in really close and whispered into my ear.

"You really are lucky you're so hot, otherwise I wouldn't be so nice."

She lightly bit my ear before walking away behind me like nothing happened.

My heart was pounding out of my chest right now and I had only one question on my mind.

Why was that so fucking hot?
