Toman's Black Cat

Y'n's POV

After Chifuyu left, I leaned against the door for the longest time. I thought about everything I'd experienced being in this world, all the people I'd met, and how things hadn't turned out how I had hoped they would.

I let out a heavy sigh as I tried to sift through my thoughts, only to have them start disappearing. I am getting the feeling that it isn't because of stress or fatigue.

I opened the door again and walked out. I walked straight to the tree I had designated as my hiding spot. I grabbed the gear I could still use efficiently and began doing a little recon.

It's the middle of the night. Deliquents are gonna be out in full force. I have to somehow get ahead of what's coming.

I poured over the few memories I had of the coming events, when I remembered two I had forgotten to thank.

Well….better now than never.

I slipped my jacket on and made my way toward Roppongi. I had made some changes to the way it looks as well as to what it can hold and where. I began running pretend conversations through my head on the way, having to start over and over again every time I imagined saying something wrong and getting a beat down from either one or both of them

A beat down didn't seem completely possible, but it also didn't seem completely impossible either.

Maybe if I ask for their help first, it could prevent at least some of the things that are supposed to happen. If it doesn't….

I shook off the thought as I kept going forward.

****

I spent most of the night walking throughout Roppongi and came to a very valuable conclusion:

Two guys rule this whole dang place??? THIS PLACE IS FREAKING HUGE!

"Hey kid! Whatcha doin out here?"

Crap.

I came to a very cautious stop as I looked in the direction of the voice only to see three monster sized jerks stalking toward me.

Can I seriously never catch a break!?!?!? I'm gonna die!

Thankfully my jacket covered any and all feminine features, but I'd have to be cunning since I still have a little bit of a limp. Which is why I had moved my bo staff into a spot I could reach a lot faster. One side up each sleeve.

It's still dark, but as long as it's just these three, I have a chance.

Hearing a sudden noise right behind me, I jumped to my left only to still take a hit into my side that sent me to my knees.

How the frick does Takemitchy deal with this all the time? Dude is consistently taking beatings and doesn't die, but I feel like I friggin might!

"Hey, your jacket looks kinda familiar…"

While they took time to think about it, I had leaned over while still on my knees like I was trying to catch my breath, when I was actually moving my staffs to my hands. As soon as they were within beating distance, I made quick and calculated movements to hit all of them as quickly as possible.

A quick snap to click my bo staff back into one piece, I stood and performed a circular swing of the staff that allowed me to hit all of them in a matter of seconds. This only caused them to back up a little in pain, as well as surprise.

Apparently it wasn't quite enough to do real damage, but still enough to give me time to..RUN!

"He's running! GET HIM!"

I sprinted as fast as my legs allowed only to feel something solid to hit me square in the back, sending me crashing into the pavement.

I didn't even get that far…FREAKING OW!

Without giving me the chance to prepare myself for fighting back or even moving, I felt a boot land on my back.

The jerk applied pressure exactly where I had been hit, making me incapable of letting out a pained scream. The jerk started laughing, but I couldn't hear what he was saying as everything began to fade. I felt myself drifting, but as my eyes began to close, I saw some guy with pigtails just a few steps away.

I let out a pained chuckle before saying one last thing and allowing myself to drop into darkness, "I found you….Ran…"
