Chapter IV

It's early dusk.

I'm supposed to meet Yuzuki at the hotel again because he's going on dinner with his brother. The usually busy street of the hotel is strangely quiet today.

Walking down the street, i felt a hand on my shoulder and i was pulled around, hard.

"Hey~pretty girl~" ugh, it's some drunk dude, he stinks of alcohol.

Lillie: ('o′)凸 "I wouldn't keep on doing that if i were you."

Drunk: "Come on, we can spend some time together..."

I knocked him by the temple, hard. "Ouch," i say smirking. "you!" he says as he pulled out a knife. This dude is crazy.

Of course i beat him to the crust, but he stabbed me on the arm.... I watch blood drip down my arm. This is nothing compared to the amount of blood i've seen... but.... I'm starting to get a little dizzy at the loss of blood.

Looking up, I see Yuzuki just walking out of the hotel. "Yuzuki!" i yell out to him. He looked at me, had a shocked expression on his face, and quickly rushed over. I closed my eyes.

"Ha! Take this!" he runs towards me, knife in hand. I raise my blade as well. Splash. Another life killed. Fresh red blood poured all over my legs and i didn't even bother to look at it.

"Hey! Wake up!" I open my eyes to see Yuzuki's face. "You a'ight?" he asks, "you were flipping around and frowning in your sleep."

I was in a big, soft bed. Turning my head, i see that my injured arm was bandaged and well-treated. "Arigato, Yuzuki." I smile, "how long was i out?"

"Your welcome. About all night, it's 9 at the next day, now." he states, frowning slightly.

Lillie: "sorry for the trouble." I sit up on the bed, i feel much better now.

Yuzuki: "How'd you get like that?"

Lillie: "Some drunk dude tried to take me away, after i hit him he raised a knife and before i can fully beat him up he stabbed me." I say in a normal voice as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

He just looked at me, wide eyed: "are all Black Foxes that tough?"

I suddenly shot up. I've forgotten about that! They've gotta be mad!

Lillie: "Yuzu, sorry that i was in the way of everything including your dinner with Satsuki and thanks for everything but i gotta go!"

Yuzuki: "Well you're greatful." he mumbled as i dash out.

LRN was a complete mess when i got in. Only the BFs are there, as usual. But Takuto was furiously typing on his computer, sweating; Riki paced around making phone calls; the others aren't there and boss was basically breathing through a paper bag.

"Guys?" I say trying to compress my laughter. The second they saw me, long breaths of relief were heard around the bar. Takuto came up and hugged me close. Eh? I stood there confused, is this how these people express anger?

Then, Kenshi and Hiro came in from the door, just saying, "still no sight of--" when they also see me, everybody rushed up and formed a big circle of embraces.

Hiro: "Lillie, where were you?! We were worried sick!"

Lillie: "You were... worried? About me?"

Takuto: "Duh! You idiot!" despite his words, he didn't let go of me.

Kenshi: "at least you're back now."

Riki: "Kuin, you're gonna tell us exactly what happened out there."

~~

Huh, there are actually still people left who cares about my existence. Other than the mafia.

"...WHO saved you?"

Lillie: "Yuzuki Kitaoji. Y'know, that actor i was--"

Riki: "Yes i know him. How'd you explain, though?"

I didn't get the chance to say anything when the door was pushed open. Boss must've forgotten to lock down. "Oh, we're not open." i say as i turn around, only to see Yuzuki, Ryoichi and Mirai standing there.

Mirai grinned, "told ya i could find it."

Ryoichi: "you're one hell of a hacker. You could make a great police."

Lillie: "What're you guys doing here?"

Mirai sulks slightly at my reaction, "you seem so unfazed... this is no fun."

Yuzuki: "so this is you Black Foxes' headquarters, eh?"

~~

Riki: "You WHAT?!"

Lillie: "Geez it's no need to scream."

THAT, is how Riki reacted after i explain the whole thing to everyone. "How do you even think these people are trustable?" Hiro says. "They value they're lives." I say with an innocent smile. Everybody sweatdrops.

Yuzuki: "Anyway..."

Mirai: "we're not gonna tell."

These people became fast friends. Except Takuto and Ryoichi, they seem more like rivals for some reason.

That night, i share the bed with Takuto again, since he's supposed to be guarding me.

"Takuto?" I ask when i see an uneasy look on his face.

Takuto: "that guy...he was looking at you with a weird look in his eyes."

Lillie: "(⊙o⊙)?you mean Ryoichi Hirose?"

Takuto: "uh-huh, I'm gonna write a bunch of nasty reviews of his books online!" he sounded serious.

"Uh..." writing bad reviews for his novels? What a childish way to get back at him....

"I'm going to hack in his computer and erase all data before his deadline." oh my god. I think as i can literally see bolts of lightning in Takkun's eyes.

I manage to keep Takuto promise he wouldn't recklessly do things like that, soon night falls over me.

Black Fox's POV

I can't believe she let us out.

But you've gotta admit, she didn't turn wrong. Those are pretty decent and good guys.

BS. That weird guy kept on ogling at her.

Aww, Takkun you're getting jealous over her!

Shut up!

But are you sure this is okay? I mean if they can even take one picture of us, our lives would be over.

I trust her.

What?

I trust her instincts and herself.

Ooh, somebody's got a crush~~

*face palm*
