Don't Leave, I Need You

Chapter 49

Shai walked down the streets and had a smile on her face. She was happy which was odd for her since she just found out that Himeko had a fiance. Shai laughed and moved around as if she were drunk or high on drugs or something like that. She was even mumbling a lullaby that her father used to sing to her when she was a kid. Shai stopped by the alley and leaned against the brick wall. After a few minutes Kang came out of the alley
"Hey Shai. You're here" Kang said
"Of course. I mean you said I'll be meeting the whole family" Shai said
"Follow me" Kang said. Shai followed Kang inside the alley and they stopped
"It looks like a dead end..." Shai said
"Is it?" Kang asked and snapped his fingers. The brick wall opened up like a door and Kang went inside. Shai tilted her head for a moment before entering inside the entrance. Shai walked down the hallway and arrived at a big room
"Eh? What's this?" Shai asked looking around. The people that were sitting down looked up and immediately got up
"Hey! Is that her?"
"Woah so she really does look like him?"
"It's really him..."
The people walked up to her surrounding her which made Shai really uncomfortable
"H-hey stop!" Shai said and the group just backed up and stood up straight
"Sorry ma'am" They all said and bowed down. Shai just stared at them and noticed a girl
"Diane Tisna! Get up!" Kang ordered
"W-woah! Sorry sir!" Diane exclaimed and stood up joining the group and bowed down
"U-uhm you guys really shouldn't bow down. I mean I'm not that important" Shai said
"Shai you are our leader's daughter. You have his blood running through your veins. We must show respect to you. You are our leader now" Kang said and bowed down with the others
"H-huh? Oh Hehe o-okay" Shai said
"And forgive her. She's new to our group. Introduce yourself" Kang said
"O-oh I'm Diane Tisna. It's nice to meet you Shai Okogi" Diane said and blushed a bit. Shai looked at her and smiled
"Hehe a pleasure to meet you Diane" Shai said
"Wow...you really do look like him. You look like him so much..." Diane said and held Shai's hands
"H-huh?" Shai asked
"I'm so glad to meet you in person. I am forever grateful for what your father did for me" Diane said
"Wh-what did he do?" Shai asked
"He saved my life..." Diane said
Flashback
"D-don't hurt me no more...pl-please..." Diane cried and trembled as she covered herself
"What a worthless girl...you're worse than your mother" He said and slapped her. Diane fell down to the ground and cried
"Shut up you little bitch!" He shouted as he raised his hand once again but a light appeared and the man was knocked down. A white haired man appeared wearing a mask with glowing blue eyes. Diane whimpered and trembled as she saw the mysterious masked man. The man just turned to look at the girl and removed his mask. He smiled and kneeled down. Diane trembled and backed up
"Hey don't worry. I won't hurt you. I came here to save you" He said
"Wh-why? I-I don't know y-you... " Diane said
"It's okay. I don't know you either" He said
"Th-then why did you save me?" Diane asked
"Because I understand your pain...I've been through what you've been through. Getting beaten up by my father and my mother abandoning me..." He said
"R-really?" Diane asked
"Yes. What is your name?" He asked
"I-I'm Diane...Diane Tisna" Diane said. The man smiled and patted her head softly
"I'm Shailung Okogi" Shailung said and smiled. Diane looked at his crystal blue eyes and smiled
"Th-thank you sir" Diane said as she teared up
End Of Flashback
"W-wow...he really did that?" Shai asked
"Mhm and I thanked him so much for saving me back there. I won't ever forget him and it's a huge honor to meet his daughter" Diane said and smiled at her
"U-uhm that's great" Shai said and smiled back as she blushed a bit
"That's quite enough Diane. I think you can let go of her hand now" Kang said
"A-ah! Yes! Sorry!" Diane said letting go of Shai's hands
"Hehe it's fine" Shai said smiling softly. Diane nodded and blushed deeply. Shai just looked at her and smiled
Guess this isn't so bad...hmmm? I'm forgetting something right? Oh...right...Momokino...
"Hm? Hey Kang...can we talk for a bit about something?" Shai asked
"Huh? Of course" Kang said. Shai walked away from the group with Kang following her from behind. Shai stopped and sighed deeply
"Is there something wrong Shai?" Kang asked
"Hmm...did my father order you guys to kill?" Shai asked
"Huh? Of course he did. He only told us to help out and he'd clean up his mess. Why you ask?" Kang asked
"Because..." Shai paused and looked at him as he crystal blue eyes glowed a bit and wore a smile on her face
"There is someone I must kill...hehe" Shai giggled
