"N-never heard that name in my entire life" Shai said and looked away
I have to change the topic...and fast
"You live in the streets. You're suppose to know at least something about her disappearance" Himeko said
"Listen princess it's none of my business what happens out here. I only care for myself...and my family" Shai said mumbling the last part
"But...you don't understand...she is crazy. She's going to kill someone else and...and I want to stop her but...I'm scared...Mei might end up killing someone innocent and I don't want anyone to get hurt" Himeko said as tears built up in her eyes. Shai only gulped and trembled as she clenched her fists tightly
'She knows...kill her...we have to kill her. We just have to...'
"Shai?" Himeko asked. Shai sighed and turned around walking away
I shouldn't have met her...it would've been easier to kill her if I hadn't met her...
"Shai where the hell are you going?" Himeko asked
"Since when was I your bestie?" Shai asked as she looked at her with cold eyes
"Since when? Since you said you were my bestie" Himeko said
"Princess just leave..." Shai said
"Stop with the princess name!" Himeko said
"Then leave" Shai said as she glared at her
"Why the hell are you acting like this? When you were with me at my place you seemed...different but now that you're on the streets...you're acting like this?" Himeko asked. Shai stopped and sighed deeply
How will I get rid of this bitch?
"Go home princess before your family starts to worry. It's getting dark and it's dangerous being out here alone..." Shai said
"But why...are you acting like this? I must stop Mei. She is getting out of control all because of Aihara Yuzu" Himeko said. Shai's eyes widen and a strong headache came over her head. She groaned grabbing her head and trembled
"????-chan! Wait for me!"
"????-chan you're amazing!"
"Yu??"
"??zu"
"Shai!" Himeko said. Shai gasped and trembled as she looked around
"Wh-what the hell happened?" Shai asked and breathed a little heavily
"You started mumbling something. I tried to make you snap out of it" Himeko said
"O-oh...okay" Shai said rubbing her head softly
"What happened?" Himeko asked
"Nothing..." Shai said as she looked away
"...will you help me?" Himeko asked
"...I can't" Shai said as she looked away
"Why?" Himeko asked as she clenched her fists tightly and glared at her
"Go home princess" Shai said
"At least tell me why you act this way..." Himeko said
"It's none of your business...so just leave already" Shai said as she avoided eye contact by looking away
"Bitch..." Himeko mumbled before walking away. Shai only looked at her and sighed deeply looking down. Her eyes widen feeling a painful heartache and tears in her eyes. Shai reached to her eyes and trembled as she felt tears roll down her cheeks
Wh-what? Tears? I-I'm...crying...
Shai only clenched her chest tightly as she covered her face
Idiot...stop crying...you're not a little baby...stop...please...stop crying!
Shai's eyes widen and grabbed her head as she cried
Flashback
"Haha! Not so strong you pathetic asshole!" The man laughed. Shailung coughed out blood and wiped his mouth. He looked at the man and looked around him seeing the others
'Shit...this is getting dangerours...I might...not make it'
Shailung's eyes widen as all his opponents ran up to him attacking all at once. Shailung only glared at them with his blue eyes and laughed as he used all his energy fighting all the men
"Hahaha! Don't you dare mess with me!" Shailung laughed and stabbed the man's eye. He ducked down dodging the attack and lifted his leg kicking the others to the ground
"Run!" Shailung shouted. Suddenly a girl ran out of her hiding spot heading to safety
"What the hell?! Get that girl!" The man said but Shailung grabbed a knife then threw it at the man's throat. The man coughed out blood and fell to the ground. Shailung growled as he tackled the men and stabbed them all. Meanwhile the girl ran away from the place no looking back not until...
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Shai's eyes widen hearing gunshots and trembled. Tears rolled down her cheeks and ran back to the place. She stopped and looked around shaking. The men were gone and Shai ran up to her father who was on the ground
"D-dad?" Shai said and got closer. She trembled in fear seeing her father bleeding
"Dad...n-no...you can't..." Shai mumbled and cried. She shook his body and whimpered softly. Shai looked around the area and cried
'I-I'm all alone...'
Shai wiped her tears as she sat beside her dead father's body. She looked at her father and laid down next to him wrapping her arms around him. She cried softly and trembled. Suddenly a young man stepped in and Shai looked up trembling
"Don't h-hurt me..." Shai mumbled as tears rolled down her cheeks
"Don't worry Shai...I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to protect you and take you home..." He said
"Y-you are?" Shai asked
"I'm Kang Airosho" Kang said and kneeled down
"How can I tr-trust you?" Shai asked as she stepped back from him
"I'm your father's trusty friend. I promised him that I would take care of you..." Kang said. Shai only looked at him then turned to look at her father. She trembled and stood up from the ground
"O-okay...I trust you" Shai said as she wiped her tears
"Let's go home Shai Higashi" Kang said and patted her head softly
End Of Flashback
Shai was against the wall and trembling while tears rolled down her cheeks. She let out a growl and clenched her fists tightly
"They will pay...every last one of them" Shai hissed. Suddenly she spotted one of the gangsters and smiled
"What the hell are you doing here?" The man asked
"Yeah this is our territory you little bitch" His friend said
"You better leave before you get hurt...little girl" The other man said. Shai only stood in front of them and laughed softly. She looked up at them with her crystal blue eyes and smiling insanely. The guys flinched as they trembled in fear
"Hahaha! It's you guys who should be leaving before your asses get kicked" Shai said
"You think we're scared?" The man asked
"What can a girl like you do?" The other man asked. Shai smirked and pulled out her knife
"Come at me with all you've got. I will kill you" Shai said giggling softly

Luckily for Himeko, she got home safe and sound. She noticed a car out and groaned softly
Shit...I forgot about that. I thought it was going to be tomorrow morning...
Himeko stepped in seeing her father talking to an old woman and behind her stood her three grandsons
"Himeko you came just in time" Damon said as he smiled
"Why were you out this late?" Celeste asked as she walked up to Himeko
"I was visiting a friend..." Himeko said looking away
"Well you came in just in time to talk about your wedding" Damon said
"So you're Himeko Momokino? What a pleasure to meet a beautiful young girl" The woman spoke. A young man stepped up to her holding her hand and kissed it softly like a prince
"It's a pleasure to meet you Himeko" He said
"A pleasure to meet you too Omori" Himeko said. Omori was the oldest brother out of the two boys Taher and Zeke. Out of the blue a dog began to bark as he was sniffing Himeko
"Hey Toshio! Calm down!" Omori said as he grabbed him by the collar. Toshio only barked and barked
"Take him out" The old Higashi said. Taher and Zeke grabbed him taking him outside which was a big mistake. Once outside Toshio took off running
"Toshio!" Zeke shouted
"Come back!" Taher shouted
"What the hell is wrong with that mutt?" Mrs. Higashi said. Himeko's eyes widen as Pucchi barked running out the door
"P-pucchi! Come back!" Himeko shouted and ran after him
"These dogs are just wild" Damon said groaning
"Himeko!" Celeste said as she grabbed her
"B-but Pucchi! I can't let him run away!" Himeko said
"He'll find his way back" Damon said. The old woman only looked at Himeko
Toshio only acts like that around Shailung...so why did he start acting wild again? Unless that girl's friend...must be Shailung's daughter!
"I'm sorry that all this happened but...I must have word with your daughter. If that's okay with you sir" The woman said
"Of course" Damon said
"Himeko may I have a word with you?" The old woman asked as she smiled. Himeko felt a little strange but nodded. She followed the old woman to a place where they couldn't be seen or heard
"So what is it that you need to talk about?" Himeko asked
"It's about that friend of yours...mind telling me her name?" The woman asked
"Why should I?" Himeko asked as she glared at her
"Hehe right it seems you don't know the full story of my beloved family. My first son was an amazing boy and a very handsome boy. He had the most beautiful crystal blue eyes and white hair. Almost white as the snow..." The woman said and looked at Himeko's expression. Himeko only kept looking at her and glared at her
Blue eyes...white hair...
"Anyways he was a great boy. He grew up well and all but...there was something odd about him. He seemed a little crazy and a very energetic kid. He never liked the rich and wonderful things...so one day that bastard decided to escape. He was a disgrace to the Higashi family and I tried to convince him to stay but he wouldn't listen. Such a rebel...but surprisingly managed to get a job and create a family. You know those three young boys...I hate them" The old woman said as her expression turned into anger
"What for? Did they do something wrong?" Himeko asked
"Heh you see Momokino...my son had very special traits and he had the looks as well. After he left my husband left...hmph! Such a shame...I had to end up with another asshole and he gave me an amazing son with terrible looks. Then he gave me three grandsons with much more horrible looks..." The old woman said as she shook her head
It really is a shame for them to look like that...
"What's so bad about their looks?" Himeko asked
"Momokino...if you'd met him you would've been amazed by his beauty. I've heard that he ended up having a girl and I bet she is as beautiful as him" The old woman said
"And is that all you care about?" Himeko asked
"Why of course I do. Why wouldn't I? Beauty is the one thing I love the most...especially if it runs in my family. Sadly for Shailung...he left the family and I hate him for that" The woman said. Himeko's eyes widen and looked at the old woman with shock
Doesn't that name sound...similar to Shai's name? What the hell am I saying
"Shai...lung?" Himeko asked
"Hm? Oh right. Shailung is his name...why? Do you...know him?" The woman asked
"What? Of course not" Himeko said
"Then why do you look so...surprised or shocked? Was it something I said?" The woman asked
"N-no it's nothing" Himeko said and looked away. The old Higashi only smirked and turned to leave
"It was nice talking with you. I hope my grandson makes a great husband for you" The woman said as she walked away. Himeko only stayed back as she looked down
Shailung. Shai. They sound alike...blue eyes and white hair. Shai has those traits and...she's really beau-
Himeko's eyes widen and shook her head as her face redden
No no no no! Don't think about her! Right now I must focus on Pucchi! Why did he run away?
