Blurry minded with the pain coming from him side.
Where the blood coming out from the wound that made by the pocket knife from the earliest duel he had hours ago.
He feel himself getting weaker as times past after he was drag into the building with bunch of strangers surrounding the centre while he was left aside.
Their conversation echoes in the large hall. With the voice of panic, wary, questions but the main voice among the people was furious.
" What are you thinking?!?! Just see what you just done!!!"
" You are there for the girl!! Not some random kid !!!!"
" You know it damn well why you're assigned with this!"
" We're here to end things. Not making a new one!!"
" We can't risk making another case that leads us lock up agian!!! "
" We're only one step away from getting out of this and you blew it!!! "
" You have only have one job! ONE!! "
" NOW SHE'S NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!! AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS!!!!"
Listening the conversation Ryoga can't help but let out a huff despite he's like half dying there. He found it funny and relatable on thier panic over the so called girl.
Afterall the ones that panicking over her are basically get beat up by her real bad before. He wonder what did she did that traumatised these alduts over there even didn't dare to call out her name.
His laugh must be loud, the group have stopped arguing. All eyes on him glaring furiously.
" YOU! IT'S YOUR FAULT!"
" HOW COME YOU COME HERE?!?"
" WHERE'S THAT BITCH?!?!"
Ryoga can't help just glare them with contempt eyes. As he continue watching them stir restlessly with thier fear inflicted more in thier eyes.
One of the asshole who stabbed him decided to grab him because they can't take his insulting glare. Which give Ryoga a chance to take a huge bite on thier wrist.
But also resulted as they throwing him to the ground on the broken glass filled floor. He can feel that some shards starches his legs and the wound just spiling more blood.
Ryoga found the hissing groan that person let out while swinging their wrist along with the curse are very pleasant.
Definitely worth it.
That person surprisingly hold back to draw out the same god damn knife from his pocket, decided to ask question instead.
" So what should we do with him? We can't let him go. Not like this ."
His question have just throw a bomb
" Just leave him here he wouldn't go anywhere. Better if he's dead ."
" No someone might found him here ."
" Here? In the middle of nowhere? I don't think so."
" Breaks his legs . So he can't run away ."
" Oh you still think he can walk ? I bet he can barley stand "
Wow so they just decided to leave him dead over here?
Ryoga glare at them even harder snice he know what they said it's possible to happen.Bleeding out of your life in the middle of nowhere? Alone without someone you can call help?
Call help?
He have stopped asking for help long ago.
" All of you are pathetic, acting all scared that you can't even take a normal duel?"
" All of you just a coward who just want to win so bad that you even cheated."
Ouch that's kinda hurts to say it out from himself. But it does the tricks to piss them more.
But before they can do anything there's a familiar voice echos in the place frist.
" Hello? Is Someone there? I heard that someone want me to meet up over here but there no one."
" So I have to walk all the way to look for you~"
" Who's the bad child that couldn't keep their promises I wonder?"
" Or should I say-"
" LONG TIME NO SEE EVERYONE!! "
A loud bang comes along with the flying door that just fly by ( what the hell? Is he starting to have hallucination now? )
But let's say it does a huge distraction because the gang is freaking out with her approach.
" IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SIR!! "
" After the business we have before. Its been years since we see each other-"
" Am I right?????"
A figure starts to emerge everyone eye sight along with the owner laughs. Ryoga can see some of them starting backing off as the figure getting closer to them.
Which in his blurry vision he can immediately tell who's that person just by seeing the annoying familiar figure that slowly getting closer.
For a moment he felt......
Relief.
Hm?
That's new?
He was glad to see her arrive?
......
Well it's her fault that he get himself into this mess. So she should be here for any moment.
Don't think to much Ryoga.
She just here to deal with her problems frist.
She'll just-
Ryoga's thoughs was paused by the sudden blue like mist flash through right before his eyes.
He was suprise to see it again in such a close distant, snice he only thought he just image things when it appears.
Especially if that sight only appears when she throwing hands with someone.
But strangely he can feel something just peck his cheaks (?????) like literally pecking. Which it happenes around her too but not too often and not that soft. The glow become more bright as he watches it circle around him and the size become bigger.
He hear the footsteps stopped in the mid way that change her direction towards him quickly. Along with panic voice.
" Ryoga?-"
"Why you're here? I thought you say you're at home?"
" And-"
" WHO DID THIS!!"
Ryoga allowed the girl picking him up ( or just simply he can't make any respond now) , feeling her arm scoops him up the floor as she let out a hiss towards the alduts.
" I'll deal with you guys later and you're guys are dead to me."
Wait so she's taking care of him frist instead of dealing with her business with them?
Why?
As if answer his question she responded despite he just laying in her arms now running in full speed towards whatever derection he thinks it is.
" What? You think my problem is more important than you?"
" I waited for years to deal with THEM, you think I can't wait more longer? Press your wounds now and don't let go I'm taking you to a hospital."
She strongly insisted, he saw the blue mist again this time its gently warping both of them. He feels his side was less pain didn't know if that was just hallucination again.
Snice he also watching the same blue figure at the front of them with the duel disk in the mid air that have showing the navigation to somewhere.
Hospital........
" Take me to the Heartland hospital, the one that is the largest in the city......."
" Take me there...."
He try to talk louder for her but only whisper like voice comes out but luckily she hear it.
" Alright, no worries I'll take you there."
" And don't you dare fall asleep! Stay awake as possible! "
Hearing her promise and nagging in this such timing he let out a dry laugh . If he would die, he want to stay close to Rio more ( even it will be cruel for her to learn that when she wakes up).
" I'll try, mind to tell me why you're here? "
" Haha funny one dear. I could also ask the same thing."
" But we'll put it later because there's no way we just appear there out off the blue."
" Especially you're in this state."
" So hush."
" But-"
" I will tell you the whole story but not now. "
".......yes ma'am "
Ryoga leans on the girl.... Abby more after the end of conversation, he know he shouldn't think of this but the embrace of her...... Actually feels kinda familiar. He wonder why he thought that but....
• [➤ Ryoga feels nostalgic]
