Reincarnation: A Quite Revenge

Chapter 40 - Injured Again

Junko is closer. While Izumi was cornered on the trellis fence. Both are actually equally shaky. But I am afraid of something different.

"Junko, please!" Izumi screeched, making one of her hands a protector. Just in case Junko will attack suddenly. That way his hand is ready to fight.

"Babyskkhhh!!!" Junko shouted loudly, while making an attack on Izumi. But Izumi fended off, with a firm grip on Junko's hand holding a knife. The sharp part of the thing was now right into his eyes.

Junko and Izumi continued to defend each other. Until in the end, Junko managed to injure Izumi's shoulder for his own efforts. The red liquid slowly moistened Izumi's white uniform.

Izumi grimaced in pain. But he tried to survive as much as possible.

"Junko, stop!" Hiro suddenly came out of hiding. It seems he made a choice. The man immediately ran to break up the fight that was going on.

Junko and Izumi, who are aware of Hiro's arrival, are looking for a while. Both of them automatically turned their eyes towards Hiro who was getting closer.

"Hiro, help me!!" Izumi made a loud voice. He let his guard down for a moment, while raising a hopeful look at Hiro.

Junko who feels threatened, uses his chance. He continues his attack. Until Izumi makes a reflex step back.

Because the trellis fence is there, only as high as the hips, Izumi could not balance herself. The girl lost her footing, then fell down.

"Aaaark!!!" Izumi reflexes shouted loudly.

That was when Hiro arrived on time. He immediately grabbed Izumi's hand which was almost carried by the gravity of the earth. If the girl falls, then she must pass a height of about 20 meters.

Hiro is now in a defensive state. While Izumi hung in the air. Hope Hiro can pull her up soon.

"Take him off, Hiro!" Junko tried to stop.

Because Hiro wasn't flirting at all. As a result Junko stuck his knife with origin to Hiro's hip. Blood instantly dyed Hiro's shirt in red. Both of his hands were still working to hold Izumi's weight.

"Junko, you're crazy!!" hiro growled while continuing to bring Izumi up. Fortunately, he was still able to survive. Although the pain in his hip caused a strong stabbing pain.

"Hiro, hurry! I'm not strong!" urged Izumi who was already whining in fear. The sweat all over her body was flowing. The wind managed to hit his hair and clothes. The girl's breathing began to spiral out of control. Fear certainly made his heart beat faster. His only hope now was Hiro.

"I said let her go! didn't Izumi have done you bad too? AWAKE HIRO!" Junko once again tried to aim the knife, but suddenly someone grabbed him from behind. Then keep Junko away from Hiro. It turns out she is Shima.

There are a few students who are watching below. They were worried about Izumi's state of near-fall. One of them immediately gave a report to everyone. Some also tried to follow to the roof, in order to help Hiro. Over time the audience of the incident grew.

Slowly but surely, Hiro is finally able to bring Izumi back upstairs. Even though the blood on his hips was flowing more and more. His teeth were bluffing because he was exerting all his strength. However, the more Hiro forced himself, the more blood splattered from his hips.

"Aarghhhh!!" It was Erang Hiro who finally managed to pull Izumi back upstairs. After which, he immediately staggered and fell to the floor. His head was attacked by dizziness due to fresh blood being wasted. His eyes slowly blurred.

Before Hiro's gaze darkened, the last thing he saw was a glint of sunlight in the bluish sky.

"hiro!" Izumi and Shima shouted at the same time. Both are equally worried.

Hiro was conscious, yet he did not immediately open his eyes. His ears were greeted with the music of Gagaku. Somehow Hiro thinks that he's back in time.

'Did I come back again? Oh God, I hope so, ' Hiro hoped inwardly. His hearing was focused only on the sound of Gagaku's musical tone echoing. Naturally his mouth curved and formed a smile. 'Now I'll open my eyes, and make sure-'

"Is he conscious?"

"Not yet, but the doctor said his condition will improve!"

Shima and Akira immediately greeted Hiro with a positive aura. Hiro's feelings of disappointment slowly changed for the better.

"You know what, Shima? I've been hurt more in this age than in the 14th century!" hiro, who was sitting on his hospital bed. He looked at Shima who was busy with a cell phone. While Akira just came out of the room, because there is something to take care of.

Shima chuckled for a moment to hear Hiro's complaint, then put the phone on the nightstand. "But the difference is you have more lives here than in your old days,"

"Yes, you're right..." Hiro could not argue.

Chequek...

Door opens slowly. Izumi who was wearing a doker blue dress appeared, along with a thick black coat. The girl came alone. In his hand was a parcel of fruit for Hiro.

A faint smile was engraved on Hiro's face. A brilliant idea immediately appeared in his mind. Perhaps the Gods did not return it to the 14th century, but instead helped him to get close to Izumi. Although he had to willingly get hurt in order to take sympathy from the girl. Hiro will take his chances now as best he can.

"Are you satisfied with torturing Hiro?" timpal Shima ketus. In contrast to Hiro, who continued to stare seriously at Izumi.

"I didn't expect you to be that close, Hiro, when I've done so many bad things to you" Izumi said. Not paying any heed to Shima's reprimand at all. His face this time was very different. It was as if he was really showing genuine concern.

"If you feel that way, shouldn't you apologize to her?" shima concluded while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Shima, I've been talking to Hiro, and not to you!" reply Izumi. Look at Shima.

"That's it..." Hiro held Shima's arm, then continued saying, "calm down, you have to keep your emotions."

Not long after, Akira arrived. His eyes immediately turned towards Izumi. Though previously the woman had treated Izumi well. Akira even tried to evict Izumi from the room.

"Go! don't ever bother Hiro!" firm Akira with a frown.

"But, I just-"

"You've had enough of my son! Go!" Akira deliberately cut the sentence that Izumi was about to say.

"Mom why are you acting like that?" hiro protests, no disbelief. Akira's unfriendly actions, will certainly hinder his strategy to approach Izumi.

Izumi's facial features look sour, as a result of being treated harshly by Akira. As she continues to be urged, Izumi is finally forced out of the room. Which of course is accompanied by feelings of disappointment and regret.

Now all that's left is a debate between Hiro and his mother. Shima, who felt bad, chose to leave.

"I think the only one who needs treatment is you!" hiro said while throwing his face towards the window.

"Hiro, I just found out that Izumi.." said Akira slowly. His hand held the head. It was as if the reality he received had made his head dizzy.

"You just found out that he's Katashi Nakagawa's son?" guess Hiro. It caused Akira's eyes to fall apart.

"W-what... how..." Akira seemed confused to respond.

"I found your old picture. And it looks like I have a close relationship with Katashi." Hiro again used his opportunity well. Making Akira's mouth go silent a thousand languages in an interval of a few seconds.

Akira closed his eyes for a moment. Try to calm his mind first. He realized how hard his son's curiosity was. He seems to have to tell me everything now.
