4 A Lost Wolf

Everything happened quick. The Tsuchiyans nor the other villages didn't know who's army are they from. The Once-Great Leader of the Tsuchiya has tried to fled from the village, to report to the allied villages. But his convoy got bombed by the Jets before they can even set out of their Center. Luckily, The Great Leader survived the bomb, but his escorts are no more. The Great Leader went to the entrance by himself, But it was too late. Convoys of Armored Vehicles is already traversing through the gate. And The Great Leader got shelled by an High-Explosive shell.

-= TSUCHIYA VILLAGE IN RUINS =-

Chiho ran as fast as she could. She tried to get in touch with their army but a Jet surprised her and hid into a ruined house. "Damn it! She's losing too much blood!" Chiho curses as she observe Ayumi's wound. Chiho knew how deep Ayumi's wound and she also knew that it's too much for her age to bare such horrible wound, but she still tried. Chiho removed her clothes and tore the stomach-part of her clothes and wore it again. Then Chiho applied the torn cloth into Ayumi's wound. "Ayumi? I'm sorry but this cloth won't be enough, We have to get moving again" Chiho expected an answer by Ayumi because she has her eyes half-open and breathing fine, But Ayumi didn't respond. "Please don't leave me Ayumi...." Chiho breaks and cried. Then few moments Chiho stopped and wipes her eyes. "W...We have to keep going.." She said to herself, Then she checked Ayumi's breath, It was somehow still normal. Then Chiho carried Ayumi again. As They are about to leave, Chiho heard someone running closer and ran back inside. Then Chiho saw a soldier with a gun runs past the house. Chiho sighs in relief and lay Ayumi to the side and said: "Wait here, Ayumi. I will look and see if there's any enemies" Then she went for the door and slowly opened the door. Chiho peeks at the direction of where the soldier ran into. "Hey! You!" A male voice shouts behind Chiho, Which she gasps and quickly turn around and saw a male soldier with a handgun pointing at her. She quickly went back inside and hid Ayumi behind her. Then the soldier came running and kicks down the door. "Eeek!" The noise from the door made Ayumi scream. "Ayumi?!" Chiho turned back to look at Ayumi. "Hey hey hey... Who are you hiding there?" The soldier asked Chiho. "Stay away!" Chiho screamed at the soldier. "Heheheh.... I really wish Shichiro allowed us to molest when we are pillaging like this, You look really cute" The soldier creepily told Chiho. "Y-You monsters!.." Chiho was surprised at the soldier's intent. "But hey, He never pays attention on these these ruins, so he won't see us here" The soldier hinting at Chiho. "And our plan was to get to the center, so most of us will go far from this part of the village. So be a good partner and let's do it here right now" The soldier threatens to molest Chiho. "I will never do such things with you! You monster!". Chiho screamed at the soldier. Then she felt something touch her legs, Then she quickly looked below her and saw Ayumi trying to get up. "A-Ayumi! Stay still!" Chiho warned Ayumi, Then the soldier saw Ayumi woke and said: "Oh, is that your daughter? Good, good. I'm not into children, but she can join the fun too.." The soldier creepily suggested. "You sick bastard!..." Chiho's disgusted at what he said. "So come on, Don't make it hard". The soldier speaks and slowly moves toward Chiho. "Stay back!" Chiho shouted at the soldier. "Keh! So you won't come along huh?" The soldier pointed the handgun at Chiho's head.

Chiho's frightened at the gunpoint. She didn't know how the handgun works. Despite the gun pointed at Chiho, Ayumi stood and went behind Chiho. The soldier is getting closer, then Chiho shouted "Don't come any closer!". Pissing off the soldier, He then shoots the gun above Chiho's head, making her duck a bit. "The longer you resist, The harder i get to punish you!" The soldier shouted at Chiho. then walk closer. "Heh.." The soldier laughs, "Here you are..." The soldier pretends to reach for Chiho's breast, then quickly raised his gun up in the air and smashes it into Chiho's head. "Ah!" But Chiho quickly saw this and catches his arm. "What the-!" The soldier was surprised at how quick Chiho's reaction. While holding the soldier's arm, Chiho pulls his arm, making him gets close at Chiho, Then Chiho kicked his crotch, making him moan in pain. Then Chiho quickly holds his head low then kicks his face with her Knee. "Ouch!.." Chiho's knees hurts from the kick. This sends the soldier flying back, and so the gun. The soldier covers his face and rolled to stand up, Chiho saw this and picked up the gun. Then she imitated the way how the soldier was holding the gun and points it at the soldier. As the soldier gets up, He saw that Chiho is now wielding the gun, and immediately hangs his arm in the air. "H-Hey now... That thing is dangerous, it could kill you!" The soldier tries to trick Chiho. But Chiho knew that the thing she was holding is just like the Crossbow she held with her Father. It shoots. "Heh.." Chiho made a smug. "Do you really think i don't know how this work? We Tsuchiyans have WAY better weapons than you have here" Chiho lied to the Soldier. The Soldier quickly fell to her lies and surprised. "W-What do you mean?! Y-Y-You guys still had those stupid bows and arrows! It can't be!" The soldier is visibly shaking. "Heh... I will show you" Chiho threatened the soldier. "H-Hey now.. Wait..." The soldier tries to plead. Chiho then points at his chest and started to lightly touch everywhere around the trigger. Once she notices that it's the same as the Crossbows, She immediately pressed the trigger, The gun fires loudly, making Ayumi scream "Eeek!" and sending a bullet through the soldier's chest, making him scream in pain. Though Chiho didn't know how powerful the gun is and was surprised. The gun flew off from her hands. "Whoa.... A-Amazing" Chiho looked at gun on the ground and looks at the squirming soldier. Then she picks the gun again. "O-Onee-chan.." Ayumi called for Chiho, but Chiho just took a quick peek at her and went to the squirming soldier.

She pointed the gun at the soldier's head, This time she held the gun by both of her hands, both fingers on the trigger and said: "Which village are you from? Who are you? No, Actually, Where did you came from?" She asked the soldier on the ground. "Heheh..... We are YOUR Nightmare!" The soldier taunts. Chiho's enraged by this and pointed the gun at his stomach and shoots, making a loud noise and making Ayumi scream "Eeek!". This time Chiho managed to withstand the force the gun gives, though it still surprised her. The soldier screams in pain and holds his stomach. "Tell me! Tell me who you guys are!" Chiho loudly asked the soldier. "S-Screw it, i'm going to die anyway.... You can call us Prohorovkans" The soldier gave away their identities. "Po-pro..." "Pro-Ho-Rov-Kan-s!" Chiho couldn't pronounce the name so the soldier repeated the word carefully for her. "P-Proho..Rovkans?" Chiho's terrified at the name because she never heard such foreign name. "Yes, That's right... Actually.... Ahk!" The soldier tries to proceed to explain but was interrupted by his cough, with blood. "Argh...We are the Prohorovka Trovishka Revoir Demolitions...Or PTRD for short....Remember....Th....." The soldier couldn't continue his words. "W-Wait!" Chiho lowers her gun. "...I'm still alive, Jesus.... Now you're worried about me.... Heh...." The soldier was just fighting with the stingy pain from his wounds. "No i'm not.. If you die, It would be hard to get information again" Chiho explained to the wounded soldier. "Then why'd you have to shoot me?...." The soldier asked Chiho, which Chiho just remains silent as she can't give an answer. "Heh..Whatever... I guess this will be reward for such brave girl like you...." The soldier compliments Chiho's bravery, Which surprises her because of the sudden change of his attitude. Then the soldier took out a painkiller from his pockets. Chiho was alarmed by this and pointed the gun at the soldier again, but the soldier remained calm. "Don't worry, This thing is called Painkillers" The soldier explained the medicine. Chiho lowered her gun and asked: "P-Painkillers?". "Yes, You inject these to wounded person so he or she could not feel the pain for an amount of time" The soldier stands to sit against the wall and injected a painkiller at himself and grunts. "Agh.... Here..." The soldier took one more painkillers from his pocket and hands it to Chiho. "A-ah..." Chiho don't know what to do. "Come on... Give it your daughter, She looks wounded from all the blood from her dress" The soldier shakes the painkiller, a hint for Chiho to take it. "T-Thanks... A-And were not siblings.." Chiho took the painkiller and told him about Ayumi. "She's my neighbor, but we're pretty like siblings because of how close we are". "Well it's the same, isn't it? You might not be the same blood, but you two are close" The soldier smiled at Chiho, surprising her. Seeing the two talk in peaceful way, Ayumi went behind Chiho and looked at the soldier. The soldier saw Ayumi and said: "Hey there little fella... I gave your onee-chan a medicine for you...". "H-Huh?" Ayumi was surprised, and looked at Chiho, Which then Chiho shows Ayumi the painkiller. "Alright, How about you inject that to her before she die from that wound?" The soldier suggested to inject the painkillers right away. "O-Okay umm...." Chiho looked at the painkiller. "H-How do you use this again?" Chiho asked how to use the syringe. "Well, For the little fella, Her arm is just fine, you inject that tiny metal to her arm, just like how you stab your enemy with a spear, but without the strong force. And push the top" The soldier explains how to use the painkiller. "A-Alright... Ayumi-chan, Let me see your arm" Ayumi then shows her arm to Chiho, Which Chiho carefully chooses where to inject the painkillers. "You will just pierce the skin anywhere, Right?" Chiho made sure what to do. "Yes... By the way, Little fella. How did you get the wound?" The soldier asked Ayumi. "M-My name is Ayumi, Kirisaki Ayumi" Ayumi was a bit annoyed at how the soldier was calling her, *Little* Fella, So she introduced herself right away. "Oh There we go, My name is Keijuro, Kujima Keijuro". The soldier exchanged name with Ayumi. "Kujima Kei-chan?". Ayumi repeated his name. "A-Ah....." Keijuro was flattered at how she said Kei-chan, But quickly remains his cool. "A-Ahem....". Then Chiho also introduced herself. "Kujima-san, My name is Hasegawa Chiho, Nice to meet you". "A-Ah... Nice to meet you too, Chiho-san. Come on, you can call me with my first name too". The soldier responded to Chiho's introduction. "T-Then, Keijuro-san.." Chiho said his name. "There we go... Now enough talk, Go inject that thing to her" Keijuro hurriedly suggested to Chiho. "R-Right" Chiho immediately backs on track, Then she carefully injected the painkiller into Ayumi's arm. "Ouch!" Ayumi squirms and making the injection even hurt. "Y-You should stay still Ayumi-chan, It hurts but it's good for you" Chiho reassures Ayumi. "B-But...How if it's a poison?" Ayumi still didn't quite trust the syringe. Chiho worriedly looks at Keijuro. Keijuro looked at her too. "If it were a poison, i should be struggling to breath right now" Keijuro told Chiho. Then Chiho looked back at Ayumi's arm and pushed the piston of the syringe. Then finally Chiho pulled out the syringe out of Ayumi's arm. Then asked Ayumi: "How do you feel?". Ayumi remains quiet as she tries to feel.. "I-I feel normal...Actually...Relaxed!" Ayumi suddenly brighten up. "I couldn't feel the wound anymore!" Ayumi added. This made Chiho happy. "Oh yeah, This is our own painkiller, we made it, So that painkiller should take effect for 3 days. It temporarily covers the wound, you go take a look" Keijuro explained their own-made Painkillers. This made Chiho curious and she asked Ayumi to reveal her wounded part. Which Ayumi did and both Ayumi and Chiho got surprised, The wound is no longer there, just the circle mark. "A-Amazing....How...." Chiho's speechless at what she witnessed. "It's Magic. We used Shichi-...Our leader's healing power and sealed it into these syringes with small hints of normal painkillers" Keijuro explained. Then Chiho looked at Keijuro with deadh serious face. "Y-Your leader....Who was it?" Chiho said in serious tone. "F-Fujiwara Shichiro... He's our leader, He always wear blue jacket, you can't miss him or mistake it with others" Keijuro was surprised at Chiho's seriousness as he gave away Shichiro's identity. This made Ayumi gasp and asked: "D-Does he have blue hair?". This made Chiho also remember something. "Yes, He have blue hair, you have seen him?" Keijuro asked, Then suddenly Ayumi tears and said: "Y-Yes...He's....He's the one who hurts me..." This made Chiho enraged and swears: "That damn bastard!". But Keijuro ignored her fury and said: "Now,now. Time to explain before we part ways". This made Chiho loses her anger and looked at Keijuro.

"Alright listen here, both of you. First, We are the PTRD. We came here to this world by a portal. So that means we are from the other world" Keijuro started to explain, Making Chiho curious and asked: "P-Portal? From other world? " But Keijuro ignored her question and said: "Now's not the time to ask a question, You can know a lot later because i know we will be here for long enough". Then Keijuro continued. "We went to this world to pillage villages like yours, for more resources". "And we have the modern...WAY more modern Equipments and weaponry than what you guys have here in this era" Keijuro added. "M-Modern...Era..?" Chiho curiously repeated the words, Which Keijuro nods at her. "Alright, tell me about your leader!" Chiho requested Keijuro. "Fine, You already know his name. First, He leads the PTRD. Which already makes it hard to fight with him in the beginning" Keijuro revealed his leader away to Chiho. "H-Hard?" Chiho questioned. "Yeah i told you already, We have modern shit that is way better than yours" Keijuro was a bit annoyed. "M-Modern...S-Shit..?" Chiho repeated the word. "Oh for god sake, This is why i hate this era... I meant the modern weaponry and stuff!" Keijuro explained in another way. "T-Then why did you called it shit? What is that word?" Chiho asked again. "J-Just shut the hell up.. God...Alright, Shichiro here have an enormous power, by that i mean the Magic" Keijuro explained further. "Now here's Magic... What is 'Magic'?" Chiho asked. "W-Well....An extraordinary unphysical stuff that normal humans doesn't bear? Damn, You'll know it once you saw it" Keijuro hardly explains what is magic. "O-Okay?... Then give me one of his 'Magic'.." Chiho asked. "Alright. In battles, He always uses these types of blade. It comes out of his hands or wherever from his arm. It's just like swords, but more dangerous and He can hide it and reveal it however he wants. He have the capability to turn it into burning blades, It can cut into everything and burns the damage he caused. Though, i called it burning but the appearance of the blades didn't change much, it was just these radiating heats coming from it." Keijuro explained Shichiro's blades. Then Keijuro stares at Chiho, as if trying to remember something. "W-What?" Chiho asked his staring. "Oh yeah!" Then Keijuro suddenly lit up as if finally remembered something. "He gave us those power just in case of intense struggles from the enemies, Wanna see it?" Keijuro told Chiho then turns to Ayumi and asked her. Ayumi gasps and instantly nod like a parent asked her if she likes the toy. "Alright, Here goes" Keijuro raised his right arm and releases a blade from his arm with a sound. "W-Whoa..." "Amazing....." Both girls were amazed at the scene. "These are blades i was talking about. Though i don't know how to make it burn". Keijuro told the girls. "These blades are Shichiro's main weapon, But he have other scary powers. So if you're willing to fight him, that would be your biggest mistake, And not only that. He also have a friend... A Girlfriend who used to have powers that is equal to his' too".

This made Chiho remember the girl with white hair. "T-That girl! with White hair! Are you talking about her?!". Chiho furiously asked Keijuro. "Y-Yes.... Her name is Maeru, Shigawa Maeru. She's a devil from Hell" Keijuro responded. Which made Chiho fall her spirits because of the new scary words she just heard again. "D-Devil...From Hell?...That c-cute face?". Chiho remembers Maeru's face when they waved each other back at the streets. "Heh..She's cute, yeah... But She have a dark secret she's hiding behind that appearance. Not that she's a Devil, No, No" Keijuro told Chiho. Which made her scared and curious, She remained quiet for Keijuro to continue. "That girl is crazy, She has this dark twisted personality where she loses control of herself and starts to kidnap people and tortures them, And throw their guts out and crazily compliments them how beautiful their insides is". Keijuro explained Maeru's 'Yandere' personality with disgusted face. Which the girls cover their mouths in disgust. "We, from the whole PTRD, and Shichiro call this personality 'Yandere'." Keijuro continued. "Y-Yandere?" Ayumi asked. "Yes, I think it means crazily falling in love on a certain person and is willing to do anything just so there's nobody and nothing can go between the said person and herself" Keijuro explains the Yandere in his own words. "That's...Awful..." Chiho reacted to his explanation. "Yes, And currently, Maeru's in relationship with Shichiro and is fighting beside him" Keijuro told the girls, which made them afraid. "And if you kill Shichiro with Maeru still living, It will be your worse nightmare, And that nightmare will haunt you for eternity" Keijuro explained more. "So i suggest, if you're somehow willing to fight against us, You go get rid of Maeru first before Shichiro himself. Because Shichiro has rules to himself, One of it was if the girl is not strong enough, or even brave, She cannot be his partner. So if Maeru falls to your hands, He will just fight you normally. It's better that way than the other way around where Maeru chases you even at your own sleep" Keijuro suggested to Chiho.

"Well, i guess i explained enough things for you to understand. It's time for me to go" Keijuro stood up and walks to the door. "W-Wait!" Chiho stood up and tries to hold him by his shoulder, But Keijuro stopped and turned around "Don't worry, I won't report you nor fight you" Keijuro told Chiho, making her worry. "Go and find a way to obtain these powers and i'll be one of the soldiers you'll face before fighting either Shichiro or Maeru". Keijuro suggested to Chiho. "I-I will!" Chiho agreed, though she's still confused why an enemy helped her. Then Keijuro turns to face the door. "Until then, I will see how well you are with the new powers you have" Keijuro turns to Chiho again with a smile, Which Chiho was flattered and blushes. Keijuro saw her blush and laughs and said: "Hahah, What are you blushing for? I just gave you an advice, I'm still your enemy. And that enemy that tries to molest you once" Chiho suddenly remembered their fight and sadly looked at the ground. "And whatever you said, I will fight with the PTRD against you until my last breath" Keijuro said. "Goodbye, Chiho-san... You too, Little fella" Keijuro turns away and opened the door. "My name is Ayumi!!" Ayumi screamed at Keijuro. "Right,right, See you around, Ayumi-chan" But Keijuro didn't look back and exits the house. The girls stood silent.

"W-What should we do?" Ayumi brokes the silence and looked at Chiho. "A-Ah....." Chiho didn't know what to do either. "Why did an enemy help us? He even gave us a medicine" Ayumi's also curious at the sudden turn of the situation. "I-I guess we should get going too" Chiho suggested to go, which Ayumi agrees and nods. Then they exit the house and looks at it as to remember their very first contact with their enemies. Then Chiho suddenly perks up as if remembered something important. "By that time, Ayumi-chan" "Huh?" Ayumi looked at Chiho. "By that time, How did you stood up with that wound?"Chiho asked Ayumi, which Ayumi rubs the part of the wound and said: "It really...really hurts, everytime i move a bit, It hurts even more.... But i still forced myself to stand with you" Ayumi explained, Which make Chiho cry and crouches to hug Ayumi. "I promise, i will protect you even if it cost my life" Chiho cried to Ayumi. "No, Onee-chan. You said it wrong!" Ayumi told Chiho, making her back up and look at Ayumi's face, Ayumi was smiling. "I think you said I will protect you until the end!". Ayumi smiled brighter. "A-Ayumi-chan" Chiho then hugged her tightly.. They stayed like that despite the chaos happening in the village's center. Then they let go each other and continues to walk to their beginning.
