I'm horrible. Go for it. 8Db

He checking the grocery store again, unaware of the town's latest arrivals. Maybe there's something here Kouki overlooked.

Helloooooooo.

[soft_hatsune]

And Soft Miku runs down one of the center aisles towards him, several leeks in her arms and three thugs chasing her. From the little robot girl's point of view they're very big and scary, but by actual typical standards they're rather scrawny. They're definitely mean and scary, though, shouting angrily her in that language she doesn't stand.

"Waaaaaaaah! Kouki! Help!" She stops before the boy with wide eyes. "They just started yelling at me, and - I have no idea what I did! Aaaaaaaah!"

...she says, holding a dozen stolen leeks.

Kouki looked over at Soft Miku, blinking until he saw the thugs chasing her.

"Miku! We gotta hide!"

Pointing in a random direction, he take a hold of one of her hands and lead her in a run.

[soft_hatsune]

She ran along with him, squeezing his hand tightly. She couldn't let go! But the thugs were catching up and taking out some strange weapons and...

"I'm so scared! I think we might have to fight them!" ...well, really he'd be the one doing most of the fighting, but. Same difference.

[de_bel_kid]

He's scared, there's no doubt about it. But he must be brave, boys should protect girls!

"If we fight, I'll protect you!"

He sound so brave, so determined...that the effect was lost when he tripped.

[soft_hatsune]

Yeah, that's the best logic! She tries to raise him up by their joined hands, but with the delay the thugs are getting closer. The head of the three is close enough that his weapon is identifiable: A nasty flamethrower, which he's fiddling with dangerously.

[de_bel_kid]

With her help, Kouki got back onto his feet. Even if it's a bad idea, he looks behind him at the thugs, and saw the flamethrower.

"Miku, we gotta run!"

[soft_hatsune]

She did run with him, but it wasn't long before they ran into a corner, mostly surrounded by wooden stands. With a rough laugh, that one thug turned on his flamethrower and the material nearby started to catch to light.

"Kouki -- Kouki, do you see anywhere to run?"

[de_bel_kid]

Fire's getting on the stands and he can't see anywhere they can run to. At least, anywhere beside where the thug was standing at.

"I...I can't see a way out, Miku!"

He's scared. No, a better world would be that he's terrified.

[soft_hatsune]

"There's -- there's nowhere to go anymore -- aaaaaaaah!" That? That would be the sound of her hands coming too close to the fire. They begin seeping into useless lumps far too quickly, her eyes widening as she stares at that happening right in front of her. She'll cling to him and hope it gets better! No, wait, that doesn't work because oh god it's getting onto his skin -- what does she do, what does she do, the fire's getting closer and closer--

[de_bel_kid]

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. His clothes was catching on fire and it's burning his skin.

"M-Miku! Naoya!"

[soft_hatsune]

She gives up and throws her arms around him, hopelessly, even as they disappear into slop and the disintegrating fabric of his clothes.

"Luka! Master! ANYONE, help!"

The thugs are walking off now, guffawing and giving each other pats on the back for a job well done.
