They had broken in… her world was ending… or at least she thought it was. Her medically smart, logically stupid mind could not comprehend what was going on. She trembled in fear at the sigh of the things coming at her from all sides. She crouched down and clasped her gloved and bloody hands over her bright blonde hair. Her eyes clenched shut… she waited to die as she trembled.
She heard the groaning of the things… but their swipes and chomps at her flesh never came. The world went silent as a quick and clean "SLASH!" was heard throughout the room as it echoed and lingered in the air. Her golden eyes opened as she saw before her… a silhouette in the sun. The only thing that dared to show its color was the blonde hair of the man. Even the blade that he held looked as if it was coated in blood… which it was.
She watched as the man cleaned the blade of the blood that adorned it like a sick trophy of war with a single slash, finally allowing her to see the brilliant steel that lied beneath the blood. It splattered the wall as she continued to watch the man begin to sheathe his blade. He stopped as the Habaki began to slide into the Saya. Holding the Tsuba with his thumb, she watched as the man pulled up his right hand and began to make signs. She couldn't read them, thinking that it was simply Sign Language, but soon his sign-making stopped with his thumb, index and middle fingers pointing to the ceiling and his other two fingers curled in.
What she saw next horrified her…
Haruto was angered. He could not help his emotions at the time. He knew that the woman was not his godmother… but he couldn't stop himself. He had burst into the room in a burst of speed and within the blink of an eye had slashed through the horde of infected people, thought even they themselves did not know it…
Not even thinking through his next actions, he had cleaned his blade and incompletely sheathed Shukketsu Souru. He started to dart through hand seals and finally stopped when he thought he had it. Monsters… they are nothing… but… MONSTERS! I'll kill each and every one of them! I'll kill them all!
"Sōdoāto: Damudo no Imorēshon!"
Flames began to dance around the room as fire burst from the single wound that each creature held at their necks. Haruto felt the temperature rise as a horizontal wave of flame took over the room. He quickly clicked Shukketsu Souru in and took to grabbing the woman to protect her from the flames and used his body to shield her. He felt as the flames tried to scorch through his trench coat but he knew that his seals would hold true to their design. He simply had to bear through the pain.
After what felt like an eternity, the flames died. Haruto felt the cool air on his back and opened his unknowingly shut eyes. He let go of the trembling woman and stood and turned to look at his handy work. Bodies lay scorched and charred to a perfect crisp on the ground and Haruto began to smirk darkly, showing his deadly canines. He quickly composed himself, though, as he heard the door to the room open and in walked a woman.
Haruto, while on the outside, kept himself composed and professional, on the inside he was intently admiring the luscious form of the composed woman. Her violet hair fell down to her shapely thighs and a bent triangle of hair hung in between her exotic violet eyes with two bangs of thin hair flanking it on either side. She wore the same shirt that he had seen Rei wearing but her skirt was far more proper in going down to her mid-calves. In her left hand she held a bokken.
She walked over to Haruto and inspected his black-clad form and peered curiously at his covered face. Staring into his eyes, she spoke. "You have done very well in protecting Marikawa-san. You prove to be quite the gentleman." She bowed her head and looked back up. "My name is Saeko Busujima. If you would permit, might I know your name?"
Haruto was stunned, though he did not show it on the outside. This girl, Saeko, the girl that he was looking for as per Naruko's request, was not only beautiful, but she was also obviously very respectful to her supposed superiors. Haruto bowed back and spoke. "I thank you for the congratulations, Saeko-san. It is greatly appreciated. My name…" Haruto hesitated for a second. Well… I'll have to trust her anyway. After all… she is descended from Naru-chan. "… is Haruto Uzumaki."
Haruto saw a small smile adorn her face and noticed her eyes soften slightly. He felt his body heat up at the small show of emotion. He then heard her voice again. "Hmmm… Haruto… in English that would translate as Sunlight, am I correct?" Haruto raised an eyebrow. "English?" Saeko was visibly surprised by this. "You do not know of English and the America's?" Haruto shook his head in honesty and Saeko simply sighed. I didn't think anybody could be this stupid…
She turned her head to the downed boy that sat in a pool of his own blood. She proceeded to ask him his name and if he wanted her to put him out of his misery honorably. When he said yes she did so quickly and without remorse. The blonde, Marikawa, if Haruto remembered correctly, was shocked at the sight of death. Haruto simply hung his head in honor of the boy that had given his life to protect his elder.
Haruto bent down over the boy's body and placed a hand on his forehead. "Kami wa shigo no sekai de, anata o shukufuku..." He stood and held his stern look before moving towards the door. Before he reached it, though, he stopped and turned his head to the two women in the room. "If you two wish to live through this… then I would suggest you follow me. I have other duties to attend to but I feel you may be invaluable assets to me. Especially you, Saeko-san." Saeko was confused as to why a stranger would require her but she did not argue and followed, as did Marikawa.
