Chapter 809 - Hide And Seek (1/2)
Ghost Phoenix who was weak and kneeling on the ground saw the blood-thirsty Ye Cang chasing Jie Na like a cat chasing a rat. She was shocked at his blood-soaked face and wicked eyes. She told herself, “I must never touch a Magical Girl’s face…” Just then, a voice from behind stunned her for a second, Cang said, “Goodbye.”
Turning around to see Cang holding a baseball bat preparing to behead her, her heart sank. In a flash, she saw a familiar smile appearing before her very eyes.
A sound of bones cracking was clearly heard.
A’Jie’s head tilted to one side and fell into Ghost Phoenix’s embrace. Streams of blood from his head stained his face red. Cang once again raised his baseball bat but that did not concern Ghost Phoenix. Tears ran down her cheek and dripped on A’Jie’s face. “Why… why…”
Suddenly, a hand grabbed the baseball bat. Cang stared at A’Kai in disbelief for being able to still stand straight after being wallopped by Jie Na. A heavy hit landed on Cang’s chest and sent him to the fences. After glancing at A’Jie who was at the brink of death, A’Kai’s eyes were filled with a strong intent of killing. Enduring the pain from his chest, he dashed at Cang. “You are unforgivable!”
A’Jie tried to maintain alertness as he murmured, “So…so…sorry…I…should…have…waited for you…on that day…when school ended…For the…limited edition…cuckoo brooch…I went…to queue…unable…to protect you…when… you needed me…the most…I’m sorry…sorry…”
A’Jie’s body had completely gone weak and soft. His muscles could not stop his clenching fist from letting go and dropping the cuckoo brooch. Ghost Phoenix stared at it, looking at the bloodstains that enveloped it.
Outside an accessory retail store.
A girl with a ponytail and a backpack was holding hands with a short-haired boy who was yawning.
“A’Jie, look at that brooch. It’s so beautiful. It’s not only expensive but also a limited edition. *sigh* It’s still not for sale yet…”
The boy glanced at it. “Let’s go. It’s so ugly. It looks like nothing but a bird stepping on a puddle of shit.”
“That’s a cloud…idiot.”
Ghost Phoenix stared at A’Jie who gradually lost consciousness as her vision went blurry. It was as if the short-haired and introverted boy picked up the brooch and pinned it on her chest. “A’Jie, you bought it huh… Do you know? At that time, you were the only one who trusted me… I somehow dared not talk to you or even see you… because I’m afraid that you might be eventually looking at me with those eyes too…”
A familiar sensation came from her thigh.
“The touch…is really good…just like before.” A’Jie opened his eyes and frail words were coming out of his mouth, “Just now…that hit…awakened…my…my Sharingan…now…I feel…Naruto’s…fearless…look at me…I’ve Sasuke’s ability…”
“You know what…I’m Naruto…” Ghost Phoenix hugged him tight and joked with tears rolling in her eyes.
With the remainder of the orange hues from the setting sun shining upon them, they smiled at each other as if the scene had returned to the times when they were boys and girls.
“Leader…” A’Kai who defeated Cang stared at the two of them while leaning against the fence for support. Not even able to continue, he fell onto the ground, unconscious.
“Wow…the love…is actually genuine…” AV who was lying on the ground waiting for assistance sneered at them.
“Oh god, what have I done wrong… Why do I have to witness this… Gosh, it’s so real…” staring at such a beautiful scene made Lil’Wang feel like dying.
“Save some energy and wait for the team leader to come and save us. I believe he’s almost done.” SpyingBlade could not move any of his arms or legs as they were all broken.
