Revenge Best Served Pink

"I'm impressed that you got out of that coma." Sayo remarked as she aimed her bow at Mein. "However, being out for two weeks won't guarantee your success."

"Oh yeah?" Mein questioned coldly. "Well see about that."

Sayo angrily glared at the pink hair girl before firing a couple arrows simultaneously. Tatsumi, worried for Mein's safety, tried moving but couldn't unbind the rope. However, Mein stood perfectly still as she lifted her rifle and blasted the arrows away before firing more shots at Sayo.

Sayo dodged the bullets and fired three arrows at the same time, only to miss as Mein took a step to the side; the arrows passing her. Two landed in the water while one landed on the ground. Tatsumi eyed the arrow to see the sharp metal shine in the sunlight.

"You'll have to do better than that." Mein said. "The more danger I'm in, the powerful Pumpkin gets."

"That's just a bluff." Sayo objected. "If that rifle's really that strong, then why don't you hit me with it?"

"Mein, don't listen to her." Tatsumi pleaded. "I know she harmed you in the first place but that's because she was tricked. I think I've found out Aria's true intentions."

"Shut up, Tatsumi!" Sayo shouted as she fired an arrow at him.

Tatsumi saw as the arrow headed straight for his face only to be blocked by Mein as she deflected it with Pumpkin.

"Tatsumi." Mein said. "Do you remember what you told me that day at the market?"

Tatsumi looked at Mein unsure of what she was trying to get at. Mein didn't bother to glance at him or even stare at Sayo. The upper portion of her face was dark and she didn't seemed amused on what was probably about to happen.

"Yeah." He replied. "That I would protect you; no matter what."

"And look what happened, three of your friends were put into comas!" Sayo laughed.

"But we're all just fine now." Mein retorted. "Because of you, we all are now stronger as a family. Sure Tatsumi failed, but now he can become stronger to protect us. Even Rabac can probably become less perverted."

"I doubt that." Tatsumi mumbled.

"And me," Mein continued, "I can finally face..him."

Tatsumi looked at Mein who now had a sorrowful looking face than the previous one she had. He could only assume that something happened in her coma to make her think in a whole new way.

"That's a load of crap!" Sayo shouted. "You can only become stronger if you train. As for that pervert, nothing will change with him. For you," Sayo aimed her bow at her again, "The only person you'll be facing is god!"

Sayo fired the arrow at Mein, only this one was going faster than usual. Mein, unable to react quickly in time, prepared to take the arrow only to feel blood hit her face.

In front of her, Tatsumi stood with his arms and legs spread out wide. The arrow had hit him in the right side of his stomach, going all the way through and exiting his back. Blood began to seep out of the open wound as he started to breathing heavy.
