The bandit immediately fell to the ground, shaking and shivering, as Haruka toppled over him. Her eyes deciphicating a wave of anger and worry, which faded in an instant, as she swiped her claws at the bandit's and falling him into unconsciousness.
In that fleeting moment where worry was evident in her eyes, Kenji saw. His heart began to beat rapidly, as he came to the realization that, yes, she still cared, even if she acted like she didn't, she, still cared. And that alone could bring a man any joy.
" Yo- you fought for me, you still care," Kenji said, joy evident in his voice, as a slight smile crept up his face, the feeling that someone still cared, the feeling that he wasn't just thrown away Immediately washed over him.
" Are you an idiot?!" Haruka exclaimed, her soft voice gone, now replaced by one with utter rage.
" You think i saved you because I cared?" Her words sending his soul into a whirl of heart pain.
