Love between Cucumber and Peach (4)

After eating lunch, Tokio and Chan took a stroll on the street, Tokio was tall, about 176 cm, but Chan's height was just about his shoulder, it's kind of not fitting for them to walk side by side as a couple. Tokio tried to strike a conversation as they walked, although Chan turned her face to look at him while he's talking, her face seemingly absentminded, it was clear she didn't find the topic was any interesting.

The guy also offered to buy her something, but Chan rejected, of course as the princess of the peach's lord, she definitely not lacked anything, and perhaps the biggest reason she rejected it, it's because she didn't want to have trouble denying his courting later.

The street crowded with passerby and merchants, but there was still enough space to walk, there was a loud voice of a someone's promoting their product, kids ran about, a carriage that passed in the middle of the road, and people's laughing brightly.

But in the midst of these euphorias, there was a shadow stalked around, then it jumped in front of Tokio and Chan, alerting the two people.

"So it's true, it's not difficult to find you even in the sea of people, Miss Chan," the shadow said. It was a person in dark clothing, covered from top to bottom with only their eyes that visible.

"Eh, what?" Chan suddenly stiffened, unconsciously took a step back.

"Who are you, what do you want with Miss Chan?" Tokio walked in front of Chan.

"It's not your business big guy, step aside and let me finish my task, I don't want innocent blood stained my hand," the shadow knitted his eyes, clearly wasn't joking.

Tokio gritted his teeth, looking back at Chan who obviously scared already, then he looked at the shadow again, said, "Over my dead body."

"Easy," the shadow threw three shurikens, it was fast, in the blink of the eyes, those projectiles had reached a couple of feet away from him, Tokio shut his eyes.

Clank!

The three shurikens were deflected by another three different one, then four figures appeared before Tokio and Chan, it's precisely Abe, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi.

"Who are you?" Kakashi calmly said.

"Hm..." the shadow somehow weirdly stroke a pose, then said with exclaim, "I am the one that throws a seed of chaos, knowing my name is sought for trouble, for that who know me never continue to fight for tomorrow."

"I know you... you are the famous killer, Shit-bag!" Naruto pointed his finger toward the shadow.

"it's Shiba! You're fucking moron!" the shadow called Shiba angrily said.

"You guys, bring Tokio and Miss Chan to safety, I'll keep our Mr. Killer stay here obediently," Kakashi said with a coy expression.

"Understand, Teacher Kakashi," Naruto nodded then the five of them ran away from the location, leaving Kakashi alone to fend off Shiba.

They ran briskly through the line of people, throughout the escape, Tokio held firmly Chan's hand, telling her not to let it go, Chan, while still confused, didn't reject it. After several turns, they were forced to stop, because this time, there was another person who blocked their way. It's the same person as Shiba, wearing black attire from top to bottom.

"Leave him to me, Sakura and Abe, lead our client away from here," Naruto took a step forward and clenched his fist.

The same thing happened again not long after, we reached a riverside area, but we got block by another person, it was Abe turned to stay behind now.

Sakura, Tokio, and Chan were running non-stop, while Sakura and Tokio were good, Chan definitely unable to keep up, let alone she was wearing a dress that made her difficult to run fast, thus Tokio finally offered to carry her on his back, with a blush, Chan depended her body on Tokio, allowing him to be her horse.

Their destination was obviously Chan's residence, it was a place tightly protected by guards, so it would be hard for the enemy to do anything once they arrived.

Yet fate said otherwise, there was a person blocked their path, but it was different this time, the guy did not wear such a suspicious clothes like his comrade anymore, in fact, he wore rather casually, with his average height and slim frame, he wore a short sleeve black shirt, and underneath dons a long-sleeve white shirt. He wore a belt to hold up his medium blue jeans, and a pair of white sandals.

"Tokio get into my back!" Sakura walked a few steps forward, she prepared a stance immediately.

Then she dashed, with loud steps and a readied fist, Sakura approached the person, her punch shot out.

The man easily dodged her strike, his palm erected, then he mumbled something, the instant he finished saying, Sakura startled before she suddenly lost strength and fell down on the ground, comatose.

"Now, nothing is going to be a hindrance, anymore." the man spoke rather annoyed, probably because so many people disturbed his operation. Then he looked at Tokio and Chan, both people were stiffened, but Tokio didn't drop Chan, instead, he tightened his grasp on her, making sure to be able to run together.

"Don't bother, you won't be able to go anywhere," the man stopped, then all of the sudden, he appeared beside Tokio and Chan, his foot lashed out and kicked the two people to the side, both people groaned in pain.

"Chan, run!" Tokio, bearing the pain, he quickly stood up and stood between the man and Chan, tried to give her the time to make an escape.

Chan looked toward the free path behind her, then she glanced at Tokio, she bit her lips before struggled to get up.

"Uo!!!" Tokio leaped toward the man, but he was caught by him and slammed hard on the ground, even with his big body, Tokio screamed at the force, causing Chan who was about to run froze on her spot, she looked at him, with the man's foot on his body, seemingly stomped on him harshly.

Chan's eyes filled with pain, everything was happening too fast, her emotion had been turned upside down from fear, sad, confuse, and there were also happy and warmth.

"Chan, run, I'll stop him... Gah!" the man kicked Tokio and sent him flying toward the wooden fence several feet away, the loud crackling sound was either from the broken wooden fence or maybe Tokio's body himself.

"Tokio!!!" Chan was finally unable to run anymore, she quickly made her way toward Tokio on the distant, but the man appeared in front of her, he extended his hand and grabbed hers.

"Ah, no, let me go!!!" Chan tried to struggle, but it was to no avail, she was getting dragged away.

"You bastard... let... Chan, go..." Tokio stood up with a wobbling gait, barely able to maintain his consciousness from the pain.

"Tokio..." Chan shed tears, mixed between worry and joy.

"Ok," the man let go Chan's hand, but his palm extended, it's like something shot out from it, it struck Chan's body and made her stiffened a bit.

"Pfft..." Chan's lips let out a burst of sound, then she immediately laughed, rolling on the ground while holding her body.

"Hahaha... what... what's going... why I can't stop laughing?!" Chan's laugh became louder, even tears came out from her eyes.

"Chan!" Tokio tried to get into her, but his body already wounded heavily, every step caused him so much pain. He glared at the man, said, "what have you done to her?!"

"It's a deadly curse, it made the victim laugh to their death," the man coldly said.

"No!" Tokio's expression changed heavily, he looked at Chan who laughed like a madman, rolling her body left and right, holding her stomach, his eyes went red, but he didn't know what to do to save her.

"Why bother? There are many girls out there far prettier than her, just leave her to her death..."

"I don't care about other women, I only love Chan, I don't care if she's the least pretty woman in the entire world!" Tokio said.

"Hoo..." the man rubbed his chin, then said, "alright, if what you said is true, then strip your cloth and knelt before me, kowtowed and called me your daddy 10 times, then I release the curse from her, ok?"

Tokio went silent for a while, what the man asking from him was a big shame, after all, a man should not bow his head except before an elder or their parents, but if it could save Chan, then Tokio was willing to lose his dignity.

"No, Tokio... don't... Haha..." even in the midst of painful ticklish feeling, Chan could still hear the conversation between them, she didn't want Tokio to shame himself for her, but she also felt touch if he did it, especially after how he proclaimed his love for her.

"It's okay Chan, as long as you save..." Tokio stripped his clothes, and he was about to take down his pants also but the man was suddenly struck to fly by a powerful punch, his body flung far and hit the nearby tree, breaking it in the process.

In this instant, Chan's curse also magically disappeared, she panted heavily with redness on her face, her voice was rather hoarse.

"Tokio, are you alright?" Sakura quickly tended to Tokio's wound, but after he was slightly able to walk, Tokio approached Chan immediately and pulled her into his bosom, cried in gratitude.

"Tokio, do you really love me that deep?" Chan said with a panting sound, feeling the warmth of Tokio.

"Yes, I... I only want you, Chan, no other woman," Tokio seriously said.

",,," Chan didn't say anything, but she leaned her small head toward Tokio's chest, a smile appeared on her contented lips.
