Chapter 5

"Your aunt is sweet" the female stated trying to ignore the awkward tension that rose once again.

"we aren't related" he simply stated making the female turn red from embarrassment due to misunderstanding.

"I just come here a lot" he quickly added as he noticed the female's embarrassment.

Before the anyone could say anything else the waiter from before approached with they're food as he placed the food on the table in front of the two individuals.

Time-skip after they ate

------------------------------------------------

"Where are we heading to next?" the female questioned looking up to the male curiosity lacing her slightly deep feminine voice.

"We are going to walk back.. unless u want to get there faster and take a bus I'm fine with that" Ace stated looking at the female for an answer.

"I'd rather walk thank you very much" the long brown haired female quickly stated not giving the second option a thought making the porcelain skinned male before her chuckle as they started walking.

The Air was filled with a comforting scent of rain as it had rained when they were in the restaurant.

Perla enjoyed the scent and the cold breeze that brushed her skin as they walked in a comforting silence. 'Maybe he wasn't such a Jackass after all' she thought smiling to herself.

"Thinking about me?" the male smirked as he looked down at the shorter female beside him making her frown as he teased her as she whipped her head in annoyance.

"Why think about you while I can think of anything else?" she shot back glaring at him as she took back what she thought of earlier.

They continued walking in the empty city streets with the pretty lights making it bright despite the hour at night.

As they walked by an alleyway something grabbed Perla's arm making her let out a yelp as she looked beside her into the alleyway to find a whole gang.

She grabbed his hand with her opposite hand as she pulled him over her and flipped him over as he let go of her hand and landed on his back letting out a yell.

Ace looked at her in shock not knowing what to say since she didn't use any of her martial arts skills against him when he forced her out though he didn't mind.

"Get behind me they're a strong wanted gang" he ordered though the girl did not comply as she stood beside him a vicious smirk on her face.

"no thanks I want to have sum fun too after all you can't have it all yourself" she exclaimed excitement rushing through her veins as she saw the approaching gang.

"fine but watch out they have weapons" the messy black haired male once again ordered not sure if he should let her do this though it was too late as a guy with a bat started running towards him.

Before the guy could swing his bat once he approached Ace had kneed him in the stomach as his punched his jaw making him fall unconscious.

The female had noticed as another guy slowly made his way behind Ace as he got ready to hit him though it was too late since Perla had already punched the back of his neck rendering him from moving for at least 30 minutes.

As Ace and Perla stood back to back in sync as they fought of the gang they didn't notice as the gang leader who stood in the back slowly approached them from the side a knife in his hand as he watched multiple of his men attack the two individuals at once.

As Ace knocked out the remaining of the guys attacking him he noticed the gang leader approaching as he looked behind him too see Perla fighting three of the biggest gang members they had seen yet.

"PERLA!" He yelled as he jumped at her side as the gang leader swung his knife at her as it stabbed Ace's side.

She looked to her side to see blood trickling down his side making her eyes widen as he knocked out the leader.

Perla knocked out the last three guys as she ran to the taller male's side as he bled out.

"Thats a pretty big wound" she commented as she helped him put pressure on the wound. She felt very guilty since he was trying to help her.

"You don't think" he scoffed as she helped him up.

"I'm fine you don't need to help me up we can just get to the base and get it patched up." he commented as he swatted her hands away.

"besides you'll get blood on yourself" he reasoned making her raise an eyebrow at his stupid reasoning.

"they'll think I stabbed you if I don't help besides the base is 30 minutes away from here and you're walking pretty slow right now so you'll probably die before we get there if you keep going like this" Perla said internally congratulating herself for the good excuse as she helped him.

The thick crimson red liquid stained his clothes along with his and the female's hand as she pressed down on the wound making him let out a wince.

"sorry sorry I didn't mean to hurt you I just thought it would be better if you put pressure on it" she panicked almost falling over with his weight on her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders for support as they continued to walk in a quicker pace in order to treat they're wounds.
