The Element of the Thing

[Ayumi Tsuchimi]

Ayumi thumped her fist to her palm. "I've got it!"

. . .

"Just sit here on this swing and look vulnerable. I'll be right behind those bushes ok? good." Kagomi looked nervous. Ayumi felt a little bad about using her as bait, but she'd be right there the whole time. These henchman were no match for her. She ran to the bushes and kneeled down, flashing a thumbs up as high as her arm could go. She sighed. Stakeouts get really boring.

Kagomi takes a deep breath as she sits on the swing, looking down at her feet and swaying back and forth slightly. It seems to be hours before she finally feels a hand roughly grab her arm. Fear takes over, but she remembers that Ayumi is right in the bushes. Despite her relief, she still screams in shock, trying to shake the tight grip.

Ayumi jumped up and flash-stepped over to Kagomi and her attaker. The small knife she held in her hand had sleeping poison on the tip. She lashed her hand over and sliced the mans cheek. All of this happened in about 3 seconds. The confused guy stumbled backwards in a daze, dropping Kagomi. He touched his hand to cheek, staring at Ayumi. "Ouch" he said, falling over. Ayumi walked over and placed her foot on his chest. "Goodnight!" she said, bubbly, winking.

Kagomi sighed in relief as the man fell backwards. "Good team work!" She chirped. laughing. "That was a lot easier than I expected!" She said. Ayumi and her brought the man back to Ayumi's house. After that, the only thing they could do was wait for the man to wake up.
