HARU, HAKU, HELP! went through Chihiro's mind as the pervert fondled her most disgustingly. The guy was practically PURRING in her ear and it was not a nice purr, either. Remembering some basic self defense lessons as the guy tried to wrestle her to the ground, Chihiro opened her mouth and bit down as hard as she could. Perv howled and tore his hand away, leaving a chunk of flesh in Chihiro's teeth. She spat it out and spun, swinging her bag as hard as she could.

"TOTO!!!" She screamed as the bag connected with Perv's skull. He snarled and she skipped back.

"You little BITCH. I was going to be gentle with you, but now," His threat was interrupted by a black and silver dart arrowing in from above.

"RUN CHIHIRO!" Tota yelled as he attacked the man. Chihiro turned and fled, instinctively heading for the ginko tree. The tree was huge, the trunk so wide Chihiro and Haru coudln't span the girth with all four arms. Chihiro ducked behind it and plastered herself against the bark.

I have to hide, until Haru comes. Toto will call her, I don't want him hurt. I don't want anyone else hurt. I need to be invisible. Chihiro closed her eyes as Perv screamed again.

"Stupid BIRD! What the hell is this? God, I need a lay. Where did that bitch go? Come on, Myth Twin. You can't hide forever." Chihiro shuddered as his voice came closer.

"HARU! PERVERT HAS CHIHIRO!" Haru nearly fell out of her chair as Toto's scream reached her ears. She bolted up.

"CHIHIRO!" Grabbing her bokken, she raced out the door. Her teacher and fellow classmates stared after her bemusedly. Haru burst out of the Legal building and touched one earring.

"Status and location?"

"The Grove. Chihiro's somewhere close, but I can't see her. Perv is checking every tree, it's only a matter of time. HURRY."

"On my way." Haru jogged to the Grove, knowing a flat out run would leave her too winded to swing her bokken. She approached the hedge from the side and spotted a man in dark clothes checking trees. He was bleeding from his scalp, Toto's handiwork. Haru jumped the hedge and used trees to cover her.

"Chihiro?" She breathed as she moved closer to the ginko.

"Near the ginko, but I still can't see her!" Haru bit her tongue and slid around the last maple. The ginko rose tall and proud before her. She took two steps forward, and the perv came around the tree. His eyes lit up.

"Oh, even better! Hello, Other Myth Twin. I've heard you're a horrible dancer. Let's see if that holds true to horizontal moves."

"Not on your life!" Haru raised her bokken and charged. Three paces from the perv, her arm was grabbed and she was yanked behind the giant trunk. The perv frowned.

"What is WITH these bitches? Whatever happened to 'I'll do whatever you want, please don't hurt me?'" He stalked around the ginko, eager to find two cowering sweet bodies. He found nothing. Blinking, he turned a slow circle.

"Son of a BITCH! Where did they go?"
