Hello Again (Svelte + Naoki)

Ki was seriously wondering if the train guy was going to slit his throat, when suddenly he felt the weight on top of him disappear. Followed by the knife that had nearly been digging into his neck, nicking him just a little before it disappeared from his throat. He cringed from the slight pain, but opened his eyes to see what had happened.

Lying a few feet away from him were the train guy and his brother, Naoki. Even though his eyes were still half-shut from the pain, Ki could make out his brother. He could also see that something was wrong with Naoki's shoulder. He was about to try and push himself to his feet, but at that moment, Naoki came rushing to his side.

"Ki....Ki!" Naoki grabbed his brother by the shoulders and patted his face slightly. "Daijoubuka? Are you okay?"

"Ugh..." Ki groaned, wondering if it was possible to just pass out now. He felt like, to put it bluntly, sh*t.

"Ki, if you can move, there's a nice local girl...She's blonde, her name's Svelte.....She can take us somewhere away from this guy, okay? We don't have much time, but--"

Ki hadn't seen the train man coming back, but he should have known to warn his brother at least that the guy was much stronger than he seemed. Naoki didn't even get to finish his sentence as the guy came back, punching Naoki so hard in the face that he flew several feet away from Ki, landing hard in the not-so-soft grass.

"Naoki!" Ki cried out, trying to roll over onto his other side and groaning in pain. This sucked. Boy, were they having incredibly bad luck today...

But he didn't have to do a thing. As the man rounded on Naoki again, out of nowhere, a girl came leaping in, grabbing the man by the head and kneeing him in the back. For a girl, she had hit the man pretty hard. The guy went down easily on the ground.

"H-hey!" Ki shouted at the girl, trying to get to his feet. He resisted the urge to grab himself again (Damn, the pain was all that kept resounding in his head) and finally managed to push himself to his feet. He wobbled a second. "Who are you?" he asked her, though he thought maybe this was foolish to ask. She was probably the girl Naoki had just been talking about, Swell, or Svelte, or something... "Watch out!" Ki told her. "We don't want you to get hurt too..."

The train guy was getting back to his feet, looking angrier than before now. He turned to face the girl who had beaten him down, looming over her. Ki tried to stumble forward to help her, but he knew he'd be useless in this state. How had the train guy beaten him so easily? A hand went to his neck, where a tiny sliver of blood was seeping out of the small cut there. He and Naoki were gonna be in big trouble when they got home.

"Look, leave her alone!" He shouted, wincing a little. He didn't know Svelte at all, only the little bits Naoki had just told him about her, but what he did know was that she had nothing to do with this. He'd feel awful to get someone random involved in a fight that had nothing to do with them. "If you've got a problem, it's with one of us, right? She wasn't on that train."

The train guy just stared at him like a stupid ogre. He snarled and spoke, for the very first time. "Regardless, you're all working together. Spies? Thieves? Ain't no one good who'd stow away on a cargo train." He gave them a nasty grin. "Now what if I did hurt your lady friend?" He reached out and grabbed Svelte roughly by the arm.

ooc: If I god-modded you, Svelte, just let me know! I don't mind changing the post a little!
