Jitsu -A different story-

"Calm down, it's all over. Let me help you." Those words were directed toward the confused woman, she had taken a few seconds to try to analyze everything, but unconsciously she took the hand that was in front of her and got up after being able to notice the features that seemed to be her savior.

Despite the darkness, the little light transmitted by the moon and the street lights was enough for the figure of that person to appear before her eyes. He was a man, he had the complexion of someone muscular enough, and short and dark hair enough to barely be noticed at night, furthermore, his height seemed to exceed six feet.

"I..." The words seemed like they still couldn't come out of her, the situation she had just gone through was still present in her mind, but once she saw the face that was close to her accompanied by a kind look, she felt there was no reason to feel that way anymore.

"I already called the police and they shouldn't be long, you're not hurt, right?" The tone of concern that came from the man was totally sincere, but at the same time it was enough to make the woman calm down even more, and without noticing her, she hugged him.

She did not understand what she was doing, but she felt that the only thing she needed was to find security in the person in front of her, the fear was dissipating, but with it, the emotions she was feeling seemed to escape at that moment as small sobs came from her and several threads of tears could be seen falling down her cheeks.

"Don't hide it anymore, it must have been terrifying, but everything is fine now, I won't let anything bad happen." Those simple words seemed like what she needed, she didn't try to contain herself and unburdened herself on that person's chest without caring about anything else while the night was still present throughout the place.

…

…

...

"Thanks for the information provided, actually we've been looking for these guys for a long time, we'll make sure they end up in prison as soon as possible." That was what the person dressed in the distinctive police uniform said.

"That would be really comforting, thank you for your work."

"I also thank you very much." The words of thanks said at that moment belonged to both the man and the woman who was involved in the whole situation. The police arrived just as the man had said, and they were transferred to the police station to add a new complaint in addition to all the evidence that there was against those subjects.

They had already gotten far enough away from the building and were unconsciously walking side by side in complete silence as the man carried the shopping bags that belonged to the woman.

The legs of both followed their course while each was immersed in their own thoughts, but after several minutes, the man was the first to speak.

"Would you like to rest a bit? There is a park near here."

Noticing the sudden voice that had come to him, the woman simply nodded and went after him seeing the back of that person moving away little by little.

…

"The night is a little cold. You should drink a little." The man had returned with some small cans of coffee that seemed to come from the machine that was in the distance. The woman had already taken a seat on one of the benches in the place and noticed the voice that reached her again. She raised her hand to take the can while she saw how that person also took a seat next to her.

The silence was present again at the same time that only the small sips were heard when drinking, for anyone else it could seem like an uncomfortable sight between two people, but in reality, it was nothing like that, and it was possible to notice at the moment that the woman voice seemed to finally come out surprising the calm man.

"Thank you so much for saving me!" She said that as she closed her eyes and made a huge bow in the man's direction, and he only took a few seconds to understand what she meant.

"It really was nothing, but I'm glad they didn't hurt you." A small smile came out of him at that moment as the woman realized that the situation had relaxed a bit.

"Er... May I ask your name?"

"My name? Ah, it's true, I think we haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Kurono, Kurosawa Kurono, it's my pleasure, huh…"

"Shizune, Yoshida Shizune. Thank you very much for what you did Kurono-san."

"Haha, you don't need to thank me so much, Shizune-san. I couldn't let someone as beautiful as you get hurt." He had said while his laugh was still heard. He had done it to lighten the atmosphere between them more and forget what had just happened before, and it seemed to have worked.

"B-Beauti...?! Please don't joke with me, Kurono-san." A small blush, as well as a cute pout, was generated in Shizune the moment those words were heard by her, but after that, the same laughter came out of her to accompany the cheerful atmosphere between them.

"Seeing you smile makes me feel calmer now."

"I also appreciate you helping me feel more comfortable, if there is anything I could do to thank you..." But before she finished saying that, the typical sound of a cell phone ringing came from her bag.

"Excuse me, Kurono-san."

"Go ahead, don't worry."

Giving a little gratitude, Shizune took out her cell phone to realize who it was and answered at that moment.

"Rena?... Yes, I'm fine... I'll explain everything when I'm home, it won't take long... It's fine, see you later."

"I guess it's time to go, can I walk you home?"

"Are you sure, Kurono-san? You've already done a lot for me."

"It's not a bother, what's more, I would like to make sure that you will arrive safe and sound."

"Then I would really appreciate it."

"If that's the case, let's go." With that light nod and seeing the Kurono figure in front of her, Shizune couldn't help but let a small smile form on her face at the same time that a warm and peculiar feeling appeared inside her without knowing what it really meant...
