???'s POV

Hic.. Sniff...

"Why...?"

"Excuse me? Is anyone there?" I walked cautiously into the bushes. A girl in tattered attire was crying her eyes out, while repeatedly hitting the ground. "Miss... are you okay?" She looked up and glared daggers at me. "Do I look fine to you?" I gave her a nervous laugh. "It was plain obvious, now please leave me alone." 

I let out a small chuckle.and the girl 'tsk'ed. "What's so funny about this?" Her tone was extremely threatening, which made my chuckle evaporate. "Now can you please leave?" I gave -her an award-winning smile, thinking that it would tone her aggressiveness down a notch. "Please just crawl back into whichever rotting womb you came from."

*arrows dramatically hits chest*

"D-did you have to be so hurtful? I'm just trying to help." She gave me a sorry smile, and sighed. "I'm sorry, I really am. I'm not usually like... this." She buried her face into her knees. "Thank you for trying to help, but you probably should go back home before it gets dark." 

She was right. The sun was beginning to set. "Well, can I at least walk you back home?" She looked up, and blushed. "I... don't have a home." I patted her back. "If it's alright with you, you could stay with me. I'm currently staying at a nearby hotel. And don't worry, I'm not a kidnapper of any sort." 

Her mouth fell open, then closed back. 

"No no no! I absolutely can't! It would be rude of me to impose, and I've been so ungracious to you." I held her hand. "Please. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that I had left you out here in this harsh weather." "But... I don't have any money."

I stood up, and brushed the dirt off my pants. "I'll pay for your needs." And before she could protest, I lifted her up and carried her, bridal-style. 

"W-wait! I don't even know your name and you don't know mine!" I adjusted my hands to match her posture. "My name's Kazuhiko. Yours?" She closed her eyes. "(Y/N) (L/N)." We walked in silence after that, but I noticed that she had fallen asleep. I brushed a lock of her (h/c) hair out of her face. My face heated up. "I guess I'll have to tuck her in tonight."
