Used to It

The Sadness: Pt 7

I was assign for a mission at Tokyo, Japan to finally kill the Korean Mafia and to get justice for the people that lost their lives to them.  As I was walking down the street full of lights also filled with laughter and chats to people. I was feeling a little hungry so I thought about stopping to the local ramen shop by my hotel room that I went to most of my days at Tokyo. On my way to the ramen shop I saw a 5 year old ish looking girl on the other side of the street with a dumpling in her hand as she stared back. 

We stared for about 30 more seconds until the crowd came in to cross the road and after the crowd crossed she was no long there so I went over and looked to the corner of where I last saw her. Only to revel a man yelling at her and slapped her so hard you can hear the clap echoing through the street, she fell down dropping her dumpling and sobbing. I ran over and started yelling to stop while the guy kept hitting her with a crane and his hand, continuing to yell at her about being such "a stupid child". 

I got there before the man can swing his crane to her again and held up his hand while the crane was still there. I said "Stop, she's just a child sir." "Yeah, a stupid one too!" he responded. I sighed and asked him how much she was "What do you mean?!" he responded "I'm asking how much is she. Obviously if your hitting her then you have no care in the world for her sir.". He gave a moment to think and responded with a simple 100.00 yen. I agreed and handed him the money while he gave me the rope that helped him beat her and to stay still. 

I lead her to the back of the clothes shop while I took out my knife and took off the rope on her waist. I took her hand and lead her in the shop and told her to pick anything in the shop even if its expensive. She nodded and picked a cute clothing before showing it to me. I nodded and she went to the dressing room and came back out with the cutest clothing I ever saw. I payed for the outfit but while walking out a lot of people were looking at me like I just kidnap somebody but I couldn't blame them cause the kid had black hair and blue eyes and I had whit hair and brown eyes. 

I smile at the kid while she looked up at me and holding my hand, we walked to the rame shop and when we ordered I asked about how old she was and what her name was. She said that she was 6 years old and she had said that she didn't know her name the only thing they called her was girl. It took me a little while to process the things she said, I asked her what she wanted he new name to be and she responded with Yuma. We talked for a little and ate up the food while on our way back to the hotel room she asked if I'll sell her like her real parents. I said never and that we were only going back to the hotel room until my mission is over. She nodded and looked down the whole way back to the hotel room, when we arrived she went to go lay on the bed next to mines. 

I put on my pajamas and laid to the bed next to Yuma and began to think if she's always been yelled at and abused. I didn't think much and just went off to sleep like the other nights.
