Chapter 15 - Young and Possessive

Start from the beginning
                                    

I stepped forward, glaring up at the man as others began to surround us.

Zuli: "I'm terribly sorry for bumping into you, sir. But if you'll excuse us, my brother and I still have errands to- Ah!"

As I took Ciel's hand and tried to walk past them, they shoved us back and Sebastian stopped our fall.

Street Indian A: "Did you not hear me? I said give us your money!"

Ciel: "Unbelievable."

Sebastian: "What a cliché bunch of thugs we seem to have run into..."

Sebastian cracked his knuckles.

Sebastian: "Master, my lady... shall I handle this?"

Ciel: "Yes."

Zuli: "Make it quick."

Sebastian: "Certainly."

One of them grabbed our arms tight.

Street Indian A: "Listen you little brats, you are outnumbered. Everybody within a mile of here hates you English dogs!"

He pulled out a knife, but Sebastian simply flicked his forehead. The others gasped as he fall back hard.

Sebastian: "Did he hurt you at all, young master, miss."

Zuli & Ciel: "He did not."

Street Indian A: "Damn brats! You take over our country, drag us here, and then throw us away like garbage!"

Street Indian: "Your people have tracked your filth all over our homeland!"

Street Indian A: "How about we show you the humiliation of being robbed, eh?!"

He raised his knife but was interrupted by someone outside the circle.

???: "Excuse me!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to this Indian boy. He wasn't like the others, he was dressed like a noble. He held up a very poorly drawn image of a woman.

???: "I'm looking for this Indian woman... Perhaps you gentlemen have seen her around here?"

Street Indian A: "Who the hell're you...?! Just stay out of this!"

???: "Oh my... Are you fellows having a duel?"

The boy tilted his head slightly at us.

???: "They have a khansama with them... Are you English nobles?"

Ciel: "What if I say we are?"

???: "Then I will have no choice... I must side with my countrymen... Come Agni!"

Agni: "Yes sir?"

???: "Defeat the English nobles."

Agni: "As you wish. I shall use my holy weapon... which I was given that I might serve my master."

The man behind him began to unwrap the bandages from his right hand. He darted towards us, Sebastian picked us up and jumped back out of the way. He kept darting forward and striking at Sebastian.

Sebastian: "He's fast."

Agni: "I have repeatedly struck many of your vital pressure points. Any normal person's arms would have gone numb by now... How are you moving?"
