Ruki by Alex Michala (free e books to read online txt) 📖

she leaped up and twirled around and kicked him in the stomach, and then she flipped and slam kicked him in the side making him topple over. The battle was over quicker than how it started. The way Ruki had moved around, it was practically inhumane. The way she had moved, was almost as though she weighed as heavy as a feather, but was as strong as a tiger.
Ruki turned towards Ash, and Ash bolted at her, and leaped into her arms. Ruki held her close to her, even though this child was a stranger to her. All she knew was that she was glad she had gotten this child. She didn’t want to let her suffer anymore than she should, and she shouldn’t have suffered at all. The girl finally let go, and stood back to look at Ruki.
“You said that you wanted to take me to a home that was better than this one. Well I’ve decided what home I want to go to.” Ash said, with a smile on her face.
“Good, where is it that you were planning to go, little Ash?” Ruki asked Ash, it was easier if the girl already knew where she wanted to go. It was easier for well everything.

“With you, of course, I am going to live with you.” Ash said, and Ruki would have normally objected, but she couldn’t say no to her, and besides Ruki had kind have wanted to keep her a little bit anyway, so it was better this way.
“Okay.” Ruki said, and she lowered herself so that Ash could climb on to her back, and Ash did. Ruki was surprised by how light the girl was. She was so light, that she barely noticed she was there at all.
“So, how were you and that man getting in and out of this place? You know I don’t live in the village, I live out in the woods.” Ruki said, and she felt the girl tense up, “Don’t worry its better than living in this so called village.” Ruki reassured her, and she felt Ash relax a little bit.
“Okay, so go behind our house, and walk through the small trail, and you will come to the fence, and there is a gate that’s hidden by ivy on the outside and inside.” Ash said, and Ruki did as she was told and she did come to a gate. She went out it, and she felt a lot better to back into the forest already. As fast as she could, she ran back up the trails to her den. It took about an hour, because she had to stop to walk because of Ash.
Though, Ruki was just happy with the fact that she had saved this girl, and that she was going to be staying with her. Something about this girl still seemed familiar, but whatever the reason she would find out in time.
