Chapter 3: chapter 3
Naruto grabbed the man by the throat, and lifted him up into the air, pushing him up against the wall.
"You three... leave now." Naruto glared at the three of them with squinted eyes, and bared teeth. His anger alone was enough to cow them as he dropped the man he was holding to his teeth, and he quickly started to run away before his friends did.
"Oh my god... yeah, sure... right away sir!"
Like that, the three men ran away from Naruto, and Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head in annoyance. He winced in pain, since his injured arm had been the one he used to pick the guy up. Naruto looked at the girl and stepped forward, and he looked down at her carefully with squinted eyes, even leaning down to look at her in the face.
"Hey-"
"I'm so-sorry, this is all I have... th-thank you sir!" She took out her wallet, and she took all of the bills out of it. She pushed them into Naruto's hand, and she ran in the direction of her home.
"-are you okay?" Naruto finished what he was going to ask her, since he hadn't seen any injuries on her, he had wanted to make sure she would be okay to walk home by herself. Looking at the money, he noticed that she had accidentally given him her student ID as well. Naruto looked over at the elderly couple, who just averted there eyes from him. Naruto glared at them after a moment, when he realized they weren't going to do a think to help that girl before he showed up.
Naruto turned and started to walk.
-At the Police Station Nearby Later-
"Thank you young man, we'll be sure this girl gets her money and student ID back to her." The police officer was giving Naruto was suspicious eye, but he accepted the ID and money all the same. His suspicion alone wasn't enough for him to try and arrest Naruto, so in the end, he was forced to take the stuff and not ask anymore questions.
Naruto looked at the man's eyes, and the man averted his eyes from him, so Naruto just sighed to himself and turned to keep walking.
Thankfully, there had been a station between where he had been, and the train station, so he could still get home before the last train of the hour left.
"Yeah, make sure she does." Naruto grunted out as he put his hands in his pockets.
Naruto wasn't angry at the girl.
She had been in a scary situation, and a big guy like him wouldn't make her fear any easier. He knew that he wasn't exactly easy to understand, so he couldn't blame her for being a little afraid of him. She was being pressured into going somewhere alone with those dirtbags, and he knew exactly what they were going to do to her.
