And as they walked further, surely enough, five men followed.
"Yuyu… What are we going to do?" Noelle asked in a small voice.
She remembered Cisco's words that Yuyu was the equivalent of a small army, and given that she'd been hisbodyguardin the past, Noelle supposed her sister-in-law was quite capable of taking care of herself.
But these were five men. Five burly men. And though Yuyu was a little taller than Noelle, she had a slight, fragile frame. Noelle couldn't imagine how she could ever overpower evenoneof those men—not when the size differences were to her disadvantage.
"You're not going to do anything," Yuyu whispered. "You're to continue walking until the end of the alley. I promise nothing will happen to you."
"But what will happen toyou?"
"Don't worry about it," Yuyu said. "This is actually better since no one will notice us. There are no cameras, too…" she added, musing as she took in her surroundings. "Might be able to find out who sent them…" she trailed off.
Noelle was confused by the fragmented sentences and what Yuyu meant to do. But as she instructed Noelle to continue walking by herself, she obeyed.
She put one foot in front of the other until she felt she was far enough before turning to watch. She was far too curious to not do so.
The sky was a dark blue, night quickly falling. There were a few lights around from the buildings and the street lamps in the distance, but other than that, everything was quite dark. Yet even so Noelle could make out the outlines of the six people as they faced each other.
Yuyu was standing in the middle of the alley, her back to Noelle as she watched the five men approach. They were saying something—Noelle couldn't hear exactlywhat. But her sister-in-law didn't seem in the least surprised or scared.
She simply waited for them to come closer.
When the first guy was upon her, she simply sidestepped, tripping him before bringing her knee to his stomach, delivering a sharp but effective blow that had the man writhing in pain on the ground.
Noelle's eyes flashed wide open with surprise.
Two of the guys were equally shocked, so they went for her at the same time. One of them removed a knife while the other aimed to hold her in order to hurt her. That might have been the plan in the beginning, but as Yuyu gave both men a beaming smile, she moved faster than Noelle had ever seen anyone move before.
In less than a second she had the man's knife out of his hand, the blade jammed in his neck while the other man lay sprawled on the ground, clutching to his chest.
Noelle hadn't even noticed when she'd hurt the other man. Everything was simply a blur as Yuyu moved like a shadow, killing one man after another before they even got the chance to get close to her.
When only two men remained, they took their chances by charging against her in the same idiotic way the others had done, and that too resulted in their premature defeat.
Yet even as all of them were lying on the ground, Yuyu didn't stop. She crouched next to one of them, her fingers tight in his scalp as she asked him questions.
She was interrogating them, Noelle belatedly realized.
So immersed she was in what she was saying, she barely realized when everything was over and Yuyu was back at her side.
"We should go," she said matter-of-factly.
"You… Ehm," Noelle wet her lips as she regarded her. "You've got some blood here," she pointed to Yuyu's cheek.
"Oh," she merely shrugged, wiping herself before leading Noelle out of the alleyway and back to the main street. In the process, they bypassed the men on the ground and Noelle could see the full extent of their injuries.
How could Yuyu have done that by herself?
When Cisco had joked that she was a small army in itself, Noelle had thought it was merely that—a joke. But now she wasn't sure anymore.
Yuyu calmly led her back to the parking lot where their car was waiting with their purchases, sliding into the driver's seat and nodding for Noelle to do the same.
"Yuyu… What was that?" Noelle finally asked as they were on the way back to the house.
"Don't worry about it. Just a little…misunderstanding."
"But you kicked their asses," Noelle burst out.
