Blood runs thick

Chp.1

A strong wind whooshed against the walls of Emily's house , Raindrops sounded like bullets once they hit the windows. Shouts were echoed through the halls of her house, her husband yelled at her to "kick him out or I'll kick you out!" They were referring to a scowling Naib, he couldn't blame them though. He was a burden onto their household , naib couldn't give them anything in return for their help as he had nothing. Emily took naib in after finding out about his job, she didn't want to risk him being hurt so she just asked him to stay until he found a safe occupation. Naib was previously an assassin which only worried Emily.

Emily scrunched her shoulders up and placed her hands together, she began to plead "please, let him stay at least a week! He can't go back to that life, he'll die!" The man only scowled and yelled " He's an adult man! He can take care of himself. stop coddling him! If he dies it's his fault!" Naib stood up and approached the fighting couple "I'll leave if it's a bother, thank you for your hospitality." His voice was as cold and dead as always. Emily reached for naib and gave him a big hug "I'm so sorry , please write to me." Naib huffed a measly sigh "I'll write when I can." The man grumbled as his wife began to tear up " Emily, stop being so soft ."
Emily glared at her husband " let me feel emotions," with that she quickly dragged naib to pack his bags.

Naib began to fold suits and place them ordinarily in the small
Suitcase, Emily prepared a small bag with an umbrella , a few coats, and a snack. "Naib, do visit if you ever have problems. I'll talk to my husband about this." Naib nodded "I'll probably just go to Williams till I get back on my feet."
Emily smiled softly " Speaking of William, how's he doing with ganji?"
"Last I knew William hadn't told Ganji about his situation." Naib sighed.
Emily rubbed the back of her neck "I do hope Ganji won't freak out, William loves him dearly." Naib simply nodded. He couldn't grasp the concept of 'Love' , it just seemed so fake to him. Emily gave naib his old black mask "if you go back to your dangerous job please stay discreet."
Naib grabbed it and stuffed it inside his suitcase, zipping the suitcase closed he turned to Emily "Thank you for all your help, I'll stay in contact."
Emily smiled "Write to me every two days! I want to make sure you're gonna stay safe."
Naib nodded and slid on a coat , he grabbed the umbrella out of Emily's bag for him and started walking out.

As soon as he opened the door he was hit with a strong gust of wind that shoved rain into his face, Naib quickly pushed the umbrella open and brought it above him. His steps were muffled by loud wind and the rain banging onto his umbrella, although he knew he was alone he felt extremely watched. Like something was watching him from afar, he quickly brushed this off as an animal or his own nerves being shot. Naib began to grow cold as he reached the familiar door , before he could even knock the door swung open and William embraced naib in a warm hug . "Naib! How have you been buddy! You must be cold ! Come in ,come in!" William beckoned naib inside . Naib stepped inside after closing his umbrella. "Sorry for the intrusion but I must request something important." William smiled "alright buddy what do you need?" "I need to rest here for tonight if possible, that is all." Naib stated.
William snickered "you came here for a sleepover? I thought you were gonna ask me to kill someone again!"
Naib sighed "I know it's strange but Emily has had me in her care for a while and she refused to let me acquire a occupation ."
William laughed " HA, classic Em. Always so concerned. Also naib it's fine if you stay the night, Ganji is already asleep so be quiet please."
Naib nodded and set his stuff down lightly, "have you seen anything good on the board lately?" Naib asked.
William smiled "nah, Ganji got worried and told me to stop so I got a different job. I miss it though." Naib chuckled lightly "you got dragged into it too, I thought you'd 'always be top dog'" he mimicked a past conversation .
William laughed  "I'm still top dog! Just not in that aspect..." naib scrunched his nose and giggled "ew dude, I don't want to hear that!" He punched William in the arm . "Ha ha sorry, oh but I've been meaning to ask if I could join you on a mission like old times."
Naib slightly smiled "sure, but isn't your 'hubby' gonna be upset?" Naib mocked . William put a finger to his lips "that's why I can't tell him, I miss the fights but I don't want to worry him. So one last match."
Naib nodded and felt his eyes grow heavy "I'm gonna go to sleep, is the couch okay ?"
William smiled "yeah, goodnight naib!"
"Night William."
William walked away from naib and presumedly went to bed, naib grabbed a small blanket out of his bag and huddled himself comfortably on the couch.
