TW: Blood, mention of suicide

~~~

"Whoa, hold on. Our Kei?" Chifuyu said in disbelief, not sure he heard it right so he leaned over to Peh Yan which he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Not like there's a lot of Kei 'round 'ere." He stared at the three of them who looked completely shocked to the core. There was a moment of silence before he finally realised it. "Oh! He's your stalker?" He gasped out loud.

Pah Chin gazed at him then whispered, "I feel smart when I'm with you." The two then started bickering with each other. Chifuyu stood up suddenly while grabbing his phone in his pocket.

"I'm calling Mikey." He stated then walked away without waiting for a response.

Y/n just sat there in silence trying to comprehend the information she just received. It was not a horrific truth but it caught her off guard knowing that he was able to do more than what he did in the past.

"I'm gonna go." She announced and reached for her bag, making the two stopped talking. "It's fine, I can drive home." Y/n said when they offered her a ride. She glanced at Chifuyu who seems to be in distress over the phone. "Tell him I'll call him later, yeah?"

They nodded in response, no words coming out of them but their looks were enough for her to understand.

'Be careful.'

Now, that was out of the way, she got only one solution to the problem— focus back on the root. She walked back to where she was coming from, not sure if it was the right track or not but she continued to walk until she saw the sight of the road in front of her.

Then, she stopped walking when she felt something shattered beneath her. Crouching down to see what she stepped on, the sun was glimmering on the glasses from the watch she broke. Before she could grab it, a shadow hovered above her, making her looked up from the source.

He was smiling like a toddler; it pisses her off. "I like this position." Of course, he did.

Y/n straightened herself to keep a closer look at him. Hanma appeared to be the same, like the first time they met. Nothing changed about him, which only made her sick of him.

"So, what did you and- " He glanced behind her like there was someone there between the sea of trees. "...your little friends were talking about?"

She gave him a mocking smile. "Don't worry, it's not about you."

A whistle left his mouth. "Damn, not my lucky day huh? Next time it is then." He bent down to her face. "I'll make sure I'm the only thing you talk about."

His big nose was poking hers, making her furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance. Then, she walked past him while muttering something under her breath. "If I let you."

Hanma barely heard it but he didn't comment on that, his grin only widened while following her fast steps like she can lose him by doing that.

Weirdly, he said nothing. Just silently following her while admiring the back view of her rear. She could feel his eyes on her ass. At first, she pretended like it didn't bother her. But his stares were burning his way up her hole that it made her uncomfortable.

She froze on her tracks, taking a deep breath to turn around. He was staring holes at her back, murmuring lowly, "Oops, they stop bouncing."

Y/n thought of different ways to smack his head, must be easy since there was nothing inside that head to begin with. "What do you want?"

It was like a battle to look away, but her threatening voice cut his attention. He stared at her for a second before the grin was back on his face. "Solution."

"I'm sorry, what?" She raised her voice at him, making Hanma twitched his eyes but ignored her attitude towards him. There was something more important.

"I'm an assassin, Y/n. Just say the word." He replied. His tone was really convincing to the point that she almost believed it.

She knew what he meant by that. He wanted her to ask him to kill Kei. "And why would I trust your words when he hired you first?"

He raised his shoulders while shoving down his hands in his pocket. "Because I'm an assassin."

Her mind was working hard to consider his offer. It could get her in trouble if things didn't work out how she liked it. Heck, things could get worse than it did before.

"Aha! That's a yes!" He exclaimed loudly while pointing at her face.

She scrunched up her nose. "I didn't say anything."

"I can read your eyes. You're just too shy to say it." He petted her head like she was some dog with anger issues. Then, his hand moved lower to rest on the nape of her neck.

"Wanna hear the plan?" He asked with crazy eyes.

~~~

The metallic smell was pushing her limits. She didn't know if she can stand another hour with her face covered in blood, bruises here and there that she made it on her own by hitting herself. This was the 'Hanma's plan' as he called it.

"Wait 'til the police come. It'll be like a domestic violence." She replayed what he said in her head as many times as she could. He then continued building up the plot. "You didn't wake up after the beating which he thought you might be dead. Out of guilt, he ran off to somewhere and boom!-" Hanma clicked his fingers.

"He killed himself." The last part was when he actually kills Kei. He was going to make it like suicide, his specialty in this line of work.

Her bottom started to hurt from sitting on the cold floor for hours. He said he was going to call the police but that was like three hours ago, it was getting dark outside.

The doorknob rattled, making her flinched. Finally, they were here but the sound of the lock pad made her sceptical. Did the police know the password? The wooden door opened with a creak, revealing who it was, sending chills down her spine.

It was not the goddamn cops.

"Honey?!"
