Capture a Kidnapper

We sat around the lunch table as my mom explained the situation to us . " Lady April is the daughter of a Lord so it is no surprise that she is a target for kidnappers , they would probably hold her for ransom . The three men that invaded the estate are part of a four man cell , the fourth person didn't join them as the person is their healer . She probably stayed in their hideout while the three of them came for Lady April . Jiang and Niko are bounty hunters , they do not use Chakra and don't use jutsu . The third man that Sora killed was named Ian , he was a genjutsu specialist . Ironically,  his death led to the other two's downfall . Jiang probably took Niko back to their healer Zera , these two will come again especially if their client is paying well ."

I looked at my mom , "bounty hunters aren't loyal to their client , they only work for the money not respect . If we can put them in a situation where they don't have a choice  , they can give us their client's name ". Mymom nodded " we will set a trap , something simple that they won't see coming . These bounty hunters care more about themselves than their client so we give them a choice , their lives or their client's identity. It's a no brainer what they'd pick "

After this discussion,  we made our plans for the simple trap . Kaede would dress as Lady April and wear a wig , she would sit in the flower bed and "pick" flowers as I guard her . When the two bounty hunters return , I will "attack" them and it'll lead them into the position we need for Takashi to use his justu and trap them . Once we trap them we will threaten their life and give them the ultimatum . My mother will be with the real Lady April in her bedroom for safety , so many things could go wrong so it's best to play it safe and avoid and unnecessary problems .

That next morning Kaede dressed as Lady April and sat in the flower garden as I stood nearby acting as her body guard . And just as my mother predicted , Jiang and Niko returned jumping over the walls again . This time they didn't waste time talking as they rushed directly at us , throwing kunai my way . I pulled out my own kunai to deflect theirs , "Lady April " suddenly began to run . Niko hissed " oh no you don't !" , Niko and Jiang ignored me and went directly for her taking the bait that we laid so easily . When she came to a stop at a dead end , the two chuckled believing that they won but they were in for a surprise as Takashi suddenly appeared and jumped from the building beside them and landed on the ground , he did his earth style Justu and barried them both up to their shoulders .

I walked up to the two and held my kunai to Jiang's throat as Takashi held one against Niko's throat . Kaede pulled off the wig to expose the obvious trap , the two bounty hunters looked at one another in shock and then anger . It was obvious that this quick grab plan they had , wasn't their choice .

My mom walked out the building with Lady April following her , my mother smirked at the sight before us " well then ...how about a deal ?" , Niko huffed " we won't deal with you ! "  . Takashi held the kunai closer to his throat drawing blood , Niko stiffened . Jiang rolled his eyes " let me guess , you release us after we tell you our employer's name ?"

My mom crossed her arms " yep . It's that simple " , Kaede watched the two discuss the pros and cons of the idea and sighed loudly . "Oh come on , there's no way that this client is more important then your lives , or are you so foolish ?" . Jiang glared at Kaede annoyed by the insinuation , Niko clicked his tongue " Fine ! Our employer is a Lord . Lord  Pozar ."

My mom frowned " what would a Lord want with a little girl ?" , Jiang sighed "we asked the same thing , we aren't so messed up to give a little girl to an old man . He then explained his reasoning , he was engaged to Lady Yuma and they were together everyday , day and night for months .  Then she suddenly stopped seeing him , the next thing he knows is that she is married to another man and had a child , he suspects the child to be his "

My mother was putting the pieces together " and what's his reasoning for that statement?" , Niko looked at Lady April " besides the obvious hereditary blue  eyes ....Lady Yuma announced her pregnancy only a month after dating her new man but she gave birth two months earlier than she was due...and yet the child was full term . "

My mother looked at April as all this information crashed onto her "My daddy...isn't my real daddy ?!"
