Eirin nearly had a heart attack when Ichirou started to throw steel darts at her. It destroyed the walls and cut her skin, but she didn't take any direct hits so it was okay.

I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright...! Eirin's heart leaped out of her chest when she saw one coming straight for her face. Her knees gave out from shock and she hit the ground, the dart missing her by chance.

I'm going to die if he keeps doing this! I don't even have anything to defend myself with! The 11 year old looked around frantically, her cool demeanour from before disappearing.

"I thought you wanted to play darts?" Ichirou stood up and walked over to where Eirin had dropped from. He had enough of the game of words and would much rather get his way by force.

Eirin didn't dare say a word and crawled away from where she was before, behind the comfortable chairs, and migrated to the back of another chair. She had to get away from him – as far as possible!

So my cousin wants to kill me and he's thinking we're playing darts?! I'M NOT A DART BOARD! Eirin mentally screamed. She was freaking out and her heart was beating erratically.

"So you were here, dear cousin of mine." Ichirou smiled when he looked over the chair he sat on. He had a steel dart in his hand and waved it near the child's face carelessly, "Why don't you just give it up already? All I want is your blood seal and will, then we're all good. I don't even need to kill you if you do that."

Weren't you going to kill me anyway? The girl thought bitterly.

"Last time I checked, you never said anything along the lines of that." Eirin channelled her inner Sasori again. She had to keep up a brave face, or else it'd be all over for her. "You're going to kill me anyway, because I'm a hindrance."

"Oh?" Ichirou raised a brow, surprised by her chance of demeanour. "You really are a lot smarter than you look. Why are you running away then?"

"Gee, I don't know, to not get killed?" Eirin snapped.

Ichirou stabbed the dart into the chair and forcibly grabbed her wrist, pulling her up and throwing her onto the sofa. She landed with a light thud, frowning slightly when she saw Ichirou pull something out from his clothes.

"Here's some paper." He placed the paper and pen on the table. "Write your will and I'll let you go."

"What, so no blood seal?"

"That should be included too."

Eirin just sat there, unmoving. She knew she couldn't escape right now, and even if she did, she'd either run straight into a battlefield or she would be lost within the castle walls.

I HAVE NO WAY OUT?! Eirin screamed mentally. Why...?

She gulped thickly when she saw the paper in front of her.

It's all or nothing.

Most of Sasori's puppets had been sliced up, but they had done their duty. He smirked when Yuki started to feel the effects of the poison.

"W-what...the..." Random parts of Yuki's body started to go purple and blue, before slowly going black. "What the heck did you do?!" His left arm was the first victim.

"It's poison." Chiyo answered simply. "The same thing that happened to the other guy...but worse."

Sasori eyed his grandma with an impassive expression. She had just stolen what he wanted to say. He dismissed it and jumped off to where Hana was. He let his grandma deal with Yuki.
