Question (On Hold)

Haven't You Heard of Personal Space? (5)

Karma's POV

The same woman that brought me in earlier was giving out starter supplies and money. The cafe was dark, but me and Nagisa headed down to the table we were at yesterday.

"Let's see, money, directions on nearby areas the drug lord was, some canned food, blanket,a map, and a canteen with a first aid.", the blue haired Shiota dug through the small backpack.

It was ash blue and looked flimsily made but the material was pretty tough, I checked."Maybe I'll just put all my things in this bag instead.", he said. I shrugged and looked blankly around the room.

Some people were grouping up whiles others left off on their own."Ah yes the red haired brat.", a deep voice I can remember from the earlier days. I turn my head and smirk at the man who approached me.

"Grip-san?", Nagisa gasps at the large handed assassin."Here for the money?", I say now fully turning to him. He smirked acknowledging me.

"Don't think I didn't forget about that mustard you spread in my eyes you bastard.", he said dangerously.

I raise my hand a little with a close eyed smile."Oh no I'm not into such childish behavior anymore. Maybe instead you'd rather some diced ghost peppers up your as-", I was cut off by a light slap with a back of hand to the face.

It didn't hurt but it threw me off guard."You haven't changed.", he chuckled lowly,"And no I'm not here for the money I'm just examining.".

I deadpan a little,"So is this just a test or something?". He didn't respond and shrugged."Maybe.", he said mysteriously and walked off."I wonder what that was about.", Nagisa stepped beside me.

I couldn't help but smile a little at how innocent he looked at the moment. I pat his head briefly and turned to get my bag."So Nagisa, are we going to pair up?", I turn to him.

He furrowed his eyebrows."Well yeah. Cmon let's decide on where he's going to most likely be.", he heading toward the door, ready and packed.

"Alright."

"Maybe we should start by looking through the latest areas he's attacked. Even if it's just a group hired for him or something we can trace it back to him.", Nagisa typed through the news in the library's computer.

"Let's see, the majority of villages being attacked are minor coastal villages. The latest one is called Mizuha village in the Southern coastal area of Kyushu.", he continued.

I sighed and looked at the screen."Does anyone know his actually name?", I asked scanning articles while looking at the devastating pictures."He hasn't revealed it. Every just calls him the Bad Don.", the Shiota shook his head.

We currently haven't headed out yet, still gathering Intel on where we should start. It was well around 8 am but our adrenaline was kicking in from the mission's danger."So let's start by going to Kyushu to the village they took over.", I say stretched and grabbing my bag.

"Mhm. This will be the easiest lead we get.", Nagisa said closing the close tab and leaving his seat. That is until he stumbled forward with a blank expression

My arm shot out to support him as he stumbled backwards."E-eh?", he stammered and straightened himself. He put his hand on his head with what seemed either a nervous or an excited face.

Nagisa's POV

What? I was feeling just fine a moment ago. My heart, it's pounding I can hear it in my ears. A suffocating panic was climbing up my throat.
