Tension is Growing Really Bad

The moment they were out of Oaken Shield territory, Sotaru said something that triggered Aua so bad that he ended up getting a bruised face. Somehow, he still got up smiling and not caring. Like normal. Soren tried to end the fight, but running into a heated argument with a pissed assassin, ready to kill you was not a good idea. Definitely not.

~Flashblack~

"Wow, this is so boring. It would've been cool to see your teammates die." Sotaru said cheerfully.

Aua glared. "What the (censored for the sake of censoring) did you say?"

"What do you mean? I didn't say anything at all~"

"You're a freaking bleeeeeep, you know that?"

"Am I really?" He grinned. "I'm just speaking out my mind. Personally, they're just a bunch of weaklings like Dark Blood."

"What!?" Soren and Aua yelled at the same time.

"THAT'S IT!" Aua yelled. She threw her dagger at Sotaru who dodged.

"Oh come on. You know you can do better than that~"

"Oh, you wanna go?" Aua said darkly. She threw four of her daggers at once. Sotaru dodged all four, but he barely missed the fourth as it grazed slightly on his cheek and hair.

"Still not fun." He pouted.

"I had enough with your attitude," Aua growled.

"Guys!" Soren yelled. "Stop fighting. This isn't going to get us anywhere!"

"Let them." Sakura grinned. "I wanna see Ms. Military Sergeant here learn their lesson."

Soren decided to ignore their comment and interfere, but by the time he decided, Aua was already fighting like a demon and Sotaru . . . was just leisurely dodging the knives.

"Wait-" Soren didn't get a chance to finish as Sotaru dodged from in front of Soren, but Aua's daggers came flying at Soren and hit him in the shoulder. "OW! Freaking . . . Aua! You need to chill. Sotaru is always like that."

"Then why are you carrying him around?!" Aua asked with frustration.

"It's not my fault he wanted to join," Soren argued.

"If I were you, I would've left him behind without a second thought." She said, starting to calm down.

"Look. I'm sorry about your squad, but we need your help to get to Magicka and stop them once and for all. We have enough proof to suspect them now."

Aua breathed deeply. "Fine. But how are four people going to take down the second top Guild?"

Soren opened his mouth to speak, but the pain from him moving his injured shoulder surfaced. He grimaced. "We'll talk about that later," Aua said. "But we should treat your shoulder first. . . . Sorry . . . about that."

Aua sounded like she was forcing the words out against her own will.

~Present Time~

Soren had his injured shoulder bandaged. Miraculously, Aua had a first aid kit with her. She seemed extremely strict with herself.

"I always make strict rules to make myself prepared." She had said. "One of the rules are, have a first aid kit with you just in case you get injured."

"Then why didn't you bring a first aid kit for your feelings, huh?" Sakura retorted.

Taking out the first aid kit, Aua stared at Sakura, causing her to raise her arms.
