Like A Walk In The Park (Part 4)

*Ren's Perspective*

-A few Hours Earlier -

I stood in the middle of several Salamank corpses as I wiped the blood from my blade, panting heavily. Looking over, I could see that crazy woman Ki glaring at me before she too cleared her daggers and sheathed them. She started walking towards me and I shivered a little.

Ever since she spent 2 hours beating the living the daylights out of me when we first met as a warning not to betray Yuki, I have found myself scared of her. My ribs still burn when I think about it. I at least felt a little good getting a few kicks to her stomach that day.

Ki raised me up by my collar and shook me.

" You said that you would protect him! YOU PROMISED! Now he is in the damn hands of those Vance black market traders, Delta and Kelt!!! " Said Ki, her voice was rougher than her usual maid tone.

[ I wish Yuki could see her like this! ]

My hands had unwittingly turned into fists as she shook me and anger crossed my face. I thought about all the abuse that has happened since I got to Aikyo manor at her hands.

[ If it wasn't got Gramps and Yuki I would...!]

" Oh, here we go! Blame me for not being able to protect him, how was I supposed to know that two of the nastiest people from the Vance black market would throw spirit beast hormones on us!? Our mission was only to train Yuki for a few days in case cockroaches appeared to cause trouble!" I retorted as my face went red.

Ki took a step back and clicked her tongue.

" The famous White Fang pissing his pants over a few black market chumps!" Ki responded with acid dripping from each word.

" I was trying to stop my head from getting bitten off by seven rank 4 beasts! So were you miss Death Dealer. Why couldn't you grab him in time?! Just blaming me isn't going to sort this out!! He's gone!" I responded.

" Mmm he's gone" Replied Ki with words that I barely caught, the angry mask on her face disappeared and was replaced by a complex one I was unable to read.

She stood quietly for a moment before she walked over to a nearby tree and punched it repeatedly.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

" Hey stop that it, won't bring him back! We need to think of what to do next! " I said after a moment.

I watched as her knuckles bled.

The punching stopped for a moment. She rested her head on the now hole filled trunk and said self deprecatingly. " I took this job just three years ago, I thought getting paid to watch a brat wouldn't be so bad. Watching him grow up... He grew on me ya know... Now for the first time ever, he actually needed me and I failed him."

" There is still a chance those worms don't know who they've picked up! Yuki is a smart kid, I am sure he won't have told them anything. If I were them I would ..." I said out loud in thought.

Ki looked up at me, her face seemingly grateful.

" Go to the middle section of the Tama forest then make my way to the border," said Ki

" Why the middle section?" I replied confused.

" There is a gap in the wall that slave traders use for human trafficking there. I've snuck through it a few times for missions in Vance. The king plays dumb and pretends it doesn't exist so he can keep an eye on their movements, better he knows where the hole is rather than those Vance chumps building a new one!" Ki responded as the colour returned to her face.
