I will kill you first - Hanazo (mlbb)

Part 11

I woke up on my own the next day. I looked around the house...or at least the room I was in, but it was empty. When I went out Hanzo was meditating. He opened his eyes and looked at me the second he heard the door. I was balancing my weight from one foot to the other a little nervous.

"Are you done being overdramatic?" he asked and I nodded. "Good." he walked closer to me. "Want to come with me? I have to check something In the woods." I nodded. We walked in silence. I was looking around searching for clues as to what he might want to check, but I was not sure.

I realized it after he looked at something. It was not a trap. It was a way to know if a person has crossed the area. There were no footsteps. It was the same for the other four that we checked. The fifed one had some traces of man crossing. Hanzo looked around for other clues. I was wondering why he was willingly taking me with him, but I was not going to ask.

"They went this way." He murmured and walked left. Was he going to hunt the people down and kill them? "You bored, girl?" he asked. I saw the glimpse in his eyes.

"Why?" I asked. Was I looking bored? I wasn't. I was just wondering...

"Do you want to do something for me?"I raised one eyebrow. "I guess you are tired of eating just berries all the time. Find the intruders. Talk to them. See if they are here because they want to kill me, or are just dumb enough to get lost. Then you can come back and tell me." I was looking at him with suspicion.

"So it will be easier for you to kill them?" I asked. He laughed.
"Do you really want an answer?" no... I don't think so. "See you later." And he vanished. I was hating this already but I walked through the trees. I was determined to have something normal to eat. It took me no more than 30 minutes to find their little camp. Two people a man and a woman. They were looking... normal?

"Oh... I was not expecting to see other people here!" the woman smiled. I made a few steps forward and waved at them.

"Same goes for me." I laughed. The man looked at me and waved, and then looked back at...I think he was sorting mushrooms. They were definitely not giving me the assassins type vibe. "What are you doing here anyway? Didn't you heard there's a killer living in the forest?" the man didn't move at all. The woman smiled.

"Yes, we did." She was still smiling. "That's why we are here, right dear?" she looked back at the man behind her. Great... This place was going to turn in to a blood bath... "And judging by the way you look...you are here for him as well?" she asked. I was not going to give her another smile, even If she was smiling at me. "You can stay with us for now. But just so you know...we will be the one to find this filthy killer and slay him. The prize will be all ours!" I looked at her with a bored expression.

"Oh, come on...who cares about the prize anyway. It's not that much either way. Fame is what I am after. The might and power." I remembered the first time I met Hanzo... how he told me that I was just a greedy as him... I was not, at least I don't think I am, but pretending was something I was good at. The woman looked shocked.

"What? The amount of money the people from the nearby town said they would give us for his head is big enough! You might've been scammed!" I shrugged. I've seen the posters. I knew the prize... and I told her double what I've seen. "Who...who will give you that much?" she asked. I gave her some random name and said the person lived in another town.

"Maybe you can ask...maybe if you find the Akuma ninja and kill him before me they will give you the same amount that they promised me....but you should probably go back and ask first," I said. The woman was looking at me like she was considering the offer.
