I will kill you first - Hanazo (mlbb)

Part 13

I felt too nervous. I was not keen on the idea of...I don't know it was not robbing since we were not about to steal anything, but still, I didn't want to threaten the poor doctor. But here we were. Hanzo opened the door and walked in fast I was behind him. The doctor was a short man without a lot of hair on his head...and he looked shocked.

He was gesturing with his hands asking what's happening.

"We are here for a little favour..." Hanzo's tone was scary and the doctors' hands were shaking already. I was starting to realize that the man was about to scream and run. I pushed Hanzo to the side and walked forward. My vision was still blurry and I wanted to lay down but I managed to stay on my feet and took the mask off and smiled.

"I am sorry...he can be scary sometimes. It's not intentional. " the doctor looked at me and then back at something behind me.... Probably Hanzo. "It's pretty obvious we are here to hunt killers, not you...but I managed to get myself in some kind of trap in the forest and I am afraid I think there was poison in it." I explained as calmly as I could. "Can you help me?" I took a glance at Hanzo behind me. He was leaning on the wall, have crossed his hand in front of his chest and was looking at me like I was a compleat idiot... but at the same time, it looks like he was having fun. Probably waiting for the moment when the doctor realizes I was lying and calls the guards or someone...

"Oh," the man laughed nervously "It's fine. Okay. I can help. Show me the wound, and tell me what you feel and we will try to figure what poisoned you together." He gestured towards the chair and I sat down. I loosened the top a little bit and took my arm out of the sleeve so the wound will be visible. It was not as bloody anymore, but it was all red around and it was swollen. The doctor touched my arm and I hissed in pain. Shit, this hurts...

While he was looking at the wound I was telling him all about the symptoms. He nodded and said he had an idea.

"You are lucky." He said "If you had more of the poison in your body you would've been paralyzed in minutes...your lungs, heart, everything would've stopped and you would've been dead within minutes." He explained and I felt bad. "I have something that can help with the leftover poison in your body...but It will probably take a week or two more before you are fully recovered." It was all good. A week or two...I would be able to fight in three days. It's a promise.

"Come. Your partner can stay here" I put my clothes back where they were supposed to stay and tried to make a few steps.

"I would prefer it if I came with you." I looked at Hanzo and gave him a weird look... I was not going to run. Wasn't it already obvious that I was not able to?

"No," I said "My cousin can stay here..." if looks could kill... I would've been dead. I walked behind the doctor in the next room. He took a bottle with something and looked at it.

"Here. Just take a spoon of this twice a day and..." and I hit him as hard as I could. I knew I could knock him out...but I could do it when I was alright. Now the hit only sent him on the ground. I grabbed the bottle and tried to run away but my head started to spin again. Two steps forward and I heard the doctor shouting something along the lines of "stupid bitch" but I was too focused on getting to the door to listen closely. The door opened in front of me and a second later I was no longer on my feet.

"Hold tight." And I did...even though I was not sure if I was holding him at all...all I knew was that I was clinging on the little bottle that I stole.

Hanzo was running all the way through the city. I was hearing all the screams that he should look where he was going.... That he should not run like that in the middle of the city, but all I was focused on was holding the little bottle.

"Can you walk?" he asked and I said yes. He put me on the ground and we started walking back to the house. I was a little mad at myself. I was sure the doctor's face would bruise... if I was not sick I could've knocked him out without hurting him... I mean he was just trying to do his job...and we robbed him...and I hit him. "What's with the face?" Hanzo asked and I looked at him.

"I just..."

"If you are about to say that you feel bad for stealing I will end you." He threatened me and I nodded. Okay... I would not say a thing. "It's not like that's the first time you are stealing something..." I looked at him shocked.

"What?" I rolled his eyes.

"You think I would not recognize the weapon that you were carrying around the first day? Or the little trick you used to catch me in that flower?" I was looking at the ground. "Or they gave it to you?" he already knew the answer...so I never said anything about it.

"I don't think you will be able to go back to the town." I took a glance at him.

"I don't think I will be..." he sounded honest. "but it's fine. There are other towns around." The word went sideways again and I grabbed the nearby tree to keep my balance. He sighed with annoyance and grabbed my arm and that's how we walked all the way back to the house. I sat on the nearby chair and he poured a glass of water. I thought it was for him but he pushed it in my direction. "And another thing, I already guessed that you have zero common sense when it comes to safety, but just so you know... " I looked at him and for a second it looked like he was not sure what to say or how to say it. "It was stupid to leave me in the other room when you can't even stand on your feet. And It was even more stupid to show him your face... What were you even thinking?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter if he saw my face. He would not see me ever again." I answered and he was looking angry.

"Whatever..." he tried to walk away but I was already a little angry myself so I kept talking.

"Either way what does it matter if he saw my face or not? It's not like he would remember me or something like that." He turned around and looked at me again.

"But even if he can't tell all your features spot on he can still ask around town. What if he talks to the woman we bought food from?" I knew all he was saying might make sense... but I also felt the stingy feeling from earlier.

"Worried about your cousin's reputation?" he rolled his eyes.

"You are acting completely childish. I think you need some sleep."

***

Her face was red and I was not sure if it was because she was not feeling well or because he was angry. I was not in the mood for fights. She has done enough reckless things for one day.

"I...I am not childish." She said and tried to sound calm. I looked at her again. And just as I thought it took her a second to lose the calm expression she had on her face. "I am sick of this. Even you are treating me like I am..." she sighed. Like what? I was actually a little curious. "I...I am sorry. It just made me feel weak. All of this." The look she had on her face... I couldn't look at her so I looked the other way.

"You are not weak." I said. "So don't feel like you are. Now, will you stop with this expression... it's pissing me off." She laughed a little.

"I am tired...I think I will sleep a little." She grabbed the blanket that I left for her, sat on the ground, and rested her head on the wall. "Hey...I have a question?" I was waiting for her next words patiently. "Do all men only like cute girls?" I was sure the expression I had on my face was full of confusion. She glanced at me and then at the floor. "You know...like the umbrella girl Haya's with?" I rolled my eyes.

"Do all women like the same men?" she was silent "The answer's no. Now sleep I am done with your weird mood and desire to pick up fights." Stupid...she was so clueless it was almost painful to watch. She should be blind if she thinks that she should've been a short cute loli to turn heads. It was obvious enough while we were in the town. Didn't she realise that even the stupid doctor was a little too busy looking at other things and not her wound? But I think she was too busy thinking about her shadow ninja again since she asked. Maybe being back in the town made her remember the last time we went there. Maybe this triggered all the bad mood and weird questions. I was not sure but didn't feel like asking. At one point I realized I went to check on her... what was I even thinking? I decided that I don't care if she is dead or alive, or at least that I shouldn't care, and went out to check on the traps in the forest...
