Dawn of the new era

Chapter 20

A person brushes through the bushes from the shadows unscathed, approaches a shadowy figure leaning against a tree, there shimmering bright orange eyes, looks at the masked person in a dark purple cloak in displeasure. "Woman is looking for you, near next town." With closed eyes and folded arms holding onto a kunai in one hand, the shadowy figure notifys the person in the cloak without wasted breath, the cloak person pauses momentarily in front of the shadowy figure before walking past them, the cloak person heads toward the patch of bushes out of sight leaving the shadowy figure without a word or a glance back, the shadowy figure throws a kunai a few times in the air as they catch it on the third time they point the kunai and click there tongue in disprovale as they glare at the direction the cloak person walked. "Someday." they put the kunai down as they sharply look away and head the opposite direction of the cloak person.      

Sakura hears the loud gunshot and hurrys into the forest to find mizuki unbeknown where exactly she could be located, not been giving the exact location mizuki hideous should be.

The cloak person walks through the dark forest heading in the direction of a town, a yell that sounded like it belonged to a woman followed by a loud noise catches the cloak person attention who stops to look in the direction of the noise and in haste they run to where they heard the sound come from breezily pushing leaves out the way.

The guys friend holds onto mizuki while the other guy standing in front of her smugly smiles at her situation. "Not so tough now are you?" The guy laughs as mizuki stares at the weapon as she struggles to get out of the guys friend grip she closes her eyes and kicks upwards in front of her, she kicks the guys hand causing the guys hand to aim upwards he ends up shooting the sky, the loud noise echos in the sky resulting in everyone hearing the shot, the weapon falls out of his hand onto the ground next to her and his friend, the guy hold his hand in pain as he glare at her. "Ive had it! Now im angery!" The guy shouts as he leans to pick up the gun again mizuki in shock with still closed eyes.  

The cloak person approaches the scene as they look through the opening of leaves created by trees and bushes around them, they see two guys and a woman in a open part of the forest, they see one guy is holding the woman from behind, whereas the other guy is leaning down to pick up a shining object, the cloak person pushes through the leaves out of there way and runs toward the two guys in blinding speed. "L-look out, behind you!" the guys friend shouts as he spots the cloak person run towards them. "what are you-." The guy looks at his friend confused as he turns around he sees a person in a dark purple cloak wearing a mask above him. "Y-your m-." The guy with wide eyes looks at the cloak person in fright. The cloak person standing avoid the guy from behind, grabs the guys wrist thats reaching for the gun on the ground, the cloak person grabs onto his wrist and twist the guys arm behind his back forcing him to stand up in pain. "Ugh! W-why you!" The guys wails out unable to look back, the cloak person tightens there grip on the guys arm and forcible kicks the guys back with the heel of there high boot into the tree in front of them, the hard impact of the tree knock the guy unconscious on the ground, the cloak person walks over to the unconscious guy on the ground and looks downwards at them in silence.

 "No... Now you did it!" The guys friends angerly shouts and with a twist of his arm he lets go and throws mizuki to the ground as he puts his arm out to grab the cloak person, they stop looking down and turn around, the cloak person grabs onto the guys friend arm with a firm grip and throws the guy over there shoulder onto the hard ground with all of the guys body weight he gets the wind out of him and lys on the ground unable to move, with the two guys in front of them taking down the cloak person heads up into a sturdy tree scouting around to find anyone els around.     

Mizuki gets throw onto the hard ground as she lys on the ground she opens her eyes and sits up on the ground, she looks around her surroundings and finds the two guy who were after her unconscious and injured on the ground as well. "W-what... Happened... What, was the noise... Earlyer?" Mizuki in the cover of night can vastly see a figure up on a tree across from her standing ideally on a tree branch, the cloak person looking around doesn't see anybody els around, they take one last glace at mizuki on the ground who manages to stand on her feet again she stares at the cloak person, they jump down from the branch and runs past her they utter a few words less than two inches from her, mizuki surprised quickly looks back to find that they disappeared just as quickly as they came back into the forest, mizuki trys to follow the person but falls down to her injury. "W-was that! What did they mean by that?" mizuki quietly questions to herself as she watching the cloak person leave her sights.     

As the cloak person runs through the dark forest they barley sees a silhouette of a person in front of them, as the cloak person gets closer they almost run into another woman who looks lost, the cloak person almost collides with her but pauses for a second as they view her profile the woman looks at them in a daze. "I-im sorry if i got in your way im looking for someone, a friendly lady that should be around here. Her name is mizuki" Sakura bashfully explain as she adjust her eye sight to the dark, her eyes focus and she sees a person in a dark purple cloak wearing a mask look at her. "Y-your midnight from the bounty board aren't you?" Sakura question in surprise, the cloak person doesn't respond only remains silent. "I was hoping i could talk to you, do you know where mizuki is?" Sakura questions anxiously with a conflicting smile, the cloak person still doesn't answer her questions just continues to remain still at her sight. "C-could i go with you?" Sakura hesitantly ask as she takes a step closer to them, they quietly walk past her in a slow pace without a glance back at her hinting to follow, sakura cheerfully smiles as she follows them to an abandon warehouse. 

As they approach the abandon warehouse they walk inside sakura confuse looks around the big open building, a man with dark myrtle green hair waits inside leaning against the wall of the building looks at them both in disdain. "Thats not the woman." The myrtle hair man nonchalantly utters as he stops leaning against the wall, he folds his arms in disappointment, midnight walks pass him in a quiet tone. "She stays." They say while walks pass him, the myrtle hair man clicks his tongue in annoyance. "Not my objective either way." The myrtle hair man not interested comments. "I-im sorry if im getting in your way." Sakura sadly says with downcast eyes, upon closer observation the myrtle hair man looks at her with slightly widen eyes. "You have the scent of that man." The myrtle hair man in a complex mixture of irritation and fright remarks to her. "A-a man..? There was one, he said something about looking for someone, could that have been you?" Sakura curiously ask confused. "He's here... told him i had it." The myrtle hair man agitated notes. "W-what might be your name?" Sakura nervously questions. "I have no name that belongs to me, there was an old man who called me kamui." Kamui reluctantly reveals to sakura who gives him a pained expression. "kamui? That man said the same thing, that he didnt have a name either." Sakura mentioned in a soft tone. "Were both assassins, having pointless things like names only get in the way, there unnecessary." Kamui coldly points out his expression unchanged. "You say that but i dont think you have that type of atmosphere about you." Sakura warmly smiles to kamui, he sees her welcoming smile in surprise "You have that same preposterous look he did." Kamui looks away  from her unamused.
