- Deadly - Chapter 15

I rest my back against a tree, trying to catch my breath. I think I lost them.

"Who'd you piss off?" I heard a deep voice speaking. I look around my surroundings and see no one here. I get off the tree and push my hair out of my face.

"Who's there?" I asked. I'm not afraid anymore. Whoever you are you can't scare me. Out of nowhere, a man jumped in front of me. I take a step back as he slowly gets up.

Woah he's tall.

"Ban" he replied with a smirk "what are you, like some sort of chinchilla?" Ban asked as he reaches for my ears. I slap his hand away.

"No, and don't touch me"  I glared. "Or else"

He burst into laughter while holding his stomach. "Or else?" He laughs harder "little girl I'll like to see you try" he reaches for me ears again. I grab his wrist, jumped over his body landing right behind him and pinned him to the floor while holding his arm back.

"Don't come near me again or I'll break your arm next time"  I growled at him. He then pushed himself off the floor ripping off his own arm.

I look at him confused and disgusted at the same time. "Ah~" he winced a bit "I really got to get used to that,"  he said while rubbing his shoulder that used to have an arm.

"What....just happened?" I asked, still holding his arm in my hand.

"Well you see it doesn't matter how many times you'll cut my arm off or even kill me" he started to say and then his arm re-appeared as if he didn't just cut it off " It'll come back" he finished.

I threw his arm away from me and wiped my hands off my skirt. "That's gross" I replied and started stepping away from him.

"Wait! You haven't even told me your name yet" He reached out for my hand but I pulled it back. I gave him a stern look. I don't think it's smart to give out my name. But I'm pretty sure my ears and tail give it away. 

"You don't know my name?" I asked. Everybody knows my name. My freaking face is on the bounty list. 

"Well, if I knew who you were I wouldn't ask for your name" He replied, resting his hands behind his head. 

I look away from him and start thinking. All the people I bump into either want my head or turn me in. 

"Guess I'm calling you chinchilla since you won't answer me" He sighed. 

"I'm not a chinchilla!! I'm a bunny for crying out loud!!" I throw my arms in the air and pout my face. He starts laughing at me while putting his hands up in defense. 

"Geez okay, okay" He tried calming me down. "So who were those guys chasing you. Did you steal some money from them?" He asked. 

"No, but I'm pretty sure they wanted to kill me" I replied. 

"Woah little miss bunny here must have done something really bad to get herself into some trouble," He said and I shake my head. 

"I was imprisoned for a crime I didn't commit years ago. There are still people out there who want me dead and right now my only mission to find the one person who saved me" I informed him. I then walked away from Ban not wanting to explain my whole life to him. But he ended up following me. 

"Could you stop following me?" I said, still keeping my eyes focused in front of me. 

"Oh come on. It was just starting to get interesting. Plus I think we have a lot in common than you think" He said, walking backward in front of me. I roll my eyes at him. "Why don't we go to a bar and talk about it there" He insisted. My eyes glow from the thought of drinking.

It's dark outside, ban and I are sitting at the corner of the bar. Unfortanly I'm not going to drink, cause when I do I don't have control of my action and that's the last thing I need right now when I'm with this stranger about to share my whole life story to him.  

"So," he said, taking a sip "Who's this guy you're looking for? I might know him" He took another sip. I look down at my hands and then to the cup of water in front of me. 

"Meliodas" I answered. 

"Nope never heard of him" he stated. I push a string of hair behind my ear. 

"Remember when I said I was imprisoned?" I look up to him and he nods his head, "We'll He's the one that let me out of that living hell. I was there for 'killing' the king and his family, at first, I thought Meliodas was the one who killed them. Framing me for the King's death but about a month later he came back to me and found me bruised and tortured. To this day I don't know what he was doing that month he was gone" I take a big gulp of water. 

"Seems to me like this Meliodas guy...." he looked directly into my eyes "Doesn't know how to treat a pretty woman," He said. I blush at his comment. "but how come you're the only bunny looking creature around here?" He asked and took another sip. 

"Well...when Meliodas found me beaten to death he lost his cool and destroyed the kingdom in one blow, leaving no one alive" I stated. Ban spit out his drink from his mouth almost choking. 

"How did you not die from the explosion?" he poked my face making sure he's not seeing a ghost or something. 

"He was holding me tight from what I can remember and his energy was released from behind him, protecting me inside his arms" I reply and hold my arms, trying to remember his soft touch. Ban put his mug down and sighed. I look up at him. 

"what?" I asked. He shakes his head. "You had me tell you my whole story now you tell me yours!" I grabbed his mug and moved it away from us. He chuckled. 

"I recently just lost someone close to me" He started to say. I gasp and put my hand on his shoulder. "S-she..." he sniffs. 

"Woah Bon it's okay you don't actually have to tell me. I get it" I say trying my best to have a genuine smile. He sniffs and looks at me in confusion. 

"Did you just call me Bon?" He asked. I look to the side without moving my head. 

"Yeeeesssss....?" I replied, unsure why he asked that. 

"My name is Ban" he corrected. My lips are in the shape of a line of how embarrassed I got. "All this time you thought my name was Bon?" He started laughing. I slowly nod my head and he laughs more. 

"Hey! stop laughing they both sound the same okay! Ban, Bon. You see they sound the same!" I argued. 

"There's a slight difference but I'll let it slide. Bon" he said, repeating the name Bon the same way I said it. 

"Are you calling me Bon now?" I raised an eyebrow and did a shy smirk. 

"Well, I know about your life and not your name. And I kinda like Bon for you. Bon" he keeps rambling. I sigh and ask the bartender for a drink. It's gonna be a long night. 

February 14

Happy birthday, Ban!
