"Just this way" Inu said, leading me to the back door everyone else had gone through.
His long finger bent and wrapped around the crystal door nob, twisting it until it clicked allowing him to pull the door open.
He stepped out without saying a word, just ushering me forward with his body language.
I followed behind him, expecting to see him and all the other butlers, but they were gone. I could faintly sense a few of them but they were clearly experts at hiding their nen.
I looked to Inu, he seemed as surprised as I was.
This must be a trick, they're trying to throw me off guard to make me fai-
My train of thoughts was cut off by the sound of a twig snapping.
We bother shot our eyes to the noise, only now realising how quiet it was before. In the vasttrees surrounding us, one of the butlers had fallen, he was drenched in blood and was clearly in pain, his face drenched in fear, but not just fear, a hint of, something else.
I pondered but before aI could read him Inu grabbed my wrist and ran too him. Before we got to close I put a hand on Inus chest, glancing at him to signify it might be a trap.
He quickly dismissed my warning and kneeled down to the bloodied boy.
He opened his mouth to speak but the boy put a finger to his lips, shooshing him before he could speak. Inu looked up at me and quickly glanced in a different direction to show he wanted to go there. I gave him a confused stare, heseriously wanted to split up, it was probably all a hoax but he did seem genuinely scared, so I just threw my hands up as if to say, why'd I do that, but he just gave me a reassuring look and placed his now removed overcoat on the boys wounds.
I gave him a quick look of frustration before turning and running to the path he had directed I go to.
I decided it would be better if I walked quietly just beside the pathway, just incase, just hidden from view. I quickly covered my aura and began following the trail.
I could faintly hear breathing in the distance.
I picked up my pace while still being quiet.
Once I reached the noise I saw that it was a man in a black cloak standing over a severely injured Butler. He was holding some kind of cane to his throat.
I felt the need to snap his neck but wanted to see it play out just a little longer.
I faintly heard him murdering about some fortune, only to see the canes end become sharp and start cutting the boys neck.
I quickly ran to the man and attached my bungee gum to his throat.
He turned around quickly, trying to stab me with his cane but I evaded, bending my knees back to bend under the attack.
I quickly picked up my leg, throwing myself away whilst also cutting the man's face with my heel.
He staggered back, grabbing the bleeding wound.
Before he could speak I pulled back my bungee gum, pulling him with it.
Clearly he was well planted because I heard a foul *crickeh* come from his spine before he was thrown at me. I quickly moved away, stopping the force of my bungee gum and throwing him behind me.
He got up, running full speed at me but before he could touch me I attached my bungee gum to a tree, causing him to slam backwards into the sharp bark.
He then threw something at me, it slipped past my arm, just barely nicking me. It was clearly laced in some form of venom.
Using my aura I quickly cut off all flow to my arm.
I jumped into the trees swiftly as I thought about what to do with my arm.
It seemed to be some form rattlesnake venom, so naturally I turned the area surrounding the wound into small flowers that blew away in the wind.
I quickly covered the wound and pulled out a pack of cards. The man was dazed but still seemed confident in his work so far.
He clearly had no potential so I threw an eight of hearts directly into his skull, he died on impact.
I ran to the butler that had been under him.
His neck was bleeding pretty heavily but it didn't seem too bad, nothing vital.
I patched it up with my texture surprise and helped him to his feet.
He had mid length blue hair. It went to about mid shoulder blades and had a light curl to it. Part of it was now soaked in blood but that wasn't important, sadening but unimportant.
He put an arm around me, one of his legs appearing injured, and I led him onwards with the oath, unsure of what I should do with him.
He was light so it wasn't much of a bother to help him, the problem was if I had to fight he would just be a target and a dead weight.
I found a soft bush, big enough to conceal the boy, and layed him in it.
I told him to hide his benefits before covering him in a thick layer of  leaves just to be sure.
"Come out when it seems safe. I don't know if this is training or not but you should stay safe regardless."
I continued on the path.
