Daaku stood up slowly eyeing his attacker warily. "What do you want you idiot" he said to the person in a blue gi with the kanji of hunter on it and baggy blue pants. The bounty hunter looked at his prey "I want your head daaku its worth a lot you know" "No I don't know, how much are they offering now that someone so inexperienced should try to defeat me?" Daaku said as he lifted his nagamaki into a position where he could gut the bounty hunter next time he charged him. "Heh they're offering me a pardon of my crimes," said the bounty hunter as he held his katana tighter as he prepared to charge. "and there's a lot of them." The bounty hunter jumped forward and slashed at Daaku's face. Daaku sidestepped the attack and brought his nagamaki up and speared it through the hunter's stomach spilling his guts. The taste of blood startled Daaku. He touched his cheek and when he pulled it away he noticed it was red. Impossible how did he mark me he's just an inexperienced bounty hunter he thought to himself. "Your better than most but now its time to die" Daaku said as he raised his nagamaki and brought it down on the nearly dead hunter, instantly killing him. Whipping his blade up he flicked it to his side flinging blood onto the snow turning it red like the snow beneath his feet. Daaku then slid his nagamaki into it's sheath and strapped the pole-arm to his back. "Grrr its going to take weeks to get the disgusting smell of this idiots blood cleared up." Sighing Daaku picked up the body of the hunter and took it to the nearest stream where he dumped it. Wiping his hands together daaku started back to his camp to pack up and head down the mountain having decided he would find out why someone thought he needed to die. Upon reaching his camp he instantly got his small sling pack and packed the meager belongings into it. After that was done he picked up the many belts that had shurikens hanging on them and hooked them onto his black jeans. He then swept his long silver hair back and tied it with a piece of string. After one last glance at his temporary home Daaku set off towards the place he knew would have the information he needed, el infierno agujero. Daaku pushed open the doors of el infierno agujero and started coughing on the tobacco smoke as he surveyed the people sitting at the tables and bars. He got many strange looks but no one challenged him as he walked up to the bartender and said, "Tell santhos I want to his list of head prices." The bartender merely nodded and walked into the backroom a minute later he emerged again and told Daaku santhos would see him now. As Daaku walked into the backroom he sniffed the air carefully. If there were a bounty on his head Santhos would not hesitate to collect on it. "Whya so nervous?" Santhos said as he noticed his old comrade sniffing the air. "I was told there was a bounty on my head. Just because nobody in here can beat me there is no reason not to be cautious." "Ahhh you are still the cool headed fighter I knew when we were the most feared of demons." Grinning at Santhos Daaku sat down at the table and poured himself a drink. "So you think that there is a bounty on your head hmm, well let me see." Santhos said as he pulled a big book with lots of dollar amounts and pictures. "Hmm how interesting." "What is it?" Daaku asked leaning over to see what his friend had discovered. "Well it seems that your bounty hunter got your name mixed up with this demon's right here." Looking at the picture and the name under it Daaku said, "Hmm her last name is almost the same as mine, but I don't look like her. How could he be so stupid?" "I'm starting to think that king Yamma sent him so that you would be interested. And he offered you a pardon of your crimes if you did." Taking a swig of his drink Daaku said "Hmm an interesting proposition I think I'll ask him myself." "What!! Are you crazy?" Laughing Daaku finished his drink and said "You've known me how long? And you still haven't figured out that I'm crazy?" Babbling Santhos said "well take this picture and list since she naturally wont escape now." "Once you've seen a face like that you wont forget it, not easily anyways." Daaku said as he walked out the room and out of the bar.
