I carried the Kunoichi to the nearest town that WAS NOT in Fire Country. I may be immortal but I don't want to prove that point thank you very fucking much. I put her down near a stream so that she could wash the blood out of her hair. She did and I smirked as I saw her clean for the first time. She looked ~And I bet that if I could I would have blushed for thinking this~ hot. I picked her up again and ran for the town. I put her down by the gate and wrapped one hand around her waist.

"Just so you don't get any idea's Hellfire. I ain't gonna let you get away." Or fall over. I added silently. I steered her to a diner that sold Tempura. She ordered the biggest thing on the menu and several of the smaller things as well.

"You know I don't eat right Hellfire?" I said, my hand was now resting on her thigh, one move and I could break her leg. She nodded before diving into one of the smaller dishes. Jeez this girl could fucking eat. It took her about half an hour to eat everything she ordered. The entire time I watched her, while glancing round at everyone else to make sure that no-one could be of any threat to me. She burped causing me to look back at her.

"You finished?" I asked her. She nodded and I paid before steering her out of the restaurant by her waist. I took her outside the town before picking her up again and running back to the cave. She was silent the entire time. I wondered what she was thinking but I didn't ask. I didn't really care. I was just waiting for her to be back at full strength so that I can kill her and eat her. I sat her back in the cave and she didn't say anything for a looong fucking time. Jeez and I thought I wasn't a fucking people person. She looked up at me and suddenly asked,

"Why?" I looked at her

"Why what Hellfire?" I asked. Smirking.

"Why did you rescue me?" She asked. I knew what she had meant the first time but I had decided to humour her.

"You smelt tasty." I said with a shrug. She hid her fear well but little shifts she made were giving her away. Almost unnoticable to humans but it was basically screaming at me.

"I wanna fight you at full strength. It'll be fun. You'll loose but still..." I trailed off with a smirk. She gulped and my smirk grew wider.

"You'll be safe for a few days Hellfire. I promise." I said, bending down next to her and poking her in the arm.

"My name is Fucking Tayuya." She hissed at me. I smirked again.

"Why Hello Fucking Tayuya. My name is Bella." I said in a polite tone. My mum had taught me manners before I had eaten her. Tayuya glared at me and I actually smiled. It was a little one but it was an actual smile.

"Sleep time for the human." I said, pushing her down so that she was lying. She glared at me.

"What? You need to sleep if your gonna recover." I said with a shrug. She glared at me one last time before closing her eyes. I sat nearby, fiddling around with her flute, trying to play it. I used to be really good but decades out of practice had made me very rusty. I blew a few notes experimentally before launching into a beautiful melody that I was just making up from scratch on the spot. I heard a rustle and looked over to Tayuya without stopping playing. She had rolled over to face me, her eye's open but sleepy. I changed the melody a bit to be a bit more of a lullaby and she drifted off. I stopped playing and smirked down at her sleeping figure. When was the last time I had made someone that happy? A long long time ago. I hate to admit ~As in really really really really hated to admit this~ but it felt... good. I settled myself comfortably on the rock and resigned myself to watching her sleep.
