Mr. Ishida and Keizo were two faces that I did NOT want to see ever again, and yet, here they are! I gave them a glare and muttered, "What the hell do you two want?" Keizo cocked an eyebrow, "Why to see you pet, it's been far too long. By the way, you look so much better now than you did before. I can't wait to get my vengeance on you."

He tried to get close enough to touch my face but I slapped his hand away and snapped, "Go to hell!"

I also took a step back to be on the safe side. Mr. Ishida glowered at me, "Still the stubborn wench I see, but let's get to more important matters. We're here because of this."

He whipped out a piece of paper and showed it to me. It was that damn wanted poster. "Mr. Yutaka had been searching for you and I want this reward." He emphasized the word want. Unexpectedly, Keizo quickly jerked me toward him in a tight hold, making me drop my bag of stuff, and covered my mouth; inconspicuous to anyone.

"We won't turn you in until I fuck you senseless first, right Ishida?" Mr. Ishida looked indifferent on the matter, "Do whatever you want, it's of no concern to me." I tried so hard to get away from that strong grip but to no avail.

"How cute, you're acting awful brave for a woman who's all….alone." He made me shudder as he licked the side of my face and mocked, "So tasty and already shuddering from excitement. I'll have you begging me for more fucking by the time I'm through with you."

"Keizo!" Ishida was too late to warn him before Kakuzu had a kunai pressed against his throat along with a quick demand, "Release her." Keizo reluctantly let me go and I darted behind Kakuzu when he did; safest place for me to be. He growled menacingly, "What the hell were you two trying to pull?"

Mr. Ishida had a slight concerned expression and just held up the flyer, "This is why we're here." Kakuzu didn't say anything except glare at that wanted poster concerning me. Keizo rubbed his partly scratched neck grumbling, "I had no idea you still kept her Kakuzu, that's so surprising on your part."

"Why's that?" He scoffed, "By now, you think you would've gotten another one to fulfill your lust. I know she's given you trouble trying to get her to bed I'm sure." "That's none of your concern." Keizo shrugged, "Maybe, but I bet you can't make her scream like I can." That flashback made me grimace and wince highly.

"Big talk, coming from the man who almost had his own cock bitten off by her." That remark set him off and he was about to throw a punch when Mr. Ishida stopped him, "Stop Keizo! We don't need to make any more of a scene than we already are."

Sure enough, he was right, a lot of people had stopped to observe the quarrel. Mr. Ishida put the paper away, "Come Keizo, we'll collect her some other time." Keizo actually followed him off with the exception of turning his head back, "It'll be sooner than you think girl."

I flinched by those words and didn't like the sound of it; I bent over and picked up my bag before following Kakuzu back to the inn. He didn't say a word but I knew he was pissed off.

When we got there, he took my bag to toss it to the side with his before asking me, "Are you alright." "Yeah." "Did they hurt you at all?" "No I'm fine, just a little scared."

I sat down at the table and tried to change the gloomy subject with a smirk, "That was a nice comeback you did back there." He chuckled and starting gathering out things together, "What are you doing?"

"We need to leave before they figure out our location. They might already know." "Oh, ok." He had a point; they might come back with reinforcements and outnumber us.

Once we left and were traveling again, within so many minutes, I had to ask him, "How come you didn't kill them?" He glanced at me before muttering, "I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself. I do have a bounty on my head too you know." "Really? I didn't know that." He chuckled, "It's not that hard to believe, I'm an S-rank criminal after all." I grinned to myself since I forgot about that little detail.

*We traveled all day just to get to another town but didn't stay at an inn this time. We camped out in the woods for a better hideout. As we sat next to the fire I couldn't help but think about what happened last time. The thought of it made me blush immensely. "Are you blushing over there?" "NO! The heat from the fire is making my cheeks get hot."

He chuckled softly, "I take it you're remembering what happened last time we camped out correct?" How does he do that? "Yeah, but are you sure you're not a mind reader?" He raised his eyebrows, "I'm not, your facial expressions make it too easy for me to interpret."

"..." He suddenly had a mischievous grin, "Do you want to do it again?" My face turned an even brighter shade and just rolled over on my side without a word. "So that's how it is."

He came over and spread his blanket out next to me again. My heart started to race from the action and even more so when he pulled me closer to him and purred in my ear, "It's going to be cold again tonight. Is it alright I sleep this close?"

I glanced at him and nodded. "What's with the silent treatment?" I turned over to face him and snuggled up against him, "Just embarrassment."

"Is that so?" "Go to sleep." "Tch, now who's being bossy?" I scowled at him for a second but buried my face back against his chest again. He soon drifted off to sleep and I thought about one more thing before I did.

I was indeed embarrassed from last time, but it was just because I never even considered that having sex would feel good due to my time at that hell hole.

With him, it was very nice, comforting, and wouldn't mind doing it again, but only with him and no one else. I want to keep staying with him since he makes me so happy but…..a disturbing word keeps lingering in my mind that I pray isn't true…..Deception.

This chapter may be a little short but that just means more chapters to look forward to ^-^
