Chapter 9: "The Result"
"Oi Yasu what the hell are you doing here" the tall well built man covered in tan fabric asked the man that had just walked into the bar.
"Don't call me that Toshio, I-I'm incognito" responded Yasu with a hushed tone as he made his way to the bar taking the seat next to Toshio.
The man laughed and downed the rest of his beverage, "I don't know why you even try anymore, you know the rules here, you can only come into this place if you have taken a life".
"Well I'll get around to it Toshio, I just need time to find the right person, I haven't always been a criminal like you after all"
Toshio just looked bewildered at what the smaller man had said but chuckled when he saw the 'don't kill me look' on his face.
"Yeah well knowing you the 'right' person is probably someone that's already dying, and even then you probably wouldn't even go through with it, plus I would think you'd learn to stay out of here after what happened last time".
"Don't remind me" Yasu wined and held his back, "I can't even sleep half the time because that idiot Ryota broke my spine".
"So why did you come in here, you know, Ryota and his gang are here if he sees you again he'll definitely kill you, I won't rat you out though, just because I've always hated that guy but I won't help you either if he catches you".
"…wow you're such a good friend Toshio" Yasu said with sarcasm dripping from his words.
"I don't know why you insist on becoming a criminal anyway, you used to be such a good farmer, you can't even fight to save your life, and you definitely always back out at the last minute of any robbery so why put up the act?"
"You know what happened to my farm, it got burned by Ryota's gang because I couldn't come up with the money to pay him back, now nothing will grow, the soil is unusable and that was my only way of income, I need to feed my family Toshio, you know how rough it is nowadays and if I can make a name for myself then one of these gangs will ask me to join them and I'll be able to have money to spare, I don't have any other choice"
Toshio knew the situation with his once close friend, he knew the life of a criminal was tough; he had been one since he was a child but Yasu just wasn't the type to be caught up in all this, he didn't have it in him. He knew that he came here every day just so that the main gang leaders would know his face and maybe talk to him to let him join but it had been months now and nothing had happened.
Toshio was pulled out of his thoughts when the bright sun infiltrated the otherwise dark gloomy bar. Eyes narrowed trying to make out the two figures that had just walked in. One looked to be like a man in his early twenties, he had silver hair sticking out everywhere with a dark caked on mud on the ends and roots, he was wearing a black cloak but the glare from the sun was too much, he couldn't get that good of a glimpse. He definitely looked like he belonged here. The other one not so much, it looked to be a girl in her late teens, a little taller than most girls her age, wearing a black midriff top covering her arms all the way to her wrist and matching skirt with something shiny between the two pieces of clothing. She had dark straight hair and light clear blue eyes. The guy with the black cloak walked away from her, 'oh now she's in trouble' he thought to himself.
What caught him off guard was when she looked his way and smiled at him when she caught him staring at her. 'That was odd, no one smiles here, what the hell is that girl thinking coming in this bar?'
Some drunken guy next to him tapped him on the shoulder.
"Heeey… that g-girl is really cute hehehe" Toshio turned away when the man started chuckling; his alcohol breath was too much.
Yasu watched with his old friend next to him as Ryota of all people stood up and confronted the girl.
"This is not good Toshio, we need to do something, Ryota has killed girls like her before for just glancing his way, he will definitely kill her for coming in here", Toshio sighed at his idiotic good natured friend.
"We can't do anything, Ryota is untouchable to us, you know very well there are only a very limited number of individuals that can take Ryota on, the only ones that can beat him are the S rank and we are definitely not S ranked, plus you're incognito remember, he'll know it's you if you go over there, and anyways I wouldn't help her even if I could, it's her fault for coming in here, she deserves what she gets" Yasu frowned at the cold hearted guy sitting next to him.
'Of course everyone here would be cold hearted, look where you're at Yasu it's not strange for these guys to see someone getting killed in front of them, they're not going to risk their lives' to play the hero they're a bunch of criminals…wait I'm a criminal too now', Yasu slumped in his chair at the realization.
Suddenly some slimmer man half the size of Ryota came up next to him, he recognized the guy, it was Ryota's right hand man, he did most of the dirty work for the gang; and was also renowned to be a huge lady's man.
He heard the conversation clearly and everyone's eyes widened when they heard the girl's response to the question she had been asked. 'She's here to offer her services? But she doesn't seem like a-'
Many of the men around him stood from their seats and started walking towards the girl who was still smiling at them. Yasu stood up as well, he didn't want the girl to get hurt, he didn't know much about her or the situation but one thing had finally dawned on him, and that was that he wasn't a criminal.
He grabbed the knife hidden in his cloak and dashed toward the direction of the man that had just shaken her violently, he wasn't really taking in the situation but something told him he needed to protect this girl. A lot of the men that had headed in the direction of the girl were now returning to their seats, whoever this silver haired guy was didn't look all that intimidating, but then again, most of them never did. Plus he never really knew that much about whom most of these criminals were, he just knew the big gang heads.
Yasu lunged his knife in front of him when he saw the man in clear sight.
Yasu winced when he felt the knife go through skin and into the man.
Sunnora's eyes opened sharply when she felt the cold steel of the knife break through her skin. Hidan and many of the men in the bar stood there motionless.
Yasu opened his eyes ready to flee with the girl out of the bar into a safe place but what he saw wasn't what he was expecting to see.
'The girl…I stabbed the girl, but how! I was sure I had the man in target he had his face turned there's no way he could have done anything, he couldn't have moved….how did this happen! Unless she-"
Yasu fell to the floor in pure shock and he watched as the silver haired man pulled him up by the cloak and placed a broken glass bottle next to his neck.
"You stupid fuck, did you honestly think you could have killed me with that, I know you were trying to kill me but it looks like you stabbed the wrong person!" Hidan laughed maniacally.
Yasu never taking his eyes off the girl behind the crazy silver haired man, she had her head down, he could tell her breathing was labored. 'Why did it have to come to this, why did she protect him?'
Hidan was about to slit the guy's throat when he felt a warm hand on his wrist. He looked to the side and saw Sunnora's face; she wasn't smiling like usual which unnerved him greatly.
"Hidan-sama please let this man go"
"W-What!? He just stabbed you!" Hidan didn't move an inch at Sunnora's request; he just pushed the cold glass harder against the man's neck.
"I know but I can tell this man has a pure heart, please Hidan-sama let him go, I will be okay", he knew she would be fine, she may not be a full-fledged Jashinist like he initially thought but one thing they had in common was that they were both hard as hell to kill, he thought with a grin on his face.
Hidan looked into the girl's eyes, he could tell she was being sincere, and taking in one last look at the frightened man in his clutches he decided he didn't want to sacrifice such a sorry excuse of a man to his God anyways.
"Ugh-fine but you owe me"
Sunnora smiled up at him and saw the man in Hidan's clutch had already fainted from the situation in front of him.
Hidan and Sunnora watched some guy walk up to them and carry the fainted Yasu on his back.
"Hello I'm Toshio Yama, I will take care of him, I know where he lives"
Sunnora followed the man out of the bar with Hidan. "Please Toshio-san would you mind if I came along I just want to make sure he's okay"
Toshio looked down at the girl and nodded, 'she sure is a strange one'
"What about you girl? I saw you get stabbed, did it not hit your heart? I was pretty sure it did, well it looked that way from my angle" Toshio asked.
"Oh it did", Sunnora said with a smile, "but I'll be fine, don't worry about me, let's hurry and get this guy home"
Hidan furrowed his brow but an idea came to his head. "Dipshit, you can go ahead and go make sure that guy's okay, I'll stay here for a bit and catch up with you later"
Toshio gave Hidan directions to the farm and the three figures disappeared from sight.
Hidan smirked and walked back into the bar, 'what's one sacrifice gone when I can have 100 of them without that girl meddling' he said with a snicker as he took out the katana that he had taken from Sunnora's back when she wasn't paying attention.
"This will be fun".
Hidan walked back slowly to the farm Toshio had mentioned was Yasu's. The sun was about to set and it would be hard to find the farm with no light so he hurried.
Sunnora was waiting for him just outside the farm entrance.
"Oh! Hidan-sama I'm glad you're here, you just missed Toshio-san he had to leave but they were both very lovely people, Toshio-san and Yasu-san. Yasu-san said if you'd like we can stay the night with him and his family".
'Is that guy serious? I threatened to kill him and he still invites us to stay, people are so stupid' Hidan thought it over; well it would be convenient-
"I think it would be a good idea if we stay and help him with his farm work, I used my healing technique on his soil, did you know it also works on soil Hidan-sama, oh wait! You don't know about the soil-how silly of me to forget to tell you that, well you see, some hooligans had set Yasu-san's farm and crops on fire and they wouldn't produce anything anymore, so I had an idea to bring the soil back to life, and it worked! So his family and him are now planting a lot of new seeds! That poor guy almost fainted again after he woke up and saw I was still alive but after I explained my ability he praised me and told me all about his situation seeing as I can't remember a thing about myself!" Sunnora started giggling.
Hidan had stopped listening after the 'we stay and help' part, 'there's no way I'm going to stay here and do work'.
"Dipshit let's go I have a lot of questions to ask you"
Sunnora looked disappointed that she couldn't stay and help, but Yasu had insisted that she had already done enough for him and his family. Plus she couldn't go against Hidan-sama's orders; he had helped her after all. She smiled and waved goodbye at the happy family and walked off with Hidan.
The sun was setting and she wasn't feeling too well.
I'm pretty sure some of you know where this is headed xD anyways thanks again for reading guys, review please ^-^ chapter 10: "the mission" will be uploaded soon.
