YAY, quick update, I'm on a role (: hope you like!
Chapter 14: "The Plan"
'I swear, if this brat grips onto my shoulder any tighter I'm going to do away with my plan and kill him right here and now'
"Is everything alright?" the boy gripped tighter onto the shoulder he was supporting and slowed his pace.
"Oh yes, why do you ask?" Sunnora could barely hold back the scowl that was threatening to show itself when she felt the boy hold her more firmly.
Shikamaru looked into her eyes and hesitated before speaking, "well your expression, thought you were in pain, you were frowning for the last couple of minutes".
'Of course I'm frowning idiot…but I won't be for long when I see your head feet away from your body'
Just the thought of the boy dead made her grin from ear to ear.
"Well your smile is kind of creepy but it works", Shikamaru turned his head to look ahead and quickened his pace.
"So where exactly does your uncle live?"
Sunnora got that nervous feeling again and pointed out randomly. "Its north from here, we're not far if that's what you're concerned about", Sunnora scoffed but tried to hide it with a cough.
Shikamaru chuckled quietly which only fueled Sunnora's chagrin.
Sunnora really didn't have much time to lose and knew she had to act quickly, those dogs were still on her track and time was ticking.
"Your timing is incredible young man, I just got back from my brother's a couple of minutes ago, I'll be going to sleep soon so you are lucky as well, we only have two rooms available tonight"
"Yeah yeah, I don't care about your personal shit old man, just give me my key"
"Sure thing young man, will it be for one?" the old man said, trying to ignore the rude remarks coming from the silver haired male as he dug around a cup trying to find the small bronze key.
"Isn't that obvious old geezer? Do you see anyone else here?" Hidan yanked the small key from the older man's hand and started heading upstairs.
The hotel owner rushed from behind his desk and caught up to the silver haired male, "w-wait young man, you haven't paid".
The old man gripped onto the end of Hidan's robe and a second later he was being dangled a foot above the floor by his neck.
"I don't think you understand old man, my payment is allowing you to live your pathetic life just one more day, I already know who I plan to sacrifice to Jashin-sama, and your old man blood isn't even good enough for that".
The owner chocked and tried to claw on Hidan's tight grip, which he reluctantly let go.
The silver haired male walked past the struggling man on the floor and walked upstairs to his room.
Opening the old wooden door he took off his robe and rushed to the bed landing on the bed with a thud, he looked at the ceiling, ignoring the dust on the bed as it carried his weight.
Bringing his arms up he looked at his skin and noted the injury free state he was in, he recalled on the girl that saved him and regretted leaving her alone to die just a little, 'I didn't even know her name, she really was clueless'.
The thought brought a smile to his face just before he fell asleep.
"So tell me about yourself", they had been walking for more than an hour now and it was now completely dark, the only light was the occasional peek of moonlight between the canopies of trees.
Sunnora cursed in her mind at how chatty this brat was; he had been prying into her life for the last hour.
"Well, there's not much to tell, I live alone, I like being alone, it's comforting, and I like my privacy as well, I don't like people that meddle into my business", Sunnora hoped that hint was obvious enough for the boy to shut up.
It obviously wasn't enough for the boy continued to ask questions, "So do you visit your uncle often?"
"Not as often as I'd like, I often get caught up with other things that I rarely have the time, so were you heading in this direction as well? I didn't want to become a burden".
"Yes, I was heading in this direction, I was going to meet with a couple of friends but I'm sure they won't mind when I tell them what happened".
'Oh you won't get the chance you brat, you'll be dead in a few minutes'
"Thank you Shikamaru-san, I really appreciate it, you don't know how much of a help you really are".
"Ow!" Sunnora rubbed her head as something hit her, she looked to the ground and noted something round.
Shikamaru released the grip he had on her and bent down grabbing the object, "we must be under an apple tree".
Sunnora looked up and clearly made out the traces of red.
Shikamaru stood back up with a concerned look on his face, "are you okay? Does it hurt?" Sunnora internally rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Yes, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore, thank you though".
Shikamaru nodded and eyed the fruit in his hand, "you must be hungry, how about you sit down and I go collect a few apples, they're ripe enough to eat, here" he tossed her the apple which she caught in one hand, "I'll be right back".
'You're right, I am hungry, but not for food' the demon in her was getting impatient and she knew it, her red eyes were welcoming the bloodshed and she really couldn't wait any longer.
Getting up from the grass she picked up a rock and yanked some bark off a tree with ease, making sure the point was sharp enough she snuck around the tree and saw the boy on a nearby limb reaching for some apples, 'stupid brat, you're about to die yet you're too preoccupied trying to feed your killer'.
"How close are we?" the silver haired shinobi dashed upfront from limb to limb as the rest of his team trailed behind him.
"Not too far maybe a couple more minutes and we'll reach her, I'm still confused as to how she was able to move away so fast, one minute it was like she was standing right next to us, I could smell her that close, yet seconds later her scent was barely traceable, like she had teleported". Pakkun was leading the group of Kakashi and Gai as they tried to follow the scent of the black blood.
'So she was among us at one point, I knew I felt something odd earlier' Kakashi clenched his fist as he recalled the unworldly presence.
"Not to worry any of you but I sense another scent next to the black blooded girl, they're close, I'm not sure if it's her accomplice or another victim but it smells familiar, can't really recall who it is though".
"Well whatever the case we need to hurry, come on everyone", Kakashi led the group behind Pakkun.
Sunnora grabbed onto the side of the tree and with ease she climbed foot by foot upwards towards the boy who was still clueless onto what was about to occur, putting the weapon between her teeth she started climbing, the boy was only a few feet away, she was already picturing how this was all going to occur, she was going to pounce on the limb and just as he turned to look what it was that was behind him she would slash his throat, killing him instantly, as much as she hated the idea of a quick death, she didn't have the time to play games, she needed to kill him and get his blood on her, that way hiding her scent from the tracking dogs and going on her way to find a way back home.
'Oh and I can't forget, I need to kill those humans that made me go to all this trouble in the first place, after I get my katana back that is, a goddess shouldn't have to use something as barbaric as a piece of sharpened wood, but whatever gets the job done'
She looked up at the boy as she reached the bottom of the limb he was perching on and noted he was too preoccupied with grabbing apples that he had no idea what was about to happen.
Sunnora grinned as she leaped forward onto the tree limb and took out the weapon from between her teeth, she laughed as the boy shook slightly from the wobble of the added weight and turned around with surprise in his eyes, she gave him no time to speak as her arm came forward with such speed and agility that even the most trained of humans could never block it. The anticipation was killing her but she squirmed with delight as she felt the edge come in contact with the skin on his neck.
