Present day
Kazuki cradled his bleeding knee.
"Shit, that hurts…" He cursed.
"Language!" Chuckled Tsuki, leaning over him.
Kazuki looked at the bloody wooden stake swinging from an overhead branch by a rope. "Didn't expect that…" He mused.
Tsuki gently placed her hand on Kazuki's wound, making him wince. She told him not to be such a baby.
"Came out of nowhere," He said, gritting his teeth against the pain. "Surprisingly well hidden."
Tsuki removed her hand. The huge gash had disappeared.
"Thanks…" Mumbled Kazuki, embarrassed to have to be healed by Tsuki yet again.
"No problem!" She grinned. "So I guess they know we're following them now?"
Kazuki grunted, flexing his leg. "Maybe… we'll have to be extra careful from now on."
The male ninja disappeared. Something small and furry darted into the undergrowth in the direction of the men. Tsuki glanced at the slowly swinging trap which was dripping Kazuki's blood, before heading off as well.
