TheDarkestShinobi: Contest is 9 to 7, in my sister's favor, but that's my fault for not updating lol.

So the long overdue chapter four.

Chapter Start

Jann could not sleep, every time he closed his eyes he had seen the dead ninja. He seen the blood and heard the small cries they let out. He had heard the ninja in his head saying 'help me' and 'why didn't you help me.' As if Jann was a monster as well because he hadn't been able to stop them. But he couldn't help but wonder; if he had tried to stop them would they have killed him as well?

He closed his eyes again.

'help me'

Thuds, grunts, blows.

'why didn't you help me.'

"I guess I've overstayed my welcome"

Throwing his blanket off in frustration he got up and looked in the other rooms to check on everyone one else, who was still nice and peacefully resting in the sleep that eluded him. He walked outside and blinked in shock, the body was not there, but he knew that it wouldn't be, they must've cleaned it up; he did notice that the dirt by the old bloodstains was fresh. He looked away and sat down resting his head on his hands.

How did his life change so much, but at the same time stay exactly the same? He shook his head and looked up into blood red eyes.

He jumped up and into a stance as she spun away and lifted her own arms into a stance of her own. He recognized her from that ridiculously colored hair, purple, out of all colors. He watched her smirk. She was another ninja from that damned tournament, why were they all following him? Was it that new cologne? No time to be funny Jann, he scolded himself, there's just another killer in your mists.

"Tell me where she is, and you might live."

Again, the casual references to death.

He tried to open his mouth, but he just couldn't betray Kasumi like that. Despite the fact that she was a killer, she had saved him from another one, which is what he guessed he was doing now, this was another killer, and she seemed colder than Kasumi had ever been, but not nearly as frightening as Ryu.

Jann had viewed Ryu as an equal; he didn't realize Ryu was going easy on him so that he would not kill him. He clenched his fist feeling weak next to these 'killers.'

"They left."

Ayane, he thought her name was Ayane, looked up and Jann felt someone appear. He moved to the side and seen Kasumi land next to him. She didn't even look at him, he was so beneath her. Did she just come from disposing the body

"Leave him, sister."

They started to fight and Jann stepped back into something really hard that was not there before, excuse me, someone.

"Jann."

"Ry-Ryu."

"Kasumi is mine."

Jann felt the blade against his neck in that second and his eyes opened wide in shock. He had already prepared to die once today, he wouldn't do it again. He watched as the girls continued to fight.

"I didn't do anything!!! You would kill me for nothing!"

"I've killed for nothing before."

Jann felt the blade get closer than what should've been physically possible and he couldn't breathe anymore. He heard a loud thud and felt his head move to look at it. It was his body, it was missing a head. Then Ryu threw his head into the road. Kasumi and Ayane spared it a glance, but only a glance before they continued to fight, tanto and dual blade drawn.

Jann couldn't breathe or think, he just saw flying colors as he flew, and then the world stopped, before he even landed.

Kasumi ducked and turned to Ryu. They both stopped moving and Kasumi looked over her shoulders,

"Jann."

"What about him?"

She didn't say anymore and she didn't need to, she just turned and sprinted, he remained by her side

"What the Fuck!" Jann shot up from his spot sitting on the porch. He reached for his neck to see it was still very much attached and that he was alive.

"Shit!"

He jumped up and down and shook his head. He panted and leaned against the house.

"What the Fuck!"

It wasn't real. It wasn't real. It wasn't real.

"Peek a boo."

"Ah!"

Jann jumped and looked to see a petite woman standing at 5'2" in front of him, with short purple hair and a dark purple ensemble. Her red eyes looked up at him as her hands settled on her hips with ease, as if he couldn't possibly be a threat to her.

"It's you! From my dream!" Jann shouted as he pointed to her. She sifted her weight to the right, the direction she would start to spin in if they fought.

"If I was in it, it was a nightmare."

She said it with a smirk on her face as if she was proud of the fact, and knowing her she probably was. She didn't look like it, but she was one who preyed on the weak and poisoned the strong, purple, like poison. Red eyes, as if she was death staring you in the face.

"So, you must know why I'm here."

For Kasumi, to kill her

"You sent them."

She laughed.

"If you found them then they are dead. They failed. I told him to let me do it. So, be a good boy and tell me where she went."

Jann bit his lip and she tilted her head as if she was talking to a baby.

"Or you'll die too."
