After getting really nice review in my inbox i decided to acclerate the production of this chapter. I was going to give it a week, but you know reviews just seem to give me kick up the ass and get me to write. Anyway here my latest chapter. constructive feedback is deseribale
The sunlight pierced through the windows off the office and shone on Kasumi's eyes, slowly awakening her from her slumber. She had slept a lot deeper than originally intended. However for Kasumi this was a good thing. As she was so used to sleeping lightly, a deep sleep really helped her regain her energy. This was apparent when Kasumi leapt out of her futon when it occurred to her that she had a deep sleep. She was scared that people might be watching her. She fanned all of the windows, scanning each view presented by the windows like a hawk, making sure there was nothing that posed a threat. Once she had quelled the fear inside of her she resumed her standard activities, the first of which was making the futon. After that she began to set a ramen to cook on the camping stove and went into the only working toilets to get a shower. This was Japan and even warehouse had one working shower in case of emergency. Kasumi was grateful for the shower at this place. The last two places she had hidden in didn't even have a working toilet let alone a shower.
After she had showered herself and gotten dressed properly she took the ramen and slowly began to eat it while staring out of one of the office windows. She was primarily looking at the exit alleyway, making sure it was clear from any prying eyes that might want to keep tabs on her. She did spot a prying eye. It was a Mugen Tenshin ninja scanning the roof of the warehouse from the roof of the nearby building. Kasumi could tell by the shoulder plate that he was a student ninja. Guessing by the lack of marks on his pad this was his first full deployment.
The Mugen Tenshin had a habit of sending students to chase after her most of the time. That is why the elite squad that chased her yesterday caught her off guard. It was clear that the student had not yet spotted her. Which was to her advantage. She grumbled as she put down the ramen and strapped her tools to her clothes. She the left the office and dropped off the second story catwalk and onto the ground floor. She then went towards the exit that was as far away as the student as possible. For the current moment in time she wanted to put distance between them, this would allow her to get behind him so she could quietly strike at him. She made her away down the street until she saw the alleyway leading to the opposite wall of the building the student was on. She surveyed the wall and tried to look for anything that could make her climb easier. She had noticed that the divider between floors had slightly protruding brickwork and so did the next layer of bricks around windows. This mean she had an easy climb ahead of her. She jumped up and grabbed onto the first set of brickwork above one of the first story windows, using this a springboard she threw herself up at the first to second story brickwork divider. She then used this same technique to climb all of the other floors with relative ease and with very little noise surprisingly. She always made sure to hold her breath in before a jump, so she wouldn't make an exhale noise when she grabbed onto something. Once she had scaled the building and got onto the rooftop she had noticed that the student was still standing there looking at the warehouse. All she had to do was finish this. She pulled out a very small pellet. It was the same size as the average piece of bubble gum. However in this very small package was a lot of gas. The gas knocked the person out for at least 4 hours and also very cleverly made, the person forget the past couple of hours before they were knocked out. These pellets were her most valuable possession. This was how she dealt with most of her fellow Mugen Tenshin ninjas. She always tried not to hurt them if possible. Before the student had any time to gather that Kasumi had appeared behind him, Kasumi threw the pellet with speed and skill and the students feet. Within less than a second a cloud of white smoke surrounded the now confused student. After a few seconds of struggling he was now lying down unconscious. Someone like Ayane would take advantage of this and would tie up or even kill her victim, however this was no where near like how Kasumi operated.
Its not that she didn't have those urges. There were times she would wake up ad really want to smash a persons skull through a wall. However unlike Ayane Kasumi had learnt to suppress those urges. She walked over to the student and scooped him up into her arms and began bolting along the rooftops. Making sure that the student was held tightly in her arms as she jumped from roof to roof. After a couple of minutes of jumping she had arrived at one of Tokyo's many parks. She leapt into the tree line and then down onto the ground. She made sure she had picked a rather quiet and secluded area of the park and then set the student down on one of the benches.
She was quite pleased at how well she had reacted to the scenario. It could have been a lot worse. The student could of seen her and the whole situation would of become a lot more complicated. She bent down to the students level and began stripping him of all of his weapons. There was two main reasons she did this. The first reason is because she needed to refill her weapons every now and again. And the second reason was to make sure that the student no longer posed a threat to her. Without his weapons he would be forced to go back home. Kasumi knew they would rearm him and then send him back out, but for now it was an effective method of dislodging people from this fight.
With the student now dealt with Kasumi decided to go back to her hideout and wait the rest of the day out. Whenever she had been spotted or the Mugen Tenshin got close she kept a low profile at her hideout rather than going out and gathering reconnaissance and the other things that Kasumi did when she was not hiding. She stood up next to where the student was and leapt into the tree line and dashed out of the park and back onto the rooftops above the city. The rooftops had become her new mode of transport. It was now quite rare that Kasumi ever used pavements to walk anywhere. Now she used the rooftops as her method of getting from A to B. While the rooftops was indeed quicker it was a lot more dangerous. The rooftops were a lot more open and it mend hiding from other people on the rooftops was near an impossibility. Kasumi carried on sprinting over the rooftops with a very fast and consistent pace. The rule of not being able to hide was about to play to her advantage as she noticed several figures standing on a roof at least 7 buildings away. Kasumi then worked out in her head that the warehouse was roughly 7 buildings away as well. "Could it be? No. t can't" Thoughts raced through Kasumi's mind rapidly. Before she could lose control of herself she reigned her thoughts back in. She now had a very good chance to run. If she hadn't of moved the student away she would have been possibly caught in that trap.
Kasumi now had no choice. It was not worth risking going anywhere near the building. She now had to run again and once more lose all of the equipment she had salvaged over her very small amount of time there. However she did have her rather large amount of yen with her. She always kept it in her clothes at all times, just in case and event like this did happen. Kasumi still felt sad about having to leave that place. It was one of the safest places she had found in a very long time. It was also one of the very few that actually had a proper roof over her head so she didn't have to worry about getting cold or wet at night.
Kasumi turned on her heels and ran back towards the park. She had decided to go to the southern part of Tokyo. That was one of the few areas she had not yet hidden in at all. She was going to go find a place there and hopefully, find something similar to the deserted warehouse that she just evacuated from. Kasumi jumped from the rooftops and landed back in the park and ran across the tree line to the other side of the park and then used her legs to vault her back onto the rooftops again and towards the south of Tokyo. There had to be a safe place for Kasumi. Somewhere.
