Revenge?

"..Why revenge?" I asked.

I looked at Tommy, then at the other three.

"Well you see.." she said.

"We are all slaves that have escaped from his country" she said.

Slaves?

I looked towards Tommy again.

"Except for me-nyan!" he said.

"Then, why do you want to take revenge?" I asked.

He changed expressions again.

"Because.. Deep down.." he said with a darker voice.

"Deep down, I want to kill that man!" he said.

I started to get worried, for some reason.

What have I gotten myself into?!

"Don't be worried man! They trust you, trust them back and do what they say!" Fushima said.

I didn't reply.

The woman started to walk away.

"I'll tell ya, we're planning on attacking Clout soon, check this poster out" she said and walked towards the hallway.

She took a poster and gave it to me.

"Didn't you say you wanted to save someone-nyan?" Tommy asked.

I didn't answer.

I kept looking at the poster.

...

"Hey, you're there-nyan?" Tommy asked.

I looked towards him.

I pointed at the face of the poster and showed it to Tommy.

"Him.. I want to save him.." I said.

On the poster was..

..The Ninja's face.

I looked at Tommy, he looked, weird.

I looked over at the woman, she looked frightened.

"Oh my.." she said.

Tommy put down the cat, it walked away.

"Don't worry, we'll do this as quickly as possible then-nyan" he said.

The atmosphere changed, it was a weird feeling.

I looked over at the woman again.

"This only happens once he catches an escaped slave.." she said.

Escaped.. ?

Now that she mentions it, he wanted me to kill a guy who wanted him back somewhere.

When I followed him to the slumarea, he was called a slave too.

He..

..He was on the run all this time..

***

I kept jumping behind boss.

I was getting kind of tired, even though it hadn't been five minutes since I drank water.

After jumping a bit more through the forest, we made our way to a small village.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

I was just about to jump again when suddenly he told me to stop.

I quickly stopped, it felt kind of urgent.

Boss took small steps around the village, though he didn't pull out any weapons.

Then he started to laugh.

"Be careful, I smell fresh blood, Hyehe!" he said and laughed.

Fresh blood?

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone.

We kept looking around, with no luck in finding someone.

I stayed in the small village and looked around in the houses while Akira checked outside.

"QUICKLY! HIROTO'S HERE!" he shouted.

Hi-Hiroto?!

I quickly ran to Akira, in front of him was Hiroto, on the ground.

All around him was blood, poor thing..

"Quickly, carry him over to one of the houses" Akira said.

I started to carry him and rushed over to one of the houses.

He was quite far from the village, and he was pretty heavy too.

I could hear something, but I didn't pay close attention to it.

I kept running, when suddenly Hiroto fell down in front of me.

Huh?!

I made sure not to lose control, I didn't even feel anything either.

How did he fall down?

I looked back, Akira was looking at me.

"Heh, sorry sorry Boss!" I said.

He looked disappointed in me.

I picked up Hiroto again and started my move towards the house.

There wasn't much left, only about 20 meters left.

This time, every step felt slower, and heavier.

Then, Hiroto fell again.

This time a hard thud could be heard.

"KEEP YOUR SHIT TOGETHER ASSHOLE!" Akira screamed.

I sighed.

What is happening.. ?

When bent down to pick him up, I felt it.

It didn't hurt, but It wasn't unnoticeable either.

Again, on my neck.

This time, I felt everything, and lost consciousness.

...

***

"Yo Akira" I said.

I looked towards the ugly man.

I pointed my sword towards him.

"Mind telling me why the hell you're here?!" I said.

He kept smiling.

He disappeared.

Suddenly, he was behind me.

"It has nothing to do with your shit!" he said.
