Hana

I returned to the party shortly after boss Renji left. He was much better in the sack than I imagined. I could tell that the man had a lot of experience and that showed in his performance. He had made me cum 4 times. My kekkei genkai helped greatly in that regard, but I couldn’t deny the skills of that silver fox. I only had light duties assigned to me after I had gotten back. Boss Renji had left me a tip that was more than what I’d make in 3 nights combined. I managed to find a few moments to talk to Mina and Nezu during the party as well. We didn’t chat for long as they were both very busy. There was no way we could’ve handled all the traffic by ourselves. But, there were a lot of new faces here. And by what Old lady Matsumoto said, Boss Renji intended to help us in a big way to expand our business and clientele. The recent turn of events meant that Renji’s men would have a lot of money to spend.

I’d never really thought that things would work out so well. There was no trace of what had happened to Kuro leading back to me, except for the chakra seal that I’d left with Renji. That was just a precaution in case I needed to call on boss Renji’s generosity in the future. I was pretty sure that he wasn’t going to share that with the authorities, and even if he did it’d be impossible for them to locate me with that.

Kuro had almost managed to throw a wrench into the life that I was trying to build for myself, but with some course correction, I was back on track. I was feeling pretty good about my life when I made my way into my bedroom. It turned out that I was feeling a bit too relaxed. It was only after I closed my door that I noticed a movement near my bed. I whirled around and grabbed a kunai strapped under the table in a single motion before crouching low.

I saw a sudden movement as something small jumped onto my bed. I did a double take as I beheld a mongoose standing up on my bed on its hind legs. Not only that, this particular mongoose looked familiar.

“Hi there, remember me? You saved my life a couple of weeks ago. Sorry I took off without saying anything. Anyway, hi”

‘What the hell? Am I trapped in a genjutsu?’ was my first thought.

(Genjutsu- A Ninja art that affects the mind of the victim) .

I must be, the only other explanation was that I was losing my mind. There was no way that there was a talking mongoose on my bed. I bit down hard on my lips till it started bleeding. It was a technique to try and snap myself out of any genjutsu that I got caught in.

“Why are you biting your lips? Is that a human greeting thing that you people do? It looks really inconvenient” It said while regarding me with a cocked head. Either the genjutsu was really strong or I really was hallucinating.

“Um… you’re talking” I said.

“You’re noticing that now. Wow, you’re really slow for a human ninja” It said.

“Mongooses are not supposed to be able to talk” I said, trying to reason with my hallucination.

“Normal mongooses don’t. But I’m special, as you can probably tell. The name’s Moisk. Nice to meetcha” It/he said.

“Hello Moisk, what do you want?” I asked.

“To thank you of course. I might have been a goner if it wasn’t for you helping me out” He said as he extended his hand towards me.

I stood there staring like an idiot before I realised that the mongoose Moisk wanted to shake hands with me. Well, if he could talk, it was hardly surprising that he wanted to shake hands. I stepped forward and extended my hand to him.

“I’m Hana by the way. Nice to meet you, Moisk".

“Thank you Hana, I owe you my life and I intend to repay my debt” He said before swiping his claws on my hand and drawing blood.

I yelped and jumped back. “What was that for?” I asked, outraged.

“To pay you back of course. They need your blood to perform the reverse summoning jutsu” He said as if it should have been obvious.

“They? Who’s they? Reverse summoning? What the hell are you talking about?” I asked. He ignored my question as he looked around.

“Ah, they’re calling us back now?” He said.

“Calling us back where? What the hell…” I never got to finish my sentence as I felt a sudden pull on every part of my body before darkness engulfed me.

When I opened my eyes, we were no longer in my bedroom. I was on the floor looking up at a tunnel that was at least a hundred foot tall. There were two mongooses standing guard on either side of the tunnel. Unlike Moisk, these guys were 50 foot tall monsters.

“Welcome to the eternal burrow. I’m pretty sure you’re the first human to come here in a hundred years. Congrats” said Moisk.

“I feel so honoured” I said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. I still hadn’t ruled out the genjutsu or hallucination theory ,but they seemed more and more unlikely as time progressed. At this point I would have gladly taken genjutsu over what actually seemed to be happening. It seemed that a mongoose had actually dragged me over to god knows where infront of a hole that seemed to contain monsters that could stomp me into paste without even noticing.

“Come on”, he said as he moved in front of me to lead me into the tunnel.

Needless to say, I wasn't particularly interested in going down the tunnel.

"How do I get back?" I asked.

"They'll send you back after they meet you"

"And yet again, I ask. Who's they?". I was starting to lose my temper.

"My father and the great elder sage".

"Tell them I accepted your thanks. Can I go now?" I asked.

"Aw. Don't be like that. It'd be kinda rude to leave without meeting them", said the guy who dragged me here without my permission.

I really wanted to tell him to go stuff it, but the fact was that I had no idea where I was and I needed the help of these people to get back. Aggravating them would definitely be a bad idea.

I decided to follow my little guide as he led me deeper and deeper into the so-called 'eternal burrow'. The tunnel was rather more well lit than I thought. I could see many regular sized burrows branching off from the main tunnel. As we went deeper, the tunnels branching off got bigger and bigger.

"So, how'd you find me?", I asked as my mental faculties were slowly returning to me. This was a rather important question I'd forgotten to ask in the sheer surprise of meeting Moisk.

"Ah, when you were using your chakra to treat me, I wasn't sure whether you were trying to save me or harm me ya know. I was pretty out of it at the time. So I placed a small seal inside your chakra network that enabled me to track you. Sealing techniques are one of our specialists" he said proudly.

"And what would have happened to me if you had died?" I asked.

I saw Moisk fidget slightly before answering "In that case, my dad may or may not have come calling".

I stared at him incredulously. If this little fucker had died, I might have been squished flat by one of those giant mongooses outside.

"Why didn't you release the seal once you got back alright?"

“Then I wouldn't get to express my gratitude and give you a reward for saving my life," he said.

He and I apparently had very different ideas on what a reward entailed. Given the choice, I was going to ask him to never bother me again. That would indeed be a great reward.
