”Who do you think is the akuma ninja?” Kagura asked.

”I don't know either,” Hayabusa replied.

The two of them finished dinner and are on their way back to where Hanabi was confined. They wanted more information from the girl in order to track down the shadow ninja who betrayed their clan.

”Don't you think we can access the chief's library to have some clue about the ninjutsu that the traitor used?” Kagura suggested. ”If we could access that library, I'm sure we will have a clue where to track down the traitor.”

”Your idea is great,” Hayabusa agreed. He held her hand and pulled her nearer. ”But only the chief could access the library. That library contains all the documents of the village so outsiders aren't allowed.”

”I see,” Kagura responded. She held hee chin, thinking of another way.

”Hayabusa,” Chief Haruno called out. Hayabusa immediately lets go of Kagura's hand.

”Yes, chief,” he responded.

”Your fiancee is injured and yet you don't make time to guard her? When did you become irresponsible?” Chief Haruno asked with his stern voice.

Kagura felt invisible. She felt a painful pang on her chest. Hearing that her lover is engaged with another woman makes her mad yet weak at the same time. She clenched her fist in frustration and pain.

”Kagura,” the chief said. ”You must be the one guiding Hayabusa especially when he is going the wrong way. You are the heir of well-known and most powerful Onmyouji of the village so you must know that.”

”I apologize for my shortcomings, chief,” Kagura said with her head low.

”Go to her quarters and be on guard,” the chief said. ”Kagura, go back home and have some rest.”

The chuef turned his back and went back on his office. When he was out of sight, Kagura embraced her lover tightly.

”Please, don't get married,” she said as her voice break. ”I can't bear to see you tie the knot with Hanabi.”

”Don't worry,” Hayabusa caressed her hair. ”I will do something about it. Hanabi is also against the marriage, she can be of help.”

Kagura lets him go and gave him a peck on the lips. She smiled at him.

”We'll get through this,” she said. ”Good night.”

Kagura waved goodbye and went on her way home. Hayabusa, who couldn't go with her, went to where Hanabi is. Upon arriving, he saw Hanabi writing something on paper that was tied on her kunai. Her bed was a mess and she didn't give it a notice. On the other hand, Hanzo is sound asleep on the couch. He is always the carefree type of person who doesn't give a care about the things happening around him.

”What are you doing instead of resting?” he asked.

Hanabi looked at his direction and rolled her eyes.

”Ain't it obvious?” she said sarcastically. ”I'm preparing my Soul Scroll ninjutsu.”

Hayabusa sat beside her and watch her do it. He stared at her serious face and wondered what could be running in her mind.

”What is it?” Hanabi asked after feeling uncomfortable of being stared at.

”What do you plan on doing about the marriage?” Hayabusa asked.

Hanabi stopped. She held her chin and acted like she was seriously thinking about it. She turns her head towards him and smiled.

”That depends on your behavior,” she replied slyly. Hayabusa's brows seem to meet at the middle of his forehead in confusion and annoyance.

”What do you mean by that?” Hayabusa asked.
