11 Chapter 11 (2/2)

Hayabusa stared at her in disbelief. ”Why did they let you read such indecent books when you're supposed to read scriptures that are way more important than that.”

”No one knows that I read love stories, well, except the person whom I secretly buy those ones. And excuse me, Mr. Perfectionist, I do my part as the daughter of the Scarlet sect but I also have my leisure time. I ain't a dweeb like you who spends hours and days reading boring scriptures.”

Hayabusa knew that their argument would only lead to nothing but stupidity so he stopped talking back. He just waited for her to finish her lunch.

”But honestly, what will happen to you and Kagura?” Hanabi finally asked.

”None of your business,” Hayabusa tries to shut her down. ”Stop prying on our business.”

Hanabi hits the small table with her chopsticks and shot it right towards him. Hayabusa, though, was fast enough to catch the chopsticks in between his fingers.

”Can't you see I am trying to help you? I am also involved for we are being forced to get married, you stupid jerk. If you keep being narrow-minded, the two of you will surely separate and maybe I'd be laughing my ass off if you didn't listen to me,” Hanabi said as she catches back the chopsticks.

While in the Shadow sect village is still in peace, Hanzo is travelling to look for the Kira organization. He wanted to lend them a hand on their missions to feed the Ame no Habakiri with blood.

On his way, Hanekage showed himself by taking the form of a crow.

”If you want more power, we should also finish the Shadow sect village. The blood of your father and Hayabusa would quench the Ame no Habakiri's thirst for blood,” it said.

”We'll come to that sooner or later. Be more patient, demon. I want to enjoy slaughtering before doing that. The joy of killing would end if we kill them. Save the best for the last to make things more exciting and interesting,” Hanzo replied.

”Stop wasting time, Hanzo. They will surely be prepared if you keep on dilly dallying,” the demon insisted but Hanzo just ignored him.

In his mind, he could not forget Hanabi's reaction upon seeing her mother's death. He somehow feel the same as her for he had also witnessed his mother's last moments before passing away.

”Why did you not kill the dark-haired woman who has the Higanbana? Her blood would have been the best if you cut her with Ame no habakiri,” the demon pried.

”Like what I have said before, we'll come to that soon. Don't be in a rash for the best is to come for those who wait,” Hanzo replied.

Just then, he saw a nearby village. It is peaceful and it seems that it is a trade center for lots of merchants are going around the streets advertising their products.

But Hanzo could feel something different. He could feel dark auras lurking around.

”Assassins,” Hanekage hissed which confirmed Hanzo's hypothesis. This village is not only a trading center for ordinary goods but it is also a black market for dark organizations.

”We're on the right place, we've got to only find the Kira's headquarters,” Hanzo said as he choked the crow which turned into dark smoke.
