Shinobi From Hell

Unaware of what had happened behind their backs the couple had their sweet time under the breeze of the forest winds.

"Mhmm," Selena snuggled in his arms all the while mumbling every time their flesh rubbed at those indecent places.

There was only a piece of cloth covering them from the chilling breeze with nothing beneath. Their skin rubbed against each other bare as they basked in the afterglow of their love.

"Selena...," Klautz whispered.

"Yes?" she asked without bothering to open her eyes. As she snuggled her cheek against his chest she was cute enough to drive Klautz crazy.

*cough*

"Thanks," KLautz replied.

"No problem."

"Can you move now? We should go behind the others... they shouldn't have been gone that far."

Although Klautz said that he himself had no idea how much time had passed for this extracurricular activity. Even though he knew of the approximate area of where the Yukiho group was hunting but pinpointing them was difficult as they were constantly moving on their hunt for flesh and horns. But that didn't mean that finding a group as large as theirs was anything difficult, especially for Klautz.

'But I am worried about her.'

The presence of Dina itself was quite unusual. 

'She must be still there.'

If Klautz speculation was right then Dina was definitely going to do something at their camp. 

"tch, can't even kick her out. Need to keep a watch on her."

"...do it from a distance."

"??"

KLautz raised his brows as Selena whisper ringed in his ears.

"You recall what happened last time right? She is going to make you unable to think if you are too close to her."

"Ah... yes."

'Can't believe I am being guided by an unprofessional' Klautz thought as his lips pursed in reflection.

But Klautz knew that her logic wasn't gonna work.

"Ah, Klautz you came. Please save me from this lug!"

"No, master you can't do that! Tell me your secret tricks, please! I will be indebted for life."

Klautz brows twitched as he watched the two girls run around like kids.

He had but came back from his excursion back to the group and this was the first thing he was greeted with when they should be hunting instead.

He shook his head in a sigh that gave up on trying to deal with them.

'I wanted to get rid of this girl by playing behind the scenes but...'

But it seemed that Shizu was too scared of her to do anything herself. She was the only one in their whole group who could be said to have some authority over her and yet she was already like this.

'Perhaps I should have never left things as they were.'

"Tch" Klautz clicked his toungue.

He wasn't much sure that what had happened but it had happened because of him. Because he had chosen to ignore a variable for an hour or two... because he had delayed to pull out the thorn in his eyes, it has come to this point.

"Can't delay it anymore, can I?"

Klautz walked in between the two of them as his glare alone made Dina stop in her tracks. She seemed to be having quite the fun before Klautz arrived.

"You wanted to talk in private right? Let's go."

Klautz pupils moved from left to right as he showed her the direction.

*Gulp*

Dina was equally shocked as she had never thought that things would take such a turn.

'Did he find out that I was peeping? Damn, I am exposed!'

As the embarrassment from that event was still having it is after effect on her, she couldn't help but think back to it.

'Does he think that I am a perverted girl? Well, that's for the best... maybe he is taking me away to the sides to fuck.'

Dina smiled as she followed behind Klautz without any complaints. Shizu could only give out a sigh of relief as the troublesome being after she had finally moved away.

"What do you want?" she was suddenly bombarded with that question as soon as she got inside the tent reserved for the two of them.

Klautz stood there crossing his arms against his chest as he glared at her.

'What do I want? Well, I just want to have fun.'

She along with all the other second gens had seen the hell that a kid should have never seen. And yet they were brought up in that environment since their childhood albeit somewhat privileged than the others.

After going through a traumatic experience over and over again as a child as she watched her close friends and colleagues die on the battlefield some protecting her while others for their own foolishness she couldn't help but ask herself.

What was the point of a life in hell?

For some, it was working with others towards the goal of going back to earth.

For some, it was to survive and fill one's belly till the day one die.

So was it really worth any effort for her?

The earth she had never known but only heard stories of.

The death she had never cared for and could hardly be prevented from coming at her at any moment.

There was hardly anything she could do about it no matter how strong she got. And her thoughts couldn't have been more true as KLautz himself could testify.

No matter what the humans do they were going to be wiped out against the demons anyway.

'So I want to have fun with the time I have here.'

Probably because of the dangers that came along at every corner of hell. one never realizes the thrills this place has.

Exploring vast trials.

Hunting beasts.

Feeling the adrenaline flow.

Fooling around as one pleases under the open sky and world which was quite in contrast to the social constraints that was present in the earth itself.

No place could be as exciting as hell, as long as you can survive through it that is.

But Dina had never cared about death, she had watched so many dies that she had grown numb to her own possibilities to die. 

She wasn't just carefree because of the presence of the guards in the newbie camp but it came along as her very nature no matter where she went.

But Klautz hardly had that knowledge.

Both of them lived in different worlds.

Klautz world had always been highly constrained. It was only recently that he was able to buy freedom by rebirth.

For him, hell was the hell that it could be. A place where every step must be taken with caution.

And the same went for Dina's action to infiltrate their group. Klautz simply couldn't think of any other reason as to why she would take such a step unless having some deep underlying motives.

'Unless she is planning to get rid of us and have our resources to herself.'

But her actions so far were too unscrupulous to come to that conclusion. 

'Is she trying to make us have our guard down around her? Well, I would like to tell her that she has miserably failed.'

But Klautz couldn't help but ask...

"What do you want?"

In the back of his mind, he probably knew that their personalities were too much in contrast with each other so much so that Klautz could hardly figure out her next action.

What was her motive? Why was she obsessed with him and Shizu? And why did she spread rumours about them in the first place? Even though they used to make sense before, now they didn't make any.

"I told you before, didn't I? I want you..."

"Lies! That's not it isn't it?"

Klautz glared at her.

"Let me rephrase it for you. You are trying to find a shortcut to win, don't you? By trampling on us you would be able to get a lead when it comes to resources after you encompass ours isn't it?"

Klautz own life had been vastly constricted by the ninjas around him and his clients. The ninjas were tools... the clients were corrupt... they probably were the worst examples of humans were like... the darkest shade of grey. And yet Klautz had been part of that shade himself. He simply had no reference to know that lighter shades exist.

"Eh? Ah no. Besides, it's pretty confirmed that Benton would be winning anyway. There is no point in trying."

Dina tilted her head in confusion. From the very first day she had given up and all she did was fool around. She had no track of what her team was even doing now. Though she had some idea of how much resources she had gathered so far.

Klautz raised his brows.

'Wait. There is something wrong here.'

Dina's claims were as if it were a matter of fact that nothing could change. Since when did things in hell become so definitive? There were supposed to be variables everywhere.

"How can you be sure that Benton would win?" 

Klautz had his focus diverted somewhere else now. If Dina's aim was to cause Klautz to put down his guard then she sure had succeeded albeit that was regrettably not the case.

"Hasn't my Master told you? Everyone would be wanting to join his faction so they are probably buttering him up by working for him in this competition."

"What the!"

'wait wait, I haven't heard of anything like this.'

Klautz had stalked quite a few of second gens for the past few days to collect information and never had he chanced upon anything like this.

"Since when?"

"Hmm from the very beginning. My friend Xia has probably already won his favour."
