Chapter 6: To The Death It Is

Meanwhile this assassin was extremely confused to teenagers that should've been nothing more than easy job turned out to be such a pain was more that boy moves so abnormally. To be able to dodge my sure kill Asashin Art Means that bat is obviously not ordinary. " Forget the girl for a moment he's the real threat I won't feel satisfied until I seem dead or the name Kureiji Matsu Will no longer be feared instead I might even turn into a laughingstock " Thinking up to hear Kureiji's mind is made up. He was determined to get rid of this threat as soon as possible to avoid any other complications.

It was then that a hand reset of the darkness and grabbed his neck so firmly he thought it might break. Forget about retaliating he could hardly move onto the immense pressure use facing. He couldn't even turn his head to look at assailant But he managed to squeeze out the words "WHO ARE YOU "

"Blame yourself for going after the young master I was planning on sitting and observing but it seems I can no longer do that I guess it won't hurt to intervene this once At least until the young master regains his memories. "

And with a sharp crack this assassin fell to the ground his life is I still opened wide and disbelief.

The man shrouded in darkness padded his hands looking at the body disdainfully. "How brazen to actually go against ….. sigh I Guess a corpse can't feel remorse anyway" The shadow then disappeared as if it was never there.

Meanwhile Xaio Yu Also realize a sudden anomaly, they were no longer being pursued, Bai Yang couldn't believe it but she had no Choice has she watched a boy look behind him with a perplexed expression." I refuse to believe he would've given up like that I mean he even resorted to attacking in broad daylight it seemed as though he'd have me die as long as he completed his mission but we're still alive and fine so what about him. Well at least that's one less thing to worry about but I still feel uneasy knowing that someone with such abilities would've run into Miss Fortune especially here" after pondering on it for a while he shake his head thinking the heavens have their own designs and I'm not stupid enough to try to change that schematic so let's just take it as a blessing I guess. Cheyanne as he thought so he headed over to Bai Yang to check her condition. Thankfully other than her nurse she was perfectly fine. But i've been made painfully aware of my weakness this can't go on.

The assassin was no longer after they lies it did very little assuage Xia Yangs mood. Judging by the state that Bai Yang found him in He was sure to have a lot of enemies, and the fact that he can't remember any of them puts him at a life threatening disadvantage. " I need to increase my strength and it seems that's more important than my memories right now … Sigh"

Sensing the depression coming from him Bai Yang couldn't help but hug him. His body was extremely scholarly while he had delicate features his eyes were golden yet his hair was pitch black she can imagine the hardships someone of his age could have went through but from the event so far she couldn't avoid the truth. At the same time a decisive life like it across her eyes.

" Thank you Xaio Yu If not for you I would have a long since been dead. " The smile she showed this time dazzled Xaio Yu before he could squeeze out and reply .

" you have also save my life this is Called repaying the favor think nothing of it."

However this is different though I did it on a spur of the moment there was no harm to my life while because of me you were also target how could you possibly compare the two.

Xaio Yu scratched his head in embarrassment before saying " If you really feel like making it up to me just give me a place to sleep for the night before I leave in the morning and I will be eternally grateful.

The depression on face was obvious hearing that he was leaving in the morning but as if she had suddenly thought of something she quickly said" Of course my house has plenty of guest rooms rest as long as you'd like"

" Great! Than… Xiao Yu suddenly cut his sentence short prompting Bai Yang to ask worriedly " What wrong? Don't tell me he's back" her face went pale at just the thought of being hunted by that lunatic.

" No, maybe his companion "Even as he said this he suddenly turned and walked towards where they came from searching to and fro to no avail. Sighing he began to head back when a creature resembling a shadow lunged from beneath his feet. Xiao Yu raveled a mocking smile as he was long since prepared. Just in time I was tired of fleeing, he was vexed as is and needed a nice stepping stone and he's pretty damn strong…

Seeing his surprise attack missed the shadowy figure didn't continue but stared at Xiao Yu before asking " Who are you? Why stand in our way?"

Xiao Yu laughed as he heard that. " putting aside the fact that she save my life that friend of yours targeted us both from the very start, It seems while you two are aware of each other your not truly apart of the same group. Is her life so valuable ? Or maybe … you people fear that constitution of hers." Xiao Yu revealed a malicious grin while the figure was visibly shaken.

...…

" Ill take that silence as confirmation meaning you won't stop until you die or she does." Xiao Yu put his hand on his chin in a contemplative manner before asking " Could you possibly just leave, I don't mind entertaining you but it seems your partner has abandoned you and while my daintain isn't indeed damaged I doubt I could loose to someone whose already injured."

As the shadowy figure listened his face went through a myriad of expressions " Where the hell did this kid come from! I haven't revealed and relevant information yet he's already pieced everything together through observation and intuition alone, not to mention the fact that he's realized something about that girl… Dangerous.

" Wait, run? So it wasn't you who killed him?" Something is seriously wrong here, there are too many unknowns surrounding this you, not to mention the aura surrounding him is constantly growing as if he can cultivate just by breathing.

Then his shock was replaced by a look of alarm,!could he possibly be from one of the sacred lands! This needs to be reported immediately, the girl actually has a backer. Thinking up to there he quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared as quick as he came.

But Xiao Yu was stumped. Dead ? That deviant was actually killed ? By who? But he soon shook his head and turned around to head back to Bai Yang, no use worrying about it now, it's a load of my Chest if that lunatic has been killed. But what surprised him was that upon his return he was greeted with a kiss to the cheek by a blushing Bai Yang as she said in almost a misquote like voice" Thank you, I'll be sure to repay you"

Looking at this beauty acting bashfully brought a smile to Xiao Yu's face. He place a hand on her head saying " don't worry about it, you're just as much as a benefactor to me so let's call it even then? Haha! Plus I'll be leaving tomorrow so how about the next time we meet you treat me to something good to eat, Now that that lunatic has been killed they should start getting back to normal around here"

Looking at Xiao Yu's genuine smile causing her face to heat up down to her neck until she heard his last words " leaving? Why you still haven't recovered your memories and to be honest I feel like he was forcing equanimity indicated by the ineffable languor he's been unwittingly exhibiting signs of distrait. She realized after losing his memories when one would normally bewail over such a bewildering situation, yet this boy no older than her forced down the verve and languor to protect her with an assiduous personality, adamant and intrepid in the face of an abhorrent opaque murderer while having to simultaneously deal with the grief of not knowing himself. Simply moving with limpid intentions to embolden her but also himself. At that thought she found her eyes starting to redden. However her eyes were soon filled with zeal as she watched him walk back.

" We should report this to that Mai Yuko, that fellow seems competent and who knows she may even catch that slippery one."

' This guy probably misses that vixen Mhphf. But before she could open her mouth she was interrupted by a melodious voice filled with worry.

"Xiao Yu! Are you okay!?" They both turned to see a flustered beauty walking hastily in their direction followed by an order of knights causing Bai Yang to subconsciously frown.
