*continued story* "You cannot kill her wherever you find her because she lives in the middle of a village, and is bound to be somewhere in it." Kimiko read Haruki's mind and answered it. Haruki stared at the old broad. She had read all of her pawns minds from the moment he arrived to serve her, but still she creeped him out. "Fine, so I don't kill her wherever I find her. Where does she live?" Haruki asked instead. "That isn't a good idea either." Kimiko discouraged, already knowing what he was thinking, "The girl lives with an assassin, who worked for that snake, Orochimaru." Kimiko withered in disgust at her arch-rivals name. "If you target her home, that assassin will be there, and he's an enemy you do not want to face. And also, Keoshi is a bounty hunter; she will be on her guard in her home." "Bounty hunter?" Haruki interrupted, clenching his teeth. "I met a bounty hunter once. He called a monster." He laughed horribly. "I slit the dog's throat." "Then you'll enjoy killing her." Kimiko surmised. Kimiko baded him to come forward, stretching out her pale, wrinkled hand. Haruki didn't budge. "Why should I?" he demanded, not trusting the old hag. "I will not hurt you, Haruki." Kimiko promised, getting up from her chair and walking up to him. "I merely am giving you instructions..." she placed her hand on his forehead. Instantly, Haruki was plunged into a sea of images. He was in a village, one he had never seen before, and seemed to be walking through its streets. Suddenly, Kimiko's voice began talking. "This is where she lives. And this is how you're going to kill her." As Kimiko's voice said that, Haruki saw himself grabbing a green-haired girl and knocking her out. "What the he**?" Haruki gasped. "What's going on? That can't be me!" "It is just a shadow of what's to come." Kimiko's voice explained. "In a day or so from now, Keoshi will not be working. In the morning, she will be going to town to get some groceries, when she's on the way home, that is where you will come and kidnap her...." *to be continued*
