Chapter 109
Title: The Noble…
…
-Hane (Noble Girl) POV-
.
.
.
While waiting for the Jounin that will be escorting us from Konoha I look at his student… his name was Gay… or Guy… something like that… and he is doing pushups… that genin will be escorting us. I am not sure how effective this protection will be.
Plus the important thing is that he dresses really weird… with that green jumpsuit… and weird bowl haircut… I hope his Jounin Sensei isn’t like him… after all…
My gaze wandered towards my father who has brown hair and is chubby. The fat bastard… he is trying to sell me to some killer… he says that the other nobles can’t see it and that it is too late to do anything about it… but this ninja already has more influence in the Land of Fire than the Daimyo… which I doubt, after all what would a born and bread killer know about politics.
But enough about that, I am sure that I won’t even be appealing to the Jounin… I wore a normal white shirt and brown pants that aren’t attractive at all plus my brown eyes and brown hair with my glasses…
I am not very attractive like my sisters but… they have already been sold (married) away to other noble families for alliances. They are all into loveless marriages and just waiting to pop out babies, then they will start having affairs with some of the male servants or guards. Being a noble’s daughter is a really terrible existence, never being in control of your own fate or life.
As my thoughts wandered into depressing subjects… something strange happened… before I could even look clearly.
*fwosh*
Suddenly a black flash appeared at the Konoha gate. Then a person appears out of it…He seems like a ninja… I wonder who he is… he isn’t overly handsome or anything like that… but he has a smile on his face… that just seems so pure. From the tattoos on his cheeks I bet that he is an Inuzuka.
Then he goes towards my father… wait don’t tell me… then the ninja says. “Ready to start travelling whenever you are.”
Father just seems a little nervous and says. “Of course Inuzuka -sama.”
I just frown a little when I hear father speak like that. What a coward… the way father said that, it made it seem like we are trying to ask for the ninja’s permission… father shouldn’t be so nervous. After all ninjas are raised to be killers they aren’t exactly as good with money. Probably someone is using this Yami guy as a front while he manages things in the darkness… I bet father never thought of that.
…
Then I get into the fancier carriage with just my maid in there and… my father goes to the other carriage. After that we start moving… and the ninjas seem to be running alongside the horses… even though I have heard a lot of stories about them during my eighteen years of life, it truly is amazing seeing them run at high speeds like that, they don’t even seem tired.
Then after only a couple of minutes I hear my father say to a running Yami. “Inuzuka -sama… I don’t want to be rude or anything but why waste energy needlessly. You can sit in the carriage with my daughter. Your student can come and sit in my carriage just in case of an attack… also I am sure I can teach him or two about nobles and such things. I have complete trust in your ability to protect us no matter what.”
Can you be any more obvious father. The only thing that you have left unsaid was just go and take my daughter, while I suck you off.
But then without any warning what so ever.
The Inuzuka ninja called Yami just… just appears inside the carriage sitting opposite of me… how did he come inside… the window is too small to enter and I didn’t hear the carriage door open… I guess it must be a ninja thing.
Since Yami is sitting opposite of me… he is also sitting next to my maid and she seems very uncomfortable. Then the ninja Yami looks at me and smiles. Then he says. “So the journey to twelve days at the speed that we are travelling. So how about some games.”
Then he pulled something out of his pocket… they were… playing cards… a ninja having playing cards on him just seems kind of strange. Well then I just look at him and ask. “Couldn’t you just cheat… after all you are a ninja.”
Then Yami’s smile gets even wider and he says. “I promise on the name of the Sage of the Six Paths on all that is holy and right I shall never cheat.”
Well I guess we should play. I look at my maid who seems a little nervous, then I said. “She will be playing also.”
Yami just nods. “Sure no problem.”
I guess I could play games… better than doing nothing…
…
After some time I just stare at the cards. I can’t help but think… how was this even possible.
After sixteen games we even started betting money after the 4th game… I just look at our resident ninja… we have played SIXTEEN games… and he has lost EVERY single one of them… his luck is horrible…
I don’t even play poker… my maid just learned how to play the game and EVEN she won money… all of Yami’s money that he was concurrently carrying all 100.000 Ryo… I just look towards the maid that has been my friend since I was young… she is 90.000 Ryo richer… I didn’t lose money, actually I won 10.000 Ryo… but I was wondering… is my maid some type of gambling genius… I just squint my eyes and look at her body shaking and a happy smile on her face. She did just more than her yearly wage… probably… I am not really sure how much father even pays her..
Then I look at Yami, unlike us… he is the only one who lost money. 100.000 Ryo to be exact… then he just looks at me and with an embarrassed face and scratching the back of his head he says. “Can you buy me some food when we go to the next town… I lost all of my money to you guys.”
A ninja… just lost so much at poker… he really didn’t cheat did he… but his luck sure sucks…
I just smiled at Yami and said to him with a familiar voice. “Sure Yami…”
It is his money after all… and I guess he isn’t such a bad guy.
Then suddenly he just hugs me. Bringing his arms around my neck and our bodies touching together… I could feel his body heat. “THANK YOU.”
I blushed a little but he couldn’t see it. Then when I came to my senses I told him.
“Ok, ok stop now Yami.”
Contrary to my plea he just gives me a deeper hug and says with a whispering voice. “Nice people like you really do exist. You just rekindled my faith in humanity.”
When he says that, I can’t help but wonder, he really is a good guy..
I just… hug him back a little…
If I am going to be sold to some noble… It wouldn’t be so bad to…

AUTHOR NOTE:
(Do I really need to say what Yami is thinking…. Anyway we see that people have started to notice that Yami is an economic powerhouse.)
