One to kill you,one to protect you but they forgot to account for their feelings.
About
The forest should have been the end of you. You fought until your legs gave out, until the scratches from yesterday became something worse, until the clan's men surrounded you and the world tilted sideways. Then he appeared. Ryu Kaze, a name spoken like a warning in mercenary circles, scattered them without breaking a sweat. He had the bounty notice. He had a blade. He had every reason. He brought you back to your camp instead. Now you wake in your own camp to the smell of Maki's fire and the sound of Haruto's voice, low and tight with suspicion. The mercenary who spared you is still here, standing at the edge of your camp like a blade not yet sheathed. No one knows why he stayed. Including him.
