Life after being a Mercenary

"You fucking.... You are strong as hell"

No. 10 says as he try his hardest to stand up again looking at a certain direction.

"Would you looked at that? You looked kinda of tired now. Is this your first time killing someone?"

He says again and I looked at the certain direction he is looking at and then saw.....

"Jin!"

I shouts while looking at Jin who has a wound on his shoulder and on his face. It looks like not only No. 10 is wounded but also Jin.

I actually can't think of what is currently happening right about now. What is no. 10 doing here? Is he with no. 13?

"No.10! What are you doing here?!"

I can't say anything and just looked at Jin, I heard no. 13 shouts and that only add more to think in my hide.

"Oh! No. 13! Are you okay? This guy just randomly attacked me thats why I needed to fight him"

He said but I actually didn't think that's true. I looked at Jin who is also puzzled at what is no. 10 saying.

"What are you talking about? You are the one who started attacking me. I remember earlier that you just started drooling and says that you are gonna kill me and Julian or something. We have been fighting for almost five hours now"

He says with a confused looked on his face, I believed in him of course considering that I actually don't believe that he is not gonna kill someone.

If he manages to kill someone, then that means his sister is in danger or something must've happen to his family.

"What the hell? No. 10! Blackdog said that you should stay into the village! What the heck are you doing here?"

No. 13 says with a confused looked on his face and I looked at no. 10, he looks like as if he is enduring something because he keeps holding his arm and by that time, i think he just snaps.

He just says random thing at us and just started shouting and spouting something.

"What the hell?! Do you really think I'm just gonna stay there like a fucking pussy?! Hell no! I'm gonna kill all of you here you fucking asshole!"

He says and then take his gun and point it at us, Jin manages to move fast but I really think he is mot gonna be able to fight. Until, I saw him tackle no. 10 and throw him at the gate who is currently destroyed.

I think they fight each other that it causes for one of them to get thrown in the gate and the gate got destroyed due to force and how strong must've been thrown.

"Aurgh!"

No. 10 just grunt, no. 13 tries to subdued Jin and attack him but I managed to hold his shoulder and then I saw Jin who is currently trying to chase no. 10.

I punch no. 13 in the face but it looks like it is not enough for him to get knocked out. He manages to fight back by throwing a few punches and then take his knife out but before he manages to do that, I forcefully take it to his hand and then slash his shoulder and leg a little bit. It is shallow so I know that he is only gonna get light injuries.

As he was falling to his knees, I run to him and then as he was kneeling i used my knee to attack him in the face causing him to get sent flying towards a pillar from this building and he got knocked out.

"Jin! Just let no. 10 b- I mean that guy!"

I almost slip and told him about no. 10. I can't let him know about my past, no one should know.

"But I need to kill him!"

I was surprised by what he just said, it looks like he is scared about something that's why he is trying to kill no. 10, I ran up to him and touch his shoulder.

"He is....."

I struggle to say to him that he is my comrade and that he should not him him but I got shocked by what he just says.

"He is your old comrade when you were still a mercenary I know"

My eyes got widened as soon as I heard those words that came out to his mouth. How did he know? How much did he know?

"I'll explain to you later! But more importantl-"

He didn't managed to continue what he is going to say and just looked down. His eyes is getting covered by his white hair causing for me to not see his eyes clearly.

"Yeah.... I think you are right.... We should let that guy go for now...."

He just said to me. What's with sudden change of heart? I thought he is going to kill him because he needed to? He is so scared when he says he needed to kill him.

'well, I think that didnt matters for now....'

I looked at him and then smile, he also smiled back at me and then looked at the back of mine.

'oh yeah.... More importantly..."

I said as I turn my back and then go to the direction of no. 13. I carried him and then go inside of this abandoned building, I didnt how but one of the lights of this room is still working.

Jin and I tied no. 13 in a chair that we found inside this building and then I just stand there while Jin sit at the floor. I guess he is kinda of tired.

"Wake up, I know you are awake"

As soon as I say those words, I heard a quiet chuckle coming from him. He is just chuckling there and then after a few seconds of him chuckling, he looked at me and says:

"I didn't know you are going to work with someone, foolish of me to assume you are going to work alone"

No. 13 says and then looked at Jin who is sitting still on the floor. I was about to say something but I got interrupted when Jon says something.

"Nah, I was actually wondering what are you guys doing here. I saw you both earlier this afternoon in the alley"

He explained and I already know that but, what I wasn't expecting is he is strong. Really strong.

I was also wondering how did he know that I was a mercenary, how did he know that he was my comrade and how many things did he knows.

"Really? I thought you are friends with him?"

"Yeah if course, Julian is my friend"

He says which made me looked at him with my eyes widened. I just smile because it makes me wanna smile that he says that. He is also the first person that says that to me.

"Haaaa.... Well..... Not that I care anymore"

He says as he lower his head and just smile there as if he is gonna have his final moments now.

"Blackdog actually says that he is starting to get suspicious about your death so he sent me here in this country to investigate. I didn't actually think about that at first and just thought about it as a signal that I was about to work at this country because he specifically says it but when I saw you sitting there, I can't really believe my eyes"

He says again while chuckling, I am now certain that this is really no. 13 because he is always chuckling even though he is in dangerous situation.

"Blackdog give me a mission here to get me sent to this country and investigate you. if his suspicions about you being alive, he can just say that i have to complete this mission to thia country that's why he sent me here. But looks like I am gonna die now."

He says again but I was confused, if blackdog has a suspicions that I was alive, why didnt he tell to the other digits and send them here. I am sure that Blackdog knows that no. 13 is not capable of defeating me.

"Why did Blackdog sent you and not thw other digits?"

I asked because I was really puzzled and not get the way Blackdog is thinking.

"Because the other digits didn't k ow that you are still alive. He didn't tell them because it was merely a suspicion"

He explains to me so I can get it. I looked at him and walked towards him, it looks like he is finally accepting his death but got shocked because I started untying him.

"What are you doing?"

"Untying you"

"I know what are you doing, what I meant is..."

"The reason why you can't leave the village is because he is in there right?"

He suddenly paused and flinched by what I just said. He has a brother that's hy he can't leave the village. He just grit and bite his lip.

"That's why you need to stay alive"

I just said and then continue untying him until every last rope thatwe used to tie him got cut off and so he can move freely.

"I'm gonna leave some trace that i got killed when I was doing my mission and not because i got killed by you. I was gonna leave some evidence that i also failed to fulfill my mission here and then stay hidden from another country"

He says and then walked towards the window of this second floor building and then hop into it.

"Im gonna leave now....."

He says again but he just stop there and sit by the edge of the window.

"?"

"Tell me no.1..... what is your name?"

I didn't get shocked or anything, I just looked at him with widened eyes but I am not shocked.

"Julian.... Julian Reaper"

"And you are....?"

He looked at my back and so I did, I noticed Jin who suddenly flinched when he realized that we are talking about him.

"Oh uh..... Jin..... Jin Aneced"

He says and then just looked away, I just smiled there because I think he got shy to tell his name.

"My name is Andrew"

He just says and then jump off the window and I didn't managed to see him again because he just dashes on top of the trees and then disappear in the night and dark environment.

"So uhm..... Uh...."

I didn't know what to say because it is making my head dizzy and i dont know how to explain it to him.

"Oh yeah... Uh.... How do I explain this.... Uhm...."

He looks like he is hesitating to tell me something and then I just remember how he managed to know a lot about me.

"Let's just say that..... I have this thing called...."
