《Loose Screws》5. Vol 1 - Of Head and Ami

"Ah, I'm so sorry," I then said as I try to help my target picking up her groceries.
My target then just smile at me, "No no, It's my bad..",
As she grabs her groceries, I notice a bump on her. "Oh," I never feel so guilty in my life before.
"How many month?" I ask, trying to be casual and not being a guilty rat I am. Then my target smile at me kindly, and my heart starts to squished.
Her smile reminded me of my mother,
"If you don't mind me to ask, How many children do you have?"
"Only one," She then touches her bulged tummy with love, "This little one will be my first one,"
"Oh, Congratulation,"
I then manage to let myself give her a smile. Not a genuine one, but close enough to be one.
"I'm really sorry," I then said as I stare at her eyes and try to 'genjutsu her'.
'I'm really bad at this,' I then say to myself in my head. Then I try to keep trying to make a scene that she grabs a knife and kill the husband by stabbing it repeatedly.
'I'm really sorry,'.
Then my target eyes flashing into a red and then return to her regular eye color.
Her face then went stoic and lifeless,
As if she-
"She died,".
I then accidentally let my mouth loose, I then watch with fascination how my target walks toward which I'm guessing to her home.
Sitting on the branch near my target house, I then wait for a scream. Or anything.
Then it happened.
The husband currently running outside calling for help with his wife holding a knife screaming at him about something.
Then the husband died.
After that, my target suddenly looking at my way,

"As if she's waiting for the next instruction?"
I then watch her in fascination.
The feeling of guilt was gone in an instant.
"Run and hide, make sure no one knows you are alive," I then whisper to the wind. My target, who now is my puppet, nod and run.
Then I watch on how people who were the bystander screaming for help and try to catch the wife.
Yet, somehow she was agile and faster than any of the adult man in the village.
"This is interesting,"
I then touch my chin, "I need to experiment on this, And is it permanent or just temporary? Or will they remember what happened, or will they forget?"
I then shrug my shoulder, "Oh well. Now, I probably need to go back to Suna to proof that my mission is good?"
Then I remember something,
"Do I need the head for the proof?"
I then look at the husband dead body whose face shown disbelieved, scared and more importantly betrayed with his body shown multiple stabs wound.
. . .
I didn't really have time to experiment on my Target who's currently is branded as a killer that on a loose.
But, I manage to steal some money from their house.
I'm not sure if Bank exists in this world, but I am just glad that they got money saved up under the bed and some broken crack under the floor.
It was a giant roll as well too,
And do I feel guilty to rob them? No,
The money will go to the mistress who orders me to kill them anyway. So let's just say this is her Karma.
Putting the money on my pocket, I then go to the woods to clean up any blood on me.
Looking at the bloodied bag that I have, Which have the husband head, I then let out a string of curses. Why? Because I don't have any black cloth on me to hide the head for the proof that I did my mission,

So I get the darkest Kimono that was on the target house. And just use it as a bag or carrier.
"Should've known that I need around 4 or 5 layers!" Looking at the blood dripping, I then grumbled.
I actually have no clue how those serial killers from movies actually manage to get the head without blood dripping everywhere.
"Because this shit keep bleeding!" I then scream out in frustration.
I then look at the bundle of blood I have and scowl.
"Fucking shit,"
I then kick the bundled that contained the head. then I notice I need that for my proof, "Oh shit! I need that!" I then scream out, Running to the rolling bundled.
Then suddenly I see a stranger, whos currently laughing, stopping the bundle of head and grin at me.
"Uh, Hello. Can I have that back please?" I then ask,
Then I notice that his headband is actually slashed.
With my Naruto experience, slashed headband means an enemy to the unslashed headband. And I have an unslashed headband.
Then the man just laughed.
"Uh, do you want to fight?" I then ask hesitantly.
Why? Because first, I don't know what's his level at. And second, I don't know how to fight,
The man then raises his nonexistent eyebrow.
Then I notice that beside him is a female, or male, who currently watching at their way in concern.
"Hey, I see what you did to that lady who murders her own husband, Is that a Bloodline?" He then grins as he grabs the head.
Which I then raise my eyebrow at him, "Yea? And?"
"No, just wondering if you can help me with something,"
With that, I raise my own existing eyebrow.
"Why would I?" I then said, trying to use the logic of the world for once,
Then the man laughs, "Let's just say, We got a mission and have a little bump on it,".
"And?"
I then ask, as I don't think it is right for a normal ninja trying to help a missing-nin, Whether they become a missing-nin because of a reason or not.
"Well, we can see the compassion you have for the lady," He then replied with a grin. Then suddenly his women were gone and back with my pregnant target who I tell to run and hide.
Then I let out a groan, "You got to be fucking kidding me!"
I then grumble as I watch the pregnant lady face,
"Really? You really get caught?" I then grumble toward her way, Which causes her lifeless face to tilt in confusion.
"You got one job, Ami! one job!" I really didn't know her name, but I will call her Ami,
"Sorry," Ami then sais with her dead voice. I then can feel the back of my neck hair to go up. It's really creeping me out.
"Yeah, yeah. Just- Argh!"
I then just grumbled in the end and look at the man who's currently looking smug.
"I think you want to fight,"
Then the man just smiles at me and have his kunai on Ami's neck.
"yea, you really want to fight." Then I focus on the women beside him and look at in her eyes.
Then the woman drops as if he was lifeless.
"HAKU!"
The captor of Ami then screams out. Then I realized something.
"Oh hell,"

The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.
