『V : The Predator and the Hunter 』


Kuu: For information , this chapter's using a normal POV.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been 3 days since the mysterious girl who introduced herself as Izugami Kairi applied as an assistant in the Konoha Bakery.

The bakery has got some regular customers , for example , the reddish brown haired girl , who's munching chocolate filled breads on the corner table in the bakery.

People looked at her , as they passed by outside the bakery through the glass window , but she doesn't care.She has bread crumbs on her cheeks and around her mouth , but she's still excitedly munching on the last piece of the 8th bread she ordered today.

Kairi has learned about her since they met a few days ago.Shirofuku Yukie , a girl with the same age as Konoha , the daughter of a local animal husbandry owner in Azaria.They had the best milk and cheese products for years.

"So , I made a new recipe today..a strawberry milk bread," Kairi mumbled as she placed the small plate of glistening pink creamed bread , a mouthwatering sight for a big eater like Yukie.

She doesn't need a long time before seizing the bread and gulped it down in less from 3 seconds.She enjoyed the flavour before staring at the rare tosca haired girl in front of her , who's wearing a cloth on her head , tied under her hair, her mesmerizing coloured hair tied in a big bun under the cloth , so no one noticed.Except Yukie , who's uninvitedly entered the kitchen while Kairi worked a few days ago, just to order for more breads , because Konoha fell asleep on the counter.Konoha gets a full 5 minutes scold by Kairi , though.

"So, Yukie-san?" Kairi raised her eyebrow ever so slightly.

"8 more , please!!" She cooed as the male on the table behind her gawked at what he heard.Kairi nodded in response as she glanced at the male behind her , who's suprised that a sweet looking girl like her has a big stomach.

Well , sir , you're not the only one.

"Okay , i'll be right back," Kairi muttered before leaving the table , rushing to the kitchen while rolling her sleeves.She wears the clothes Konoha lent her to promote the bakery three days ago.

Though people usually stare at her uncommonly because of her unusual attire for a girl , Kairi doesn't mind at all.When girls her age usually wear a dress , Kairi wears a long dark blue cape with dark brown shorts.

Kairi knows so well that she won't be roaming around on the street much , and that she would probably work all day in the kitchen , like now.

"Okay , strawberry cream , dough , eggs , and mi--" she stopped as she realized how light the milk box is."Oh boy," she sighed , as she shook the box , only earning a few drop of the white liquid.

Kairi stares at it before widening her eyes at a sudden idea , popping in her mind.

She rushed to the counter , before pulling Konoha down gently but quickly , and whispered her plan.

"Konoha-san , I've got an idea , for promotion and colaboration.It's.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Arghhh...come on , I'm hungry!!" A yell filled the small room , the ravenette next to the midget huffed in annoyance , before smirking creepily and replied back.

"Oh , hi hungry , i'm Kageyama,"

A desperate yet annoyed screech escaped the orange haired male , who've been starving for 30 minutes now.

The door opened harshly by their only Kaicho , with irk marks all over his face , who's been hearing their bickering for the whole 30 minutes.The two rookies flinched in fear as the dark aura surrounded him.

"Go get lunch and hurry up back.I'm giving you 20 minutes," he glared at the two with forced dark smile , and two Hunter rookies scurried out in a blink.

"Oh Gosh...my hair's going to turn grey soon.." Daichi Kaicho sighed as he massaged the bridge of his nose , while returning back to his working room.

"Ahem,"

He lifted his head to see his vice , Sugawara Koushi , picking up some of his glistening grey locks.

"You can't complain,"

Daichi rolled his eyes as he slumped himself back to the office chair.He's going to meet the bedhaired sly Kaicho who has been handling the vampire division since Daichi was promoted to be the Kaichou of the Werewolf Division.

"Sugawara, do i have a free time tommorow?" He turned to his cheerful vice, who's tidying the messy office.

"Hm , yeah.From 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock." Sugawara muttered as he held a grunt , while lifting a box , whixh is , suprisingly as heavy as his own body."And just what's inside this box???"

Daichi let out a small chuckle as he stared at the sweating male , who's glaring at the innocent box for being heavy.(Don't blame people for being heavy , okay? I can't help it.Those matcha desserts deserved to be eaten :v)

"So , why?" Sugawara questioned the ravenette , while picking up another box.The said male , frowned again.

"I gotta deal with the Tetsoup again," he massaged his forehead before noting down his free time.

"Oh , Kuroo Tetsuro? Hm , I'm not suprised," Sugawara chuckled as he placed the less heavy box than before."Anyway , Where did the Tetsoup nickname come from?"

"Tsukishima Kei from the vampire division once told me that he's fine with his partners , 'includes Kurhoe Tetsoup', while reading a blurred writings on his palm," he laughed as he remembered the poker face of the megane-kun.

"Oh My God," They male with the mole next to his left eye laughed , while trying to wipe the tears on the corner of his eyes."Just how much did he hate the bedhead?"

"I know right," Daichi retaliates.Now he turned to his papers again , and sighed as he stared at his watch."Hey , don't you want to go get lunch?"

"Hm? Well , how about you? I can go hunt foods for us," Sugawara offered as he smiled brightly.

"Sure , thank you.I gave Hinata and Kageyama permission to go get lunches around 3 minutes ago. If you meet them , please remind them that I only gave them 20 minutes," Daichi explained as Sugawara started to open the door to the corridor.

"Aye , aye!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to the 'single brain cell duo' that we all loved with all our hear-//*slapped.

Okay sorry.

MEANWHILE!!

IN OMEGAVERSE UNIVERSE!!


Grooooooooooowllllll~~

"Ugh!"

Hinata hugged his protesting stomach with his arms tightly with red hues tinting his cheeks , while a pair of girls pass him while chuckling.

Of course , the curly orange haired rookie feel embarrassed.

"K-Kageyama...i'm reeaaalllyy hungry.." he muttered with the remaining energy he has.

"Dumbass , be patient!! I'm searching for cheap and nice place!!" Kageyama chopped on the shorter male's head.

Unlike usual , when the shorter male would let out some offended noises ,  this time , he stayed silent , still looking down.

"Hey--"

Kageyama's concerned question interrupted as Hinata's body started to gave up , and he kneeled down before collapsed to the pavement.

Luckily , the 180cm tall male caught him in reflex.

"H-Hinata??"

He yanked the shorter male's shoulders slightly , but earned nothing in response.

He looked around panic , before his eyes cought the wood plank hanging in front of a place with dark green window frames and windows , inside , some people are chatting while enjoying breads and teas.

He quickly pulled Hinata's arm over his shoulder , and supported him to the place , and pushed the door open.

He frantically looked around for help , and without shouting for help , a girl , around his shoulder height rushed to them.

"What happened to him??"

"I think he collapsed because of hunger," Kageyama blurted out everything in his mind.He's panicked right now.

"Follow me," was the only thing she said.She led them to a room far behind the counter , and opened a door , revealing a room.

She helped him to lay Hinata on the soft bed , while she asked.

"How long?"

"Just before I entered the bakery,"

"Okay.Wait up , this is alcohol , just..hover it under his nose , so he'll smell it," the girl handed him a glass of alcohol , before leaving the room.

Kageyama turned his attention to the orange haired male on the bed , with furrowed brows.

He hovered the glass of alcohol over Hinata's nose , and soon a sound of gag erupted from Hinata's throat.

A second later , the boy coughed and fluttered his eyes open.

"Ka...geya..ma?"

Kageyama sighed in relief.

"Ah , he's awake? Good." The earlier girl entered the room with breads in two trays.

"Eh? Where am I?" Hinata looked around , confused.

"Baka , stay still , don't go anywhere!" Kageyama tried to chop the orange haired male's head , but stopped by the girl.

"Don't hit him..! He's still enervate,"she sighed."Here , I brought some bread.Fill your stomachs," She put the tray with breads and water cups on the table.

"W-Wait what??" Kageyama raised his eyebrow , literally confused.

"What? It's fine , I'm just helping you," She sighed."Don't worry , they are not poisonous,"

Kageyama hesitantly grabbed one of the milk bread , while Hinata grabbed a pork bun.They both take a bite in the same time , before halting and finishing the bread on their hands in 3 bites.Sparkles shine on their orbs , they are obviously savoring the breads.

"Eat slowly , enjoy," the girl faintly smiles , as she left the room.

I wonder what's in the ravenette's mind right now.He must be concerned about his friend's health , she thought.

But she's wrong.

What the hell , thank God she helped me.If Kaicho heard this , I will be fired!!

Well , reality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Uagh..i'm full!" Hinata patted his stomach , while Kageyama panicked again.

How do I pay all this breads??!?!?

He stared at the two trays that was once filled with breads.

"Oh , you guys are done?"

Kageyama lifted his head and met with the girl's tosca orbs glistening even under the dim light , her head popped from behind the door.

Those eyes somehow looked familiar?? Kageyama thought.

"Ooh , arigato for the breads , I feel great now!!" Hinata cooed.

"I'm glad," she nodded.But she immediately noticed the nervous face of the ravenette.

"Ano , are you okay??"

Kageyama flinched before averting his gaze away.

"How do I...pay?"

The girl stared at him before tilting
her head.

"No , it's all free.That's all I can do to help you , afterall,"

"W-Wait , free?!" Kageyama and Hinata shrieked.

"Yes , of course.I'd feel guilty if I ask sick people to pay their foods when I was the one who offered the breads," she explained."Seriously , it's fine,"

Kageyama and Hinata both exchanged looks before bowing down in 45° degree.

"THANK YOU!!!"

"Your welcome,"

"Can I know your name?" Kageyama lifted his head."I never seen you here before,"

"I'm Izugami Kairi , you can call me Izu.I'm working here , just for you to know,"  she added."No need to be formal , I guess i'm younger than you,"

"No way , i'm 15," Kageyama raised his eyebrows.

"And i'm 16!" Hinata cooed.

"No one asked baka!!"

"But!"

"Well, i'm 14," she replied.

Their jaws dropped.

"What did a 14 years old like you doing by working here?"

"Well , just...you know , trying to make money by myself," she shrugged her shoulders."What's your names?"

"Hinata Shouyo!" The orange haired male cooed while he jumped.

"Kageyama Tobio.We're from Werewolf Hunter Organisation," he explained.

The girl's eyes widen for a sec , before shrinking back again.

"Oh , I see,"

She didn't forgot that they were the ones who caught her sleeping in Kozara forest.But she didn't have any intention to attack them.

"Thank you so much , Izu-san," Kageyama bowed as they stood outside the bakery.

"It's Izu,"

"Your breads are delicious , Izu-chan!" Hinata cooed.

"Well , thank you,"

"See ya!!" The two rookies headed back to the big building on the corner of the street , far away.

The girl waved her hand while bowing slightly , before entering the bakery.

Two Hunter rookies....

The girl replayed some customer's information she received this morning.

『"Apparently , the new Hunters who just graduated from the Hunter Academy will be trained by the biggest division in Azaria , the werewolf division.When the rookies finish their tasks and make a big improvement , the chief of Werewolf Hunter Organisation will decide whether they can apply to their preferred division, or do more tasks to prove they're worthy,"』

The girl stared at the two rookies , fighting in the middle of the pavement before racing to the majestic building in sight.

Seems like they are rookies..

"Izugami-chan,"

The girl's tosca orbs flickered from the crowdy street to the hazel eyes of the bakery owner.

Of course , Konoha Akinori.

"Hm?"

"The plan?" He wiggled his eyebrows while grinning , with arms crossed on his chest.

The girl rolled her eyes playfully.

"Okay,"

Konoha stiffled a laugh as the younger girl he already thought as his sister lightly punched his side , and approached Yukie , who has been munching the last of the most delicious strawberry cream cake in Azaria.

"Ooh , Izu-chan! Where's my order?" She raised an eyebrow as she gulped down the last piece of the cake.Her plates are stacked on the corner of her table without any crumbs remaining.

As expected of Yukie-san..

"Um..about that..apparently , we've run out of milk stock, and the milks in the markets are all bad , though it's cheap.I'm sure that I can make a much more delicious cake if I can get the best milk , but seems like....no one would ever taste the best strawberry cream cake in the City.." the girl sighed dramatically, trying to live the role with all her heart.She can hear a vague laugh from the male next to the counter , who's trying his best to not burst out laughing and giving everybody a heart attack.

Yukie widen her eyes at Kairi statement , and her face become pale.

Is she thinking what I planned her to think about? Kairi thought.

"No delicious strawberry cake?" She stares at the 3 years younger girl , before slamming the table.

"Eh?" Kairi widen her eyes in shock.

"Izu-chan , here's the money.I have a thing to do , a very urgent thing to do.See ya tommorow." Yukie stood up with a serious face , her half divided bangs covering her eyes in shadow , while she handed Kairi the money , and stomped out of the bakery.

Most of the customers didn't care about Yukie-san's outburst, but the albino girl stood still on her spot , kinda suprised.

Was that too much?

"W-What happened?" Konoha joined Kairi  while mumbling in disbelief.

"I...don't know? Food is her life so...Probably she's convincing her father to collaborate with us?" Kairi shrugged her shoulders.

"Excuse me , can I order more?"

"Oh , of course you can.So? Ah , 3 red bean paste bread? Coming up , ma'am,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile , somewhere in Azaria...

"What do you mean the milk's all rotted away?" A man in his 50s exhaled some smoke from his mouth , as he massaged the bridge of his nose , before scoffing at his co-worker.

"Apparently , the market's breaking off the contract.The villagers this year seemed to prefer average quality but cheap milk instead of high quality milk that costs a bit more than the usual price," the co-worker explained.

"Gosh , what are we going to-"
"OTO-SAN!!!!!!"

A screech erupted from outside , and soon the front door opened with a loud boom.

A girl with half divided bangs , with salmon pink sleeveless V neck dress and white short sleeves shirt inside showed on the door , panting , while making a serious face.

"S-Shirofuku?!"

"OTO-SAN," she forced a word between her breaths.

"LET'S SELL THOSE  MILK TO KONOHA'S BAKERY WITH A LITTLE DISCOUNT,"








Girl , Ain't you lucky ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
