Hitomi sighed heavily, but in truth she couldn't deny how great pay this was.  The money was too good, and she really didn't want to risk getting into a fight with such a disciplined kunoichi, particularly not a puppet user... they had an unfortunate tendency to use poison, and would likely just try to temporarily paralyze her and drag her along if need be... not particularly how Hitomi wanted to spend her time.  Who knows, maybe she would end up closer to a major city with a fair bit more eye candy than this little spot.<br/><br/>When both the beautiful puppet and the old woman had left, Hitomi stood up, poured herself one more small cup of sake and slammed it down in one go.  She gathered up her things, left a few coins on the table and with a quick nod at Bontenmaru, as they never said good bye, and walked out the door to start looking for her new employer.
