A tense silence passed between Shizuku and Breck as the two stared at each other. Shizuku did not seem scared, and Breck knew she couldn't be fearful.
She could crush him with a pinky if she wished to cause harm or kill him. Breck knew he was the prey for the first time in his life. But weirdly, Breck was not angry at it.
He never had this feeling before of any of his past prey. The sensations of being on the edge, knowing that a single wrong move could expose you or kill you.
It was intoxicating!
Breck wanted more of this feeling, but before he could think. Shizuku stepped forward, her nen invisible to Breck as he could not use Nen. Breck felt warm air on his skin as Shizuku stood a few inches from him.
Breck could feel the scent of iron on her body, mixed with a faint but sexy vanilla-scented perfume. Breck instantly knew she was a killer. Likely kill someone every day.
Shizuku tilted her head sideways as she analysed Breck's eyes. She could feel a killing intent in his body since she heard the heartbeat. He also had a strong desire to kill.
"Be careful, lady. Or I might fall in love if you stare at me with such beautiful eyes," Breck teased with a smile. His fingers twitched as he resisted the urge to touch her face.
Breck internally sensed the warmth emanating from Shizuku. This warmth was likely her Nen or aura. She had Blinky in her hands, after all. Strangely, Breck felt an urge.
He felt as if he were in contact with Shizuku for a while longer; he could somehow awaken his own Nen. Breck does not know how, but it must be his talent.
It must have been changed by that entity.
"You are weird... I will leave you here," Shizuku turned around to walk away, and Breck felt the warmth on his skin slowly fade. Breck followed her with a smile.
Shizuku looked back, her glasses low on her nose as she heard the footsteps of Breck following her closely. She was confused as she turned to look back at Breck.
"Why are you following me? I don't like the smell coming off you. It's like a rotten heap of trash," Shizuku said with her eyes unblinking and shy. Breck chuckled.
He did smell like rotten trash. It must be because he was under that trash heap or because he was wearing rags for clothes. Looking at his clothes, Breck frowned.
"I am sorry, beautiful lady. But I was just dead a few seconds ago. If you would allow me to follow you, I would be grateful," Breck said with a smile.
If he could follow Shizuku around. He might be able to unlock his Nen without using the initiation process or time-consuming meditation. The best option was the initiation process. Used by Shizuku.
Plus, Breck liked how Shizuku looked. Her physique was sexy but not overly plump. She had a beautiful face paired with nice hair and a pair of eyes that attracted his attention.
Breck was not shy to admit that her looks attracted more than just his desire to mutilate her and cut her into pieces to satisfy his massive killing intent right now.
"Follow me? But why do you want to follow me?" Shizuku asked with confusion as she pushed her glasses higher on her nose. Her golden cross dangling from her neck, over her black turtle neck shirt.
Shizuku was confused about how the man in front of her returned to life, or why he would want to follow her. She was not a nice person who would allow someone to follow her without a profitable reason.
She will listen to him out, and if she does not like the answer. She will kill him and suk his body up with Blinky. Destroying the evidence of his
murder.
This was Meteor City, after all. No one would go looking for a missing person here. If the person did not come home before 11, then he is likely dead or kidnapped.
It's basic knowledge in Meteor City.
"To be honest. I like how you look, but the real reason is because you are strong," Breck said with a chuckle, causing Shizuku to look at him with raised eyebrows.
Shizuku was about to kill Breck for his answers. None of what he said is beneficial to her or will bring her profit. So she does not need him to follow her.
"I can feel a kind of energy around you. I want to know what it is," Breck said as he noticed the killing intent in her eyes. He was not scared or fearful. He could die once, and could die twice.
It made no difference.
Shizuku stopped her actions with surprise as she looked at Breck. If he can sense her aura without having his aura opened. This guy must be very talented.
Sensing Shizuku's killing intent slowly fades away. Breck smiled and got closer ot her as they resumed walking. Shizuku didn't deny him this time as Breck walked with her.
"So, can I know your name? Oh, is it a beautiful mystery like you?" Breck asked as he looked at Shizuku. He could feel the warmth on his side as he walked beside her.
"My name is Shizuku Murasaki... What is yours?" Shizuku asked while turning to Breck. Her blunt and quick answers caused Breck to smirk with a growing heat in his gaze.
She was cute...
"My name is Breck Lixo. It's a pleasure to meet you, my destined partner in crime," Breck suddenly spun around, kneeling in front of Shizuku as he took her palm into his.
He looked up and locked eyes with Shizuku, a grin on his face as he felt the soft palm in his hand. Breck was not lying since it was destiny that she was the one who found him.
If it were anyone else, Breck would have killed them to vent his killing intent on that person. Unless they were as beautiful as Shizuku, since he has a liking for beautiful things.
"Partner in crime? But I am a thief," Shizuku said neutrally. Breck nearly laughed as he stood up. Being a thief or a criminal doesn't matter as long as you have blood on your hands.
"Then I guess I am a thief from now on as well," Breck said as he leaned down. His face was an inch from Shizuku's. His height was an impressive 6'0.
The two continued walking under the setting sun. Until they eventually reached a populated area with actual people walking around. It looked more like a village surrounded by trash.
The people shot a look at Breck as he followed Shizuku. Soon, Shizuku led Breck to her home, which was no different from the rest, except maybe a bit more luxurious if you could call it that.
Entering the house, Breck noticed that it was small with only a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom and a shower inside the bedroom. Breck shrugged; he had no complaints.
"Uhmm... What was your name again?" Shizuku suddenly asked with a frown. Brecks chuckled, remembering that Shizuku is not good at remembering things.
"Breck Lixo,"

Third chapter!
Shizuku is in the building! I think she is the best-looking female character in HXH. What do you guys think?
She is the main girl for real.
Leave a power stone if you agree!
Thanks.
