Snippet #1914160

As he ripped his dagger out of the bandit's spine, he smiled. Kura had completed another contract. In the bushes, he heard clapping.
"Well done, assassin." A man appeared out of the bushes a moment later.
Kura just game him a flat stare. The man who gave him the contract was staring at the fallen bandits. "Interesting technique you used there." The man raised an eyebrow, then threw Kura a bag.
Kura caught it. He could not resist finding out what it was. He opened the bag, then he raised a confused eyebrow. A puppy was lying in there, though it wasn't any ordinary puppy.
Kura went to look at the man, but he vanished.
"Well, it looks like it's just you and me my friend."
Kura grabbed the puppy, held it in his arms and started walking. What have I got myself into he wondered.

As Kura was walking, his stomach was growling with hunger. So did the puppy's.
"Time to get something to eat, my friend."
The puppy's stomach rumbled as if to reply. Kura walked past a village nearby, and decided to see if he could get something there.
The place looked small on the outside, but when Kura entered, it seemed to grow. Children were playing, men were drinking, women were washing clothes in the stream. This village seemed busy. Kura walked up to a nearby stand. He asked for some food, handed the keeper some money and left. Leaving, he noticed something. A group of soldiers were approaching. Oh right, these guys.
Kura remembered that he had a bounty on him. He held the puppy tight, sprang up on a tree branch, then watched the guards approach the village.
Do they have a trail on me, or are they just lucky.
Kura then jumped from one tree to another, using the momentum to carry him on. He hurried his pace foward.
Kura found a hollow tree, then rested there until the guard passed. Did I have to get myself into this?
