Chapter 19 - The Quest For Water[7]
The group trod back to the safe zone before the Sun went down the horizon. They were exhausted and famished with minor injuries here and there.
Bathing in the blood of monsters this group of braves had returned. To those who didn't follow them, it was unusual for all of them to be alive. Surviving outside the safe zone wasn't child play after all. Yet, they did survive, all of them. Bill was partly responsible for this cause he was looking out for his teammates. But, lady luck wasn't on their side. The group had been unsuccessful in finding a fresh-water source in the wilderness. The residents were all thirsty. Their throat dry, poorly cooked meat stuck in their teeth.
"Bill, what happened? Did you find water?"
Bill shook his head in denial.
"Don't panic, we have to try our best and keep hoping for the bright future"
But, alas their bright future was never meant to come.

[Selena's PoV]
She bit her lips.
She was in a dilemma. She didn't what to do.
Although there wasn't much she could do in the first place.
She had sustained quite a lot of injuries from the excursion. And, she knew if things were to continue the way they are she would probably die tomorrow or the day after.
She opened her status screen.
Class –> Vixen (Demonic class)
Strength 13 (10 + 3) Agility 8 (5 + 3)
Stamina 9 (6 + 3) Intelligence 7 (4 + 3)
Wisdom 6 (3 + 3) Devil's Aura 13 (10 + 3)
Special Note: Devil's Aura has been awakened
That sharp pain that ran through her at the cave has caused quite a few changes to her status screen. But, when she found everyone equally confused she wasn't able to consult.
Only Klautz seems to know what happened.
'If only he wasn't so cocky!'
Everyone was fast asleep. Selena got up. And, walked through the darkness of the night. She was unsure what misfortunes may befall her, cause of her decision. But, she had to do something!. Or else, she would die a miserable death.
"Klautz, are you awake?" she said ducking her head.
Klautz shot open his eyes.
"What do you want?" Klautz inquired.
He hadn't slept anyway. He was on alert and was just meditating as he lied down. You can never predict from where and when danger might befall here. You have to stay alert at all times, even in your slumber.
"Hmm, I have a request. Can I voice it out?" Selena tried to be as docile as possible. If his negotiation with Klautz it won't be long before she is dead.
"Speak!" A lot was going on in Klautz mind and now he has to take care of another problematic person.
"Today's expedition made me realize something," she continued, "That I can't survive alone in these lands."
Klautz nodded.
"Well yes, you are right about that."
"You are weak to survive alone and you can only survive by tagging along in a group. Even then the chances are thin. If you can't even do that then be prepared to die."
Selena strongly shook her head.
"No I don't want to die," said Selena, "That's why I want to tag along with you."
Klautz burst out into laughter.
"Haha, tag along with me. Won't you be useless for me? I can survive the same with or without you, you will be only getting in my way," Klautz claimed.
Selena bit her lips.
"Ahm, I am willing to pay just… just help me stay alive. I don't wanna die," she said.
Her face was disheveled from worries and her thighs were getting moist.
"Pay? What can you pay to me?" Klautz asked.
There was nothing that Selena could help him with…
"I can do all sorts of things for you… anything you might ask," Selena said. She lifted her skirt just enough to state what she meant.
Klautz raised his brows.
"Anything?"
"Yeah, all sorts of fun stuff," she lifted her skirt further to show her patines as she gave him a seductive smile.
"Haha, you dare?"
"I do."
"Fine enough. I accept the payment," Klautz continued, "I will ensure your safety in exchange for your body and your subservience. Is it a deal?"
"Yeah…" Selena said as her voice trailed off. She was still unsure about what she was doing was the right thing to do.
She felt as if she was putting her hands inside the mouth of a ferocious wolf.
Klautz got up as he smirked.
"Been a while since I had s*x last time."
Indeed.
In the ninja village, there was a rule that anyone who wanted to take a mission of B rank or more had to castrate himself to prevent any carelessness that might occur during the missions due to their unrestrained lust.
That's why the number of B rank ninjas was limited.
And Klautz being the best ninja of Kishiokagure of course had to go through the same process.
"I can't even recall when I had last touched a woman," he whispered to himself.
Being castrated in his life. He had a huge deal of pent-up sexual frustration.
"Now when a weak woman is happily offering her to me. I don't have a reason to refuse do I?"
His lips arched into a satisfied smile.

[Selena's PoV]
His eyes scanned me like a willing who was going to eat me up any moment. I was frightful of what he might do.
'I things don't go well. I can scream at the top of my voice and notify everyone. At least, I would be out of danger if everyone thinks of him as a rapist.'
He walked up to me and placed his hands on my cheeks as he caressed them. His touch gentle and soft.
His hands warm and strong gave an intimate feel of a man.
"Let us begin the pact, shall we?"
I nodded as that was the only thing she could do in this hopeless situation.
Selena hadn't noticed it then but Klautz had procured a piece of cloth from his inventory.
The hand of his which was caressing her a minute ago now held her head firmly as the other hand shoved the cloth to the mouth.
"By the way, if you were planning to dub me as a rapist by screaming like a bitch then forget about it. I have seen many like you," Klautz said.
With her mouth stuffed with a cloth and being in Klautz bear hug, she couldn't say anything…
She could only shake her head in refusal.
