After running for a little while, Haruka noticed the sound footsteps falling in with her own; someone else was running as well and judging from the fact that the sound did decrease in volume, she could only deduce that the person was likely running in the same direction as her. Now, the thought in Haruka's head was nowhere near as eloquent as that. Her only thought was, that this person was following her. The person was wearing all black, but his outfit reminded her more of a samurai than it did a ninja. She could spot the glittering of his hitai-ate on his arm, so she knew he was a shinobi. Her own Konoha hitai-ate was safely stashed in her kunai holster and other than her physique attire, there was no way to know that she was a ninja. She had even opted to leave her weapons in the safety of her home, unlike this fellow who had a katana resting on his back.

In a place like Gobi, where missions were as far between as they were and as poorly paid, compared to what she was used to from Konoha, it was not hard for her to imagine that the ninja here would be a bit desperate to earn a few extra easy bucks. In fact, even in as thriving a village as Konoha, some of the people who had been hit hardest by the war had taken to such measures.

Slowing to a halt, Haruka turned to look at the person behind her. With an arrogant grin on her face, which really showed the fact that she was missing one of her front teeth, she crossed her arms over her chest and gave a small chuckle, “[color=plum]If you're hoping for some easy cash, you seriously chose the wrong girl to mug,[/color]” she said arrogantly, placing a hand on her kunai holster to let him know that she was both ready and willing to fight if it had to come down to that.
