"Do you remember your mission Kira?" Boss asked me.502Please respect copyright.PENANA8lYlsA7AV1
502Please respect copyright.PENANAA6GTs8OJWz
"Yes," I replied. "Kill the prince and anyone who sees."502Please respect copyright.PENANAE9ndgaaSay
502Please respect copyright.PENANA547JrsN83b
"Good. Do you have your weapons?"502Please respect copyright.PENANAi3ogkfDUKg
502Please respect copyright.PENANADrUY89l5F3
I felt the throwing knifes strapped to my waist and made sure my special sword was strapped to my back.502Please respect copyright.PENANAIupXBfWK9W
502Please respect copyright.PENANAIRcGT6THtP
"Yes."502Please respect copyright.PENANAadH2yhqpNw
502Please respect copyright.PENANAQxwrbCg8gR
"Good. Remember, when you kill him, try to make sure that no one's watching. If anyone sees, kill on sight. Do you understand?"502Please respect copyright.PENANAcz0igZ2LY5
502Please respect copyright.PENANA37sGT4dwYR
"Yes."502Please respect copyright.PENANAaThJQSoHz5
502Please respect copyright.PENANAYIkSqzgBAS
"Now be on your way."502Please respect copyright.PENANAlsBibfTKRZ
502Please respect copyright.PENANAtvpdHG0SFb
I walked out of the room. I was headed to the neighboring country of Hikari, which literally means light. The people of my country, Kurai, which means dark, had been at war with them for years. My job was to kill the prince of Hikari before he was crowned king. I could personally care less about saving our country, I was just obeying orders.502Please respect copyright.PENANADczHGTZn8Q
502Please respect copyright.PENANA4bmiHa35Pc
The people of each country had specific markings that set them apart from other countries. For example the people of Kurai have dark eyes. The people of Hikari all have brightly colored eyes. My eyes are red, which are rare but only appear in my country.502Please respect copyright.PENANAvwyBmWNP9u
502Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5WSlQ0pBo
The trip to Hikari would take 3 days by boat. I boarded my boat. We were lucky to get me on this boat. After the war started, most boats stopped taking people to Hikari. Actually, the boat I was on was a pirate ship that had agreed to take me for a cheap price. It had been a while since I had been on a boat. I went to my room. It was a small room bellow deck. Boss didn't bother paying extra to get me a big room because he knew I didn't really care where I slept. He was right, I could care less.502Please respect copyright.PENANAy907Qxw9ub
502Please respect copyright.PENANAzP0jhVtX2h
I slept through the first night pretty well. I only woke up once when I was sent flying off my bed by a huge wave. Other than that I slept fine.502Please respect copyright.PENANA8WUs43tHHh
502Please respect copyright.PENANAljC69Rljl4
The next morning, I went up to waste some time on deck. The pirates pretty much ignored me and just went on with whatever it is they do. I don't think it was that they didn't care I was there, I think it was just that Boss had told the captain that I was an assassin. I think that none of them wanted to mess with a cold blooded killer.502Please respect copyright.PENANAd7BB7FhrSK
502Please respect copyright.PENANAQy4oPqYMfm
After the 3 days were over, they dropped me off in the Capitol city, Suta, or star. I pulled my hood over my head and kept it tilted down so nobody could see my eyes and black hair, which was an unnatural color here. It was rather easy to sneak into the Capitol building. I went in through one of the air circulators on the side of the building. I found the prince in a war meeting discussing his battle plans with 6 other men, probably his war advisors.502Please respect copyright.PENANADsCOV3YEyT
502Please respect copyright.PENANAknv3pKtHEC
I decided to listen in. I didn't really care what happened to the rest of my country, I just wanted to know where I would be the safest if I was ever there during the attack. I looked in and saw a map lying on the floor. It showed the country of Hikari and the country of Kurai. It showed blue figures, representing his country, and red figures representing mine.502Please respect copyright.PENANAmBkxorvqUA
502Please respect copyright.PENANAKNHDesWvRr
"...attack the city and try to minimize casualties," I heard the prince say.502Please respect copyright.PENANAvXEWToVUVv
502Please respect copyright.PENANAxM0OSE51Ik
Why would he care about another countries casualties? This country was so messed up. I guess mine was too, they also cared about other people. I guess moat people are like that. Weird.502Please respect copyright.PENANAtlv3uYIdWm
502Please respect copyright.PENANAW11LVy2S6I
I looked down and saw blue boat shaped figures surrounding my countries connection to the ocean. Glad I wasn't there right now.502Please respect copyright.PENANAd7xcNFzqXK
502Please respect copyright.PENANAg0mfNB8zQv
"Mr. Assassin," the prince said looking up at where I was, "how long are you going to listen in on this?"502Please respect copyright.PENANAX7XlrFBLW2
502Please respect copyright.PENANACAHkcVc0cN
How did he notice me? I quickly turned around and tried to run away. But it was too late. There was one of the men from the meeting sitting right in front of me. I glanced down into the small room and saw that he was no longer at his spot next to the prince. How'd he get here so fast? How didn't I notice?502Please respect copyright.PENANACgT1sTKHeY
502Please respect copyright.PENANAGMjKwh2sVI
"Mr. Assassin," he said, "please make this easy and just give up."502Please respect copyright.PENANAFZl9YnTnMw
502Please respect copyright.PENANAnpKwemNtK9
Why did they keep calling me Mr. Assassin? Ohh. I still had my hood on. And I guess this business wasn't exactly one for a girl in this day and age.502Please respect copyright.PENANArLRsVoxiqH
502Please respect copyright.PENANAvpp5WvKDJA
I decided it would just be easier if I just gave up. It would be easier to escape once they saw that I was a girl and let their guard down. The man brought me down to the small meeting room. He held tightly onto my wrists behind my back.502Please respect copyright.PENANAaHOgCrJ6Vo
502Please respect copyright.PENANA8h8sKy3H6x
"Let me guess," the prince said. "Your from Kurai and you here to listen in on our plans for the next attack. Sorry, but it's too late the attacks already begun. But don't get to worried, I'm trying to avoid as many casualties as possible."502Please respect copyright.PENANAo4s86S5S01
502Please respect copyright.PENANAsfHURU52gp
"I'm not here to listen to your war plans," I said.502Please respect copyright.PENANA3ak1OjQHH6
502Please respect copyright.PENANANHkWOHHvmB
They looked at me. They all seemed quite surprised by my voice. Apparently it was higher than they thought it would be.502Please respect copyright.PENANA29fnJMHnut
502Please respect copyright.PENANAOCCNyxU4vD
"Umm Nao," the prince, "could you take our assassins hood off?"502Please respect copyright.PENANAnvYpN0X839
502Please respect copyright.PENANAXOsuiwxaQa
The man holding my wrist let go with one hand but still held on a little to tightly for me to escape with the other. He pulled the hood of my head.502Please respect copyright.PENANAImc0wIzm1d
502Please respect copyright.PENANANG8QPR89UD
Everyone in the room, no matter how professional they may seem, lost their composure for a second after seeing a girl assassin.502Please respect copyright.PENANAghffXke5us
502Please respect copyright.PENANA5zpGPCtuZE
The man holding my wrist immediately relaxed his grip on my wrists, probably without even realizing it. Now I just had to wait for the right moment to escape.502Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Mp15z6YQ
502Please respect copyright.PENANAmRIirfCxH5
"Okay Mr. I mean Miss Assassin," the prince said, "if your not here to listen in on our conversation, then I'm guessing you're here to kill me. Right?"502Please respect copyright.PENANAgBTojpnwYv
502Please respect copyright.PENANAZt0vPUMcOn
I nodded.502Please respect copyright.PENANA4xOfRjUlnb
502Please respect copyright.PENANADcBv6BtmYJ
"That's what I thought," he said. "Nao, could you please bring her to the dungeon?"502Please respect copyright.PENANAcWpQ3JDBMl
502Please respect copyright.PENANAPi5G8vraQa
This was my chance. I broke one of my wrists free from his grip and grabbed 3 kunai. I used one to stab the person behind me in the shoulder and the other 2 I threw at the prince. Before they could both reach him, one of his men stuck his arm in the way of the path of the knife. He took one of them in the arm, but only managed to change the direction of the other. It curved slightly and, instead of hitting him in the neck like where it was aimed, it hit him on his left arm. He let out a hiss and pain and I made my escape.502Please respect copyright.PENANAaRyN2kMRcf
502Please respect copyright.PENANAKpLbhKmiPK
I ran down the halls and heard voices yelling behind me. To bad for them, I was faster than anyone is ever met. I made it out of the building, and ran into the forest out of the back. Crap. I suddenly remembered that I forgot to kill all the people who saw me. Suddenly everything went quiet. I looked back and saw that no one was chasing me. Why'd they stop?502Please respect copyright.PENANAsheKiW6eJ7
502Please respect copyright.PENANAk8r4FsEJIP
I kept running forward and was almost caught by a trap. That's why they weren't chasing me. They figured that these traps would get me. I have to admit, their use of old traps was smart, but it was too old fashioned to catch me.502Please respect copyright.PENANAzcuEHQS6sP
502Please respect copyright.PENANAEB07TcmLnh
I jumped over hidden wholes in the ground and avoided nets that suddenly shot up in front of me. So many traps! When does this end? I was getting tired. I got caught in one of the nets. It was too cramped to move and grab any of my kunai or the sword strapped to my back.502Please respect copyright.PENANAjAJDca2cSR
502Please respect copyright.PENANA1P8GO7fLBG
I was probably going to be trapped there until they came to get me in the morning or they'd leave me there forever. Either way I was going to die pretty soon. Oh well after the life I've lived, death was probably the only good thing I had coming. I decided to just sleep until morning.502Please respect copyright.PENANAfJFOA2fvTs
