"Do you remember your mission Kira?" Boss asked me.514Please respect copyright.PENANA0H9tBw4PqR
514Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7bl3oUXZT
"Yes," I replied. "Kill the prince and anyone who sees."514Please respect copyright.PENANAzlceNrsshO
514Please respect copyright.PENANA7tbTcQ2LPd
"Good. Do you have your weapons?"514Please respect copyright.PENANA99Mu7CkSEN
514Please respect copyright.PENANANm5Z22LQOD
I felt the throwing knifes strapped to my waist and made sure my special sword was strapped to my back.514Please respect copyright.PENANAUFRolOFDkd
514Please respect copyright.PENANAbcf2j8dETr
"Yes."514Please respect copyright.PENANARPjzDcwVPt
514Please respect copyright.PENANA8eLZ6Qg02W
"Good. Remember, when you kill him, try to make sure that no one's watching. If anyone sees, kill on sight. Do you understand?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAzFG71OJaN3
514Please respect copyright.PENANAIIBxObi9RA
"Yes."514Please respect copyright.PENANADpQqJrmERn
514Please respect copyright.PENANAGrelOGj3gH
"Now be on your way."514Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ2pXayQcg

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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA7BGw2QpS9X
514Please respect copyright.PENANACLTdApdJNs
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAw2r1YL9fxM
514Please respect copyright.PENANArChIVDkuEq
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAX8CA5DILCB
514Please respect copyright.PENANAVw8un94ySB
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAmAdZN0akvp
514Please respect copyright.PENANAepBnrIXC7m
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANASf11KqMIo8
514Please respect copyright.PENANA3x04o0Naia
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAHdyEhQc32B
514Please respect copyright.PENANAsmqUO2GqBD
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA5VRZ7Sckvi
514Please respect copyright.PENANAz7SFXZOicS
"...attack the city and try to minimize casualties," I heard the prince say.514Please respect copyright.PENANAVUFgfE3lvD
514Please respect copyright.PENANAkJzC0yxIVv
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAXdWMXWwDkU
514Please respect copyright.PENANAK1UBPLcuqX
I looked down and saw blue boat shaped figures surrounding my countries connection to the ocean. Glad I wasn't there right now.514Please respect copyright.PENANABIj2qXsxsV
514Please respect copyright.PENANAz6vfo4xVqj
"Mr. Assassin," the prince said looking up at where I was, "how long are you going to listen in on this?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAbwRPxEXytI
514Please respect copyright.PENANAVHH522Ou1l
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?514Please respect copyright.PENANADXDcoWUyB3
514Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ephfj1DRp
"Mr. Assassin," he said, "please make this easy and just give up."514Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Y6yJ865v
514Please respect copyright.PENANAzwtTsrz9dv
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAH0KtV5cHyW
514Please respect copyright.PENANA5ICCkcveEd
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAIJHX9nfxzU
514Please respect copyright.PENANARp8E8RVz24
"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."514Please respect copyright.PENANAgcq1B8ilNO
514Please respect copyright.PENANAjrVYzTzwKM
"I'm not here to listen to your war plans," I said.514Please respect copyright.PENANACUsfUkG0df
514Please respect copyright.PENANA9xZdJwNRce
They looked at me. They all seemed quite surprised by my voice. Apparently it was higher than they thought it would be.514Please respect copyright.PENANAlHSOE956Bz
514Please respect copyright.PENANAZFaG6T5VvW
"Umm Nao," the prince, "could you take our assassins hood off?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAYt9fq5MRzI
514Please respect copyright.PENANADf4KVW0ImS
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAbnD4fd0sxY
514Please respect copyright.PENANAJc7sZsAAjQ
Everyone in the room, no matter how professional they may seem, lost their composure for a second after seeing a girl assassin.514Please respect copyright.PENANA7pCw3xbqm9
514Please respect copyright.PENANAYizrdzBDMW
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA3PV1rEHIca
514Please respect copyright.PENANAPxHpXAp38r
"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?"514Please respect copyright.PENANArqSymnDrcw
514Please respect copyright.PENANAEbpchK3fTH
I nodded.514Please respect copyright.PENANAFGa5lvzS5e
514Please respect copyright.PENANAJgObCYWc9r
"That's what I thought," he said. "Nao, could you please bring her to the dungeon?"514Please respect copyright.PENANALvpzvTGFd3
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfok8eOA0Rl
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANApn3852CA0e
514Please respect copyright.PENANADg4abPlJnj
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?514Please respect copyright.PENANAoucLM0s3mQ
514Please respect copyright.PENANAHT1lxnrY2h
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAszN2nwqt7o
514Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nuu0EX3gm
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAEOh93oa4dI
514Please respect copyright.PENANAIyva1t3JFn
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAHcao35PB0m
