"Do you remember your mission Kira?" Boss asked me.497Please respect copyright.PENANAwdlYtN8Ozg
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9HY5vyn7V
"Yes," I replied. "Kill the prince and anyone who sees."497Please respect copyright.PENANAaoX5fBOWN0
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQfQEE35MSe
"Good. Do you have your weapons?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAhoEnPGf8be
497Please respect copyright.PENANADQ8KmMuLNK
I felt the throwing knifes strapped to my waist and made sure my special sword was strapped to my back.497Please respect copyright.PENANAR3ndpYWGIW
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtB7v5Wujdq
"Yes."497Please respect copyright.PENANAh3rc1WV5qd
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbzywubcw6J
"Good. Remember, when you kill him, try to make sure that no one's watching. If anyone sees, kill on sight. Do you understand?"497Please respect copyright.PENANA6r0qF7kNGY
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOwK5JzMGr6
"Yes."497Please respect copyright.PENANAst1Djw860K
497Please respect copyright.PENANA77BkcYjIYf
"Now be on your way."497Please respect copyright.PENANATe42YsucFc

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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAjZJiFIa3Ac
497Please respect copyright.PENANACFRESxibrq
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANALHtGvAYNFu
497Please respect copyright.PENANAn3DqWJr2P1
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAgb6cRPE6tQ
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxB9RvdsRnS
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAmrcSYeAhhk
497Please respect copyright.PENANADxheI9u2bL
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANApQ6FRopO2h
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcO0xF82Pgx
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAnStCY0TmXE
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2typyeeMON
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAB8PtdXOKSM
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1b9MUQQglx
"...attack the city and try to minimize casualties," I heard the prince say.497Please respect copyright.PENANAQBjSHe4VMo
497Please respect copyright.PENANARhv1qFeT79
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAHHfEJ8E9dL
497Please respect copyright.PENANABxVvqOtnCP
I looked down and saw blue boat shaped figures surrounding my countries connection to the ocean. Glad I wasn't there right now.497Please respect copyright.PENANAnEQZMp9xtm
497Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Oozq8ipH
"Mr. Assassin," the prince said looking up at where I was, "how long are you going to listen in on this?"497Please respect copyright.PENANApajxojt3go
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgXQEi27PQ7
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?497Please respect copyright.PENANAh27GtayAPf
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAmXWC7vNqX
"Mr. Assassin," he said, "please make this easy and just give up."497Please respect copyright.PENANAXfTZoJVy1M
497Please respect copyright.PENANANR0tjUVzBF
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANASYmVv9xg8C
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdBSA6Cdvus
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAmb1kqZtXP4
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2zY1zK29ta
"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."497Please respect copyright.PENANAPfFcppjeur
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbqJ1FVtbko
"I'm not here to listen to your war plans," I said.497Please respect copyright.PENANApgrlYHh8KN
497Please respect copyright.PENANAlT5Jr3rVNQ
They looked at me. They all seemed quite surprised by my voice. Apparently it was higher than they thought it would be.497Please respect copyright.PENANA1B9NzgLA0i
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUwwFtbMZGl
"Umm Nao," the prince, "could you take our assassins hood off?"497Please respect copyright.PENANArjYJzJHX6o
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7z0UsitrPn
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAqKgI7NLEjv
497Please respect copyright.PENANAp7vmuAqlGM
Everyone in the room, no matter how professional they may seem, lost their composure for a second after seeing a girl assassin.497Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuso2taPz
497Please respect copyright.PENANASeQSqBXoLL
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANA8ICB3Jrk2Z
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5IQZofUVMw
"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?"497Please respect copyright.PENANA1mxalJmW0j
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXg0RwqUk8I
I nodded.497Please respect copyright.PENANAuzOXK3I3aw
497Please respect copyright.PENANAogvHRGKxt9
"That's what I thought," he said. "Nao, could you please bring her to the dungeon?"497Please respect copyright.PENANANBpBKAXPBK
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAsS31cJvpt
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANALUgWS0GEhG
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcqQvTx9EDQ
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?497Please respect copyright.PENANA5pZqyhsRQi
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYGvXCRlopb
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAU55UHHuBMa
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOALHi9Of6L
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANARMPifaSP6b
497Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Y6GWdkLx
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANA05iXfLdunx
