"Do you remember your mission Kira?" Boss asked me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfvo69vNsg
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUqmF5VQl
"Yes," I replied. "Kill the prince and anyone who sees."438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXvkSIyUb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIobIaRvBcP
"Good. Do you have your weapons?"438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjQIKze2n3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRTcrHQjIv
I felt the throwing knifes strapped to my waist and made sure my special sword was strapped to my back.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasZmTNJ38D
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0jibWYL2a
"Yes."438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwyzJWuM9M
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLxFBdFkO8
"Good. Remember, when you kill him, try to make sure that no one's watching. If anyone sees, kill on sight. Do you understand?"438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC8gJLsthO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOy8xrF6Vu
"Yes."438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDY0bi7jnN

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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnV7rjFMu3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL9K6sbxdM
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ337lu3sGA6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmAVnCMw3H
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxZldK5eCU

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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt0lbGjnAO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkmJckaKUC
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5xUgwtt7S
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE1Y60UXpJ
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDZcQ2DEu6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXvbOD5cb9
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwAmawXtxZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAlvJsD6Ek
"...attack the city and try to minimize casualties," I heard the prince say.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBwiUlFsRi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6YWqQ4ZEl
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEDGnZEe6s
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj367eiJ2K
I looked down and saw blue boat shaped figures surrounding my countries connection to the ocean. Glad I wasn't there right now.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Cc1NSR2H
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRP0L13BU6
"Mr. Assassin," the prince said looking up at where I was, "how long are you going to listen in on this?"438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaqx5GcLqb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnMbq7JjzT
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?438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTH4fuMXhk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PkrnuABMt
"Mr. Assassin," he said, "please make this easy and just give up."438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXPQsomupB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyltIlXyKJA
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ4r46SlGn
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPF5PZSBZe
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR61ryNDi4S
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9nQJxSEMv
"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."438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX1dN0qMYc
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpYPGtJ09R
"I'm not here to listen to your war plans," I said.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMREiLuBRn
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Ns2dLe7L
They looked at me. They all seemed quite surprised by my voice. Apparently it was higher than they thought it would be.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMMSo5TvtP
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWeyxMP7Ik
"Umm Nao," the prince, "could you take our assassins hood off?"438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsyL1gIxpp
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6raAheOi5b
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxS94ngK5v
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGppo367HEH
Everyone in the room, no matter how professional they may seem, lost their composure for a second after seeing a girl assassin.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8g69fcH2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTa5S3KGqK
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTDFHpqvVH
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1N31XxyYq
"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?"438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSOFofCtIM
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJB5BmnxP0
I nodded.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdAb5p7Uy
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd6zvexyG3
"That's what I thought," he said. "Nao, could you please bring her to the dungeon?"438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmguS1uvF57
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLFvnjPhiy
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqRauVia7Z
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxbc1nJTnK
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?438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzamf75TYNO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ2AprMRzC
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdE3BFLBgO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrwjwvYAU
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69w3PsSrMS
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrwntt74BI
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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPD5aaJfLv
