+ Kuroro's Weakness +
+ Chapter 01 +
+ An Incomparable Bond +
She's almost out of breathing... Sweat was all over her face and body, as well as dirt and mud... The 10-year-old girl kept on running, though she didn't know where to go... All she cares about was to flee... Away from the people who wanted to kill her... Shadows ambushed her from the front, and then everything turned into an endless, ebony maze...

Mitara abruptly got off from bed while heavily panting. Her eyes were wide and there's bead of sweats all over her face.
That nightmare again? Dammit! She muttered to herself as she clasped her own face. When will I ever get over with that?
The now 16 year old kid didn't move for a moment as she tries to recollect herself. Then she sighed heavily. She got off from the bed and went near the glass window. She opened the windows and gazed over the midnight skies, feeling the coolness of the midnight air.
"That thing again?" a monotone voice asked from somewhere.
"Yeah," Mitara answered weakly.
"Until now? How ironic..." the voice commented stoically.
"I don't know," she shrugged. "That's so stupid, you know."
"It's been six years."
"Yeah..." Mitara sighed weakly.
"Don't tell me you'll cry?" the voice asked mockingly.
"Kuso! No, I won't!" Mitara exclaimed in grimace.
"Then, don't give me that look." The 20 year old Illumi Zaoldick stepped out of the shadows of the tree leaves. He's standing on one of the branches of the tree nearest to Mitara's room.
Mitara sighed once again. "Anyways, why are you here?" she asked while she kept her arms in front of her chest.
"Why bother to ask? I used to do this, you know?" Illumi casually said as he leaped towards Mitara's windows.
"You'll sleep here again?" Mitara sounds like more confirming than asking.
"If you don't mind," Illumi asked as he entered the room from the window. He's wearing his white pajamas and white undershirt.
"Suit yourself," Mitara answered as she closed the windows.
Illumi proceeded towards her bed and laid himself on it. He even stretched his arms wide as he let out a big yawn.
"You know what, I missed sleeping here. I'd been away for a week," he said.
"So, you just came from work?" Mitara asked as she sat on the bed beside Illumi.
"Yeah. I have so many loads."
"As usual."
"By the way, don't forget about tomorrow."
Mitara's eyebrows collided. "What's that?"
"Tomorrow, we'll go in Florissant. You'll come with me," Illumi reminded her about his next job.
"Ah, yeah."
"Come on, let's sleep," Illumi threw a pillow at her.
"Kuso," she said as she caught her pillow, and then she lay on the bed beside Illumi.
"Oyasumi nasai," Illumi said as he closed his eyes to sleep.
"Oyasumi," Mitara replied. But it seems like sleeping is not in her to-do list at the moment. She was occupied with her thoughts about her life.

It has been six years since that nightmare happened. That night that she was almost got killed. Fortunately for her, Illumi found her drifting onto the sea shore when she found an escape through the river.
The 12-year-old assassin brought her to their mansion in Kukulu Mt, and helped her recuperate. But when Illumi's father found out that his eldest son is taking care of a girl in the vast end of Kukulu Mt, she was nearly sent away.
Illumi made a proposal to his father that she will stay in the manor; in return, she will be one of their assassins. Silva Zaoldick agreed when Illumi added that he will be under his father's strict and direct orders as long as he lives.
Then, trainings to be an assassin proceeded. At the age of seven, Mitara was taught to become one of the Zaoldick assassins. Everything that she must learn was taught by Illumi, Silva and Zeno Zaoldick.
She was assigned on her first job after four years of trainings and she did it very well. Since then, she became one of the most reliable assassins of the Zaoldicks.
It has been six years... My life turned upside down since then... Mitara muttered to herself as she sighed, then she gazed at Illumi whose now silently sleeping like dead beside her. I owe you my life, Illumi. Then, she looked at the ceiling, still thinking. I wonder what happened to Mariko... She kept on thinking over the things as she dozed off to sleep.
