Desmond had been so excited to get on that plane. He'd done more traveling in the past few months than he'd done in his entire life. Europe and now Japan? Unbelievable. He'd always wanted to try sushi from there. Not just the stuff you got at the 'Japanese' restaurants in America. And to top it off, he was going to get to go with his best friends, and with his new Assassin buddies.

And just as they were about to leave, just as that pilot was about to close that door, she had to walk in. He'd known her since he was a kid. It felt like millions of years ago. And when he went to Abstergo was when he lost contact. But when he'd left ( or been taken is a better way to put it) they hadn't been on the best of terms. He expected it would stay that way. But, here she was, grinning at him like nothing happened.

His main question was: How did she know Lucy?

Erudito looked between the three confused, " How do you know each other, Elyse?" he asked.

" Childhood friend." Elyse answered, smiling at Desmond…a little too flirtatiously for Lucy's liking. She wasn't usually the jealous type, but you could tell she didn't like this girl, and so, she moved closer to Desmond wrapping her arms around Desmond's waist. A sign of ownership. Elyse raised an eyebrow in response, but gave no further acknowledgement of her actions.

Desmond nodded, confirming what she said. " I'm not tryin' to be rude. But why are you here?" he asked bluntly. So his previous warning was a little irrelevant...

Elyse shrugged, not phased by Desmond's tone. " Well, Erudito invited me." she said smiling over at him, and he winked back. Oo, did he like her? Desmond knew that was a lost cause though. Elyse was too much of a flirt. But, it worked for her.

Desmond might not like her at the moment, but she was attractive for sure. She had dark brown hair, that was just about as long as Lucy's when she let it down, maybe longer. It went perfectly with her big bright hazel eyes, and those eyes contrasted well with her olive skin. And as for her body? Well, she had rockin' curves but it didn't compare to Lucy in Desmond's eyes. He wasn't sure she was positive about that fact though.

" He said you were going to Japan, and I doubt any of you know any Japanese. Am I right?" she asked, and everyone nodded. " See? Don't worry, I have a reason to be here, Dezzy-kins." she added and Desmond couldn't help but roll his eyes. He knew he hated it when she called him that.

" Dezzy-kins?" Lucy whispered, looking up at him. She stifled a laugh and he could tell as her face turned red. She coughed to make it seem like she didn't think it was funny after seeing his expression say serious.

" Well, nice reunion. But I want to get off this bloody plane, Elyse. So, if you could take a seat, that'd be lovely." Shaun said from his spot at the back of the plane. Rebecca punched him in the shoulder. " OW. What the hell was that for?

" Stop being mean." Rebecca replied and Shaun replied with an eye roll. She gave him a look, and he finally sighed and nodded.

" I mean, Elyse, could you please take a seat so we can get on our way?" Shaun said, redoing his sentence. He looked over to Rebecca for her approval, and she nodded smiling.

" Sure thing." Elyse replied happily and took the first open seat she saw, winking at Desmond before she sat down. There was a slightly audible growl from Lucy but only Desmond could hear it. It was his turn to stifle a laugh.

Desmond and Lucy had reserved the window seat and sat down there. It was considerably far from Elyse, much to Lucy's delight.

Like Shaun, she happened to hate flying. It made her queasy. So, she moved the armrest that was between herself and Desmond and rested her head in his lap. He put his hands on her waist and rested it there.

After a while, everyone was sleeping. Snores were heard throughout the plane. he decided he wanted to take a nap too. He shut his eyes letting himself relax, only to be interrupted.

" Hey, Dezzy, are you sleeping?" Elyse whispered. Shit. He thought everyone was asleep. Of course she would be the only one.

He didn't respond, trying to give her a hint. He groaned hearing the leather from the chair in front of him squeak, signaling Elyse had taken it upon herself to sit down.

Damnit.

" Dezzyyyy."

Ohmygod. Leave me aloneee! Desmond thought.

" Dezzzyyyyyy!"

" WHAT?" Desmond said loudly his eyes flying open. He looked around quickly to see if he'd accidentally woke anyone up. But surprisingly, not even Lucy woke up, she just stirred a bit.

" Geez. I just wanted to say hi. No need to yell." Elyse said, crossing her arms.

" Alright. Well. Hi." Desmond said and closed his eyes again, " And bye."

" Dezzyyy." she whined.

If she calls me dezzy, one more fucking time, I'm gonna smack the living shit outta her… Desmond thought.

His eyes still closed he said, " Elyse. What. Do. You. Want?"

" To talk?" Elyse answered. " C'mon, don't tell me you don't wanna know what's going on? We haven't seen each other in months."

" I know…" And now I really wish it was a few more months. You're already getting on my nerves, he said to himself. "…well, what's going on with you?"

" Nothing." Elyse said, he could hear the smile in her voice. He mentally face palmed himself " What about you? Got a new girlfriend I see." she added, but he did hear the smile fade slightly.

" More like a new wife." Desmond answered. He could've sworn he heard a snicker coming from Lucy, but maybe he was imagining things.

" Oh…that's nice." Elyse replied, but it was obvious she thought it was anything but nice. " For how long?"

" Since yesterday." Desmond answered. One worded questions were sounding like his thing right about now. He wanted to sleep and she kept pestering him.

" Oh. Cool."

" Yeaaaah." Desmond said, " Well, nice chat. See ya." he said, ending the conversation. He snuggled a little more into his seat. But she didn't go away. He just heard her lay back in her seat.

It stayed quiet until he fell asleep himself, or so she thought.

" Hey, Desmond. You up?"

Not as far as your concerned… Desmond thought to himself and stayed quiet, putting on a little bit of a snore to create the full effect.

" Good. Well, I just wanted to say…I'm sorry. For what I did." Elyse said sincerely. Desmond mentally sighed, knowing exactly what she was talking about. " I would take it back if I could Dezzy." Then she stood and walked away.

Many hours later…

Lucy stood behind Desmond to get off the plane. As she walked down a few steps, she saw a rather odd sight in front of him. Shaun was on the ground. At first she thought something was wrong with him, and she instantly got worried. But then she realized he was kissing the floor.

" Oh, thank god." Shaun said, " I'd never thought I'd miss the ground so much in my life."

" Ew, shaun. The floor is dirty." Lucy said, shaking her head at him.

" I'm aware of that, thanks." Shaun said, standing up and brushing his sweater vest off.

William and Erudito got of the plane last, and there were words exchanged with the pilot before he started helping all of them with their luggage. All of the Assassin's walked into the terminal, and were greeted by a man and a women in black suits. Desmond laughed to himself taking in their resemblance to the men in black, with their fancy little sunglasses on.

"Kon'nichiwa." The man said, judging by the accent and the looks, they were both natives of the country. " I'm Aiko, and this is Haruna." he said, nodding to the woman standing beside him. They both looked like they could possibly be related, but he could probably tell more after they took their sunglasses. But just from a glance, the difference was great. Aiko was a big guy, about 6"5 at least and looked like he spent way more time in the gym than Desmond ever did, and Haruna was rather small. Looked like she just barely hit 5"2, but she was pretty limber and looked like she could kick some ass.

" Welcome to Japan." Haruna smiled warmly, " We know you weren't really expecting us to be here," which they weren't. " but we dig some digging and found out about your quest. We want to help. And since we know a bit more than you do…"

" We can make the trip much faster." Aiko said. Des couldn't see his eyes but he assumed that he was looking at the line of Assassin's before him, waiting for them to accept the offer.

William was the one to speak. " Sure. We loved to have you. But how do we know-."

Aiko rolled up his sleeve revealing a hidden blade with the Assassin symbol melded into it and Haruna did the same, except it was a different color. Bronze, instead of silver like Aiko.

" Is that any clue?" Aiko asked, a slight smile painted across his face.

William shrugged, " I guess so." he nodded curtly.

" Then, if you would follow us, we'll happily lead you to our base here in Nara and you all can settle in." Haruna said, smiling again. She seemed rather excited. She turned around on her heel, and Aiko followed without looking back. The Assassin's exchanged looks between each other before jogging after them.

The terminal was nice, considering it was in the middle of nowhere. It was practically empty, but looked like it once was the only airport. There were tons of empty shops scattered around, but the looked like they'd been abandoned for ages.

Everything was going well and everyone entertained themselves with small talk until Haruna stopped talking suddenly.

" Shhh!" She said quietly, and everyone went silent. At first, Desmond didn't hear a thing, but then he heard footsteps. A hell of a lot of them.

He triggered eagle vision, to see if maybe they were on their side. But he had no such luck. Not too far in front of them he saw a bright red glow. And another bright red glow scattered across his peripheral vision.

Grabbing their bags, the Assassins huddled against the wall and waited, thinking maybe the intruders would just pass on by. When it seemed they did and everything was silent again, Desmond offered to check it out.

Lucy grabbed his arm, " Desmond, just let Aiko or Haruna do it." she tried to convince him. She didn't want him getting hurt. They did just get here after all.

" No. I got this." desmond said confidently. " Don't worry about it." he said, freeing his arm of her grip after kissing her hand gently.

He tiptoed around the corner, Eagle Vision on, and just as he walked a few steps away from cover, crouched close to the ground; that's when it hit him. Literally.

He felt a little needle enter his neck, and he fell out on the floor, the thump of his body echoing through the 'empty' space. He snatched it out after hitting the floor and held up the now empty mini syringe above him.

" Damnit." he mumbled as the world began to spin.

Awwwwww, shit!
