Please enjoy the first chapter. ~ Sera
The little girl cowered in the corner, holding her knees tightly to herself as the fire crept closer, screams getting softer as the roar of the fire filled her ears. Tears started pouring from her eyes as the smoke burned them, the sound of wood breaking on the other side of the room quickly followed by a rush of air, pushing the blaze higher and hotter. The tiny girl passed out, falling dangerously close to the fire. A tall man in a dark cloak stepped easily through the fire, picking up the girl as easily as a child would pick up a feather. He smirked down at her, brushing a strand of blonde hair out of her face, it'd be almost a shame to waste such a cute little girl, but he was being paid to bring her in, not to care. He moved quickly through the flames as they consumed the house. He wrapped his cloak around the girl to pull out a small watch-looking apparatus and pressed a button, teleporting to the Master's laboratory. He felt a pang of guilt at what he was doing, glancing at the thing covered by the sheet. He laid the girl down on a cold surgery table, jumping slightly at the sudden icy glare at his neck.
"Here's the money you requested for the job, Mr. Robin," said an indescribably creepy voice at Robin's back. He turned around and saw the darkness as a small bullet buried itself in his chest, pain flooding his senses.
"Wha..what?" he managed to get out as he sank to the floor.
"You already know too much and are a liability, a loose end, per say." The man laughed softly, lowering himself to look Robin in the eyes, "Loose ends must be tied up, you see." He smiled easily, moving the small gun to Robin's head. "I hope you tell your god that Nobunaga sends his regards." Nobunaga pulled the trigger slowly, enjoying the look of shock and pain in Robin's eyes. Nobunaga walked over to the little girl, opening a file. "Mitsuhide, Mirai, age six," he looked over her fragile looking body, "You are going to be my servant, and my key to the world," he spoke to himself, grasping the sheet and pulling it off quickly, a glint in his eyes as the body was revealed. It was one of his most amazing bodies yet.
What appeared to be the body of a young woman in her late teens was revealed; it had the perfect balance of beauty and mystery in the features to draw anyone's eye. There were also hidden weapon systems in the body, which could be used at will, and he had even taken the time to put in a nervous system so the user could feel like everyone else. Nobunaga glided his finger down the body's face, his eyes softening slightly. "I know you won't be the same, my sweet, but I won't let you die again." he rested his forehead on that of the body.
He turned around and pressed a button on his watch, a doctor appearing next to him. The man lowered himself to his knees, "What do you desire, Master Oda?" he said.
"You are going to have a little sister, Doctor Sirah. See to it that this child is taken care of." calmly answered Nobunaga. Doctor Sirah nodded, smiling weakly to himself. Another sister? It was beyond him why his master was doing such things, but he couldn't go against him. Nobunaga walked past him to the stairs, climbing them quickly and easily. Doctor Sirah rose and looked at the little girl, his heart stopping for a moment. A girl this young? She's not going to be ready for what is ahead, but I will do my best to help her. Doctor Sirah shook his head and walked over to his tools, getting to work. Dear child, you will never live a normal life and I apologize for that, but I must obey my orders, and soon you will too.
