Hey everybody. I know, I know. I haven't been the best with keeping up my other stories, but it seems as though I've almost given up on some of the other stories (Namely Angel In The Surf and Bella's Pokemon Battles). To be honest, they were just stories I would work on if I could.

Anyway, I love Assassin's Creed and been wanting to do a story for some time. I have this chapter ready and I'm working on the second now.

Hope you all enjoy, I don't own anything Assassin's Creed, but God I wish I did!

Enjoy! And thank you love for being my beta, hope to see you soon.

It had to be the hottest day in history! Even under the light and cooled fabric of his hood and robes that covered the muscular body, the Florentine Eagle thought he was going to melt into the cobblestones of the back alleys. Pulling down his hood, the assassin ran a hand over his face in hopes of removing the sweat building up on his forehead.

What had possessed God or whoever to create this hellish heat? With a growl, Ezio Auditore pulled up his hood to create shadow to shield his face from the gleaming sun. He had no idea what to do about this heat, especially since it was making his head feel fuzzy.

A slow smirk came to the man's handsome face as he caught sight of a group of courtesans that were standing not too far off. Maybe he should pay his younger sister and mother a visit at the brothel they run. And maybe the ladies can help him cool down.

With the new goal in mind, Ezio set out towards the brothel building. Thankfully the contract he had just finished wasn't too far from the building. Slowly, he made his way through the thick crowds of people. Carefully maneuvering his way through the crowd, he made sure that the guards that were still on high alert didn't see him.

When he finally saw the red rose colored building, a smile couldn't help but form onto his lips. Finally, he could get some relief. Upon entering, the strong scent of roses and perfume attacked his sense of smell. Looking around, he didn't see his mother or sister.

"Excuse me, but where is my mother?" Ezio asked a passing courtesan. She smiled.

"Miss Maria and Miss Claudia are out doing some errands. Funny, you're the second person to ask for them," the blonde haired women hummed to herself.

"Second? Who was the first?" Ezio was curious to the answer.

"That gentleman right over there. The others really seem to love him," she smiled, pointing over to one of the couches by the walls. He looked over and noticed that there was a large crowd of courtesans giggling around one person.

His eyes narrowed slightly at the boy. He didn't look like anything special, why were the ladies interested in him?

"Grazie," Ezio murmured and turned to look at the boy. She nodded and left, joining the group of girls around the boy. Ezio kept his distance, but did listen in.

"Leo! You are so sweet!" one of the girls gushed out happily. The boy smiled and the girls seemed to swoon. Ezio could tell they weren't acting.

"Leo, why do you give us such beautiful compliments?" another asked, leaning in closer. The boy, Leo apparently, looked up at the woman into her eyes and stroked her cheek.

"I give no compliments, but only mere truths. All you ladies are beautiful and I would love nothing more than you all to be blissfully happy," Leo purred out comfortingly.

The girls blushed and smiled, which floored Ezio. In all his years, he had never known a courtesan to blush. Who is this kid?

"However, I have to get going. I will come back when Maria and Claudia are available. Until then, my darlings," Leo said as he stood from the couch. The girls cried out unhappily. "Now, now don't be like that. I'm staying in Roma for a few months so that I can go over some business with one of my partners. And while I do that, I'll be sure to visit often," he said as he swept from the building.

However, Ezio was curious about the young man that was leaving. Something didn't feel right about him and Ezio will get to the bottom of it.

He knew that no one else had seen him except that one courtesan. He slipped out of the back door unnoticed and quickly climbed up the building's side. Tapping into the inherited sense from the assassins, he used his Eagle Vision to look for his target in gold. He found the boy to be moving unnoticed through crowds of people.

Ezio's eyebrows knitted together in confusion as he watched how the kid moved. He didn't move like a normal person, he moved in a way that he was very familiar with... This child moved like an assassin.

The already peaked curiousity rose even further. He knew that there were assassins beside those in Italy, but he hasn't met any before. Hell, he wasn't even sure that this boy was an assassin.

He quickly began to make his way over the rooftops, following the boy. He was going at a fast pace, though that seemed to stop when he got to a dark alley. Ezio watched as the boy stopped completely and looked into the alley. Cries could be heard from a woman.

Ezio hurried to climb down but as his feet touched the ground, he heard the boy speak. Well, he didn't so much speak as he did growl in anger.

"Let her go, you filthy pig!" he growled. Looking into the alley, Ezio could see the boy facing a large man who had a woman held hostage by her wrist.

Dammit, what is that kid doing? He could get killed! Ezio growled in his head as he slid his hidden blade from his wrist brace.

"And who's going to make me, pipsqueak? You?" the man laughed and pulled the woman closer. She was crying out.

"Yes, me!" With that, the boy launched from his feet into the air and landed a well-aimed kick to the man's bullish head.

Ezio froze as he watched the man reach up and clutch his head in pain, which meant that he let the woman go. Without missing a beat, the boy slipped something into the man's neck which made him collapse and pulled the woman away from any more harm.

"Are you alright?" Leo asked, concern clear in his voice. The woman nodded and bowed her head.

"Thank you, I-I know what that man wanted from me. Thank you for stopping him," she stuttered out, obviously shaken.

Leo smiled. "I will always help in any way I can." With that, the woman left with one last thank you and hurried away. Leo stood there for a moment to make sure she was completely gone before turning to the fallen man.

An ugly sneer crossed his face as he kneeled next down to the large mass. "Unforgivable. Try to take a woman against her will. I will be sure that you never try that again," Leo growled as he pulled out the sleep dart and threw it far off, since it was useless now.

Ezio inched closer to watch what he was doing and watched as Leo threw away a small object. A silver glint flashed at the wrist of the boy and he watched in horror as he sliced the man's throat apart. He never would have thought that a boy like him would be able to kill.

Leo stood up and flicked his wrist to clear the blade of blood before slipping it back into the brace hidden on his wrist. He knew that Ezio was there, he knew that he was being followed. Kind of hard to miss a white robed figure against the red colors of the buildings.

Fixing the hat Leo was using to hide his hair, he turned to face to Florentine Eagle. "Alright, enough of this game. Come out now Ezio Auditore," he commanded.

Ezio slowly entered the alley, making sure to keep his distance from the obviously dangerous man.

Leo watched as the elder man comes closer. He understood that the assassin was curious about him, that or the assassin was actually afraid. Wouldn't be the first time it has happened.

"Perhaps now would be a nice time to explain to me why you are following me, yes?" Leo started, settling on an open and honest face instead of the usual glare that would be given in a situation like this normally.

Ezio was stunned into silence. He thought was being rather quiet.

"Well, perhaps now would be a nice to explain to me why you killed that man?" Ezio countered back, his arms folded, yet stiff. Leo could see that he was ready to attack at any moment.

"I honestly don't think that is any of your concern, Auditore. Especially since you have not answered my own question," Leo answered back smartly, his arms straight at his sides. "And if you are not going to answer my question, I might as well head home," Leo continued as he turned away and started to head down the alley.

Ezio's arms fell slack and to his sides as he watched the smaller lad walk away, carefully avoiding the dead body. Confusion racked through his head as the younger disappeared around a corner.

However, there wasn't much time to think about that. Especially since there was a loud yell in Italian behind him. Turning slowly around, he noticed a young man clad in the clothing of the guards pointing at him and yelling for more guards who came running.

With a groan, Ezio realized why the boy left. He heard the guards… And now Ezio is left with the guards to deal with…

"Assassino! Uccidetelo!"

So what do you think? Should I go ahead and continue with it?

Review please! See you all next time and I promise to have some of the other stories up and about soon enough. High school is a bitch for sure!
