Please protect the newly born peace.
-Opening from Noir, the anime
Jeri Kato typed away on her laptop in the small living room of her traditional Japanese home in Tokyo, Japan as she sipped morning tea. She swept back strands of her light brown hair as her hands took a break form typing, her golden eyes still on the glowing screen. She was twenty-one and worked as a freelance artist. Or that's what she told her peers that delved into her business.
I wonder if there is any mail for me, she thought as she accessed the inbox. She clicked and found what she was looking for: a new target and a location. A young girl most likely to be around the age of eighteen was shown the picture. She had striking dark violet eyes and thick shoulder length red hair. The message read, Come take a journey with me. Help me search for what I long for. Deciding to decline the contract, Jeri was about to delete the letter when a song slowly erupted from the download. Jeri's eyes widened frozen, she didn't breath.
"It can't be…"

Jeri waited patiently for the release bell of a high school in some other part of Tokyo. The bell echoed throughout the exiting students ears and Jeri's target came into view. She had thick red hair that cascaded to her shoulder blades and haunting violet eyes that paled blue, she wore a school uniform not unlike the other students. She walked in a tense manner, and Jeri pursued the red haired adolescent. Walking around corners silently, the young girl stopped and looked directly at the corner Jeri was hiding behind.
Jeri reached for the gun in her purse, "You are Rika Nonaka." Her tone was matter of fact.
The violet-eyed youth stared at the older woman, her eyes emotionless but in a way sad. "Yes. You are the most reliable assassin in the business, Juri Kant otherwise known as Noir. Or should I say Jeri Kato?" Her voice was soft, yet held the tone of someone lost.
Jeri gasped.
How does she know?…
