Hello…Mistress Sona here…Um, so I was originally XxZoruaTheEpicxX. I've been bored lately so I've decided to start writing again and wanted to start a clean slate so I deleted my stories and changed my name. I'm not that good at writing, but I will try my best. So please, enjoy! ~ Mistress Sona

Chapter 1- Introductions

She sighed and brushed her petite fingers through her pristine white hair, making it flash silver in the moonlight. Intelligent gold eyes blinked through the darkness as the long-haired girl crept through the darkness.

"Est…Hunt!" ordered the girl.

Rustling through the brush had alerted the unsuspecting prey and it now looked around with weary eyes, tired from running away.

The "prey" turning around to the sound of steps, petrified by fear, was mere inches from the gaping jaws of a silent beast.

Having heard the snap of a neck and a satisfied snort, Kana gracefully walked to her companion, Est, and picked the beaten body up, stuffing it into a sack.

"Good work," she praised him and swiftly hopped onto Est's back, "Let's go back home…"

Est grunted in response and began to run through the forest, his pelt a silver streak through the dark shadows. Many sprites and fairies came out to watch the dire wolf retreat to the city of hunters, Vandead Karnival.

Slowing down to a stop, Est barked in front of the towering gates of the city.

"Alright, alright! I got it, you mangy mutt!" a man voiced out, turning a lever and opening the gates to the pair.

Kana narrowed her eyes in response to the gatekeeper's insults, but Est kept moving, a snarl barely held back as his lips curved into a feral grin. She stayed silent and flipped her hood up, as Est had given her the signal by moving on. At a time like this, she would've liked to retort back with a snarky comment, but it wouldn't have bode well for her name. She was known as the "Silencer", for being an extremely stealthy bounty hunter that assassinated quickly. Yes, she was a bounty hunter, one that hunted humans AND monsters.

Unfortunately, the Silencer was well known throughout the city and many sought out the identity of this unknown hunter. The only leads they ever had on them were that it was a man with a dire wolf of silver. Nobody believed that such a powerful bounty hunter was a girl!

As Kana and Est traversed through the city, some onlookers could only gape at the massive wolf on the rooftops and were astonished at how the heck someone was riding it. She hated going through the city because it always ended badly and that somebody wou-

" KYAAAAAAA! It's the SILENCER!" a tourist called out.

"What?.. Where?" bystanders chorused out.

Kana was already tired from tracking this particular gargoyle, she had to wait a month for it to come out of hiding and now some stupid tourist couldn't keep their mouth shut. Sighing, she looked into Est's blue eyes with a defeated look and he understood.

Est crouched onto his haunches and sprung out of the shadows, soaring over the heads of the people. Kana was cautious and hugged her hood to her head. Est enjoyed the surprised looks of awe and basked in the moonlight, the wind whipping through his fur. The wolf bounced between roofs and finally arrived at their destination.

"Thanks Est," Kana was grateful to her friend and looked at the pristine wood building and then glanced at the sign, SAKAMAKI GUILD, "Stay here, I'll be back soon…"

Est whined and sat near the dark burgundy door, waiting for his white haired partner.

Kana hauled the sack off his back and pushed open the intricate doors.

CRASH!

She mentally groaned and only tightened her hood. Walking through the drunken patrons, she reached a wide marble stairway that curved up to booths that held bounty clerks. Her eyes sought through the crowd for the two men she obviously knew were the source of the broken window.

Eyes scanning the crowd until she saw another familiar face, one that she didn't want to see…And it looks like that face seems to already be heading towards her.

"Silencer, what brings you to this fine establishment tonight? Is it the need for my love," Kana's hand "slips" and she shows off an exotic silver knife, "Ara ara, so it's a bounty then? Aww, I wanted to get to know you more though, mister Si-len-cer~"

Kana wants to scoff in disgust but holds it in as Laito chuckles mischievously and points her into the right direction, and then goes off to seduce the pretty woman he saw earlier.

Walking up the stairs and to the nearest booth, Kana meets Reiji and both parties don't look very happy. Well one, the other one nobody knows because their face is concealed.

"Lowlife, state your business," Reiji was not in the mood to be greeting a Silencer wannabe after the stunt Ayato and Subaru just pulled, "If you are just lowly food in a disguise…I will not hesitate to punish you…"

Kana nearly snorted at the sadistic tone Reiji was using and placed the sack on top of the counter with a muffled thump. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out a flyer.

Reiji, realizing it the impostor was not an impostor, huffed in annoyance that he couldn't vent and began taking out the sum needed to the Silencer.

Woken up by the window breaking, Shu sat up from one of the many plush couches in the place and immediately walked to the culprits. His steps were light and quick, his earphones now out. Kana followed his figure to two bodies sprawled onto the floor; nostalgic red hair coming into her vision and she merely gazed at the two siblings as they argued.

Suddenly, white hair came into her vision and she instinctively walked back. Subaru recovered from his accident and saw the mysterious Silencer looking over. Using inhuman speed, he now stood in front of said person.

"Che, what are you looking at? Stop staring, runt." Subaru pushed through and went to the upper personal quarters, slamming the door in the process.

Kana was not amused and grabbed her money, wanting to get out of the place before any more headaches showed up. She was about to walk through the door, to freedom when a hand stopped her.

"Oi, you in the cloak, who are you? Why do you always wear that cloak?" Ayato demanded, he had stalked off after Shu had reprimanded him and he was not in a good mood.

Kana's arm twitched and she wished to slit the guys throat with her silver knives. Calming herself down and assessing the situation, she ducked under Ayato's arm and walked through the doors to Est.

"Est, hurry! Home…Please.." she sighed out and swung herself onto his back, forgetting to secure her hood.

"Oi! Did you just ignore me?!" Ayato yelled and burst out from the doors to see the figure on their silver steed.

Ayato stared at the fleeing hunter and could make out the smallest hint of silver tresses; they had broken free from the confines of the Silencer's hood and glinted in the moonlight.

"Silver, huh? I'll find out who you are!" Ayato said to no one in particular, but 5 pairs of ears had heard his declaration.

"Ne…Ayato who are you talking about? Is it the…Silencer?" Kanato gleefully says, Ayato only turns to him with a smirk.

Kanato holds Teddy closer and smiles creepily.

Kana's Home

Kana jumps off Est as he descends to a secluded little island.

The island itself had a large tree and was surrounded by a crystal clear lake. The tree was a silvery willow and the leaves were different shades of blue. The lake contained many varieties of marine life and mermaids tended to linger here before reverting back to humans during their journeys through the forests of Karnival. Lots of the local wildlife enjoyed resting near the banks of the lake and could only look upon the island. Nothing dared to roam the island and expect to live so they usually stayed near the shore, away from the little landmass in the lake. It's not like they could reach it anyway.

Kana waved her arm and a once hidden tree house could now be seen. She smiled faintly and dropped her hood; white hair cascaded down her back to reach her waist. Est walked beside Kana, towards an area that had been cleared and was void of any furnishings, not to mention there was a hole in the roof to allow light to drift into that spot.

Allowing herself to audibly sigh in relief, Kana plopped onto a simple white bed and laid there, eyes drooping and sleep overtaking her mind.

Est came back and shrunk to the size of a husky and laid beside the girl, content with his spot, he drifted off as well.

Well, I'm done… Is it okay? Is it bad? Please tell me any anything you would like me to add or take out. I've watched this anime before and my friend is really obsessed with it. I'll try to update regularly and will accept any help from anyone. I appreciate the people reading this. Thank you for reading. ~ Mistress Sona
