AU. A women-minded male by the days, and an assassin by night, that is the Kurosaki Ichigo. An assassin looking for freedom.

"Dead," Ichigo sighed, calmly wiping his hands off onto his dark jeans.

Twelve years old, and his first kill.

He was a slave. He doesn't need anything. Only strength.

Why couldn't he have died with the rest of his family six years later?

Why did he have to be the lone survivor?

Oh, that's right.

"Ichigo?" Mugetsu, the male who had bought him with the clan leader, looked at him in utter shock.

"Mugetsu..." Ichigo blinked, chocolate brown eyes staring at the dead body, and then at Mugetsu, faintly noticing the rain pouring down in their place in the alley-way, "He's dead."

"You killed him," the soft gasp escaped the eleven year-old.

A nod between the orange-head, and he looked up, a forced smile on his face, "Let's go home."

Mugetsu looked at his superior, and then looked at the dead body.

It was a first case for both of them, kill the leader of the 'Birds', the underground gang, and the clan would be given money.

They weren't assigned, Ichigo just calmly took the mission, and Mugetsu was just the first person to find him.

"Contact the others, the mission is done," the eyes melted him, from the moment they met to now, and probably the future.

If both of them live to see it.

"Mugetsu?"

The male nodded, flipping out his phone and contacted the clan, "M-Saigo here. Kuroki has carried out the plan. The Birds leader is dead." The voice seemed almost monotoned.

"...Understood, come back to headquarters." The husky voice belonged to their over-seer for their mission.

Their clan was small, and unknown to majority to the public. More infamous than famous, they're often known as the Moon's Hope.

As most of their names (code-names) continue off that strand of thought. Like Mugetsu (Saigo = Last), being the youngest of this generation, and Ichigo (Kuroki = Black hope) who was the oldest killer there. They belonged to their small, but well-known and are the most infamous assassin group out there.

There wasn't a single mission they have failed.

That's how good they were.

"King!" waiting for them outside the dojo, their base, was Tensho Shirosaki, a white haired male that was adopted into the family when Ichigo almost killed him. Twice.

Yet, he showed mercy by taking him in.

No one really regretted it after White Hope (Shiroki) showed his loyalty and worth. Even if it was only to Ichigo...

But it wasn't like Shirosaki was as good as his twin, Tensho Getsuga (Heaven Slicing Moon), who is a genius hacker, with the second youngest in the group, Saigo Tensai (Heaven Chain). The two of them will find anything and everything from bombs to personal information usually under five minutes. And although Getsuga had very long, silver hair, and Shirosaki kept his short, the two were very, very different.

Then, the last member of the group, Saigo Zangetsu (Slaying Moon), the quiet, calm, and mature sniper of the group.

"Failure is an option. It means, roll in a corner and die," the soft smile on Ichigo's face scared the other members. There are somethings in this world that you just can't get used to.

Killing not being one of them.


A/N: That's a taste of it. I may/may not continue this.
