Failed Assassin: Chapter 1
Notes: My first fanfiction, so, sorry if it is terrible. I hope to make it 9-10 short chapters long. I will try to get new chapters out soon so that this story will actually have a plot. This story takes place before the anime starts, I think. It will be about how Jafar got his scars. It diverges from canon a bit because I think he gets his scars before he meets Sinbad in the manga. However, for the purpose of this story, Jafar does not have his scars at the beginning of the fanfiction. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy.
It started out as just a normal day for Ja'far. He woke up early and prepared for the day. He took a walk around the Sindrian palace before he had to force Sin out of bed. The silver haired assassin allowed Sin to sleep in on most days because he was the king, of course. Sinbad had the luxury to rest for as long as he wanted. Ja'far, however, did not have that luxury. As the king's most trusted adviser, Ja'far had to handle most of the work around the palace. Well, he probably didn't have to handle most of the work. Ja'far could have allowed some of the other generals to help him. However, just the thought of Sharrkon or Pisti handling very important documents made Ja'far panic. Also, everyone in Sindria knows that Sinbad will do almost anything to avoid working. Therefore, the former assassin pretty much has to handle all of the work by himself.
Ja'far sighed as he approached the king's bedroom. Surprisingly, Ja'far could not hear Sin snoring like he usually is. Ja'far cautiously opened the door and stepped into the room. The thick, luxurious curtains were still closed so the large room was too dark to see anything. Walking closer to the king-sized bed, Ja'far asked, "Sin, are you awake yet? You should be getting up soon; there is a lot of important work you need to do to-" Ja'far stopped when he saw that Sin was not currently in his bed sleeping like he was expecting. Ja'far heard the wood floor creak behind him and he quickly turned around while readying the wires around his arms. Just as he was about to attack, he saw that it was actually Sin behind him. Ja'far was surprised to see him already up and out of bed.
"Sin? You scared me, don't sneak up behind me like that! I could have accidentally attacked you," Ja'far said sounding annoyed.
"Good morning Ja'far. It is a beautiful morning isn't it? It would be a good day for a nice long walk," Sinbad said happily while ignoring his adviser's annoyed look.
"We cannot waste any time today, Sin! There is a lot of work to do. Plus, knowing you, I'm going to have to do most of your work for you."
"You should take the day off. You must be tired since you didn't notice me behind you. I usually can't sneak up on you like that," Sinbad said, still ignoring his adviser.
"Did you hear what I just said? There is too much work to do today. So, no, I cannot take the day off."
"Would you take a day off if I got all of my work done today?" Sinbad questioned.
Stupid, annoying king, Ja'far thought. Sin always knows what to say to get what he wants.
". . ."
I'm not going to let him get his way this time! This time it will be different. I need to teach him that he can't tell me what to do just because he is the king!
"Well? I promise I will do all my work to the best of my abilities and I will not bother you at all the entire day," Sinbad argued.
". . ."
No! I cannot give in! I will regret it later if I give in.
"I will even get all my work done tomorrow as well."
". . . I don't know Sin . . ."
"Today and Tomorrow's work will be done completely and quickly with no complaining from me, I promise."
"Well . . . Okay fine! You better keep your promise though, or I might never listen to you again."
"Thank you Ja'far. I promise you won't regret this. Plus, a true king never breaks his promises." With that, Sin ran out the door yelling, "Come on Ja'far! I have lots of work to do today."
The freckled assassin sighed and slowly followed his king. Darn king! Sometimes I really hate him. This is going to be a long day.
