So...yeah...here's the very first angst thing I've written... I told Snavej about the idea that popped into my head, and after getting a lot of "DOOOO ITTTT" I decided to challenge myself and get out of my fluffy and humorous comfort zone lol. Let me know how I did on this, alright?

She needed to tell him. She had to tell him...before it was too late. If she waited any longer, they would kill him. She knew they would, even if she didn't give the okay to do so. It had been the mission all along to exterminate him. The man named Oliver Davis. The man who she was suppose to get close to, to learn all of his secrets before giving the others the consent to kill him. The man who she wasn't suppose to get attached to, but she unfortunately did anyway. The first man who she came to love.

She made her decision and knew the consequences of it. But if it meant keeping him alive...she would do it.

"You need to leave Japan, Naru."

Her voice was quiet, almost panicked, as she spoke to the man in front of her. Every few seconds she looked behind her and checked her surroundings. She had already searched the area for any other living soul around them before approaching him about this, but it would do no good to be careless. Carelessness could cost both of their lives.

Arms crossed over his chest, the raven-haired man stared at his assistant guardedly. Normally he would chide her with a little bit of teasing when she would try to order him around so freely, the word 'idiot' would be at the tip of his tongue, but something was different about her this time. She didn't say it loud and confident as she usually did; she said it quietly and tried her best to keep her voice even, as if she was in fear. Her breaths were irregular as well with her hands clenched at her sides. And her cinnamon brown orbs stared right into his sapphire blue ones as if begging, pleading, him not to ask any questions and do as she said.

But he couldn't do that. He couldn't not ask any questions when Mai looked so frightened. He needed answers. Why would she even have said that to began with?

"Why should I do that?" He asked plainly. Mai's eyelids half-closed for a few moments as she continued to stare at him, almost in defeat. No, she had to stay strong, she wouldn't cry about this. She wasn't allowed to be emotionally attached to anyone on her missions, that was part of her brutal training years ago, but this man in front of her... He had began to break down the steel-like walls she had surrounded around her when they first met.

"You just need to leave. Please, trust me. Get Lin, pack up, and go back to England. Please." She pleaded. If she had spoken any lower, Naru would have had to strain his ears to hear her. He narrowed his eyes at one particular word that came from her lips.

"England?" Naru demanded, his eyes hardening. The brunette cringed slightly at her slip-up. She desperately had been hoping she wouldn't have to tell him the truth about everything, but what a ludicrous wish that was. Of course Naru wouldn't listen to her, especially after demanding him to leave here. "How do you know that?"

Mai opened her mouth before quickly closing it back. Her gaze darted down, unsurely. How was she suppose to say this?

"Be...because..." She swallowed visibly. "There are people who are wanting to kill you." She looked up and locked eyes with him. "So, please! Leave!"

Naru's lips pressed into a thin line. "If this is your attempt at trying to be funny, it's not working." Naru asked. The brunette took a deep breath. She had to tell him the absolute truth. He would undoubtedly hate her afterwards, resenting having ever hired her, but he needed to know so he would be safe. It didn't matter what would become of her.

"I'm not lying! You have to know that! Naru... Please just listen to what I have to say, alright? It won't be easy..."

Silently, and lips still pressed together skeptically, the young man nodded.

"I...I work for an organization. My assignment was to get close to you and learn everything there was about you before giving my higher ups the consent to...execute you." Mai foolishly glanced up at Naru. She felt sick to her stomach at seeing the shocked look at his face, his façade completely unguarded from the information.

"Why are you telling me this then? Why should I even believe you?" He pressed harshly, and his expression immediately hardened a second later and his eyes became icy cold.

"I...I know it's hard to believe, but why would I lie about something like this?" Mai said honestly. Ironic how people tried to make someone believe they wouldn't kill them, but here she was trying to tell him that she worked for a secret organization that wants him dead. "It'd only give you another reason to call me an idiot." An empty laugh escaped her lips.

Naru only studied her face. She had always been an open book, and right now, she looked earnest. No signs of lying. But then again, if what she was saying was true, everything he thought he knew about this girl would be false would it not? Everything up until now would have been an act. She had to have been deliberately placing her emotions on her sleeve for everyone to see.

"Don't you see now?" Mai's voice brought him from his reverie. "This is why you need to leave. I-I can't do it this time, Naru. I can't let you die. I need you to be safe!" She yelled in a hushed whisper. He could see tears start to form in her eyes. "I can't let them kill you like they killed him!"

"...Who?" Naru's eyes narrowed into slits. He truly did not know the answer, but something of despair formed in his stomach. He did not want to know the answer, but something told him he needed to know. The distressed girl shakily let out a breath.

"Eugene."

This was meant to be a one-shot, but this just seemed like a good place to stop...soooo, the next chapter will be the final! I'll update it soon, promise! Please review!
