A/N: This is an insane little ff for all the insane little fangirls.

Disclaimer: I do not own Howl's moving castle.( why god, why!?)

I crouched in waiting by the former hat shop, my quarry was coming. Looking behind me at the large band of heart-broken ex's, I sighed, this was not going to be easy. I am a trained assassin, who, at the moment has two tasks:1-abduct Wizard Howl and 2-get rid of Sophie. I really pity Howl, this bunch is going to tear him apart. At that very moment the said wizard stepped outside and into my ambush. Quick as lightning, I ran forward, grabbed Howl by the waist while simultaneously gagging him and securing his hands.

Off I ran, taking a flying leap onto the roofs above me, I hid out of sight. For the first time I looked at my captive and was struck by his piercing blue eyes, they seemed to see right through me. Suddenly I needed air, I pulled off my mask and saw Howl's eyes widen at the sight of my shoulder-length black hair, he tried to say something through his gag, but I smiled at him with my sharpened teeth and delivered the sleeping drug.

At the pre-arranged site on the side of the mountain, I met with the girls. I had stashed the sleeping Howl behind the crest of the hill behind me, out of sight. They all were very happy to see me but their faces fell when they saw that I didn't have Howl with me. Their leader, a dark haired, dark eyed girl almost as tall as Howl, stepped up to me and asked with an imperious accent, "Where is Howl?"

Coolly I responded, "Waiting till his drug wears off."

"And when will that be?"

Not liking the menace in her voice, I shrewdly said, "Very soon if you are willing enough." While saying this I suggestively clinked the coins at my belt.

She snorted in contempt and tossed a silver coin at me. I bowed and marched smartly back over the crest of the mountain to the place I had hidden Howl. The drug was already wearing off anyway, but I really hated that girl, and, what the hell, assassins weren't supposed to come cheap. Howl groaned and seeing he was awake I slung him over my shoulder and carried him back to girls, who stopped chattering immediately. "I pity you, but I must leave you to the tender mercy of these girls here.", I murmured to Howl before setting him down on the ground next to a large boulder.

I had the sense to jump backward onto the boulder before the raging horde of girls mobbed Howl, I leaped clear of the crowd, now on to part two of my job...The disappearance of Sophie...
