A quick author's note: Chapters will be added by the day. The fanfiction consists of action, romance, mystery, suspense, humor, etc. My only request: no flames. If you don't enjoy the characters, settings, plots, pairings, and so on, blame yourself. Enough information was offered in the summary as well here. If you fail to read either, you're at fault.
All work and non-innovative characters are copyrighted by Scarlet (Shuiro Mistress). All else are credited to the original makers of © Namco.
Taki
Noticing your rapid rising skill and stunning intelligence, we've personally assigned you as a bodyguard for one of our elders. This man travels frequently and is often interrupted and assassinated along the way. He goes by the name Mukai. You'll extend this trip at an approximate length of three months minimum on foot. If you refuse, we'd have no choice but to take it into our hands, persuasively, if you understand us.
Before we forget, we should tell you that you wouldn't be traveling alone with Mukai. We've notified another warrior we think is at your same status such as yourself about the situation.
We ask that you meet on the bridge near the stream down the road of your village tomorrow morning. You'll meet Mukai and your partner there.
Many thanks,
The Unknown Leaders
Nearly glaring at the letter, Taki growled and clenched her hand around the paper. She used the same hand to crumbled the rest of it and throw it to her side.
Damn it, she thought. Why would they randomly choose me to do this? I know I'm one of the best around. Sure, but over and over I'm requested to fulfill these missions. I'm not even asked anymore. They're more like orders now. She paused. And who is the other warrior? Someone I know?

Mina tilted her head. What is this about? Isn't there anyone else they could ask to do this? The girl sighed, stroking the braid that lay over her shoulder. She re-read the letter. She wasn't sure why. But as her eyes followed the last line of the note, she cocked an eyebrow.
Another warrior? Do they know me? Much less, are they a friend…?
