Chapter 1 - Unexpected Events

"Damn it!!!!"

A dark-haired beauty cursed as she threw a pile of magazines off her bed. A few seconds later, a red-haired girl with her hair tied in two buns ran into the room and threw her arms around the dark-haired girl.

"Ceres-chan!!!You're baaaaaacccckkk!!!!!!"

"What the…Get off me this instance Miaka!!!"

Slightly out of breath and not in a good mood at all, Ceres untangled Yuki Miaka from herself and huffed indignantly.

"Fine. Now that you're here I can…..what the hell are you doing,,,,,"

"mrgghobb….,"

Miaka mumbled guiltily as she tried to push the whole chicken pie into her mouth. This of course resulted in a series of coughing and choking. Ceres sighed mentally rolling her eyes, walked over to her and whacked her on the back.

After managing to stop, Miaka plopped down on her butt and whined.

"You didn't have to whack me so hard!!!"

"It served you right. Next time, pay attention to what other people are saying instead of stuffing your face full!!!"

Miaka stopped whining and stared at Ceres.

"You really are in a bad mood today, Ceres-chan. Personally, I hav…"

"Will you stop calling me chan!?I hate it and you know it. Quit being such a brat. You really are the most annoying thing on the face of earth."

Miaka's eyes watered as she listened. Ceres did not yell but her tone made Miaka wish she had. Just then, a pink-haired girl walked into the room.

"….Miaka….what are you doing sitting on the floor?"

Ceres snorted.

"She's probably practicing to be the world's most hopeless assassin."

Sighing, Sakura turned over to Miaka.

"Miaka-chan, you left your food magazines on Ceres' bed and called her 'chan' didn't you?"

Miaka's eyes widened in realization as she noticed the pile of magazines on the floor. She slowly nodded guiltily.

"Ummm….I think so…..go-gomen nasai Ceres-ch….i mean Ceres-oneisan…"

Ceres looked as if she was going to say something sharp but an accidental glance at Sakura's arm made the words die on the tip of her tongue.

"Ceres? What's wrong??? Why have you gone all pale???"asked Sakura as she noticed Ceres growing paler.

"S-Sakura…where did you get that armband…."

"Oh this!? Sasuke-kun gave it to me!!!! Isn't it the coolest!!!! Ah…I forgot you haven't met him yet!!!! His full name is…."

Ceres interrupted her before she could complete her sentence.

"Uchiha….Sasuke…"

Sakura raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"You know Sasuke-kun?"

"Know him!!!!If I ever see Uchiha Sasuke again in my entire life I swear he'll be history!!!"

Sakura's eyes widened in alarm at the hate and bitterness in Ceres's as she was about to say something,a new voice cut in.

"Hn…I came to greet the long-awaited top assassin who had gone off on a tough solo mission and relate the latest orders and instead I find myself being bad-mouthed."
