An Irreplaceable Truth
By marissafish

Author's Note: I have no willpower. My dad ruined the game for me ('This is so gay!' he said) but then like a week ago I finished the game for myself and what pops into my mind but this cute little idea! -

Summary: A group of female assassins works along side with Altair's group. When one of them breaks the Creed she is sent to work with Altair eliminating certain individuals.

Disclaimer: I do not own Assassin's Creed, Desmond, Altair, et al. If I did, Altair would be more bishie-like, Lucy & Desmond would be together, and the ending wouldn't be so cliché. Oh, and it would soon be an anime. -'

"Sakina, I sent you on this task because you are my best. What do you do? You break the Creed!" The younger one of the two women didn't bow her head; didn't apologize. The older turned around from the window she was looking out and walked to the younger one.

"What do you have to say for yourself? The two novices that followed you into the temple and died their blood is on your hands."

"Both of us didn't die. My sister did die, here is what you wanted Master." 'Master' nodded and glared at Sakina.

"Right now you are anything but calm. Go down to the city and help another traitor rid us of the Templars." Sakina nodded and ran out of the room and down into the city.

&&&

Sakina noticed who was also fighting. Altair, what had he done wrong? It didn't matter now, after the enemy was gone, she would surely die. She grabbed her short sword and ran to the nearest enemy. She moved like lightning and grabbed the person by the neck and stabbed them in the heart.

Moving down towards the game, she threw three knifes, one after another, onto the oncoming slew of Templars.

"Come, the citizens are safe now!" She nodded and ran back to the fortress, where her master, Aaliyah, waited to pass judgment.

"Sakina, do you know why you accomplished something today? You listened you stupid girl. Sakina, never harm innocent blood is the first rule of the sister's creed."

"I know that!" A slap was heard as Aaliyah seethed.

"From my understanding, you killed a young woman when you saw her in the temple. Rule number two: Do not expose yourself. You went down to a target and showed yourself before you killed. Do you think you are an angle of death, trying to do that?" Sakina looked down in shame, her cheeks were burning.

"Rule number three: Do not under any circumstances, revel yourself to be a women. Do you know why we have this rule? Because we do not want any innocent women killed because they were believed to be an assassin. The final rule is one you and Altair broke amazingly. Never expose the clan, what did you do? You let those Templars follow you to Masyaf! I am sorry to say this but goodbye. You were one of my brightest and best assassins ever." Sakina felt her eyes widen and close as a blade was ran though her body. She swayed, and then descended into darkness. 'This is the end…' she thought.

&&&

"Wh-What happened? I saw you stab me, felt Death's embrace." Why was she hearing the voice of Altair?

"No, you along with Sakina only saw what we wanted you to see. The both of you did die and were reborn." That was the voice of Altair's master, why?

"Sakina, I know you are awake. We have a task for you and Altair to regain the ranks you were stripped of. The two of you are to kill these nine men and their closest ally in the city." Sakina shot up when she heard that she was working with Altair.

"Master, you cannot be serious. We may have sinned but that does not call for the two of us to work together! It's against the creed for us to work together; our third rule, do not revel ourselves to be women!"

"Sakina, the rule does not come into play; anyone should see two men traveling together. Do you have any other brilliant ideas to worm out of this?" Sakina looked at the ground and felt her hands ball up into fists. Aaliyah smirked and turned to face the window.

"Your first target is Tamir in Damascus. His partner is Manal. That is the only information we'll give you. Go and speak with the Bureau leaders, they should help." Sakina and Altair nodded and left the room.

"Where are you going?" Sakina turned to face Altair.

"I need to pack, you may be happy with a sword, food, water and a name but I have more needs than that. I'll meet you at the entrance when I am ready." She left him and walked to her room. She picked a small bag and put her clothing from Damascus inside. She also added extra throwing knifes a hairbrush, and a small rag. She didn't want blood to stay on her weapons. An animal yipped and she looked down to see Jabari, her pet wolf.

"Hey there, baby. Do you want to come to Damascus with me and Altair?" He growled at Altair and she laughed.

"Of course you want to come! Let's go, Jabari…wait where's Altair?" The wolf cocked his head in puzzlement.

"Not the human, the bird, Jabari. Did you eat him?" The wolf shook its head and nodded over to the window. She walked to the window and looked for the eagle. She whistled and a bird came flying though the window.

"Hey Altair, do you also want to come with me and your human counterpart to Damascus?" The bird cawed and hopped onto her shoulder. She smiled and the three of them walked to the entrance where Altair waited.

"Why are you bringing animals along? Do you want to blow our cover?" She glared.

"No, traitor; these are my familiars. Traitor say hello to Jabari, the wolf, and Altair, the eagle."

"You named an animal after me?"

"Arrogant, much? No I named the raven Altair because he loves flying. Are you ready to leave?" Altair the human nodded and the four left Masyaf and stopped at the gate.

"Ah, Sakina I see you have your friends with you. Do you need a horse?"

"Yes, Wardah, we need two horses I have a human assassin coming with."

"Amazing, Master usually lets you go by yourself. Did you get in trouble? You always were a bit reckless." The two laughed.

"Yes I did get in trouble. However let's talk about this later; my human partner probably wants to leave as soon as possible."

"Who is your partner?"

"It's Altair; not the eagle, the human."

"Wow, how are you going to talk to him?"

"Not sure; so what horses are available?"

"Ah that one that likes you, Qismah, is here. For your partner Altair there is that nice mare, Raziya."

"Those two are perfect. Good bye friend, we will talk later." The two of you got onto the horses and rode towards Damascus. You paused halfway to the city.

"I have a bad feeling about doing this. We should rest here for the night." Altair turned to you.

"No, the sooner we do this, the sooner you'll stop being a liability for me."

"Who do you think you are? I am just as good as an assassin, if not better! I'm waiting the night out here, if you want to continue ahead fine. I'll see you in the city." She got off the horse and walked over to a group of secluded trees. Altair sighed and walked with his mare to Sakina.

"Altair, Jabari you may go and find food if you wish. Just make sure not to get caught. I don't want to see either of you killed." The bird and wolf stood up and ran away to find food.

"I'll take the first watch tonight." Altair looked at his partner; she was the most confusing person he has ever met. But he nodded and laid on the ground facing away from her.

&&&

"Sakina wake up, we're leaving." Altair looked at his sleeping partner. She didn't wake up.

"Sakina wake up or I'm killing Jabari." She woke and looked at him like he was the devil incarnate.

"That's a horrible thing to say, what did Jabari do to you?"

"He bit me…" Altair looked away when Sakina tried to suppress a laugh but failed. She looked at the wolf that was sitting near her.

"Did you bit the traitor, Jabari?" The wolf somewhat nodded.

"Bad boy, you don't want the mean little boy to get angry, do you? He might be even more of an ignorant pig with a fetish for sharp, pointy equipment." Altair twitched; he could feel that she was trying to provoke him.

"If you are done talking to the animals, let's continue forward." She nodded and stood up and stretched. She got on the horse, called for her familiars, and rode with her partners to Damascus.

So that was the first chapter! I really enjoyed doing this…even though it's impossible to keep Altair in character! And even my own character is hard to keep in character! And the language! Oh god the language! I wish I could have Sakina say 'Go fck yourself.' But ha ha ha Altair gets the pet name 'Traitor'; I don't even know how I chose that. Oh I skipped the nice shiny 'find the idiot who let the Templars in' part because well that part was a super huge filler. Hope you liked it!

Sayonara everyone! --marissafish
