Chapter one: Enemies..or..?
The sky overhead was calm one second and turning grey the next. However, the assassins paid no mind to it as they hurried through the thick, overgrown forest after their target. Their target was a weapons dealer from the Land of Waves who had just pain a sell in the Land of Wind. The female assassin in the duo threw several Kunai towards the seller. All but one of the Kunai missed the sell, however that was all she needed to stop the seller from running. The female assassin hurried towards the fallen seller and plunged her black katana through the seller's chest. The seller didn't have time to scream, before she plunged her katana through his chest, his Blood splattering everywhere, including on her.
The female assassin wiped the Blood away and sheathed her Bloody blade. The assassin walked out of the forest and caught a knfie that was thrown towards her. "Alert as always, Feather." The other assassin said as he smirked at her and walked towards her. "Tch. I'm faster than you, Weasel." Feather shot back as she began flinting off towads their hideout. Weasel sighed in annoyance, before he too, flinted towards their hideout. Feather ran ahead of Weasel, making sure that they weren't followed along the way. Feather scaled the wall of their hideout and jumped through the second story window-the only window she dared to ever leave open. Weasel came in after Feather and smirked at his partner after climbing through. "You are so impatient." Weasel commented. Feather shot Weasel a deathglare before she crossed the room to her bedroom. Feather closed the door behind her, stripped of her clothes, and entered the bathroom that was attatched to her room. Feather quickly washed her long silky pink and Crimson tipped hair, and her pale body, before she turned off the shower and exited the bathroom.
Feather approached her dresser and took out a pair of black baggy pants, and a red tank top. Feather quickly dressed and exited her bedroom. "Did you make the report out?" Feather asked as she walked into the kitchen. "Shit. No, I forgot." Weasel replied. Feather threw a dagger at Weasel for his forgetfulness and sighed at him. "You. Need. To. Make. The. Report. Out." Feathere stated cleary. "I know. I know, Anastasia." Weasel said with annoyance. Anastasia sighed and began making their simle dinner of miso soup and onigiri. Anastasia made their dinner and left Weasel's share on the table, before she climb out the window and balanced herself on the railing of the balcony. Weasel picked up his dinner and examined Anastasia for a second. "I can feel your eyes staring at me, Itachi." Anastasia stated with slight anger. Itachi smirked at Anastasia before he spoke. "That's dangerous." Itachi stated as he ate his dinner. Anastasia sighed and went back inside. Anastasia placed her untouched meal on the table, before she climbed back out of the hideout.
"The bird will be here soon with a new mission." Anastasia stated as she spotted the messenger bird. The bird quickly landed and Anastasia took the scroll it carried. Anastasia sent the bird off again and examined the scroll. Anastasia sighed and cimbed back inside the hideout. "What does it say?" Itachi asked as Anastasia passed him. Anastasia walked towards her room, but was stopped by Itachi. "It's not for you.." Anastasia stated as she entered her room and closed the door behind her.
Itachi sighed in annoyance before he entered his room, his glare present upon his face. Itachi glanced over at the picture that lie on his desk. It was a picture of their team or what was left of it. It used to be a four man team with Anastasia, Itachi, Suku, and Zaki. Itachi sighed and rolled over on his back, his eyes on the ceiling. "I miss you..two..but...Anastasia has become cold...she partially opened up to you two, but never me...why?" Itachi questioned as he stared at the ceiling.
Within her room, Anastasia examined the scroll, not quite believing what she was reading:
"Scroll Number: XV7y689023689zy

Anastasia sighed when she finished reading the scroll again and laid on her bed. Anastasia eventually drifted off into sleep as she thought about her mission. Anastasia awoke to the smell of smoke and she rushed out her room. Before her was Itachi. In. The. Kitchen. With. A. Smoking. Oven?! Anastasia hurried into the kitchen and shut off the oven, before she slowly turned and glared at Itachi. "Hee, hee I'm sorry. I wanted to make you breakfast..and..I..kinda..burned...it.." Itachi trailed off. "Clean this up at once, then you can go clean the hideout. I have my assignment." Anastasia stated codly as she walked back inside her room and slammed the door behind her. Itachi sighed and began cleaning the mess up.
Within the room. Anastasia felt her heart inside break a little bit as she had to be this way towads Itachi. "He can never remeber what I did.." Anastasia muttered to herself as she entered the bathroom. Anastasia quickly showered and dressed for her assignment. She then placed her weapons in place before tying her hair in a high ponytail. Anastasia shoved her petite feet into black boots before she exited her room. Itachi watched as Anastasia moved to exit the hideout. "I'll be back in three weeks.." Anastasia mumbled as she exited the hideout.
Itachi sighed sadly as Anastasia exited the hideout and looked back at the window, then to the empty hideout...
Anastasia put the hood of her cape over her head and mumbled a simple, yet depressing sentence "Enemies or...something more, Itachi?"...
