Prologue

The assignment given to Hinamari was one she didn't want to carry out in the least bit. There was two things that bugged her most in the world, one was returning to her home village that she went rogue on five years ago and the other is family. She made due without the two most of her life, but now she had no choice but to confront both. As she hopped from tree to tree trying to amuse herself by singing she thought about how she got into this mess.

"I won't do it!" Hinamari yelled as she stormed into her boss' office slamming the assignment on the desk. As the youngest and most qualified assassin working for Kaiza he put up with her whining and childishness.

"You will do it and no buts about it." he said not even looking up at her. He continued to fill out papers awaiting the yelling and pleads that would soon occur.

"NO! I will not go to that place and there's nothing you can do to change my mind!" she whined as she crossed her arms and pouted. Kaiza let out a big sigh and looked up at Hinamari, her big green eyes that stared him in the face made him want to change his mind but Hinamari was his only option.

"How about two boxes of sweets?" he said as he stroked his beard. He couldn't bring himself to make her do it out of a threat, he thought of Hinamari as a daughter and he was reminded of that by the clip in her hair she wears everyday that he gave to her. Her long black hair that cascades down her back and her big puppy-dog eyes reminded him of his real daughter who was tragically killed.

"No!" she said stomping her foot. The sweets were tempting her but she wasn't going to give in.

"Three boxes of sweets and that outfit you been eyeing." The image of the outfit that she wanted for so long danced through her head. The capri cargo pants and tennis shoes with the matching cargo half jacket which came in all black. Not to mention with the half jacket and a white unnoticable belly shirt she could show off her belly ring and feminine abs.

"Okay...deal." she said rolling her eyes not seeming too excited yet on the inside she was as ecstatic as a starving dog who has been offered a steak.

Looking down at her new outfit and belly ring she couldn't help but smile to herself. By the next day she approached her destination. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as she began to step through the entrance.
