"I want a hunter on our team," announced Zen as he and his aides stood at the balcony.
His group gaped at him in surprise.
"A hunter?" wondered Mitsuhide. "What for?"
"Well I have two swordsmen and an ex-assassin! A hunter would be nice!" Zen exclaimed matter-of-factly.
Mitsuhide sighed and shook his head. He can't argue with his highness once he made up his mind.
"Where are you going to find a hunter, Master?" asked Obi. "You know I'm considered one, sort of."
"I don't think he's referring to someone like you," mumbled Kiki quietly. She eyed Zen, knowing who exactly he was talking about. "Are you sure about this?"
Zen grinned.
"Definitely."

She stood 50 yards from her target, gripping the bow and pulling back the sharpened arrow. Inhaling and then slowly exhaling, she steadied her aim and released. Within seconds, the arrow penetrated the bullseye. She smiled to herself.
"I still got it."

"BRAVO!" She suddenly hear along with applaud.

She turned around to find his highness Zen and his aides watching her from above. She furrowed the eyebrows at the second prince. He may be his highness, but he is still her childhood friend.
"What do you want, Zen?" she called out.
"Come here! I want to speak to you!"

Sighing, she ran up dozens of stairs to reach where Zen was. As she arrived, she noticed Mitsuhide and Kiki in their normal uniforms and another young man with dark hair, cat-like eyes, and dark clothing. He looked somewhat suspicious, but his smile eased her worry. The girl then turned to Zen.
"Yes, your highness?" she asked more politely after getting a glimpse of Kiki's warning glare.
"How is archery coming along, Kana?" Zen asked.
"Fine, I suppose."
"I'll just get to the point. I want you to become one of my aides!"
"Huh? An aide?"
Kana glanced at Kiki who rolled her eyes and then at Mitsuhide who shrugged his shoulders.
"What for, Zen? You already have two of the best swordsmen and I hear you included a former assassin on your team?" Kana asked, eyeing Obi to the side. "How many more guards do you need?"
"Just one. You," Zen smiled. "Besides, it's not even. What if Obi here needs a partner?"
Obi stared at Zen in shock.
"But Master, I don't need-"
Zen raised his hand to quiet him, his eyes still staring intently at Kana. She gazed at him in thought. It's not like she was really doing anything important at the castle and maybe taking on the job would get her father off your back.
"You'll have to ask my father," Kana finally replied after much thought.
"Challenge accepted," Zen smirked. "I'll summon him now."
"Wait, I-"
"See you later, Kana!" he called out as he and his team walked away.

Two hours later...

"You want my daughter for what?" Kana's father asked, bemused.
"Well I realized I need a marksman on my team and Kana is the best in this castle," Zen explained.
Her father looked at him in thought. His face a bit concerned. He suddenly beckoned for the doors to open and Kana walked into the room in clothes emphasizing his nobility.
Zen chuckled at the sight of her, knowing how uncomfortable she felt in a dress. Hearing his chuckle, Kana glared at him and then turned to her father.
"You called me, Father?"
"Yes. Prince Zen wants you to become a part of his team as a marksman. What do you think?"
"Whatever you think is best, Father."
After much thought, Kana's father sighed.
"I cannot refuse a request from the prince. My daughter is yours, but please take care of her as well."
"I will, sir. Thank you," bowed Zen and then smiled at the said girl. "Come with us."
Kana followed him out of the room and down the corridors.
"That's new of you to let your father make your decisions for you," laughed Zen, once Kana was all out of earshot.
"I figured he would question me less if I let him decide for me," she answered. "What exactly do you need me for anyways?"
"For now, I want you to work with Obi."

Mind you that fanfiction isn't mine. I'm reading this fanfic on the and originally it's Obi x Reader, but I wanted to make it Obi x OC. I was too shy and afraid to ask the owner to let me make the changes so If he/she finds this on , forgive me for using this fanfic. I just adore this story. Finally I've found someone who loves Obi as much as I do. Thank you for creating this story.

P.S. No frames please, I already know I'm doing terrible work so...
