11:38 p.m.
Unidentified Building
Siren's blared. My feet ran forward. My eyes constantly shifted. My pistol was ready in my hand.
I cautiously approached a corner and placed my back against it. I turned around into a crouching position with my gun at ready aim. Sure enough, one of the guards was there. He tried to aim his gun at me but I already fired. I quickly stood back up and ran down the hall. I could see the staircase ahead.
Almost there...
Suddenly, three more guards appeared from the adjacent hall. I fired at one, then the other, but knew I wouldn't dodge a gunshot from the third so I somersaulted to the other end of the hall. He fired, but missed and I aimed for his head.
Fire.
Blood gushed from his skull but I just kept running. I opened the door to the staircase and bolted down the square-spiraled steps. I pulled out a cell phone and pushed a button.
"Mitsukuni." I breathed into the receiver.
"Rin." A suave male's voice rang through my ears.
"I'm on my way."
"Right." I closed the phone and pocketed it without stopping. I was almost at the bottom when there was someone there-an enemy. I jumped up, my blond hair trailing behind, and landed atop of the man. I grabbed his wrist that carried a gun and hit him with my own on his head to knock him unconscious. I flipped out of the way as he collapsed onto the concrete floor and landed before bolting out the door. A black car screeched to a stop before me. The back door opened and I quickly entered. We sped off.
"How'd it go?" Mitsukuni asked. He lowered his head and his jet black hair almost covered his eyes.
"Hiroshi Morioka was successfully assassinated."
"Atta girl." I looked up into the rear view mirror at saw my reflected cerulean eyes. I slumped back into the seat.
"Do you think Mama would praise me?" I asked in a soft voice.
"Of course. At your age, you're an outstanding assassin."
"You're right...I mean not too many 14-year-olds get to do what I do. Even though I didn't really ask for it..."
"Not this again...Just get some sleep, Rin. I'm sure you're exhausted." He said. I just stared out the window as we approached the city. I was too tired to put up an argument anyway. My eyelids grew heavy and I fell asleep.
7:12 p.m
Downtown Sapporo
Rin's P.O.V
"Rin! Hurry up!" My friend Miku called out. I rubbed my eyes and her long teal hair and eyes began to become clearer. Then the rest of her figure did.
"Coming!" I ran up to her.
"Geez, Rin! You look awful." she said.
"Wow, thanks, Miku!" I said sarcastically.
"I just mean you look really tired."
"Because I am! I rarely get any sleep."
"Huh? Why? What keeps you up so late?" she pestered.
"Well...that is because...uh..."
"Oops! No time! Your lollygagging is going to make us late for the train." She pulled my arm and we ran towards the train station. When we reached our stop, we walked to our school and we're immediately greeted by Kaito-Miku's boyfriend- and Len, my closest friend next to Miku.
"Wow, Rin, you look awful." Len commented.
"So I've heard." I said through my teeth.
"I-I didn't mean it that way! You just look really exhausted. You haven't been staying up too late, have you? You're getting enough rest?"
"Yes, Len! Sheesh, relax. I was just busy...helping my mom with something, that's all." I answered.
"So what were you helping with?" Kaito asked.
"Just...stuff...a-anyway, we're gonna be late! Let's get inside." And I walked towards the school building and they followed. Phew, that was close...
I didn't really like hiding things from my friends, but I couldn't tell them I was an assassin. If they all knew, their lives will be in serious danger. And I just couldn't do that to them. Plus if I told them, I wouldn't be able to go to school anymore. It was the only thing that made me feel regular.
"Did you hear? There's a new store downtown that just opened. It looks really cool and I really want to go." Miku announced at lunch.
"We should go after school." Kaito suggested. Len and Miku nodded.
"Sounds good! Rin, you coming?" Len asked.
"Ah, no I can't. I have...cram school."
"Cram school? Since when?" Miku asked.
"Since today. My mom is making me go." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well...maybe next time."
"Yeah..." The rest continued talking amongst themselves and I just rolled my orange between my palms. Truth is, I didn't have cram school. I just have to prepare for another mission tonight. It's kinda far and I have to leave right after school.
4:17 p.m
Rin's Home, Living Room
Rin's P.O.V
"So, who's life am I ending today?" I said sarcastically. Mama just smirked, her short brunette hair curving around her round face.
"His name is Tatsuya Nishimura. He goes out on his hotel balcony around 10-ish for a smoke. Get him then, but don't be seen."
"Basically a snipe?"
"Exactly. I leave it to you, Rin."
"I won't let you down."
4:17 p.m.
Downtown Sapporo
Miku's P.O.V
"Hmm...Ah! There it is!" I cried out. There were tons of people in the little shop.
"It's packed..." Len said.
"You complain too much! C'mon let's go!"
"I don't know, Miku... how about we come back later? They might just run out of stuff anyway." Kaito said.
"Nope. I wanna go now. And if you guys don't want to come then I'll go by myself." I marched over to the store by myself. I went inside and looked around the strange shop. It was filled with all these weird statues and dolls and clothing. Why is this store so popular? It's dark and weird... Still, I haveto buy something. I made such a big fuss out there. Plus I don't want to have come all this way for nothing. Maybe I'll buy something for Kaito? Or Rin and Len? I was looking at some weird tiki-esque cell phone charms when I felt a figure looming over me. I turned around to face a man with dark hair that covered his eyes wearing cloak-like outfit.
"Welcome!" he said in a dark voice that completely went with his appearance. "Can I help you find anything?" So he works here?
"Um...no, thank you. I'm just looking."
"Very well then." And he walked away.
"Geez, what a creep..." I said under my breath. I should hurry and buy something so I can leave. I bought a cross necklace for Len, some more hair clips for Rin, and a scarf for Kaito, since it's getting colder. When I went up to the counter, the scary guy from earlier was there! I kept my eyes away and paid for them.
"You're in luck!" He said. I looked up at him. "Today you receive a free gift with every purchase." He then pulled out a black mask with a pointed chin and slanted red eyes.
"Um...thanks?" I gave a weak smile and rushed out of there.
"There she is." I heard Kaito say as I approached the two.
"Here, I got these for you." I gave the two their gifts.
"Thanks, Miku! You didn't have to-"
"Forget it. I just want to get as far away from that place as possible."
10:28 p.m.
Vacant Building, Downtown Sapporo
Rin's P.O.V
"Damn, where is he?" I muttered under my breath. I had perfect aim on Nishimura's suite veranda. I looked away from the scope and stood up straight. I let out a sigh and saw my breath. I looked out the window for a while and saw someone walking on the alley below. That color hair was unmistakable. "Miku?" I whispered. She was holding something black in her hand...but I couldn't see. I wanted to lean out the window, but I forgot I was on a mission. I went back to my scope position, which was resting on one knee and the other bent for support, and sure enough Nishimura was smoking a cigarette. "This is my chance." I adjusted the aim to him, but right before I pulled the trigger, a face appeared, making me jump. It was black with red eyes. "What the hell?"
I flipped back and drew out my pistol. Something black flew past the window yet I saw a hint of blue. It couldn't be... I shook my head. No time to make assumptions now. I've been discovered. I turned for the exit and headed for the first floor. I turned for the alley, but it was empty. I looked up at the window from where I just was and there was no one there either. I know I'm not seeing things.
7:27 a.m
Interjection, Sapporo Neighborhood
"Mama sure wasn't happy about last night...I'd thought she'd never stop yelling..." I said, thinking aloud. I looked around for Miku, but she was nowhere to be found. "She's usually earlier than me..." I decided to wait for her for a couple minutes, but there was no sign of her. I decided to go on ahead. I kept checking my phone to see if she'd text or call but I didn't get any notifications. I went on ahead without her.
"Hey, Rin! Where's Miku?" Kaito asked once I reached the school.
"I don't know. You're her boyfriend you should be the first to know."
"Well, maybe she was sick or something came up?" Len suggested. Before we could come up with anymore possibilities, the bell rang and we headed inside.
End! So how was it? Please leave some kind of feedback, I'd be grateful. Also there's a cool box in a corner with choices you can/should pick. *fail at hinting*
