Prologue – The Contract

When you kill for money, there are no rules. The Psychology of an Assassin

Assassin

A glass of French wine sat on a small stool the slender hand of an elegant lady wrapped itself gently around the neck of the glass swivelling the glass around in her hand for a moment, before bringing it to her lips taking a small sip savouring the taste of the expensive sprit.

The woman's violet eyes flickered to the pictured pinned to the wall nearby a handsome young man with dark brown eyes and hair he was the target the woman's profession hired assassin.

The woman's slender hands caressed the weapon that sat on a tripod in front of her she tilted the weapon downwards to look upon her target as a gentle breeze made her long blonde hair waved in the wind ever so slightly.

The woman sat in a window sill over looking the wealthiest bank in Milan Italy her assignment simple assassinate Nicholas King, The information she had been given told her that he was a weapons smuggler suppling terrorists and rebel governments all over the world.

The woman's violet eyes peered through the scope of her custom sniper rifle a WA 2000 sniper rifle the most expensive and deadly sniper rifle in the world, she watched the throng of commuters pass along the street below the white noise of hundreds of people rising to the level of the woman however she didn't care her focus was upon the assignment that is all that mattered.

The man named King exited the bank the woman's painted mouth curved into a smirk she placed the glass of wine back upon the stool picking up a lighter exposing the naked flame to the air moving it to a corner of the picture allowing the photo the begin burning before placing the lighter back down upon the stool.

"Goodbye Mr. King." The woman said quietly taking her aim at her target preparing choosing the perfect moment in which to make the kill.

The woman found her moment as Nicholas King stepped into the stretch Limousine that had waited patiently for him to emerge from the bank as the woman had.

The woman pulled the trigger hitting Nicholas King in between the eyes he fell back as the bullet passed through his skull impacting the ground below the blood of Nicholas King flowed slowly into the gutter as chaos ensued around his dead body.

Commuters ran over each other trying to get to safety, Nicholas King's private bodyguards desperately scanned for their boss's killer as they drew their weapons.

Through all this the woman calmly and silently packed her tools of death away in her bag she left only one item behind a single red rose a sign that the assassin had been here.

Her name Mai Valentine,

Her Vocation Assassin for Hire,

Her codename, Noir.

The Target

It was a simple school day for this girl a red head with brown eyes her name Serenity Wheeler the slim well built girl walked the school grounds with her friends smiling and chatting about the assignments they had been given.

She giggled as one of her male friends tried to impress her by telling of how he stood up to a teacher in class during the school day that had just ended, "And then I said Mr. Itogawa you let me go I have to help my friend." The boy said.

"Yeah what you forgot to mention Toji is that you wanted to help your friend finish off boat of ice cream in the cafeteria." A short brown haired girl said behind him Serenity giggled.

"AW that's not the point at all I told him he had to let me go I stomped on his foot to prove my point pretty impressive huh Serenity." Toji said proudly.

"What he forgot to say was that he's gotten a month mopping floors because of it." The same girl said behind him causing Toji to sweat drop and Serenity to giggle.

"Hey Serenity do you want to come round to my house to study for this test?" The brown haired girl asked.

"Yeah," Serenity started to say but she caught sight of a black Dodge Viper sitting out the front of the school.

Leaning against the car door stood Mai Valentine dressed in a tight black mini skirt and black sleeveless top that showed off her stomach over her shoulder she held a purple jacket she looked over her sunglasses directly at Serenity.

"Whoa who's the babe?" Toji asked staring at Mai completely zoned out.

"Hey she's not that good looking you know." The brown haired girl scolded.

"Whatever, you say, Asuka." Toji said still staring at Mai.

"Sorry Asuka won't be able to study for that test with you something's come up." Serenity said before dashing off towards Mai.

Mai smiled giving Serenity a hug before moving around to the driver's side as Serenity hopped in, the car sped off at a high rate off speed leaving Asuka and Toji staring after their friend.

"Hey Asuka how does Serenity know the hot chick?" Toji asked watching the road after them.

"I don't know Toji." Asuka answered.

"Do you think I could get Serenity to give me that girl's number?" Toji asked excitedly to his friend.

"Like you'd ever have a chance with a woman like that." Asuka snapped coldly causing Toji to sweat drop and Anime fall.

The car sped along the road at break neck pace Serenity waited patiently for several minutes before asking, "So does this mean with have an assignment?"

"Yes." Mai responded reaching behind her and grabbing a file handing it to Serenity putting the roof of the Viper up.

"Meet Yugi Motou." Mai said as Serenity opened the file to the face of a man with amethyst eyes and odd hair it was spiky with three dominant spikes a marron colour at the edges black on the inside of the hair with golden lightening shaped bangs in front...

"Oh boy this one's a hottie!" Serenity exclaimed in a giddy school girlish voice.

"He's the target don't grow to attached." Mai scolded her apprentice and partner in business.

"Can't we just wound this one he looks to yummy to kill." Serenity wined.

"He's the target." Mai stated again.

"Fine." Serenity said pouting.

"He's a famous game king we've been hired to eliminate him by one of his rivals." Mai explained.

"What's our time frame?" Serenity asked.

"We have eight weeks to kill him." Mai responded.

"Watch out Yugi Motou we're after you." Serenity said looking down at the picture.

"And Noir always gets their man."
