Zouri sighed. Being an evil henchman was hard work. You never got any breaks and it was always "Kill this, Kill that, do this, decapitate that." He picked up his katana and brushed a strand of his silver-ish hair out of his face, nearly poking himself in the eye. He sighed again. He had been sent on another mission to kill yet another random mortal. He tugged his purple hat over his hair and strapped on his katana.
"Come on Waraji!" He yelled into the other room. Waraji came in, scratching his head, ready to go. The two disappeared into the forest.
"So…" Waraji said, trying to strike up a conversation. Zouri sighed.
"Shut up." He said. Waraji looked offended for a moment before he regained his composure.
"That isn't very nice." He said in a sort of pouty voice. Zouri shrugged.
"Yeah and your point is…" he asked, still focused on the trees in front of him. (They're doing the ninja jump from tree to tree thing.)
"It doesn't make people feel good. It doesn't make me feel special." He said. Zouri had one of those 0.o looks on his face.
"Okay?" He asked. His partner sighed.
"Never mind." He said, looking all depressed and angsty. Zouri sighed.
"Gosh…" he mumbled. The two completed their mission. On the way back, Zouri looked over at Waraji only to see that he was mumbling to a leaf.
"What the fudge?" Zouri asked. Waraji looked up.
"Oh, sorry. I have a habit of confessing my innermost secrets to inanimate objects." He informed his friend. Zouri blinked.
"I'm so sorry I asked…" he mumbled. Suddenly, Waraji disappeared. Zouri blinked, then continued on to the hideout. When he walked through the door, it was dark. He sighed, flipping on the lights.
"SURPRISE!" Random background ninjas yelled, jumping out from behind furniture. Zouri blinked.
"Oh yeah, it's my birthday." he said. Waraji sighed.
"How can you not remember your birthday?" he asked. Zouri pondered this question for a moment.
"Well, thanks to the monotony of life working for Gato, I guess I forgot that today was my birthday." He finished.
"Happy birthday anyways!!!" The ninjas yelled again, and then there was cake, screaming, katanas, and fruit punch.
A/N: Happy Birthday Zouri!!!
