...two lower class demons. Risa just sighs. You both are frustrated and tired from the long day that you had, so you just simply killed them. Hn. Pitiful. You thought as you raised your dagger to their throats and slowly dragged it across, digging it deeper and deeper. Once they were fully decapitated you two get ready for bed, knowing fully well that you need rest for the day that lies ahead. There is a considerable amount of difficulty in the challenge that you must complete tomorrow. You are pretty anxious for tomorrow consequently hindering you from a good night's rest. While on the other hand Risa seems to have no difficultly falling fast asleep. You can't stop thinking about how tomorrow will turn out. I can't believe Rio wants us to complete such an impossible task. I don't even know if it's something that we can actually accomplish. You keep thinking up of a variety of possible outcomes until you eventually get too tired to even think anymore and you eventually fall into a restless sleep.

Flashback/Dream
Your walking down a dark, damp, narrow corridor with a candle to help guide you along your way. Rats are running across the bloodstained floor, and spider webs hang from the crumbling ceiling. Bones are scattered across the floor, and every now and then you hear a terrified woman screaming. Hmm…it's coming from the end of the corridor. I wonder what he is doing this time… you solemnly think to yourself. You are acclimated to these kinds of surroundings, but something just doesn't feel right this time. You feel as if there is a bad omen hovering over you and something horrible is going to happen soon, but you have no idea when. "So...what do you think our next job will be Takara?" You look over at Risa with a melancholy look and say "I-I don't know I just kinda have a bad feeling about it though." "Is that why you've been acting weird all day?" "No. It's just, I don't know. Never mind I'm sure this next job will be nothing we can't handle," you say contradicting yourself. "Takara you always get like this before we get our next assignment. Hah. Don't worry about it…you'll be fine. You always are."

"No, I just have a really bad feeling about this one," you state meekly.

She just rolls her eyes at you and sighs. When you finally reach then end, you enter a small, dark, candle lit room. Bats are flying across the room. Bloody chains hang from the wall. Due to the fact that the room is practically consumed in darkness it's a bit hard to make out what it lying in front of you; but you figure out that it's a dead woman on the flood…drenched in her own blood.

"Welcome ladies, how was your last assignment?" you hear an ominous voice mutter.

"Very successful" Risa says with a smirk on her face as she holds out a leaf green colored emerald. You suddenly see a black figure appear out of nowhere in front of Risa. "Hmmm...Very good. And am I correct in saying that the fool is dead?" the figure says while grabbing the emerald from Risa's hand. "Yes, of course, he was willing to give his life, just so that the crystal wouldn't fall into the hands of evil. Hahaha!" You look over at them and just force a laugh.

"Rio what is our next mission?" you ask without any hint of emotion.

"Well, Takara this is going to be a very interesting mission. It's not going to be anywhere near as easy as your last mission. Hn. Let me explain. For a while now I've sought after the precious and extremely valuable Moons Tear. I've heard rumors that the infamous thief Yoko Kurama and his allied friend, have stolen the crystal and it is now in their hands. I want you to retrieve this crystal and bring it back to me. Oh and…only kill them if it's necessary."

Your eyes widen in surprise. "You want us to steal from The Yoko Kurama ! Are you fucking crazy?" Risa turns around and gives you a "shut the hell up" look, but nothing can stop you now…your in no mood to just back down anytime soon. "I could see if you wanted us to kill them, but your asking us to steal from them. I mean come on stealing isn't even our expertise!"

Rio suddenly appears right in front of you. "Takara do you have a problem with this mission? What, you don't think you can handle it?" You abruptly interrupt him saying "Sir, that's not what I meant. You're asking us, to steal from the two greatest thieves in all of Sprit World. Why would you send your top assassins to handle this job? Wouldn't you want to send your top thieves in to steal the gem?" Rio stands there for a bit and then sighs.

"Takara, whether or not you like this mission your doing it. You have Risa with you and this mission should prove successful, if you play your cards right. As for my top thieves, they are out on another mission currently and I just received the news of Yoko stealing the Moons Tear now. I want to attain the crystal from him as quickly as possible. That is why you are going to complete this mission. Plus if you get me the gem, Ill pay you unbelievable amounts of money." You look down at the ground and you think about it. "Fine." Rio smiles and gives you more details about your mission.
End Flashback/Dream

You wake up to the smell of bacon and eggs.
Hmm I wonder what time it is? Ugh its 9:30. Man I didn't get to sleep until frickin 4 in the morning. Well hopefully this wont affect my abilities in this upcoming mission.

You finally got out of bed and you decided to take a shower. No matter how hard you try to not to, thoughts keep popping up in your mind about the up coming mission. You can't get the thought of failure out of your head. You try to get the troubling thoughts out of your mind, but you are unable to do so. Why do I have such a bad feeling about this? It's just a simple mission. Plus think of the money Ill get after I get a hold of the Moons Tear. After you get done with your shower you blow dry your hair straight and change into a black tank top with silky pink ribbons going down the middle it kind of looks like a corset but its really not and into black pants. You go down stairs and you see Risa eating. She looks up and practically squeaks at you, "Hey Takara! Are you ready for today?" You just look at her and sigh. "Not really. I still kind of have a gut feeling that things won't work out." She gives you a look. "Takara, come on. What would go wrong? Plus how cool would it be to steal from the greatest thieves in all of Sprit World? We'd be famous!" You stand there for a bit, thinking about it. "Yeah. I guess I should be a little more excited for this mission." After you grab something to eat, you start to discuss your plans of attaining the crystal and you come to an agreement that Risa will be the distraction and you'll use your impressive speed to run and grab the crystal. Risa runs upstairs to go get ready while you go grab your daggers and wait downstairs for her. Finally after about an hour she comes downstairs. "Well Takara, lets go, she says with a smirk." You fake a smile and head for their castle.

You get there around 2 in the afternoon. You two find a tree to hide in and you start to spy on their movements. After about 20 minutes you say, "Risa, it doesn't even look like they are there. How easy are they going to make it for us." You're starting to feel a little better because of the fact that they aren't in the castle, but you steal sense a bad omen. "OK, Takara, since they aren't home, I'll start the distraction now and then you can sneak in and grab the gem." You nod and she runs for the front gate. You see that they sky is starting to darken and you watch her as she begins her assault. She runs up and kicks the gate down. You see about 100 guards running her way, eager to fight. She uses her shadow ability to disappear and reappear right behind the guards. She then sends and ice blast freezing everyone and everything in her path. What once looked like a beautiful rose garden now looks like a winder wonderland thanks to Risa's ice cool moves. You see more guards coming for her from within the castle and you use this opportunity to sneak in and look for the gem.

What the fuck, I don't see it anywhere. You're starting to panic because you've searched for the Moons Tear for about 25 minutes now, and you still haven't found it. You decide to check in one of the bedrooms. Mmm...I like the scent that is in this room, you think to yourself as you enter the room. You quickly start to search for the crystal and after about 5 minutes you're about to give up and move to the next room when you see a twinkle in the corner of the room. Oh god please let that be the Moons Tear. You run over and you see this shiny, light blue crystal. It has a dark sparkly blue swirl in the middle of it and it is in the shape of a small teardrop. Yes, this has to be it. You think to yourself as you grab the crystal, and you're about the run out the door when you hear a deep, mysterious voice call for you.

"Well, well, well, now what do we have here?" Your smirk quickly turns into a frown as your turn around to see...
