Beginning

The night had been chilly, the smaller woman had entangled herself in her lovers body to keep her nearly bare body warm. The assassin welcomed the embraces and even made her feel at peace. The sweet warm smell of the red head was bliss to the assassin, it was her favorite taste, her favorite smell, her favorite view. This woman had become her whole life in such a short time but the assassin was glad. The small red head was something worth protecting and gave her a purpose in life.

Even her dreams were about the red head. Tonight she was dreaming that both of them had gone to the beach and she had punched a guy in the face and knocked him out for hitting on her lover. Even in her dreams she knew that Ichinose Haru only belonged to her and that put a smile on her face but she suddenly woke up. It was early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up yet but she was. This was the time when she would usually wake up to do her morning exercises so she gently removed her lover off of her and got up. The assassin didn't want to leave her lover alone so she decided to do as much as she could inside then go running later on or at night when the red head could accompany her. She would make sure to take her lover wherever she went to insure her safety.

The red head lazily opened her eyes only to find that her assassin wasn't in bed with her and anxiety quickly took over; thinking that maybe she had left her. The red heads eyes were reddening with tears building up as she noticed the way she was dressed too. Terrible thoughts started building in her head. Things like; the blue haired assassin only wanted a taste of her or since she didn't go all the way with the assassin, that had made her upset and she left. But then scarier thoughts started forming as she looked down at her body. She had been the one to hand her a drink during dinner last night and maybe it had sleeping drugs in it to make her sleep but she shook her head. "No, Tokaku-san would never do those type of things to her right?" she questioned herself as a single tear ran down her face. At this time the assassin exited the shower, still not fully dry.

The first thing she saw was a tear running down her precious lovers face. She rushed to the smaller woman and embraced her with a tight hug. The towel that was on her head had fallen to the ground. "Haru what's wrong?" the assassin asked worriedly wondering if she had pushed her lover too far or done something wrong. The smaller woman let herself relax in her lovers arms. She could feel that her assassin was still wet from a shower but was glad that she didn't leave. The guardian faced the red head and placed her forehead on the smaller womans, not really knowing where she was going with this. "Haru its okay, I'm here to protect you. I won't let anyone touch you. Feel safe with me, please" The assassin spoke softly. The smaller woman relaxed and whipped away her tears, glad that it was only her imagination making her think terrible things. The red head pulled away "I thought that Tokaku-san had left me and that scared me." The smaller woman answered. The assassins eyes softened "Haru, I could never leave you. You're small and get lost easily so I must always stay by your side." The guardian responded.

Ichinose's face showed a bright smile, these words had reassured her that there was nothing to worry about as long as her guardian was by her side. "Um Tokaku-san what happened to my clothes." The now calm woman asked shyly. Both of their faces turned a soft shade of pink. "Oh well you suddenly fell asleep and I had to take your dress of or else it would get wrinkled." The guardian explained while pointing at the hanger with the dress. The red head understood and let her body fall on the bed. "Thank you for taking such good care of me Tokaku-san." The woman responded cheerfully. The assassin rolled her eyes thinking of all the embarrassing things that she had just said but laid down next to her lover and closed her eyes. Next thing she knew the smaller woman had stared holding her hand. A slight smile crept into her face. "Tch, this was surely going to be fun." The assassin thought to herself but then she remembered that soon they would have to go meet up with the Chairswoman and sat up quickly. "Haru, get ready. We have a meeting with Ms. Yuri today." She commented. The smaller woman released her lovers hand and watched as the assassin started to change into clothes with her face turning cherry red. The assassin had no idea that her lover was watching her change so she simply slipped off her towel with her bare body exposed. The red head admired the assassins well sculpted body, it was obvious that she was in amazing shape. Her well sculpted lean legs, her muscular back and broad strong shoulders. Azuma Tokaku was the definition of being in shape. Her body was amazing but then the assassin suddenly turned to check on the proses of her lover.

The guardian suddenly turned and caught her lover of guard, it was obvious to the assassin that the smaller woman had been watching her change all this time. The red head on the other hand just closed her eyes and pretended to be resting. "Tch, get changed Ichinose." The assassin indicated then turned back around and finished putting her clothes on. The smaller woman obeyed and grabbed another dress to wear for today and made her way to the kitchen. "Hey Tokaku-san what would you like to eat this morning?" the smaller woman asked, looking into the fridge but suddenly there was a knock on the door. The assassin grabbed a knife, hid it in the back of her pants then opened the door.

It was the trash. "What do you want Nio?" the assassin growled with discontent. The blonde woman grinned "Well there was a slight change of plans, Ms. Yuri wishes to see both of you two now so hurry up and come." She hissed back. The small red head made her way to the door and heard then held her lovers arm, as to hold her back. "I'll be waiting downstairs but hurry." She added then walked away from the door with a smile. Things were about to get complicated.
