Ayame and Rikimaru grapple up to the rooftop and waited for the two ninjas, downwards, to look back.
"Riki, I'll go ahead of you, just follow me after you finish them off" Ayame whispered
Ayame jumped to the main house where the evil lord lives. Two guards guarded the doors. One archer and the other was a spearman. She jumped down and swiftly cut the archers throat, the spearman saw her and charged her using his spear. She blocked the spear using one of her blades and she pierced the spearman's heart with the other blade. She pulled out her blade and the spearman fell dead. She wiped the blood on her blade using the spearman's clothes.
Rikimaru sliced the second ninja's head; he looked up to the moon's full face. Two ninjas are dead on the floor, their blood was scattered everywhere. He grapple up to the roof then jumped to the main house's entrance; two guards lay dead on ground.
"She's here", Rikimaru concluded
Ayame used her speed to the fullest and stabbed lord Mei-oh on his stomach. He fell on the floor, with his blood spilling on the ground.
"Why... did I ...lose to yo...", Mei-oh chocked with not even able to finish his sentence
Ayame wiped the blood on her blades using Mei-oh's finest silks. She arranged her bangs and she rested her right hand on her waist.
"Well, I finished him pretty quickly", Ayame said proudly to herself
She placed back her blades to her back. where a pouch-like material, that's use for her blades, was wrapped in her waist.
A cloaked being, behind the shadows of the cherry trees, watched her with his black eyes. Ayame's senses pointed to the cherry trees. Then she turned and examined them, but no one was there. She felt Rikimaru's presence and turned to the rooftop, there she found Rikimaru sitting on it. Ayame jumped to the roof and sat down beside Rikimaru.
"I finished him off", Ayame said
"Ayame, you perfectly know that you are the fastest ninja in our clan"
"and that fact is not an excuse for you"
"What were you looking back there?", Rikimaru asked
Ayame looked at the moon and fell silent. Rikimaru patiently waited for Ayame's answer.
"Nothing", Ayame finally replied after hesitating for a moment
"Ayame, Lord Gohda awaits our report, we must go"
Ayame nodded and stood up. Rikimaru stood up too.
"Let's go home partner", Ayame said
Rikimaru and Ayame jumped off to the other houses until they were out of the place. Still, the figure from the shadows, stood there, with jealousy burning in his eyes...
Lord Gohda's house was large. On the first floor was a table with 4 soft pillows for chairs. Two lighted candles stood on the far right corner of the room, and two elegant big pillows were on the front. Lord Gohda sat on the highest pillow, while princess Kiku sat beside her father. Rikimaru and Ayame knelt down in one knee, in the presence of Lord Gohda.
"We have succeeded in our mission", Rikimaru reported
"Very well, take a rest for a while", Lord Gohda replied
Ayame and Rikimaru stood up and they turned to Tesshu, who just arrived at Lord Gohda's house.
"So what are you going to do then?", Tesshu asked.
Rikimaru stayed silent, while Ayame put her right hand on her waist.
"I'm going for a bath", Ayame replied
"Again?!" Tesshu said
"Why don't you spend your time, practicing?" Rikimaru asked
Ayame looked at Rikimaru.
"I need rest Riki", Ayame replied
Ayame left Lord Gohda's house without another word.
"You should understand women more, Rikimaru", Lord Gohda chuckled
Rikimaru raised an eyebrow and left.
Ayame went to the lake with a white towel wrapped on her. She went in the water and dipped her body up to her neck, she then removed her ribbon. Behind some bamboos, near the lake, the same black eyes watched as her hair gently fall down, up to her back.
"Ayame!" Kiku called out
Ayame turned to her and waved. Kiku went to the water, wearing a pink towel.
"I'm glad you'll have rest Ayame", Kiku said
"Yeah, that was good", Ayame replied
Ayame's senses pointed something again now, it's the bamboos. Ayame looked at the bamboos and saw no one, but the same feeling stayed.
"Ayame? Ayame what is it?" Kiku asked
Ayame hesitated for a moment then finally decided to say "nothing".
After some minutes, Ayame stood up and left the water. She tied her hair again and walked towards her and Rikimaru's house.
"What was bothering her?" Kiku asked to herself
Ayame entered the house and found Rikimaru sitting on his bedside; checking his sword. Their house was like Lord Gohda's, but two beds were on the far end of the room. Rikimaru's attention was caught by the person in front of him, the person that was wet from neck to toe.
Ayame walked to her closet and opened it. Lots of the same assassinator's clothes were aligned in it.
Rikimaru stared at Ayame for a moment, and then he spoke up.
"Did something happen?", Rikimaru asked
Ayame turned to him with a confused expression on her face.
"Would something wrong happen in a bath? I don't think so." Ayame replied
Rikimaru fell silent. He returned to checking his sword. Ayame picked one of her usual clothes and went to the small room used for wearing clothes. She spread the blue cloth that covers the small room.
After some minutes, Ayame came out wearing her usual clothes. She took her short blades under her pillow and placed it on the blades' pouch that was located at her back.
Ayame lay back to her bed and pulled the covers to her. She stared at the ceiling, letting go of all thoughts that bothered her today. Slowly her eyelids dropped and consciousness was replaced by unconsciousness.
Rikimaru turned to her and saw her sleeping. Then he placed his sword beside his bed and lay down. He covered himself with a blanket, yet his eyes were open, scanning the ceiling. Who knows when he would sleep...
