Chapter Three

She jerked her head quickly to the side...

'Those eyes... ripping into my soul.'

She blushed in embarrassment a foreign red hue creeping across her soft cheeks.

'He feels so familiar, like something out of a dream.'

"What's your name?" he grunted feeding the blazing fire, and gazing ominously into the flame.

"Hi-Hikari." She stuttered, her name sounding weak as it hung in the air.

"Hikari..." the assassin repeated to himself, an icy glaze covered his eyes in remembrance.

"Where are you from?" he inquired, lips unmoving beneath the black sash over his mouth.

"Prontera... I live in the cathedral." The words started sliding out of her mouth, relentless of the fact she was giving her information to an assassin.

"You have family?" he turned his eyes away from the flame and stared at her.

She turned to avoid his gaze.

"I don't know..."

"Have you seen a priestess around here?" the knight asked exasperatedly.

The victim was a poor merchant.

"You already asked me, NO! I haven't Payon is seldom home to priests of any kind."

Daisuke turned his peco from the merchant and began cruising the streets of Payon, passing the pagoda topped buildings mingling with the hum of busy merchants and customers.

"What do you mean?" his gaze turned curiously onto her.

"I truly don't remember..." she confided, then brought her hand to her lips as if to verify her confession to this stranger.

She sensed the confusion increasing in his mind.

"I remember as much as being found on a street after a guild had attacked the people in Prontera..."

The assasins eyes turned sharply towards her.

'a guild attack in Prontera...'

She stared at her hands that were folded in her lap for comfort.

"Blood, staining the streets..."

The assassin sat silently listening to her recollection of the gruesome tale.

"I could only recall the name of the guild..."

The assassin gazed at her with utmost anticipation.

"the Kaonishi..." she muttered finding hidden courage to stare straight into his eyes.
