As usual, the normal "I dont own RO but i own the story" stuff.
And all characters (except Aka) belong to me. Aka blongs to a good friend of mine.
Prologue
"Aka, are you sure you have to go?"
The crimson haired assassin smiled at her charge and ruffled her light brown hair.
"Don't worry Meral, you'll be fine without me."
With a pout on her lips, the acolyte shoved the other girl's hand away and glared at her.
"You can't leave me...you just can't!"
Aka sighed and placed her hands on the acolyte's shoulders, then looked into her amethyst tinted eyes.
"Look, I am neither your sister nor your mother. I'm your bodyguard. We shouldn't get too attached to each other."
"I don't care! Please Aka, don't leave!"
The assassin looked at the younger girl. What she was about to do wasn't easy, not in the least, and it was a last resort tactic she had hoped not to have to use. But desperate times always called for desperate measures, and Aka gave the girl an angry glare.
"I didn't want to tell you this, but you leave me no choice. Meral, the truth is, I don't want to be around you anymore. You're a whiney, self centered, spoiled little brat, and I've had about all I can take of you. I'm quitting as your bodyguard, and that's final!"
The tension left between the too was so thick it could be sliced with a knife. They both knew good and well that what the assassin had said was true, but that didn't make it any less painful. For one, Aka had grown to treasure the young girl in spite of her constant insolence, and Meral was pained to hear it in such a frank, outright manner from the person she cared most about.
"Good bye Meral. I'll leave first thing in the morning."
