Chapter 3

The man stood slowly, as if trying to decide weather or not to retaliate. He turned to look at the two black clad teenage assasins, his eyes a bottomless pit. Kaiya tensed, her hand reaching down towards the hilt of her katana, just as Sanri's hand crept up toward her hidden sai. The man put his hands up in front of him, his palms facing them.

"Stop" He said, his voice the only noise in the unusually silent room. "I merely wanted to see for myself if you two were good enough to hire." Kaiya and Sanri exchanged a confused look, and the man pulled out a file, totally oblivious to their confusion. He handed the file to Kaiya, and she flipped through it, studying the picture given and memorizing his face. The man held his hand out to Kaiya as she handed the folder to Sanri.

"My my, I have been very rude" he chided himself "My name is Shien Urim, this man is—"just then Sanri spoke.

"This man is the owner of a business! Don't you think he'll have body guards?!" The man looked at her, his eyes annoyed.

"That's what you are here for" he said smugly. Sanri lifted her chin slightly and glared. The man looked back to Kaiya as if Sanri wasn't there at all.

"As I was saying, this man s a business owner, and his business is taking money from mine. I want you two to take him down. You will be paid richly." Kaiya nodded and stood silently for a moment, thinking.

"Alright" she replied "we'll do it"

After the man had left, Sanri and Kaiya sat on the couch, silent and thinking. Suddenly Sanri stood up and, picking up her kunai, opened the apartment door and left.

Kaiya blinked in surprise and got up, taking her katana with her, and followed.

"Sanri! Hey! Wait up!" she called out. When she finally caught up with Sanri, they were in the parking lot, Sanri opened the car door and got in, turning the ignition on and getting ready to drive. Kaiya quickly opened the door and jumped in, panting. She turned to look at her sister, surprised by her dark expression.

"Where are we going?" she asked, a little frantic. Sanri loosened her grip on the steering wheel and looked at her sister.

"We're going to get some new weapons" she replied before looking forward again. Kaiya blinked in confusion, then just leaned back in the seat, letting out a sigh as her sister sped the car up and zoomed down the highway.
