Sorry for being so late. But there it goes!
Kira Mattaki!
One Kills For Honour, One Kills For Revenge
Chapter 2"You have improved a lot Rin-chan."
"Thank you sensei Kurenai."
"You're the most persevering woman of Japan my child. You already have finished your training in least than two years Rin."
"Maybe because I have the best teacher."
"Stop flattering me Rin, you're the best student."
"Thank you tatsujin."
Kurenai gave a scroll to Rin and Rin carefully took it in her thin and pale hands.
"This scroll contains your first mission my ko. Read it carefully and then burn it. Never…"
"Let some clues for the enemy, I know sensai."
Kurenai smiled. Rin was a perfect ninja. Kurenai's husband, Koji, always had a good intuition. She waited until Rin finished reading.
"Who's our daimyou, sensei Kurenai?"
"A powerful lord my dear, maybe if you succeed in many missions you will have the honour to meet him. For my part I only saw him twice in private with my husband. He's special and icy but he is a good and just lord. You're working for the right lord Rin."
"I'm happy to hear it, but why did a hanyou like you work for a human lord?" Rin asked to Kurenai.
Kurenai stopped and thought. She could not say to Rin that she will work for a taiyoukai, she will kill her right now. Kurenai stayed silent. Rin should never know it. So, they will never met? She hoped so. What will Rin do if she knew that Sesshoumaru was the leader of the massacre of Rin's village, she will try to kill him. She cannot let Rin do such a thing.
"This is my choice Rin-chan. No more discussion about this matter. Now, leave and accomplish your task Rin-koi."
"Right sensai."
Rin bowed in front of Kurenai and the half-breed went out of the room. Rin went to the fireplace in the middle of the room and she threw the scroll in it. She watched it burn. Could her life be happier one day? She sighed and she went outside the wooden house. She had already pack her things in a small bag and her weapons were attached on her leather belt. She had a sharp katana and two short blades.
She walked into the forest. The moon was already in the sky she was in a quarter and Rin tanks it to be able to see where she was walking. The castle that she had to infiltrate was near the wood. It was a kingdom in the South. She had to take the life of five demons and three humans. She will be busy for at least the whole night. So, she began to run.
Rin was running and she was lost in her thoughts. Will she be able to see her murderer one day, will she be able to make him pay? She wanted to, but she cannot remembered him at all. She only remembered his black hair and his strange weapon.
"Patient Rin, you will find him one day." She said to herself.
After a good hour of running, Rin stopped and saw the old and ruin castle. Did anyone was living there? She wondered. She waited for a sign of life and she saw two moving flames walking around the castle. A ruined castle guarded? Rin smiled.
When the area was clear she went into the castle and she entered by a window of a room. When she looked into the room, she saw a sleeping form. She remembered a part of the scroll.
Kill a human with brown hair with a big scar on his left cheek. His name is Suetake.
In fact, the human had short brown hair that showed his big scare. Rin took one of her blade and she cut his throat. No sound came from the man but she had sensed his tensed body. One done, nine to do.
She silently opened the door room and looked at both side. Nothing. She continued her chase in the ruined castle. Another bedroom came to her view. She entered without being viewed. Another sleepy man.
Kill a human with one inch black hair and he always wear a bandeau on his forehead. The colour is red.
She took the same blade and she pierced the guy's neck touching the aorta. He died in few second. Blood had entered in his lungs. She took a clean piece of the sheets and she cleaned her blade. Height to go.
She saw a little trap in the ceiling and she pushed the panel. This was a secret passage that brought her on the top of each room without being viewed. She had a so great luck this night. She saw her next victim.
The other human to kill it's a woman. She is the only girl in the castle.
Always in the shadow she jumped to the floor and quietly she walked to the bed. Tiptoe she took again the short blade and she put a pillow on her victim and she sliced her neck in two. How easy humans were killed. She sighed and she cleaned her weapon again. Five remained. She jumped one more time in the ceiling. Demons will be much more challenge than those three humans.
She heard a group of youkai speaking in a room. She went there trying to hid her scent from them.
A medium and red-haired youkai, he is from the cat demon clan.
A tall bear demon to assassin.
A short and ugly rat demon to murder with her mate, a rat demon too.
A white and black haired youkai to achieve, he is a skunk demon.
So, skunk demons exist! What the hell these disgusting creature leave. Rin could scent the skunk a mile away. She will have been sick but she had a mission to accomplish. She dropped a smoke ball and the room was filled up of smoke. She quickly jumped in it and she slice the bear and the rat demon with her long katana.
Where were the others? No sign of them.
Bang!
Rin received a punch in her stomach. She will have more difficulties than she had thought. Both demons could sensed her but not Rin, the smoke was everywhere. She heard the cat demon finally caught and Rin impaled him without hesitation. One in the piece remained.
"This smoke doesn't affect me little wench, you will need more agility to kill me." The skunk demon said.
But it was already too late. He had passed away. She was the best after all. She got out of the piece by the ceiling. She had to find the last demon and she will be able to go home earlier. Rin did all the castle and she did not find him. She decided to go outside. She remarked a stale near from the castle. She run silently there.
Rin looked between the horse and she found the last one.
A demon who looks like a real human. The only distinct mark on his body is a tattoo on his left wrist. It's a bird, be careful we don't know his real powers.
"What do you want human?"
Rin walked straight to the demon.
"I'm here to kill you, there are already six demons down like the three humans."
"For who are you working?"
"None of your business."
"Yes, it my business. Say from who you are working and I should facilitated you the task."
"I've heard that I was working for lord Sesshoumaru."
"So, he betrayed me. You are lucky young lady. I'm gonna kill myself for you, if Sesshoumaru wanted me dead it's for a good reason."
With this, the demon cut his throat and Rin saw him powerless. It was always more difficult to watch someone kill himself than be her or his murderer. Rin went to the demon that was fighting against the death.
"Say to him, that I'm sorry fooo…demo…on…yooouu…"
You will be recall for a next mission if you succeed this one.
Jaken, servitor of lord Sesshoumaru.
She looked at his left waist and she saw the mark. That was so an easy mission. Rin walked back to her camp and she saw Kurenai.
"You're soon my child."
"It was an easy task sensei."
"I will report your excellent times to our lord."
"Like if would care."
"Respect our lord young lady."
Rin stayed mute. Her lord had betrayed one of his people, the strange demons with a bird. What kind of person he was. Killing his own warriors, strange dude. She did not say any word about the self-killing of the weird demon. Kurenai showed the empty sit next to her and Rin sat there until the sun will appear.
Some days later the tall taiyoukai received a scroll from Koji's wife and he carefully read it.
Lord Sesshoumaru,
I recruited a young lady two years ago and I trained her to be a ninja. She is really impressive. She will be a great pawn for the destruction of our enemy. I know that she is just a ningen but she had the perfect skill and determination to kill anyone.
"She is just a pathetic human, why do I care of her?" Sesshoumaru coldly said and he continued to read the message.
I think you have heard about the shadow massacre of the ruined village. That's the work of my little protégé. She did all this mission by herself in less than two hours. I think this is a new record for human ninja. I think for demons too. I never saw such a thing. Please, give her an important mission, she will never disappointed you. I put my life in gage.
Your devoted Kurenai.
"Mmm. A life in exchange that's useless. A demon's life is much more important than a human life. Pathetic."
He let the scroll fell on the table.
"Koji?"
"Yes my lord."
"Your mate give me her life if her young ward failed, did you know that?"
"Yes my lord, I've ask her to do it."
"Why? You should have ask me before, I will have consider it before giving her life to a ningen."
"You will have never accept, my lord. But this way, you will surely think deeper on the great opportunity that you can have with this young girl. I saw her in action at the ruined castle. I've never see someone so good and skill for that kind of work."
"I think Koji that you would have put your head in gage if you mate had refused."
"Yes my lord, believe me, she is perfect for the North mission."
"I will give you my answer tomorrow Koji, now leave."
"Thanks lord Sesshoumaru, I appreciate it"
Sesshoumaru sighed. They were there, asking humans to kill human and demons. How pathetic. This war will never end like this. Giving to the ningen his own plan to kill his enemy. He was not sure. He had planed on it since two years and he had finally achieved it a week again and giving this to her! He doubt about it.
Sesshoumaru looked outside. The bright sun was in the middle of the sky.
"I wonder how she looks?" He said.
Chan/child, sensei/master, tatsujin/master, daimyou/lord of feudal Japan, taiyoukai/lord, koi/woman, katana/sword, hanyou/half-demon, youkai/demon, ningen/human girl.
I'll try to put new Japanese word in the next chapter.
