Okay. I finally sat down and wrote this chapter out for everyone. I don't think its my best but I promise the next on will be better.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything involved in this story. Well except for the story.
"W… What just happened?" Roxas said as Sora got off of the ground.
"Oh my God," Namine said, "Is he dead?"
"Yeah, Namine, he is," Sora said while trying to think of a reasonable excuse to avoid being found out.
"We have to call the cops," Kairi said, still in a haze.
"I don't think so," Sora stated as he took out his phone and started to texted, "How would we explain it. I think I have a better idea."
"Who are you texting?" Roxas asked.
Sora finished the message and put away his phone. He couldn't think of any goo excuses. He was going to have to tell them everything. Sora thought of how to break the news to them without freaking them out. To buy time he bent down and pulled his dagger out of the assassin's knee and wiping it off on the man's clothes. "It was my employer." He said, "There coming to pick up the body."
"Sora, what kind of employer picks up bodies?" Kairi said in a suspicious tone, "And why did you have a dagger?"
"Well… That would be because I'm an assassin," Sora replied and waited for a response.
"A what?" Namine said, her eyes were wide and she took a few steps backwards away from Sora.
At that moment a black SUV pulled up on the street. Two men wearing all black stepped out of the car. One had red, spiked hair and the other had black hair that was almost purple. "Hey Ace, I'm Axel and this is Zexion," said the man with the red hair. He walked up to Sora and said, "Looks like you've had a rough night."
Zexion walked over and picked up the body. Then he took it and placed it in the back seat of the car. Axel said, "We just got your message after we decided what your codename was gonna be. So I'm gonna tell you personally since I'm such a nice guy and all. You'll get a text message tomorrow confirming it, but it should be Ace of Spades. Ace for short. We just thought it would be ironic since you killed the Queen of Hearts.
At that moment Axel noticed the teens in the background. He drew his gun, aimed and pulled the trigger. Sora had just enough time to kick the gun up so the bullet went harmlessly over Namine's head. "What the hell," Axel said, "We have to eliminate all witnesses."
"No," Sora said defensively, "They're my friends."
Axel nodded and put his gun away. He walked over to the children and said, "Sorry guys but killing witnesses is just standard procedure, but if you hang out with Ace here you guys will be all right."
The three teens looked pretty overwhelmed. A lot had happened to them in a short period of time. Namine had actually fainted when Axel had drawn his gun. Kairi was now frantically trying to revive her.
"I think we should go inside now Axel," Sora said.
"No problem Ace, we gotta get back to HQ anyway." Axel said, "I'll have the men upstairs postpone your next mission so that you can explain the whole situation to you friends."
"Thanks for everything," Sora said. And with that Axel was gone.
Silently, Sora walked over and picked the petite form of Namine off of the ground. He walked back into the house with the others following. By now Kairi's parents were asleep so they were able to make it to Kairi's room without incident.
Sora sat Namine on the bed and slumped to the floor. He was quickly followed by the Roxas and Kairi. "So, you're an assassin," Roxas stated tiredly. With that, for some unexplained reason, they started laughing. All of the tension that had built up instantly evaporated.
After Namine woke up, Sora dedicated the next few hours to explaining his situation. His friends took it surprisingly well. A few minutes after his explanation was through they were even joking about it.
"You do know that since you make so much money I'll expect way better presents from now on," Kairi teased.
"You guys are gonna make me go bankrupt, aren't you," Sora said.
"Yes we are," Roxas said with a smile.
It was very late so Roxas and Sora had to go home. They only lived a couple streets away and their houses were next door to each other so they walked home together. When they were a block away Sora said, "Well I think the deal about Kairi should be postponed until further notice because of tonight's events.
"Deal," Roxas said and then stopped, "That brings up another good question. You kill people for a living, but you're afraid to ask girls out. That's a little pathetic."
"You know what? I think you should shut up." Sora said with a grin.
Okay thats all people. Hope you liked it. Please review.
