Chapter Three

-Rayne-

The gun in my hand pulsed with energy, the kind you don't want to be hit with. I reach behind my back to grab my pistol. The color had changed as well so it matched the other one(they look like Death the Kid's twin pistols). I kept them down at my side ready to pull up and shoot if she were to make a move to attack me.

"So what now, Guardian Sparks," Guardian Ventus says her hand touching the string of her bow. I don't say anything but watch her closely.

"Rina wait," the voice I don't recognize but the face I do. He is Westly Barker guardian and friend to my target. "You're the ShadowMoon Assassin right,' I nod my head yes, "I don't understand why you would work with the aliens if you are a guardian." I don't answer.

Guardian Ventus says ,"She's not going to respond you know."

"I know." She gives him hard look and I take that opportunity to run. I quickly lose anyone who might have followed in pursuit. I let Guardian mode drop and the gun in my left hand disappears and the one in my right returns to normal. Baz is draped over my left shoulder in his favorite position.

"Let's go home," he mews in my ear.

-Rina-

I still can't believe she got away but hopefully that will change when we hire the P.I. from L.A. Guardians Investigators Co. Westly said after school we would go to their office and get try to hire one of them. I finish packing the backpack and head to school.

-Rayne- time skip

It's my birthday today and I get the day off from work unfortunately that doesn't count for school. I'm absorbed in planning for what I'm going to do with my dad and look up in shock as someone yells my name.

"Rayne," Kokoa gives me a massive hug that send a jolt of pain up my legs but I don't let my pain show as I look over her shoulder to see my dad. His name is Jerry Shadowstone he has really short blonde hair and his eyes are the same color as mine. Kokoa is a friend I met while we were in China and when I came to stay in America we started to write back and forth to each other. I smile and Kokoa follows me across the street to where Dad is standing. We start walking towards the apartment that my aunt owns talking about what had happened in the last year and Kokoa's eyes get big when I say I work for a Private Investigator company and she says how different it is from our old job. She and I used to work together as assassins her assassin name was Ko.S and mine used to be Moonstone before I changed it to ShadowMoon.

"Rayne," Baz yowls my name running up the block to meet me. I put him on my shoulder and he says, "the office just called saying someone has an interest in hiring you but they can only wait a few minutes before finding a different P.I." I sigh and keep walking but take the longer route to the apartment since it passes the office. My dad and Kokoa don't know anything is wrong and they don't know that I can understand any feline. I stop in the doorway to the building and look to see who the client is. There is only one couple in the lobby and to my horror it's Westly and Rina.

Suki stood up, "I'm so glad you could make it ." I nod in greeting tell Kokoa and Dad to wait for me in a whisper, and then gesturing to Westly and Rina to follow me. They step in to my office and I close the door.

Me:Cliffhanger

Rina:don't be so excited

Jerry:First OC is up.
