I'm saying this in every story that I'm writing right now, I'm saying it to my friends, and I'm going to say it in my profile, but, I'm leaving for vacation next Sunday and from there on I'm gone for 5 weeks so I won't be able to update. I'm really sorry so before I leave I'm going to try and update as soon as possible!

Far away from Luci, and far away from Wolfram sat a man in a large barren room. The room had large granite doors and it only had one lone desk sitting in the middle of it. Sitting at that desk was a muscular man with stressed gray eyes and dark red hair. He was sitting with his arms crossed and his legs propped up on the table, in a very vulnerable position. Even though his body was here, his mind was not, it was in the land of dreams thinking about some awful event that had happened only 7 years ago.

"Papa!" A younger Luci called, "Mommy and I have been waiting for you! What took you so long? The cookies are getting cold!" A younger version of the man sitting at the desk picked the little girl up and swung her around in a circle, laughing all the way.

"I'm sorry Luci. You know how daddy's the head of that big new company that just started up? Daddy had to go to the main office and make sure that things were going all right."

Luci smiled a bright smile, her rosy cheeks puffing out with pride, "My papa's a big man! He's going to help the company! I'm proud of you papa!" While the two of them were talking there was an explosion in their house that was farther up the hill that they were standing on. Cristaferd, the man, turned his eyes towards all the commotion. What he saw made his mind explode and his heart start pacing two times the normal pace.

"Stay here Luci." He said as he started to run towards the huge billowing cloud of smoke that had formed at the top of the hill. Once he reached the top, the sight made tears come to his eyes. Their house was afire and there were several fireweilding mazoku surrounding it.

One of them was standing over the dead body of his wife. HE was laughing and pointing at her and making crude comments. When the two men lifted her body up it exposed the dead body of his son. Christaferd grimaced. There was nothing he could do but sit there and watch, he was as helpless as any other mortal human. Luci! He thought. He had left her at the bottom of the hill. What if the Mazoku find her! He ran off towards where he had left her and when he got there she was sitting down picking the petals off of a dandelion.

"Papa!" she cried. "What took you so long?" She stood up and hugged him. "I missed you!"

Small tears fell from his eyes but he quickly wiped them with his hand. "We're going to live in the office Luci. You mom and brother are going on a very long vacation and won't be back for awhile."

Luci covered her gaping mouth with her hand. "I get to live in the office? Daddy's office?"

"Yes you do, so we should get going…"

The man opened his eyes and closed them again. A few years a research and a once good company can become an assassin's guild, all out to kill a certain family of Mazoku called the Von Bielefeld's. He clenched and un-clenched his hands. If only it weren't for them…

There was a nock on the door and a gangly man stepped into the room. "Sir." He said, "Luci is now in Herion."

Wolfram was riding on his horse. Yuuri was on one side of him and on the other side of Wolfram was Conrad. "Yuuri," he whispered, "Are you sure that you still want to do this? It's not too late to go back." Yuuri sighed.

"Yes Wolfram, I am every bit positive that I want to go through with this. We need to help our people Wolfram, there are people out there getting hurt even while we speak!" Wolfram hushed him down for his voice was getting louder as he talked. "Besides, why are you so against going there?"

"When some of my relatives came here for a visit a few years agosomeone made a comment and they went on a rampage. They killed a lot of people. I don't think that I would be very welcome there." Also there's some weird feeling in my gut telling me to not go there.

"Don't worry! You're with me, I'm sure you will be welcome." Yuuri smiled. Wolfram internally sighed. Yuuri was so beautiful and if it weren't for those shining black orbs and that brilliant smile he would have protested more.

As the two of them were conversing a train happened to pass by in the distance. A girl by the name of Luci Primas had happened to look out the window and spot someone who she feared. Someone who she admired. Someone who she hated. Someone who she was out on a mission to kill. A mazoku by the name of Wolfram Von Bielefeld.

"This is where we will be staying your majesty." Yuuri sighed. How many times had he told Conrad to call him by his actual name?

"Y-u-u-r-i! It's not that hard to say so please call me by it1 It is the name that you gave me!" He said.

Wolfram was sitting in the corner of the room looking out the window at the small town. There were barely any people about even though it was the middle of the day. Probably because of all the trouble that's been going on around here. He thought. Just then he saw a girl that caught his eye. She was exiting the train station, but she had no luggage. She was swearing and it was almost possible to see the steam that was coming out of her ears. She yelled something at the conductor and stormed away. Even though she was mad she was quite pretty. She had red hair and eyes, a rare sight. Not as rare as Yuuri, but rare enough. The girl was petite and very short, or it seemed like that from the windows point of view. Wolfram watched her for a few more moments until he could swear that someone was calling his name. He peeled his eyes away from the window and saw that he was face to face with Yuuri, who looked quite concerned.

"Are you alright Wolfram? I was calling your name for the longest time but you never answered."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just…" Saw a very interesting girl "Thought the view was interesting." Yuuri shrugged his shoulders but didn't take his concerned gaze off of Wolfram's face.

"Everyone left and went to their rooms. We're sharing one. You look tired, you should get some sleep."

Wolfram hadn't heard a word Yuuri had just said as he was looking out the window again, trying to find that odd girl, but she had disappeared. "Wolfram? Are you with us?" Yuuri said as he noticed that Wolfram's gaze was somewhere else again. When Wolfram didn't answer Yuuri sighed and went to the bed. He grabbed a blanket and laid it on Wolfram's shoulders. "If you're going to stay and look out the window, at least try not to get a cold." You could hear the strain in his voice as he turned out the lights and plopped himself onto the bed. "Goodnight."

"Hey give me that back!" Luci screamed at the conductor as he confiscated her sword.

"I'm sorry but I can't. A girl like you shouldn't be carrying a sword on a train. In fact anyone shouldn't be carrying a sword on a train unless they have permission from the government." Luci bit her cheek to keep herself from badmouthing the man. He's just doing his job. She told herself over and over again.

Eventually after enough pestering, Luci was kicked out of the train station. Steam fumed out of her ears as she stomped off swearing every swear she knew. "How am I supposed to do this if I don't have a weapon?" She mumbled to herself. Mentally she was hitting herself over and over again with her shoe. "If I go to a weapon shop they'll wonder what I want it for and then I'll have to give myself away. I'm not that good of an actress to be able to lie and pull it off."

"Psst! Luci! Over here!" Luci stopped dead in her tracks and looked around the road that she had come down. Crouching behind a fallen down barrel was her faithful friend Jordan. "I heard that you had some trouble with the train conductor so I came to give you some backup support." He said, smiling. Luci smiled and hugged him.

"Jordan!" she squealed, "How did you find me?" Suddenly her face became serious. "You didn't just come here by father's orders to make sure that I was doing the job, right?" Sheepishly he rubbed the back of his mouth and grinned.

"Caught right on the first day." He sighed. Luci frowned, and then a thought came to her head.

"Hey, if you're here would you mind going and buying me the perfect weapon for a secret assassination, would you?" Jordan's eyebrow's shot up.

"You're here to perform an assassination! What are you thinking! Who?"

"Yes I'm here to kill Wolfram von Bielefeld, on father's orders." Jordan sighed yet again.

"I guess I'll help you, I've got nothing better to do." He mumbled quickly. Luci clapped her hands and hugged him.

"Let's get to work then!"
