Onto the Chapter!

Ryou heard about the capture of the person who attacked Mira and the assassin. She had gone to tell Lord Muto after, but like the last time she had gone in, he wasn't there. She would have continually checked, but the white haired was getting suspicious.

The multicolored stains on the sheets were one thing, but now he wasn't showing up.

Ryou had to tell someone.

Yugi had decided to go alone. Despite how many protests from everyone, mostly Yami and Heba, she had stood her ground. Though she did agree to a guard, but managed to convince the guard that she wasn't in danger.

She knocked on the assassin's room, and was surprised to see Mira when the door opened.

"Are you here to see the assassin?" Mira asked.

"Y-Yes..." Yugi would admit it. Mira scared her a little.

"Don't question him too much." Mira walked past her. "He doesn't remember much of his past."

"What do you mean by-" Yugi started to ask, but the noble was already gone.

"Welcome Princess." The assassin said when Yugi went into the room.

"I'm not a princess." Yugi replied.

"Not yet." The assassin shrugged. "But it's obvious how much Prince Yami cares about you. Let me guess, he didn't want you to come here alone. He probably wanted to come with you, or not let you come here at all."

"Yes. How did you know?"

"It's obvious. If you're an assassin that is."

"..."

"So why are you here?" The assassin leaned against the wall.

"I want to know why you attacked me."

"Now who said I was aiming for you?" The assassin smiled.

"You weren't aiming for me?" Yugi was surprised.

"Nope." The assassin said. "You were just there and I missed my target."

"But who else would you have been aiming for-" Realization hit her. "Yami. But why him?"

"Well...he's the prince. I was paid. If he's killed, the royal family will be weekend... Should I continue?" The assassin listed.

"In the trial you said you didn't like your life-"

"True." The assassin cut in.

"So why didn't you stop after you weren't associated with them?" Yugi asked him.

The assassin gave a bitter smile. "There's no life for me outside of this. I was raised to kill. When I was first kidnapped, I was whipped for crying. If I tried to go against them, I was stabbed. When I could hold a knife I was brought on missions to watch people die. I was used as bait. I saw those people looking at me. Those eyes will haunt me."

"It doesn't tell me why you stopped associating with them." Yugi repeated.

The assassin looked at her coldly. "I've killed people. The first person I remember killing was a teenager when I was about six. I had no one else with me. The only person to blame was me. The ones that kidnapped me, would remind me everyday. I destroyed my humanity that day. I couldn't feel anything after that day."

"What about your parents?"

"I have to tell you what happened to them." The assassin said.

"You think you can go back to your family?" The leader of killers laughed. "Let me tell you this. We lied! We aren't letting you go home because you have no family! We don't leave witnessess. Everyone that raised, and loved you and saw you be carried away was killed."

"I-I don't believe you." The blonde child said. "You're l-lying..."

"Hah! No we aren't! Here's your proof!" A bag was thrown at the child.

The child looked in, and tears started streaming. He could barely look away from the horrifying thing in the bag.

Yugi covered her mouth with her hand. Hearing what had happened to him as a child, she didn't blame him.

"What happened to them?" Yugi asked.

"They died in an accident." The assassin replied. "One of their greatest assassins turned on them." He smiled.

"One more thing...why was Mira here?" Yugi asked. "She hasn't been close to anyone here, but you appeared and now she spends her time with you."

"I don't completely remember, but we're...childhood friends..." The assassin looked away.

"Really?"

"Yeah. After such a long time, I was surprised she remembered me."

"Maybe she likes you." Yugi suggested.

"No way." The assassin shook his head. "Even if she did, there's probably someone better than a lowlife killer like me."

"You aren't lowlife. The pharaoh would forgive you if you explained."

The assassin smiled. "Thanks. By the way, another trial is happening. Since someone attacked me and Mira."

"Oh. Thank you...um..."

"Allen."

And that's it! I'm not saying what was in that bag, but I think you can figure it out. Because it's not pretty. And some ship tease, and Yugi now gets along with Allen. Hope you enjoyed the happy moments. Leave a review on your way out
