Ch. 2 Mission
"Nel!" yelled Karasu from outside my bedroom door. I looked to see what time it was. 4:32 am.
"Coming!" I yelled back, still half asleep. I opened the door to see her dressed in her usual sports bra-like sleeveless hoodie with the hood up, black short shorts, black fingerless gloves, and the traditional black ninja shoes. Her straight, black hair was brushed and rested on her back. "What do you want this early?"
"I want you to go on a mission with me."
"A mission? Who gets assigned a mission this early in the morning?"
"I wasn't assigned a mission by anyone. It's a mission I assigned myself."
"What kind of mission?"
She told me what it was. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" I yelled at her.
"Quiet down!" she said in a hushed tone. "I don't want to wake up Amaya. I'm not crazy! He's too power hungry! He needs to go. And the only way to do it is to kill him."
"Even so, we can't just go and kill him in his sleep. The village is guarded at night and he probably has ANBU guarding him."
"That's where you come in. You can control the spirit element. So you can control a person's spirit, right?"
"That's not quite how it works, but I might be able to if I tried."
"So you could just knock out guards like that, right?"
"I guess. But for now, let's say this really works, and I knock out all the guards. What are we going to do when we actually get to where he is?"
"When we get to where he is, I'll be the one to kill him."
"You're making this sound really easy, but you do realize it won't really be this easy, right?"
"Yes, I do."
"Ok. I guess I'll help you. Just give me a minute and I'll be ready to head out." I shut the door and got dressed in my assassin outfit which consisted of a gray sports bra-like shirt, gray short shorts, and knee high black boots. I put my long, light brown hair in a high ponytail. I opened the door. I grabbed my long sword. "Ok, I'm ready."
We left Konoha and headed toward Kage, the village Karasu is from. We were going to kill someone powerful. We were going to kill the Shikage.
It would take about three days to get to Kage, so of course we had to stop and rest. We had been on the move for just over a day when we decided to rest. We found a clearing in the forest and built a fire. We were sitting in silence when I thought of something.
"Karasu," I said, "if we can both use a teleportation jutsu, why don't we just use them? We could get there a lot faster."
"I know, but I don't want to just pop in on him and then kill him. I want him to know we're coming. I want him to feel fear. I want him to feel the fear the villagers feel."
"Right." Well, it doesn't surprise me that that was her answer. She is a reaper, after all. But we could still just go to outside the village. I had a feeling there was another reason she didn't want to use it, though. Oh, well.
We stopped a couple more times in the three days it took to get to the village. When we finally got to the village, I could tell it wouldn't be easy to complete this mission. There were guards on the walls of the village patrolling, at least twice as many as at Konoha. There were also a lot of guards at the gates of the village. We hid behind a tree.
"Ok, Nel. You're up first."
"Right." I concentrated on the spirits of all the guards. I attempted to knock them out like that. I waited a few minutes, but nothing happened. "Crap," I mumbled under my breath.
"Well, that didn't work. What are you going to do now?"
"You'll see." I slid out from behind the tree. I walked toward the gates at a normal pace. One of the guards spotted me.
"Intruder!" he yelled. A few guards came at me.
I dodged all their attacks easily. I called out some of the power of one of my three tailed beasts. My eyes turned red and my hair turned black. I grabbed the wrist of one of the guards and snapped it like a twig. He screamed out in agony. My lips curled up in a smile. I hit the back of his neck so he would pass out. I knocked out all the other guards, and then called off my tailed beast, Midnight. Karasu came out from her hiding spot.
"We need to move now," she said. We ran full speed toward where the Shikage was. When we got there, the building was surrounded by guards. They all attacked at once. There had to be at least 50 of them. Karasu and I defeated them easily. We moved inside and fought off more guards while making our way to the Shikage's room.
We got to the Shikage and saw he was still sleeping. How could he have slept through all that? Karasu moved toward his bed. She put her scythe at his neck. She raised it to kill him, but he opened his eyes. He moved faster than I expected him to. He moved behind me and before I knew what was happening he had a kunai at my neck.
"Don't move or I'll slash her throat," the Shikage threatened.
"I'm not worried about her," Karasu answered. I moved like I was going to do a backflip. I wrapped my legs around his neck and threw him at the wall. He went right through the wall and fell about three stories down. His kunai cut my throat and blood ran down my neck. I wiped at it with my hand. I brought it up to my mouth and licked it.
"Karasu. Could I at least have some fun with him and then let you kill him?"
"Go ahead." I dissapeared and reappeared next to him. I kicked him in his stomach and sent him flying. He coughed out blood. I unsheathed my long sword and slashed at his chest. Blood splashed out from the wound. He cried out in pain. "That's enough now, Nel. Keep this up and I won't be able to kill him." I sheathed my sword and backed up. Karasu raised her scythe and brought it down to his neck. His head rolled away from his body. I stared at his unmoving body.
We did it. We killed the Shikage. Suddenly someone appeared in front of me and punched me in the stomach. I fell to the ground and passed out.
There you go! Sorry it took so long. I hope you liked it!
