"Archer... you wished to speak with me alone?"

It was a shaky allinace between Archer and Assassin due to the fact that their masters were allies, but the simple fact was that Atalanta didn't have any faith that the Master of Black Assassin would stay on their side until the end. She wanted to speak with Gaara on his own for a little bit, if only to ensure that she could have faith in him.

As such, Atalanta did something that would get her in trouble with her master.

She raised her bow and pointed an arrow at Gaara's eye from inches away.

"At this range, not even that sand of yours can stop my arrow... Tell me, boy... do you truly side with my Master... or should I take you out now?" Atalanta didn't want to allow a single threat to her dream, or the life of her master either. His dream was just as pure hearted as her own, and his hands were unstained by innocent blood. Unlike her own hands, which had been stained by the blood of nearly every man who ever tried to marry her.

She was a murderer, this was just the truth.

Gaara raised his hand up.

"By this Command Spell, Assassin... you may never lay your hand on Master of Black Archer or Black Archer as an enemy." Gaara actually used up a command spell, and single the command spells were on his forehead, despite him raising his hand, a stroke came off of his forehead tattoo. Him using a command spell was more than enough proof for her. Gaara used his middle finger and drew a ring around his throat. "... if I ever turn against Naruto, this will behead me... and now my servant can never turn against you or him... is that satisfying?" Gaara had expected cold treatment.

Atalanta had always made one thing clear.

She cared for little else other than her master and her wish, and all other things were just current or future problems.

"Archer! BY ORDER OF COMMAND SPELL, COME TO ME!"

Atalanta was no longer standing in front of Gaara, instead she had been teleported to Naruto's location in an instant. She couldn't fight the teleport, and she had a blink of an eye to take stock of her current location and situation. For starters, she was not standing on solid ground. She was falling off of a skyscraper with Naruto and Jing Ke next to him, and considering they had gone to do recon, she could guess that he had run into an enemy.

He did.

Atalanta glanced up, and she saw the same Assassin from before falling off of the building after them. Jing Ke was using her dagger to block dirk being thrown at them.

"Assassin... she's back..." Atalanta extended her arms out and grabbed Naruto's hand. He pulled her towards him, and clung to her back so that she could summon her bow.

A battle had started.

Assassin kicked the glass out of a window and went into the building to avoid an arrow that pierced the side of the building, right where she would have been if she had kept falling like she was. Atalanta frowned at the missed kill shot, but Jing Ke went into her spirit form to go back to her own master. Atalanta used an arrow and stuck it into the side of the building, slowing her fall considerably so that by the time they reached the ground, they could just hop off the side and land safely.

"Retreat or fight?" Atalanta asked Naruto as he got off of her back.

Assassin broke out of a nearby window and started to attack, which on it's own let her know what she needed to be doing. Assassin ran fast enough to dodge her arrows, and hid behind a dumpster. Atalanta pulled back fully, and knocked the entire dumpster over with her next arrow.

"He's my Master!"

'She was just behind the dumpster!' Atalanta quickly turned around and saw Assassin, and in slow motion she noticed Assassin wasn't even going for her. She took aim towards Assassin, who was heading straight for Naruto. Her hands were extending towards him, but it wasn't in any aggressive way.

She let loose an arrow, that forced Assassin to change her course of action. She barely dodged an arrow that hit her mask, knocking it clear off of her face. She jumped towards the shadows as a second arrow was quickly aimed at her heart. Assassin kicked her own mask off of the ground and used it to change the direction of the arrow so that it bounced off her shield and pierced a brick wall.

She was hidden in the shadows of night.

With no way for anyone to sense her.

"I'm her Master, not your Master... do you want an alliance or something, because we can do that?" Naruto was willing to negotiate with her. He hid his hand behind his back and grabbed Atalanta by the tail, and gripped it hard enough so that she would know he was grabbing it.

Atalanta unleashed dozens of arrows at all of the shadowy areas that Assassin could be hiding in.

There was a tense silence, the area littered with arrows.

"No deals, no alliance... I want you to be-"

She came out of the shadows from above, but quickly pulled herself back into the shadows with a metal wire. She got nicked on the shoulder by a close call with an arrow that would have gone through her neck.

"Over my dead body!"

"That is a requirement, a Master doesn't need two servants." Assassin fully agreed with the idea Atalanta put out. As she got into the shadows, she dropped several smoke bombs. Atalanta grabbed Naruto and jumped up into the air just as the bombs exploded, and Assassin's blood inside of the bombs was turned into a gas that filled the entire area with her poisonous life blood.

Naruto grabbed onto the ledge of a building and held onto her, so that she could focus with both of her hands.

In this Holy war where servants couldn't sense each other at all, Assassin was the strongest class there was.

"Atalanta... I've got a plan, but you're going to need to trust me... and there is a chance you might die." Naruto whispered into her ear.

Atalanta looked at the poison mist down below, and she saw Rin and Archer, as well as King Arthur were on their way.

She couldn't escape with Naruto, not against this Assassin, and not when she was placed at so much of a disadvantage due to the area they were located in. The situation was just too bad for her to escape easily, and this opponent was skilled. If even one attack from this assassin were to touch her, she would be dead within minutes.

She was about to be severely outnumbered and outclassed.

"... What is the plan?" Atalanta whispered back.

She knocked dirk down with her arrows when they came out from random spots in the mist.

Naruto told her the plan.

The mist cleared and Assassin was gone, but that was when the other servant and master pairs showed up due to the fighting.

"No!" Atalanta shouted as she pushed off of the building and made an effort to escape.

Assassin threw a dirk at her heart, and Atalanta did a flip that caused her to let go of Naruto.

"Got you." Assassin couldn't be happier.

Atalanta disappeared when she was hit by the dirk, and though Assassin couldn't see where the dirk had hit her, Atalanta groaned and curled up into a ball around the spot where it must have hit. She started to vanish in blue and red magic particles moments later, and the dirk that had been used to stab her fell to the ground.

Assassin grabbed Naruto and dropped several more smoke bombs.

By the time the smoke cleared, Archer, Saber, Rin and Saber's master saw nothing.

-At the Apartment-

"Heheh... and just like that... Archer of Black is dead." Atalanta smiled to herself as she came out of her spirit form. She had several witnesses to her death now. She took off one of her gloves, which had poison on it and threw it to the ground.

She faked getting hit.

Then she took her spirit form, and the second that she took spirit form, Naruto used a Command Spell to teleport her back to their home back. Naruto might have been kidnapped by Assassin, but she wasn't going to hurt him. He would be safe with her, while she and her master would be able to work apart from each other until their trick got discovered.

Naruto used 2 command spells, but now they had a clear advantage.

People thought she was dead, so now they wouldn't be expecting her long range attacks, and she could work from the shadows to get things done. While Naruto worked with Assassin of White as her Master. they could get more work done on their end as well. With even more luck, Assassin of White would have kept her previous Master's command spells so that they could be transferred over to Naruto and refill the ones that he had used up.

'Now that Archer of Black is dead, lets do some spying on our so called allies.' Atalanta was going to be playing a role from the shadows. Naruto just told her that he wanted her to go into hiding, and act from the shadows. He gave her no clear instructions on what she was suppose to do, but she could tell that he trusted her.

Her trusted her judgement.

Time to show him that his trust in her was well placed.
