AN: I just want to say thank you to the super nice reviews! You guys motivate me to write and I super appreciate that! (:

So here's the next one...

(PS) Sorry for any grammatical mistakes. Please let me know if you see any.

~Stone Heart~

The client had completed the contract. The string was untied. This was a particularly difficult case. A young child. A girl not even out of babyhood. Her psychopathic brother, jealous at the birth of his sister.

Pitiful cries filled the boat as it moved closer to the gates of Hell.

Ichimoku Ren sits at the end of the boat - the infant laid in his lap, still to weak to sit up on her own.

Ren choices to ignore the cries. It isn't hard, he's done it before and will likely do it again.

Though those cries are not easy to hear...

As they neared the Tori gates entrance, Ren's eyes fell on his mistress cold face.

What he saw surprised him. If he hadn't been merely a few feet away from her he wouldn't have noticed. She was biting her bottom lip. A small action. Nothing that should be of any concern or speculation.

But non the less it worries him.

Though he doesn't know why it should.

Let me know what you think. ^~^

I'm getting into this, so I may update again in the next couple of days.

Bye for now! (:
