"Doing something important." Kaze answered disrecpectfully.
"Something important, eh?" the master asked again. "So important till you can't make it back in time for the whole day, hm?"
Another assasin stood at a corner behind Kaze.
"Seems like you'll never be punctual enough everytime and never seem to care less about your duty as an assasin hm?" the master said. Kaze stood there with a frown over his face. The lower half of his face was masked with a black piece of cloth.
"Sora!" the master said. The assasin behind Kaze stepped out of the shadows. He had an eye patch over his right eye.
"Beat him up as much as you want, Sora. He deserves it." the master said to Sora.
Sora just walked away.
"SORA!!" the master's voice roared.
He stopped. "What? You asked me to beat him up as much as I like. But I don't feel like doing it, so save it."
"This is your new ORDER, Sora." the master said, losing his patience. "You are to beat Kaze up till he wouldn't be able to stand anymore as his punishment for not coming in last night when he was called."
Sora reluctantly walked towards Kaze. If I don't do this, I might end up beaten up, maybe even killed as well.
"Sorry" Sora whispered. He used his knee to hit Kaze's stomach again and again. As blood spilled out from Kaze's mouth, he fell to the floor. Sora picked him up by the side collar of his shirt and punched his face twice.
"Argh!" Kaze fell to the floor again. Sora stopped. Kaze was nearly breathless by now. He couldn't even see things clearly. Everything everywhere was blurred though he could still open his eyes.
The master took a blade and threw it at Kaze just as Sora managed to push Kaze backwards. The blade sent a cut through his forehead.
"Kaze!!!" Sora shouted.
"That's that. Now get your butt out of here." the master told Kaze. "Come back tomorow night at 8"
"He can't even stand!" Sora objected.
"You take him out and put his at the gates and come back straight away." the master answered coldly.
***********************************
Amaya was walking to the nearby shop to get some food to eat. She passed by the way to the alley where she first met Kaze and where he tried to kill her the other day.
Maybe I should use this way, it's a short cut after all. She thought. Then she shook her head and knocked it. Are you crazy? He tried to kill you, you survived, and now you still want to toy around with your life?
"Oh well, I guess I'd better use the long way." Amaya sighed.
Just as she turned around to face the road she was supposed to take, she heard a snap from the way to the alley. She turned around and saw a figure coming towards her from a far. The figure was struggling to walk. Struggling to even stand.
Amaya gathered herself and walked cautiously towards the figure. The closer she went, the more she had this familiar feeling.
When she was a few metres away from the figure, it fell. Amaya ran towards it and the person fell on her shoulder. She slowly knelt down to the floor and turned the person around.
"Huh! Shiro!" she said under her breath, shocked.
