It's Not that Bad to be an Assassin

Chapter 9 : It's Such A Beautiful Night

    The elevator was still going up with me and Asahi in it. Indeed yes, I did say once at my school I was 17, but unfortunately I lied. I am actually 13 and it's true. I lied about my age because I knew it would be simply amusing when I tell some people and they would look very shocked that I am very young. The elevator finally stops and the doors open up. Asahi walks out first and I follow him behind. He began to walk towards the loud occupied section of the Ashikaga Company. We then walked out of the building and stop in front of it. "If you're 13... Then why are you in a highschool?" Asahi asks me. I take a glance at him then I look at the sunset that was now forming into a beautiful night sky. "Because..." He looks at me. "Because what, Ariel?" I look at him with a serious gleam in my eyes. "I am really smart, Smarter than you, and the principal in Ayumu Ashikaga Highschool let me go here because of my knowledge. It looks like you got in because of your family orientation and wealth but not your intelligence." He stares at me, hurt but angry. "What!? Why do you have to be so mean all the the time?! *Cries* How did you even become that smart anyway?! *Whines*" He stomps and cry's around like a child. "Well, I'm just simply better than you." I start to walk home, knowing that I have a Assassination job to do. I already planned out the things I'm going to do to get inside the mansion. Where did he say the mansion was... To the left... Assuming... I hear Asahi's foot steps behind me. He was obviously trying to catch up to me. "So what exactly is the plan, Ariel?" He asks breathlessly. I stop in my tracks and take out my phone. I didn't mention it before, but I bring my phone everywhere with me. No matter what. I quickly go to a map in my phone and search Sojiru Shaito's Mansion.
Then a picture of his mansion and the coordinates of it pop up. "Bingo." I say to myself, as if Asahi wasn't even here.
"Hey! Stop ignoring me!" I walk in the direction my house was in. Through a park and on a side walk. From my knowledge I believe it's going to take 25 Minutes to walk all the way to Sojiru's mansion from my house. I have a car, but my car looks to luxurious and it may give away my cover if someone from the Sojiru Mansion sees it. "Hey! Where are we going!? Why are you just walking away?! Did you say you have a car?! YOU CAN DRIVE?!" "Do you ever stop talking Asahi? You're annoying me." "I would stop talking if you would tell me what you're doing and what the plan is!" He pulls my arm and turns me to him. There for, we're now in the middle of the park when it is now dark out. "Alright, fine. The plan is what you want to know, correct?" He nods angrily. "Right now we're going to my house so I can disguise myself as a hopeless, poor, homeless little girl. I'm doing this because of my plan."
Asahi nods, ushering me to go on. "Since I'm going to do this in 3 days. My plan is to go to their house today and show I'm in need of help. Day 1 which is today, seeing that I'm in need for shelter and how absolutely adorable I am, they will most likely let me stay in their home." Asahi cringes on how I complimented myself. "On Day 2 I am slowly going to get along with Sojiru Shaito's daughter and after that I am going to try and find out information on the Yūdaina Daiyamondo, where their keeping it. On Day 3 I am simply going to ask his daughter to come with me to play outside, away from her mansion. Then from there I will kill her. You will actually secretly spy on me from afar to know the place I will kill her at. Make sure to bring a head fitting bag with you. I will call you when I actually kill her." He nods, I can tell, making that thought stay in his head. "I will pretend as if I saw her dead and run in her mansion crying, telling everyone there." "Uh... Ariel?" "Yes, Asahi?" "What if this plan doesn't work?" He looks worried as he says this. "I will worry about that. For now, let's go to my house." He nods, not complaining any further, and we continue walking to Mi Kasa. "Ariel, why do you want information on the Yūdaina Daiyamondo?" "I simply am just interested. There is really nothing else to it." he looks at me not convinced, and back at where we were walking to. Soon we arrive at my house, which was literally all white. "Wow." "What, is there something wrong with my house?" "No No. Not at all... It's just... I thought your house was going to be more depressing." I look at him questioningly. "Yah know! Because your all like I'm Ariel Retrieval and I'm sooo Emo. I sit all the way in the back of the classroom and I look like I hate everything. I like nothing but dark purple cuz that's all I wear. I literally have NO EMOTIONS." he laughs right after his little impression of me. I turn around, quickly restraining myself from tearing him limb from limb. I walk up to my house door and take out my keys, unlocking my front door. I go in my house and gesture him to come in. He walks into my house, peeking into every room and piece of furniture. I wait for him to stop exploring my house and lead him to my room. "You have a pretty neat house Ariel!" Asahi says happily looking at everything in my room now. The walls of my room are white and I have a dark purple carpet. My bed has a fluffy dark purple blanket neatly fixed on my white bed. Asahi throws himself on my fluffy bed and practically cuddles with my blanket. "Oh~ your bed is so fluffy and warm~" he says cuddling with it some more. "So Asahi, I'm going to need you to sleep over my house until Day 3 when you watch me from afar. Keep your phone alarmed for my call at all times." he suddenly stops cuddling with my bed and looks at me with stars in his eyes, "You're saying I can stay at your house for 2 Days!?" "If you consider today a full day since it's late at night already, then... Yes, yes I am." he suddenly jumps off my bed and gives me a big hug. "You are like... The mom I never had!" He says while hugging me. Ugh, physical contact. "Why do you feel so pleased with staying at my house. Isn't your house much bigger and nicer?" Asahi stops hugging me and looks at me with sad eyes. "My house is so big that it feels really empty and my dad comes home late at night everyday... Yah know... Because he's the boss of a big company and a Assassination Association." I look up to his face, because he is really tall. "In other words... your weak and spoiled and have nothing to do in your mansion if you have the time to sulk about loneliness." I say pointing my pointer finger up as if I'm stating a fact. He has a waterfall of tears now. "W-well you could think of it like that." I bring up my phone to his face that I was holding in my other hand. "Give me your phone number." he blinks a couple of times and then grabs my phone to put his phone number in my contacts. "Why do you need my phone number?" "You ask a great amount of questions Asahi. How else am I going to call you for my Assassination plan." Asahi nods his head now understanding. "Here." I give him a key to my house, "A extra key to my house, in case you lock yourself out. Ah yes, when I'm gone don't trash the house, don't open the door for some strangers and don't answer any phone rings that come from my house phone, understand?" I stare at him stern in the eye. "Alright mom! I understand." I ignore his statement and walk out the room going into my bathroom to make myself look stereotypically 'hopeless.' Let me just tell you... My method of this is very painful. When I'm done with all the fun I did to myself, I grab some random body sized rag from my living room and put it over me so I look stereotypically homeless or in need of help. "I am leaving the house Asahi! Don't do anything foolish to my room while I'm gone!" I then leave my house, locking my door behind me.

"It's such a beautiful night" I whisper to myself.
