Hinoshi's Home...

Hinoshi walked into the palace in the Land of Dragons and went into his old room. "My parents were the King and Queen of this land...then they died 5 years after I was born....." He opened a chest in his room and saw his sword and Summon charm. he put the summon charm around his neck.

Ashley walked into the room, "Hey Hinoshi."

Hinoshi turned around. "Oh, hey Ashley." Hinoshi sheathed his sword in it's case and turned to walk out the door. "I'm going to the Emperial City, you can come if you want." On the way out, Hinoshi found his old armor and put it on.

Ashley looked around the room, "What do you need there"?

Hinoshi felt too heavy with the armor on so he took it off."I'm just gonna go say hi to the emporer..." Hinoshi walked out with a grin.

"Sounds fun?" Ashley sighs, "Meh, I'm so bored today. If I would have told my dad that, he would have said, 'You're not bored, you're boring.' Guess that means I'm boring then." Ashley laughs a little, thinking of her parents again.

Hinoshi gave out a little fake but convincing laugh and pulled out his sword staring at it as he walked along the path to the Emperial City. "Ashley...are you sure you want to come?" Hinoshis sheathed his sword looking kind of worried, even though it was hard to tell with Hinoshi.

"Hmm.. I don't know, I just don't have anything to do. Why, is it dangerous along the way?"

Hinoshi stopped and closed his eyes. ".....No.....it's not that.....it's just....." Hinoshi opened his eyes. "I can't tell you...I'd just ratehr you stay here....you might get hurt..."

Ashley looked at him, raising an eyebrow, "You sure?"

Hinoshi sighed and put his hands on her shoulders. "Ashley...I have to tell you this....." Hinoshi took a deep breath. "....I'm a hired assasin......I am not happy with my work.....but I have to do something to live...."

"I see?...I would have never placed you in assassin category, you never seemed like the type."

Hinoshi closed his eyes. "Well, I didn't really expect it either...but an upside, someday, I may be hired to assasonate my parents' murderer..." Hinoshi opened his eyes. "I...didn't think you would take it that easily..."

"Your parents were murdered? And what was I supposed to do? Refusing to have anything to do with someone just because of one thing is really stupid. Even though this situation might be a little different, but still."

Hinoshi started to walk again. :Yes...my parents were murdered....by who, I don't know. An that is why I didn't want you to come...I'm not stopping you, but if they see you with me, they may think you are helping me..."

"Okay, I see. So should I leave then?" Ashley asks pointing her thumbs in the direction of the door.

Hinoshi stopped and though for a moment. "If that is what you wish...it makes no difference to me..."

"Meh, if I do go, what would happen on the way?"

Hinoshi shrugs. "I could tell you nothing, but I'd be lieing. I could tell you something, I'd still be lieing..."

"Yeah, because THAT wasn't confusing at all."

Hinoshi laughs a little and starts walking down the path. "I mean that no matter what I say, I will be lieing, cause nothing is bound to happen, the same with something, it's something my uncle taught me when I was 12..."

"I guess that's true, but do you think anything will happen? Yeah, I ask a lot of questions, heh."

"To me? Maybe. To you? No..." Hinoshi pulled out his sword. "Not as long as I'm here..."

As they walk, Hinoshi's sword still in hand, a mist begins to form around them. The mist thickens untill it is a dense fog. Suddenly, a voice can be heard from the fog.
"I would put away that sword, if I were you."
The voice seems to come from everywhere. The two companions looks around confusedly. Hinoshi raises his sword, and the voice laughs. A slender body can be seen cutting through the fog. It makes a flip and lands in front of them.

Ashley laughs, "Hey Kairi, nice entrance, what's up?"
