Legacy of a Ninja(closed)

"I'll go with you. And another assassin would be interested. You seem to forget I am an assassin as well." She said as she stood up. "I'll get my robes out." Taking her plate to the kitchen she went up the stairs and came back a few moments later wearing her assassins robes. "So whats the contract?" She asked with a smile

Ronin rose from where he sat and stretched for a moment before he headed for the stairs to gather his own gear. "We're to tail and kill a merchant who said he was a free agent but has been believed to be consorting with the Templars," he said, heading for his room and coming out of it making sure every bit of his robes were in place before he headed for the door. "I'm to kill the merchant and the Templar he's been speaking with. It'll be tricky, though. We have to stay in the shadows while tailing the merchant, otherwise he could alert the Templar and we could lose them both."

Even though he was sounding like the leader of a team, in truth, Ronin despised working as a team with someone else. He was used to travelling the shadows alone, but he couldn't say no to this hacker. With a deep breath, Ronin opened the door and, as he crossed the ground to where his car was hidden, flung up his hood over his black hair and, with the other hand, moved his mask up to hide the rest of his face, his eyes the only things visible now.

Smiling Ava followed him to the car and got in. "Contract understood. Which one do you want? The free agent or the Templar?" She asked with a grin on her face. Besides her hidden blade she had four guns two at each hip and throwing knives around her waist. "Its been a long time since I have done a contract."

Ronin started the car and began to back out of the driveway. "Templar," with the single word came a mountain of venom. He seemed to have a pure, burning hatred toward the Templars. Soon enough, the car was rolling down to town at a slow pace, as though he were about to drop it off somewhere so they could follow on foot. "The merchant will be slightly overweight and wearing expensive clothing. I'll leave the car here and we'll find and follow him on foot. No sense in drawing attention to ourselves."

As he said that, Ronin pulled the car alongside the road, parking it and turning the car off while at the same time locking the power-locks. Then he climbed out of the car and carefully stowed his keys into a pocket before he shut the door and began to look around, his eyes focused and ears straining. He was using the Sense.

Smiling Ava waited for him to find the target though she to had inherited the scene from her father. She hardly used it as she had technology to help find her targets. "Lead the way my handsome friend. She teased as she waited.

Ronin's eyes settled on a store a little ways down the road. Slowly, he lifted a hand and pointed toward the store. "He's there," he said softly, quickly rushing toward the shadows and using them to slip beside the brick-walled building. He crouched down to the alley floor and peered around the wall, the light only striking his eyes so that they seemed to light up like ice. They were trained on the door to the store as he waited, muscles tensed, for the merchant that would lead them to the Templar.

Smiling Ava followed his lead and meet him by the brick wall. She waited patiently and had a serious look on her face now. No longer the look of the girl he had meet, she looked like a bonified Assassin. It wasn't long before there target stepped out of the store.

As the brightly dressed man began to lock up and move off, Ronin sprang upward, hauling himself onto the roof of the building before he followed the man, glancing down toward the street every so often to make sure he wouldn't lose their target. Every so often, he was required to leap over to another building and, once the man had taken a turn, dropped down and tucked into a roll before continuing forward, walking as leisurely as though he were just a civilian with an uncommon taste for clothes.

Ava had done as he had but with one small difference. Ava was not just a hacker but a genius with electronics. Before she had hauled herself onto the roof she had tossed something at him that hit him in the neck. It would just look like a small bug bite but with a smile she pulled out her phone as she followed ronin and turned on an activation. Ava walked with him on the street and smiled. "We can pull back a bit. I got it covered", She said as she handed him her phone which was now tracking the merchant.

Ronin chuckled at the hacker's genius. "You're a good Assassin," he said gently, patting her on the shoulder for a moment before he shook his head, getting rid of the Sense and planting a hand on his head as though he'd a headache. "Lead on."

Grinning she took her phone back as let the merchant get a bit more ahead the them to make him feel comfortable as she walked very casually after him. They soon found themselves at an old warehouse and with a smiled and her phone pushed a few buttons. "Here blueprints of the building." She said showing him her screen. "There re plenty of entrances but this one on the roof would be best I think." She said zooming in on the roof.

Ronin looked at the blueprints and, at her suggestion of the roof, gave a small nod and grinned behind his mask. "I'm used to using the roof anyway," he said and took a running start at the building, which he proceeded to climb, stopping on the roof to catch his breath and focused again, spotting two people within the building. "Good. They're alone. That makes our job much easier."

Smiling Ava quietly climbed down, using the pipes alone the ceiling until he was above the merchant. Smiling she looked up and nodded for him to come join her. She just had to land correctly and where she was, was perfect for a kill. Whispering she said. "When ever your ready."

Ronin made his way down and crossed from the pipe over to a beam that ran parallel to the floor a little lower down. He crept along it, crouched low. Once he was in a position to kill the Templar, he twisted around and gave a tiny nod of his head. He flexed his wrist and tensed his muscles, his gaze returning to the Templar below.

When the Templar began to speak, Ronin launched himself off the beam, arm raised high. His weight crashed into the Templar and they both struck the ground. By the time the man's back hit concrete, Ronin's hidden blade plunged deep into his neck, severing an artery and the man's voice box. There he crouched, hand grasping the man's shoulder with the hidden blade buried in his throat. Slowly, Ronin pulled the hidden blade free, blood fountaining up into the air and coating the blade up to the hilt.

Ronin relaxed his wrist, the blade returning to its place beneath his arm with a wet schlink. His eyes never left the dead body and he breathed out a few words. "May you be unburdened in the next life. Rest in peace." It was barely audible and Ronin straightened up some more.

At the same time Ava jumped down, landing with Ronin as she plunged her blade deep into the mans neck where the tracker was. Her blade completely destroyed the device, leaving no evidence behind. Once she was sure he was dead she made a cross over herself. "Rest in peace..." She said as she stood up and retracted her blade. Turning towards him she nodded. "Contract complete." She said as she leaned down to close the mans eyes.

Ronin gave a stiff nod and looked around for a moment, his eyes focused as he searched the area outside of the warehouse. "We should leave the same way we got here," he said softly, looking up to the open window in the ceiling. Quickly, he began to climb shelves until he could leap onto the beam he'd used to kill the Templar. "The Templar's friends will notice he's gone in a few days and will come looking for him. We should be long gone by then."

Ava followed his way up and out the window before looking back. Quickly she climbed down off the building and waited for him to meet her on the ground. "Long gone?" She asked with an arched brow. "Are you planing on moving us somewhere?" She hopped it would be to a new cabin and not to the assassins. The master would call her father...

Ronin gave a laugh as he slipped out the window and made his way down the building, landing into a roll which brought him closer to her side. He straightened up as he spoke. "I meant long gone from this location, Ava," he said, shaking his head for a moment. "We will both have to stay out of town for a week or two, just so we're not caught in the crossfire between the Templars. Come! Let's get home to some well deserved lunch!"

Grinning she followed him. "I'm always up for your cooking." She said as she moved beside him. "Your going to have to give me some of your recipes." She truly did love his cooking and had to say it was much better than her own mothers. Though she would never tell an assassin like her mother something like that because her mother could still probably knock Ava on her back.

Ronin gave a soft chuckle and shook his head as he made his way back toward his car. "They're just recipes that I've picked up over the years," he said softly. "Many came from my adopted family or the internet."

Well your an amazing cook my friend." She said as she made his way back to the car. "Hey... race you back to the car." She said before she bolted off running, a smile on her face. "Go!" She said once she had her head start.

"No fair!" He shouted after her, picking up speed. Ronin raced through the streets, leaping up onto a rooftop, as was his custom. He always ran faster over the roofs than he did on the streets. He could faintly see his car up ahead and grinned, glancing down at where Ava was.

Smiling Ava leaped up onto the roofs of parked cars and raced over the tops with a grin. She was neck and neck with Ronin. She was only a few yards away from the car as she looked up at him. At this rate it would be a tie.

Ronin grinned and looked ahead for a moment. He was coming to the edge of the roof. He bunched his muscles, ready to spring. As the edge drew under his feet, Ronin sprang from the roof, landing on a slanted one from which he began to slide down. The second his feet hit the ground, Ronin fell into a roll and ended up near the hood of his car, which he tagged with a hand as he straightened up from his kneeling position. "Ha!" He laughed, panting as he pulled out his keys to unlock the doors.

Ava skidded to a stop, smiling and laughing. "Well second place it is for me." She said as she leaned agents the car to catch her breath. "Bloody hell your one good opponent." She panted before waiting for him to unlock the car doors.
