Don't miss [Group Mission]

Post by Guest Mon Jun 01, 2020 7:18 pm

Beautiful music strummed off gentle hands made strong with practice. A refreshing voice cut through the musky dirt air of the desert. Fresh sake flowed as the boom of male laughter disturbed the crashing waves. A simple party was held, their festive nature a serenade to the bothersome sun. A group of men was drinking in a nearby establishment known for its beauty in both girls and views. The afternoon was upon them, the sun beginning its final call. Bitter that these plebs drank to his demise, it cast a last bit of heat upon the small village.

The party in question wasn't so important. Bunch of upstarts and sellswords whose recent success made them feel invisible. With the beautiful women at their arms pouring drinks and feeding them delicacies from the moon who wouldn't feel jovial and empowered? They sat there like mongoloid breeds of pig and monkies, their chests sticking out their clothes, sweat running down their foreheads. Disgusting really. They were all but mere men. The real deal was the man of the hour. A man leaned out by self-discipline and driven by boundless ambition.

He was but a name at the bottom of the list but one day he could rise to the top. His name was Hiragaya Menma, the one who had begun to unite the mercenaries under his own banner. Sellswords without any loyalties were easy to hire. If the one thought 10 ryo wasn't enough there were hundreds of others who would do it instead. Now, when they banded together, their services became more expensive. In the future, if their power grew, gold might not be the only thing they wanted. Their influence might grow and their demands become bigger. This could not be allowed, not from those without morales and their scales tipped by gold.

The room he was in was heavily guarded. Not only was his top lieutenants were there drinking with him but additional guards were inside as well as outside the room. Not to mention he was on the third floor of the brothel with each staircase being guarded. To launch a full-scale assault would be easy enough but this had to be an assassination. Create a martyr out of him and the mercenaries might band stronger together. Reveal who sent them and they might band against the Sun with their rivals.

Many options had been considered, poison. No, he had a food tester. Hitting him during his travels? He was a smart man, using doubles to travel between destinations. He was careful about who he trusted and never revealed everything. He was in a foul mood, rumors of him possibly being targetted by some group. He grunted at the girl next to him. A beautiful girl with yellow eyes, short black hair, and pink lips. She stood up slowly and left the room to get the man more wine.

The day had brought a lot of events for the desert, it had seemed, with the gathering of the local sellswords underneath a single banner. It was hard not to hear the stories about this happening, though most people had decided to ignore it, wouldn't be the first time some bandits had gotten some money together so they could enjoy themselves for a few nights. Of course, those who paid more attention new the potential danger that was starting to brew. A man like Hiragaya Menma, left unchecked, could bring together more men like this and in time be a threat that could even bother the village. Thankfully, the village superior's weren't completely blind to this happening underneath their noses, nor were they willing to let a chance like this to slip through their hands.

Earlier in the day was when Sojiro Sakura, a man who had just returned back to the village earlier that morning, had received the summons for the mission today. It didn't seem too hard to do, honestly, the plan he had started to formulate in his brain was pretty straightforward; they could stop him if he simply charged the place full force. If he busted down the doors and slaughtered the men, it may not look to good for it to be done in the village, but it would not only settle the problem but also get rid of a few bandits in the process. Of course, before he could even finish entertaining the idea, it had turned out that someone else had been put in charge of this mission. It wasn't like he was bad with taking orders, he'd do his mission regardless of who was in charge, he had just wished to get this done as fast as possible...

Of course, when he heard about the plan to infiltrate the manor to make sure it wasn't some type of body double first, he couldn't help but admit it was a good idea. So, he would listen for his part of the job and was surprised when it arrived. He was to decided on where to have dinner, at a restuarant that was within walking distance of the brothel. That was an easy enough request, seeing as there was a good BBQ place that was located just down the road from the location. That was where the man had taken up his post, the building wasn't too big, sitting on the road and the sound of chatter and platers moving could be heard from inside. The place where customers sat were on one side of a counter, their backs having the exit against them, curtains almost touching the ground being the only privacy they have. In front of the customers was a rotating conveyor belt that was loaded up with food as the chefs finished cooking. There were a few people spread out over the counter but it was obvious which of them was a shinobi.

There was a man sitting at the end of one counter who was watching the meat pass by with content ruby hues, thick lines underneath his eyes accenting their sharpness. His hands moved to grab a few plates before they could fully pass by, exposing his sharpened nails and the gesture of licking his lips showing the man's sharp teeth, as well. He looked bestial and a bit rugged, sitting on the stool with his bare feet pressed against the ring on the bottom so he could be comfortable. The man wore a pair of black pants on his lower body, ending about halfway down his calves. His skin was a deep, even tan that spread across the exposed parts of his body, which was a decent amount considering his upper body wear. He only wore a black Flak Jacket that was completely open in the front, revealing his toned and fit body that was beneath. Besides the symbol on the back of his jacket, another way one could tell he was a shinobi was from the red bandana that kept back his raven-black hair. On the cloth was a metal plate that bore the village symbol on it.

Sitting at the counter, Sojiro Sakura looked to be about 5'10" but that was mostly because of the slouched position he had adopted. He was told to wait for his partner to approach him and confirm their suspicions, so they could proceed. So, currently, he was just enjoying himself. There was a stack of dirty plates next to the man and he had three more in front of him that he was finishing. He wasn't eating like a slob but it was hard not to notice how fast the food disappeared in front of him.

The short-haired girl shuffled backward, her head bowed. Without even looking her hands opened the door behind her and she quietly made her exit. She weaved her way through a set of burly guards manning the doors. The brothel was full of music and laughter, the occasional shatter of a bottle, and the rumble of chairs. She moved through groping guests and laughing courtesans as she finally made it to the bar downstairs.

" Two bottles of Shiro-sake, Please." Her voice was soft and warm. A sort of timidness to her that resembled a field mouse. The bartender searched in the back and brought out four and she took them in a tray. As the golden-eyed lass moved back someone bumped into her, causing her to drop the bottles. It was a rowdy night. She would quickly apologize, on the verge of tears, thinking about cleaning the mess on a patron than her own safety.

Smitten by her fragile beauty another employee would send her away, urging her to rather get more sake from the basement storage down the block. Wiping her tears away she shuffled out the back door. She crossed a busy street and down a deserted alleyway, past another street, and into what appeared to be a barbeque place. The air here smelt different, smoked meat, ashy, stuffy, and with a hint of wet dog...

The short-haired girl approached a man and as she did she blinked a couple of times as if irritated by something. " These contact lenses dry up real fast..." She adjusted the yellow lenses that hid her red eyes. She sat down in the booth from across Sojiro. " Hello Sakura-san, I am Imino of the Yurei... Target is confirmed on the third floor, 2nd room. When the sun is about to set I'll leave the window open. It should give you a clear shot from the rooftops. The sun will silhouette you but maybe a disguise that doesn't show the village symbol might help." She smiled at him with her soft lips.

As the woman had come to sit at the table with him, he would not look up from his food right away. He didn't keep her waiting long for his attention, finishing the plate in front of him with ease and grabbing his glass of water to wash the food down. As she gave him the assessment of the target and his location, he would give an approving nod while grabbing a napkin, wiping off his mouth, and then his hands. It was then that Sojiro took the time to actually scan the woman in front of him, taking in the details of her disguise, "That sounds like a fairly easy plan to me, Imino-san." He would agree, as things were turning out, he was really going to enjoy his mission.

As it stood, all he had to do was sit around and enjoy himself for a bit longer before heading out to find the sniping position, "Good advice, I'll make sure to toss on some black clothing. Really look the role of an assassin." He would agree with her about his attire, it would be easy enough for him to grab something from a nearby shop before heading over to the location. As a particular juicy set of ribs rolled by on a plate, the bestial man would grab it and pull it in front of him, looking over at the woman. He'd blink, "Oh, did you want to have something to eat before you headed back? This place is amazing!" Sojiro would offer the plate of ribs to her with a perked brow, unsure if she was hungry or even a meat-eater but it was better than being rude.

Shizuka pulled a face, she wasn't sure if she should be amused or not. In stuck halfway, she smiled at him as one would smile at a weird albeit cute doggo. She had half a mind to pat him eating away at the ribs and then taking time to dab away at his mouth. It reminded her of a street show where a dog wearing human clothes was eating buttered peanuts. She shook her head, blinking to adjust the colored eyepieces.

" Id' rather not walk back in smelling like barbeque but... take this." She produced a wooden block. It was the kind that had people's names on it. This one in particular had a strange name on it. " It's a clan tag from a rival gang. If you want to leave behind a fake trail. Leave it somewhere on the roof....remember he'll be on my left." Disguises, deceptions, planning, observations, fake evidence it was all part of the game.

Imino would stand back up, picking up two bottles of Shirosake before returning to the brothel. She tilted her neck, hearing the crack. Wigs were sure heavy. She took a deep breath, steeled herself, and got into character. The door slid open and the small mouse entered again. She shuffled over, being her knees in order to sit. She showed the bottle to Hiragaya before pouring him a cup.

The afternoon would cool down, the words would be slurred and even Menma showed signs of being intoxicated. His face was red though it might have been from his usual foul mood. His head swayed from one side to the other and Imino swore she heard him hum a tune to himself. It was roughly about time, the drinkers were getting stuffy from being trapped in the room. So many bodies rubbing against each other, people were bound to feel the heat.

"Yes! That is a good idea let's watch the sunset." The men and women all chuckled and giggled their approval and a man in the far edge of the room went to the window. It was one of those huge sliding windows that gave the occupants a blast of fresh air. As the door rattled open, the outside air and inside circulated. The sheer amount of alcohol fumes and flatulence, one little spark, and everyone would have a suntan. Well.. the stage was set. Don't miss.

Sojiro would look at the woman as she refused the food and would shrug his shoulder, he had done his part to try and be nice. When she then spoke of the clan tag and everything, he would furrow his brows a little bit, "Really thought of everything, huh... Alright, consider it done." He would say, reaching out to take the tag and slip it into his shinobi pouch. She had considered all aspects of this mission and, in that moment, he was happy that he had only been brought on as a helping hand. This required much less work on his end than it normally did. So, as the Imino would slip from the building and go back to play her role, Sojiro would go back to his... Finishing the plate in front of him and letting the hours start to pass before he'd get up, pay his tab, and head out.

True to his word, Sojiro would slip into a general store nearby and head to the clothing section. It wasn't hard for him to find a black pair of pants, a long sleeve shirt, and a ski-mask. Of course, he grabbed some other clothing that made it seem like he was heading up to the mountains before he would eventually slip out of the store and into the street. He'd keep the bag with the items he wanted before tossing the rest of the clothing into a nearby trash bin, unconcerned about what they had cost him. It wasn't too hard to slip into the alley that was near the building adjacent to the brothel, slipping out of his own clothing and leaving it behind on the ground. The man pulled on the completely black outfit and had even bought a pair of sandals so that he didn't leave his footprints on the rooftop.

Sojiro had set himself up on the rooftop before the sun had started to set, having brought only a single kunai on the rooftop with him and twirling it for his entertainment. He was waiting for the window to open and, thankfully, he didn't need to use his eyes to wait for the cue. Soon the smell of alcohol and the sweat of drunk men filled the air and Sojiro knew that his cue was given, rolling from beind the air conditioner unit and dashing across the rooftop. He gripped the kunai and stepped up on the ledge of the building, looking into the open window and his eyes found Imino within moments. He wasted no time flinging the kunai with his full force, it tearing through the air with ease and entering the room. As it entered the room, the only give away that it had done so was a flash of light as the sun hit off it...

And then there was a gush of crimson, then a scream from somewhere. The kunai had found itself into the eye socket of Hiragaya Menma, burying itself more than halfway into his brain. Sojiro would stand there for a moment, so the guards could see him, before he would run away and disappear into the alley. Slipping out of the clothing and tossing it around was easy, making it seem like an amateur had done it. Once his gear was one, it was easy to leave the clan tag behind and slip out into the crowd, adopting his usual slouched stance.

There was a moment where the party went uninterrupted, the general noise and drunkness overflowing. Imino rolled her eyes, before she turned to the victim, drew in a breath and let out a blood-curdling scream. The party snapped to attention, guards entering, the guests sobering and the girls joining Shizuka in her screaming. They all stood there shocked and she couldn't help but notice how incompetent these thugs were. She pointed out the window towards a distant figure, clad in black.

"Over there!"

They looked at the assassin as he took a moment before melding into the shadows, disappearing with the last twinkle of the sun. The guards roared, telling more of them to chase a man on the rooftops. An overzealous drunk picked up his sword, ran out the window and over the balcony. There were a thud and a scream downstairs. Two things were sure, never drink too much and without Menma, these half-wits couldn't surmount to anything but bandits.

Many of the men left the room, the brothel coming into a new kind of life. There was no reason to lock down the brothel, the enemy was outside. Idiots... Shizuka would have surely locked it down, at least guard the body of their boss. The girls were sobering, some scattered to their rooms, Shizuka cut Menma's top knot and took it as proof of the job.

Shizuka sobbed, blending in with the girls fleeing to their rooms in the basement. Once she was in the clear she left through the backdoor. She pulled off a wig, letting her long hair flow in the cool evening air. She stripped off her colorful clothes, revealing her usual attire. Mission complete. She was out, the job was done.

Back at the village, she removed the last of her disguise, taking out the lenses and rubbing off the whore make up. The smell of cheap booze she'd have to wash off. She handed in the mission and proof, once the missions office approved they burnt the evidence of Menma's top knot. This was her first high-level mission. Though she herself didn't have to do much, she thought she handled herself well.

She had played to her strengths, gathering information, becoming a man on the inside, and making sure everything was going as planned. Perhaps, she'd start tackling harder missions from now on.
