"Well, guess I'll have to catch up to you then little brother!" Setsuna told him with a smile as she waved him on to follow him. "C'mon though. While you wait for your information we should stick by Aki."

"Yeah, how's he doing by the way? I was pretty worried about him, that fall looked pretty bad."
-
"He's out cold." Setsuna told him. "Let's head to the house. He's sleeping there. The mistress gave us three a day off today. Well, except you I guess."
-
"Alright, be sure to watch over him while I'm out yeah?"
-
"Of course, Zane. I already do that whether you are on a mission or not!" She told him. "But we should check on him still."
-
"Yeah, gotta make sure he's gonna be ok and all. Have you ever had a contract before?"
-

-
"Right, sorry. So does the money for the contract go to us or the leaders?"
-
"The mistress and the Master get the money." Setsuna told Zane as she pulled open the door. "That's just how it is."
-
He let out a light sigh as he walked inside, and took off his shoes by the door. "Dang, I was hoping we could earn extra money that way. We assassins really have it hard huh?" He asked Setsuna.
-
"Ya. We do." The entered the home and Setsuna and Zane walked up the stairs. Zane's sister walked down the thin hallway till she reached the door on the end. She opened it up which allowed Zane to look inside and see the small room. There was a bed, a desk, and a box of clothes. Aki lay on his bed, his eyes shut and his stomach rose up and down slowly.
-
"Man, I swear he sleeps harder then I do....He's gonna be ok right?"
-
"Ya. Nothing major." Setsuna said. "He should be good to go in a day or so."
-
"So when I get back he should be awake. That's good, he'll be so exited that two of us are working now." He went to sit down next to his brother, and rested his head on the bed.
-
"Ya. I guess-" Suddenly the door to the room opened. The Mistress was in the doorway and she looked at Zane. "Time to go Zane." She said briefly and sternly. Setsuna let out a breath as she looked at her brother.
-
He went and hugged his sister, then took off his necklace and placed it around his brothers neck. The necklace contained a picture of him and his siblings, back in a happier time. "Yes mam." He got up and went to follow the mistress.

Then, he saw his brother begin to bleed across the bed. His neck, face and arms all became liquid with crimson as Setsuna was shot with an arrow that seemed to come from the ceiling. Then, the door shut, and everything went black. [spoiler]end of chapter 30[/spoiler]
