Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Assassins Work

Three hours have passed since I was ordered to assassinate some humans for the Zenin clan, after entering a library. I have researched all the addresses of the victims and I'm currently outside one of their apartments. 

It's a four-story apartment complex. It is made of white brick. Green bushes are right outside the entrance to the complex. I'm going inside the building to kill a woman named Rin. She has dark blue hair and is around 5 feet tall.

She's in room 36 seeing how there are only 12 rooms on each floor that would mean she's on the third floor on the very right. I walk towards a stairwell made of concrete. I start walking up the stairwell until I notice a camera on the side of the stairwell. 

I'm still out of the camera's field of vision but it's a good thing I noticed it. I twitch my finger as the string wraps around the camera. I start infusing my curse energy into the string making it compact. The string shrinks slicing the camera off the wall. I walk past the camera on the floor stepping on it. 

I can see why my sister said this was a good weapon for an assassin. The weapon doesn't make any noise and is easily hidden. I walk up to the third floor cutting several cameras on the way to room 36.

Room 36 door is painted white and made out of wood. I stand directly in front of the door until the doorknob suddenly turns and the door slowly creeps open. The light from inside the room illuminates my face as I watch Rin walk out of the room.

She looks around confused until she looks down and sees me. Her face becomes confused until a happy expression covers her face as she talks.

" You must be the kid I am babysitting tonight. Odd how your parents left without telling me anything. "

Babysit? She must babysit for work. I just nod my head at her as she grins and grabs onto my right shoulder pushing me into the room. I enter a small apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and a small area covered in kid toys and a couch. 

I glance at the toys before I hear a quiet chuckle. 

" I don't mind you can go play with those toys. "

She says to me. I walk towards the toy and sit down next to a plastic dump truck. I start acting like a naive child by grabbing the dump truck and rolling it back and forth. But while rolling the dump truck I noticed a piece of paper on the ground. 

It's a hospital bill. I started reading it. She's thousands in debt. A man named Aoi. He's fallen into a coma. She's been paying for his coma for the past three years. That's why she owes the Zenin clan money. She borrowed money from them to pay for the hospital bill. 

While reading the hospital bill, I see a hand grab the paper and pull it off the floor. I glance to my left and see Rin staring at me with a sad look before a fake grin appears on her face 

"You're an observant little fellow, aren't you? "

She says in a nice tone of voice. I need to hurry up and kill her. The actual kid she is meant to babysit is surely about to come to this house soon. I take a deep breath before thoughts run through my head. 

I don't want to kill this woman but I have no choice. I can't kill my sister in a fight and even If I can, I can't kill the Zenin clan. I smack my lips annoyed as Rin looks at me concerned.

"W-What's wrong? Am I annoying you? " 

Says Rin holding her hands up trying to make me laugh. I let out a fake chuckle as I started tapping my right leg with my index finger. I-I never killed someone before. And I don't want-

Before I could finish my strain of thought a loud knock was heard at the door. I snap my head towards the door as my heart sinks. That's definitely the real kid she's going to have to babysit. 

" Oh, I wasn't expecting any more visitors. "

She says walking towards the door. I grit my teeth before springing up to my feet and dash toward Rin. She glances at me confused as I place my small hand on her thigh.

This is the most painless way I can think of to kill her. While training with my sister. She gave me an idea on how to use my innate technique. It was brutal. She wanted me to shrink someone's heart causing their heart to rupture painfully killing them.

I start injecting my cursed energy into Rin as she looks at me confused. I wasn't aiming toward her heart but instead at her brain. My cursed energy engulfs her brain until I compress it, causing a brain hemorrhage. I crush one half of her brain killing her instantly.

Blood starts leaking out of her eyes as she collapses to the ground. She falls onto the pile of toys on the floor. I glance at her body before taking a deep breath. I need to kill the next victims before they tell me about themselves. I walk towards a window. I slide the window open before stepping onto a roof...

The knocking on the door leading into the room didn't stop until suddenly a chuckle could be heard on the other side of the door. The person behind the door wasn't a babysitter but instead the sister. 

The babysitter was just a ploy. No one else was going to this house. She called Rin and set up an appointment for a kid. Because she knew her little brother wasn't going to kill Rin unless forced into a dire situation. She also knew that her little brother would come to this house first. It was the closest and the sliced cameras only confirmed it. 

She started to walk away from the apartment door with her hands behind her back and a cruel grin on her face. While walking away from the door she murmured something to herself.

" Welcome to the Zenin clan, little brother. "...
