The unpleasant task of disposing of the body of Thurian Vandorius was decided at random. Mai Yamada did not complain when she was one of the two chosen. Compared to the other Children of Obscurum, she had lots of experience with dead bodies.
She picked the obese man up by the legs; Alex, a burly man she didn't know well, took the shoulders. Most who didn't know her well were surprised at how strong she was…her slight frame concealed the strength training that she'd been doing since she was twelve.
With one quick movement she threw Thuriun's dead body into a large heap of dirt.
"I have now completed my mission," Mai said with an expressionless face. She got out a large lollipop from her pocket and started to lick it.
"And now it's time to complete mine," Alex sighed.
Mai turned her blank stare to Alex, "I find the taste of Lollipops enjoyable."
"Just as I find the taste of betrayal," Alex said, walking up to Mai.
Mai had never really cared about anything, so when Alex said these words her mind immediately went to the thought that her lollipop might be in danger.
"You are an assassin," Mai stated, staring intently at her lollipop.
Alex gruffly laughed and took out a grenade. "I prefer to use the word bodyguard, because I only work for the sake of one person."
"'Kay," Mai said.
Alex walked a few steps past Mai and then threw the grenade behind him. Without stopping to look back, he walked towards his car.
A huge explosion rang out behind him, causing rocks and dirt to crash against the car's windows. However, Alex could only think of one thing: Himiko Cybers. "I've been spying on them for two entire months now. I have to have enough info on the Children of Obscurum to gain Himiko's admiration, right?" Alex muttered to himself.
He pulled on a bright red leather jacket with a badge on it reading: 'Himiko's Knights'. He'd been a dedicated member of the fanclub for a long time now. With his new career as her personal but unwanted bodyguard, she had to like him a bit more.
He smiled at himself in the car's mirror. At the young age of eighteen he'd successfully spied on a secret organization. How could Himiko not like him? He took off his baseball cap, letting his messy black hair down and gave a confident smirk. When he crashed the banquet tonight, Himiko would find him irresistible.
Alex couldn't afford a hover car, so he was forced to cruise along the ground, banging his head to the 'Official Himiko Album'. Himiko's Knights was steadily growing in popularity among the residents of the underbelly of Neo Arachnis. To Alex, she was a pure princess who was one of the true citizens, not the upper class. Alex didn't care much for President Cybers, since he disliked how he kept his sisters out of the spotlight and sucked up to the rich.
His only queen was the gorgeous angel Himiko, who was his one pillar of light in the dark city.
"My Queen," he muttered under his breath as he sped towards the center of the city. "I'm coming for you." He was not invited to the party, but assassins had ways of gaining entrance into important events. And this was one event that Alex would not miss. Tonight, he would confess his love to Himiko and have her love him back. He was, after all, the most devoted to her. He deserved her love after everything he'd done for her sake.
