Prologue

Prologue:

...A rainy night where the darkness covered the whole alley. The boy was out of breath from running to escape his pursuers....

"Hmmp—" He said before being pulled by a woman, younger than him and her hands and clothes were full of blood. He felt fear because he couldn't quite figure out if the girl who pulled him was an ally or an enemy.

"Are you alright?" the girl asked in a low voice. They both stared at each other for a few seconds, and then he answered.

"Y-yeah." He answered. He stared at the woman. His eyes are emotionless and full of sadness.

"Who are you? Why did you save me?" he asked bravely. The girl only replied with a silly smile then he put her to sleep by hitting her on the back of his neck.

...The girl picked him up and they hid inside the abandoned house....

"Where is he?! Search every alley. He can't escape!" shouted the Man who was chasing them.

"You are pitiful, you're their target now." The girl said in her mind. He watched all night and waited for the boy to wake up.

...After an hour, the boy was finally awake. He looked at his surroundings and looked at the girl....

"Who are you? Why did you save me?" he asked, making the girl laugh.

"Why are you laughing? Do you know that I almost died?!" he shouted angrily.

"It's nothing, I'm just laughing because you're scared. I'm Mira, the leader of the assassination first class" she introduced.

"I'm Sugawara, thank you very much for helping me." he said bowing to show his gratitude and respect.

"No need to be formal. Thank you is enough." Mira replied for his action.

...Suddenly Mira's face became serious which caused Sugawara to feel fear....

"Why are those people chasing you? How did they catch you?" she asked one after the other. Sugawara did nothing but answer those questions because he was afraid that she might hurt him.

"They saw me wandering around the market. I was lost at the time because I was separated from my mother and there happened to be a lot of people at the time. They saw me and said they would take me to my mother, so I went with them, but they brought me here. The men chasing me said that my mother will pick me up, so I should just wait. I heard them talking about something and said they were going to inject me with something, so I ran away."

...Sugawara stopped when they heard the men chasing them, they decided to leave and go to the forest....

...They ran and ran until they reached a house. Sugawara wonders what and why there is a house in the middle of the forest....

"What are we doing here? Who owns this house? " He asked.

"I am the owner of this house. For now you will live here" She reply.
