Discovery~

a picture of Ricardo was the one detail that stuck out to Yoko.

"why would Jason of all people have a picture of him?" Yoko paced around her room. she looked off to the side- her eyes met with a photo she had of Jin and herself when they were younger.

10 years ago~

current location: Kyoto, Japan

It had just suddenly struck her- "oh my god" Yoko said in broken English, she had yet to master the second language at this point, unlike Jin who seemed to understand it very easily.

Yoko continued the rest of her sentence in Japanese- "Jin! hasn't it been a decade?" she asked as Jin was putting his pistols in their holster "hmm? a decade since what?" Jin asked as he began organizing the rest of his weapons.

"you know! since we started this whole gig-" "the killin people stuff~" She said with a slight smirk. "yeah I guess you're right-" Jin looked off to the side a bit "sometimes I wish we could've been given a normal life"

(art of sabrina and brock curtosy of my friend Monty~)

Jin and Yoko never had the chance to choose a life for themselves- 2 years after their parents had them, they had given them away almost immediately.

Jin had no memory of their parents and Yoko was too young to remember anything, all they know is who ever adopted them had a fucced up sence of humor.

the person who adopted them was a man named Polnareff, this man was the ceo of a company that sold thier "services" to anyone willing to pay an arm and a leg.

the service they sold was assassinations however they did it like noone else. Polnareff was ex military and had mastered almost every fighting style on the planet and he used this knowledge to gain alot of wealth which he used to start a business that specialized in training young gifted students to become top assassins.

Polnareff only trains young students who have extremely high potential but when he saw Jin, there wasent much potential for combat however he noticed the child's eyes behaved weirdly almost like the lens of a camera- they would zoom in and zoom out rapidly, without thinking polnareff adopted them both, originally he only wanted Jin but he and his sister were so attached that separating them would be impossible.

8 years after Jin and Yoko were adopted~

as time went on Yokos admiration for her brother only increased and her reliance on him went up with it.

"no no no! yoko! swing that damn blade faster! you'll never hit a target like that!" Polnareff yelled as he tried to demonstrate how to swing the knife correctly, Yoko looked down as she felt stupid for not understanding, Polnareff took a deep breath "ok fine, continue the lesson with Jin instead atleast hes learning fast" Polnareff said as he left the large room.

the room they used for training had mats littered all over the floor, it had mirrors on every wall, as Yoko stood alone in the room holding her knife a single tear ran down her cheek, that tear turned into dozens as she broke down.

Jin slowly entered the room- his eyes zooming in on Yoko- Jin didnt know why his eyes did that but he wasnet complaining, eventually he named this weird thing of his "Souk eye".

"oi! Yoko... did he get mad at you again?" Jin asked as he put his pistols down on one of the tables in the room. Yoko looked up at him and just keep sniffling and wiping her tears, "i- I'll never be as good as you, Jin" yoko said as she turned away from him.

"hey- that's not true you just havent found your style yet" Jin said as he walked a bit closer to her. "it's not fair, I mean you already have your weapon picked out" Yoko said as her voice cracked a little. "hmm? mr. polnareff hasent given you one yet?" Jin asked

"no he said I'm not ready for one~" Yoko replied

"oh... well ya know he does care about us... I mean he paid top dollar to get us back then and he just puts us under more pressure cuz he wants his moneys worth" Jin explained

"b-but I dont wanna be an assassin or killer or whatever" Yoko continued as her eyes watered again "I dont wanna swing knifes or shoot people or hurt anyone or do dumb stuff" She was about to break down again but Jin grabbed her and hugged her- she cried into his shoulder as Jin comforted her as best as he could.

"I just wanted a choise! I dont want this dumb life!" Yoko yelled

"ya know... he may not trust you with your own weapon... but I do" Jin said as he slowly pulled away from Yoko's arms.

"ok now close your eyes!" Jin said as Yoko covered her eyes with her hands. Jin walked off for a minute and came back with something in his hands.

"now... open your eyes slowly~" Jin said as a slight chuckle could be heard from his voice.

when yoko opened her eyes she saw her brother holding a long metallic rod thing. Jin pushed a button on it and a blade suddenly emerged from the tip of the rod thing.

"Yoko! it's your birthday so I got you this!" Jin said.

yoko seemed grateful but confused "really? for my birthday? we dont even know what our birthdays are!" Yoko said jokingly.

"guess your right" Jin said as he let out a short laugh

"hey! starting now! this is your birthday ok? well it's more of a you day! today is Yoko day!" Jin said as he handed her the metal rod

"someone told me they call that a bo staff~ I think it looks cool with you" Jin added

Yoko swung the staff around for a bit trying to see what she could make up with it. as time went on it began to be the only weapon she'd use.

9 years later~

Jin was walking through a dark hallway in an abandoned building. the lights flickered before returning the hall to complete darkness the only thing illuminating any part of the room was the sun setting in the background.

Jin kept his guard up as he walked, he took a breath in...

"... RIGHT THERE!" Jin yelled as he turned and threw his knife behind him.

a figure in a white plastic rabbit mask blocked his blade with thier bo staff, Jin couldnt see thier face but he could tell they were smiling cockily as they tilted their head to the side.

Jin rushed the figure as he pulled out 2 smaller blades with large holes on the tip, he spin them around his fingers before slashing at the figure with the blades.

the figure used their staff to block the first strike, jin used his other hand and thrusted his second knife foward, before Jin could land the hit the masked figure kicked Jin away from them and jumped back a bit to gain extra distance, they posed with thier bo staff by their side as they stood on one foot like a crane.

Jin rushed at them again this time even faster putting his body closer to the ground before thrusting his palm foward and grabbing the figure's staff and yanking it down.

the figure spun and went for a kick but Jin dodged it and headbutt the figure before kicking them in the chest causing them to fall back and let go of their staff.

they were about to stand up but Jin thrusted the staff foward in thier face.

"looks like I win again~" Jin said as he pulled the staff back and spun it around with one hand as he ate his lunch in the other. all he had for lunch was a sandwhich.

The figure took their mask off and threw it to the ground "damn, thought I would've had the advantage this time..." Yoko said as she stood up.

"you got cocky and didnt believe in your opponets strength- I didnt even use my 'Souk eye's' that's how easy it was" Jin said as he finished his sandwhich and stopped spinning the staff. he handed it back to Yoko.

~present day~

Yoko snapped out of her flash back to the sound of her radio buzzing.

"mizzzz~ Yoko!" the radio buzzed again "misszzz~ Yoko! come to these coordinates!~" the radio went back to silence before buzzing again "yourrr gonna wanna see thizzz~" the radio finally returned to silence once more and Yoko held it close to her mouth and was about to respond but the picture of Jin caught her eye again.

she put her radio down and grabbed her staff before heading towards the coordinates.

when she arrived all she saw was random people who had been brutally murdered.

"so private what the hell am I looking at?" Yoko asked her men

"these people ma'am they were murdered an-" Yoko cut him off

"yeah? so what deads kill people all the time what's new?" yoko asked

"yeah but usually when people are killed by deads their body's have been picked clean leaving nothing but bones"

her men continued "as you can see theres more then bones here almost as if they were killed for some other reason then simply food" .

7 days untill the party.....
