Witness this! (Tenshi)

[mika17]

Her eyes strayed from the book she held in her lap. It had gotten quite dark since she had first sat upon the bench located near the bookstore from where had purchased it. Her eyes took focus on the street lamp, taking in the variety of bugs bumping along the case. She blinked away the brightness in her eyes, and stood with a stretch. She plopped the book into her bag and slid it over her shoulder. Adjusting her black baseball hat, she made her way down the street towards her apartment.

She had almost made it to her shabby apartment before she noticed a metallic smell in the air. It was very faint, and it smelled like it was nearby. The streets were completely empty, which was unusual for a nice night such as this. She tightened her hair in the tie and made her way to the nearest alleyway. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she felt for the ladder leading to the roof of the abandoned building. She climbed it quickly and silently, swiftly climbing over the ledge and planting her feet onto the surface of the roof.

She followed the scent, curious as to what the source would be. It smelled a little too close to blood. Silently hopping roof to roof, she peered into the darkened streets below. Finding two figures, she stopped to peer over the ledge down at them. What exactly was going on? The smell started to get worse with the windy breeze. She squatted, setting her hands on the ledge. A heavy breeze came by snatching her hat from her head. It carried it down the crack of the alley and put a nice spin on it as it touched the ground near the men."shit.." She uttered in a pissed whisper as she took in the guys face as he peered up. She muttered another curse as she fell back. He had saw her. She hadn't wanted to get involved with whatever was going on down there, that was for sure. She got up, and hurriedly made her way away from that place, away from that man.

The night was silent as the red-eyed assassin confirmed his kill, making sure the target was not only dead, but was dead in the manner specified by his boss. The man was not bothered by the strong smell of blood in the air, rather, he took it in as one might a rose or a nice perfume as he looked over the victim's stab wounds. Satisfied, he dispersed the blade of darkness that covered his left hand and called it in. "Kill confirmed. Can't believe that idiot thought she could just turn her coat and go on with her life, especially with weak spellwork like that. Tell Sora-sama to get someone down here to claim the he-". Tenshi's focus shifted at the drop of a hat as he looked for its source. The metallic violet stripes on his face, partially hidden by the facemask he wore, almost glinted in the moonlight as his eyes locked on the girl who had been foolishly spying. "The progress of the witness shall be impeded by the edges of the roof. This imprisonment shall end only when my life is taken.", he quickly muttered as he raced at and up the ladder as fluidly as a breeze.

Her face smashed into the wall he had built before she had the chance to stop. She turned as she clutched her nose. She let out a small low growl, as she faced him head on. "Dark night hide me from sight." She gritted her teeth as a trail of blood dripped from her nose. Her eyebrows tightened together, forming wrinkles on her forehead. She hoped he was covered in enough blood that he wouldn't notice the new scent coming from her.

She felt a breeze pass by as it shifted her hair, and she took a deep breath. She muttered her next spell softly before the breeze passed. "The wind is my knife, slice through him with this breeze." She circled him, not wanting to let him out of her sight.

As he entered the barrier field he'd created with his spell, the first thing Tenshi noticed was that the impenetrable darkness. "Darkness is no impediment to the Peerless eyes.", he growled, not even bothering to get rid of the darkness as his spell rendered it useless to his quarry, "Scatter the feeble blade of wind harmlessly. Windbreaker.", he added, causing the wind to blow harmlessly around him. "So you're a Fighter. Maybe you'll be better than that traitor.", he noted as he kept an eye on her, "No matter. The only way you're leaving this roof is in a body bag. If you ask nicely, I might send a part of you to your family.". He paused to let the girl's fate sink in. If there was one thing Tenshi never allowed, it was a witness to live. "The speed of the Peerless assassin exceeds all other beings. Darkness, gather at my hand and form a blade ever-sharp and unbreakable. Ultimate Shadow Sword!", he incanted, forming a sword of darkness on his left hand as his afterimage faded and he appeared in front of Rin.

She staggered back and fell as he suddenly appeared in front of her. She lamely held her hands up over her head as she glanced up at him. "That is a nice offer of you, but it's useless. I don't have a family" She muttered. She rolled back, getting back once again onto her feet. She let the blood from her nose drip into her palm as she whispered out a spell. "Gather yourself into stars, sharp enough to pierce the thickest of skin and the toughest of bone." Her blood then turned into individual throwing stars.

She slipped them between her fingers and flung them with all her might at her opponent. "Target locked, I shall not miss." She hopped back, putting more distance between them. Whispering out another spell she created a small sword of her own, matching the strength and durability of the shurikens. She huffed slightly in effort, and wiped the blood from her nose. "You know. You don't need to kill me. I could...be of use to you. A lackey of sorts. Even if you do kill me, there won't be anything good coming out of it."

[Tenshi Reach]

"By blood assaulted, by blood am I strengthened. Vampirism.", Tenshi quickly countered, allowing the stars to be drawn into his sword. "Were you expecting sympathy? You'll find none here. No family just means fewer people who will even care that you're gone. What's that phrase American Death Row guards are so fond of in the movies?", he replied, his tone as devoid of sympathy as his words, "Ah, yes... 'Dead man walking'.". His eyes, as they met hers, were those of a predator ready to strike the killing blow. Cold, merciless, devoid of all save the singular intent to kill.

"Tenshi, you're running down the clock! You need to get out of there before someone finds the body, or worse, sees your spellwork!". The unnecessary handler's voice went ignored.

"What use is a stupid girl like you?", Tenshi replied callously. A small laugh emphasised his point. "Allow me to make one thing clear.", the assassin stated as he appeared behind his target, "You're not leaving this rooftop alive. You're going to die here. Unremembered. Unmourned. Unimportant.". Each of the last three words was accompanied by a slash of his sword and a repositioning to a different angle. His intent was to finish the girl as quickly as possible, then move on.
