Web Of Lies (Finished)

The Past is Not What's Important

Star gasped and as quickly as she could, moved her head to the side just as the guy with green hair attacked. He missed, lucky for her. Star took this chance as the guy drew his claw back to suddenly lifted her foot and kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

The guy groaned and suddenly dropped Star to hold his downstairs. Star took this opportunity to jump into the air and kick his face. The guy fell backwards, landing on his back.

Star let out a satisfied smirk as she placed her hands on her hips. Her shadow crossed over the guys body as she glared down at him. "All right...Talk." She growled as she grabbed her dagger. She sat on his chest and held the dagger up to his throat. "Why are you attacking innocent people? What's your deal?"

The guy laughed, but then quickly tried to hide it. Instead, it came out as several snorts. "I'm just trying to get the attention of someone." He replied.

"Well you certainly got my attention." Star told him, pressing the blade closer. "But who's attention are you trying to get?"

The guy closed his eyes and rested his head against the concrete of the ground. He smiled as if he was dreamily thinking about this person. Does he have a crush on someone? "You see..." The guy began. "She's wonderful. I'm pretty sure I saw her in this area...But I guess not. She never did come."

Star frowned. "What's her name?"

Shad laughed again. This time however, he didn't even attempt to hide it. "Eh, I'm not really in a talking mod."

Star's teeth clenched together in anger. Before she could interrogate him anymore, she heard her name being called out from behind. When she turned her head, she was relieved to see that it was Jax.

Jax stopped beside them. He blinked and stared at the guy, before looking back at her. The guy, then her. The guy, then her.

"Erm..." He said, scratching the back of his head. "I'm not sure what to comment about...You taking down some dangerous assassin all by yourself, or you wearing a pink dress."

Star blinked, then gasped. "This is an assassin?!" She asked in surprise.

Jax nodded his head. "Indeed."

"Former, assassin." The guy corrected.

Jax sighed and rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache. "Oh really? I bet that's a lie, considering you tried to kill Ryo about a few months ago."

The guy smirked. Star could tell that he was trying to keep his cool because he was twitching. "I've quit." The guy explained. "I'm looking for someone who's a good friend of mine growing up. Her name...Is Kimi."

Star gasped and her eyes went wide. Star sat up and removed the dagger from his neck and ended up dropping it right beside his head. "Did you say...Kimi?"

"Yes I did." The guy replied. "Her and I worked together as assassins right? Well she left on a mission a very very long time ago...But she never did come back."

Star bit her bottom lip. Kimi...An assassin?! But...What was her mission? "What was her mission?"

The guy shrugged. "Well since I quit I guess I can tell you." He said. "She was suppose to kill three certain girls because our bosses wanted them dead for some strange reason. But anyway," The guy tilted his head off to the side and looked away from Star and Jax. "Since she never came back, I left myself and never came back...I was just searching for her, is all."

Star hung her head. Kimi was an assassin...And those three girls...Was probably Payton, Shiela and her. The question was...Why didn't Kimi kill them when she had the chance? There was so many oppurtunity's that she could have killed them yet...She never did. But why? Did she actually view them as friends?
