Chapter I: Première Danse

(Just so you all know Pixie's pronouns fluctuate during the story as they use they/them, it/it's and she/her pronouns so I will be using all. Whenever there are scenes with more than two characters, Pixie's pronouns for those scenes will always be it/it's just to help with some confusion.)

Most people, anyone with common sense really, when offered the chance to be a professional assassin, exempt from all rules and laws as long as certain conditions were followed, would jump on the chance in a heartbeat. However, Pixie Albritch didn't. Instead of taking a once in a lifetime chance (or so she thought) they chose to continue the path they were already on. You see, they are a doctor, albeit not the normal kind. They specialize in magical cases for instance curses or magical side effects.

They thought that if they were to go down that path they'd lose all the progress they've made, especially with a certain patient in particular. Once they learned that wasn't the case they hopped on the opportunity as fast as Willows attach themselves to joy. So that leads us to today, three years after their hiring.

A tall red haired woman sat in a chair across from the multi colored Pixie. She had long tall red horns and a long spiked wine colored tail. "So, I know this one is a bit out of your wheelhouse but I think you can do it."

This piqued Pixie's interest. "How far outside my wheelhouse?"

The woman smiles. "Not far, it's just there's multiple targets, two to be precise. They're fellow assassins actually. The contractor wants you to seduce them then murder them."

Pixie rolls their eyes. "You know I hate doing that. And that I'm not comfortable."

The woman nods. "I know, however, it's part of the deal. You have too. You don't have a choice unless you want to be turned in."

Pixie groans loudly and throws their head back. "Fine. Can I get their files? It's the least you could do Kiri."

Kiri nods as she slides two matching files across the desk. "They're married so this is going to be a fun challenge for you."

Pixie growls quietly. "Of course they are. Got anything else I need to know that might not be in here?" They ask, picking up the top file.

Kiri shakes their head. "No. But remember, here I'm your boss, we aren't on nickname basis."

Pixie rolls their eyes. "Fine, Kirikumo."

Kirikumo nods. "Good. Get to reading, I heard they're currently looking for a third so this will be your chance."

Pixie grabs the other file then gets up, quickly walking out the room. They couldn't seem more uncomfortable with this if they tried. "I mean it's not like this is the first time I've dealt with a married couple. At least they'll be dying together?" They think, trying to stay positive about their new situation.

As Pixie exits their office they happen to see an attractive pair walking by. Of course, they couldn't help but take a glance. Shaking their head they quickly look away and begin walking in the direction of their home.

The pair could be heard snickering which just made Pixie more annoyed. "Whatever." They think and open one file while they walk, choosing not to pay attention to the footsteps trailing behind them.

Pixie stops in their tracks for a second as they stare at the first person's picture. In their eyes the other was absolutely stunning. Her eyes were the most gorgeous shade of emerald green and her hair like that of an autumn sunset. "Wow, she's so pretty. Those eyes.." They mumbles softly as they begin walking again, reading the file as they walk along.

As they take a close look at some additional pictures provided, mostly of the pair together, they realize that they were the beautiful strangers they had just passed. Shaking their head they sigh. "Of course." They mumble softly.
