"I wondered when you would show, Akechi." A voice spoke from Asakumo's right. She turned and shined her flashlight in that direction to reveal him.
"Oh great." she grumbled, "Just my luck. On another mission that just so happens to have Chuuya involved and you show up. Ronin." Asakumo rolled her eyes, putting a hand on her katana hilt. "You really are Chuuya's lackey, protecting his every file that I go after."
The boy laughed, his hood falling back, his messy dark hair appearing. "Of course, Akechi," his eyes taunted Asakumo, "What do you think we Ronin are all about? You do know we work for whoever pays the highest price, right?" the Ronin slid off the railing he was sitting on and walked up to Asakumo.
"Stay away from me." Asakumo's thumb flicked open her katana sheath. The Ronin chuckled at this action.
"I'm not going to do anything to you. And plus, I have my own weapon." he patted his back, Asakumo noticing his duo blades. He stopped about a foot from Asakumo, leaning towards her so that his face was only a couple of inches away. "Arn't you going to make me swear to secrecy on your name?"
Asakumo, who was studying the Ronin's stormy grey eyes, blanched at that question. How did he know the ways of the Samuaris? "Uh...ya." Asakumo pulled farther away from the boy, "Do you, Ronin, swear to keep my name a secret? Do you swear to protect it to your dying breath, and in exchange, offer your own name to me as a means of keeping you from doing everything that you shouldn't?"
"I swear." the Ronin put a hand on his heart and another in the air. "Ito Kage at your service. Forgotten Samurai, Roaming Ronin, Shadowed Mercenary, and other names. Happy?" Asakumo muttered something under her breath about Ronins and nodded, taking off her hood and mask. Kage followed suit.
Samurai and Ronin looked at each other, studying each other's facial features and committing them to memory. Kage had a sharp jaw and paler skin. His cheeks were slightly dusted with freckles and his full lips gave him a mischievous and flirty look.
Asakumo had high cheekbones and flawless porcelain skin. Her round lips made her face look graceful and authoritative. She rolled her eyes when she replaced her mask and Kage still hadn't taken his eyes off of her.
"I still need that file," she said, interrupting his thoughts. "And I will fight for it, which you don't want to happen." She fixed a piercing look at Kage. He sighed and handed her a yellow file. "Thank you."
Before she could run out of there, Ito Kage said, "Nice meeting you, Akechi Asakumo. See ya soon." He winked and disappeared into the shadows.
