Assassins

The Three-Way

WEDNESDAY

"Why are we even arguing? You know you owe me." Blake said with finality.

The two were standing in the school's hallway by the kitten's locker. Students bustled by on the way to their next class.

Sun sighed, "I just want to make sure, you aren't my assassin, right?"

The cat faunus smiled. "It wouldn't make sense for me to betray you. The point of tonight is to go out and shoot Cardin. He's my real target, not you."

The monkey faunus rubbed the back of his head and reluctantly agreed. "Fine, but why is Ren coming?"

Ren appeared behind Sun. "Because the three of us as a team...we'll be unstoppable."

Sun gasped, "Dude, don't surprise me like that."

Ren continued his reasoning, "No promises, but Cardin is not going to be easy to take down. Blake needs all the help she can get. Plus, we want to mess with him."

"I get your point," Sun admitted. "I swear to God if any of you pull anything-"

"You're over-thinking this," Blake said. "All we have to do is shoot Cardin and leave. I have a plan of action."

The two raised their eyebrows in curiosity, "And what's that?" They asked in unison.

"I have his schedule," Blake smirked as she pulled it out of her pocket. "Right now he's...in math. Then he has plans to go to a gun range."

Sun was bewildered. "A gun range?"

"Yes," she answered. "He's taking this game a little too seriously..."

"He probably got the gun from Melanie..." Sun muttered.

Blake looked up from the paper. "What?"

"Nothing," the monkey faunus replied. "Where did you get his schedule anyways?"

Ren cut in, "Like I said, we are the best team around."

"No doubt about that," Sun said. "I'll be golden if I stick with you guys. But seriously we need a pact for no betra-,"

"Hey guys!" Ruby chirped happily with the rest of RWBY in tow, "What's up?"

"Plotting." Ren replied nonchalantly.

"For murder?" Ruby asked somewhat hopefully with a sly grin present.

Ren sighed, "Yes, for murder. It takes a lot of skill."

"Make sure the poe-poe don't find the body!" Ruby encouraged.

Weiss cut in, "I can always hire someone for you."

"That won't be needed," Blake smirked. "We are handling it."

Melanie and Miltia walked by the group, "How the hell didn't you notice you burnt your hand earlier?" Miltia asked Melanie.

"It was the adrenaline!" Melanie rubbed her bandaged hand. "I was so busy stroking my baby I didn't notice..."

"Adrenaline from what!?" Miltia screeched, "YOU JUST WATCHED!"

"I was so into it..." Melanie muttered.

The group tilted their heads in confusion. Yang called out, "How'd you burn your hand?"

"Oh yeah, she wasn't there for the redemption round..." Miltia muttered. "Melanie here thought it would be a good idea to bring a legit shotgun to the redemption round."

Melanie gave Miltia a look of bewilderment. "It was a great idea!"

"Irregardless, it wasn't worth it." Miltia replied.
