Assassins

Ace In My Hole

THURSDAY

"So, Rubes." Yang sent a sly grin to her sister, "What's the plan?"

The two were sitting on the couch in their living room. The blonde made sure to wait until directly after school to talk about this sensitive subject.

Ruby was hesitant to bring it up for the last few days, but Yang only had until Friday night to shoot her target. With each passing day, Ruby became more reluctant to tell her sister. Right now, Yang was impatiently waiting for Ruby's response.

The truth is, Ruby had a good plan, a really good plan. However, she knew her sister might not go with it...

"You...aren't going to like it..." Ruby mumbled.

"Oh come on, sis!" Yang encouraged, "You form the best strategies! You're the ace in the hole! Ace in my hole..."

"YANG! STOP IT!" Ruby pleaded.

Yang put her hands up in surrender, "Okay, okay! But really, what is it? I only have tonight and tomorrow to shoot Coco!"

Ruby sighed, "Coco has an obsession with your ass, right?"

Yang's eyes widened in horror, "Yes...."

"And you don't want to ever go through that again, right?" Ruby asked.

"Never...again..." Yang muttered. Truth be told, she was scarred for life from what Coco did to her last time.

"We all know another person that has an ass as legendary as yours..." Ruby trailed off.

Yang gasped, "I CAN'T PUT HER THROUGH THAT!"

"You can," Ruby glared into her sister's soul, "and you will."

Yang was downcast, "This game destroys humanity itself..."

"It's your best shot. We all know how compulsive Coco's fetish is." Ruby said.

The blonde sighed, "I guess I'll call her..."

"Yeah!" Ruby chirped, "And who knows? Maybe she will say yes!"

"I just hope she's not my assassin," the blonde said as she dialed the number.

After a few rings, she picked up the phone. "Yes, Yang?" A monotone voice asked.

"Hey, Blakey~," Yang happily sang. "Wanna make some more memories?" She always knew when to pull the 'before we go to college card.'

Blake sighed, "What do you want from me this time?"

"You know me so well~," Yang happily responded. "Want to help me shoot my target again?"

During their conversation, Ruby kept giving her sister thumbs up to encourage her.

Blake took a moment to think about the offer, "Okay, but just like last time, I'm shooting you once I get there."

Yang's eyes widened, "Wait, how do I know you're not my assassin?"

"Didn't you see the Beacon?" Blake asked. "I shot Cardin."

"That's amazing!" Yang cheered, "So does that mean you'll help?"

"Yes," Blake said. "Just come outside unarmed and we'll be good."

"Sounds like a plan!" Yang chirped, "Tonight?"

"Sure, you don't have much time left." Blake reminded.

The blonde laughed, "I never got around to it..."

"I'll drop by very soon, see you later," Blake said.

"Later!" Yang hanged up the phone.

Ruby sighed, "You didn't even tell her the whole plan..."
