Twisted Two

No Matter What

The first thing Yumiko noticed when she awoke was her feet, the bandages gone. The second was Yukio asleep by his work desk, his laptop still open.

She sighs, heading for the bathroom for a morning shower. She hated taking showers or baths. But she did love feeling clean, the problem was, her hair was incredibly thick and long, pulling her down after a shower or bath.

But she felt sticky and weird, itching to get a bath. She stepped into the shower, letting the hot water cascade down her aching back. 

After her shower, she stepped out, starting to regret her choice just like usual as she begrudgingly reached for the hairdryer, another towel and her hairbrush. Showers and outfits aside, her hair alone takes over 20 minutes every time, shower or none.

After her silver hair was pulled back into a four strand braid, the assassin changed into a pair of dark wash jean shorts, a white tank top and a loose, gray belly top over it.

Pulling on a pair of gray Nike high top sneakers, she steps out the bathroom with a relieved sigh. "Finally done."

Yukio, as usual, was waiting for her to finish silently, leaning against a wall near the door. "Waited long?" "Just woke up."

Yumiko nodded and was about to leave the suite but turned around, just like Yukio, who was about to enter the bathroom. "We going out for breakfast?" "Mhm."

Just as Yumiko was about to step into the lounge, her phone rang, making the bidders turn to the door, where they couldn't see her. But she steps in anyway as she answers.

"Hello?" "Yumiko? It's Ryo." "I know Ryo, I have caller ID."

"Oh... Yeah." he mumbles form the other side. "Listen, your father has another mission for you."

"Position?" she asks. "Thief and assassin. He needs you to assassinate a politician today and steal a painting from the manor."

"Okay... Anything undercover?" "Tonight is the only time you can do it. He has a party at his manor and there's supposed to be a twin duo singing. Infiltrate through that." 

"Twins, hm? Perfect timing." she smirks evilly and exchanges a few more words with Ryo before hanging up, turning to the bidders.

"Yukio and I are off on a job tonight. Our schedules taken up."

"No it's not." Eisuke stops her when she turns to find her brother. Yumiko's brow lifts. "We need you to steal something with Baba tonight."

"Well you scheduled too late." "We bought you, remember? You need to fulfill your duties that we give you." 

"Can't Lupin do it alone? He's a professional." "Do you think we'd be telling you to do it with him if we thought he was capable, woman?"

"Tch, well I don't care. I'm still doing the task assigned to me first." she retorts to Soryu's reply and turns around.

"Did you forget who bought you, Yin?" the CEO uses her code name, making her scoff over her shoulder. 

"You did," she smirks as she walks off. "But I think you forgot who I worked for in the first place, Eisuke Ichinomiya."

"I heard the conversation, kid," Mamoru stops her again, "Can you even sing?"

"I'm a thief, an assassin. I've infiltrated places before and this ain't my first musical rodeo. I've acted before too." she cracks, "I know how to play almost every instrument known to man."

Night approached quickly and the Twisted Two twins were in a limo prepared for them by their father for the mission. Yumiko was in an evening gown and Yukio in a tux.
