Chapter 8: Fight with it

~Raine's POV~

As I entered the huge masion without being noticed, I noticed the demon princess, raven, and shade blend to the crowd attending the party which quite shocked me. I had felt reaper somewhere... he might be hiding... but those three there? Especially shade? I suddenly noticed shade look towards me. He pointed at his mask and at those who were dancing... don't tell me... tch, master never tells me the full details..

"Master never fails to surprise you... right, raine?" I look towards the voice and saw reaper who had his cloak as always.

"Don't call me that... she's dead you know that" I said and he just chuckled and left. Seriously that guy!

"I'll let envy get you clothes and a mask" frost spoke who is also a wolf and I nodded

As envy quickly changed my clothes and hand me a black, gold and red mask, I started to blend at the crowd. I went over to where the food is the demon princess came over to me as we both grab a drink.

"Shade's target is a water mage with blue hair" she started. I just continued to drink as I listen " raven's is the blonde celestial mage..." so juvia and lucy is here.... I put the now empty glass down as she continued " mine is the scarlet mage that is known as the titania and reaper's the dragon slayer... and your's is the ice mage... keep an eye on him... raven and I will try to assassinate the brother as shade and reaper will try the other... yours is the girl since you wouldn't like team work" she said as I said leaving

"Either way this is team work baka-hime" as she heard it she growled at me.

Ice mage... it has to be him... it has to be them. But... they might had forgotten about me already. They just accepted the job... atleast the two worst assassins' target is those two... I wouldn't worry. Why... why... do I feel like this? With me thinking too much I suddenly bumped into someone

"S-sorry" I heard the person I bumped into apologized which has a very familiar voice. I look at the person but I couldn't determine who is it with the mask.

"Its me who's not paying attention, I should apologize" I said camly. I should just quickly assassinate my target and leave, but with these a lot of people and those mages in guard... this is quite hard. I was about to leave the person whom I bumped into the speaker spoke.

We all turned towards to where the staircase is and the speaker was there. He started to speak about the party, about dancing and such but I actually didn't pay too much attention. As people started to get partners to dance the three targets started to roam around to dance someone they like too. Suddenly the person beside me started to ask me to my shock. I was about to decline but I heard demon princes's voice telling to accept it. I wouldn't still but I have no idea why I suddenly said

"Sure"

As this guy lead me to the others dancing I could feel stares of certain... assassins. We danced silently as the music plays till he spoke, but he said something I wouldn't expect...

"So, you're going to assassinate them?" I didn't manage to speak quickly because I was surprised at his question. I was expecting he would ask my name, but he asked... that means...

"What are you saying?" I asked obviously lying as I stare at my hand which was with his.

"You still gonna hide?" He just kept on going.

"I have no idea what you were saying" I told him trying to get out. He seemed to sigh and started

"You're wearing too much red, you're voice is obvious, and I could see you're mismatched eyes... are you still going to say you have no idea.... raine?" He told me and I was too shock at what he said... he knew... I was silent for a while till we heard a shout. With the shout I quickly let go of him but he grab my hand back
