"Goodness, brother. How do you expect to kill this woman if you can't keep your lunch down during the plane ride?"

God knew Tadao was trying his best not to upchuck onto the seat in front of him. That alone was enough to keep him from telling his sister to quiet down about things like murder.

He knew exactly why his parents had entrusted him with this job. He obeyed every order, every word that came out of their mouths was law to Tadao. He never complained, and he never refused. However, there was one flaw this perfect child of them had that would ruin him when it came time for him to take over the family business.

He was weak.

Tadao had been told to go to America and meet a woman that went by the name of Lion Sove, who would teach him how to fight effectively before he was to kill her. He was to learn everything he could from this woman and was scheduled to end her life in exactly eight months. Tadao had no idea what this Lion Sove person looked like, nor where to find her.

"I'll figure something out, sister. For now we must focus on finding our target first before any plans on killing her is made." Tadao's hands shook a little as he undid his seat belt,

"Has father sent you information of her whereabouts?"

"Affirmative." The teen dug through his pocket and took out a nearly folded paper from inside his wallet. He'd studied and memorized the town front and back months before they were to arrive, it always paid to be prepared,

"I suggest we start at the school. Our sources informed us that this woman has a child around the age of thirteen, it is plausible that we would be able to locate her there much more quickly-"

His sister, Seiko, didn't seem interested in his strategy. Tadao quickly scrambled after her as she wandered the airport, more invested on observing the fast paced Americans around them rather on finding the exit. "Sister please, it isn't safe to run around like this with our enemy sniffing around-" He was rather abruptly cut off when his sister came to a sudden halt. Puzzled, he turned to where she was looking and felt his heart all but leap out of his chest.

He'd recognize this woman anywhere, and Tadao wasted no time taking his sister by the hand and pulling her away towards the nearest exit. Seiko's eyes never left the gleaming metal of the gun peaking out of the woman's pocket and both siblings knew this Italian woman had a bullet with both of their names on it.

Tadao made a point not to release his sister's hand until he was sure they were safely outside, "Don't be so foolish, Seiko. Imagine if she'd seen you before you saw her." Seiko flushed in embarrassment but said nothing in response as Tadao focused on the map in his hands,

"All right, the school doesn't seem very far from here. If we start heading over now we should get there by the time the children are released. Now remember to lay low. We wouldn't want any accidents to occur before we befriend our target, understand?" The female nodded quietly and Tadao folded up his map and placed it back in his pocket, "lets go."
