One year ago today, December 17th, I created this account and wrote my first one shot. To honour that, I've decided to rewrite the first one shot I wrote.

Ayano Aishi x Nemesis-chan:

The mission was simple. Find Midori Gurinuuuuuuuu, end her lifu with a knifu. There can't be any witnesses. Make sure all the blood is clean, and the incinerator must be used to dispose the body and the murder weapon.

As she was dragging Midori's lifeless corpse behind her to the incinerator she saw her for the first time. Short dark hair that covered one of her crimson eyes, pale, almost grey, skin, and gloved hands holding on to a knife. Ayano froze as they made eye contact, fearing she had failed her mission.
"Assassin too, huh?" Ayano finally spoke. The other girl nodded her head once, refusing to break eye contact.
"What's your name?" She asked bluntly, ignoring Ayano's question entirely.
"Ayano. What's yours?" She responded, gripping Midori's wrist a little tighter. She was suspicious of this girl, she hadn't ever seen her before.
"Call me Nemesis. You're actually kinda cute, Ayano." She said, lacking any sort of emotion. Ayano's eyes widened in surprise, making Nemesis laugh humourlessly.
"Yeah, I have to go..." Ayano told her, turning around to go the other way to dispose of Midori's body.
"If you want, I'll take you on a date tonight." Nemesis suggested. Ayano turned back to her, a small smile forming on her usually deadpan face.
"Sure."

Soon that became their routine. They'd complete missions, then go on dates or spend time together. They even started dating, but had to keep their relationship secret from everyone, knowing it was forbidden. They were supposed to hate each other. Both had orders to kill each other should they see the other, but they didn't. They avoided each other during missions for that exact reason.

One fateful morning, Nemesis received her mission brief like usual. As she opened it her heart sank to her feet.
Target: Ayano Aishi
She didn't want this. This was the opposite of what she wanted, but she couldn't say no. She had to earn the money her boss paid her for her family.

Her parents never had any money, even though they both worked two jobs. She never saw them anymore. They had taken out a loan with Ronshaku loans, not knowing they were loan sharks. They took every penny her parents had, then demanded more. That was when her boss offered her the job of assassin. She was in no position to say no. It was either become an assassin, or engage in compensated dating. Now, it was either her family or her girlfriend.

Nemesis waited anxiously, hidden in a corridor waiting for Ayano. The last time she had felt this way, or really anything about killing anyone, was the first time. Even then, she hadn't had emotional investment and attachment to her targets. She watched Ayano pass, seeing her completely alone. She followed her silently, her hands trembling. As she raised the knife, her eyes blurred with tears. She closed her eyes tightly and slammed the knife into Ayano's skull. She was dead instantly. Tears ran down her pale cheeks from her eyes as she caught Ayano's body. She kissed her cheek, whispering three words into her ear even though she knew Ayano couldn't hear her.
"I'm sorry, Aishi."
