Beast

Chapter 9

When the phone rang Ash leapt out of her seat to answer it. She talked for awhile then set it back down and turned to Sakura who was reading on the couch with a smile on her face.
"She did it, we are good to go tonight."
Sakura smiled.
"That's good, when will we get ready?"
"At ten tonight."
Sakura looked at Ash and smiled again happy that they got a good to go on their objective. But one thing was bothering her.
"How will people take the news of the East post leaders death?"
Ash looked at her and smirked.
"That's the thing, this town is just so messed up that not even the public would be told of the death of an Post leader. The best ending would be is that they just hire a new retreat and call it good no questions asked in fear of the consequences."
Sakura was intrigued by this. She had known that this town was messed up, but she had also thought that no one would have the bravery to touch the post leaders who at least gave some discipline but she was wrong. That day the two of them had left for the family armory where Ash told them of their plan and gained their faith and support to accomplish there task and make it back alive. When they arrived back home the two just sat around lazily, Sakura read and Ash studied a map.

"Aha!"

Sakura jumped at the outburst and looked over at Ash who was now out of her chair and leaning over a table marking the map.

"What's going on?"

Ash looked up diverting her attention from the map and to Sakura then back at the map.

"I found out how we are going to do this."

Sakura was confused. She thought that Ash had already known what she was going to do, had she been faking her knowledge on the subject this whole time?

"Did you not already have a plan?"

Ash looked up at Sakura sheepishly.

"No, not really, I had a basic plan of just storming in and beating their *sses but I found an easier way to accomplish this task."

Ash pointed to the map and towards a warehouse by the Eastern dock .

"So I will give you a basic rundown, in an hour at around seven we're going down here to set up camp. We will then wait for the ship to arrive and Mister Williams to give orders and the men will begin unloading the stock. At around eight almost three quarters of the men will be bordered and three quarters of the stock also on the boat. Then I will shot the ammunition crate creating a large explosion destroying most of the men and stock. Mister Williams and Mister News will be wrapped in the chaos giving an easy view on them, and then 'BANG'".

Ash formed her hand into a pistol shape and pointed it at Sakura.

"I kill them."

Ash the dropped herself into the chair closest to her right and crossed her arms a smirk making its way onto her lips.

"So, what do you think?"

Sakura looked at the papers then to Ash,

"I think that your plan seems trusting maybe a few weak points here and there but for the most part I think that's great."

"Weak Points?!"

Sakura chuckled at Ash, she new that the woman would be offended by the mention of her plan being risky.

"Yeah don't you see, or are you actually stupid?"

Sakura knew that this would hit a snag, and it did.

"I Can't Believe That I, Me Has A Weak Point In A Plan And Can Be Viewed As Stupid?!?!"

Ash then walked over to a now giggling Sakura and put her in a choke hold and began to tussle her hair. Sakura squirmed and tried to wiggle her way from the tight hold she was in but to no avail since Ash was much bigger and stronger. This charade went on until a knock on the door caused Ash to stop and let go, of Sakura as she quickly dashed away. Ash opened the door and was met with a tall man who glared at Ash with green eyes and tapped his foot impatiently at her. She smiled and opened her arms widely.

"Zaac What Are You Doing Here?!?!"

The man looked at Ash and sighed then maneuvered his way around her and into the house where he sat at the kitchen table and looked at the maps that littered the tables surface.

"So that whole story of you killing the East post leader wasn't just some stupid joke made up by your idiotic friends?"

The man seemed well acquainted to Ash due to how he chastised her like a friend who had seen her do these kinds of stupid things a lot.

"Our friend you mean."

The man nodded.

"Yes, yes I know I know Our friends."

Ash nodded her head then sat next to him at the table.

"So, where is your newest addition to the idiot club?'

Ash looked offended at this statement.

"Idiot!?!?! I would like you to know that Sakura is not an idiot."

Sakura didn't know what to do with this statement, and why did she not try to back her and her other friends up?

"Right of course, so where is she?"

Sakura then walked out and greeted the man.

"Hello, my name is Sakura Nanase.

"Pleasure."

Sakura sat down, and the man then diverted his attention back to Ash.

"So, what is this scheme?"

Ash's face lit up.

"I thought that you would never ask!"

The man looked like he had just realized his mistake and began to regret it.

"I am going to assassinate Mr. Williams, and Mr.News, tonight at eight."

Zaac looked at her as if she had grown two heads, then to Sakura.

"What?"

"I just told you, I am going to kill the East Post leader and his main source of ammunition."

"Seriously?"

Ash nodded, and the man sighed.

"Well I have seen you do a lot of stupid things ever since I met you, but this is over the top, why would you do this?"

Ash looked down at the ground her bangs creating shadows on her face.

"I'm going to keep my promise this time."

Sakura was confused by what she meant and she thought that Zaac would be two, but instead he nodded then got up and brushed off his pants.

"Well, like always you know my number, call me if you find yourself in a situation."

Ash looked ready to butt in when.

"No I will not come to buy you food or to help bail you out of jail."

Ash looked dejected.

"Fine next Sunday I will take you to dinner along with her."

He pointed to Sakura and Ash smiled.

"Thanks, I owe you one."

The man smiled and began to walk out.

"Just don't mess up."
