assassin : karma x rio

where it all began [REWRITE]

"about that guy you told me about earlier... was he cute?" kayano asked, her walking pace slightly faster than her blonde friend.

said friend grew annoyed at the question, and quipped "oh, i don't know kayano! i was too busy trying not to get murdered by him."

kayano stifled a laugh. putting her hand on rio's shoulder, she faced her and said with the brightest smile and sarcastic eyes "i'm sure he was cute!"

rio rolled her eyes. at times like this, she wondered why she even made friends with the peculiar girl. thinking back to last night, she tried to recall if her almost-murderer was anything near cute.

-=- flashback -=-

"thank you, come again!" the cashier said, handing rio her bags. they did a slight bow to each other, and the blonde walked out the convenience store. walking home, she realizes the road her house is on was blocked due to construction.

glaring at the pieces of plastic guarding the path, she whispered to herself "just my luck."

taking in her surroundings, she realized there was an alleyway next to her that leads to the other side of the road. cliche, but it'll work.

rio took a sharp left and started to head down the alleyway. two minutes passes, and rio quickened her footsteps. "damn, this is a long ass alleyway." she mumbled. hearing footsteps that were definitely not hers behind her, she paused. "this is so cliche.... remind me never to use an alleyway ever again." she thought to herself, and took out her phone. opening up snapchat, she recorded behind her with a flashlight.

checking over the footage, she saw nothing. but what she heard wasn't just her mind playing tricks on her. looking up from her phone, she was slightly surprised to see a figure standing in front of her.

"i swear-" rio sighed "-all i have are cup noodles in this bag. i really could care less if you killed me, but let me eat my cup noodles first! i'll even let you share it with me."

the man smirked, looking amused. as if on cue, the streetlights turned on and the perpetrators hair color was revealed. "weird color... highly doubt it's real." she thought to herself. rio held in a laugh picturing a killer messing up their hair job.

"i'm not here for your cheap noodles. i'm being paid and i'm on a deadline, so let's make this quick." a sinister grin quickly replaced his previous playful one.

rio chucked. "you make it seem like i wanna live! but... these cup noodles aren't gonna eat themselves. feel free to come kill me when i'm done though. now, if you'll excuse me...." she tried to maneuver herself away from the assailant, but was cut off by the man lunging at her. rio ducked, punching him in the balls.

she broke out in a laughing fit seeing the mans current state, but then realized she almost got killed. grabbing the one cup noodle that fell out of her plastic bag, she made a run for it.

-=- back from flashback -=-

"okay, maybe his voice was a little hot." rio flushed.

"told ya so!"
