Timeskip: Three weeks
"BLACKSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR !"
Blackstar froze, and turned to your voice.
"SHOW YOUR ASS UP. NOW."
"…Yikes." Blackstar scratched his head, and grinned, letting go of the branch he's holding on and falling backwards. "Tadaaaaa !" He was now hanging upside down, arms hanginging… Like a monkey.
But he regretted that quickly. Mainly because you were right in front of him (upside-down that is xD). "…Uh… Hi, (y/n)-chan."
"Give my manga back !" You growled, and grabbed a handful of his hair, pulling it downwards. Blackstar gasped, and the branch his feet was on… Cracked. He sweatdropped, wailing his arms. "(Y/NNNNNNNN !) STOP STOP STOP STOP—OW ! I'M GONNA FAL—"
And sadly, you pulled harder, until the branch gave up and broke, sending the bluenette head-first on the ground.
"OOOOOWWW !" Blackstar sat up and held his head, groaning. You smirked, crossing your arms in triumph. "Hah. Give me my Blue Exorcist manga back !"
"What's so awesome with that guy anyway ? He's just some guy turning into a blue torch when he draws his sword ! And his twin teacher that uses dual guns. Nothing sp—"
"HE'S FREAKING RIN OKUMURA AND HE'S THE SON OF SATAN !" You kicked his shoulder, but he dodged. "Nah-uh, Izumo-chan. Not today !" He smirked.
"…Izumo…?" You looked confused.
"She's the girl with weird eyebrows and is a tsundere, right ? You're her." Blackstar shrugged. You growled, and sent a whack to his head.
"BAKA ! (IDIOT)"
Blackstar pouted, holding his head and hissing at the double pain, before taking out a manga from his… Shirt. "Tch… Whatever…"
You grabbed the manga, and grinned. "Now, student. Our lesson for today will be about masking up feelings !"
"…Huh ?" Blackstar blinked, with you giving a nod.
"Yes. Being an assassin means working alone. Having a partner can get you a weakness—they'll target your partner to get you. Same thing goes to having a relationship—a love relationship." You shrugged.
"…Oh…" Blackstar gave a nod. "First, you have to learn not to feel the physical pain." You kicked his back, which made him groan. "Ow !"
"I said learn NOT to feel the physical pain !"
"I wasn't fcking ready !" Blackstar grumbled. You sighed, and kicked him again, harder this time.
Suddenly, as you two trained in the forest, someone was watching. He made a sigh, clicking on his earpiece.
"She's helping him."
"What ?" Death's voice said through the earpiece.
"She's even training him."
"…Tch. Choose the right timing—and tell her to abort her mission and leave the organization." Death sighed.
"Traitors aren't meant to stay."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Another week has passed… And you both decided to stop the assassin training. You both were in an arcade area, playing games.
As he ran around happily, you can't help but to feel… Happy. From the month you've been with him, even if just teaching him in disguise, you found out something…
This guy—Blackstar. He's not as dangerous as he seems… He's the nicest person you met from your whole life.
And for that month, let's just say you found out how to love.
But the mission…
How are you going to do it ?
"(y/n), let's go eat ! My treat, yahoooooo !" Blackstar grinned, grabbing you and sweeping you off of your feet, carrying you. You looked startled, blushing. "B-blackst—"
"Ne, sensei (teacher). I know this may sound weird, but we're the same age, right ? 17 ?" Blackstar grinned. You turned away, nodding. "Y-yeah…"
"Welp ! I think I love my teacher." He smirked. "And by love, romantic way."
You blushed darkly, turning away. "H-how can you be so… C-calm…"
"You taught me how to mask up my feelings. I'm actually nervous right now, but I was thinking of sad things—just like you taught me—just to make me look cold and silent outside."
You turned redder, hiding your face. "S-stop it…" You muttered.
"Say, do you love me too ?" Blackstar smirked, and stopped in front of a simple restaurant. You looked down, scratching your head as he placed you on your feet. "S-so… So… S-so what… So what if I do…"
Blackstar blushed, and turned to you, surprised. "You do…?" He blinked, then grinned. "YES !"
"I see."
The both of you stopped in your tracks. Blackstar blinked, and turned to the voice... While you.. You just stood still, knowing the person.
"Agent (l/n), you fell in love with your target. How beautiful."
Blackstar looked confused, but glared. "…(y/n)… Do you know this guy ?"
You gave a nod, sighing. "Not here, Death the Kid."
The said boy sighed, playing with the pistols in his hands. "I told dad about this a week ago—you were helping him. Dad told me to fire you out of the organization—and finish the job you were supposed to finish weeks ago."
Your eyes went wide, as Blackstar's turned more confused. "…Job…? Weeks ago…? Tch. Whatever. You know what, leave me and (y/n) alone !"
Kid raised the pistols, one pointing at you and one at him. "You had such symmetry, (y/n). I don't want blood on your beautiful hands."
Blackstar raised his hands, startled. "O-oi, put that down !" He turned to you. "You know him, right ?! Stop this psycho !"
"Oh. You still don't have a clue ?" Kid smirked. Your eyes widened.
"K-kid, please, n—"
"(y/n) was given the mission to end your life. And she gladly accepted, knowing your clan and all."
Blackstar's eyes went wide in shock, and turned to you. "…What…"
"N-no… B-blackstar, let me expla—"
"All of those—the teachings. The happy times. They're all lies, star clan kid. I'm so sure (y/n) only did that to trick you."
"Stop it !" In anger, you punched him, enough to make him stop and cough. Kid looked at you, and laughed. "What now, (y/n) ? You fell deep too ? What about your family—your parents ? His clan killed them."
You growled, and grabbed one of his pistols, shooting at his leg. You knew better than killing him—Killing the leader's son is the gate to hell.
Satisfied when you heard Kid wince and groan, you noticed Blackstar's eyes narrow.
(I'm sorry for making Kid an ass here btw xD
Kid: ;~; How could you ?
…Sorry xD)
"…So you're no different from them…" Blackstar muttered. "You think I'm just like them…? My father's like that, I know, but don't lump me in with those soul-hungry bastrds !"
You turned to him, and tears welled up in your eyes, shaking your head. "B-blackstar, please—let me expl—"
"Explain ? Ugh. Forget it !" Blackstar held a dark glare, one that expressed hate and sadness at the same time. "I regret it… Everything. Even seeing you as a friend." His hands fisted, turning around and started to walk away.
"N-no… Please !" You ran to him and took his hand, stopping him. Blackstar lowly growled, and turned to you, eyes filled of hate. "What ?!"
"L-look… I-it—"
He sighed, and took his hand back harshly. "I thought you were different, (y/n)… I thought you saw me as someone nice. I trusted, and loved you." He looked down. "…But you… You shattered both…"
You looked startled, and started trembling, your tears filling up and streaming down your cheeks. "A-at first… I admit, I felt like that at first… But Blackstar… I-I love you, I swear, it's true.."
"I can't trust the words of a liar again, (y/n).." He sighed, and continued walking away.
You stared at his back with wide eyes, eyes showing hurt and depression. The first person… To make you realize you're still a girl—after being an assassin who killed people without mercy.
The one who made you realize that there's still someone who loves you.
And that person's gone.
Kid made a small cackle, sitting up and leaning against a wall. "Oh… Look, (y/n). He left you behind. I guess he didn't love you at all, huh." He shrugged. You got back to your senses, and felt the pistol in your hand.
"…You're an assassin—a person who kills for money. No one would love you because of fear—but I do like that symmetry you have."
"I can't trust the words of a liar again, (y/n)…"
"…of a liar"
The guy who just said he loves you… Was now disappearing in a distance. It was too late—you didn't even tell him… Tell him you really love him.
"You're just lucky my father wanted your powers."
He was actually right… Why were you even alive ? You should've just died that day, with your parents.
You hung your head low, smiling slightly as your eyes narrowed. Tears increased and every move made your heart feel like breaking from the happenings.
Death.
That's it.
The only key.
You raised the gun, and pointed it to your chest, before sighing.
"No one would care anyway."
You made a small laugh, and took a last look at that person.
"No one loves me enough to care."
*gunshot*
…Silence. You felt yourself fall harshly to the ground, blood splattering from yourself.
"…(y/n)…..?"
After small seconds, you heard low footsteps… Then louder… And louder.
"No… NO !"
The voice said, and as you had the small chance to force your eyes open, you did. But it wasn't that clear—unlike before.
…He's here.
You were startled, and guilt rushed all around your body again. A last drop of tear ran from your eye, and as you let the darkness embrace you…
You let that one last breath go.
