Shun was looking up at the stars lit sky, carefully stroking Chiyo ears as both her and Bakula slept in his lap. The cold breeze blew against his bright yellow ears. He couldn't help but remember how he met his magical feline Yasu. It was clear in his mind that the usual frowning bunny had a small smile upon his face. It was exactly nine years ago when they first met. Back when he was originally suppose to assassinate her, though instead he he had fallen for her beauty. It all happened on a starry night like the one he was enjoy this very moment.

Shun was given an order from a neighboring clan to take care of a certain cat hero that was causing their men trouble. He accepted of course, he was not one to back away from a kill. He had gather a few details on this cat hero.

Yasu Mao, A skilled sorcerer hero. One who wears golden contacts that allow her sight beyond sight. A daughter to the legendary hero,Shin Mao. She is intelligence, cautious, very careful when in unknown surrounding. Truly a worthy hero to have met a sudden death by his paw.

Shun learned that she was going to rest in the forests close to his home, a foolish mistake really. If only she knew that he would be after her, maybe she would have chosen a proper place to set up her camp. He made his way to her camp, it was easy to find since the camp fire gave away it's position rather quickly. It was a shivering cold night, so the fire could have been a source of warmth as well. Perhaps she wasn't so foolish, though she was rather careless. He slowly creep closer, careful not to make any sudden noises.

"Is someone there? Then show yourself! I have no patience for anyone who hides themselves like a coward. If you show any ounce of honor then fight me!" Yasu levitate from her resting place, her golden eyes were scoping the area, her paws radiated with magical energy ready to fight once her opponent was in her sight.

Shun allowed her to  become alert, it would make her easier to take out. Though once the moonlight illuminated the area, he saw her beauty. How her silly black fur just sparkled against the moon soft lighting. The emerald cape matched her excellent stature, showing off her power and skills she certainly had. The golden contacts that allow her to see beyond one's normal sight, masking her true eyes that were a mystery that the hero wishes to solve.

Shin stayed silent, a warm blush appeared on his bright yellow fur. He had never felt this feeling, this cat awoken it. He need to learn more. So he approached her, keeping his weapon in his backpack. He showed he means her no harm, going as far as to kneel before her as the goddess she was to him.

"Why are you here? Are you a traveler? If so, there is an inn about three miles from here. I advised that you seek refuge there for this evening" Yasu land her feet back to the grass plain.She ceased the flow of magic to her paws, seeing that the bunny before her was not a threat.

Shin stayed silent, he just stare at her for a while. He would often remain silent around those who he didn't known well, his voice was rare to ever hear. He knew she would get suspicious of he didn't say a word.

"I apologize miss. I have traveled very far and I noticed your fire, may I join you for the night. I swear not to cause you any trouble" He kneel again, asking her in the way he should before a lady as stunning as she was.

"I suppose one night isn't too much trouble" Yasu smiled, putting a paw on his golden jacket shoulder

" My thanks " He slowly got up, he took her paw and kiss it like a gentleman does to show a women their gratitude when the lady grace them with their kindness.

Yasu blushed and slowly pulled her paw away, this act shocked her and look away so the stranger couldn't see her embarrassed expression. This bunny had a mystery ominous aura, one that smell of one who walks a path bloodshed. Though she could the danger from him, this also intrigued her. She wished to learn more about this bunny who wore a constant frown. Yasu found herself sitting beside the stranger, staring back at him with her golden contacts. Shun laid down, allowing sleep to take a hold on him, he felt Yasu stroke his ears, her touch was angelic.

This was how the assassin and the Sorceress love story began
