Target number 48

Panting was heard in the dark hallways of a house. Strained sobs bounced off the walls as the small figure ran desperately through the darkness. The house reeked of iron. Red coated the walls. A silent whistle of a pistol resonated through the house and the figure fell with a thud.

"Your quite feisty for a non-extension" A glow of red and orange slowly appeared through the doors of the married couples room. The glow covered the hallways, bathing it in a warm fiery glow. The figure crouched down to the small body on the floor. Amber eyes flickered to life as they stared at the child laying unconscious.

"Six, good job as usual." A figure showed itself from the shadowy hallways. She squinted her eyes at her partners fiery locks. She hummed her response deciding not to answer her senior. "Would you mind picking up the child. Gotta inform the boss." Six walked over to the child and picked them up. She looked down, concern flickered in her eyes, but disappeared as quickly as it came. She sighed as she wiped the sweat off, of the child's forehead.

"Shall we go." The fiery figure stood in front of the door waiting for her partner. Six hummed and walked out of the house. She walked to a black car and placed the child inside. She looked back at the house and watched her senior use her extension. Fire danced between the fiery women's fingers. She conjured a fire ball from her left hand. The fire stayed there dancing in between her fingers. Instead of a warm glow it glowed a blackish red as it filled up with negative emotions. Her fiery hair changed to a cold black. She released the fire. all her negativity into that single ball of fire. She turn to leave the flaming house. Her hair turned back to its original warm glow. She got into the car. Six sat quietly at the back observing the house.

"Sachi-san your overdid it" Six's voice came out horse, but Sachi heard it loud and clear. "Can't be helped." They drove off into the cover of midnight. The flames attached itself to other houses and the quiet neighbourhood was filled with screams of terror.

A small figure ran through the house. Her face was puffed out in determination. She slammed her mother's door open and proceeded to jump on the sleeping form. "MOMMY WAKE UP" she jumped around the bed making sure to fulfil her brothers word 'remember Hana wake up mom with any means possible. She has a lot of work to do.' A groan resonated under the sheets and a small tug got the little child tumbling down her mom's bed. She stood up and poked her head in the sheet looking at her mom's sleeping face. She pouted and got her little arm to poke her mom's face.

"Wakey, wakey Mommy has work to do." The sleeping figure finally woke up from the consistent poking and sat up. She groaned and rubbed her eyes from sleepiness. She looked down looking at her child's smooshed face on her sheets. "Okay I'm up. Is Hana hungry?" Hana perked up and looked up giggling. "BERRYS" she flapped her little arms and jumped up in excitement. "Okay strawberry pancakes then." The woman stoop up and picked up her child. Hana grabbed her mom's hair and started playing with it. She halted and watch her son cooking pancakes on the stove.

"I heard Berrys and decided to make pancakes for the princess." Hana squirmed making the woman put her down, she waddled her way and attached herself to her brothers leg. "Berry!" She beamed up at him. "Mom go get ready I'll take care of Hana" the woman nodded in approval and left to go change. Halfway changing and her phone rang. She picked it up and sat down while buttoning her shirt.

"Yes what is it?" She stopped in the middle of her changing and processed her partner's words "the king wants me?" A muffled yes was heard I'm the phone. "Right on my way" She came out all dressed and stalked her way to the kitchen. "Sorry Mommy's gotta go urgent call" she pecked both of her children's head and waved bye. "This is interesting, hope nothing bad" Oh, but she was wrong very wrong.
