Her mission was simple. Her target was in sight. He remained naive, unaware of her presence. Stealthily, she raised her hood, circling her quarry like a beast about to pounce. Her hand rested upon her jeweled dagger, the hilt fitted in her grasp.
From the rooftop she leapt, her cape billowing in the wind behind her. Soundless, deadly, she was upon him. Her feet were light against the soft snow, the wind gusting at her harshly. Her target turned; eyes widening as her cape fell, struck by her beauty. She stilled, her heart lurching at the man before her.
His hand held towards her, and she wept, taking it.
“Do not fear me, child. You must be freezing,” he spoke softly, noting her shivering body. She was beautiful, with wavy black hair and piercing blue eyes. Her tears glistened in the snow, falling against her porcelain cheeks.
“I cannot, I must refuse…”she whispered, her eyes downcast. Her voice was lovely, he noticed, and he sighed, besotted with her.
“Please, do not look away. I must confess, I am drawn by your beauty.” He took her chin in his grasp, lifting her head gently. She whimpered, her breath leaving her as she was spellbound by his red eyes.
“I must admit the same,” she responded, her hand reaching out to wipe the black hair from his face. He smiled, his hand caressing her cheek.
“Come, I must insist. You look famished,” he said, taking her hand in his. He led her, and despite what her brain was telling her to do, she followed, taken with his kindness and beauty.
They relished each other’s company throughout the evening, heating their bodies by the fire and reminiscing of their childhood. She kept her true identity a secret, revealing only her name.
“I’m Midoriko.”

A/N: So no, the two people here are not who you think they are. This is only the beginning. It’s going to take a while to get to that point. I had planned on writing this story as my own original, but I wanted to put this as a SessKag. I plan on drawing these characters as well. I will link them when that happens. I will be taking the long route around this story, but I hope you enjoy it. Please leave your feedback in the reviews!
