Quest

Akiyo

"Akiyo, my dear...You've received a quest." My Mother said as she started to scroll through her emails. "What is it, Mother?" I Replied to her, Me and her family has a long history of Assassins, and has been carried through the family for generations, since I am a high schooler, and had been trained for years, I am used for many quests."This quest requires you to transfer to Minami High School....The target is 15 years old, they mainly picked you because your in the same grade....Her name is Kaori, seams easy, right?" My Mother added. "Right." I said blankly, It was just another person, nothing special...After all, its not like I have a choice...It was all my Mothers idea, she was just like me when she was younger, until she was 29, she had broken her hip when she was fighting, and after it healed she could never fight the same.

I walked upstairs to my room, it wasn't like any other 15 year old girls room, there wasn't any makeup, K-Pop posters, nothing like that, there was a desk on the left side of my room and a bed on the right, there were katanas hung up on the wall, and some pictures of my  father, who had passed away about two years ago, I've never been unhappy with his death, I had never been close to him, the only times I saw him was when he trained me. Being with my Mother and doing these missions, they have made me feel empty over the years, i cant feel sypathy for anyone if I have to exucute them, it was for the better, if I did feel the slightest bit of sympathy, I would have to take medication to stop feeling sympathy.

In the morning I arived at the school, I saw Kaori, and I aproched her. "Excuse me, I'm new here, do you mind showing me aroud?" I asked. "Of course! My name is Kaori, nice to met you!" She replied "Im Akiyo." I said, For once I felt sympathy, usually I would tell my mother, but this time I was hesitating. Kaori had Short red hair and bright green eyes, but what was I thinking? this isnt normal for me!     I didi'nt want to kill her...

The teacher started to talk as we coicadently got the same class, I just couldn't stop looking at her, her hair and her eyes, just everything was distracting me. "Akiyo, would you please answer the question?" Shit, just popped back into reality, now im screwed..."Um, well...the I before E rule is.." I said but was inturupped. "This is math,  Akiyo." The teacher told me as I felt humiliated. "I'm sorry Ma'am, I honestly wasn't paying attention.." I replied. "Akiyo, thank you for your honesty, but please pay more attention."

"Yes Ma'am"

I always agreed, never declined anything at all. I suddenly relised that I had no control over my life, I was always just a puppet to my mother doing whatever she asked of me, so I started to think, what do I have to do to have control over my life? What do I want to be?
