Snippet #1282163

Takei panted as she leaned against a tree bark, there were a few cuts that were sprouting blood on her leg as she barely dodged a barricade of shuriken.
He wasn't her committed instructor but they were practice partners, when she learned a skill she would ask permission to try it on him.

'You could say I'm bending the Wolfpack rules, but it's needed if I'm going to be a better Assassin.', Takei thought as she ducked on her stomach to dodge another shuriken aimed for her head. It was a sloppy throw and he knew it, she took the opportunity and jumped up holding a wooden katana in her right hand.
Closer, she needed to get closer if she wanted to land a blow. Takei drew back her arm and began to strike, but something in the back stopped her.
The sun was beginning to come up, it averted her attention and distracted her in time for the instructor to block and force her on the ground.

The past few minutes were a blur as she lay on the ground with her eyes staring at her instructor, he took out gauge and began to wrap her cuts.
"Let's go, we'll be late for the meeting. I heard it was important.", he reached his hand out which Takei gladly accepted and got to her feet.
She didn't know of any meeting, but decided to agree on what he said, besides she may be some help in the mission.
Double checking that her leg wasn't oozing blood she ran a few steps behind her instructor realizing they were heading to a cabin.

Stopping in front of the door she loosened the wrappings on her leg and tightened it again noticing he didn't wait for her.
Takei opened the door feeling a soft breeze on her face, it was a crowded room and there were a few people isolated from the others speaking.
"..500 gold coins for any information on the location of the camp."
"We need to kill the King!"
She whipped her head on that instance searching for the person who spoke, still at the door she decided to linger in the back and wait for more.

"Just like anyone who has placed a hit on you. If you kill the person who is offering the reward, then no one will want to admit to the whereabouts of the camp. Sure we will have an even bigger target on our back, but it will give us time to figure out who really killed these people while the town goes into a panic over the king's death. Once we find out who did the killings, we can place the blame on him for the king's death as well.", it didn't sound that horrible but the problem is how powerful the man was.
Hearing this for the first time Takei was even more curious about the commotion, looking around she noticed a poster and some information on it, she rose her voice just enough that the people around her heard, "It's Do or Die. We could send in a spy and risk it all...?"
