Karasu was a serious man from the first introduction. It didn’t bother Kaoru, that wouldn’t affect her outgoing nature; she just believed everyone was different. This would be her first real mission. Kaoru had yet to experience the outside world, mostly living as a normal girl going to the academy. He’d tell her to use the blade wisely, instantly shaking her head in agreement. The girl understood is was no toy and must be handled with care, remembering the lectures she got from her mother. “Yes, I’m ready to go” Kaoru smiled. Leaving the doorway, her mother watched as they left. Always very worried for her daughter, but understood it was her choice and great honor. With that, they were off, walking the main streets. People laughing drunkenly in the bars. The girl couldn’t help but giggle a bit, every now and then looking at the silent man with curiosity. Karasu was so silent the girl wondered if he breathed at all. She wanted to ask what the mission was, but assumed he’d disclose that information once the whole team was formed. “So, do you like books?” she smiled, trying to make short conversation. Hopefully he wouldn’t be annoyed. Waiting for his reply they soon arrived at a home, it was so pretty. The garden was something she enjoyed very much, she wished there was room at her own home for one. Alas, they didn’t. Karasu knocked on the door, causing Kaoru to awkwardly rock back and forth on the soles of her feet. Waiting to see who else would join them.
