Nova slept like a log through the night. His fatigue from carrying around such weight over the night clearly got the best of him. But as it had been a routine for him for the past couple of years, Nova found himself automatically awake at a set time in the mornings. However, he didn't feel like getting up just yet and pulled the covers over his head, trying to continue his rest. So when he felt Rebekah's attempt to wake him, he tried to feign ignorance and kept his eyes shut. However the act of her shaking him to get up got pretty annoying. "Okay. Okay. I'm awake now!" he groaned as he pulled the covers down and sat up.
Smacking his lips and yawning wide, he groggily got up and scratched his head a bit. Then proceeded to stretch his stiff joints. He then crouched down near his duffel bag and pulled out a towel and a toothbrush before getting up again, throwing the towel over a shoulder and stuffing the toothbrush in his mouth. It was at that moment of time, an unexpected kick to the stomache was promptly delivered by none other than his master. Gackhhh!! His toothbrush almost splurted out. What da hell-?! He glared at her spontaneously while holding on to his sore tummy.
"Meet at the Mission center when your ready and had your breakfast..." was basically the reply that he received. It wasn't really the answer he was looking for but Nova decided not to prod on. Instead, he gestured a salut with his left hand while his right was still clamped on his aching stomache. After Rebekah left, Nova took a quick shower and dressed himself casually, pulling a bright red hoodie over his shirtless body. Grabbing his retractable claws on the way out and stuffing it into a sling bag he was carrying, Nova made his way towards the dining hall to get something to eat. He then was seen sprinting off towards his next destination, the mission center.

☠ Rebekah Nightlock ☠ [Mission Center] Rebekah only waited a couple minutes when her group began to arrive. Some where absent, which didn't please her, but most of them were here. The last one to arrive was Nova. She watched as he approached and nodded to him. She gestured for her group to follow her to receive their mission. Their mission was going to be tough. They needed to escort a high class aristocrat from this province to the one after the next. She explained to the group how it would work that they would need to flank the aristocrat and others would need to hide among the trees to ambush any aggressors.
With that they were off. They picked up the aristocrat from his mansion and begun on the way along the dirt road. She assigned most of the long rangers to be in the trees where she would direct them. "Nova you can help the close range combat novices...keep a perfect form around the client." she said staring at him for a moment then motioning her long range group to follow her. She disappeared into the woods scaling up a tree jumping from branch to branch to keep an eye on everything.

Once Nova arrived at the center, he realized that he was actually the last to arrive. Apparently, if he had taken his own sweet time chowing down those extra meatloafs, he would have been stalling his entire squad. Good thing he decided to save them for later and rushed to the center instead. Just in time for the mission briefing as well. So... who are we gonna kill today? Nova was eager for some cold-blooded action. But upon finding out that it was going to be an escort mission, Nova felt his shoulders slump with dismay. Bodyguard duty. Blehhh...
However, as disgruntled as he was, he knew the consequences of trying to opt oneself out of an assigned mission. He had no choice but to go along with the plan. Fetching the package from his mansion proved to be an easy task. Whoever that they were protecting him from didn't seem to think that attacking him at his own house would be a good idea. As they began to descend into a more secluded area, marked significantly by the dirty jagged roads and tower high trees, the squadron had been divided into two with Rebekah taking lead of the support team in the trees, leaving him with a number of novices at his disposal.
Retaining eye contact with them, Nova gestured a few hand signs, rallying the novices to keep their distance intact with their client. He had one of them walking a distance in front to act as a scout for any form of dangers ahead. Making sure the client was well within the walls of his team, Nova slid his sling bag over to his chest and took out his claws. Best be prepared... he thought silently as he swiftly equipped them on both arms.

☠ Rebekah Nightlock ☠ [Mission Center] Watching the forest carefully Rebekah read people approaching, but didn't lift a finger. She was leaving it to the novices to defeat the on coming aggressors. Rebekah perched herself high in a tree to watch how the rookies would react. The aggressors neared and the novices took out a few, but most were knocked out swiftly. Rebekah was undetectable in the tree making it easy to hide and observe. As the many aggressors left headed towards Nova's section she awaited how the apprentice would react, but she didn't expect to be found so soon. A deep voice whispered in her ear softly to surrender to him. The sound was too familiar making her skin crawl remembering bad memories of her first s-rank assignment. She did not exceed the assignment and became a prisoner of a frightening man until she managed to escape, but this man was not him. There was a knife at her throat forcing her down from the tree with him. With the rest of his aggressors surrounding the novices and apprentice they made a way for their leader to come through with Rebekah. Once the man stopped she chuckled a bit. Jumping from the ground she came up and placed her feet on his chest and pushed down. Now their leader was on the ground with Rebekah standing on him. "First lesson...never get caught...but if you do...know how to escape..." she said. "Second lesson...how to take out large groups..." she said pulling a couple needles that were so thin they were almost invisible from her hidden places among her body. Flinging them slightly they planted themselves in almost have of the aggressors necks killing them on the spot. "I'll leave the rest to you..." she said moving quickly and disappearing back into the trees to treat the novices that had been struck down.

Nova kept his eyes intent on the package they were protecting. At the same time, he pondered on how valuable was that said person since obviously they weren't hired for nothing. As he looked on, he heard faint rustlings in the trees above. Birds... or? Whatever it was Nova's caution heightened slightly. He flicked out his claws in retaliation and growled out, "Incoming assault!" to warn his fellow team mates on the anticipated attack. True to his words, the novice upfront had already been pinned down by one of their assailants. The remaining novices swiftly formed a tight circle, protecting the client from all angles. Nova had several assigned, including himself, to face the assailants head on.
As Nova fought off his share of aggressors, he had to backtrack to the circle as well to fend off those trying to break their defensive wall around the client. He sustained a few injuries in the process but none of which that could be considered fatal. The novices seemed to be handling their own fight pretty well. Putting up a great effort before succumbing to their loss. In the midst of it all, the chaos suddenly took a a sudden halt as Rebekah flew down with their assailant's leader, seemingly crushing him beneath her feet then flinging out poison needles taking down the aggressors near the wall.
"I'll leave the rest to you..." with those words, she disappeared back into the trees. Ch'. Taking all the limelight, eh, master? Nova grinned as he elbow-punched an oncoming assailant who was about to pounce onto him. "Okay, you heard her, freshies! Let's pump up this beat and finish them off!" he barked out the order. He then approached the circle and yanked the collar of their client. "...-And you. Stay with me." He continued to slash through several more foes while hanging on to the client as he left the novices free to attack at their own will after previously being tied down with their defensive task from before.

☠ Rebekah Nightlock ☠ [Arlight City] Watching from afar Rebekah nodded at their fighting. Sitting quietly in a tree you would have thought there was nothing there. In the silence it made her think back into her life before become what she is now. Just the thought of it made her heart race and her vision blur. Almost all of the aggressors were dead and she decided it was time to go back to the group, continue the mission, and give a status report. Jumping off the tree, she had not fully recovered from the flash back side effects, her foot caught on a stray branch and she landed on her back. Sitting up slowly she was even more dizzy than before. She heard a voice by her right ear that made her cringe. Curling into a ball she covered her eyes speaking softly to herself "You're not really here....you're not really here..." after a couple minutes the feeling went away and she progressed slowly towards her group taking time to recoup on the way to make sure not to scare them. As she reached the group she saw they had killed everyone off and her team was still intact. "Good job...lets finish up this mission to mind a place to stay for the night in Arlight City..." she said. Arlight city was the place where they were dropping off the man they were protecting. They would soon reach there. The large Japanese style castle was hard to miss as it stretched across the horizon.
Rebekah turned to her team as they approached the gates. "Well done on your first mission...feel free to roam and buy things to take back to camp tomorrow...the red light district, for any of those who like things like that, is to the left right as we enter the gate. The place we will be staying is to the left down about 5 buildings. Be sure to not stay out late and get some sleep." she said walking up to the gate of the city. It opened revealing the hussle and bussle of of Japanese styled people. Females were kimonos and male wearing samurai outfits or farmer outfits. Getting the pay slip from the client she saw him off and looked to see most of the team had dispersed to go to the red light district. The red light district is where the geishas and whores are.

Funkehhh... Nova grinned widely as he held aloft his arms, inspecting the garment he was now wearing instead of his previous attire. It felt surprisingly warm and comfortable despite having to wear the inner and outer layers simultaneously. His blonde hair was slightly shifted with makeshift pins but everything else about him screamed samurai wannabe.
Being able to explore the city unsupervised kept Nova grinning like a mad man. It was definitely a change of environment compared to the base. Upon their arrival to Arlight City, Rebekeh had them dispersed followed by instructions of a regroup later on. Nova's spontaneous initial point of action was to coalesce with the natives in order to weave seamlessly through the crowd thus avoiding undesirable attention. As one of such profession, he preferred wandering covertly as another unimportant figure among the mass of local dwellers. Hence, his subtle change of appearance.
Later on, he found himself looking up at a large worn out wooden sign of an unfamiliar type of writing. Loud chatters of joy and melodic tunes of the shamisen were heard inside. Nova instantly knew that he had heedlessly chanced himself upon a hanamichi. He cast a slight glance to his right on towards the shadowed streets. A long procession of red lanterns were seen hung along the road, further emphasizing its red light district moniker though literally the name was intended to describe the secluded population of brothels and geisha quarters alike. Well... an opportunity like this should not be wasted... he thought insidiously as he slowly slid the door opened.

☠ Rebekah Nightlock ☠ [Arlight City] Rebekah had stopped at the motel to check in to their room. They would all be sleeping in the same quarters, just separate beds. She took the time while she was there to change into a kimono. The kimono fit to her figure just right letting the curves of her body stand out. The fabric was a fine silk the design consisted of a light blue, purple, and dark blue mixture with black embroidery designs wrapping around every curve and outlining the highlights of the kimono. Pulling her hair back she fit two of her poisoned needles in it neatly to keep it in place. Putting on a little make up she looked like she had just stepped out of the castle that was in this city.
Leaving the room she bowed to the motel owner as she left. The hotel owner was stunned at the transformation wondering if it was even the same person. Walking out into the streets she attracted the eyes of many me. Not paying much attention to them she walked towards the red light district to keep an eye on her men to make sure they didn't get into any trouble. Seeing one several of her men hanging themselves over women. Looking form side to side she laughed at how all men were the same. Lust was all they lived for, just like...him...she thought for a moment but quickly let his image fade from her mind. At the sound of music she looked towards a door and entered hastily seeing that a geisha show was soon to begin. Sitting towards the back the candles were blown out and the smoke form them filled the air along with their perfume scent. A few men tore their eyes away form Rebekah to watch the now beginning show. A beautiful woman came out and began to dance. Something about the woman rubbed her the wrong way. She seemed very familiar. Letting the feeling of uncomfortable feeling pass she tried to enjoy the dancing. As the dancing came to an end a man come out of stage thanking everyone for coming to watch and that the next show would start soon, but before that he wanted to play a game with the audience. The game was simple...it was a game of hide and seek except reversed. The first person to catch 'it' and bring it to him won a great prize. So now it was time to pick 'it'. Walking through the crowd he looked everyone over. Walking to the back row his eyes rested on Rebekah and smiled "You..." he said gently grabbing Rebekah's arm and pulling her to the stage. Her eyes were wide. Why her out of all these people. Of course this had to happen to her. The men in the join were whistling and saying things like 'This'll be easy.'. The man continued to explain the game. If the woman got back her within an hour without being caught...she would win the prize. And with this...the game began. Rebekah was given a 10 second head start. Running out of the geisha house she looked around for a place to hide. Her eyes found an alley way. She made her way there sliding in between the buildings. Using them for support she climbed up to the roof of the building laying low to not be seen as she saw the men rush out of the geisha house to look for her.

"Victory yet again. Pay up, men!" Nova flashed a shrewd grin as the men he was playing karuta with groaned in frustration upon their yet once again defeat at the hands of the blonde gaijin sitting across their table. Their accompanying geishas each tried their best to console their assigned partisans for that night. Karuta was a game vastly foreign to outsiders yet the blonde guest had somehow obtained the upper-hand. How was it possible that the outsider in front of them had some form of knowledge about their most persevered Ogura Hyakunin Isshu poetries?
"You... play well."
Nova spontaneously turned his head towards the source of the voice. It belonged to a young female who was now staring at him interestedly with abounding large eyes. She wore a standard distinguished geisha makeup of that of a pale white spread foundation, accentuated charcoal-lined eyes and ruby red laced lips. "Yeah. I practiced." Nova's reply was short. His tone clearly stoic as he proceeded to collect his winnings, ignoring the presence of his admirer. "Tonight... I am for you." Her tone was seductive as she intentionally danced her fingers upon his left arm. "Wari." Nova stood up and slid his prize money into his garb. "Homo da... ore." He grinned as he caught the stunned expression spread across her face as she heard his confession of sexual preference. He didn't bother to elaborate, more or less indicate the truthfulness or deceit in the revelation. "Mata na." With a slight wave gesture, he made his way towards the exit and stepped outside into the night cool air.
It was at that moment, a blurry image of a female raced across his line of vision followed by a scent which he thought seemed familiar... to an extent. "Huh?" was the only word that had managed to escape from his lips as an instant reaction to that certain spur of the moment. For several seconds, he argued with himself whether or not to give in to his curiosity but later shrugged and decided that it was something that he shouldn't be dragging himself into. However, he was still bothered by the scent he had just sniffed unintentionally. It reeked of... poison.

☠ Rebekah Nightlock ☠ [Arlight City] Laying on the roof very still to keep from being noticed Rebekah watched another group of men go by. Sitting up a little to get a better view she head foot steps behind her. Reaching for the needles placed carefully in her hair she whipped around and aimed for his shoulder. As she came around the figure grabbed her hand and squeezed until she dropped the needle. She yelped a little then regretted showing a sign of weakness.
Looking up at the strangers face her eyes went wide and her face as pale as the rising moon. Her wrist still in his hand she made an attempt to back away from him. As her back felt a rush of hair she knew she had reached the edge of the roof, but she couldn't help but look into the eyes that made her wither in fear. The figure smiled. Why was he here of all places. Why did he have to come at this time, in front of all her pupils, and show her fear to them all.
Not so long ago, maybe a year, she was out on a mission for assassination. The man was known by the name of Damon. He apparently had killed lots of men and taken their wives as his own slaves. Her job was to sneak in at night and do the deed, kill him, but things did not go as planned. The night she snuck in he wasn't asleep like she had hoped so it made her mission a little harder. She was as quiet as air. Her movements fluid. She came up behind him dagger in hand ready to take his life when he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the ground making her dagger fall from her hands. turning to face her the dimly lit room Illuminated his face. His features were sharp and beautiful. His moss green eyes seemed to see right through you. His shaggy black hair was messy, but in a good way. She couldn't help but stare, but as soon as he grabbed her other wrist she broke her stare and was trying for escape. His grip was extremely strong, but he only looked about 20. Her heart raced as he pulled her to position in her laps. He began to kiss her. Her eyes squeezed together and her head turned violently to avoid it, but it was futile. There was something on his lips that made her tired. Some type of poison that made her go numb and pass out.
When she woke up she was in a bed completely naked next to the man that was suppose to be dead right now. Blushing at the fact he probably saw everything she shook it off and started her second attempt for the kill. Going in to snap he neck her hand touched his neck and his hands whipped out and grabbed her own pulling her over him to lay beside him. "What do you think your doing Ms. Assassin." he whispered into her ear. It made her shiver. When she came back to reality she broke away from her and stood up from the bed forgetting she was naked and out form under the covers. Damon sat up on one elbow and looked her over. "Not bad, it was indeed a great idea to make you my new pet." He said with a smirk. I covered myself immediately blushing. A whole year of torture and harassment until she trained well enough to where one night she escaped and got back to camp. She was exhausted and only had a bed sheet to cover herself. People rushed to her care.
So now as she sat here on this roof making eye contact with the only person in the world who scared her to death. She was numb her heart felt like it would beat out of her chest. He smiled evilly. "It been a long time...Rebekah..." he said.
