Beside her stood her companion, the "stuffy British guy" with whom she was paired with got this contract. [i]"Well, seems like we made it in one piece."[/i] Her mission was simple: within these ruins there was a book, a very special book, and she was to retrieve it. Inside the book were secrets meant for inhuman eyes, but not hers. All she knew was that her employer was paying her an exorbitant amount to retrieve this book. However she had been warned of resistance. A rival corporation had hired two other mercenaries to retrieve the book as well, and they were here, no doubt. She had been told to handle them using force, of course, but [b]no guns[/b]. Her boss didn't want a stray bullet to damage the tome. She hated that rule, and so did her guns. Her shotgun, Hana, and her pistol, Goku, were seated within their holsters on her back. She'd have to leave them here for the mission, leaving her with her sword and dagger, Akuma and Sei. Just then, her companion spoke. A big, muscular man called Tordor, his voice was light and accented, since he was British and all. [i]“We should get started. The Lady mentioned we might run into trouble if we took too long. We might not be the only ones looking for this thing.”[/i] [color=pink]"Mmm. Might as well disarm then. No guns, remember?"[/color] Her voice was quite accented with her native Japanese, even though she'd been speaking English for as long as she'd become a Reaper. She was the second newest amongst the Four Horsemen, the newest being the Russian, Nataliya. The rest of her team wasn't here though, they were all busy doing their own thing for now. She drew her guns and placed them gently on empty racks nearby. As her hands left her shotgun the two weapons apparently awoke, judging from the eyes that opened sleepily to gaze at her. [color=fdc500]"Eh? [i]Itsuki-chan? Nan desuka?"[/i] [sub](Eh? Itsuki? What's up?)[/sub][/color] Her pistol, Goku, spoke first. He was the quicker of the lot, though also quick to anger. She smiled as she gave the top of the little gun a pat. [color=pink]"[i]Daijobu, Goku. Watashi wa shibarakunoaida nokoshite imasu.[/i]" [sub](It's okay, Goku. I'm just leaving you here for a while.)[/sub][/color] Goku's eyes widened. The little pistol started hopping about in his rack angrily as she knelt to be on their level. [color=fdc500]"[i]Nani?! Naze anata wa, ni sotte atsukamashī chīsana on'nanoko ga watashi o toru koto ga dekima -[/i]" [sub](What?! How dare you leave me here, you impudent little gi -)[/sub][/color] [color=00dd88]"[i]Goku-san.[/i]"[/color] [color=fdc500]"[i]Eh?[/i]"[/color] Hana, below him, signed and shook its...head? Barrel? Itsuki couldn't tell. [color=00dd88]"[i]Watashitachiha, Itsuki wa, kanojo ga yatte, naze tan'ni rirakkusu shite daun shizumerute inai koto o shitte iru kakushin shite imasu ka? Anata wa nokori no bubun ni ōku no jikan o sagashite ita iimasendeshita ka?[/i]" [sub](We are sure that Itsuki knows what she's doing, so just relax and quieten down, okay? You did say you wanted time to relax by yourself, right?)[/sub][/color] [color=fdc500]"[i]Sh-shikashi, kanojo wa totsuzen no nai basho no man'naka de watashitachi o hōki suru hitsuyō wa arimasen![/i]" [sub](B-but she doesn't have to abandon us here by ourselves!)[/sub][/color] [color=pink]"[i]Gokū, daijōbudesu. Mata, watashi wa Akuma-san to watashi to Sei-san o motte imasu. Daijōbu.[/i]" [sub](Goku, it's okay. Besides, I have Akuma-san and Sei-san with me. It's okay.)[/sub][/color] At that, the pistol settled down, grumbling under his breath. She smiled. Her little Goku could be such a handful at times. As the pistol and shotgun got comfortable in their racks, she stood and rolled her shoulders. Only two weapons remained on her: an elegant katana with a black sheath gilded with flowers, and a shorter knife in its own sheath. The two weapons were attached to her back by way of several vines that grew out of her. Itsuki walked back to where her colleague stood and smiled sheepishly. [color=pink]"Sorry. Having living weapons is like raising children. They all throw tantrums every now and then."[/color] She extended her hand for the man to shake. [color=pink]"Ishida Itsuki. Reaper of Famine. A pleasure."[/color]
