He narrowed his eyes in the direction of NC4 and the guard before closing them briefly.[color=00aeef][i]'In through the nose, out through the mouth, heart rate lowering, breathing minimizing....'[/i][/color] He took one finally breath as he heard pieces of something fleshy and heavy hit the floor and snapped his eyes open to what was formulated as the cue. [color=a36209]"Thank you, sir."[/color] [color=00aeef][b]"[url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiding_in_Mist_Technique]Kirigakure no Jutsu[/url]"[/b][/color] He said in almost a hushed whisper, only those who were on the headset with him may have been able to make out what he said but the only way was to see the mist itself actually form in order to know that Gin activated it. His figure quickly faded into the heavy mist before he started to move. Gin made sure that his jutsu spread throughout the manor, inside and out. It managed to have it roll over the manor as naturally as possible but thanks to his training at a young age and especially training with the mist itself, this was no problem. As far as he was concerned, his footsteps were like that of a cat, nimble, quick and silent. He was in his silent killing mode; make the least amount of noise while utilizing the maximum killing proficiency. He refused to use the staircase but chose to use the ceiling as his method of maneuvering the second floor hallway. Applying enough chakra for the jump to the ceiling he crouched low and sprung upwards, twisting himself so that he would land feet first. As he touched the ceiling, he made sure his momentum was dispersed evenly by landing on his toes first and slowly bringing himself back onto the heel before he made his way up the staircase. About halfway there he heard a bit of a commotion which sounded more or less like two guards, most likely talking about something. As he moved along the ceiling he heard two guards below him who seemed to be in alarm from the sudden mist that had moved through theanor itself. Applying the necessary amount of chakra to his hands he scaled down from the ceiling to the floor just behind them before making a water clone. His movements went unheard as he moved in behind the two, slowly drawing his blade. They were close enough to each other that he and his clone would need only one swing to take them out. His clone withdrew a kunai Gin looked over and gave him a nod. His clone moved in, quickly slicing the neck of the guard that was on the left while Gin swung down at an angle, severing the other guard from the shoulder to the chest before sheathing his blade again. The guard that Gin had dismembered had gave a quickly silenced scream as the blade cut into his flesh. His clone dispersed leaving only a puddle of water that slowly mixed in with the blood that begun to pool from the dead guards. [color=00aeef][i]'Gotta find Fi's room.'[/i][/color] He raced down the hallway, looking at each door for the elegant design that represented the daughters personal room. As he searched he heard the faint sound of a young lady singing at the end of the hall. His eyes widened as he slowed down when he was 20 feet from the room. He looked at the doorway, a beautiful designed that accentuated their wealth and the land they were from. Slowly he placed his hand on the doorknob and as quietly as possible turned the knob. As he entered he looked across the room to a nearby window where a small desk was with a mirror hanging just above it. Fi was brushing her hair and humming a beautiful soothing tune. It was a shame really, there seriously had to be no reason to kill her. From what he could see, she was just innocent. He made his way up to Fi who hummed joyfully in her chair to herself as she looked in the mirror, quickly taking notice to Gin's presence. [i][color=00aeef]'There is no way-'[/color][/i][color=0054a6] "Hello one who protects Chihiro!"[/color] She greeted in a cheery voice. Gin snapped out of his thoughts with a quick response. [color=00aeef]"G-Gin's fine, Fi-sama. Call me Gin."[/color] His voice seizing on him slightly at the beginning. He managed to get quickly give the young woman an eye smile, though it did not have any authenticity to it. [color=00aeef]"So Fi-sama, how long have you known Chihiro-sama?"[/color] Fi sat there for a moment as she thought. [color=0054a6]"All my life really. It's been a long time since I saw her so I'm so glad that I had that chance again."[/color] She looked up and smiled at him. [color=0054a6]"I really look up to her, she's like my big sister.[url=http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Naruto%20Ost%20despair%20full&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=naruto%20ost%20despair%20full&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&mid=E569CD3D0105BF43FC6EE569CD3D0105BF43FC6E] "To be honest I don't know what I would do without her."[/url] [/color] This struck Gin to the center of his core as it could be seen on his face in a harden gaze that seemed to reach into her sole. He was now torn mentally on what to do. [color=00aeef][i]'No...I can do it. Maybe this is a front, a façade...But it can't be, she seems to genuine. But if I don't do it, then Chihiro-chan will. I can't let her burden this...[/i][/color] A somberness fell over his face as he moved closer to Fi which made her feel slightly uneasy. [color=0054a6]"M-Mr. G-Gin?"[/color] Swiftly Gin drew his blade, sparking as it flew out of its sheath into a high pitch chirping, that alone was enough to startle Fi into a silent scream. She just sat there wide eyed as Gin heaved the blade into the air and looked her in the eye, a single tear falling from his face. His voiced trembled [color=00aeef]"I-I'm sorry, Fi-chan...Forgive me."[/color] as he swiftly brought the blade down. Fi had just enough time to lean backwards as the blade cut into her shoulder. Had she not, she would have been sliced in to. It was at this point she screamed and raced to the doorway as Gin stood there, sadness resting permanently on his face as he body flickered in front of her. He ran right into him but he held his ground as she fell backwards. Tears welled up in her eyes as her voiced trembled in a panic. [color=0054a6]"G-G-Gin-kun p-please! S-Stop! P-Please"[/color] Gin gritted his teeth. [i][color=00aeef]"This is fucking insane."[/color][/i] He thought as his own tears rolled down his face. He closed his eyes and swallowed hard in order to suppress the rising guilt from within. He raised his blade and looked at her one last time. [color=00aeef]"I wish I could."[/color] Everything seemed to slow down as the blade descended and Fi, who seemed to be an innocent girl who was just dragged into this, scream one last time as she covered herself with her arms in an attempt to save herself...... [h2][i]CRACK![/i][/h2] Fi had opened her eyes to see Gin kneeled on the floor in front of her with his head down on it, tears were running down his face if one looked close enough. [color=00aeef]"I....I can't d-do it. I won't be able to live with myself if I knew I took the life of an innocent."[/color] This is what she heard over the chirping sound of the blade planted next to her in the floorboards. Gin believed she was innocent and that that was final, she was caught up in a cruel scheme that her father was a part of and was being punished for nothing other then being related. [color=0054a6]"W-W-What? What do you mean?"[/color] She was wide eyed and scared, her voice still trembled as he continued to look at the floor. Slowly Gin sat up, refusing to look at her directly. With a shaky hand he removed the headset and placed it on the ground. [color=00aeef]"Please Fi, forgive me. I didn't want to do this in the first place."[/color] [color=0054a6]"D-Do w-what?"[/color] [color=00aeef]"I even questioned it."[/color] [color=0054a6]"Questioned what? G-Gin.. What are you talking about?[/color] She was scared but at the same time concerned for Gin. He looked up and into her eyes. [color=00aeef]"I...I can't"[/color]
