The Killing Of Nether The Less
The Head of the Less Clan of Edo Japan, gazed out the window of the head retainer’s mansion watching his daughter fight with the boys in the courtyard.
She whirled like a ballerina as she clobbered the boys with her kendo stick.
“She is amazing wouldn’t you say?”
The assassin had slipped into the room without a sound, and answered, “Yes a true warrior. Now please draw your sword.”
“Who are you?” Asked Nether the leader of the House Of The Less.
“I am just an assassin, draw your sword and have some honor.”
The bloody assassin turned to walk out the door and was face to face with the little girl from the courtyard. She threw a bag on the ground at the man’s feet, “That is 500 Ryo.”
“Who am I to kill?” Asked the Killer.
“The man who hired you to kill us. Is 500 Ryo worth killing for?”
The girl drew her sword with a flash of light and saw the assassin’s blade as she left the world.
Two weeks later.
“Did you kill Nether The Less?”
“Yes and his dead daughter hired me. Draw your sword, and die with honor.”
