Combatant Side story: Clumsy Sparrow in action(optional)

A dark and not particularly elegant shadow was dashing through the moon less streets of Rasheul.

“Eeeeek!!!!”

The ninja just barely dodged(fell down) the bullet that zipped over her head.

“You fooking bitch!”

“Get back ere!”

“We fook ya in ye fooking ye ass!”

This and other colorful expletives screamed the armed goons that where chasing her.

It’s not fair!

First she got crushed by that crazy butch axe wielder in the first round of that stupid tournament! And now she can’t even steal a stupid stone from a bunch of scary looking thugs without getting chased!

Kanami hates this stupid town!

Desperately trying to avoid the horde of gangsters hot on her tail(Kanami doesn’t have a tail, it’s just a figure of speech ok?), the ninja rushed through the backalleways of the Noble Hill district. Luckily, Kanami was a competent ninja and so she only slightly exposed her panties via bumping into various sharp objects.

She shouldn’t have worn her froggy pair today!

But it looks like Kanami will made it! These guys behind her aren’t particularly fast, she just needs to…

bamf.

Kanami slipped on a banana peel.

“There she is!”

“Capture the cunt!”

Not long after, Kanami was surrounded by no less then ten very scary looking goons.

“Do we kill her?”, inquired Goon number 1

“I say, yes! The fooking bitch broke me teeth!”, endorsed Goon number 2.

“No way, look at her. She’s looking pretty fine, she can serve as a cum dump back at the mansion. Kyahahahayayahhahahueè!”, recommended Goon number 3

Ugh..,Kanami did not like the way these guys looked at her.

“You have a lot of nerve, attacking us, girlie.” One of the goons stepped forward. He had a pink Mohawk and a nasty scar and looked especially ugly so he must be the leader. He also had the red thingie Kanami wanted. Uh, the red ball, Right, she almost succeeded in snatching it but she accidentally grabbed the guys balls instead(Eww...)

“Ah, give me that!”, Kanami demanded.

But Kanami’s demand was only met with blank stares.

“Are you soft in the head, bitch? Do you even know what this is? This is worth more then your miserable life ten times over! And speaking off, better prepare yourself, because we are going to…”

Mohawk stopped monologuing mid sentence.

That was because he fell to the ground, either dead or ****.(Let’s hope dead.)

In his place stood a tall, tanned, masked but undeniable feminine figure that deftly pocketed the marble.

“F-Freya!”, Kanami gasped in relief. “I...I mean Black Cuckoo! I don’t know any Freya! Who’s Freya? Not you!”

The rest of the goons needed a bit to comprehend what just had happened. But the new intruder would not give them that time.

In the blink of an eye, she knocked two more goons out.

“K-Kill her!”

Now the rest of them where drawing guns and shooting at the enemy. Kanami screamed and ducked for cover, which resulted in further wardrobe malfunction. Somehow.

Black Cuckoo meanwhile handled the situation more gracefully. Thanks to a combination of low visibility, general disorder, turning quickly into panic and her innate skill she had little trouble avoiding the barrage of bullets.

Calmly, she grabbed Kanami by the waist and escaped in the confusion.

…

..

.

“An impressive performance”, the scary looking maid said as she took the small red marble. “I heard they only suffered minor injuries?”

“Due to friendly fire”, Black Cuckoo clarified. “I apologize for the inconvenience.”

“It is quite alright”, the client maid provided Freya with a cash card. “As per contract, 5000 Gold coins for the successful retrieval of the Blood Soul.”

A blood soul. Kanami stared at the tiny, beautiful orb and almost drooled. That thing is worth like a billion gold coins! They should have just run away with it!

“I take it you are aware this is a forgery?”, Freya stated.

“Of course I am.”

“It’s not real?”, Kanami gasped, suddenly realizing that the stupid marble looked very cheap and fake. “Why did we even have to steal some fake thingie from your own men! That’s dumb! And your goons suck! I hope they all die painfully!”

The maid glared in response. “Is your colleague always this nosy?”

“Unfortunately so”, Black Cuckoo softly chuckled as she stored the cash card away. “My apologies.”

“This was to test their aptitude”, the scary maid explained nonetheless. “And I must admit they have failed spectacularly. To give such a poor showing against an opponent that did not even resort to lethal ****. We will have to drastically intensify our training.” Kanami did not like the look in her eyes.

“Would you perchance be open for a more permanent position?”, the maid asked.

“I am afraid not”, Black Cuckoo denied. “I am a freelance assassin.”

“I see. That is unfortunate.”

“I agree.” Black Cuckoo nodded. “I do however offer an insurance service. 500 Gold coins and I will decline any contract involving your organization for a year. You receive a 10% discount if you buy ten years.”

The scary maid just turned a little bit scarier. “I do not take threats against my Mistress lightly.”

Kanami almost(but not actually!) wet herself.

The tension went like this for several seconds before ultimately the maid relented.

“Bought.”,she simply stated.

…

..

.

“Haaaa.” Kanami sighed. That sucked!

“Your panties are showing.”

“Eeek!”, blushing, Kanami covered her butt(Unfortunately there was tears on the front of her pants as well and the rest of the uniform for that matter) “But at least I got lot’s of money for new clothes now!” Kanami grinned proudly.

Black Cuckoo tossed her companion five gold coins. “Don’t spend it all in one place.”

“What!”, the ninja cried out in indignation. “You got 5000 of them!”

“Which was my reward. In case you have forgotten, we were hired separately. For all accounts I should have left you at their mercy.”

“Ugghh…” Kanami grumbled frustrated and stamped her foot. “I hate this stupid town!”

“I found it quite lucrative”, Black Cuckoo responded. “I estimate no issues in winning my bracket at least. That will be another 6000 Gold coins plus the ransom for the Parancho crown prince.”

Kanami turned almost green with envy at her colleagues fortune. “Why are you so stingy then! Give me some money! I want to be rich! And buy cute clothes! And get a cute prince as a boyfriend!”

“I give you fifty gold coins if you walk back to the dorm naked.”

“What!”, Kanami gasped in shock. “N-No way! That’s super embarrassing!”

“Come on.” Freya clinked a couple of coins together. It made a very pleasant sound. “You can keep your shoes on. Socks too.”

There’s n-no way. F-fifty Gold. T-that’s a lot of cute new clothes. B-but naked? Like butt naked? But fifty coins.

Freya clinked her coins some more.

…

..

.

“Ehehehehe.”

Kanami happily clutched her fiftyfive coins. It was super embarrassing, of course, but it was a late moonless night and she was a skilled ninja. And while the fighters dorm in particular was always crowded, she had a plan. Stick to the shadows and then climb up onto the fighters way! From there she could slip back in the dorm unnoticed. Even if somebody were to look up, all they would see was a naked shadow.

Kanami was pretty smart!

It was still pretty nerve wracking. To give a better view on the fighters entering the arena, the fighters way was actually transparent and there where definitely figures right beneath. Kanami’s heart was pounding pretty fast.

Just focus on the cute clothes. There is a boutique inside the fighters dorm. Kanami fantasized about all the clothes she will be able to buy and grinned to herself.

Luckily nobody looked up. The ninja sighed a breath of relief as she reached the dorm door. Now she only need to get back to her room and...

Click.

“Eh?”

Kanami pushed the door handle.

But nothing happens.

That was weird.

Kanami was pretty sure that doors work in that way that you push the door handle down and then the door swings open.

And yet, no matter how many times she pushed the handle down, the result was the same.

Eh?

Eh?

Was this one of these doors that you have to pull instead of pushing?

As it happens, this particular door was locked at night for security reasons. But Kanami had trouble understanding that concept right now as she pushed the handle down over and over again, sadly to no difference.

Then something else demanded her attention..

The part where Kanami was standing was suddenly illuminated by multiple bright lights.

Directly underneath, Kanami locked eyes with at least a dozen people, all equipped with cameras flash lights and rare rare stones.

All pointed at her.

At Kanami.

Who was completely naked(except for shoes and socks)

“EEEEEEEEEEEKKK!”

Kanami desperately tried to cover up her body, spilling her gold coins in the process. But that only resulted in getting even more attention. Finally, Kanami decided to run away, but since the fighters way looped around half the arena and she really didn’t want to jump off it was fairly easy to follow her.

Ultimately well over a thousand people would witness the ninja’s nightly streaking and by tomorrow Kanami would make the headline and frontpage article of Rasheul news.(with pictures!)

Freya was counting the gold coins the head of the 20 member strong Kanami fanclub was gleefully paying her for the privilege of seeing their idol in her most exposed state. Admission cost was 20 gold coins per person(25, if she still had her socks on and 30 if Kanami would end up wetting herself)

That would be another easy 600 gold coins for the industrious assassin.
