Well... I just had to vent out all this angst... and this will be my first tragic one-shot thingy... so chyeah... good luck to me .-.
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love...
What have you done now?
Fate's POV
"Lighting, your target for today will be this woman, code-named "Stars One". She specializes in assassinations in both short and long range. Her name is Nanoha Takamachi." The director explained in a nonchalant voice, gesturing at the pictures of the target.
My eyes widened in surprise. The girl who I was assigned to bring in toay was the one I met once, a week ago, to be exact. She was really nice--the kind of girl you'd think would be a teacher and run a bakerya at the same time.
"...And Lightning... you aren't assigned to bring her in. Your assignment is to take her down." The director added, after seeing my expression.
"Sir, if I may ask, why is this woman classified to be so dangerous that we have to take her out?" I asked, finally being able to gather up the courage to do so.
He places his files and folders down and sits down beside me, quickly fixing his suit before finally turning to face me.
"Harlaown, this woman has killed several important people already and her name in the underground world is one to be feared," he paused, trying to collect his thoughts, "This girl has the power to threaten the life of our president, cabinet members, and God knows who. The agency doesn't want her alive."
I pause to analyze what the director had just told me and finally gave my answer, "Understood sir. It will be done."
I stood up, saluted him and took my leave. It takes around five to ten minutes to walk from the briefing room to the LZ--where the helicopter that housed my favorite sniper, Bardiche, an SDM-R sniper rifle effective at 600 yards, was located.
Today was supposed to be like any other day. You get assigned to a mission, complete the requirements, and get a short break from all the commotion. However, today I get the feeling that I will not like what I will be doing next. Live can just be really mean to you at times... you know what they say: It you're going through hell, keep going.
"Yo! Harlaown, another mission I see?" Vice called out in an energetic manner.
I smiled and reply, "I guess. Are you the pilot for my flight today?"
"You betcha. You have 2 minutes to study the opponent's and your locations... I'll be right back to double check everything else that needs to be double checked." He said in a carefree manner and immediately marched off to double-check everything we needed for the ride.
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
Nanoha's POV
"...Roger. It will be done." I replied monotonously to the person on the other line who was tasked to give me this mission.
Er... writer's block... sorry... this will be all for now so this will be PART ONE.
I have a bad feeling about this Sig-chan....T.T But keep going I want to see what happens.

I also have a feeling something bad will happen.
Well... I put in the word tragic... but I honestly have NO idea where I'm going with this... xD
Part two... o.o why am I on a roll with updating today? XD
"We will be expecting a lot from you since you are the best sniper in the organization." The voice replied calmly.
Nanoha then closed her phone and gave out an exhausted sigh. Her daughter, Vivio, tilted her head a bit in wonder with what was going on with her mother.
"Is there something wrong Nanoha-mama?" The small girl asked.
Nanoha simply shook her head and answered, "There isn't anything wrong Vivio... Nanoha-mama is just tired for today."
Nanoha is never the type to lie to anyone especially her own daughter but when she does it's because she has a good reason. No, she only has one reason: the organization.
The doorbell rang and Nanoha let out another sigh and went outside to see who it was. Unfazed as to who the visitor was, she silently gave a nod and accepted the briefcase that was being handed to her.
"Target is Hayate Yagami. Sixteen hundred hours, today." The man took out an envelope and gave it to Nanoha. "Half now and half when you get it done Takamachi."
Nanoha accepted to folder and replied coolly, "I always get it done."
I still have no clue as to where I'm going with this... @_@ and it looks like this will be pretty... no... very long @___@ so splitting it in parts might be good for my health.
Muahahahahaha... the suspense... the horror... xD
You will just have to wait :D
