BOOK 1: THE BEGINNING

Chapter 1: All my life I've been good, but now

It was a greater time in Italy during that time. The Italians were free from fascism and were free to be creative. Life was great, but there is always another side to a coin.

Though most people enjoy the freedom bestowed unto them by their new government, we cannot change the fact that not everyone would be satisfied, or be blessed with a life filled with riches.

This is where we start our story…

(Oi! Could you move it along! You're making this into some ancient documentary or some shit!)

I'm getting there, dammit! Now where was I? Ah, yes… in Rome, Italy…1960's

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"M-mother!" a young boy screamed as he held a corpse of a woman towards his small frame.

Another boy, younger than the first, was on the opposite side, clutching his hand on the woman's, feeling the coldness radiated by the dead body.

"F-fratello…" the younger brother said, his voice shaking as he couldn't tear his eyes away from the woman. "M-mama… mama's okay…right? She's…j-just sleeping. She'll wake u-up soon…like she a-always does…right" when the older boy did not reply, the younger began to shake "W-why aren't you agreeing? Haha… please don't joke around, fratello…it's -it's not funny"

The older boy glared at his brother. "Stop denying it" his voice held authority, for someone still young, worse of it, someone who had lost a parent. "Look! Take a good long look. Mama is gone, she'll never return. Try to understand quickly"

"N-no…You're lying! You always lie!"

The younger brother felt the air rush out of his lungs as his older brother had pinned him on the wall. "Say that again" the glare was intense, his voice held a threat and his eyes conveyed all his emotions. The younger on could see that now, the anger, the hatred, the sadness, all are seen in the eyes.

The elder dropped his brother on the floor and returned to the body of their mother.

The other watched his brother talk to their mother and went towards the kitchen.

The tears were now flowing down his face as the truth had sunk in. Their only family member was gone, and would never return. Their house was in ruins and no one would support them. They were alone, with nothing to lean on.

"Get up"

He looked up to see his brother holding a lighter and a bag. The bag was tossed to him as he got up and took it.

"Go outside. Everything in this house will forever stay here. This will be the grave of our mother's…" he stared his cold eyes at his brother "…and who we used to be"

Both got out of the house and watched it burn to the ground. Memories of them playing in the house, their mother cooking in the kitchen, the troubles they would cause, the nights all three of them slept together… all were burning away into a distant memory.

"Where will we go now, fratello?"

The older paused, then gave his brother a gentle smile. "This place is filled with too many memories. I think let's leave and find a new home. It would be hard, and we're still kids so we would have to learn to survive. Are you with me, Romulus?"

Romulus stared at the gentle smile of his brother then at the outstretched hand. He grinned as he took it. "Si! Always, Remus."

They took off leaving their past behind without so much of a single glance.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"You seem to be working really hard, Remus"

"Thanks you, Signor. I need to support my brother and I, somehow"

Remus and Romulus had made a new life for them. Though, Remus could not afford for Romulus to study in school, he thought his brother how to read and write, as well as math, English, Italian, and anything else he could teach the young boy.

It has already been a year since they had left their previous life. They moved to a small town just a few kilometers from their old one. At first it was hard for them, being orphans with no support would mean a lot of difficulties. There were already so many times that both were warned to be placed in an orphanage, but Remus always fought back. He was 17, and turning 18, meaning he could be a legal guardian to Romulus by the next year.

He had got a job as a dishwasher in a family restaurant. The owners were kind and felt pity towards the orphan brothers that they offered Remus the job, as well as a place to stay. They gave them an old apartment just a few blocks from the restaurant. It had just one bedroom, an ancient bathroom and the living room was too small, but beggars can't be choosy.

They gladly accepted the generosity and had been living there for months. They made new memories together and supported each other anyway they can. Remus would come home late from work, usually due to overtime, to see the house clean, dinner ready, and his brother would either be sleeping in the living room waiting for him, or he would be reading a book in the bedroom.

They love their new life.

Remus smiled as he worked diligently. He wanted to go home soon to see his precious brother.

"Remus~" the owner's wife called "You've been here for 6 months, so I think I could give you a raise"

Remus was shocked. "Signora? It's not that I mind, but…why the sudden…?"

The woman laughed. "I'm a mother, you know. It's hard trying to make a living while raising children. You have it a bit tougher, though. Taking care of your kid brother at a young age, it's quite sad." She stretched her arm and cupped his hands within hers "He may not say it, but I could see it. Romulus misses you. Whenever he visits, all he does is stare at you longingly. You've been working to make sure he has an easy lifestyle when all he wanted was a time with his older brother"

Remus was speechless. "H-how did you know…?"

She smiled. "I caught him spying on you. We talked, and I could understand what he feels. When I was younger, my parents never had time for me. That's why I make sure that I have time for my own children. So the could avoid the loneliness" she then crossed her arms and glared playfully at Remus "Now off you go or you're fired!"

Remus stood for a moment then laughed as he bade farewell and raced home towards his brother.

"Romulus! I'm back!"

"Fratello?" the voice of a 14 year old boy called. "What are you doing home? I thought you would be at work"

Remus laughed and tackled his brother and tickled him. They played and laughed for a while before lying on the floor, completely tired but happy. "I got a raise, so I would be home earlier"

Romulus couldn't believe what he heard. "R-really? Cross you heart?"

"What are we, three?" Remus chuckled as he hugged his brother one last time "Really. So expect to see me more, fratellino"

That night, they slept in their bedroom, all smiles, laughter, and sweet dreams.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"-ello"

Remus groaned and buried himself in their blankets.

"FRATELLO!"

Remus sighed and faced his grinning brother. "…what do you want? It's early…"

Romulus pouted, "You forgot, didn't you"

"Forgot what?"

"I knew it!" Romulus jumped off the bed and glared angrily at his brother. "How could you!" then he ran off.

Remus was shocked then became irritated, "What's his problem?" he stood up and got ready for work. When he was about to leave, he noticed a date encircled in their calendar.

Remus face palmed. Of course, how could he forget Romulus's Birthday? He had been reminding him of that for weeks. "Ugh, no wonder he got pissed." He stared at the date one last time then sighed. "I guess there's no other choice…" he locked his home and headed towards his work place.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"Stupid fratello" Romulus muttered as he wiped his eyes. He had expected his fratello to at least greet him happy birthday. He wanted to grow up as soon as possible so he could help his brother.

He loves his brother so much. He took the role as both the mother and father, as well as the caring older brother. He was his teacher, his friend, his one special person. He would do anything for his brother.

He heard a knock on the door.

"Who's there?"

"Romulus!" a female voice called. "It's Mrs. di Angelo. I'm here to pick you up"

Romulus perked up when he heard the person's name. Mrs. di Angelo was the restaurant owner's wife. A sweet middle-aged woman he had treated as an aunt. He loved her as well.

"Mrs. di Angelo!" Romulus cried as he opened the door to let his guest in. "It's been a while! Come in! We have some coffee…"

The woman laughed. "Thank you Romulus, but we're not staying. Change your clothes, and let's go to the restaurant"

"The restaurant…?"

The woman just smiled and dragged Romulus off.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

As they reached the restaurant, Romulus stopped. Mrs. Di Angelo turned to face him. "What seems to be the problem, dear?"

Romulus looked away. "Fratello forgot my birthday. I don't want to see him just yet"

Mrs. Di Angelo smiled gently. "Are you sure, little one? Why don't we find out?"

As they entered, the restaurant was filled with colorful decorations and a huge sign was hung on the wall.

'Happy 15th Birthday Romulus'

All Romulus could do was stare. He felt his heart flutter and his face heat up. He feels tears prick his eyes. It was the first time that he had celebrated his birthday. They were too poor to have a party, even when their mother was still alive.

"Happy Birthday" he heard a voice. He didn't have to see who said it. He immediately ran towards the voice and tackled him to the floor.

"Thank you" he said as he hugged his brother tight, tighter. "Fratello…I'm sorry I thought you forget. I should've known you would always be there for me"

Remus chuckled nervously.

"A-anyways" Remus stuttered, "Let's celebrate your birthday!"

The only people at the restaurant were the two brothers and the shop owners.

"Well Romulus, Happy Birthday!" Mr. di Angelo said as he patted the child's head.

Mrs. di Angelo laughed and kissed the child's cheeks. "Enjoy your day, darling. We'll be back in a few minutes. We have a present specially delivered for you"

Romulus beamed brightly. "Thank you very much"

They said their goodbyes as the couple left.

The two were happily eating the cake and joking around when they heard the glass shatter.

Remus was on high alert while Romulus could only stare in fright.

5 large men entered through the shattered glass. They wore black clothes and had a very intimidating aura. They scanned the perimeter until their eyes landed on the two brothers.

"Stay here and be quiet" Remus ordered.

Romulus nodded as he watched his brother walk closer to the men staring at them.

"I'm sorry sir but the restaurant is closed. Also, I would want to ask the bill for the broken glass"

The men laughed. "Think you're a tough guy, huh? We ain't paying shit and we ain't leavin' until this hell-hole is cash-free"

Remus frowned. "I'm afraid that won't do" he raised his right leg and kicked the man in front of him. The others charged at Remus, but he beat them one by one.

Romulus watched in amazement as his brother beat the shit out of the bad guys.

"Damn it!" one yelled as the pulled out a gun.

Romulus was shocked when he saw the guy point it on his brother. He quickly got out of his seat and charged at the man. He held the man's leg, not letting go.

"What the-?!" the man yelled as he tried to shake off Romulus. "Get off you brat!"

As the man pointed his gun on Romulus, Remus suddenly appeared and kicked the gun away.

"Shit!"

Remus then preceded to beat the man.

Romulus could care less about the violence his brother was showing. To him, Remus was a hero. Saving them both and the restaurant as well.

Remus stopped his attack on the unconscious man and turned to smile at Romulus but his eyes widened and he clutched his shirt and fell to the ground. Behind him, one of the men stood, a gun pointed on Remus.

Remus screamed in agony as his shirt was dyed in blood.

"That's what you get, motherfucker!" said the bruised man and he laughed.

Romulus dropped to the ground and stared at his brother for a moment before frantically crawling to him.

"Fratello!" he screamed, tears blurring his vision as he reached his brother. "Fratello!"

The laughing man stopped and pointed his gun on Romulus. "You're next"

Romulus closed his eyes and waited for his death until he heard sirens.

"Shit! The cops!" he pocketed the gun. "Stand up you shitheads!"

Slowly the men stood then ran fro their lives, but Romulus could care less. He held his dying brother in his arms. "Fratello? Are you leaving me too?"

Remus smiled and reached for his brother. "Romulus…" he kissed the forehead, the nose then a small peck on the lips. "I'll never leave"

In his heart, Romulus wanted to deny what is happening, that his brother would be in a hospital soon and survive but he knew, it was too late for any medical treatment. "Promise?"

Remus chuckled and caressed Romulus' face, "Promise. You promise me too, take care of yourself. Make a life you want. Live it with no regrets"

Romulus wiped his tears away as he smiled broadly at his brother. "I promise"

A strained smile was all he received before Remus went limp within his arms. He clutched his brother tighter into his chest as he sobbed and cried his heart out. A few minutes later, the police entered as well as some paramedics. They inspected the body and interviewed Romulus on what happened. The owners also got back and were shocked with what happened.

Romulus got up and kneeled in front of them. He apologized for everything.

He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Raise you head, boy. It is I who should be sorry. We were too late…"

When he felt the hand remove itself, he had suddenly found himself in a tight hug. Hesitant arms circled the body of the person holding him. "I'm sorry" the person cried, his shoulder wet with tears "I'm so sorry"

Tears were forming once again as he hugged tighter on the woman crying with him.

A picture of true happiness lost

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"Are you sur you want to leave?" Mrs. di Angelo asked as she handed a young man a bag filled with food supply.

"Yes" Romulus said, giving her a small smile. "There's nothing left for me here."

Mr. di Angelo took his hand and shook it. "Take care, and if you ever lost your way, come back. We'll be here"

"Thank you for the offer" Romulus bowed, "Farewell"

He waved goodbye at the couple as he went off.

He promised his brother that he would create a life for himself, a life he would never regret. He thought real hard and decided to leave town and start a new beginning. Mrs. di Angelo had rejected the idea of him leaving, but her husband seems to understand.

He had his brother buried on a hill within the local cemetery. They had a small ceremony and a few tears were shed. He lived in their apartment for a while then packed his things almost immediately.

He culprits were caught and were staying at the town jail. They were identified as local thugs who had gambled away their money, resulting to them stealing. No one claimed them as their own, and the police hated them for their rude behavior.

"Hey squirt!" a policeman said as he saw Romulus at the desk. "What do you need?"

"Nothing really" Romulus said. "I just wanted to see a relative of mine. He was arrested you see…"

The policeman gave him a sad smile. "I see, most of them are asleep though. It's siesta time."

Romulus shook his head. "I just need to see him, no need for anything else. We weren't close, you see, I was just curious on what he looks like"

The policeman thought for a bit before sighing, "Fine, a quick look wouldn't hurt right?"

"A quick look is all I need"

The policeman leads him through a long hallway and they landed on a room just a few cells away from the office. There were only 4, since one had just recently died. All of them were sleeping.

Romulus scanned the room. There was a small window just a few inches above the floor. The room was 3 cells from the office. The beds were angled just a bit towards the wall rather than the cell bars.

'Perfect' Romulus thought as he scanned one last time before nodding. He turned to the officer and gave him a gentle smile. "Thank you"

The officer rubbed his head and lead him out of the prison.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"We have an emergency sir!" a young officer said.

"And what would that be?"

"The four prisoners in cell block D are dead!"

"What?! How could that be?"

"No one knows, sir! Just a while ago, when rollcall was being made, those four didn't reply. So when the officer in-charge had to visit them, they were gone! All shot in the head!"

"Find the perpetrator!"

"Yes!"

Little did they know that a boy of fifteen had already slipped passed them.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

"This village looks like hell" Romulus commented as he stared at a very poor village.

The shops were filled with rotten food or broken hand-me-downs. The people were less than friendly towards everyone. Worst of all, residents seem to carry weapons down the street. It was a really shady town full of criminals.

"Ugh. Such a gross village…" he whispered as he passed through. "I wonder why someone even bothers to live here…"

As he exited the village, he saw a small well. Thirsty, he went over to grab a drink, as well as refill his water container. When he finally got the bucket of water, a voice boomed over him.

"What are you doing?"

Romulus turned to see a young woman about his age. She had silky gold hair that was braided in the middle. Her skin was porcelain white and her body was slim, but her bust and chest sizes seemed to be slow to grow. Another problem would be her voice. It was too deep. Well, women are women, even if they don't have a sexy body or a seductive voice.

"My apologies, signora. I am a traveler and have recently travelled a great deal" he tried to get his voice deeper to seduce the woman but the woman seemed to look at him with disgust. "I was thirsty and saw this well. Do you want help in getting water?"

From the look of disgust, the woman's face had changed to expressionless. "First of all, I do not need help. I could get it on my own. Secondly, I do not care if you are a traveler or thirsty but drinking in other people's property is illegal. Lastly, I am a man. Do not make me a woman fro your own entertainment."

'She's a man?!'

Romulus laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "This…is awkward. Sorry for that though." He then leaned closer to the young man. "Now that I think about it, you're quite pretty as a guy…" he leaned in even more "almost my type…"

The young man's eyebrow twitched as he moved to hit Romulus on the head.

"Ow!" he yelped in pain as he rubbed the spot "What was that for?!"

The deadpanned expression was still present but the voice seemed to hold a threat. "Do not get close to me."

Romulus thought for a bit before smiling. "I get it! You're not used to people, aren't you?"

The man gave him a 'Are-you-stupid-look' and rolled his eyes. "Think whatever you want"

Romulus grinned. "Then, let's be friends! Hi, I'm Romulus Vargas!"

"…" the man stared for a moment before answering. "Aldriech Beilshmidt"

"Beilshmidt? Isn't that a German surname? What are doing in Italy?"

As Aldriech began to get water, he replied. "My father was part of the German military during the war. He was injured and was confined in a hospital here. Due to this, we were forced to move. Once he had recovered, though, no one wanted to hire him, since he was a Nazi, and treatment towards Germans were cruel."

Romulus felt pity on the other boy, though his life wasn't great, at least he had people around him to care. "It must be rough, huh?"

"Not really"

He laughed. "Your scary stoic, you know that? Don't you know how to live life?"

Aldriech just shrugged. "I don't particularly care what other people think. Anyways, I have to leave. Try not to be an idiot, people here can sense those"

Romulus pouted. "Idiot? I'm not!"

Aldriech just shrugged again and walked away form Romulus.

"Hey!"

Aldriech glanced back to a beaming Romulus.

"Let's meet again!"

Aldriech rolled his eyes. "Idiot" he muttered but when he faced forward, a small smile was forming on his face.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

Romulus was walking on the main road to head to the next town when a group of skinny teenagers older than him appeared.

The brightly dressed one, probably the leader, neared Romulus with a knife.

"Cash now, pretty boy"

Romulus rolled his eyes and scoffed. "I, like, totally know!" he said sarcastically. "…and as for money, are you really threatening me? Get the hell out of my way before I fuck all your assholes"

This reply angered the thieves and began to charge at Romulus.

But Romulus was a great fighter. He had dodged each strike for him and countered. Soon, a pile of unconscious and dead teens were formed, but the fight was taking a toll on Romulus.

There were still too many opponents and Romulus was growing weak and tired. Soon, he found himself being overpowered by the thieves. He struggled but his whole body couldn't fight them all by himself.

When he saw the leader charge at him with a knife, he closed his eyes and waited for the pain.

It never came.

He opened his eyes to see a familiar figure looming over the leader.

Aldriech had the leader in a death grip, his eyes void of emotion. "What did I just say? I told you not to be an idiot"

Romulus just laughed. "And I told you that I'm not"

Aldriech gave a small smile and readied himself into a fighting stance. "Together?"

"Yeah"

Then they fought the group of thieves. It took a while, but now most of the thieves were out cold or hanging on to their last breath.

The two friends stood, sweating and panting, and started to walk away.

"Do you have a place to stay?"

Romulus shook his head. "I think I'll go find a tree to sleep under. I don't have the money to stay at a hotel, nor do I want to. This town is fishy as it already is"

Aldriech stopped walking, and was staring at Romulus.

"Stay at my place. My parents wouldn't care, and we have an extra room. It's the least I could do for someone who has been nice to a German like me"

"Aldriech…" Romulus whispered as he rushed out and gave Aldriech a hug, resulting to them on the ground with Romulus on top. "You're so cool! I really, really like you!"

"And I am regretting offering anything to you"

"That's mean~" Romulus pouted.

"Whatever"

Romulus removed himself from Aldriech and they headed towards the German's home.

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

The house was small, and very messy. It was unlike any German facility which was always clean and tidy. Romulus kept looking from the house to the German beside him. "Okay, where is the real house?"

Aldriech just ignored him and kept walking. He opened the door and motioned Romulus to enter. Once inside, Romulus scanned the house. The living room had a small, old television, a worn-out couch, as well as beer bottles scattered all over the floor.

"…" Romulus had to force himself not to gag at the heavy scent of alcohol. "It's…"

"a disaster."

"…I was about to say messy but that works too"

The German just shook his head, "no need to lie. I know a pig sty when I see one"

"then why not clean it?"

"It will just appear again after a few minutes, so what is the use?"

Romulus internally shivered. Never had he or his brother been this messy. Sure, there were scattered clothes on the floor, a few unwashed dishes as well as the occasional litter, here and there, but never to a degree where he could hardly walk due to the trash, beer bottles, and other unidentified objects.

Aldriech opened a small room. Inside was neat and tidy. A small bed by the window, a small study table, and a bookshelf only half-filled with books.

"Here" Aldriech was handing Romulus a towel "I have a small shower in the room, you can bathe first while I prepare your bed"

"Okay!" he said as he took the towel from his friend and went to the shower. Who was he to turn down a good bath? Beggars can't be choosy.

It took a few minutes, but soon the Italian emerged form the bathroom. "Ahh~ It's been a while since I took a good bath"

"That is disgusting"

Romulus pouted. "Not my fault! Traveler, remember?"

Aldriech just sighed. "Here is your bed" he pointed at the small bed.

"Then where will you sleep?"

The German just sat on the piece of cloth on the floor.

"But that's not fair!" Romulus whined. "It's your bed! I'll sleep on the floor"

"No. you are a guest, so I have to make sure you are comfortable. Plus, I am not used to having a bed. I just recently acquired it, so I'm still trying to get used to it"

"That's no excuse!" Romulus went to the cloth and lied down. "I'm sleeping here and that's final!"

Aldriech tried to reason with the Italian, but his words were useless. Eventually, Aldriech and no choice but to use his own bed and Romulus went to sleep on the floor.

Once both had settled down, Romulus turned to face Aldriech.

"Hey, Aldriech?"

Aldriech, in turn, also faced the Italian. "Yes?"

"Thanks, you've been a great guy. I'm glad I met someone like you" Romulus grinned.

"I-idiot…" Aldriech stammered, heat rising on his face.

"Haha!" Romulus laughed. "Well, Buona Notte"

"Gute Nacht"

Then drifted into a deep slumber

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

Romulus had awoken to the sound of a crash.

He instantly sat up, but did not create a sound. He glanced at the bed and saw that Aldriech was gone. He slowly got up and crept towards the door. He was about to open it, when he heard the voices on the other side.

"You, useless child!" a man's voice rang. The next sound was another crash and a few broken glass. Romulus was smart enough to piece together that the voice belonged to Aldriech's father. "Scheisse! First you bring some rotten kid to our home and now you stole money from me?!"

"I-I never stole anything…" a weak whisper. Aldriech…

"Then who where is the fucking money?!"

"I d-don't know"

"The fuck don't you know?!" the man screamed. Romulus was trying hard not to just beat the crap out of the guy.

"I don't! I swear!" this was the first time Romulus had ever heard emotion in his friend's voice. Too bad that it had to be fear.

"Shut the fuck up!" and another continuous sound of pounding resonated throughout the house.

Romulus couldn't take it anymore. He quickly opened the door and punched the man on his face. He glanced at Aldriech, who was covered in bruises and staring at him with shock. He grabbed Aldriech's arm and ran. He left the house and ran as far as his legs could take them, Aldriech being dragged behind.

They finally stopped running and found themselves in front of the well where they first met.

"What was that about?"

Aldriech remained quiet. Refusing to even look at Romulus.

"Hey. That was your dad, right?" Still no answer. "He's an asshole…sorry"

"No need. He really is" Aldriech said, voice still weak that it barely made it to Romulus's ears. "He's been like this ever since the war ended"

"Where's your mom?"

Aldriech scowled. "Gambling. I told father about it, but he doesn't believe me. Mother has a gambling problem and tends to steal money from Father or from me. It must have been her stealing father's money again. The bed in my room, she won that through gambling, but I had to pay the consequences of her stealing from father"

"That's horrible! Does she know he beats you?"

"Of course. She just leaves him be. She would rather save herself than her own son…"

"…"

They sat on the well, silence overwhelming the tense atmosphere.

"Hey… You know, I never knew my dad" Romulus started. "It was just my mom, my older brother, and myself. Mom was murdered in front of my brother and I by the mafia. So, we left our old town and tried to make new lives for ourselves. We were happy for a couple of years, but recently my brother died. This restaurant where he worked in, a few bandits got in and killed him. I was depressed, but I decided to start anew"

Aldriech was staring at Romulus with an unreadable expression. "What happened to the bandits?"

Romulus shrugged. "They got sent to jail, but I wasn't satisfied…"

Shock filled the young German. "Y-you mean…"

Romulus gave out a horrible laugh. "Yeah, and I don't regret it"

Silence once more overtaken their conversation.

"I'll give you an offer" Romulus stood up and stared at the night sky. "Come with me. You have nothing left to lose. If you hate your life now, you can change it." He turned his gaze at Aldriech. "But, I won't say it would be easy. You have to start from scratch. No shelter, no home, no one to depend on but the person beside you, which happens to be a killer."

"…"

"Or, you could go back. I'll give you the chance to decide. But, decide quickly, I'll be leaving as soon as dawn breaks"

Aldriech turned his gaze at the orange light. It was nearing dawn.

"Well?"

Aldriech sighed and stood. "I'll go, but try not to be an idiot"

Romulus laughed once more. "And I told you, I'm not!"

They both walked forward a new path, never looking back

NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN

Hey guys! NSA here! I'm trying out this plot bunny that has been stuck in my head for a while now. Also, this is a mafia fic, so expect more action than romance. There will be, but just not that much. Also, this focuses more on revenge and love between siblings. Sorry to disappoint you shoujo genre readers.

Anyways. This is the first chapter of Book one: The Beginning.

Next would be:

BOOK ONE: THE BEGINNING = Chapter Two: And the World's gonna know your name
