Michelle Hunter
All the partying the previous night made it late for Michelle to wake up the next day. Unlike every other day, that morning, she woke up only after the sun rose and its rays pierced through her room’s window, shining on her face. It was one of those rare cloudless days of winter and she saw many people have taken advantage of it. There were a lot more people on the streets that morning than any other day. A little upset that she missed the sunrise, she quickly got ready and exited the inn right after her morning ritual of knocking on Victor’s door.

As she made her way to the usual training spot, she noticed a young couple walk back towards inn, arguing loudly. The woman seemed terribly upset at something and the man kept apologizing to her. Finally, the woman simply pushed him away and ran into the inn, crying. Michelle had seen many couples fight, so this wasn’t something that shocked her. She didn’t want to interfere or stare, so she kept walking towards her destination. The man, however, called out to her and ran up to her. “Hey… I know this is out of the blue. But I need your help. It is my girlfriend’s birthday and she was looking forward to going to the famous bathhouse here. Unfortunately… It’s closed because of a peeping Tom,” he said.

Michelle couldn’t understand why he was informing of such things to her. So, she simply stared at him and said, “Okay?”, waiting for him to continue on until it made sense.

Victor had grown accustomed to Michelle's savage ways in the morning. It had actually aided in setting his biological clock right, he assumed such disciplinary measures were part of the training. Victor didn't mind in the least, he liked to exert control over things, and control over his own body was the first step to it. However, today, he already lay awake but no door-banging propelled him out of bed. Curiously he took matters into his own hands and wondered if he could beat the efficient woman. Of course, he couldn't, he was in the shower when he heard the banging... She was late but still faster than he was. At least he could join her faster, once he was ready he raced down the stairs. It must have been funny to see twenty-four-year-old skip stairs animatedly, like an excited child... But Victor was looking forward to his day.

Just as he was about to exit the inn, he caught the last part of the conversation between the couple and then the words of the man who spoke to Michelle. Peeping Tom, he said? Time for me to be the knight in shining armor then... he thought. Victor had an intense dislike for men who created mistrust between the two genders, its what caused all the males to be labeled and often decreased his chances of casual consensual encounters with females. He ambled towards the lost looking Michelle and the downtrodden man. 'That's an absolute pity, we were headed there ourselves, weren't we love?' he said, smiling jovially at Michelle and winking. 'Don't worry, we'll get that guy and our women can enjoy their lovely spa day.' he assured, before gesturing to Michelle chivalrously, to get a move on.

Before the man could express his concern and request Michelle to do something about it, Victor was within the vicinity and he offered to help without asking the dark-skinned assassin. The man was ecstatic and almost jumped in relief. “Really?! Thank you so much,” he said, all wide-eyed and happy. “I’ll go tell my darling right away,” he said, running into the inn. Michelle turned to Victor slowly and looked at him with squinty eyes. “I hope this isn’t your little trick to avoid training, because that ain’t happening. Double time once we catch this silly peeping Tom,” she said before starting to walk towards the bathhouse.

The bathhouse was very close to the inn, and therefore the walk was short. As she entered the building, a blonde girl approached and informed her of the unfortunate news. “I’m sorry ma’am. The bathhouse is clo-” she began, but Michelle cut her off mid-sentence. “I know. I heard. We are here to catch the culprit,” she said. Hearing this, Lady Bella, who was inside her room all this while, walked out and looked at the two, sizing them up. “Hmm… Let’s see if you guys can stop him. He mostly comes during the evening hours. You should set up an ambush,” she said, half hopeful, half sceptical on whether Michelle and Victor can pull this off.

Michelle didn’t like it when people doubted her abilities. So, more than wanting to stop the peeping Tom because what he was doing was wrong, she wanted to do it just so she can prove to the lady that she can. “We’ll nab him. You can be sure of that,” she said bluntly, before entering the closed section. There was still a good few hours before the bathhouse opens up for the evening. So, the duo would have plenty of time to set up a trap to surprise the peeping Tom.

The man seemed to be so relieved, it almost made Victor scoff at him, now there was a man on a woman's leash... He shook his head, only to come face to face with his own little demanding girl, although clearly in a largely different context. 'Why would I try and shirk training, Michi?' he asked, cooly. 'I have to prove to you that I can get as strong, with lesser work.' he said almost in a sing-song mocking voice as he nudged her with his elbow. 'But you have to understand, training can only get you this far.' he said holding up his hands for symbolic purposes.

He'd go onto share enough to explain that sometimes, she needed to get a little friendlier, that if she really wanted to scour the town and understand it perfectly, including getting the dirty details first she'd have to have a spotless reputation, to begin with. Gain the trust of a few odd members, who would be likely to come to her defense if she got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was a page out of his recipe book, but he wasn't too reluctant sharing it with her. This was basically a different kind of training, people skills were important and she really needed to work on those. They were almost at the bathhouse now and he turned to her and asked her what she thought would be the best way to proceed now, just to get an understanding of how she approached such missions.

Michelle was not naïve; she always knew there were other shortcuts to gain raw power. For example, the man next to her had part of a demon inside him, which obviously makes him a lot stronger by default compared to mere commoners. However, no matter how much power you accumulate through these means, if you didn’t know how to use them well, there really was no point to it. According to Michelle, this was especially true in Victor’s case, as she believed he can control the demon within if he was strong enough. However, she avoided saying any of this to him; she didn’t want him to know that she was aware of his little secret. “Nah… It’s the other way around. Natural talent will only get you so far. Beyond that, it is all training,” she said, mimicking the same quantity he symbolized with his hand.

The duo had reached the bathhouse and even if the lady there wasn’t completely convinced that they could pull off the ambush, she wasn’t going to deny them a try. After Michelle assured her that they would accomplish the task she let them into the closed bathhouse. As it was still late in the morning and the lady said the peeping Tom usually comes in only at the evening, it would seem the entire bath was all for themselves until then. “Don’t you think it will be a waste if we don’t use this opportunity? I mean… How many times are you going to get a gigantic bath like this all for yourselves for free?” she said, grinning at the blonde man. This… after she accused him of shirking training.

The blonde wasn't just going to let her win this one. But he wasn't a vehemently argumentative person, there were easier more patient ways to get someone to see your point. He cleared his throat as she rebutted his argument, turning it upon its head. 'The end is what matters, how you get from here to here.' he said holding up two fingers now, since apparently, this discussion needed a larger gesture, a single hand just wasn't cutting it anymore. 'Now whether you get half-way through there, with raw talent or hard work, the other is going to have to make up.' he added. 'There is no cap on natural talent, but there is a cap on how much you can train, only so many hours in a day, only so many days in a life.' he said, chuckling as he let her guide them towards the bathhouse.

His chuckling intensified when she spoke and shared her brilliant idea. So that was her approach? To not waste the opportunity they had? Victor was a purveyor of good experiences, so he had to hand it to her for that. Looks like they truly did arrive at the same destination despite their very different routes. He halted and placed a hand on her shoulder. There was a woman's section, then there was the one for the lads, but while he'd enjoy a nice warm bath, the man was not really craving the solitude. 'The place is on lock-down, no one is going to care if I hop into your section are they? Plus that way I'd get a peek at the peeper...' he said, rubbing his chin as he pretended to be considering this as an option for the greater good. He waited for her to respond, they were past the point where she'd see this as Victor coming onto her, so there probably wasn't going to be a reason to deny him, yet, to weave the garb of politeness, he waited.

Michelle simply chuckled and shook her head in disbelief. She wanted to say a lot of things in response to his theory, but she decided not to. It was better to show him than give a lecture that may or may not be comprehensible. One’s own experience always does the job of teaching the best; a lot better than seeing or hearing another’s. So, for now, this discussion had to be paused.

The purple-haired assassin didn’t even consider sending Victor to the men’s section. It was only the two of them here and she truly didn’t mind swimming with him. While the two had not explicitly stated they were never going to get involved romantically, it was pretty apparent that neither of them felt anything remotely electric towards each other. There was no need to state it and make it awkward. “Of course! We are here to nab the guy. They won’t even know we are using the bath while we wait, nor are they going to mind if we did. So, hop in,” she said, as she walked towards one of the stalls to change into swim wear.

Once she was inside and the curtain was drawn, she laid out the plan. “We should probably act like a couple who rented the entire bathhouse for the evening to have some privacy. That way the guy would probably think he is going to witness some action and do something stupid. We’ll get him then,” she said, removing her robes and getting into a two-piece swimsuit.

'You have the right ideas.' he said encouragingly. As he followed suit and got rid of his garments, he already had trunks underneath, since he'd sort of foreseen a visit to the famous bathhouse. 'So we're nabbing the guy?' he asked as he hung out his clothes on the various hooks that the building provided. He took in the place, the tiles were of a pinkish hue and the room's scent was rather flowery. Way to go with the stereotypical arrangement for the women's section. he thought. As he browsed the eclectic collection of bathing essence oils and bath bombs and such. The common bath was pretty grand, it was fixed with jets, a hydromassage sounded pretty good right about now. 'Are you any good with this finer stuff?' he asked, before picking out a bottle of something lavender scented. He then went on to turn the faucets and the sound of the water that streamed and gushed into the shallow ceramic pool echoed in the room.

'You're gonna have to talk over this!' he exclaimed, as he dipped his toe into the water and sat by it waiting for it to fill. Despite all his poise, sometimes the things that required the simplest most basic patience, could feel like a task. He emptied the bottle into the water and eyed Michelle. He scrutinized her once again, despite her very attractive features, he was rather objective about her beauty. She'd definitely make a good bait for the peeper... and bait for others too, should he need. He heard the soft chuckle of the amused demon inside his head but didn't acknowledge it at the moment.

The assassin was trained at making herself the bait. After all, it was one of the biggest weakness for many men and it made her task easy. So, of course, even though she really didn’t care much for any of these fine luxuries, she was forced to learn of them for the sake of her job. “I have no preference. I usually wear whatever my target prefers,” she said, in a matter-of-fact tone. She quickly realized she had just revealed a big part of her so flippantly. Hopefully, the blonde will simply assume she was someone who played with the boys; surely, that was a better assumption than knowing that she was an assassin.

She waited as the jet filled the large bath with steaming water and the hot air carried the lavender scent to her. “Mhmm…” Michelle hoped she would get some quality time in the pool before the peeping Tom showed up. It would be a shame if she had to get out almost immediately after getting in just to catch the indecent fool. For a pool that big, it filled up pretty quickly. The taps closed automatically immediately after the water level almost reached the top; a pretty nifty magic trick there. Michelle stepped into the pool of steaming water and dipped herself in until the neck, leaning on one of the side walls and rolling her head back. Now, to enjoy the water and wait for the culprit to show up.

'Interesting.' Victor mused when she responded, now wondering if his choice was revealing more about him than he anticipated, but he stuck to his guns, especially when she uttered her soft appreciative hum, although that could have been just to throw him off. 'So how do you figure out what your target prefers?' he emphasized the word target, just to let her know that he hadn't missed the insinuation there. He also narrowed his eyes, wondering if that is what he was, wondering if she knew more than she was letting on.

Nonetheless, perhaps they'd both be a little on the edge, but how they dealt with his little reveal would show their true mettle. Vic wasn't the sort of man that panicked easily. The blonde went on 'That would involve very...' he paused this time, as he scoured through several words to describe what he meant, intimate was the first one, but the implication in this context might come off as disrespectful. The blonde settled for something pretty neutral. '...nuanced research.' he finished his response and warily turned to the water again.

It was interesting, how he was taking this risk, deliberately putting himself at a disadvantage by being in the proximity of water... Perhaps Victor liked the calculated risk he took. Now that the large pool was considerably filled, he slipped into the waist-high water and held out his hand towards the bikini-clad woman to invite her in to join him.

“Yes… Through thorough research, you get certainty. And certainty is key,” she said as she took his hand before entering the pool. “Usually, the people who can afford these fine luxuries are either the ones employing you or the ones worth scamming. So, it’s important you weave your way around them without raising suspicion,” she added. She wished to keep it simple; revealing just enough so that Victor understands she isn’t all goody-two-shoes, but not enough for him to know she had no trouble killing. That… will have to wait. The art of assassination is very subtle. There was a huge difference between a sociopathic serial killer and an assassin, and whether the man was capable of being one or even wished to learn the way was yet to be seen.

Unfortunately for Michelle, her fear came to be true. Less than five minutes from when she stepped into the pool she heard a faint mutter from behind her. She motioned for Victor to keep quiet and listened keenly. The purple-haired lady was very attentive and was sure she heard something. And there it was again; this time around, she could even catch a few words. It would seem the peeping Tom was upset that he couldn’t get a clear view of Michelle while the blonde man got to be in the pool with her. The assassin grinned and jerked her head ever so slightly towards the direction of the voice to warn Victor. It was time to see how Victor handled the situation. Was he the one who would walk straight up to the culprit, making his intentions obvious? Or would he take the more subtle route and jump him to ensure he doesn’t get away?

Victor had already heard the soft scuffle above them. Maybe she had too? Apparently Mr. Peeper had found a crack in the ceiling that he could exploit and stare right down and the beautiful bathing women. The only problem was, Victor was enjoying the warm water and the jets that massaged his back, way too much to go pursue this man. Plus, the two of them had just earned some free service. The service would be more appropriately explained, in case they were caught, if the duo could get their hands on that stupid peeper. Victor sighed deeply, averting his gaze towards the small fountain in the middle of the bath, as the water tumbled and cascaded into the pool, a thin shifting sheet of steam billowed upwards. All the blonde had to do, was try to get the kid to come closer. He had just the idea. The blonde cleared his throat and looked at Michelle with a smirk on his face.

'Oh... Tell me more about this thorough thorough research that you do, what exactly does it involve?' he said, shifting and wading just a little so the two were closer, but nowhere near what he'd have done had he actually felt any carnal desire towards the woman. With a slight shift of his eyes, he looked up at the ceiling, testing to see if the attentive lady would notice the gesture, or if he'd have to make things more obvious. The way he was angled, the boy definitely missed it. 'What exactly do you have to do to be so certain?' he asked again, his voice huskier than usual, as he maintained that knowing smirk.

He'd have to confirm with her about the whole target business later; it seemed she meant people that she could do odd tasks for and earn money, perhaps even people she could scam. Clearly she had no issues employing any and all weapons she had, the woman would indeed make a great partner. He wondered if he had what it took to go the extra mile though... Something about her practical demeanor suggested she did, but he'd need to see it first hand.

Michelle had to swallow a chuckle when she realized what Victor was doing. Perfect! Smart man. He had passed the first tiny test of hers to assess the way he approached things. It would seem he wasn’t one of those headstrong, foolhardy men who made everything so rigid and unfun. Playing along, she tucked her wet purple hair behind her ears as he closed the gap between them, and put her arms around his neck. “I get to know them fully,” she replied in an equally sultry voice, keeping the act together. All this and she still felt no spark towards the blonde man. Michelle wasn’t an asexual being and Victor was a handsome one. So, she found it rather odd that there was absolutely no chemistry between them. Well, at least that would mean no stupid emotions would come between them during training or the potential missions they might take together.

This wasn’t new to her, however. She had done this charade of acting like she was so in love with so many men she had killed before. So, the entire ordeal came to her naturally. She only hoped she didn’t act so well that she managed to fool Victor too.

The peeping Tom, however, was completely fooled. He thought he had hit the jackpot and was going to witness something far more interesting that day. Michelle glanced upwards quite often to see if he was still there, but ensured all her motions were natural and not obvious. Tom, up there, got so excited when the exotic beauty inched closer to Victor, that he pushed his luck too far. With one jerky motion, the boy broke the ceiling he was carefully balancing himself on and fell down into the pool with a splash. Immediately after, Michelle swam away from Victor in one swift stroke and pulled Tom up by his hair. “I knew you would do something stupid,” she said, her voice completely different from the sweet one she used not moments ago.

His gaze fell onto the limbs that had now entwined themselves around Vic's neck. She was no weakling, so there was a gentle sense of anxious anticipation, to see if she'd try something funny. It'd be rather uncharacteristic, considering the information she was dealing out. It was apparent that she hadn't actually gotten to know Victor fully. At least that's what the blonde believed. So he wasn't going to become a target any time too soon. His own hands slipped out of the water, his fingers gently gripped her forearms, perhaps she'd see through  his gesture, at the paranoia behind it, she'd probably understand too. There was a mutual understanding between those who sought to unravel the minds of their targets. There was always a risk and risks were not to be overlooked.

His smirk widened as their eyes locked onto each other. He took another step closer to her, as she played along, he gauged her expressions, everything was perfect except for the lack of it. That defining feeling which was so clearly absent no matter how good the two were at make believe, they'd not fool each other. The boy upstairs must have had a field day... But it turned out that crack was indicative of a faulty structure. The widening was enough for Vic and Michelle to pull themselves apart and out of the splash zone as the ceiling and the boy who had leaned in too far, fell into the pool. Too bad the water cushioned his fall... Or  not? Michelle was already onto him. She truly was a quick one. He rested his arms and watched as she handled this, he truly was lucky that there were always women around him to do his dirty work. This man was going to feel the wrath of all the ladies he'd spied on, Vic just had to sit back and relax.

There was no exchange of words between Michelle and the peeping Tom. She didn’t believe in questioning such people or letting them explain. They mostly spewed nonsense excuses and tried to wiggle their way out of things instead of admitting their mistake, which was only going to infuriate the woman even further. So, instead, she followed her usual simpler routine of beating the guy to a pulp with no remorse.

It began with her holding Tom by his hair and thrusting his face down into the water, essentially drowning him. Every time he began choking and flailed, she pulled him up above the water to let him take one large breath. Once he took that breath, she punched the guy in the nose hard before thrusting him back into the water. She repeated this over and over several times until the guy could no longer take the torture and was knocked unconscious. The dark-skinned beauty didn’t do it because she liked it, but because he deserved it.

All his screaming and moaning gained the attention of Lady Bella, who came into the bath with a shocked expression. “This is the guy, right?” Michelle asked, just to be sure she didn’t beat up someone she shouldn’t have. Thankfully, the lady confirmed it was indeed the peeping Tom. “Yeah! It’s him. I’ll take him to the cops. You guys feel free to use the bath as long as you like,” she replied, grateful for their assistance.
