1 PROLOGUE

A big red moon hung above the city, shining it's light upon it, creating an eerie glow as the trees planted alongside the road rustled their leaves along with the lazy sultry air that signalled rain.

Footsteps rushing rang in the air. Curses followed those footsteps,then shadows. Counting the shadows, they numbered 5.The shadows stop when they encountered the thick city walls, then more loud curses abounded.

"F**k that mongrel! Where did he go?! "shouted a big man about 6 ft in height and had a swarthy, bulky figure that stretch his white shirt. He had piercings and tattoos all over his body and an explosive hairstyle, showing clearly that he is a street ruffian.

The man beside him, wearing an ironed tuxedo with shining black shoes with lithe figure,frowned and looked at him with disgust.

" Can you please stop cursing? It is unbecoming."He said while tidying his messed up clothing

"Oh shut up sissy boy,or am gonna beat you up like am to beat the sh*t up that son of a b***h! What are yah gonna do now! That b*****d had blown up the godd*mn base. What are we gonna explain to the boss? That we let a wimpy 7 year old kid get away while he destroyed the headquarter,and none of us can catch him!? "replied the big man in a hysterical tone of voice while waving his arms up and down.

The man in the tuxedo sigh while pinching the bridge of his nose, "Would the Boss even believe that a kid did all of those? "

The big man stared speechlessly at the Tuxedo man, then said, "Well, that boy is trained to be an assassin, and he is the best of the best, so the boss is gonna believe us....maybe? "He uncertainly answered as he scratch his head.

The tuxedo man looked at him in disgust, then all of a sudden ,slapped him sharply on the head,retorting in a suppressed voice again with frustration and contempt.

"Then what?!Admit to the Boss that we are no better than a kid?!You know our end if we do that! Quick! Search more, call reinforcement, we have to find that kid, catch him! Bring him alive or dead,otherwise!"He paused and then said calmly "When the Boss knows,we're better than dead."

"Yes! " the other 3 men replied and hurried away. The tuxedo man and the big man looked at each,turned around, then run separately in the other direction.

While running, the tuxedo man looked back to look at the back of the big man, his eyes flashing darkly, sigh and said, "There is no other way." He fished out his communicator to call his underlings.

Unbeknownst to him, in the corner of the wall,where the light didn't fell,a pair of black eyes was looking at them coldly. The owner of that pair of black eyes then took step forward, and the moonlight hit his small body, showing a very beautiful doll like boy.He then turned around, crouched down, and slipped in a doghole a small animal may have dug, directly entering the inner city.

After straightening, he took a step forward, then run, avoiding the bright streetlights and lurk in the shadows, showing his top skill as an assassin. While running, he clutch at his side, blood leaking out of his fingers. The people walking in the streets and the cars gliding past didn't even paused or looked at him, or they didn't even notice him at all.

Fifteen minutes have passed,the boy is slowing down, his breathing ragged, his steps swaying a bit, his face pale and sweating, his cold eyes began to get unfocused. He turns toward an alley,staggering due to extreme blood loss.He steps forward laboriously,step by step, then he fell down. As he fell, he smirked without humour,talking to himself,

"Huh, So this is going to be the end of me? Well, not bad. I get to do what I want to do."The soft milky voice was cold, showing maturity way beyond his age. Then he fainted.

Right after the dolllike little boy fainted, a sweet voice belonging to a toddler sounded

" Papa, Papa, you weel do as pwomise right! You're gonna barbequeww beef right? You pwomise!" a cute, chubby,white baby girl appeared, chattering with her baby language, her small two hands holding the hands of her Papa and Mama. The man that she called her papa smiled helplessly at her, patted her head with his free hand, and said "You little gluttonous cat, ofcourse I will. "

The woman at the other side glared at the man."Its already evening, it's not good for her stomach to eat food that are not easy to digest."

"Just a little bit, I swear I will not let her eat more. "

"No. What are you going to do if Baby got stomachache? "

"Mama, pweety please, just this once, I wamma eat barbequeww. "The little girl beg as she swayed her mother's hand, her big shiny eyes looking up at her mother, her lips pouting cutely as she tried to be more adorable than she already is.

The woman tried to endure her daughter's cute attack, but was helplessly beaten down. She sigh, looked at her husband, and said."Just a little bit, okay? " The man and the baby girl obediently answered simultaneously

"Okay!"

The three then looked forward, stopping abruptly when they saw a figure lying right in front of their doorstep. The man frowned, then pulled his wife and daughter behind him, slowly walking to the figure infront of them. He crouched down slowly,gingerly extending a finger to poke at the small figure.He slowly stretch out his hand to flip it. He inhaled sharply as that figure turns out to be a little boy, a severely injured one at that.

The woman behind him stared blankly as she held up her baby daughter, hiding her baby daughter's face in her shoulder, she then looked at her husband, I look at you, you look at me. A few seconds past,and the woman said as she uncertainly looked at the little boy's wound" Is he still alive? "She whispered, and the man started, and immediately placed his fingers at the boy's pulse.

He sighed in relief to feel a pulse, stood up and unlocked the door to their hose, gestured at his wife to enter immediately and slowly but carefully lifting the little boy up.He looked around cautiously, not seeing anyone, and hurriedly entered the house and locking up the door with a click.
