Omake: An Omamori

Shiina was busy packing her weapons away as quickly as she could. She narrowed her eyes as she looked down at the cold temple floor. Thinking about her latest mission, the young girl closed her eyes and sighed.
Shiina, she could hear her mother's voice as clear as ever. I need you to kill this man. The picture couldn't have been more unclear, but Shiina was trained to know who a person was just by a slight outline. She knew who she was looking for, and he was a dangerous man. Not only was he skilled in karate, kung fu and a number of other martial arts, he also had dozens of guards guarding his palace. No doubt about it, this was the man who led her country. Sighing as she tightened her hachimaki, she stood up and came face to face with her father."W-what do you want?" Shiina had also been traine to be wary around everyone, even her parents.

Tsutoko, who was the kinder one out of her two parents, looked down at his daughter. "Here," he said gruffly, opening up her clenched palm and placing an object in it. "Kasumi didn't want me to give this to you, but I insisted that I should...." With those words, the man turned and left.
