| - The full moon cast it's dim light across the valley, creating an unusually bright night. The light breeze blew Akemi's crimson hair into her eyes, obstructing her view of the valley below. Akemi brushed the hair behind her ear and adjusted her position on the cliff's edge. It was almost midnight and Akemi was growing anxious. She had been waiting on the edge of the cliff for nearly two hours. Her target was to arrive any minute now. The A-Ranked mission had been sent to her via messenger pidgin, describing a target and location. It had been awhile since she had received a mission from the Hidden Leaf, only the forth one she had been assigned since she began residing beyond the village's walls. For the Homage to assign her an A-Ranked mission showed great trust in Akmei's abilities. What had been puzzling Akemi was why eliminating a single target was labeled an A-Ranked mission. Either they were traveling with security or the target themselves was a shinodi of notable skill. Either way, Akemi was confident she could handle it. A dozen pidgins swooped down from the sky and landed in a perfect ring next to Akemi. They each cooed loudly, then vanished in a puff of white smoke. Akemi smiled. Her target had finally made an appearance, and was likely completely unaware of her presence. If everything went according to plan, Akemi would strike down her target with a single attack and have a messenger pidgin on its way to the Hidden Leaf in a matter of minutes. Flams began forming at the base of Akemi's feet, slowly creeping upwards as her body began vanishing. Akemi pushed herself off the cliff, allowing the flames to engulf the remainder of her body as she began falling, leaving only a few dwindling sparks in her wake. Taking a normal stroll from the village, Sigma found himself wandering the region of Konohagakure. These strolls lasted, weeks, but this one, had been only three days. His crimson-metal plates smack up against each other as he made each step, his gunbai slanted on his back, just barely showing the crest of the Uchiha that bore on his under clothing. His face, had a broad smile on his face. A feature usually never short on him. It would be abnormal if he didn't have it. His long black spiky hair complimented his smile, and it sync in perfect harmony and the red strips blended it just as well. Looking up Sigma noticed the bright sun's ray's blaming right back at him. However, to his eye, he could see the distinct pattern at which a few pigeons flew. "There are completely too many of them.. And the way they cooed." Sigma placed his finger on the ground. "I knew it. Something is approaching." Akemi sat underground, not far from her target's position. Akemi could sense her target's footsteps steadily growing closer. Once the target had passed her position, all she would have to do is emerge from the ground and strike from behind. The target would be dead before he even knew what had happened. Akemi waited patiently, sitting in a meditative-like state as the footsteps came overhead. Akemi waited a few moments, realizing now the footsteps were distancing themselves. Akemi shot upwards, her upper body emerging from the ground, kunai in hand. However, as Akemi prepared the throw her kunai knife she realized something wasn't right. She was facing nothing but empty valley. "What the hell?" Akemi murmured to herself, confused as to where her target could have possibly gone. It appear as if Sigma came from no where. He could see the kunoichi with a weapon in hand. Glancing at the environment he had the deal with, he also placed the fact that she jumped from out of no where. Slowly walking up to the scenario at hand, he stopped about ten meters in front of Akemi. "That technique, it's was the hiding like a mole, wasn't it? Hiding, silent tactics... Along the lines of an assassination. You're a woman... Hehe, I'm in luck." Akemi leapt out of the ground and whipped her body around to face her target. How did he get behind me? Akemi wondered. Akemi lashed out with a roundhouse kick aimed towards the man's head. As the she spun around, Sigma's face filled with a smirk. It was a woman, a big beauty to say the least. As she lifted her leg to began her attack, Sigma anticipated the kick; jumping preforming a backwards hand spring, but stayed on his hands. And his feet were now in the place of his hands. "Why don't we first get to know each other." Akemi raised an eyebrow at the man's strange response to being attacked. Before thinking to much of it Akemi, refocused and jumped back from the man, performing a rapid series of hand seals. Akemi quickly unleashed a volley of fireballs at the man, spreading them over a wide area to make them difficult to dodge. Still walking on his hands, he pushed up, allowing him to use one of his hands. Grabbing his gunbai from his back. Firmly holding the gunbai, Sigma channelled a portion of his powerful chakra into it. Once done, his body became covered in a barrier, successfully protecting him from the barrage of flames. "Can we talk about this?" Akemi strung together several more hand seals with no reply. Without warning, the ground beneath Sigma's hand opened up, causing his arm to fall down into the now empty space. The earth quickly moved back to it's original position, trapping Sigma's arm in the ground. Akemi drew her Kukri with blinding speed holding it tightly in her hand. "There's nothing to talk about." Akemi finally replied. Akemi rushed towards Sigma, at full speed, fully intending to sever the man's arm by striking at the underside, away from the plated armor.
