It's been a few days since Shirayuki ran away in those days you mostly stayed in your room moping or thinking back to moments you spent with Shirayuki for the past three years. But enough of that now, it's time to start looking for Shirayuki! By thinking back you know Shirayuki loves and knows the woods like the back of her hand AND it's the only place to leave Tanbarun without notice by Raji seeing as HE is the reason Shira ran away... woman's intuition and also intelligent facts. You decided to leave for Shirayuki ASAP you packed all the essentials into a small black rucksack and set off. By foot it should take about 3 days but by carriage just 1 so you decided to go by public transport.

After arriving at your stop days on end you spent looking for Shira you couldn't find her anywhere how hard can it be to find someone with hair bright as hers? You pondered as you heard someone called out to you.

"Excuse me but would you kindly move out of the way and remove your hood?" A white haired man asked hold up... is that snowy?! (A/N lol sorry I just had to mention my deceased cat DXD ;-;)

"Sorry Snowy I'm not taking any ord--" you yelp as you are pinned to the ground by a dark haired male with cat like eyes.

"Master, It's a female!" They said.

"Lemme go!! I'm looking for Apple!!" You wriggled out of that cats grasp and dodged the attacks of four people a blonde woman, a bluenette, snowy and cat man.

"LEAVE ME ALONE IM TRYING TO--" You stopped when you saw a flash of red in the corner of your eye, when the blonde woman and bluenette tried to pounce on you, you pounced on the red head suffocating her in a bear hug.

"Shira~ nee!!" You sang tearing up, "I lost Nanaki when you ran away you had scared me so much I thought you hated me until I realised it was all that idiot Prince's fault." You could tell the others wanted to attack you but didn't as you were so close to Shirayuki attacking might've hit Apple.

"Shirayuki you know this girl?" Snowy who I later found out was named Zen questioned.

"Yeah, this is my little sister Yukiko when I ran away I couldn't find Yukiko so I had to leave her until I found it safe enough to bring her with me but sadly enough I never got the opportunity to bring her here." Shirayuki also explained a little bit of our backstory while the cat man who I never learned his name was eyeing me.

"What do you want?" You asked the cat boy.

"You look familiar..." He mumbled to himself soon after realising his mistake he introduced himself as... "Hello there Miss Yukiko!! I'm Obi! Master said we'll--" You stopped listening after that.

'Obi? As in assassin Obi and... my former partner?'

"So you're Miss' little sister?" He said.

"Yes adopted, I thought you heard the story earlier?" You asked.

"Just clarifying." Obi said.

'Well then seems like he doesn't recognise you... I won't tell him. If he really cared he'd remember on his own.'

"Well then Obi it's nice to see you, I'm going to visit Shira~ nee." You said walking away with your head bowed your bangs covering your eyes and your hidden face doesn't show the line tear tracing down your cheek.

'I find my comrade and my sister only my comrade doesn't remember.'

"Hey, I'm going to be quit being an assassin so we might not see each other again any time soon so... bye! ... shortie." Obi snorted to lighten the mood after his little episode of seriousness.

"Sure!! Just don't forget me ok?" You asked holding out your pinky finger.

"Pfft what are you (Y/N)? Nine years old?" He snickered.

"No! I'm Eleven!!" You argued.

"Well whatever see you!" He linked pinkies with you pat your head and walked away tipping an imaginary hat goodbye.

As you wandered the halls you heard chatting so you quickly dried your tears and put on that mask you've always worn.
