Carnelia

Natsu nods in suprise but quickly sits down and pulls the reins.

"Hayaaaaa!"

The archers ready their arrow and shoot at the carriage.

"Die!, die, die assassin!!"
"We will kill you!!"
"I heard that one before!!"

Natsu yells when the horses run faster and the archers fire their arrows at the carriage.

Tsukiko glares at them when they say they will kill Natsu and she quickly jumps, looking like she was going to fall off the carriage but she blocks the arrows with the swords and hits them away before grabbing the back of the carriage and flips over so that she is on top of it again.


"hmph..."

She breathes looks a little angered but she looks over her shoulder to Natsu.

"How much farther?"

Natsu looks right of them and he sees that he needs to turn right before they reach the bridge.

"Almost there..."

He says in a serious tone but turns around when he hears another guard landing on the carriage and he stands up with a smirk.

"Goodbye assassin!"

Natsu grabs Tsukiko shoulder and holds her tightly while he orders the horses to make a sharp turn to the right and the carriage almost goes on two wheels when the horses turn right which makes the guard on the carriage lose his balance and he falls on the ground.

"Heh..."

When the horses cross the bridge the archers behind them stop and turn around but Natsu doesn't notice it.

Tsukiko smirks when the guard lands on the carriage and she tightens her grip on her swords.

"You wish..."

She whispers angerly before she gets ready to strike him but she gasps when Natsu grabs her shoulder and she holds onto Natsu and the carriage tightly until it is back on all four wheels and she looks at him worriedly before looking back when they cross the bridge and she watches the guards turn around and she lets out a sigh of relief and she looks up at Natsu with a small smile before putting the swords away.

"We made it.... and they stopped following us... that's good..."

Tsukiko says with the same smile and she looks ahead of them.

Natsu looks at her with a small smile.

"Yea...wait..what?"

He turns around and sees that they really did turn around and he turns back to the road.

"Hmmm...strange..."

Natsu whispers in a serious tone trying to figure out why they turned around.
The horses keep running on the road for five minutes until a huge wooden wall could be seen from far away that was made in a square like there was something hidding behind it.
There were 10 assassin's guarding the gate and around 30 men walking around the whole wall.
There were also 200 assassin's with bow's on the wall.

"We're here."

Natsu says with a small smile.

"Your new home..."

Tsukiko watches him worriedly when he says it was strange and she tilts her head.

"Why is it strange?"

She asks confused and worried but she sighs when he doesn't answer and she looks down sadly, riding the last five minutes in silence before looking up at the wooden wall and she looks surprised at the soldiers.

"Wow.... so many soldiers.... but what's the wooden wall for...?"

Tsukiko asks with a confused expression while tilting her head cutely.

Natsu turns to her with a small smile.

"There's a camp behind it for the remaining assassin's..this place..is build by assassin's a long time ago..and because of that this became our..headquarters or something like that.
Anyway the wooden wall is to keep outsiders away...with outsiders i mean like those guards you saw earlier."

He says in a serious tone before he pulls the reins and the horses stop infront of the gate.

"N-Natsu?"

A few assassin says his name suprised.

"Yes?"
"N-Nothing..."

"Natsu raises his eyebrow when he looks at the assassin and he looks away.
The other assassin's look up at Natsu and Tsukiko.

"Hmmmm...."

The assassin looks at the pair for a while but opens the gate.
Natsu pulls the reins which makes the horses walk at a normal pace and they go into the camp
When they enter there were assassin's everywhere guarding the camp.

"See like i said..no one really cares who you are here."

Natsu says with a small smile before he stops the horses at a stairway that lead down below underground.

"Anyway let's go."

He jumps off the carriage and walks to the stairs but turns around waiting for Tsukiko.
