Ch2 - Kipsy

Assassins can't be expected to meet all potential clients.

Purpura sat in a simple chair, relaxing.
An eccentric looking male was buzzing about, and spoke quickly.
"It's all over the paper.
Duke and Duke's double die in the same night.
No one saw who did it.
The double died from poison.
The duke died from unknown causes.
There were no witnesses to either murder.
And no suspects."
The eccentric male paced about, "They already suspect an assassin.
Though no one can agree on who.
Some say there's a new assassin on the block.
Others whisper that Razing Grith is back.
You're a popular name as well, though they claim it's not your usual M.O.
Some even whisper that the Black Death has returned."
Purpura's gaze quickly focused on the eccentric male.
"It's just whispers. Word of Black Death's location has not surfaced.
And he's had no confirmed kills."
Purpura seemed to sigh.
"No worries, Purpura. I keep my eyes and ears open for any hint of him.
I did find a case that sounds similar to his normal MO."
Purpura seemed to pay more attention with that note.
"I knew you'd like that." The eccentric male held up a scroll.
"You see, I already got all the info on it."
Purpura grabbed for the scroll, the small eccentric male quickly jerked the scroll away.
"I'll let you have the scroll... If you do something for me."
Purpura glared a bit.
"Come on, you know you owe little Kipsy something.
It is a very good lead."
Purpura kept his glare, as Kipsy smirked.
"I wanna see the ears." Kipsy said, with a tease.
Purpura glared more, and slumped back in refusal.
"Oh, come on! It's a good lead.
You made me study all his confirmed, and alleged assassinations.
I know his M.O., and I'm fairly sure this is him.
You're the only expert on him.
So, only you can confirm."
Purpura sighed, and stood up.
He then pulled a small cloth off his head, and purple cat ears popped up.
"AW. They're adorable. Why do you hide them?
Such a waste. Certainly you could use them to your advantage.
We could change your name from Purpura to... Purrty Kitty."
Purpura seemed to growl, and snatched the scroll, before he tied the cloth back and hid his ears.
Kipsy continued, "Nekos are supposed to be adorable, sweet, and loving.
How'd you get so messed up?"
Purpura rolled his eyes. Kipsy smiled, "I suppose it's good.
Can use it to lure people into a false sense of security.
No would ever suspect a neko of being an assassin."
Purpura walked away, opening and reading the scroll.
The details of the assassination were rather vague, but could resemble Black Death.

Purpura went off to investigate.
The tomes were dark, creepy, and at this time of night, abandoned.
He stared at the corpse on the slab, he'd managed to break into the tomes where the body awaited burial.
He dared not touch the corpse.
The man's body had been sliced and ripped apart.
Purpura shivered, he could feel a horribly dark essence on the corpse.
This was defiantly Black Death's kill.
Not many could sense the darkness, but Purpura had experienced it firsthand.
He would know it anywhere.
Purpura seemed to sigh, before leaving the corpse.

He walked into Kipsy's shop days later.
"Hey again, Purpura. What's the word?"
Purpura tossed the scroll, he'd marked it in black scratches.
Kipsy caught it, and spoke.
"So, it was defiantly him. He show, when you investigated?"
Purpura slumped into the same chair as before, and pulled his face mask down.
"I guess not, or you'd look less agitated.
I got a job for you. 
Should be right up your alley.
Get your mind off Black.
Client wants an extremely public execution.
Practically wants you to make a show of it.
Even promised to pay extra if you get half the audience covered in the man's blood."
Purpura seemed intrigued, as he watched Kipsy.
"Want details, or want to pass on it?"
Purpura waved his hand, in an encouraging manner.
"Alright. So, it's Lord Rengs. Nasty bugger.
Currently holds the record for most people imprisoned for things they shouldn't be.
And excessively long sentences for things that they actually did."
Purpura yawned, clearly not caring about the politics.
"Alright, alright. I get it, the job.
Lord Rengs is going to make a big event of the birth of his first son.
Not first child, first son. Born last week, they intend to crown him heir next week.
The client wants you to end Lord Rengs during the festival.
While he's giving his speech. 
Like I said, will pay extra if the crowd gets covered in the guy's blood.
Says here, he's willing to throw in a second full payment if you manage to kill the son too.
But only if you kill the son, while Lord Rengs is holding him.
Getting both their blood everywhere will double the bonus."
Purpura put his hand out, he needed a picture of the victim(s).
Kipsy handed over a picture, "Client doesn't care how stealthy you are.
But if anyone besides those two dies, he's deducting money.
So many rules. But shouldn't be hard to follow.
Try for maximum payment?"
Purpura rolled his eyes, got up, pulled his mask up and went outside.

OH!! I think I understand the claws now!
Earlier, I thought it was magic, but now that I know Purpura's a Neko, it makes more sense XDD
Sorry about that >.>

[SinTrustless]

Actually the claws from the first chapter are something else entirely.
Keep reading, Purpura is only half-neko.
His other half, is what allowed him to form those claws.
