The moon shines brightly in the peaceful palace. A cloaked figure walks down the busy palace halls, none of the people taking notice. The cloaked figure drags their hand across the dimly lit wall, pressing, lightly–searching.
"Found ya."
The figure presses the brick farther into the wall and steps back. A shimmering outline of an arc appears on the wall, glowing a faint blue.
"Now I talk to the stiff jackasses who can't take a joke." The figure sighs and runs a hand through its hair, causing their hood to fall down.
The dark-colored hood falls down to reveal bright green eyes that seem to glow in the dark night, followed by long streams of dark brown hair that fell over her cloak.
The bracelet the girl was wearing flashed a dangerous red, warning her.
The dark-haired girl sighed once more and slowly put the hood back in place before stepping through the glowing arc.

Hooded Girl
"We can't allow him to continue his..experiments" Orange(Bertha) spoke, disgust clear in her voice. Correction: experiment and that experiment is me, your beloved Assassin—Kuro.
"He's getting out of hand." Green's (Viridiel) eerily calm voice reached my ears. Even now I could see him calmly staring at Red with silent, angry eyes.
"We mustn't let him continue with this blasphemy!" More of the council members began to protest. That one was probably Jackass.
It didn't take a genius to know who he was talking about. He was talking about the King-my father-and his experiments-me. For the people who know everything, they know nothing.
"The prophecy must be fulfilled!" My eyebrows furrow slightly as I hear the familiar voice of Red. Hard and demanding, good ol’ Red.
"Not like this! History will repeat itself!"
"The prophecy will be fulfilled. No matter the consequences." Obsessed as always.
Voices of complaints were heard all around. "Ar–"
"Silence! You fool! Names shall not be spoken. For the enemy is everywhere."
"And Me" I spoke up, leaning against the dimly lit wall. A smirk found it's way across my face as I saw their surprised expressions. They hadn't noticed my presence, the only one who had was–
"Kuro." Green-eyes greets with a nod of his head, followed by mumbled hellos of the other Rainbow Council members + Jackass. I give a wave and push myself off of the wall, a teasing smile on my face as I turn to Red, the 'leader' of the Council.
"Aren't you going to say Hi to me Red?" I raise an eyebrow at him, though he couldn't see it. " Everyone else said Hi. Even Nirav over here said Hi." I jab my thumb in the direction of the creepy silent dude in the corner. He waves at me and I wave back at Nirav. He's the only one who I gave a proper name to.
"Hello, Kuro," He says exasperatedly. He's probably tired of my bullshit after all this time. But he can't just pretend that we weren't friends before all this bullshit. Besides, didn't you know that Red and Black are a Dangerous Duo?
Red and I used to work together in the same field. Some things happened, and I helped him climb the ladder a bit. We don't see each other much anymore after he joined the council. They used to be stuck up, dark, creepy motherfuckers. Now, they're a rainbow of stuck up, dark, creepy motherfuckers. Why? Because I gave them names instead of referring to them as one two and three. Well, I gave them adjectives. I used to work with the council a lot back then, but now it's all I do. Actually, it already was all I did.
‘It’s not like you have anything better to do’
Once Red got inside the council, I brought in Green. And when Red and Green entered, I got a mission. Then Grumpy and Dopey were out. And so it went on like that, bringing in new members and eliminating the old ones. Although we still have Jackass, Nirav(purple), and Stein (Gray). They stay.
These guys are the ones that are really in control. The Rainbow Council, as I like to call them are the ones that put the official council in their place. We set them straight. If the regular council fucks up, it's up to us to fix it. We're the ones in control, behind the scenes. The Regulars fuck up, The Rainbow issues an order, I do the dirty work. Of course, I'm not the only one who does these missions. There are others. But apparently, I'm their go-to Assassin.
Now, I say 'we' because I'm usually involved in most of the High priority missions or assassinations. Sometimes I even help with the plotting. I joke about taking over the world with them and how fun the process would be, before I threaten them never to attempt it and go off to prison.
"-Kuro!" Someone yells. I blink and stare down at Red. What's he doing beneath me?
"What are you doing down there?" I ask, tilting my head to the side. I notice that my hand is wrapped around his throat and the other is held outward towards the other Rainbow Council members. I release Red and stand up, letting my arm fall to my side. Woops.
"Hehe..Woops" I laugh awkwardly, a smile on my face. This happens way too often. I get lost in my thoughts, and I attack anyone who approaches me. "Sorry, Red" I say, sticking a hand out to Red. The Colors, who were tense earlier, relaxed. Red glares at my hand before taking it. I yank him up off the floor and pat his shoulder. "All good, see?" Red glares at me before walking up the steps to the table.
"I actually thought you had us there for a second!" Blue(Asul-amia/laria) laughs, sitting down in her chair. I shrug at her. It's not like I was aware of what I was doing. It was Red's fault for getting in a two foot radius of me.
"That was quite the show" Gray spoke, his glasses glinting in an unusual way. Strange Stein. I have to make cautionary measures in order to protect myself and keep the Rainbow in check. I know almost everything about each and every one of them—including their names. But I stick to their colors for the most part. (Keep the rainbow, change the names. Including jackass: Bolvany)
Red mutters something under his breath that I don't bother listening to, Jackass is staring at me in fear on his ass from the other side of the room, Creepy(Nirav) is in her Gaseous form, and Green eyes shakes his head at me before walking to his seat. The rest of the Rainbows just walk to their seats at the table muttering crap about me. Assholes.
"So.." I drawl, "What are we talking about?" Everyone resumes their usual stony and emotionless expressions. I take several steps back and lean on the wall again, sighing.
"We are not talking about anything" Green starts.
"You were turning in your report" Blue chimes in. Traitor. You were my favorite color too.
"And We were discussing The Experiments that you aren't cleared for" Jackass finishes. I glower at him, pushing myself off from the wall.
"Are you threatening me, Jackass?" I growl, my steps slow and intimidating as I make my way towards him. The ground cracks and sinks beneath my feet with every step I take, unable to handle the pressure I'm releasing.
"What are you going to do about it, bitch?" He taunts, standing from his seat. Coward finally grew a pair, did he? He picked the wrong bitch to mess with.
"You wanna know what I'm going to do about it then?” I ask calmly, losing my cool with every step I take. “I'm going to kill you–That's what!” I lunge at him, releasing a portion of my powers and shifting in mid-air.
My giant wolf body slams into Alex, pinning him down. My hackles raise and my lips curl upwards. I bare my teeth at him, growling.
"Listen, Alex" I growl at him, transmitting my words to everyone in the room. I pull out my claws and place them on his chest, sinking them into his skin. I slowly drag my claws down his chest.
"Kuro"
"Just remember," I curled my lips upwards even further and transmitted a few choice words solely to him.
"Kuro."
"–get slaughtered" I quickly swipe my paw down his chest creating three bloody and gory wounds on the upper half of his body before slowly stalking away and slunk into the shadows, ignoring the calls for me coming from behind.
"Kuro!"
