In the midst of the peaceful surroundings, one can hear the sounds of fighting going on, lessons being taught. Just like a lesson was being served to a new student, Meishka. A Russian Ninja who's roamed far and wide. She was tall and quiet, her hair always kept in a neat bun with a set of chopsticks in it.
Meishka had a mission none knew and she would like to keep it that way and so she continues with her lessons.

Training on Meishka's right, Toshi fought to concentrate on the task at hand.
'What have you been doing?! Have you forgotten your mission?!'
The voice screamed in his head, piercing his skull.
'I am still gaining their trust. When they trust me completely, then I will move to the next part of the plan.' The voice fell into an annoyed silence and he continued to train, clearing his mind of everything but the weapon in his hands.

Meishka studied the man next to her out of her peripherals while still training. She knew not of where he came from or how he had come to be accepted into this training facility. Not that she cared, she reminded herself, she was here for reasons that must not be discussed. For now she would train until she couldn't move anymore.
When their Sensei called for a break she abruptly turner to the man
Hello! I am Meishka of the Dushkov Clan. She brought her fist to her chest and tilted her head towards him and put her fist back down at her side.

"Oh! I...I'm Keiji... Keiji Masa." Stammering, he did his best to copy her movements, resulting in a sloppy, jerky imitation. "Th-The Dus-Dushkov Clan? Wh-where is that?"

Training still she replied jerkily.
Russia. That was all she could tell him. The Dushkov clan must remain in secret!
To where do you hail from? She said awkwardly in English.

"Wh-where-what? Oh! M-my clan. Th-" Why couldn't he think straight?! Toshi had rehearsed this a million times in his head. What was getting to him?! His work had been getting sloppy lately, he barely survived his last mission. Everything went wrong, he had blown his cover to smithereens, all because of a stupid mistake. He had to kill everyone then to keep his job and his neck.
'Your clan is dead. They were destroyed by th-'
'I got it, don't worry.' As much as the voice nagged him and scraped his nerves raw, the extra help did come in handy every so often. A little too often as of late...
"M-my clan was destroyed. I-i was a baby, I-i don't remember what happened... Th-they killed everyone..." He bowed his head and let a couple tears slowly glide down his cheeks, visible through his shaggy hair. His voice echoed the pain of thousands dead, their slaughter seen through young, innocent eyes. His arms hung limply at his side, his training forgotten.

Meishka knew he was lying to her.
If you would not like for Meishka to know then is fine with me. Pardon my language, I am foreign. But know I read lies.
She went back to training.

'If she knows I'm lying about this, what else does she know?' Toshi's face slipped, he prayed she didn't notice the moment of panic and fear in his eyes before he snapped back to Keiji.
'If she knows, your days are numbered. If she doesn't kill you, th-'
'Shut up! Let me think!' Surprisingly, the voice fell silent, not even the constant faint muttering of far off conversation could be heard from it. It was waiting. It wanted to know what he would do. So did he.
'Don't panic,' he told himself, 'My hair probably hid my reaction. Besides, she seems to expect me to hide where I'm from, she hid her past. Either way, I can't panic. If she does know, I'll just kill her like I did the others. What has gotten into me?! I can't keep slipping up like this!'
'You're running out of chances.'
Taking a deep breath to collect himself, hiding his fear with a nervous smile, he looked up to..Meishka did she say her name was? Opening his mouth to reply, he noticed she had lost interest and was concentrating on her training. This was a good sign. If she had known, she would have killed him instantly.

Meishka Sniffed and tasted the air. He was confused and frightened. Must be shy Meishka concluded. Maybe she should break the air? Or however they say it. Meishka shrugged mentally and suddenly stopped training and sat in a meditating style in a second. She closed her eyes her hands resting on her legs.
So...How do you take pleasure in your free time?

She was talking to him again. What should he say?! He thought he was off the hook, and was looking forward to time to think through his next step, but now he was being questioned again. His mind was still darting, flooded with worries and panic. 'Calm down, Toshi, it's just a simple question. She's just trying to get to know you.' He pretended not to have heard her for a moment, too concentrated on the staff he was wielding clumsily, buying a little more time. 'That's what I'm worried about. Just a little longer though, then I can get out of this mess and live my life in peace.' After the disaster that was his last mission, he had decided this would be his final mission before retiring.
'You do not say when you retire, or have you forgotten that? You belong to us. You will continue to do as we say, for as long as we command.'

Meishka cracked open one eye and breathed in deeply. Same. Hmph she would sit and meditate then. She would give this man time. She had patience. While he contemplated what ever it is he was thinking she day dreamed of her past.

Toshi did his best not to show his anger and frustration at the voice. 'You promised.'
'Complete this mission and we may review your contract.'
All his hopes for freedom were shattered. Why should he even bother completing this mission?
'Because if you don't, the consequences will be worse than death.'
There was no contract to review. He couldn't even remember how he got himself into this mess. It was just how his life was. He couldn't even remember his past. The pasts of all his identities filled his vast memory. Picking out the reality would be nearly impossible. He felt his soul shatter. All he could do is press on, complete yet another mission, lose himself yet more.
Pushing himself back into the identity of Keiji, he flailed the staff around in clumsy attempts at training. He attempted a hard swing to the left, spinning his whole body around a couple times from the momentum, his staff heading full force towards Meishka's skull.

Since Meishka was in meditation she more felt the staff coming than saw it. And her hearing was amplified when she meditated, so she heard it slice through the air. Before it had a chance to hit her she flung her hand out, eyes still closed and caught it. She righted it and held it out to him, palm up.
Be of care...Mr... Masa.She smiled faintly and opened her eyes to look at him.

Toshi/Keiji was thrown even more off-balance by the staff's sudden stop and fell on his face, in full character. He faded into Keiji's identity, barely keeping enough of himself in his conscious thought to perform the mission. This was his specialty.
Keiji slid face first into the ground beside her, bouncing a couple times and bowling over a few students.
