HUNT
Prologue
Shouta stood in a dark alley in Tokyo, waiting for someone to pass. He had yet to please his schedule tonight, and he needed to hurry before time was up. The man had been there for a few hours now, and not a single acceptable target had been revealed.
He would wait. The next would be his victim.
Tomo walked down one of the many sidewalks in Tokyo. It was getting late, and she had to get home or else there would be hell on earth at her house. She yawned as she turned the corner onto the road to her house.
Shouta watched as a young teenaged girl turned onto the road he waited by. She seemed like a good target. He moved a bit closer to the road. The girl approached his hiding spot quickly. He watched as she stepped before his alley.
Tomo continued on her way down the dark street. She heard something move in one of the alleys as she got near it. 'Just a cat,' she thought, not even glancing in its direction. She stretched her arms above her head as she passed the alley by.
Shouta stepped quietly out of the alley behind the girl as she passed his spot. He pulled a small wet rag from behind his back. The girl must have heard him leave the alley, as she stopped and turned to face him.
He grabbed her shoulder and jammed the rag over her nose and mouth before she could respond. She stooped moving instantly and fell forward. Shouta caught her, flung her over his shoulder, and walked off into the alley to his 'lair'. 'Such an easy catch,' he thought a he stepped into the alley.
