Rin Itou was an child assassin hired by La Squadra di Esecuzioni to kill Bruno Bucciarati. After failing their mission, Bruno's compassion led them to the light, and they were adopted by him after cutting ties with La Squadra. Due to the nature of their Stand which was awakened from a young age, they don't know what their true gender or age is.
Guido Mista needs no introduction, though things have changed for our unlucky lucky marksman. For 3 years after the end of Vento Aureo, he has been travelling the world on back to back missions for Passione, earning himself a rather large sum of money and a wealth of worldly experiences before returning to Italy, now with his own safehouse in Naples and other luxuries afforded to a high-ranking member of the mafia.
And now, their paths intersect.
So they said they would meet me here. I wonder who this is to Bruno to call me out here like this. Mista thinks to himself as he slowly drives through the docks.
Rin sighed as he was bringing in the fishing nets from the side of the dock. He was wearing a tank top and had his hair tied back to keep it out of the way of his work. He lifted the big haul as he smirked knowing that he would bring in a nice paycheck for papa Bucciarati with the catch as a car caught his eye. Seeing the figure inside he knew the man he had been waiting to meet had finally arrived as he emptied the net, letting his boss know he would collect his pay soon. Walking up the steps of the dock as he smirked looking into the car.
"Oi, you Guido Mista?" The young man asks rudely.
Mista rolls down his window, "You are...", Mista pauses and looks at his phone, "Rin?" He says in a japanese accent.
"Yeah, I'm Rin Itou. I am sorry for meeting you at the dock as papa Bucciarati…" The young man pauses slightly before continuing. "He hasn't been himself since...you know." He said as he wasn't going to go into detail of what happened at Bruno's house. The sight of Bruno's despair in his own home hurt Rin. Though it made his blood boil, he wasn't going to let his violent side take over. He knew his papa wanted everyone to work out their problems while he recovered.
"Yeah, I guess so, huh?" Mista seemed a little solemn, before continuing. "So why did you call me out here?"
"Well papa Bucciarati was wanting everyone's keys to the house back...but also I had heard you were a gunman and was wondering if it is true about your aim." Rin smirked a bit as he hadn't had much of a challenge since he last tried assassinating papa Bucciarati and he wanted to practice his old skills. He still had his old weapons back at the house in good working order too.
"Oh yes! The keys. Here, here" Mista exclaims, parking his car before getting out, passing the keys to Rin.
"You want to see my aim? Hehe, I suppose I should humour you then. You see that tiny can all the way over there? I bet I can bounce it all the way into that trash can there." Mista says, pointing to a can 150 meters away from the duo and guiding Rin's eye to a garbage can 20 meters to the right of the tiny can. Mista pulls his revolver out of his pocket and loads 6 bullets, aiming at the tiny can. He fires the first shot, hitting the bottom left side of the can, hitting it into the air to the right. His second shot nails the can's left side, spinning it horizontally towards the garbage can. A third shot hits the bottom, bouncing the can up. A fourth shot skins the bottom of the can, giving it more height. A fifth and six nails the left and right of the can's middle and balances it onto the rim of the garbage can, teetering back and forth.
"Go and look at the can at a closer distance, I left a surprise for you." Mista gestures Rin to go and check the can
Rin smirks seeing Mista's display as he goes to inspect the can himself wondering what Mista left for him. He was impressed for sure as he had never seen shooting like that in Osaka or Tokyo for that matter. Maybe after he dropped off the key he could hang around Mista for awhile. He had nothing more to do after all. He had no modeling to do till the weekend and fishing was done for the rest of the week anyways. Rin reaches the garbage can, inspecting the tiny can. The can had a smiley face imprinted by the shots, teetering just long enough for Rin to see it before falling into the garbage can. Rin smirked again at Mista's sharpshooting.
"That is really fancy shooting if I say so myself. Honestly I am a little rusty since it's been awhile from the last time I handled mine. Though maybe that could change today." He said strolling back over to the car giving Mista a wink.
"Heh, you live with Bucciarati, right? I can give you a ride there for you to drop the keys off and get your guns." Mista chuckles at Rin's wink and opens the passenger door for him.
Rin gets into the car as he nods as he buckles up." Oh, I'm not sure if the gang has told you about my Stand yet." He said as most of papa Bucciarati's gang knew but this was his first time meeting Mista.
"I'm not, Bucciarati kept you as his secret." Mista grins as he starts the car and drives towards Bruno's house. Rin kept quiet and took in the luxury of his ride and the scenery around them. After a short drive from Capri's docks to Bruno's family home, Mista rolls up to the house and parks, giving Rin time to go and get whatever he wants. Mista waited outside the car, trunk open.
Rin got outside of the car as he went inside the house depositing the key that Mista had given him. Going upstairs as he changed used Illusion to dress a little more stylish putting on a nice suit with scales on the sleeve. Smiling still having his hair pulled back in a ponytail as he loaded up his duffle bag with guns as he zipped it up with the little sakura blossom charm as he made his way down to Mista's car. He locked the door behind him like papa Abbacchio taught him to do.
"You seem very put together, Rin." Mista says, commenting on their etiquette.
"Well cause of my stand it is hard to define my age really." Rin said getting into Mista's car as he put the duffle bag into the back, sitting in the passenger seat as he sighed. "I use to be an assassin for hire before this since the money was good yet it made me feel empty"
"Assassin work does tend to feel that way. I've had my fair share of assassinations as well. How about we practice shooting on the beach? I could give you some of tips on your technique." Mista offers, getting into the driver's seat.
"Alright it depends on which form though." Rin teased as he would let Mista in on that clue once they got to the beach soon enough on the true nature of his stand's ability.
"Forms, eh? Sounds interesting." Mista starts the car and drives to the beach.
After a bit of driving, Mista parks his car and lets Rin get out grabbing his duffle bag from the trunk. He unzips it carefully looking at the selection of guns he brought out trying to think which one to choose from. Mista gets out and sets up some shooting targets in the distance, jogging back towards Rin.
"Which ones did you bring along?" Mista asks, looking over Rin's shoulder after coming back from setting up.
Rin shuffled a few guns as he had a Springfield XD 9mm, AR-15, Colt M4 Carbine, Dan Wesson 8"BB Revolver, and other varieties of military grade weaponry.
"Pretty. Bruno lets you keep all of these?" Mista says, marvelling at the array.
"It was what I had brought with me on the job. But as long as I keep them locked up away from Cass he lets me keep them." Rin said calmly as they were his back up if the need arose to protect his new family.
"So which one do you want to try first?" Mista probes, looking to help the young man improve.
"The Springfield seems to be the one I have neglected the most out of all of them." Rin said as he had used the last couple during his past few jobs before hand.
"Hm, nice and compact. Not my style, but I can respect it. Try hitting some of those targets." Mista says, pointing towards the targets he set up earlier.
Rin inspects his firearm before loading the Springfield as he raises his firearm taking a steady breath focusing as he aims shooting off a few rounds at the targets knowing they might be a slight bit off from center since he was rusty.
"Not bad, a little off-center." Mista says, looking at the targets with a pair of binoculars he pulled from his trunk.
Rin nodded as he huffed. "It could be my form as the last time I shot with this weapon. I wasn't in this form before." He said as his stand came out touching his shoulder as his skin shifted like scales, transforming his appearance to a female form. "I can see if this form will be better." She said, the voice was different but still feeling and talking like Rin.
"Hm, so appearance shifting, huh? Let's try it again." Mista said with a grin, pleasantly surprised.
Rin took aim looking more relaxed. She started shooting at the targets hitting center each time. She smiled, happy with the result. "I need to practice more with my male form but I usually use the Springfield in my female form, I can handle the kick better from using it."
"It is lighter after all." Mista says, flashing a thumbs up, confirming the hits through his binoculars.
Rin blushed as Mista gave her the thumbs up. It felt nice to have someone compliment her on her shooting. It had been awhile since she had found someone to do this with and it was nice to bond over it instead of killing someone and the dead silence which followed.
"Do you think you can hit a moving target?" Mista asks Rin.
"Are you suggesting we find some prey to hunt?" Rin asked knowing that Capri had a bit of a vermin issue and killing rats would be easy.
"Nah, I want you to try shooting my bullets out of the air. Ah, here they are." Mista digs around his trunk for an ammo box and puts it on the ground, looking through the ammo types he had. After searching a bit, Mista pulls out a round of flared bullets. "These fly slower than usual bullets. Do you think you can hit them?"
"I can try to." Rin said as she had hit moving targets before but again bullets were a different story. What would happen if she missed?
"Don't worry about getting hurt, we'll start easy. I'll stand off to your right and shoot at your left. That way, you'll have a perpendicular shot to mine" Mista explains.
Rin nodded as she was preparing herself for the first rounds as hopefully this would work like Mista said.
Mista ran off to Rin's right into the brush. "Ready?" Mista shouted in Rin's direction.
"Ready." Rin said as she raised her firearm keeping her focus to her right, overcompensating her aim.
Mista caught this before he started shooting and reminded her. "Make sure you're aiming towards the targets, my shot will fly by in front of them!"
"3!" Rin, catching Mista's reminder, aimed at the midde of the targets, ready.
"2!"
"1! FIRE!"
A shot flies by in front of the targets.
Rin takes quick aim firing a shot towards Mista's bullet quick as she waits for the next one.
"Close! Take a breath before shooting and focus! GO!" Mista says as he fires a second shot.
Rin took a breath before shooting at the second bullet, hoping it hits this time.
"You're getting closer! Take the wind into account! FIRE!" Mista offers his advice as he fires the third shot.
Rin takes in another breath as she focuses more, shooting at the third shot as she hits it straight on.
"Good shot! See if you can hit it again! GO!" Mista shoots a fourth shot forgetting his curse.
Rin takes another breath as she fires. Before her shot hits lands, Mista's bullet explodes in mid-air.
"Um! I guess you hit it?" Mista shouts from his position, embarrassed.
Rin blinks to as she was confused from it exploding as well.
"Try again, just forget that shot. GO!" Mista focuses and shoots a fifth shot.
Rin breathes again shooting at the target as she hits again. She was proud of herself for getting back into the swing of things.
"One more for the road?" Mista shouts to Rin.
"Sure." Rin shouts as why not since she was having fun anyway.
"FIRE!" Mista yells, shooting the sixth flared shot.
Rin breathes as she fires, hitting the final target. She smiles, putting the firearm to her side before walking over to Mista.
"Good work! 3 out of 6 shots is good for a 'rusty shot'." Mista teases her.
"I still need practice. I wouldn't mind going out more if your free." Rin said with a smile, knowing she enjoyed herself this time.
"Of course, we can use normal rounds if you like. A bit harder but I think you can do it." Mista says with a smile before turning away to clutch his chest. Damn, she's really cute with that smile.
"I see. I would like the challenge." Rin said giggling softly, impressed with Mista as well as how charming he could be. No wonder the whole mess at the house was caused by him, she thought as a slight blush came to her cheeks.
"Go back to your position, I'll call out my shots again" Mista says, looking at Rin and reloading at the same time. Noticing her blush, he waits for her to look up before shooting her a wink. "You seem a little red. Are you alright?"
Rin does as she reloads her weapon. Looking up, she caught Mista's wink and began to blush more. "I am fine, just fire the rounds now." She said fuming, being caught off guard with her flushed cheeks.
"Carefully now, I don't only shoot bullets" Mista grins, teasing her. He takes a breath, focusing his aim. "READY? FIRE!" Mista yells as he fires the first shot in front of the targets
Rin tries to focus as she misses the bullet. She lost her focus thanks to Mista's teasing.
"Come on, don't tell me you have a crush now?" Mista continues to tease Rin before aiming again. "Ready for shot 2?"
"Maybe if you stop teasing me I could focus." Rin fumed, feeling like Mista was doing this on purpose. Still, it was nice to have someone to her match in gunmanship. But losing focus over tension was not helping.
"Any marksman should be calm under fire. Any fire." Mista laughs before shouting again. "SHOT 2! READY? FIRE!" Mista shoots a second shot.
Rin's eyes go wide as she tries her best to hit the bullet, missing it again. "You did that on purpose didn't you?" She yells back in anger.
"You got to stay calm, Rin. Can't let any man distract you now." Mista devolves into giggles as he tries to recompose himself. "READY FOR SHOT 3! GO!" Mista yells, firing a third shot.
Rin smirks knowing how to play this game as she shoots at the bullet but not before Illusion changes her outfit to something a little revealing that shows off her nice curves as it also allows her breasts to jiggle from the gun's recoil slightly.
"Very nice, that Stand of yours gives 'eye candy' a whole new meaning, Rin. I might be a flirt but I'm a marksman first" Mista says, laughing before recomposing himself. "MISFIRE!"
Mista yells as he shoots the fourth bullet towards the sea, hitting a random drug dealer on the water in the eye.
"SHOT 5! READY? FIRE!" Mista yells as he shoots the fifth shot.
Rin takes a breath, smirking as she focuses hitting the bullet in time as she sighs. "Well serves you right for flirting with me. Besides it worked a little on you to have to misfire like that." She grinned, squeezing her chest a little as a tease.
Hearing a scream from the water, Mista looks around and sees that he's stopped a drug deal on the water. "What do you mean? That was a perfect shot."
Rin giggled seeing the drug dealer fall into the water. "I suppose it was a lucky shot."
"Never a wasted shot." Mista says boisterously. "Ready for the final shot? 3! 2! 1! FIRE!"
Mista shouts as he fires the sixth shot.
Rin breaths as she focuses shooting the bullet as she hit it this time without fail. Looking back over to Mista thinking that would be the last of the rounds he had left.
"Very good! And here I thought you weren't used to that form. One more round before we get into target shooting?" Mista teases, getting an eyeful of Rin as he asks.
"Like at seeing who can knock down their targets the fastest?" Rin asked, interested in Mista's proposition, knowing that there was usually a prize for the winner.
"Yup, And target duelling wouldn't be any fun without a prize, would it?" Mista explains.
"I was going to ask that same question." Rin said looking like a cat waiting to hear what the prize would be and the challenge she would have to do to gain it.
"Heh, I like my prizes to stay a surprise." Mista says with a wink. "You should know what you have to do first." He explains.
"Oh? So what is my objective to win the prize then?" Rin said more eager to know how to get it now than ever at this point.
"I'll set up 12 targets for each of us to shoot, whoever shoots the 12 the quickest wins. I'll try going easy, using normal rounds instead of my quickest ones."
Rin grins at his handicap."You sure about that? I plan on winning that prize for sure then." She said wanting to know the surprise.
"Heh, you've yet to see my quickdraw, Rin." Mista taunts. "I won't even use my Stand."
Rin giggles. "Alright then set them up then." She said smirking loading her firearm again readying herself for the challenge.
"Give me a minute." Mista runs into the distance to set up 12 targets of varying distance before coming back and getting a stopwatch from his trunk. "Ok, start shooting when you're ready"
Rin waits, patient but eager as she watches Mista set up the 12 targets before getting the stopwatch from the trunk of his car. Taking a deep breath as she raises her firearm up as she focuses before firing off rounds getting 12 shots into each target as fast as she can. At the crack of the first bullet Mista clicks the stopwatch.
After shooting an entire round, Rin finishes looking at the targets as she put her firearm down sighing as she was sure she hit every last one.
"30 seconds, not bad. I'll run in to check and set it up again, give me a moment, Rin." Mista runs into the field looking at each target before setting them up in the same position. "Now should I use my revolver or your pistol?"
Rin smirks."Well whatever you believe is fair. Though using the same firearm is only fair to be honest." She said loading more rounds into the magazine clip for Mista.
"Heh, I suppose my quickdraw show will have to wait. I'll show you an entirely different technique then." Mista winks and checks the gun over, testing his aim.
Rin smirks at Mista's wink, wanting to see this technique Mista was talking about. "Alright let's see it then."
"Come a little closer, I need to make sure you're going to time me properly" Mista beckons Rin forward, pointing Rin's pistol downwards.
Rin smirks coming closer, thinking Mista was trying to make sure she wasn't cheating him.
"This one will blow your mind" Mista whispers as he pulls Rin into a hug and french kisses her as he begins firing one handed, taking a second to aim and another second to pull the trigger and shoot. He pulls away to reveal he'd grabbed and started the timer and had clicked it at 24 seconds on the dot. "How's that for a technique?" Mista smiles seductively.
Rin blushed as she was french kissed. She knew Mista had done that to get the upper hand as her heart raced a bit. Her face was flushed a bit as for sure she knew he was taking advantage of her soft spot for having someone to have a match in marksmanship.
"Seems like it was effective." Mista giggles. Mista takes Rin by the hand and leads her to the targets, showing a bullseye in each target. "Like what you see?"
Rin smirked as she was led to the targets. "Yes but you didn't start the timer till after your second shot so it's not fair." She said pouting a bit, still wanting a prize.
"That'd only be 2 extra seconds, still faster than yours" Mista says, teasing her and gauging a reaction from her.
Rin sighed, knowing he was right but she was really hoping to win. She would have to keep practicing then.
"You really want a prize, huh? I suppose it was unfair to issue a challenge I knew I was going to win after all." Noticing her mood, Mista places his hand on his chin for a second, before spreading his arms out before her dramatically. "One free wish, if it's within my power, I will grant it."
"Hm, how about a date then?" Rin said as she was wondering if that was within his power of doing so. The difference between him and the rest of the gang drew her interest to him and she wanted to gauge his charm herself.
"Hahaha, your wish is my command." Mista laughs as he takes an exaggerated bow, lending her his arm as they walk back to the car. "Surely we can't go out looking like this, do you have the clothing for a date?" Mista says with a gentlemanly air.
Rin giggled as Illusion appeared changing her outfit to a blue short dress as the top was a see through lace. Her hair done up in a messy bun as she smiled to Mista."It is nice to have a Stand able to change outfits on the fly."
"It really is, isn't it. I guess we can start after we drop off your guns at Bruno's place." Mista helps put away the gear, bringing the used targets and throwing them in a nearby garbage can.
Rin nods as she puts the Springfield DX back into the duffle bag as she puts it into the trunk of the car. She smirks as she gets into the front passenger seats, she was definitely looking forward to their date.
