Authors Note: So anyways, with Karakuri Burst on the epilogue, I need something new to write. So I was sitting down, enjoying a cup of tea, and I was thinking of a topic to write about. And then I thought, what if I write about some assassins, who are both on a mission to kill each others employer, and they end up falling on love and then drama and cheesy love stuff that I like writing about. Is it wierd that I'm a guy and I'm writing all these cheesy love stories? I dont even know anymore. Anyways, I mixed up some of the characters names. Gallerian, Sateriajis and Gumilia, are the parents of Kaito, Gakupo and Gumi, in that specific order, just saying so people dont get confused because those are Kaito's, Gakupo's and Gumi's names in the 7 deadly sins series. Either way, since its taking place around the time when everybody wore fancy coats and frilly things I decided to throw in some Duke Of Venomania since it works and it gives Gakupo and Gumi more character. Anyways, that's all for now, enjoy the fanfic.
Love at Gunpoint
Chapter 1: Destined To Meet
A long haired man rushed through the streets with a hood over his head. He arrived at the Kagamine family manor and knocked on the door. The red haired maid opened the door. "Sir, Master Kagamine has been expecting you." "Where can I meet him?" the man asked. "He's in his office and he's waiting for you right now, I will take you to him right away, please, come with me." The maid took the man to the office and knocked on the door. "Come in" a voice said. The maid opened the door and inside was an office with adorned chair where a blonde young adult sat. He looked no older than 20 but he was one of the most powerful men since he inherited his father's fortune. Len looked at the man with a cocky look. "And why do you not bow?" he asked. The man turned around to see that the servant was bowing and then looked back at Len. "Do you know who I am?" Len asked, "I am Len Lucifen Kaga-" he began but he was interrupted when he saw the man take off the rags he was wearing. Underneath was a royal looking purple coat, adorned with golden epaulettes, and a silk frilled necktie. Len nearly fell off his chair, although he was a very high ranked member of society it was clear that this man was definitely above him, but why was he working for him then? "Who...Who are you?"
"I am Lord Gakupo Venomania if you ask for something to call me by" Len's eyes widened. "Ve-Venomania? Like" he couldn't even believe who was in front of him. "Yes, I am one of Sateriajis Venomania's sons, his 8th child to be exact and one of the few still alive" "That...Is that really possible?" Len asked. The man took out a pocket watch from his vest pocket and clicked it open. On the inside of the cover was a carefully carved picture of Sateriajis with Gumilia Glassred. This sealed it as it was common knowledge that Sateriajis had commissioned that image to be etched into the cover of his pocket watch, and it was done by one of the best artists around, and this one looked exactly the same. The watch, the clothes, that same bored look which always said "I want something more", that man was definitely one of Sateriajis' descendants.
"Which woman's son are you?" Len asked completely forgetting that that could be a sensitive topic and was surprised as Gakupo brought up his sleeve to meet his face. Len could barely see a gun underneath the flowing sleeve. "That's none of your business" Gakupo said and when he was sure he made his point he lowered his arm. "I...I understand" Len said "But, if you are such a high ranking person, why do you chose to do this profession." Gakupo sighed "Frankly, the Venomanias aren't really the most well known name that women go after, so I dont see myself spending the rest of my life in bed with a different woman every night like my father did, and speaking of my father, I dont plan on making a deal with the devil to make myself irresistible to women, I have my one night stands myself, but I'm not completely obsessed. There's more to life than women, something that my father always failed to see, and you see how he ended up? He's probably burning somewhere in hell right now, and he'll keep on burning there for the rest of eternity. Was it all worth it? I seek adventure in life, I like taking gambles and doing difficult and risqué things. So I heard an assassin gets a pretty good pay, so instead of spending my life at home like my brothers, I go out and seek true enjoyment, I have a passion for what I do, and since I can do it so well, why not make some gold out of it? You dont have to be scared or act differently because I'm an honorary member of society, right now you're the employer, but dont expect me to bow and all that kind of nonsense. You're paying me to kill, and that's the only thing I'll do for you"
"Very well then" Len said "Please have a seat." Gakupo drew a chair and sat down, crossing one leg over the other. "I'm sure you're aware of the Shion family, I believe that a man by the name Gallerian Sh-" he began but Gakupo finished it for him "Cross dressed to get into my fathers manor and killed him to get his wife back. Yes, I'm aware who the Shions are. Wow, they were here all along, I'm getting pretty sloppy, I had no idea they were here." "Well, Gallerian's son, Kaito, is in love with my sister Rin, and I'm scared that he will-" but Gakupo interrupted him again "Rin Lucifen Kagamine? Is that the Rin you're talking about?" he asked. "Yes thats her" Len replied and Gakupo looked at him questioningly "That's the woman that I heard you are to marry soon, isnt that incest?" "Well yes, technically but we didn't even grow up together, we only found out we were siblings after we fell in love, it was kind of like fate for us" Len replied. "I guess" Gakupo said "Its your love life, do whatever you desire" "Moving on" Len continued "I want Kaito Shion dead, does that sound good to you, just imagine yourself, finally avenging your father, standing above his corpse and your father could finally feel some retribution wherever he is right now?" "Frankly, I'd love to rip that bastard's son's spinal cord out right through his throat for murdering my father before my eyes. Do you know how painful it was for me to see him in so much agony, as the poison ran through his veins, he was reaching out so desperately, yet none of those ice cold bitches had the heart to help him. They just left him there, to bleed until he died. Even the woman he loved, Gumilia Glassred, she just simply looked back at him one last time as he said his last words "Don't go, I haven't told you that I love you" she still walked out of the manor and left him there, along with me and my other 9 siblings to just stand and watch. Like I said, I'd love to give him the most brutal murder possible, but I need to know what you're going to give me for it." Gakupo said. "You can have this" Len said as he took out a pouch filled with golden coins. Gakupo smiled and opened the pouch and observed the coins. "Very well then, you have yourself a man dead" Gakupo said as he got up and held his hand out. Len smiled and shook hands with Gakupo. Gakupo then covered his elaborate clothes back underneath the rags he wore when he came in and walked outside, on his way to the Venomania manor to prepare himself for the assassination. Using the money that his father left behind for him, he outfitted his coats and jackets with state of the art equipment ranging from hidden pistols and blades to grappling hooks and short compact crossbows, all made by the finest of craftsmen available, and all adorned with carvings and the etched initials GV, Gakupo Venomania.
Meanwhile, a similar situation was going on nearby. A woman walked through the streets she too was covered in rags, but she wasn't heading to the Kagamine manor. She was heading to the Shion manor. She knocked on the door and a brown haired servant openeed the door. He too rushed her in and took her to Kaito's room. Kaito however knew who he was about to meet. As the woman discarded her rags, Kaito got up and went to shake her hand. "Miss Gumi Glassred" he said but she corrected him "Lady Glassred." "Excuse me, my lady" Kaito said and shook her hand "Im very glad you could make it here today. So tell me again, how comes such a rich and powerful woman such as you chose to do something as risky as being an assassin" he asked as he pulled out a seat for her. "You should know of my past, my mother, Gumilia Glassred, she's where I got my name from." she said as he sat down. "Ah yes. My father spoke of her, he said she was Sateriajis' favorite wife out of that entire harem, he even told her that he loved her as his last words. Pretty sad tale if you ask me" he said and the woman's eyes lit with fury. "That man raped my mother and you pity him because neither she nor the other women in the harem helped him when he died. Maybe its because I'm not really his daughter, Sateriajis never got my mother pregnant, but I believe that he deserved a more painful death than a stab wound, but still that's not what you want to know anyways. I became a skilled fighter because I knew I would need it. My mother always told me to watch my back, and she wasn't wrong. Two of Sateriajis' sons actually tried to kill me, one is dead, the other ended up seriously wounded, they say that its all my mothers fault that their father is dead. Anyways, I'm not that much of a stay-at-home-girl either way, I like to go out and live life to the fullest that I can, so since I developed myself into such a lethal fighter, I chose this as a part time hobby which later evolved into how I make my living." Kaito nodded with amazement "I applaud you" he said "You're a pretty strong willed woman, I'm glad you decided to take this job, don't worry, it will all be over quickly, and you will receive a very good payment" "Who do I kill" Gumi asked. Kaito pulled out a sketch of Len from his pocket, "This man right here" he said "Len Lucifen Kagamine. He's in love with the woman I love, but that's not all, that woman happens to be his sister. Its incest! Its wrong! He's sick in the head, she's better off with me..." Kaito finished. "And what do I get?" Gumi asked. Kaito took out a bag from underneath his desk and produced a golden statue from it. "This is an ancient relic, you cant really put a price on it, its just that rare. And it'll be yours for the death of just one man". Gumi got up and looked at the structure, rotating it and eventually putting it down and saying "I accept" and she shook hands with Kaito, just as Gakupo did with Len. Kaito clapped twice. "Luka! Bring the lady her clothes back at once!" he shouted and the pink haired servant rushed and and gave Gumi her clothes. "Pleasure doing business with you" Gumi said as she exited the Shion manor. "Likewise" Kaito replied as he shut the door behind him, picturing Len's death and his marriage to Rin in his head. Gumi was off to go plan her assassination as well. She had used all the money that Sateriajis had given to her mother to train herself and become a master assassin, and had built all of her equipment by herself. Although her equipment was slightly inferior to Gakupo's, she knew how to fight and move about without it, being amazingly agile. And now, there were two assassins, one who did it for fun, to escape boredom, and one who did it for a living. As they returend to their individual households and planned each other's employer's deaths, they had no idea that when their paths would cross, it would be more than they expected.
