"Your bounty has increased Hijikata, you better watch yourself,"

A voice crackled in his ear, Mamoru's eyes opened and he lifted his head up in response. The wire outlines of the bar he kept most of his time at were still there, with only himself, the barkeep and a poor old drunken soul. The Underground was a dark and mysterious place, but it still never scared away a man's desire to drink his feelings away.

The barkeep was wiping down the bar top, listening to his radio. Most of the time some jazz was being played, rarely he would turn on the police scanner for Mamoru's sake, just in case. They have known each other for quite some time, but he never knew of the barkeeps actual name. He can't imagine "Jack" being his true name, but he went along with it anyways.

"That's hard even for a seeing man, I'll do my best," Mamoru spoke in a soft tone, as to not attract much attention. Even though there was no one to be seen in the bar, he can never be too careful. There were many people in the Underground, few dared to interact with him. There's even fewer that would be put on equal footing with him, those are usually the people who give him information about the goings on.

The voice chuckled darkly, "Your sense of humor never fails to amuse me." There was a long pause as the tone died down, "I have another job for you."

Mamoru took his feet off the table and set his chair down on all fours, "And what if I say no? This is the third one this week,"

"You forget our deal Hijikata... you do these favors for me, and you get to keep those eyes that were so graciously given to you."

Mamoru pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and stood up grabbing his cane. "Just tell me where to go," he grabbed his jacket and slung it over his shoulder, walking out of the bar into the unforgiving alley ways of the Underground.

"We're in pursuit of a robbery at the International Bank in Tokyo, suspect seems to be well armed, approach with caution,"

The walkie radio clicked once again

"Roger that Alpha, we're on it. Over" Sierra responded to the distress call, flicked on the sirens and sped off to their location. She turned to her partner for the night, "Are you ready for this rookie? This will be a big one for you,"

Officer Tooyama turned to Sierra and tried to muster a meek smile. She took a deep breath and nodded her head, "Yes I'm ready!"

"Your first field job in the special task force, you got high marks in your training, I'm sure you'll do fine." Sierra smiled at her, Haruka was a mere 22 and just graduated from training, but she was sure that she would do fine.

Arriving at the bank, they weren't the first ones there. The streets were riddled with cop cars, some going into the building and some staying by their cars waiting for more information. Sierra and Haruka got out of their car, readied their guns and walked up to the building. One of the officers saw them and let them inside, "Be careful, there's been reports of another suspect in there, also armed but he doesn't seem to want anything to do with us. We also haven't apprehended either of them, so we don't know what they're capable of."

"Thanks, we'll do our best. C'mon Haruka"

They both walked into the bank, and started searching. Going towards the vault were the suspect is supposed to be, they heard a set of voices. The officer was right, there was someone else there. Sierra stopped before the room and peeked around the corner, she saw two men standing there, one had the other by the throat and lifted up in the air, with a sword in his other hand.

"Who... is this man?" Sierra whispered to herself as Haruka peered around the corner with her getting a good look at the man in question.

As soon as she said that, the man turned around to look at them. He must have heard them, for he dropped the man he was holding by the throat, the body slumped onto the ground with a loud thud. He turned around fully to face the two women, and then it hit Sierra, she readied her gun and pointed it at him. She clicked her walkie;

"Blade is here, I repeat Blade is in the building send back up immediately!" She backed away and fired a few shots at Blade, "Haruka, get away as fast as you can! This man is dangerous and-" then a piercing scream came from her as Blade threw daggers into her chest, toppling her over in pain. Haruka then got a good look at Blade, standing 6ft tall, leather jacket and sunglasses. She was frightened, frozen in place.

"You're coming with me," his voice was hoarse, gritty and deep. He came up to her and tried to grab her, but she resisted, sparring with him for a mere few seconds before feeling a blow to the back of her head, blacking out.

A/N: As you probably guessed this is an AU I thought up a while ago. A little background; Mamoru is an assassin with a dark past hired by an info broker that provides his technologically advanced weaponry and electronics. Haruka was hired into a special police force with her pre-cognitive skills.
