A/N: Ignore my grammar mistake and enjoy.


5 years has pass since then.

If he is correct he is bought by a rich man about those five years ago, 4 months, 3 hours and 10 seconds. Why did he bother counting anyway? He starts to count after that man bought him from the black market so that s how his life begins, he is given number 444 the number of death as his name from that day.

The man didn't use him for pleasure or anything since for the man eyes he is nothing more than a weapon to be used and a shield for him. Many people try to kill him since he cost millions in the bingo book so that explain the reason he hired him as his bodyguard.

Are you wondering who he bought?

Well that boy is 16 years old now, average height, light blue hair, thin and pale. His weapon is emotionless just the way that man like since humans that are born as weapon must stay emotionless. That is how the world works since murderers aren't suppose to have any feelings.

Ever since he is born he has an ability to turn any part of his body into any weapon that he can imagine, such as he can turn his hand into a gun or his body into a bulletproof armor. Among the entire assassin that the man owns he is the favorite for being the most dangerous and fearsome boy ever live.

He is place in a small and comfortable room, there is only a single bed inside the room and everything else is white. There is a wooden chair place beside the window where he always sits as he stares out from the window.

It makes him feel less lonely as he sits there.

Every day he will sit on that wooden chair until someone call him about a new mission usually it will be accompanied his master protecting him from any harm or just kill someone who dare to betray his master. Seeing blood everyday is something he is used too, back in the old days when he was a kid he will cry seeing that bloody sight but after being torture by his tutor for years everything have change.

Now he is capable hiding his emotion and become the perfect puppet.

He though his dull life will continue this way that is until the day he met a certain someone, the person that will someday call as his first friend.

That day when he met him is when he was looking out from the window as always, the peaceful voice suddenly got interrupt by a loud voice. Feeling curious he stood up to take a better look and sees a blond boy walking toward the front door with a wide smile on his face. He never saw a blond boy in this mansion before.

"444." The head butler call him after he knocks three times just like every time he is called for a mission. "Master is calling for you."

He obeys and walk out from his room, slowly he take step by step wearing his black gothic clothes with gold lining. Wearing knee-high socks with black zebra lines and shoes with purple and red color laces. His clothes are has white-collar with ribbon tie around his neck, his black sleeves is long passing his knee and his blazer with unique line are button except the part passing his hips so his short can be seen.

His master has a good taste in fashion.

"We're here." The butler said with his normal cold tone before opening the door for him.

When he step inside he sees the blond kneel in front of his master, it take him a few seconds to guess that the blond is the new assassin that his master hiring after seeing the gun hang behind him. His master greets him with a smile after seeing his presence in the room.

"Number 444, you're finally here."

444 simply bow before walking near them; his eyes never left the eye-catching color of yellow. He didn't get to see the face since the blond head is still down as he kneel since it is one of the rule to never looking at their master eyes.

"I have hired a new assassin and it says he has an ability to copy any attack that he sees." His master tells him. "From now on I'm placing him as your apprentice."

It didn't take long for him to realize his master is planning for this blond assassin to copy his ability and then he will have a spare if one of them dies.

"Yes master."

The blond finally look up with a smiley face that he shows toward him, the number 444 simply look at him with blank face before signaling him to follow. The blond bow once more toward his new master before following his 'senpai' out of the room, when he sees that blond still has that smile on his face almost piss him off.

Why is he smiling?

Assassins aren't supposed to have any emotion.

"Senpai, please take care of me from now on."

Instead of replying to Kise the 'senpai' asks him for his number.

"Number?"

"Every assassin that master bought has been name with numbers, my number is 444. What about yours?"

"Um . . . My name is Kise Ryota. I don't have number."

'What?'

"Please stop lying to me, we were born with number as our names since all assassin are orphan and if you were born with parents you wouldn't have end up in this kind of place unless you are stupid enough to sold yourself to become a murderer."

"That's right." Kise said with a cheerful tone. "I just sold myself to your master yesterday."

His senpai almost punch him at the face for being so stupid but since he is train to be emotionless he continue to walk as he ignore Kise is trying to call him. The blond follow him all the way to his room and look surprise to his room is almost . . . empty.

"Where's the decoration? Why is it so damn empty?" Kise asks. "You should put more color into this room."

"I like it this way." The assassin tells him before taking his sit on the chair.

"Is this what you do every day?" Kise asks taking a sit on his bed.

"Yes." He answers shortly.

It was then his life is slowly changing, after Kise come in his life he always hear loud noises which is quite annoying but didn't say anything about it. Another chair is place in front of him which belong to Kise since every day the blond will take a sit in front of him watching the scenery out from the window together. There are times he think Kise is not so annoying when he tells him stories of his adventure.

He feeling curious on what kind of friend that Kise has, he says something about his other four friends that is born with ability as well. There are times when Kise almost spit out their name but quickly stop himself. The true is he doesn't mind knowing the name of Kise comrade since it has nothing to do with him.

What he wants to hear is Kise stories of the outside world and his voice full of excitement when he starts to talk about the exciting part of his stories.

"Why did you come here even though you have a great life in the outside world?" He decide to asks.

Kise has a secretive smile on his face when he asks that question.

"Who knows?" Making him more curious.

It would be a lie to say Kise is an annoyance but the true is he like the blond presents so much that it will make him worried if the blond come to his room one minute late than the schedule. Before he knows it he starts to feel emotion again and Kise decide not to say anything about it since he is happy just to see a small smile on that person face.

They have become friends long ago before he notices it.

"Hey, Kurocchi." Kise starts calling him Kuro because he wears black all the time, never once in his life he wears something bright. "I think I like you."

"Like?"

"It is a feeling of care toward someone but its okay my feelings toward you is only as a friend." Kise laughs.

"I'm sorry but I don't understand of this word 'like'."

It was then Kise starts another lesson with Kurocchi about the words, it is a surprise for him to learn that there are many things his senpai didn't know yet so he takes this free time to teach him everything he could.

A special bond is place between them, something unbreakable that nobody can cut.

"Excuse me." The butler enters unannounced.

At first they thought that master is calling for Kuro again but when he calls for Kise they both are surprise. The assassin feels worried knowing his master is calling Kise for a mission, for a minute there he doesn't want the blond to go and pull him sleeve which send him an uneasy look from the butler.

KIse gives him a reassuring pat on his head before walking out of the room.

That is the last time he gets to see the blond in that room, ever since that day Kise didn't return so he once again sit alone in that room facing an empty chair with no owner. He can't get use to this silence anymore since Kise supposed to be here telling him stories but . . . he is no longer here anymore.

A single tear start falling out from his eyes before follow by others.

He looks down at his knee and sees drop by drop touching his knee, how long has it been since he last cry. His tongue starts to travel around his lips to taste the salty tears.

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?" His master shouts angrily as he enters the room. "You're not supposed to have any feelings."

He starts to feel sharp pain on his skin when his master start to whip him.

"STOP CRYING MONSTER!"

He hates the way he is was treated; he hates it so much that he wants to die. That doesn't sounds like a bad idea since if he dies he gets to see Kise again. Before his master can whip him again they heard a loud explosion causing the mansion to shake a bit. For once he can see the fear expression on his master face when he feel the ground is shaking for a few minutes. The wall beside them starts to crack after that big impact making the man fall on the ground.

"Ki-kill them. Kill those intruders!" He orders.

The assassin obey and quickly run out from that room, when he is nearby the stairs he sees the other assassin that his master hire is drop dead on the ground.

The color of red spread everywhere, there are even some blood stuck on the ceiling.

"Another challenger." He heard a mocking voice directly to him.

He looks down to see a human suddenly appear carrying a large sword behind his back, he has a smile on his face and that face is telling him that he wants to battle here at this bloody arena now.

Since it is his master orders to kill the intruders he accept the challenge and jump own from 10 000 feet and land safely on the ground transforming his foot into a soft cushion before turning it back.

"Nice landing but let see how good you are in fighting."

Out of nowhere the tainted man suddenly appear in front of him and swinging his word catching him off guard, quickly he transform his arms into a shield and being push back making his back hit hard with the wall.

"You have an ability too, nice."

The assassin sighs when he raise his hand turning it into two double sword making his opponent watch in awe.

"My name is Aomine Daiki, what's yours?" He asks.

Not replying to the man question he quickly ran toward him as he cross his hand so he can shield himself from the upcoming attack and damage this guy call Aomine at the same time. Aomine didn't seem pleas that his opponent didn't tell his name in return.

The only things that surprise these two none of them aren't dead yet, usually when they are fighting someone their opponent will die immediately. Maybe this is a different case since they both are an ability user.

"What are you doing 444? KILL HIM!"

It was then Aomine smile drops.

"You are Kuro?"

Kuro stop his attack when Aomine mention that name, there is no way for someone else to know that name other than Kise and him. Unless . . .

"Aominecchi! Don't hurt Kurocchi!" Kise shouts.

"Kise?"

His master starts to get angrier to see his perfect puppet isn't listening to his orders at all, feeling angry he take out his gun and point toward the assassin. Before he can pull the trigger his gun suddenly fly away after being hit by an arrow.

"I suggest you give up and surrender Mr. Akki." The red hair warns him.

"Wh-who are you?" The man fall on his knees, he quickly lower his head forgetting about his pride as long his life is save. "Please spare me; I will give you as much money as you want in return."

"Money? I have no interest in that." The red hair, the leader of the group points his silver gun at the man head. "I'm more interest watching you die in front of me."

Then a loud voice echo in the room.

Kuro hands turn back into normal watching his master that he is supposed to protect just die in front of him, the true is he can save the man in time if he just turn his hand into a gun and kill him before he pulls the trigger but somehow his heart is telling him not to save that man. Now that man is dead what should he do now?

"Kurocchi!" Kise come and hug him.

When he feel the warmth that he miss for so long Kuro hug him back, he didn't say a word or let out any voice since all he wants now is for this moment to last.

"Is this your friend that you are talking about Ryota?" His leader asks once he has come down from the second floor.

"Yeah. This is him alright!" Kise answers. "Can he join us Akashicchi? PLEASE!"

"I don't see why not."

"Wait." The green hair guy said with alihd voice. "We barely know him so how should we trust him."

"Are you judging me Shintaro?" Akashi asks.

"B-but . . ." He startles.

"Its okay, Kurocchi is just being used this entire time by that man and he just follows that man order because he thinks that is his purpose in life. Kurocchi is not a bad guy at all." Kise said trying to protect his friends from them. "Also I will take full responsibility for all of this."

"I know you will take responsibility Ryota but does he even want to join us?" Akashi asks turning to look at the former assassin.

"As long I'm with Kise I will follow." Kuro answers.

"Then this problem is settle, you are now one of us."

"Welcome to the Sweepers Kurocchi!"

Kuro eyes twitch hearing that name, isn't sweepers who dedicates its life to catch criminal and later receive rewards for the catch? Doesn't all sweepers are homeless because they choose this kind of job?

Well he already agree to join so how bad can it be?
