Chapter 1
The rain pours down as a dark haired boy wearing a brown leather jacket rushes up the fire escape of a tall building, chasing a blond haired, blue- eyed man who is running for his life. The one leading is the boss of a large drug ring that started in America and leapt the ocean to Japan a year ago. The one chasing is known as Hidaka Ken, a member of the assassin group called Weiss. His teammates are inside the building dispensing of the under bosses of the ring.
Ken caught up to the target and sprung his blades from the bugnuck glove, struck out in a slash towards the man who spun and ducked just in time. With Ken a bit off balance, the man simply nudged him with a punch to his guts. Ken staggered back a step then rushed after him again as the man hurried up the steps towards the roof. The man glanced back at him, "You should run, boy. The bombs will go off soon."
Ken gave chase and swore, raised a hand to his ear to push the talk button in the device there, "Guys, get the hell out of there! Bombs are set and ready to blow. I've got the main target, be out in a minute." He lowered his hand to the railing and spun to go up the next flight of steps as the blond man swore, not knowing until now that the assassins could talk to each other.
"On my way!" Yohji flicked his other hand and the wire zipped back into his watch, letting a dead body fall to the floor. He ran a hand through his tousled hair and fixed his sunglasses as he listened to the red head of the team grunt in agreement beside him. Aya's foot rose to push another body off of the blade of his katana then nodded to Yohji. Both rushed towards the exit.
Up in a tree beside the building, a sandy haired boy shot a crossbow bolt into a window and made sure the man inside fell to the floor before answering, "Hurry, guys! Ken, meet us at the rendezvous point quickly. We'll wait for you." He started climbing back down the tree to meet the others in the front.
Ken stepped up onto the roof and ducked as he looked around for the man who had disappeared. He slipped behind a small cement room and peeked around the corner then looked up at the roof of it. He went around the corner and found the man on the other side with a gun pointed towards the ladder he had just come up. Quickly, Ken spun around the corner and with a yell, kicked the gun out of the other's hand, then punched his un-bladed hand towards the man's jaw. The blond stumbled back with a grunt of pain before switching directions and bull rushing the darker haired boy. Ken smirked and ducked, giving him an uppercut with bugnuck blades out, straight into his stomach. The blonds wide blue eyes stared down into the sea colored eyes of the one who killed him for a moment of surprise, then closed as his body slumped.
Ken gritted his teeth as the man's weight suddenly crashed down on him and fell back onto the roof before shoving the body off of him. He sat up and brushed himself off before turning to make sure the man was really dead. His own eyes widened in surprise as an explosion rocked the building, destroying a corner of the first floor and buckling the building inwards.
He raced towards the side of the building and gauged the distance to the roof of the garage nearby, backed up and dashed towards it. But another explosion, this time much closer, knocked the boy off balance and he stumbled, fell over the side and caught himself with one hand on the side of the rain gutter. It broke and swung downwards just as one more bomb exploded inside the building. His hand slipped and both hands reached for the gutter frantically as his wide eyes watched the building float away from him mysteriously. He looked over his shoulder as he fell and had just enough time to turn to reduce the amount of pain he'd take when he hit.
The roof of a large truck caught him instead of the pavement with a sound of cracking bone. The only sounds to be heard as the boy lay unconscious in the dent he'd made was the building burning and crumbling. Not long after, a voice crackled in the earpiece he wore, "Ken, where the hell are you?? Don't make me come out there and get your ass.. Ken? . Ken, come on! Answer me!"
