Stained Butterfly

By Shattered Glass of Frost

Prologue

The body stirred as the sun slowly rose up into the sky, its rays reaching into the bedroom. A figure sat on the bay window looking coldly out into the beautiful sunset, yet not appreciating what the eyes saw. The body in the bed finally got up, showing its naked form. "You're up and early, aren't you, Kochou? I though you would at least stay in bed for a while and let me have some more." He walked a few steps closer when the figure turned swiftly and pierced him with her cold, azure eyes.

"Well, I'm sorry. You got what you wanted from me so you're not going to get anymore after afterglow. Morning is here and it's time for me to leave." The man's naked body did not intimidate Kochou at all. "You do understand the rules of our company, I believe?"

The man laughed. "Of course I do. I just don't understand. How could such an experienced company failed at such a little job? Killing someone with hardly any power should be easy."

Kochou could only smirk at the man's silliness. "You really don't understand our company. One of the first rules we proposed to you was that we do not kill people who are good and are not harmful to the society. We do research before we target anyone. Have you ever realized your proposal was not right under our rules? Besides, you got our payback for failing the mission, right? You, wanted me."

Laughing nervously, the man answered, "Well, yes. I…I suppose my proposal wasn't very, um…right in your eyes." He boldly walked towards the female and lifted his hand to graze her cheek. "Once just isn't enough for me."

Suddenly, a knife was held in front of his throat, scaring the words out of his mouth. "You have never stated what you wanted specifically. I gave what I thought was enough and you're not getting more. Try touching me and you'll have the whole Sennen after you."

The man slid down in shock and made some weird noises, which could be categorized as laughter of nervousness as he watched the female walked out of the room.

*****-----****-----****-----*****

"Ah, Kochou. Just the girl I wanted to see."

"You called me here. Obviously you wanted to see me. What is it?"

Bakura tisked. "Little Kochou, you can't be so cruel to me. After all, I'm the one who's giving you missions. In other words, I'm the one who's boss here. You have to stop being so cold."

Kochou stuck her nose up in the air. "You try being cheerful after being a little present from the company to a man that is just perverted and totally disgusting."

"I take that you didn't sleep at all?"

"You try sleeping with that man making all that noise."

Bakura gave her a pity look. "It can't be helped if you're the one men want most. You have no idea how popular you are. Everyone wants you as their presents and wants you to do their jobs for them as well. Guess you have fans in both categories." Turning in his chair, he turned to face the window of his office.

"I prefer fans in the missions section."

"Before giving you the current mission though, have you heard? FBI is on to us, eh?"

Kochou raised her eyebrow. "FBI? All the way from America? Interested in us?"

Bakura smiled. "Apparently."

"You're the only I know that can smile through this kind of situation."

"We've got them off our backs before and we will again."

The female placed a smirk on her face. "And what do you plan to do? Seduce the leading officer?"

The man shook his head and turned back towards the woman. "Am I that kind of person to you? Obviously not. You don't have to worry about it. I'll send a few of the others to the job. You'll be contacted when extra help is needed. You just need to focus on this assignment."

"And it is?"

Handing her a file, Bakura asked, "Ever heard of Kaiba Corporation?"

"Of course. This company practically has Japan in its hands. With its participation in nearly everything from technology to stocks, it's the richest corporation in the country and has quite some power in the government as well." Kochou flipped through the file, holding more detailed information about the company.

Bakura replied, "Sennen has been offered a job, to help rearrange Japan due to ways Kaiba Corporation has been known to treat its workers and partners."

Kochou looked a bit surprise. "You mean, Kaiba corp. hasn't been up to any good all these years?"

"What are you to expect from a twenty-five year old CEO who has a terrible temper and attitude?"

Smirking, Kochou asked, "And, you, the leader of Sennen being twenty-eight years old is any better?" She paused to gather her thoughts. "I suppose you are better considering the way you treat your workers and customers. I haven't heard anything about Kaiba Corp. though. Not much at least."

Bakura pointed at the folder in her hands. "Read it. Since the corporation have a great deal amount of power, if there was anything negative about the corporation such as a complaint of workers or business partners, it'll be placed in pages no one will notice. There were quite a few articles about Kaiba Corp. and how it treats its employees and business partners. There are rumours around that Kaiba Corp. was involved a few of recent killings of mafia leaders. There's no proof and the police isn't releasing any evidence on that."

Scanning through one of the articles, Kochou observed. "The CEO must earn a lot each year with the little amount he pays the workers. I feel so sorry for the workers. I don't give a damn about the business partners though. Who knows what the hell they're wanting from Kaiba Corp. anyways?"

"Are you finally showing some sympathy for the world?" Bakura laugh at the thought.

"Look, being quiet about I feel does not mean I am cold all the time and have no pity and sympathy for others."

The man smiled. "I know you well. I suppose raising you for ten years did help me in understanding you much more than others do. I really wished you would call me father...or least brother. I'm your family right?"

A slight smile finally appeared on Kochou. "You're too young to be my father. At this rate, you should have had me when you were six years old. I'm already twenty-two! Not calling you brother doesn't mean that I don't care, okay? Bakura, my family, just tell me mission won't you?"

"Very well. This time, Sennen has been given the mission of…killing Seto Kaiba, the CEO of Kaiba Corporation."
