Sicarius Noctis
by Otaku-Sage-of-Llamas
Prologue
- Intret Sicarius -
The night was still young. From his position on top of an apartment complex's roof, Raito Yagami saw the remnants of the sun painted across the night sky's in a breathtaking way. The cell phone in his pocket rang loudly amongst the quiet atmosphere.
His hand reached down and brought the red cell phone to his ear. "Yes?" he answered.
"Oh, Raito-kun," called a loud female voice through the speakers, "I got another client for you at the club. He's wealthy, too."
"Alright. I'm on my way," he ended the conversation by flipping the phone closed and placed it back into his pocket. From his other pocket, he pulled out a pair of leather gloves to match his attire. Ratio wore a pair of tight fitting leather pants with a gem studded belt and a vest made of the same material, which was open to expose his bare chest that showed a necklace with a dragon design. Raising his hand, he pushed the sunglasses that lay in his auburn hair onto the bridge of his nose.
"Time to move," Raito said to himself as he ran towards the emergency staircase and made his way to ground level where a red motorcycle awaited him. Positioning himself on the motorcycle, Raito headed towards The Moon Club, Misa's popular nightclub.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of the club where two built men stood on either side of the door. After getting off the motorcycle, Raito placed it next to one of the guards who slightly tilted his head to the side and said, "Misa-san is waiting for you in the back VIP room".
"Thanks, Mogi-san," Raito replied as he entered the nightclub. In the center of the large room was the dance floor with the DJ positioned near the back, where doors that led to the VIP and party rooms were. When occupied, there would be guards positioned at the doors of the VIP rooms for safety reasons. The bar sat on the right side while tables were spread out amongst the exterior of the dance floor. A secret stairway in the back led to bathrooms as well as Misa's office and the security office.
Raito, while he made his way to the client's room, paid no attention to many of the young adults that were dancing erratically, which he compared to that of someone's clothing on fire. There was no such art to be found in their pointless movements that they called dancing.
The guard nodded at him as he entered the VIP room, where his client awaited him. A fat man in a very professional attire of a businessman with a thick cigar in hand sat at the head of the table facing towards him. Two security guards he did not recognize were on either side of the man, presumably the client's. Misa, her blond hair shining under the lighting, stood at the side wearing one of her favorite gothic lolita outfits smiled at him.
"So this is Kira," the client spoke up, his tone mocking. "I never expected him to be so young," his voice was coarse as if his throat was made up of sand. Raito crossed his arms across his chest.
"Age doesn't make a difference. All that matters is that I get the job done."
"Yes. I have seen your record and also got a recommendation from Kida about your work. Frankly, I am impressed," he pushed his thick framed glasses back on top of the bridge of his nose.
"From the Yotsuba Group?" the man nodded in affirmation.
"So what's the job?" Raito asked, tired of the conversation already.
"To the point. I like that. Anyways, I want you to take down one of my rivals. He's the CEO of VanTex Corporation…otherwise known as L," he started but was cut off by the assassin.
"Do you realize how much work that would take? No one knows who L is so I would have to infiltrate the company and try to pry information from somebody. I'm an assassin, not an intelligence agent."
"That's why I am willing to pay you very generously to do this for me," the one guard placed a silver briefcase on the table.
To be continued…
Authoress' Notes:
Thank you for taking your precious time to read my fanfic!
I feel bad starting on another fanfic while pushing Ad Aeternitatem to the side. But honestly, I am having a hard time to motivate myself to work on it. So in the meantime, I will be working on this fic.
And as a note, the "client" is not OC. Take your guess now, his identity will be revealed in the next chapter. There will only be one OC in this fanfic which she plays a minor role later on.
Next chapter, the start of Raito's infiltration and he encounters some minor problems!
