War Ch. 2-Knives and Shadows.
Ikebukuro, 8:56 P.M.
"Told you I would get us here." Felix said proudly, earning more unnerved, annoyed looks from his two companions.
"Yeah. After we had to bail your ass out of jail for carrying a sword into an airport…" Tom groaned, looking with disgust at the sword strapped to Felix's waist.
"Oh, shut up. I need to…" the boy started to shout back, when he saw someone familiar in a gray hoodie. "Masaomi! What's up?" he yells out to the other boy, grabbing Alex's hand and running over, Tom following close behind.
Russia Sushi, 9:17 P.M.
"So, who exactly are your friends, Fel's?" Masaomi asks as Simon prepares a few plates of sushi for them.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Masaomi, this is my brother Alex and his friend Tom Harris. Guys, this is my old friend, Masaomi Kida." Felix said, introducing everyone. "So, what's been going on while I've been gone?"
"Well…" the blonde kid starts to explain, whittling away an hour or so eating sushi and telling an engrossing story about Ikebukuro, earning laughs from Tom and Alex for his sound fx's and physical depictions.
"So, the Dollars are acting up, eh? Joy…" Felix sighed, standing up in a huff. "I have somewhere I have to be immediately…"
"What are we supposed to do?" Alex asked his brother with concern, never having seen him this depressed.
"Masaomi know where my house is. Guide them their and I'll pay you tomorrow, bye." Felix groaned, rushing out the door and disappearing into a back alley.
Somewhere near Celty and Shinra's apartment, 10:45 P.M.
Walking slow and measured steps, Felix stopped suddenly and tensed. "I know you've been following me since I left Russia Sushi. Now, show yourself!" he yelled into the night, a nearby trash can crushed as his pursuer dropped from the roof, carrying a menacing looking sword.
"Well, so it seems Kida was right; a Slasher has entered Ikebukuro….I'm gone for a short time, and everything goes to hell…lets correct this immediately." Felix sighed, dropping the sheathe to his sword as he moved with blinding speed, his slice barely blocked by the attackers katana. "You're good. But I'm better." He said to the enemy, launching a barrage of attacks at the now foaming-at-the-mouth attacker.
Grunting like an annoyed beast, the Slasher jumped away, climbing like a demented baboon on a fire escape and jumping away on the rooftop. Picking up the dropped sheathe and placing his sword inside, Felix looked at the mysterious being running away and walked off himself, thinking that things were about to get very very destructive in a very short time.
Lt. Goresby here! Wow…glad I let Felix keep that sword. He would've been mincemeat without it! And don't worry, the Slasher in this instance wasn't Anri, just one of Saika's 'daughter' blades. Well, goodbye for now. Till next we meet!
