Three days had passed since the two mercenaries had been in Sei-An City. No guy had appeared. Actually. No one had appeared yet.

" 'Ow long eez theez goeeng to take?" Christophe asked lighting his new cigarette.

" Soon. They said it might take the full week."

Then as he held the smoke in his lungs, someone knocked on the door. Gregory had to go to the back room.

"Tell them your name is Rao," He said shutting the door and listening.

A little girl came in. She had black hair and was no older than 7. HE looked at her as she walked up to him.

" H-Hi. I'm Sakuya."

" Rao" He said casually. Why would a 7 year old come to see a priestess? Strange. HE kept his guard up.

" Is the Queen Himiko's praying helping the city with its problem. My mummy is really sick and needs help but…. No doctors are around to help. And my daddy's precious glass watch is missing." Pleaded the raven-haired girl as she wiped her eyes and coughed a bit. Gregory knew not to trust anyone, so he was half way buying this. Christophe could care less but kept up the act.

"Umm… Eem not sure. I must contact 'er soon." He replied as he fixed the top half of his shirt.

There was a queen. People dying. What was causing this? It was unlike anything the group had seen before.

"Will you please hurry? I'm sorry to sound pushy but your doomed. The mist will only get worse if you wait any longer"

"What do you mean? I'm frightened" He lied and asked.

Doomed? Something's not right. A little girl shouldn't know this much. Then her voice started to sound deeper.

"And the best part is… You can't stop us." His eyes widen as he ripped the side of his costume and held a gun to her head. She just laughed and faded away.

"Vat the 'ell vas zat?" He asked a little concerned. The front door burst open. There he was. The man they looked for. And these boys know him. Mostly Christophe. Gregory had only a brief speaking with him. Takamoto. He looked and saw both boys back-to-back and laughed.

" . I see you changed your look." He laughed out. The brunette felt embarrassed and slipped it off. Revealing his Camo pants boots and no shirt.

"Takamoto. I zee we meet again."

"Christophe, who is that?" The blonde asked. He knew his face but couldn't remember well.
"He kidnapped moi zhe last teme. He vas pazzing off forged relics from zhe Azusa period. Nozing of the usual."

The man chuckled. "That's right. And now I must finish my dirty work. Something I should have done a long time ago."

"Meybe you should beg for your life like zee last teme we spoke."

His men came in hearing the ruckus going on and held big guard dogs. Pit bulls by the looks of them. The brunette paniced and grabbed a chair to duck behind. Gregory sighed.

"And here we go." He shook his head and got back to work.

" Where's the sword Takamoto?!"

"Hahaha….. I don't know what your talking about"

" Yes you do. The one that belonged to us. Or it did until you stole it."

" I'm no thief. Your side might be but I have never stolen a thing"

" Just name a price. Im willing to pay"

" . Are you deaf?!"

"I heard you loud and clear. So no, I'm not."

This only made the man angry. He pointed to the boys and shouted.

"Kill them. Kill them now!" He told his men as they shot. He pushed the brunette behind the desk.

Handing him his shovel and gun, they jumped up and shot back at the Japanese men. Chris got shot In the arm and stayed on top of the desk, afraid to go near a dog. Gregory in his leg twice. Once Takamoto split without the mercenaries knowing it, The dogs were attacking Gregory. There were about 6 and he couldn't do it alone.

"Christophe!"

He just stared in complete shock. He could either face his fears and help his boyfriend, or be a coward and stay on top of the desk.

He thought for a split second and jumped in front of the Brit. Dogs biting at his flesh. Himself screaming at the pain.

"Gregoree. GO! E'll catch up!"

"No I'm not le-"

"Go!" HE screamed as he pushed him towards the door. Dogs focused on his bleeding body.
