If only fate weren't so cruel
Then maybe the sound of lullaby through the night
Could become gentler than the howling of beasts
Feasting on the darkness
That is human's heart…

After the incident before, the blonde becomes more wary of his surrounding, in case that psycho suddenly appears before him. He thanked the night for providing enough darkness so he could hid his identity from anything that may have endanger his life. His golden orbs flicker as he saw a familiar mismatched eyes approaching. Though for now he shall refrain from doing anything. The incident earlier had made him lose his interest to the elegant noble for the time being. The said noble's crimson red hair fluttering on each step as the cold night wind gently caress each strand of his hair. He stopped his advance right under the rooftop Kise's on.
"Yaa… Beautiful Mistress on the rooftop." The noble teased, Kise knew that he know.
"My prey for tonight isn't you, you can just ignore me." A short explanation that hasn't succeed in making the other budges from his position.
"Have you perhaps forgotten the things I said when we first met?" His eyes trail upwards, looking straight at a pair of shimmering topaz under the moonlight. The blonde narrowed his eyes, sign of disapproval.
"Well then, you remember that each time you failed, you shall work for me, right?"
"I never told you I would." True, as far as he remembers, he hasn't spoken any word that night.
"No answer means yes."
"I'm not interested."
"Daiki has another assignment today. I need a companion, A bodyguard to be more accurate…"
"Just get one on the street, there are many ronin who would do anything in exchange of fortune." The blonde answered nonchalantly, ignoring the red headed who's still continuing his sentence, his lips quirked, forming a well known smirk,
"I have a meeting with Sekigara Kamon." At the announcement of that name, the assassin's eyes widened considerably. That was… The name of his prey tonight. Considering the unknown odds of finding him on this street, it's definitely better if he goes with him and ensures he get the information out of him…
"What kind of business do you have with him?"
"You will know later, so, what say you?"
"…On one condition, I won't let go of my face cover and i will be observing from above." The blonde was reluctant to say that; the red headed noble just chuckled lightly, covering his lips with his index finger,
"Well… I'm sure we can do something about that."
.

Kise got bored of waiting, it's taking too much of his time, should he just leave him? But the beautiful blonde actually felt some deja-vu when he was with this man, it was as if they were... Friend? And this kind of feeling was very different when he was with that doppelganger of the noble in front of him.
All of sudden, Akashi has gotten surrounded by a bunch of scoundrels. My, what a famous noble.
"So... It has come to this afterall..." Akashi smirked. They rushed towards Akashi and was halted by kunais being thrown around Akashi, marking the assassin's territory. Kise jumped down and kneeled right beside him,
"Don't kill them, they are worthy for some information." Kise didn't answer but he had thought the same, their leader still hasn't showed up after all. One by one of those scoundrels falls down, defeated by Kise without any unnecessary movement. Akashi seemed to be enjoying the display of Kise's prowess when a loud voice breaks through his fun.
"What is this?! You couldn't even take care of one little kid?! You useless trash!"
A loud voice stopped the blonde's movement for a few seconds, he couldn't remember but he's sure he knew that voice... And he loathes it. His heart is beating hard, his mind clouded by unwanted memories as his eyes widened considerably and his breathing becomes erratic .
"Well if it isn't Sir Sekigara. Unfortunately i haven't been able to enjoy your welcome party... So i had them disposed of. You wouldn't mind, right?"
Akashi's voice snapped Kise out, at least a little bit. The redhead noted that the blonde didn't turn around to face his prey, he has been acting weird since this man showed up.
"Shut up, you little..."
"I'm very busy, i'll give you one chance... Where's the girls?" Akashi interrupted his sentence while opening with his wooden fan, his gesture was a warning. This man in front of him was someone of a well known noble family, despite of his well groomed appearance and handsome feature, he is more twisted than anyone. Sekigara Kamon was the mastermind of a large number of human trafficking, he then sold or use those people as prostitutes in his brothel and when they weren't able to draw customers anymore, they were abandoned like a trash or... Killed.
"Heh... They should be in the middle of the sea right now... Floating that is." Sekigara lets out a twisted and ugly smirk. Akashi return his smirk with a grin,
"Your plan is too easy to read, try harder next time... If there is any 'next time' for you."
"Sir! We've been found out, the ship has been seized by the magistrate!" Someone shouted from a distance, Sekigara widened his eyes, both shocked and angry, he turned his attention towards the noble in front of him. Everything worked according to his plan, Akashi came only to make sure that Sekigara turned his attention from the harbour towards him, so Aomine could raid the harbour in ease for any suspicious behavior and he was right, just as always.
"You... You bastard, Akashi!"
"You lose, Sekigara Kamon. From the beginning you didn't stand a chance against me."
"Damn you! What's wrong in disposing what can't be used anymore?! I was just disposing trash! They're useless!"
Kise widened his eyes, he's seeing flash of memories on his mind...
.
.
.
He was walking on an abandoned district, it smells of rotten food and flesh. It was very dirty, he feels sick just by standing there... There are many people trying to reach him, every one of them didn't have any sanity left inside them... The mix sound of people crying and pleading to him makes him dizzy...
"Master, master, please buy me."
"I don't want to live anymore, just kill me."
"I will make you feel amazing."
"Master"
"Sir"
"Please"
"Please"
"Please"
Who had made them to lose their mind like this? That's right, it was him... It was that man...
A soft yet cruel voice whispered to his mind,
"That's right... Kill him, Ryouta."
"Kill him."
"Kill."
"Kill."
"Kill."
The blonde felt his subconsciousness takes over as everything went black for him. His body moved on it's own as if being controlled by something. He lunged towards his prey... Akashi stopped his advance once again with his fan,
"Stop it, he isn't worthy to be killed."
"...Kill..."
The redhead narrowed his eyes, something is definitely wrong...
"I have to... Kill him."
The blonde attack him like a madman, it was definitely not the assassin he knew. Akashi moved swiftly and managed to hit Kise's acupuncture point behind his neck as the latter immediately falls down to the ground.
"Hah... haha, he's a creep." Sekigara blurted out of a panic attack, he actually fell down out of fear and almost piss his own pants. Akashi glared at him with degrading look which could make any person grovels in fear and this time it's no exception,
"Know your place."
Sekigara's whole body got swallowed up by fear, he remember those expression too well. He had witnessed the exact same expression once in the past. Magistrates started to gather around Akashi, hauling the perpetrator for his crime.
"Ha...Haha...hahahahaha, so it was you again who ruined my life. I will remember this!" A lost dog's last bark... Akashi knew, the one who ruined Sekigara's life before and who brainwashed Kise into a killing machine was someone he knew too well...
"Take him away… Contact Daiki and tell him to place this gentleman inside my carriage, he saved my life."
And the curtain for the show tonight has closed.
