Later that evening, Koyuki made herself a little snack in the hideout's large kitchen. She looked down at the rice balls she made and sighed. Not because they didn't look nice. She sighed because she still debated about looking for that frog. Koyuki zoned out again until Mukuro's voice snapped her out of it.
"Koyuki. What are you up to?"
"Huh?.. Nothing. Just making a little snack." Koyuki smiled and wrapped the food in a plastic wrapper.
"Well tonight we have a solo mission for you. Just steal the item and run. Make sure you kill any witnesses.."
Mukuro said straight up, with an icy gleam in her eyes to which Koyuki was used to.
Koyuki sighed and nodded. "Alright. It will get done." She turned around.
"Good. Report to Shigure when you finished." Mukuro pat Koyuki on the back and left. Koyuki looked down at her hands, remembering the last time a few witnesses was killed by her. Not from that petty truck heist, more like from a turf massacre she barely escaped.. She shook the thought of her hands being coated in blood away. She put away her snack and left to start her job.
She was later standing on Tokyo tower, scanning the city to see where her mission was being held. Once she saw a familiar building that fit the description, she went towards it. Koyuki snuck inside the warehouse and looked for the item she was sought to steal. She went through the warehouse's window and stayed up on the beams by the ceiling. She cringed at the smell inside the building, thankfully it was just the animals that she saw being smuggled away. She would've done something about it, but for now, she has to focus on the mission. She had to steal something that these people were using. Koyuki moved closer to the workers, who were treating the animals badly. She saw an electric collar these people were using on the animals. She analyzed the workers as they grabbed a controller from a table. They turned the controller and the collar on. As soon as they did so, the dog that wore the collar fell unconscious. With a few flicks of the joystick on the controller, the dog got up and growled. Wherever the worker moved the joystick, the dog will go to that desired location. Then they put down a dummy with flicks of the joystick and button pressing, the dog tackled the dummy and tore it apart.
The men laughed in amusement and continued to play around with the device around the dog's neck. Koyuki hated watching all of this and growled under her gas mask. She proceeded with the mission and grabbed a mini dart gun and shot two poison darts at the men's neck, the poison slowly killing them. Koyuki looked around for any other people and went to grab the controller the men were using. She looked at the dog and turned the collar off with the controller. The collar snapped off and the dog collapsed, unconscious. She walked up to and knelt down to the dog and hesitated to pet it. As Koyuki finally brought herself to do so, she sighed and pet it's fuzzy mane. She looked over and grabbed the collar and hooked it to her belt loop. The dog opened its eyes and whined at Koyuki. She shushed the animal and attempted to pick him up. She removed her mask to talk to it. "Are you ok?.."
The dog replied with a lick on her cheek. Koyuki giggled a bit and put her mask back on. "Don't worry.. I'll get you out of here."
She carried the dog over her shoulder and left the warehouse.
Koyuki later returned a few blocks away from the hideout and dropped the dog off in an enclosed alley way under a shed. "Sorry boy.. I'd take you in with me, but this is the only shelter I can provide you for now.."
Koyuki apologized but the dog pressed his nose against hers, saying it was alright. Koyuki smiled and pet the black and white dog one last time before leaving.
"Stay safe, boy.." Koyuki then returned to the base and turned in the item to Shigure.
"Thank you Koyuki. Here's your pay. Note that some of it was cut because of the people you killed along the way.."
"Ah.. Yes sir." Koyuki nodded and left. Suddenly she remembered her plan for tonight and hurried to the roof.
She sat down, removing her ninja attire to air out. She sighed and looked at the sky, staring at the stars that barely shined. Koyuki looked at her bag next to her and grabbed a rice ball to snack on. She stopped half way through her little meal and looked behind her, swearing she heard something. Little does she know, Subject D66 was hiding from her. Too shy to encounter her. Koyuki felt his weird aura and hid behind a transformer on the roof. D66 was hiding on the opposite side of the transformer and stood up to where Koyuki can see him from below. Koyuki gasped and quickly tackled him, firmly placing her knee on his collar bone.
D66 gasped and held onto Koyuki's leg. He panted frantically, but later calmed down as he looked at up at his attacker. Koyuki growled and extended a hidden blade from her gauntlet, preparing to attack.
"Who are you?..." She asked coldly. D66 blinked and tried to slide Koyuki's knee away.
"I am... Subject D66... May you move your knee off of my throat?..." He said politely and Koyuki listened to him and calmed down, yet kept her guard up. She moved her leg and D66 sat up. Koyuki retracted her hidden blade and examined him.
"What are you?.." She knelt down and looked at his eyes. D66 looked at her and nodded.
"I don't quite know either.." He rubbed his neck and stood up.
"What do you want? Why are you here?" Koyuki asked, wanting to know what D66 was doing out here. He looked at the faint stars at the sky and pointed at them.
"What are these tiny lights?" He flexed his fingers as he thought he could grab them. Koyuki raised an eyebrow and looked up at the darkening sky.
"Stars?..." She glanced back at D66, now figuring out he wasn't an extraterrestrial alien. D66 nodded and took a deep breath.
"Stars.." He breathed out in a sigh. The word sounded so relaxing to him, and he loved it. D66 turned to eye Koyuki.
"Honestly.. I'm not allowed to be outside for a matter of time, but I figured sneaking out wouldn't be a problem." He chuckled to himself and sat down. Koyuki sat down next to him and looked at him.
"Hm.. D? Can I call you that?" She asked him. D66 nodded and looked at her.
"Of course you can." He closed his eyes as if he was smiling behind his gas mask.
"Well, D? Do you know why you're here?.. And is someone monitoring you?" Koyuki asked him.
D66 opened his eyes and looked down.
"I'm not really sure why I'm here... And no, no one is here to watch me. I sneaked out. I guess I saw you and you looked like the type I could talk to freely, without me being scolded.." He sighed and crossed his arms. Koyuki looked at his body and noticed some jet black scars, strangely shining and blending with his damp skin.
"It just feels nice to go outside instead of being cooped up.." D66 closed his eyes again to relax.
"I see.." Koyuki sighed and looked down.
"I hope to see you again. I'll be leaving right now." D66 said as he stood up.
"Goodbye.. Koyuki." He then disappeared into thin black smoke again, leaving Koyuki alone.
