Chapter 11

Akihiro and Roberta entered the main building of Hotel Moscow's main lobby. The place wasn't like most hideout in this city. The place looked well neat as the walls were a bright scarlet red with a yellow Hammer and Sickle plastered on the right side of the wall with a chandelier hanging in the center of the room. Both of them didn't let their guard down as no one was in sight of them.

"Careful, it could be a trap." Roberta said as she clicked her Colt.

"No shit, this woman is not as naive as the Cartels, we are dealing with a ex spanize who was in the Afghan wars." Akihiro stepping carefully til he noticed a camera in the corner, shooting it.

As the walked towards the hallways they were met up with a barrage of gun fire at the end. Both Roberta and Akihiro took cover behind some pillars as the fired back.

"Like I said before, these guys don't know when to call it quits." Akihiro shooting down two russians. while reloading.

"So what do you think we should do, go another way?" Roberta killing three of them while reloading.

"Nah, that's what they want us to do, wait til they reload then cover me." He said lifting his shades a bit. Once the bullets shortened by the line of fire. Akihiro ran with lightening speed and drawing out his katana. Without warning he charged right into the group of russians and hack and slashed them as blood started to cover the walls and floors of the halls. As the last russian lay down dead before his feet, Akihiro wiped the blood of his sword and sheathed it back. He checked his shogun as he noticed he only has one magazine left. "Hey Roberta, got any magazines I can borrow?"

"I only have the two that are in my colts so no." She said looking over her own weapons. " Is there anything from them?"

"No, just AK's." He said looking at the sliced up guns. "No use, we have to keep going." He said carefully walking down the halls with gun in hand. 'Careful not to run into anymore soldiers. 'So far so good.' Checking out the area as he saw no russians with in sight to his surprise, there were not that many guards around. He and Roberta were able to kill most of them by sneaking behind them or catching them by surprise.

Roberta halted him as they got close to another hall on the corner. "I don't like this, it feels too easy for some reason."

"Now that you mention it, it does feel too easy for some reason." Akihiro getting close to the corner and taking a peek. As he slowly stook his his face out a single shot was fired at him as he recoiled.

"This is as far as you go." Boris said gripping his Tokarev TT-33. "Nothing personal but I won't allow you to reach the kapitan."

"I don't blame you old man, protecting your boss is a big priority." Akihiro said. "But she shouldn't have killed members of my clan. So no hard feelings." Firing two shoots.

"Indeed." Boris agreed. "It would be nice to get to know you better, but I can't let you two live."

"Akihiro, once I start shooting, get past him and take out Balalaika." Roberta said behind him.

"Alright. But first, got any grenades?"

"Just two." Holding them out to him.

"One will do." He said taking one from her and pecking her on the lips. "Wish me luck." Winking and walking to the corridor on the corner as unpinned the grande and throw it. "Now Roberta!" As the grenades blew up a few inches from Boris, but was able to avoid the explosion and the shrapnels as smoke emerged. A couple of gun shoots were fired as Boris envided the shoots and Akihiro came out from the smoke and jumped above the large russian man and behind him. "Wish I could join you but I got a meeting with your 'Kapitan.'" He laughed as he ran farther away from him.

"Stop you brat." Boris commanded as he fired a few rounds miss him and received gunshots from behind him.

"If you want to go to him, you have to kill me first." Roberta said with death glare and a wicked grin. Pointing her Colts at him.

"Out of all the people I would hate to shoot at, your one of them that I don't want to." Boris sighed as he points his gun at her and began to fire.

Roberta dodge the bullet just hitting a strand of her hair, she starts to fire her rounds as well. Which the large russian man went on the defensive and envied the shoots "Not too bad for a big guy."

"I should say the same for you." Boris commented. "Your skills as a solider is out there, I'm surprised you haven't been named a high ranking officer."

"Thank you but I was never cut out to be a leader and they never trust me."

"That's a real shame, but that's enough talking." He said firing his shot as she did hers.

Roberta counted the bullets she had fired along the way. 'Dammit, I only have four shots left. I have to make them count or else I'm really dead.' She thought to herself as she went behind a pillar.

"I'm not a rocket scientist but I would say that your running out of bullet. Give up now and I'll let you live." Boris said to her.

"How do I know your not lying!" Roberta yelled behind the pillar. 'Then again this could be my chance.' "Fine, I give up." She said coming out with her hands held up."

"First, drop your weapons." Boris demanded calmly. "Bring them down, slowly."

"Cleaver, ok, I'm drop them really slow." She said taking her Colts into her hands and putting them on the floor and raising up real slow.

"Kick them over here." Boris ordered as she kicked her guns towards him. "Now leave."

"Hold on, my belt came loss." She said with her head looking down.

Boris took a slight glance not knowing if she was telling the truth or not. Turns out her belt was undone. "Alright fix it. But no funny stuff." Still aiming his Tokarev right in front of her.

"Alright nice and slow." Roberta taking hands on her belt as the buckle was in her right hand and the strap in her left as she adjusted it.

"There it's fixed now-" Boris was cut off as the buckle had a small gun inside of it shooting off three times as all three shoots hit him in the stomach. He tried to shoot but was only able to get her in the arm as she kicked him across the stomach were he was shot as he fell face down on the floor. "Fuck...you."

Roberta approached him as she stepped on his gun hand,and picked up her Colts as she shoot one bullet in his back. "Never should have let your guard down." Shooting him in the head, as he body now lay lifeless. She took his Tokarev and unloaded the clip as she checked the rest of his body for more magazines. Once she found three of them. and clipped it to her guns.

Akihiro ran as fast as possible not looking back down the hall with the battle between Roberta and Boris. "Yukio, Ginji, Bando, Yoshida, everyone, whether I succeed or not I leave my mark in this hellhole of a city. People will soon say that I, Akihiro Matsuzaki, The Wolf of Kyoto, took on Hotel Moscow. And I can hear the men saying..." As he went thought the last door. "...Thank you lieutenant."

At the entered, Balalaika seat on her desk with her military coat over her shoulders and her Stechkin APS in her right hand and a lit cigar between her lips. "You shouldn't be thankful just yet kid, The war is still not over."

"I'm very aware of that." Akihiro said as he took off his shades and put them in his coat. "It's high time we finished this once and for all."

Without even saying a word, the both of them drew their guns at each other very quickly and fired only hitting the walls that was close to them. "Nice shot." Akihiro said coldly.

"Same goes for you, волк." Balalaika slightly smirked while smoking her cigar. "By the looks of it, I assume you don't have many bullets in that gun you are carrying. since you took on a lot of my men as well as FARC soldiers."

"Your right, I only have one bullet in my gun. But that's all I need." Akihiro said calmly.

"You shouldn't be jumping conclusions when your about to die." Balalaika stood up and aimed her Stechkin APS and took a single shoot at him, but he was able to avoid the bullet in time as he drew his sword. "I won't let you!" Balalaika shooting two more shoot as it one shot was able to scrap his right cheek as Akihiro came close to her as she blocked the attack with her own gun.

Speaks sizzled as Akihiro's katana and Balalaika's Stehekin clashed. "I have to admit, you weapon is pretty strong and your skills as a captain are great. However..." As he used a lot more force and slowly cut thought the gun.

Quickly Balalaika kicked him in the chest sending him back a few meters as the blade was no longer connected to the gun. "Damn little shit!" She yelled as she fired but to her bad luck the gun jammed as the bullet was stuck to the opening of where the katana sliced it. ' Shit.' As she drop the gun to revile she had a another one staced in with her as she pointed the gun.

BANG

As a bullet shell it the ground as Balalaika's Stehekin and Akihiro's S&W 500 Magnum both blow smoke out of them. Akihiro dropped to his knee as he was clenching his side as blood was leaking out from. Balalaika smirk in victory but her cough up a lot of blood and fell to the ground with her head leaning at her desk. 'How did he?' she eyed herself as she noticed the big hole in her chest, close tp her left breast.

"Look like you got the short end of the stick." Akihiro laughed as he slowly stood up and puts pressure on his wound. "A shot to the lungs is probably on of the worst ways to go. Difficulty breathing as blood enters your lungs and the worst part a hole that big can't be tested."

"Fuck...you..." Balaika coughed as the blood came out of her mouth. "...Though I have to admit...you would have made a... great ally."

"I could have said the same for you, but you killed my closest thing to family." Akihiro walks towards her with his sword still in his hand. "Any last request before I end this."

"None, just get on with it." Balalaika said ready for the wolf to sink his fangs into her. With a quick strike he stabbed her into the heart as the infamous russian capitan dropped dead with a pool of blood surrounding her.

With that done, Akihiro wiped the blood off his katana, sheath it and clenched his wound was he make for the door. As he was walking he saw Roberta in the hallway with a dead Boris next to her feet. "Akihiro, what happened we have to get you to a doctor." She said running to him as he collapsed in her arms. "You did very well, now let's escape the land of the dead together." Carrying him over his shoulder as they finished the war.
