Chapter 10 – Assassination
To look upon the act of killing with complete indifference is to reach a point at which there are no more barriers left to cross. The Psychology of an Assassin
Falling Apart
I slipped away further from you
trying to find what is real,
You're somebody else that I never knew,
and someone that I can't feel.
"You, you love her?" Téa questioned surprised.
Yugi nodded his eyes suddenly very fascinated with the back of his hands not wanting to look at Téa.
"Yugi, if you love her... THEN WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?!" Téa exclaimed.
"I, I can't." Yugi stuttered.
"Why not?" Téa asked.
"How can I love someone who kills people?"
Mai, the Night Before
I shut it away I keep it in me.
Is this what it takes...?
To keep me alive?
So you take me
And you break me,
And you see I'm falling apart.
Complicate me
And forsake me,
You push me out so far;
There's no more feeling.
Mai leapt out of the plane that flew over the Ishtar manor she made a silent ten count before pulling the rip cord the parachute unfurling above her Mai gently floated down towards the balcony, as she hovered only metres above it she cut the parachute loose dropping silently down to the balcony.
Mai pulled her silenced Baller from its holster on her back quickly and quietly moving towards the open balcony door,
Slipping inside Mai saw Malik's sister sleeping in her bed, Mai moved over to her,
She was an attractive woman with black hair, the tint of her skin indicated she was from somewhere in the Middle East, Mai's information was that she was the director of the Domino Museum and absolutely no part of Malik's organization, but she has to die anyway.
Mai levelled the gun at the woman whom the information told name was Ishizu, Mai was ready to pull the trigger, when she thought of how Yugi would feel, she was doing this for him, but there was no justice in killing someone that had done nothing wrong.
Mai lowered her gun and made her way to the main door of the room incapacitating the two men that stood guard outside the door.
Mai made her way down the corridor Serenity waiting in the emergency stairwell disabled the Security as Mai went re-activating certain systems once Mai was passed.
Mai crouched down against a wall she leaned out slightly Mai counted ten guards at the end of the corridor she realized she must be close, Mai closed her eyes and prepared to strike.
Yugi
I slipped away
Closer to me
The only thing that is real.
I'm falling behind
And now I can see
Your absence helps me heal.
"What do you mean Yugi?" Téa questioned.
"Mai is an assassin she kills people as a means of making money, I believe killing is wrong so how can I have a relationship with a woman that kills people?" Yugi questioned more to himself than to Téa.
"Do you love Mai Yugi?" Téa asked.
"Very deeply." Yugi answered.
"Then everything else is irrelevant."
Mai
I shoved you away
I keep you for me.
Is this what it takes...?
To keep me alive?
So you take me
And you break me,
And you see I'm falling apart.
Complicate me
And forsake me,
You push me out so far;
There's no more feeling.
Mai leapt out of her position firing off several rounds in the direction of the guards she hit one in the stomach and another between the eyes,
Mai leapt onto the chest of another guard using him as a spring board over a metal support above holding on to his necktie as she ascended over the top of the support beam,
Mai hung in mid air still holding onto the guards necktie with one hand as she shot at the other guards she took three more down with shots to the head, a forth rushed her she grabbed his head with her feet snapping his neck as he came through, when Mai heard the guard she was holding onto neck snap she released her grip on his necktie dropping to the floor,
Mai ran at the next guard discharging even more bullets into the guards taking out another two guards, Mai walked up the body of the last guard grabbing his head with her feet throwing her body out to the side snapping the mans neck and turning his head an almost 180 degrees on his head,
'Marik should really invest in better security.' Mai thought reloading her gun.
Mai kicked in the door of Marik's room to find it empty a second door was left open on the other side of the room Mai surmised they were heading Serenity's way,
Yugi
Spread, Spread out.
Spread, Spread out.
So you take me
And you break me,
And you see I'm falling apart.
Complicate me
And forsake me,
You push me out so far. (So far)
And you take me
And you break me,
And you see I'm falling apart.
Yugi sighed smiling,
"You're right Téa that's all that should matter." Yugi said still smiling.
"Good, so now what?" Téa asked.
"I'm going to find Mai," Yugi announced.
Yugi rose from his seat and made his way to the door but returned a moment later,
"Ah, I don't know how to reach Mai." Yugi said sweat dropping.
Téa almost fell out of her seat as Yugi sat back down,
Téa sighed at the look of defeat on Yugi's face,
"Here." Téa said sliding a piece of paper over to Yugi.
"What's this?" Yugi questioned.
"Serenity and I bumped into each other a few days ago at the mall she gave me number to call her on if I ever wanted to go clubbing with her, she said that they weren't going to kill you now Yugi, they were going to kill the man who hired them." Téa explained.
"More killing." Yugi muttered with a downcast look on his face.
"I've got to go Yugi I've got dance practice in an hour, I hope you make the right decision." Téa said squeezing Yugi's shoulder supportively as she went up stairs.
Serenity
There's no more feeling.
There's no more feeling.
There's no more feeling.
Falling Apart – TRUSTcompany, The Lonely Position of Neutral
Serenity waited in the emergency stairwell her attention was piqued by a loud bang of a door opening, people scrambled down the stairs, Serenity waited for her moment.
She found it when they came into view a large bald man of Egyptian decent came round the corner with a platinum blonde boy that was the target, and murderer of her brother Joey.
Serenity discharged her gun taking the tall bald Egyptian out with a bullet in the head Marik drew a gun; Serenity quickly kicked the gun out of his hand Marik began to back peddle,
"Hold on don't kill me, I, I can offer you money." Marik offered desperately.
"No amount of money could convince me not to kill you." Serenity growled.
"I'm rich I can offer you anything you want." Marik offered again.
"The only thing I want from you is revenge." Serenity spat.
"I don't understand." Marik said trying to bid his time.
"My name is Serenity Wheeler you killed my brother Joey," Serenity spat angrily.
"Then there is something I can offer you." Marik said smirking.
"You can't offer me anything." Serenity spat.
"I can offer you information." Marik said smirking.
"What kind of information?" Serenity asked not lowering her gun.
"Did you ever wonder why I killed your brother?" Marik asked.
"Because you're a lunatic who enjoys killing people." Serenity suggested.
"I was hired by someone to kill your brother foolish girl." Marik spat.
"What, Who?" Serenity asked shocked.
"That's something you'll NEVER KNOW!?" Marik yelled pulling a gun from another holster on his leg.
Serenity was too quick for him putting a bullet in his head before he had time to raise the gun...
"Do you believe him Mai?" Serenity asked dropping her arm to her side.
"That's something we'll have to revisit Serenity." Mai answered walking down the stairs to stand beside Serenity.
"Let's go." Serenity said quietly as they left.
Yugi
Yugi sat quietly in the dining room of the Motou household, Yugi was dressed in a tuxedo it was the night of the dance.
In front of him sat a cordless phone and a piece of paper, Yugi was debating what to do, when he came to a decision,
"Serenity, its Yugi, Is Mai there?"
