Chapter eighteen:
Kaoru starts with the type of gun he usually uses.
The mentor seems to agree with starting there. "Okay. Make sure your target is there. Since your usual gun doesn't have a scope you can use binoculars if you need to."
Kaoru looks down and spots what looks to be his target. "I see the target." He confirms to the mentor.
"Take aim. This is harder without a scope though you may try. Guns with scopes are harder to hide as they're usually bigger." The mentor instructs in which Kaoru takes aim like he's supposed to.
Kaoru can see what the mentor means when he says that it is indeed harder to aim like this. He takes a shot after he believes he has lined it up just right. He glances to the mentor who is checking with binoculars to see if that was a hit. "Not bad." He slightly hums at what he sees. "A hit though not a kill shot. Still a decent shot without a scope though. You have some decent skills with that gun of yours."
"I have been using it for awhile. It's probably experience." Kaoru admits.
"Let us try one more time." The mentor instructs so Kaoru takes aim once more.
Kaoru focuses on the target once more. He feels like this shot it going to be a good one. He pulls the trigger firing the weapon once more. He lowers the gun once the bullet has been fired. He glances to the mentor once more.
"Another good shot." The mentor puts down the binoculars then turns to Kaoru. "Now let us move on to some of the guns with scopes."
Hikaru is pacing while waiting for his brother and he has made sure that the curtains in the living room are closed. He is very nervous about it all. He pauses and takes a breath reminding himself to calm down. He knows that Kaoru has been gone a long time though the other has this. "He can do this." He whispers to himself. "He's strong. He's dealt with this all alone before. He can handle this task." He sits down on the couch only to leap to his feet when the front door is opened.
"Welcome home young master." The maids greet in which Hikaru runs over to see his brother.
"Kaoru! You're back!" Hikaru hugs his brother happy that he is home finally. He then remembers needing to make sure no one knows what is going on. "You must have really enjoyed your walk this time. You were gone for awhile."
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Kaoru confirms sharing a smile with his brother. "But it was just so peaceful today. I truly got lost in it all."
"That's okay." Hikaru assures him and the two of them head to the living rom together. "Did you find any interesting place while you were out there?" He sits on the couch along with his brother.
"I did. I got some pictures. Just so you could see as well." Kaoru confirms pulling out his phone. He had taken some pictures before he headed back wanting to use it as an way to be able to trade phones with Hikaru. His phone isn't safe to send the message to Kyouya. "Here." He opens the photos and the two exchange phones.
"Wow these are good." Hikaru begins going through the pictures while Kaoru writes a message to Kyouya.
"Indeed. I thought you'd like them." Kaoru confirms verbally. He makes sure that the message to Kyouya is good enough in its explanation.
Hey. It's Kaoru. I'm using Hikaru's phone to try to hide the message I'm sending to you. I managed to get a little information. It would seem that they are planning an attack on a member. I saw this member go to areas higher in rank than me. You might want to hurry and get to him before they do. Just don't show up yourself. Try to be discreet. They are likely watching out for him sharing any information. I don't think he knows he is being targeted though. They'll kill him as soon as possible. They have a whole plan to deal with his death. As far as I could tell from the quick look I got. The mans name is Akemi Akira. His information could be useful. Watch out for him trying to commit suicide if he finds out he is targeted.
With that message sent Kaoru focuses on pictures along with his brother. He'll need to trust Kyouya for now.
Kyouya reads the text message and clenches his hand around it. He gets all the information he can on the slightly rich man. He calls for some of his family's officers. He heads off to find the man he had heard about before now. He had never met the man before though. He supposes now is as good of a time as any to meet the man. He makes sure that the officers are also in the limo to help not raise suspicion. He calls the number that he had found and awaits a response.
"Hello?" A mans voice comes from the other side of the line.
"Greetings. My name is Kyouya Ootori. I would like to just have time to talk about business."
"Ootori?!" The man, Akemi, gasps upon hearing that name. "Am I dreaming? I've always wanted to talk business with your family. Ever since I was treated in one of your hospitals. I made sure to thank your father in person."
"Yes. I heard about that from my father." Kyouya confirms this over the phone. "Well I believe that you may have a lot of potential and it'll be best to get to know each other better."
"Yes. Yes. Feel free to come visit me. I am in my mansion." Akemi then gives the address.
"Thank you. We shall speak again shortly then. Perhaps we can even strike up a deal." Kyouya has no doubt that the group must be listening to this conversation. "If things go well you could expect a deal that will raise your income well."
"Thank you. I hope that things will go well. Being in a partnership with your family will be a dream come true. I'll see you when you get here."
The two hang up after that and Kyouya is glad that he is able to cover it up to a business deal. He looks out the window hoping that they get there soon. He doesn't want to arrive too late and lose this man.
The one who could give them much needed information.
Kyouya will just have to see how things are when he gets there.
