False Impressions
By Izanami Hime
Part 8
It was finally Friday night, the night where this horrible mission would end. Tanoshi and Duo met up at a park near the opera house. They were going in disguised as a rich couple going out on a date. Tanoshi was wearing on of the fancy dresses Suiri had made her pack. It was a long black dress, with slits on both sides. The slits made it easier to walk in the dress.
Duo was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath. Their disguises were flawless. After getting in they would go to their seats which were in the top area. Sometime during the show Duo would go up to the balcony, and Tanoshi would find Taro.
They handed the man at the door their tickets. "Sir, miss, your seats are up the stairs in row T." Duo thanked the man, took Tanoshi's hand, then walked off to their seats.
/****************************/
Ten minutes into the show, Tanoshi yawned for the fifth time. "Man this is sooooooo boring. How can anyone come here of their own free will?" She turned to look at Duo, and saw that he had fallen asleep.
*Great, how are we supposed to complete this mission if we're both bored out of our minds?*
She shook Duo's shoulder slightly, trying to wake him up, but it didn't work. She tried punching him, that didn't work either. She had one last idea. Tanoshi leaned over her seat, and kissed him.
That got a reaction out of him. "What was that for?" He asked grinning. Tanoshi sat back into her seat.
"You fell asleep. I had to wake you up somehow." She checked her watch. "It's almost time for intermission anyway." They decided that now was a good time to get to their posts. Tanoshi left first. She headed for the bathroom. While there, she changed into something more comfortable, something she could actually run in.
A few minutes after Tanoshi left for the bathroom, Duo took off to the men's room He changed into his normal outfit. You know it, so I won't waste time tellin' ya what it is. After he changed, he went to his post in the balcony.
Tanoshi was also waiting at her post. She was sitting on the stairs in front of the door, so she could snatch Taro when he came out for intermission.
/***************************/
Inside the auditorium, Taro was sitting with his uncle enjoying the show. The opera was enjoyable, but Taro had the strange feeling that something bad was going to happen. Every few minutes he'd turn around to see if someone was watching him.
*Great, now I'm being paranoid. I wonder if Tanoshi really is putting some kind of curse on me. That would explain why I feel like I'm being watched. Something's going on here, I just know it.*
Meanwhile, Duo was getting a kick out of watching Taro squirm like a bug every few minutes. He picked up his walkie-talkie, to tell Tanoshi.
"Izanami are ya there?" a few seconds later Tanoshi answered.
"This is Izanami. What's up?"
"I think Taro suspects something. He keeps looking back, as if he can tell that something's gonna happen. Intermission's coming up soon, so just be careful when you see him. Shinigami out."
"Thanks, I'll be careful. Izanami out."
Tanoshi thought about what Duo said. *It makes sense. Taro would be worried. He knows that Duo's a Gundam pilot, and he doesn't know if I'm talking to him behind his back. Taro's scared that Duo's here to kill him, but that's my job.*
Suddenly Tanoshi heard clapping and the doors opened. It seemed like everyone was coming out. Then she saw Taro walking out the doors. He was in the middle of a group of people. Tanoshi waited until he was really close. She put a hand over his mouth, and with the other dragged him off to an empty room that wasn't used anymore.
Tanoshi locked the door, then turned to face the cause of all her pain for the past weeks. Well now she was going to make him feel the pain she felt.
"Hello Taro." She smiled with amusement when he realized who it was.
"Tanoshi?" Taro asked. He was very confused.
"Yeah it's me, and to answer your next question, I'm here to get rid of you." If anything this confused Taro even more.
"What do you get rid of me? Are you planning on killing me?" Tanoshi nodded.
"Yup that's the plan. How should I do it? Help me out here will ya?" Taro didn't believe it.
"Wait a sec, you are going to kill me? That's hilarious. I am Taro Ikegami, the best Oz soldier at my uncle's base. There's no way a mere girl could even hurt me." For once Tanoshi didn't have to restrain herself. She punched him right on the nose, and broke it.
"Ooops, did this mere girl just brake your nose? Poor poor Taro."
Taro was holding his broken nose, while wondering how she had done that. "What the, you fucking broke my nose! Who the hell are you?"
"Glad you asked Taro my boy. I am Tanoshi Iwakura, pilot of Gundam 07."
Taro was shocked. "B-but you're just a girl. How can a girl be a Gundam pilot?" for that Tanoshi punched him again.
"Listen Taro, you made a big mistake when you tried to separate Duo and me. You didn't even think that I could be a Gundam pilot. I swear you Oz types are all alike. You're all just so stupid, like your uncle here. While I'm takin' care of you, Duo's takin' care of the Headmaster." Taro looked down.
"So this is it then. Fine, but I have just one question that I want you to answer for me." He looked at Tanoshi for an answer.
"Sure . One question."
"Why are you going to kill me. it can't just be revenge I know that you Gundam pilots don't work that way."
"Fair enough, I'll answer your question." She took a seat in front of Taro. "I can't let you live. Don't get me wrong, I hate having to kill. But if I let you live my friends will be in danger, and they're the only family I've got. I'd rather die than risk them getting hurt." With that said she stood up and walked over to her bag. She pulled a gun.
Taro, seeing the gun knew she wasn't bluffing about killing him. "Please don't kill me, I promise I won't tell anyone who you are, I swear! Just don't kill me!" Tanoshi laughed bitterly.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. You see, I don't trust the enemy. You're gonna die in a few minutes, so say your last prayers and say hi to the god of death for me when you see him."
She put the silencer on her gun, and pulled the trigger. She shot Three times in the heart, and twice in the head. When she was positive that he was dead, she left.
/****************************/
Outside the opera house, Tanoshi met up with Duo. They looked a eachother and knew that they had both completed their missions. Taro Ikegami would never bother anyone ever again, and General Iwakura would never issue another command.
Duo and Tanoshi stopped by the school to pick up their things. When Tanoshi got to her room, she saw that she had an email from Azuki.
To: Izanami620@Oz_bites.net
From: Zukester120@saint_mary's.com
Topic: Hi!!!
Hey Tanoshi, I just wanted to thank you for helping me study for the history final. I completely aced it, thanks to you. I dunno, I may be crazy, but today when you said 'bye' to me today it felt kinda final. Was I imagining it? Oh well, I'll talk to you later.
~Azuki~
Tanoshi decided that saying goodbye in an email wasn't fair. She packed up her stuff, then headed for Azuki's room. She knocked on the door and waited for her to answer.
When she did, Azuki sensed that something was up, and invited Tanoshi in.
"What is it?" Azuki asked once they were inside.
Tanoshi thought of the best way to say what she wanted. "Well um... it's about your email. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I'm leaving tonight. I'm changing schools." Tanoshi wanted to tell her why, but knew it would be a mistake.
"I thought something was up today. Ok then, I'm really gonna miss you Tanoshi. I've only known you for a few weeks, but you're my best friend."
Tanoshi hugged her friend. "I'm going to miss you too Azuki-chan. Let's keep in touch." They said their final good-byes, then Tanoshi met Duo in the parking lot.
"Ok, let's go." he asked, while getting into the cab he'd called. They both took a final look at the place where so much had happened in the past weeks, then left. They were finally going home.
/********************/
Yay, I'm finally finished!!!!!!! The story is done. Taro is dead, and everyone's happy. I'm sorry if you thought that this part completely sucked. I tried to make it good. Oh well, that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
