Flash
A dark night, drizzling rain across the cemetery as the lone figure stood in front the tombstone. She looked sullenly at the grave repeating her never-ending question.
'Did it have to end this way?'
She thought back to how happy they were together, the best moments in their lives.
She remembered one particular night, one special night indeed.
The White Angel walked gracefully up the flight of stairs until she reached the top and went through the door that led onto the roof. The wind ruffled her coat for a moment in the night air before she carried on to the edge of the roof. She calmly opened the case and took out the sniper parts and began assembling them. As she worked the cold edge of steel was suddenly pressed to her throat. She put down the rifle and turned slightly to see the perpetrator.
"It's about time you snuck up, getting slow Red Dragon?" she teased with a half grin. The tall beauty pocketed the knife and gazed down at the pro kneeing down.
"You're far too trusting you know" she scolded lightly but with a grin of her own. She sits down next to her and looks at the building in front of them.
"Who you killing tonight?" she asked casually. Angel pushes in the one bullet she needed into the magazine and thrust it into place.
"T. R Crolley. He's worth 20 million," she stated coolly, setting the rifle to angle.
"How are things?" she asked back as she peered through the night scope.
"The same as always, 'cept Ero's Arrow is hitting hard drugs now. Angel hesitated before adjusting the aim. She looked Dragon in the eye.
"She's my sister, I'll take care of her" she said in monotone and when she said 'take care of' she meant drop her. Poor Minako.
"Crolley is at the top floor in the building behind this one?" she stared more then asked. Angel nodded.
"I could be bothered taking out the guards in that building, besides this makes the Flash more interesting" she explained. Flash, name given to a quick and successful kill made, nothing else is acceptable.
"You always were the best shot" Dragon mused looking up at the sky. She could feel Angel staring at her but she couldn't deal with the tension that always build between then when they meet. Angel sighed and took one last aim and then slowly squeezed the trigger. The gold bullet flew out the barrel and spun through the air and it easily smashed through the first window and carried on though the building passing through opens doors until it reached the other side of the building and broke though. The city streets passed below it and then it reached the target window. The crack of the window caused Mr Crolley to raise his head from his work to see a flash before his eyes before the bullet went between his eyes, splattering blood on the wall behind him. He dropped back into his seat and slowly slid down it as his eyes, still filled with shock, stared blankly ahead.
The White Angel brushed her braid back over her shoulder as she watched the flashing lights of police cars racing to the scene minutes later, her sniper back into its suitcase.
"He had a wife and three children, the youngest 2 years old" she whispered more to herself then her companion.
" To reach the top you have to make some enemies, your first enemy signs your death warrant" she said, walking over to place a hand on Angel's shoulder. Angel looked up at Dragon with lidded eyes.
"Why are you here Rei? I know its not to see me" she said with the only emotion she showed that night. The mere fact that she said Dragon's real name opened up old connections between the two. Dragon lifted her Angel's chin up and briefly kissed her cold lips before walking away.
"I was hired to protect him"
"Why did you break the sacred rules?" Angel cried at her as her from disappeared down the stairs. To break the rules was to give yourself to death.
"For you, always for you" she whispered back and then she vanished. Leaving White Angel to stare after her.
Tears streamed down the woman's face as she read the tombstone again.
'Here lies Hino Rei
Elite
She had her final dance'
She placed the roses on the damp earth and quickly ran through the rain and into the waiting car. She got in the passenger side and shut the door. She closed her eyes and relaxed against the leather. Her companion looked over as the car started up.
"You okay?" she asked. The woman opened her blue eyes and looked into violet ones before looking out at the other gravestone she was standing at. She remembered the words..
'Here lies Tsukino Usagi
Elite
She danced it well'
She smiled and looked back at her partner.
"Yeah, just saying goodbye to a couple of old friends" the blonde replied. The raven-haired woman smiled back and drove out of the cemetery and out of old lives.
Mwahahahaha I fooled ya!! I really loved this fic. The assassination was taken from the adult anime 'Golgo 13'. Which is great. Feedback please!!!
