FalconIce
Treize looked at the chair that not too long ago had held the being called The Assassin. He now knew why the man kept to himself. Why, if the Universal Alliance Members were to see such a being as he, they would undoubtedly feel threatened and that of course would start a whole row of chain reaction which will eventually end up with them trying to kill him and failing miserably start the fall of the Universal Alliance.
Shaking his head, Treize kept his cold blue eyes at the chair. He then amusedly noted to himself that neither the man nor his friends had ever gotten to the point of introducing the third Elder to him. Nonetheless, they had informed him that they would be staying on Planet until the case was gone and done with. This only gave Treize more reasons to worry about the two agents he had sent out to solve aforementioned file case.
With a small amount of concentration, Treize telepathically sought a connection to one of the field agents," Wing. Confirm connection. This is Krushrenanda."
"Wing here. No leads as of the moment." Came the stoic reply and it seemed to the old vampire that curiosity underlined the other's thought-speak.
"I know. The Three Elders have just been to my office. They have a lead on the target. Head to Area district 34A to the Southside Hotel called La Menge. It shouldn't be hard to miss." The ginger haired vampire paused to let the information soak in before continuing." I have to inform you that they are bound with strict non interference protocols so they will only answer questions you give to them and will never volunteer information, is that clear?"
"Hai."
"Just be thorough and you will probably get everything." Treize was about to cut off the connection when he remembered the Amber eyed Elder's parting words." A clue as to the targets from the Elders: the individual you seek is less than what you think and more than you can see. That is what they told me word for word. Wing, good luck." He felt the confirming thought-speak and signed off.
The Oldest Vampire sighed. This mission was going to be harder than he thought. Anything that involved Elders hardly remained small for long. Hell-the last time even one got involved, an entire galaxy almost went up in flames and now, what did he have? All three of them and the oldest ones nonetheless!
He sighed yet again and prayed to whatever God existed that the outcome wouldn't be so bad.
Heero looked up and found to his utter disliking that Hotel La Menge was none other than one of the most avoided hotels in the entire district. It wasn't too bad actually. It was a one star and even held a few decent formal functions but wit the past of five people murdered over the last decade. No one had been too eager to stay in.
A familiar violet-eyed figure waltzed up next to him." You ever thought why they would stay at such a disreputable inn when-being Elders and all-they could probably afford a dump better than this." The Gamishin commented as he too stared at the large building.
"Who is to question the actions of an Elder." Heero replied and began to enter the building, the braided teen not too far behind.
The Hotel lobby wasn't in any way significant rather, it portrayed the very average-ness of the hotel. There were the usual condiments of lounge chairs and a few well placed potted foliage but other than that, the lobby was hardly anything great to note.
Looking on, the counter housed one very bored looking Hotel Manager who at present was idly reading a paper. Flip goes a page and a few moments would pass before the action was repeated again.
The Cobalt-eyed vampire took the initiative and headed towards the reading man who looked up from his newspaper at the young immortal with an uninterested gaze. It was as if Wing was like any other customer, hardly worth noting.
"Excuse me." The silent blood drinker started." Does this hotel house three men tha-"
A bored gaze stared at him fixatedly." You are Wing-sama, am I right?" The manager asked as he neatly folded the paper he had been reading before neatly stowing the item away.
"Yes." Heero answered deadpan and proceeded to search the face of idle faced man.
The manager looked down and rummaged for a few seconds before coming up with a key which was either to a room housing the aforementioned Elders or for them.
"Room 306-compliments of the Three. You may find them in Room 2 on the second floor. They are waiting for you." He explained all this with hardly a muscle twitch in his face and sounding more like a bored teacher explaining history than a polite hotel manager.
Cobalt blue eyes blinked." Aa." In response, the man merely retrieved his folded up paper and began to read it again as soon as he opened it.
"That was hardly even a decent conversation." commented the hyperactive Gamishin beside him.
"Iku." The vampire prompted and headed towards the elevators, keys clutched in hand.
" Hai! Hai!" Duo replied and bounced along behind him." So-" He began and hopped beside the brooding vampire." Whatcha gonna ask them nyway?"
Violet eyes blinked up at Wing." The basic investigation queries." He stated unblinkingly. Duo frowned.
"Yeah-" He replied then circulated the information around his mind before continuing." This case is hardly basic at all!"
"So?" Duo rolled his eyes at the word.
"What do you mean SO?" He muttered exasperatedly," We're talking to the Three Elders here! Ya gotta have something more interesting than that?"
An eyebrow rose. "What do you expect me to ask?"
The braided Gamishin tsk-tsked," Hee-chan! I can't believe that you're so bookish. C'mmon! Why don't we ask one of the-" The violet eyed teen bit his lowerlip." Oh say, one of the universe's secrets!" He suggested brightly.
"And what would I need this fact for?" The tone came out in a familiar sarcastic drawl.
Duo shrugged." Hey! Who knows when such things are needed ya know!" He winked. " Never let an opportunity to gain information slip by if ya ask me!"
Heero just shook his head and entered the now open elevator doors. Pushing the button saying two, Duo quickly followed inside and leaned on a sturdy wall at the back.
"I'm just hoping that this case ain't so bad and those Elders aren't as stiff and formal as most higher-ups are." The Hunter chatted almost to himself. Heero said nothing in response as he was deep into brooding.
He had to think of the right questions to ask. It would hardly be surprising that the Elders would hardly find time to answer so many. After all, they had a certain celebrity status amongst the planetary leaders. It was all too possible that their schedules were booked solid.
But to the contrary, as the entered the suit, the Elders hardly looked booked at all.
Two of them were missing in fact while the one left was enjoying the entertainment which the night sky of Paria provided.
Heero cleared his throat.
"We are here as you suggested." He spoke which earned the attention of the person looking out the window.
The being, was in fact the most mysterious of the Three Immortals and as Duo's gasp soon showed, the most surprising as well.
The man smiled and amber eyes glinted amused." Oh don't be so awed." He commented and motioned for them to sit down on the nearby couches sitting in the middle of what could only be called the living room." I'm a man just like yourselves and whatever you heard from anyone is just an exaggeration!"
The man was wearing a black sleeping robe which was left open in front revealing that the Elder only wore a pair of comfortable black boxer shorts and an oversized and rather frayed plain white shirt.
"I'd thought you look more…" Duo stopped, thinking of a better word.
"Awe inspiring?" The man suggested helpfully, a smirk blossoming on his face.
The braided Gamishin could only nod sheepishly. Heero fought back the urge to slap his forehead.
"I've lived as long as the universe has and formality hardly got me anywhere…" He replied and tossed back a few red locks over his shoulder." I'm comfortable this way and you two shouldn't be too uptight either." He smiled at both of them.
Both guest were rendered effectively speechless and both could only gape at their informal host. It was a sound from one of the adjacent rooms that broke the astonished tension in the air as a young oriental man with tightly bound-back hair came striding into the room bearing a tray of tea.
His onyx eyes scanned the room with a hint of distaste before setting down the tray of tea on the table in front of the elder. Clad in golden silk robes and an inner Chinese Mao suit embroidered with dragons, the young man faced the red-haired Elder.
"What the Hell do you think you're wearing?!?" The young man burst out as he gestured towards the other being's clothes.
Amber eyes stayed calm as they ran down the length of the Elder's body before going up to meet spirited and fiery onyx." My house wear." He stated simply before grinning up at the irate oriental.
"Sensei!" The young man admonished." You are having guests! You do not wear such things in front of honored people! It is injustice and undoes one's honor to be seen so untidy and informal!" Ebony eyes glared stonily at Gold.
The Elder's hand waved nonchalantly at the Chinese as if in dismissal." You go for that-" He started and raised an eyebrow at the other." But I hate formality if you remember Fei-Fei…"
Heero could no doubt sense a nerve sprouting from the irate man's forehead at the statement. He could just imagine the smoke issuing out of the Orient's ears as his face turned redder in preparation to burst.
"MY NAME IS CHANG WUFEI! ELDER OR NO ELDER YOU MUST CALL ME IN NO OTHER WAY FOR IT IS INJUSTICE AND AN INSULT OT MY CLAN!" He bellowed, his eyes flashing and his face red.
The other man took the whole tantrum astride and sipped from a cup which he had obtained from the table in front of him." My dear Fei-Fei. You are just embarrassing yourself in front of these wonderful gentlemen." He raised his eyes and looked at the two young men in front of him." Tea anyone?" He asked, smiling.
The young man called Wufei could sense his defeat and deflated in front of their eyes as he sat next to what Heero assumed was his sensei.
"Isn't that better little hsiao lung." The Elder beamed at the pouting Asian.
"I absolutely abhor it when you get smug." Wufei grumbled before glaring at the two beings across the room." Don't mind my master; he's just being an insufferable fool!"
"Um, I kinda like the way your Master Thinks there WuWu!" Duo exclaimed from beside Heero who had taken the time to glare at his so called partner himself.
"Don't mind my partner either. He's a baka if you know what I mean." Wing commented at the Chinese who had by now grown a knowing smirk on his face.
"I see." Wufei smirked.
"Now now you two-"began the red-haired Elder," No being all smug and mean it's rude!" Smooth silken hair fell across one silk clad shoulder as the man bent down to pour himself another cup of tea.
Heero looked around the room and noted that the suit they were in was surprisingly more lavish than what the Hotel with its status would permit. The Elder, having noticed Yuy's puzzlement as he looked around came to reply to all the unasked questions.
"This suit and hotel has been tailor made for us, Elders. We find that staying in ill reputed establishments offer us a sweet cover against anyone who would like to trespass. But of course-we mustn't make this stop us from living the way we want to." Eyes twinkled merrily in the dark." I'm Li, Li Luo Lung by the way. The Third of the Elders and often called by the term, the Dual Faced Assasin." He then set the tea cup down." But you may call me Li."
The fallen line was soon caught and continued by he Chinese man beside Li." I am Chang Wufei from Sector 777V and the Planet Draconis and from the initial information, you may by know have inferred that I am a Dragon. What you cannot know is that I am the Prince of the Emperor and thus am a Gold Dragon by birth and by status. I am also a sub-Elder which answers the question as to why I am with Sensei Li here." Finishing his speech of introduction the young dragon bent and himself picked up a cup of tea which he proceeded to drink from.
"Heero-" But the Cobalt-eyed vampire was stopped from saying anything further as he promptly lost his voice. Surprised at the run of event, the vampire clutched at his non-functioning throat.
"Hey! What did you-" But the Hunter's question was never finished as the exact same thing happened to him. His reaction was all too predictable as he too clutched at his throat.
"It is imperative that both of you keep quiet." Wufei explained as he quietly sipped tea at the same time." Time is gold and we have not much left." Onyx eyes sought cobalt and amethyst." Sensei will now speak and both of you must listen well. The voiding of your voices has been done so that you will not be tempted to interrupt."
Li now stood up, his silken robes bellowing about him." Your target is coming to this very spot as we speak. Rules surrounding Elders does not permit me to help you in the fight. So warn you now. Think of what the clue I gave Treize meant and you will surely succeed in the battle."
Glass crashed as the windows around the suit burst open and a figure stumbled inside. A wild mane of silver flew in the air and crystalline blue eyes took in the surroundings.
"You shall all perish!" came the wraith like voice before Heero Yuy found himself the prey of the hunt.
Note-sies: Um…No comment about this chapter desu. ^.^ Only that it was written out of boredom and all. Hope you all like the story so far. More action scenes to come desu ne! Reviews, suggestions, and stuff will be greatly appreciated desu ne! ^.^ Oh yeah, one last thing, grammar and spelling still suck so if ya just ignore it that would be great!
