Sei didn't stay at the Shrine very long after finding that Kagome had once again gone to the lands on the other side of the well. She did however manage to find a few places to stash objects she might need when she went to the well again. About to make her leave, she was attacked by a fairly large and fat cat. "Jeeze...Kagome really needs to get this beast under control." She just rolled her eyes, tapping the thing on the head with a flick of one of her fingers light enough that it wouldn't cause any harm, and it plopped over onto its side. Sei's eyes went wide in dismay 'Nani??!? I didn't kill it did I? Crap, I'd better make sure its okay!' She poked it with a stick. Nothing. She poked it again and it just got up and walked off. 'Strange...' She thought before a noise tore her glance away from the furry thing and onto a boy, whom she'd recognized as Kagome's little brother Souta, standing on the front porch of the house, holding a flashlight.
"Inuyasha? Is that you?" The boy asked after only seeing a blur of movement as Seiya made her escape from the grounds. Thinking it was just the cat or something and not is hero, the boy sighed and went back into the house while Sei watched from a tree a decent ways off of the grounds, mentally cursing her love of animals, while also being glad the cat was alright, and above all, wondering whom this Inuyasha character was. Thinking nothing of it, she descended from the tree and walked on the street lighted sidewalk to think for a while before she had to proceed with her mission.
She had spent a good 45 minutes walking before she decided to make another stop, this time at a 24 hour shop. She bought a few rice balls and a small amount of sake, which only took her only a few minutes to consume knowing she had better get back on schedule. She Paid the owner who nodded with a yawn and, telling him to keep the change, she exited the shop and proceeded on her walk to the dragons circle tavern, she figured that if she walked it would take her longer, besides she had two hours left until she had to be at that place anyway, but she hated wondering what would happen if she never showed up, she had never failed a mission, and didn't plan to anytime soon, or at least planned to, it seemed that every day each mission was more dangerous than the next. 'Just what are they sending me into this time?' She thought to herself before brushing the thought away for a short period of Abstract thinking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arriving at her destination at the exact time as planned, she entered the all night tavern. Spying a seat at the bar, she set herself down and peered around for other customers that might cause some trouble. There were a few drunk men face down on a table, seemingly passed out from more than likely a night of vigorous drinking, and one man in a long, high necked trench coat and an old fashion hat; the only one that worried Sei, she didn't want to get into anything with her clients rival syndicates. A tap on her shoulder got her attention. It was the bartender who proceeded to ask her what she'd be drinking.
"Red Wine" she told the man. "I don't need any ice in it either, it just gets in the way". The Man got her the drink she asked for and just gave her a look. "The reason why I asked for no ice, Mister tender, is because I have a philosophical question for you."she said quietly.
"Alright." The man answered. "Maybe I'll get lucky and find a logical solution to your question then."
"Good man, then my question to you is this" Sei stated once before looking down at her glass. "The world is full of people who view the glass half full, but if you flip the glass over, is it still half full, or is it half empty?"
"My, my, isn't this a tempting question. Well, my friend, the answer to this philosophical question of yours is that you can never view the glass half empty or half full if its always filled to the top. So in honor of filling the glass to the top, you get the whole bottle on the house." The man smirked and gave her the red wine bottle which seemed to have a slightly protruding label.
"Well then, Arigatou mister Tender, my time is up." Sei announced before gently picking up the bottle and walking outside. She immediately stopped after she took a few steps outside of the tavern, as the suspicious man from the bar had abruptly followed her outside.
"Do you have a deathwish?" Sei asked the man daintily with her back still turned to him.
"Don't give me that crap, I know what you're after, and its my job to kill you, so prepare yourself, girl." He replied, taking his gun out of his hoister and aiming it at her back.
"If that's how you want to play it..." Sei answered, placing the red wine bottle in a pocket of her cloak. She turned around and glared at the man, whose body seemed frozen by this ice-cold gesture. "I have no reason to kill you, but I must say if you make any attempt on my life, well...if you should make any attempt on my own life...the wrath of your boss will fail in comparison with my fury and I will more than likely tear your body to shreds, is that what you want?" His body remained frozen as she spoke, but as he managed to loosen up as she walked off, the man gritted his teeth and shot off his gun at her.
Releasing a low growl from her throat, Seiya dodged the bullet quickly and maneuvered herself around the inside of the man, and after punching him in the stomach, she grabbed the wrist of his gun holding hand and began twisting it until he dropped the lightweight weapon.
"Fool," She Whispered before raising her voice a notch. "Do you yeild?"
"I will neither run, nor hide." The man answered.
"Then you're a bigger fool than i thought."
Sei then release the man's hand and kicked him hard enough in the gut for him to lose consciousness, but not his life. That's right, not 'not his life' because the killing was for the end of her mission, not the beginning. She grinned, sure maybe it was a bit sadistic, but nothing could match the feel she got from a justified kill. Stepping once on top of the man's downed body, she walked a few blocks to a nearby park and took a seat on a bench, where she removed the red wine bottle from her cloak and peeled off the protruding label to receive its contents. A look of disdain immediately shown on her face.
"What the heck??!?!
~~~~Chapt 8~~~~ Preview~~~~Chapt. 8~~~~Preview~~~~
Seiya stared down at the paper. There was no specifics to this mission; Instead, there was a hand written note, a key card on a neck chain, and a picture of her supposed target. Opening the note, it read:
Agent #47
This will be your last mission. Two of the three rival syndicates in Tokyo are about to merge, and we feel it is unnecessary to require your services any longer. Your last mission will be tough indeed- after that please lay low and do not contact us. Your money has been left in the usual place, four times your normal amount, and we also left you a few presents. It has been an utmost pleasure working with you.
~Vender~
Sei Crunched up the paper in her hand. 'How could they...how could they do such a thing behind my back? I didn't even see it coming.' She thought to herself. Sure she already knew who the man in the picture was. He was the leader of the third syndicate.
