Chapter 6:
Stealing riches
A/N: here are the names and professions of the people again, just for future reference. Arisa: a spunky assassin that belongs to the mind of Misao. She is known as the Black Fox in the newspapers. She sneaks into the shadows and once her victim walks past her she appears for long enough to kill them with one hit of her kunai then disappears again, seemingly never to be seen again. She also steals many precious gems and cash.
Hikio: Arisa's faithful right hand man. Sometimes so faithful it's sickening. But he is sweet. He gives her updates on the company and tells her when someone needs to be eliminated from the race to gain power. At times he does her dirty work for her. He goes on many assignments for her and she can always trust him. He is the person who tells her what's up. He carries a metal sword with him.
Ginko: she is the technical geek of the bunch. She disassembles video cameras and turns off security systems. She makes all the gadgets for the group and is the one you should call if you're in a pickle. But she does fight quite well. She is armed with a deadly metal curvy dagger (I don't know the name) and an intellect that matches Bill Gates in technology.
Kishi: She is a fiery one. Usually she is a distraction but she can fend for herself. She is armed with two metal Japanese fans that she keeps in her elegant designer kimono. She is an arsenal guru. Just by looking at you she can tell which weapon you would be best at.
Chuichi: He is the stupid goofy one. He takes out security at the front gate but not inside the building, he doesn't like that kind of thing. His weapon of choice is a good old-fashioned bow and arrow. That's right he's an anchor.
Danjuro: he keeps a look out for any one who comes their way. He also helps figure out how Kishi will distract each man/woman. Weapon of choice is a crossbow.
Juro: He is the get away driver. He drives them everywhere but also has a weapon. Weapon of choice is his fist and he knows how to use them. This chapter gets pg-13 ish. On to the story.
This house was gigantic! The front gate was at least 40 feet high, and the guards were swarming everywhere. Chuichi was going to get a work out taking these guys out. Juro better be fast, or we might not get away.
"So Ginko, Kishi, Danjuro how are we getting this old man distracted?" Arisa asked. Kishi looked up, seemingly very upset, she always has enjoyed her work. This old man must really be a pervert to make Kishi upset.
"Well, we have wanted to take this guys money for some time see he has sent some spies to our headquarters trying to get our riches and some agents. So we arranged a date with him for Kishi, then you called and we figured this assignment was perfect for you." Hikio said.
'Hikio is like a dog, I bark out orders for him and he willingly obeys, I love him like a brother, but that doesn't mean he cant be sneaky, he planned this without my knowing, then he slipped me into the operation as if I was the one who thought up this brilliant plan. He is one good assassin. He knows when to obey and when to rebel.' Arisa thought.
"Well thanks, you guys are great, Enishi remember not to mess this up!" Arisa said. Enishi just glared at her.
"OK, Kishi, walk in real sexy like then get him to come out with you, get into his car and tell him you have a love for speedy drivers, that should make him drive fast. Make sure you tell him that you were running late so you two have to hurry or your reservation will be lost. Got it (nod from Kishi) good." Arisa said. They all watched as she slipped out of the car and untied her leather trench coat. She was wearing a brilliant blue kimono, which was cut extremely short and low. She was dressed to impress, and it worked. She stealthily slipped into his house and met him in a hallway, she told him the story and he bought it, they hurriedly stepped out of the house. She walked to the car catching him looking down her dress many a times. She told him her need for speed and he quickly floored it outa there. They were safe.
"She's good" Enishi sad as they stopped the watch at 4.03 minutes. That broke her record of 5 minutes flat.
"You haven't seen anything yet. She's been having a bad day," Arisa said.
"Chuichi are you ready, this should be a little difficult." Arisa said. Everyone looked to Chuichi to the dozens of guards out side the house.
"Have I ever done you wrong?" Chuichi asked. Arisa looked at him as if he shouldn't have said that.
"Well not exactly, but there are a lot of guards, at least 40" Arisa said. They were doing a little dance they always did. He brought up there old relationship and she force-fed his words back to him. They looked deep into each other's eyes with old feelings good and bad then they snapped back into reality and the feelings soon turned to mutual respect.
"Believe me my arrows have never failed to get the kill" Chichi said as he hopped up into a tree, the perfect sniping position before she could even respond. She just glared in his direction. Enishi was a little confused but soon ignored her and went on with his duties.H He shot the seemingly head guard in the heart with deadly accuracy. Enishi just stared, in complete awe. He really knew what he was doing. He quickly shot as many as he could until they saw him. They shot at him and he moved with great speed to the ground, not a scratch on him. Arisa decided to see how this played out. He shot many of them but once he was down to 4 guys he ran out of arrows. Arisa could be vicious but she did have a heart. She walked next to him. He scowled. She whipped out her kunai and whipped 4 of them at the rest of the men. They hit them right in the head. They died instantly. She smiled; her aim was much better now.
"Ginko, your turn to impress Enishi" Chuichi said.
"Right." Ginko said jumping up into the tree and signaling to Arisa to come up with her. Arisa jumped up there as well. She intertwined her fingers and made a foot hold for Ginko to jump over the 20 more feet there were, she didn't want to trip the alarm incase she hit the fence. She put her foot in the hole and counted to three. On three Arisa lifted her up and Ginko jumped as high as she could. In the air she flung a small dagger at a camera. It cracked and sizzled with sparks. She landed safely on the other side of the fence. She moved around looking around the building making sure no one saw them and was coming to kill them. She walked into the little hut that opened and closed the gate. She typed in the right combination: cash. People were so predictable. The gate swung open and everyone filed in quickly. Once the gate closed Ginko took one of her 7 daggers and stuck it into the controls and pulled it out. The gate was defiantly not going to open automatically any time soon. They walked calmly into the house. Ginko headed west for the control room but not after she flung her dagger at an angle that it cut all the security cameras off the wall and flung back at her. She caught it and headed to the room. She purposefully left one still on the wall so she could give them the signal. She was able to de activate the security system easily. The camera that all 5 of them were looking at moved up and down and they knew that it was safe.
"She's good to that only took her 6.54 minutes to disable an entire security system." Enishi seemed impressed.
"Danjuro go find a look out place, Chuichi go back outside and make sure no one finds the car and the broken equipment. Hikio go ahead and see if any cameras are not disabled." Arisa said.
"Right" All three of them said. All of them went their separate ways, it may seem that they were making it easier for the guards to capture them since they already divided now all they have to do is concur. But it's the complete opposite, they just gang up on the guards and they aren't easily taken down. Arisa waited for Hikio to round the corner and tell her yes or no.
"What are we doing?" Enishi asked.
"Well im waiting for Hikio to tell me if the cameras are all disabled if they are we can go if not we have to alert Ginko." Arisa said. Hikio looked at her and nodded.
"Great, ok Ginko we are all good" Arisa said into her earpiece. She began walking listening to instructions of were to go (in between these are what Arisa hears in her ear piece).
"Ok Arisa walk down this hall till you see a portrait of the Mona Lisa then turn left OK Then turn around and make sure Enishi is close by because there are two guards OK Thanks" Arisa said. She followed the directions then made sure Enishi was close. She jumped out from behind the wall and kicked one of them right in the face, which got them mad. She them threw one of her Kunai and killed one, but she wanted to fight. She punched him once and kicked him twice. She then used her speed to punch him 7 times in the stomach with no retaliation. He fell to the ground. She dint feel the need to kill him but he could call for back up, so she "accidentally" dropped a Kunai right on his temple. She hurried around the corner to be face to face with a flying Hikio.
'Hmm that's weird why is he flying, I didn't know he could fly, wait he's not flying he's being thrown at me! Oh crap' Arisa thought as he hit her. They both went flying into the wall. Her eyes flashed blue then black then a bit red then back to Arisa's dark blue.
"Well that hurt, what happened Hikio?" Arisa asked as she winced in pain when he got up.
"Sorry I didn't see the guy and he knew I was coming he, punched me hard in the stomach" Hikio said.
'Yea and you hit me hard in the stomach' Arisa thought.
"Be a smidgen more careful, will ya" Arisa said. Enishi just stood there dumbfounded. Once he came back to his senses he offered her a hand up. She accepted and stood with a little difficulty.
"Are you ok? You seemed to have some trouble," Enishi said. Arisa looked down and realized she had a broken rib or two, not the best thing for an assassin on the job to break a rib.
" I've survived worse. Ok Ginko more instructions please, were just fighting off some thugs " Arisa said while fighting a guy.
"If you are sure your alright, I mean I see that you do have a broken rib, or maybe two yea im fine oh no you aren't your going home Shut up Chuichi im not taking orders from you any more But your hurt, you should use some common sense. I am now leave me alone me and Misao will just have Fumiki deal with the pain (she is smiling now) whose Fumiki? No one now give me my instructions! Ok now once your finished with those guys walk down that hall way and turn right at the red wall, at the end of that hallway should be a big room with a fire place OK we are at the red wall turning and walking down the hall way, I see the room. Good go in it and go towards the fireplace yes ok im here. The maid has just finished cleaning it so it should be relatively clean it is. What's your point? Right about now rope should be in the fireplace Yea you want me to climb up? Yes tie it around your waist and climb up in the middle of the chimney should be a square slightly pushed out yes I see it, Enishi follow me here's another rope. Hikio you can come if you wish or you can look out for me. Remove the square and it should be big enough for you to get through, use your laser that Is in your suit to cut more room or Enishi if you want you've thought of everything, so what's behind this brick and were do I put it? Give it to Danjuro on the roof, inside should be the volt door, this is were it gets tricky. Lovely ok im in so is Enishi. There should be some contacts in your pocket too put them in and type in: dough a little door should open up and look into it, it will scan your eye, don't let the contact slip! OK I got it….. All right the eye check is complete. It should open in a matter of seconds yes its open good now get in there but be care full I cant turn off the lasers in there. All right what now? Well spray the spray in the canister in your suit and you should be able to see the red lasers and there is some string that you can hook up to the other wall so you can slide across the wire. You're the best you really thought this through. I try " (that was long.) Arisa pulled out the spray and sprayed it across the floor until it filled the room and made the lasers visible. She shot an arrow with a wire attached to it to the other side of the room. She had to land on the bookshelf type thing. She slowly attached herself to the wire and slid across the room. She landed noiselessly on the top of the shelf. The hands on her suit became sticky enough to climb on the wall. She climbed on the wall and one glove slipped off. It floated to the ground and she prayed to god it didn't hit a laser and set off the alarm, it didn't. So now she had to walk up the wall to the ceiling and stand upside down to get the money. To top it all off she had a broken rib. She stood upside down watching Enishi sit on the book case waiting to take one of the suitcases of money. She grabbed one in her hand with out the glove and two in the hand with the sticky glove. She walked over to Enishi and handed him one. She slowly climbed down the wall and onto the bookcase. She slid across the rope and into the chimney. She waited for Enishi. He closed the door and followed her. They climbed out of the chimney and walked across the room.
"Ok now what? Well a guard or two have found me so ill get back to you in a minute. " Arisa said. She rolled her eyes.
"Ok guys, were on our own, Ginko is tied up with some guards right now. Ok I want to go out the back lets go this way." Arisa said pointing to the right. Enishi and Hikio just shrugged and followed her. She turned right and found a dead end, which sucks. She turned around and went left she could go four ways.
'Ok lets go to the right' she thought. They walked right then kept going forward for a while. She started to recognize things. That wasn't good. She turned a corner and ran into Chuichi.
"What are you doing in here?" Arisa asked.
"Well the guards stopped coming outside about half an hour ago so I came in to talk to Ginko, she needed help so I helped her out. We both spit up looking for you since you weren't responding to our calls. I just happened to find you first." Chuichi said. Arisa looked at him leaning on her hip and her arms crossed.
"I lost my communicator about two hallways that way, when I went back to find it some one had stepped on it, you should have called one of these two, genius. Um so how do we get out of here?" Arisa said. Chuichi just smiled.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" He said.
"Chuichi this isn't a game if we don't get out of here soon Kishi is going to come back and the old man will catch us! Do you really want that?" Arisa said. They began walking, him leading her.
"No." Chuichi said. Arisa smiled in spite of herself, she won this battle. She followed him out of the building. She counted all the faces smiling at her.
'1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 including me, ok Kishi is the only one we need.' She thought. They waited for a while, until they saw a car pull up, but this car didn't have the old man or Kishi in it. This was a car full of guards.
"Could this mission get any worse?" Arisa asked.
"Yes" everyone said simultaneously. Enishi looked at her, he seemed bored.
" Arisa, is this really what you do when Misao gets mad?"
"Well Enishi, if she's really mad she lets me kill someone, but usually it goes much smother, and they give me time to memorize a map of the place, no this time I had to have the privilege of getting lost." Arisa said looking at Ginko.
"Arisa we have company" Danjuro said from high in a tree.
"Of course" She said. She jumped up there and looked at the guards scrambling to find them, until one of them spotted her leather trench coat whip in the breeze. She smiled, this was going to be fun, these guards knew what they were doing one simple fling of her kunai wouldn't kill them.
"Ok spread out, and have some fun, loosen up, your wound tighter than a watch spring (couldn't think of anything sorry for the cheesy line)" Arisa said. They all walked up to a separate guard and jumped them. Arisa took out her Kunai and flung 6 of them at her targets head, one of them hit him, he was fast but that was a deadly shot; he was down and wasn't getting back up. Hikio whipped out his sword and tried to cut his opponent 16 times but failed to cut him more than 5 times. These guys were not bad. Ginko threw a dagger at one of them and sliced his arm off with another dagger, She also slit his throat. Chuichi pulled out two arrows at a time and shot them at another guy. One hit him in the arm and the other hit another man Juro was fighting in the head. Chuichi shot 5 arrows at the guy one of them should have hit him, and indeed one did. And Juros guy is already dead. Mean while Arisa was fighting the leader and strongest guard there.
Arisa had given up on her kunai; they were useless against some one as fast as him. She had used her fists up until now when Ginko threw her a sword. The man was also thrown a sword thanks to Chichi and his stupid honor code, "an unarmed opponent is not to be fought, its unfair", stupid Chuichi. Arisa came after him running fast. She sliced open his arm, blood gushed from the wound but the man didn't seem fazed by this attack, she'd have to fix that. She came after him again and their swords clashed. She jumped back and jumped high in the air and did a back flip above his head, she almost sliced his back open but Chuichi shot an arrow at her sword which caused it to move so she hit the dirt.
"CHUICHI! God whose team or you on?" Arisa asked.
"Remember the honor code, don't hit some one with their back turned. I think we need to brush up on this." Chuichi said. Arisa scowled but resumed her fight. The man came after her this time trying to get to her heart, this man sure did want to kill her. She noticed that he was wearing a mask and had blue-ish eyes. She had to concentrate though he was good and one silly mistake could kill her. He moved so fast she could barely block. He managed to cut open a small portion of her skin on her abdomen. The cut bled freely, she didn't seem to notice either, she knew it was there just the fight had taken hold of her and she didn't pay attention to the minor details till the end. Their swords were moving so fast all you could see is a blur of silvery metal, if even. They were cutting each other up, the cuts just kept appearing. Obviously this fight was who could endure more pain. Finally they each had roughly 60 to 70 cuts all over. They couldn't even move any more, they dropped their swords and started throwing punches. They didn't bother to block. He would punch her and she would punch him. Finally they couldn't even do that; they collapsed at the same time, both breathing hard on the ground. Chuichi picked up Arisa, and Danjuro picked up the masked man, he might be useful and they had already moved all the bodies into closets so the old man would notice anything major right away.
"Chuichi, my fights not ….. Over ……. Put me …" Arisa said, and she was out. They all went to the car, hopefully Kishi is feeling better. A car sped up to the dive way and Kishi got out, they heard her say, "My girlfriends are waiting in that car there, I have to go, I did have a lovely time, ill call you" Kishi said.
"Yea right" Arisa mumbled subconsciously. Kishi got in the car and they floored it home. Enishi and Chuichi were assigned the task of wrapping up Arisa's wounds, that would take a while, why did that guy have to slice her across her breasts? They wrapped up the many cuts on her hands and arms and legs. Enishi decided to leave her old boyfriend to the job of wrapping her chest. She would die if he didn't and he would die if she woke up. He slipped off the top of her stealth suit. He sighed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had previously wrapped her chest, he figured just incase, she was always taking unnecessary precautions, But today it was necessary. He just rewrapped her chest. Now to find out whom Mr. Mysterious was. Arisa awoke for the damasking. She sat up grabbed a kunai out of her suit witch wasn't zipped up all the way, actually it was quite low.
'I didn't leave it like that, oh im in the car I don't need these kunai' she thought. Everyone was looking at her like she was the grim reaper; they thought she was going to throw her kunai at them.
"Relax, um why is my zipper down way low? It wasn't there before." Arisa asked. Chuichi looked around looking for some help.
" Arisa you had a cut on your … chest, so I had to bandage you up." Kishi decided to take the wrath of Arisa for Chuichi. Chuichi looked at her with thanks she just smiled at him.
"Really, so whose the Mystery man?" Arisa said to every ones surprise. They really thought that Kishi was a goner. Actually having Kishi wrap her up would have been a safer idea but they wanted Chuichi to suffer. Ginko slowly slipped of the mask, first showing the chin then the mouth then over the nose (does this sound familiar, think spider-man the movie, but their in a car and the mask is black and he isn't hanging upside down.). Slowly she slipped the mask off his face. His hair moved around a little. Arisa gasped and put her hands to her face. She sat strait up to get a better view of him, oh my god.
A/N: Ok tell me the truth is this story going down hill? Did I do a horrible job on the fight scene, and the whole robbery thing? Tell me the truth. My self-esteem is going way down on this one cuz I cant do it, I have half of a writers block, like I get distracted easy and I cant think one second and the next I think I have a great part then I read it and It sucks. Ok review please and thank you, for those of you who actually read this I love you very much so. Thanks.
