Chapter 3
"Well well, if it isn't our old team Captain," he sneered. Kai heard footsteps behind him and looked behind him. The other three appeared out of the shadows and laughed malevolently.
"It's nice to see you too," Kai said folding his arms and ignoring the other three.
"What brings you around here huh? After you deserted us for those. what are they? Babybreakers," he laughed. Kai laughed too.
"Yeah, they are Babybreakers actually. They break babies like you guys," Kai sneered back. Marco looked angry.
"Oh yeah, you're going to eat those words Kai Hiwitari," Marco said pulling out his blade and launcher.
"Or how about you get out of here, before I eat you," the cold female voice said out of the dark. She stepped out the dark, her unnatural red eyes flashing from beneath her bangs.
"Who are you babe?" one of the other three asked looking her up and down. She flashed him a glare before launching herself at him and knocking him down with one well placed punch. She glared at the other three that looked at her uneasily. She then turned to Kai.
"Well kid. Looks like you haven't got your quaint little friends here to help you do you?" she said walking closer. He looked over to the boy she had knocked down. He had to be gone, his head was bleeding and the others couldn't rouse him.
"Who the hell are you?" he said backing up.
"I'm just a little assassin doing what she's been told to do, with a slight twist. I don't get the pleasure of killing you. Someone else does." He noticed for the first time her slight Irish accent. "So, are you planning on coming quietly or do I have to knock you out first?"
He looked at the kid on the ground in a pool of blood and then at her.
"No chance," he said and ran at her. His whole girls and hitting morals flew out the window. He knocked her down to her surprise and then made a bolt for it.
"Get back here," she shouted angrily getting back up. He sprinted out of the industrial area and back towards his house. He was about a block away when she jumped in front of him. He slid to a stop.
"You didn't seriously think you could lose me did you? A professional assassin? You gotta be crazy kid," she went to grab him but he punched her in the face and then in the abdomen.
"I might be crazy, but your nuts," he shouted as he kicked her legs out from behind. She stood up and wiped blood away from her mouth. She began to laugh. Kai looked at her strangely.
"Your good kid, I'll give you that," she said pushing her bangs from her face.
"Yeah, well your not," another voice said. The blonde woman looked around, only to have a dark blue blur jump down from the wall next to her and tackle her. It rolled away into the shadows of the next wall. The blonde woman stood up.
"Who's there?" she snarled glaring into the shadows.
"You don't recognise this voice Nina?" it asked.
"You again? Get lost girl, this doesn't involve you," the woman; Nina snarled.
"Well, you know what us kids are like, we can't keep our noses out of other peoples business."
"Stop hiding in the shadows kid," Nina sneered. "Or are you too chicken to face me?" She laughed.
"If I thought you were ugly before," she said taking a cautious step into the street light. "It's nothing compared to just then."
Nina stopped laughing as Kai looked at the woman from earlier in the day. Her clothes were soaking wet, and he saw a small design on the hem of her shirt. It was a small sun design. She had fingerless gloves on and her head was still hooded; the metal on her face still flashed.
"You really don't think you can beat do you? Oh that's so sweet," Nina said with a slight grin on her face.
"Not like you and Anna huh?" the girl replied. Nina's eyes went wide.
"What are you talking about? That Anna girl has nothing to do with me," Nina hissed.
"You mean apart from the fact that you're both Irish, look the same and fight the same?" the girl shouted back. Nina clutched at her head and stumbled.
"You lie!" Nina hissed recovering herself. She glared at the girl and gave a deadly smile.
She launched herself at the girl, who ducked out of the way just in time. She spun around to kick Nina but she caught the girl's foot and threw her into a light post. The girl stood up and wiped away the blood that was starting drip from her nose.
"Nice catch." She caught Nina as she tried to tackle her and then threw her over her shoulder. Nina landed with a thud into the wall, cracking it.
"You're going to pay for that," Nina hissed getting to her feet. The girl got into a erady stance, her hood drooping over face. Nina ran at her and started punching and kicking at her. The girl blocked as many as she could, but Nina feinted a punch and then brought her leg up and kicked the girl in the stomach. The girl flew back and actually went through the wall, it crumbling around. Nina straightened up.
"Heh, she didn't stand a chance," Nina said and brushed her hair out of her face. She looked straight at Kai; who was standing there in total awe of the two women. Nina started to walk over to him; he took several steps back, but found himself against the wall.
"Well well, if it isn't our old team Captain," he sneered. Kai heard footsteps behind him and looked behind him. The other three appeared out of the shadows and laughed malevolently.
