Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade…I do kill, though…


A beam of light almost reached the 2 girls, before they dodged out of the flashlight's way. One of the girls raised her gun.

-Ping-

That was all the sound that could be heard as a corps of a man dropped to the floor with a dull thud. A ping: the drop of the bullet falling onto the ground. It was almost too quiet to hear, unless you are at a close range.

"He's dead…" Mariam said quietly to Mariah, who nodded. They snuck around the dark corners and tried to blend in with the dark.

"Are there any more of them?" Mariah whispered in her microphone, which was connected to the headset that Mariam was wearing. They were about 30 meters away from each other.

"No…" Mariam whispered back. Mariah picked up speed. "Wait…" the voice hissed in Mariah's ears, making her eardrums ring. "Never mind, it was nothing…"

The 2 girls came across a two-way hall.

"Do you know exactly how to get to the 3rd floor?" Mariah asked Mariam quietly. "Do you want to split and meet?"

"Alright, keep in contact. If you get the trap turn, beep."

"K."

Mariah nodded to Mariam who turned her head back to Mariah. They split and went their own ways.

-Ping-

-Ping, ping-

3 groans were heard as 3 bodies dropped to the floor lifelessly. Ozuma smirked and looked at Rei, who felt slightly scared of all the deaths that HE was causing.

Who thought that I would kill…? Rei sighed, and ran after Ozuma soundlessly. He kept his eyes ahead, until a sharp pain spread through his arm. Rei's eyes widened and his hand flew to his arm; blood.

"IDIOT, BEHIND YOU," Ozuma hissed as he raised his gun.

-Ping-

Again, a thud of a body hitting the ground rang through the silence. Rei opened his eyes and looked behind him; a man was dead on the floor. His hands had a tight grip on a gun.

"He was going to kill you." Ozuma said, twirling his own gun and blowing on the tip for fun. Rei became, once again, aware of his bullet wound. Blood has soaked the side of his shirt where he was shot. The pain was intense; Rei squeezed his arm, hoping it would go away. Ozuma sighed at how pathetic the Chinese boy was.

"Let me see that wound…" Ozuma walked over to Rei, who was kneeling…

"ID please…"

The guard with the sunglasses demanded as Kai and Lee approached the entrance of the front door. They flashed a little card bearing their 'name' and their picture.

"I need you to slash it in the identifier and press your thumb for the verification machine." He said.

Kai walked up and slashed his card, and then he pressed his thumb on the little square on the screen. Lee did the same, not as quite sure. He sighed with relief when the button turned green – it was ok.

"You may go in…" The guard looked suspiciously at Lee and opened the door. Kai nodded, walked in and lowered his hat. Lee stuffed his hand in his pocket and followed Kai. They were in disguise, and it was not comfortable at all.

"Let's take the stairs instead of the elevator." Kai said quietly to Lee, who agreed. They ran up the stairs and approached the third floor. They flung off their disguises, revealing their old cloths, which was much more comfortable to move around in. They pulled out their guns for when they reached the door for the top floor, they would need it. The top floor was where the actual assassination was.

"You know we could just go in with our disguises, and no one would suspect a thing…right?" Lee whispered.

"Yes…but…" Kai smirked. "This way is more fun."

"So far, so quiet…" Mariah whispered into her speaker to Mariam, who was who-knows-where.

(A/N: hey, they all start with W! who-knows-where is one word…-nod, nod- XD)

"I met 2…only…" Mariam whispered back.

"Oh!" Mariah gasped and closed her eyes. She pulled her trigger…

-Ping-

-Thud-

"I can never get used to this gun…" Mariah grumbled as she walked on.

"I'll arrange a dagger for you, if you want. It seems like you prefer using hand-to-hand weapons."

"Yeah, thanks…but let's talk about that later…"

"Good idea…"

Mariam wandered around the shadows, trying not to be seen, if there were anyone. Then she felt a hand on the back of her neck, Mariam's eyes widened in surprise. The man forced her to drop the gun she was holding.

"Don't make a sound, or I will shoot." The man whispered; the cold steel top of the gun pressed against Mariam's temple. Shit! This usually never happens! Mariam thought as she slowly felt her way to her 2nd gun strapped to her waist. She slowly and carefully pulled it out as the man continued to babble threats in her ear.

"…If you don't want that to happen, you better tell me who are with you and where they are." He concluded.

"If I knew, do you think I'd be alone?" Mariam replied as she turned her head to face the man. She pulled the trigger as she aimed.

-Ping-

The man clutched his stomach. He gritted his teeth and raised a shaking hand, the hand held his gun. He shot.

Mariam felt cold metal skin her stomach as she tried to step away from the shot. The bullet ripped her shirt at the waist and went into the wall, causing a hole there. Shit, I almost got shot! She thought.

"Bad aiming…" She muttered and shot the man once more to make sure that he would not live. A pool of blood had formed around him.

"Mariam, are you alright?" Mariah whispered into her microphone, which was transferred to Mariam's headset. Mariam sighed. "I am now…" She replied and headed on.

"You newbies should really carry a first aid kit as well…" Ozuma grumbled as he tied a strip of cloth from Rei's shirt onto his arm to lessen the bleeding. "I mean, you got shot, but you just keep bleeding…and it is only one wound…" He jabbed a finger at the floor, mentioning the pool of blood.

"Well pardon me…" Rei said through gritted teeth. Ozuma sighed and helped Rei up, whose pain lessened.

"Want to take the elevator?" Ozuma joked dully as he headed towards the stairs. Rei gave a weak smile as he followed.

"So it's our job to kill the head guy?" Rei asked.

"You got it." Ozuma replied as they went up the stairs as fast as Rei could go…

---

"So why are we going up?" Lee asked. "I mean, if Rei and Ozuma are killing him."

"We are there incase they get killed." Kai replied matter-of-factly. Lee looked at him as if he was joking, or that Kai was a madman.

"How many times do I have to tell you people? I don't joke." Kai said, reading Lee's expression. Lee shook his head in disbelief, but he followed anyways.

"You know, no one is perfect." Kai muttered to Lee, "We're there to make sure they don't die from a mistake."

"Why do you keep repeating that no human is perfect?" Lee questioned.

"Because, no human is perfect," Kai smirked. "It's the truth."

Ryuki: Short chap.? I think…ah well, stick with it. There is some very, very slight Rei bashing for you, shadowfrostpanther… it's not much, but will that do? I don't know…I just want to make him bleed with a wound…ah well, Review!
