Chapter 2: Poisoned

Himiko's POV

/ Gone crazy in the middle of the night,

slippin', slidin' into heavenly bliss

Fallen angel, spinnin' from the lights'

slippin', slidin' into heavenly lace../

Huh…? Guess its morning…man, what a headache! I rubbed my forehead hard. Damnit! I knew I shouldn't drink too much! I should've listened to Jackal.

/ But its all

it's all right now,

coz we're livin' for this night for so long now../

At last! Refreshed! Good thing there was still some hot water left from the shower. I walked towards my answering machine.

beep -

"…. Ne, Himiko, I have a new case and you're included, can you go to the Honky Tonk tomorrow at ten in the morning? I'll explain everything there….ja!"

Hmmmm.. A new job. Last time I had a job from Hevn, included Ban and Ginji.

Sigh.

I hope they're not included again.

/ Yes it's all

it's all right../

I walked out of my apartment and to the streets. Dr. Jackal had mentioned before that I should try finding a more decent apartment besides the one I have now. 'A lady of my antiquity is not suited for this breed of neighborhood..' If I remember it right, those were the exact words that he used. But he knows that I can handle myself. I may look fragile outside but I'm as hard as steel inside.

Aniki.

If only you're still alive….

/ We're livin' on

hope;

we're livin' on

life;

dependin' on

truth

until the day we die../

I glanced at my watch. It's only eight. I lost track of time too much now I had to wait! Damn! It's still too early! I'm too lazy to go back. Guess I'll just have a cappuccino to buy me some time. I hope someone else is there though.

I opened the door only to find a man in white tux…

Wait.

A white tux and a shiny, round, dangling earring…ash blond..And amethyst eyes..?

"Ohayo! Welcome to Honky Tonk…Oh! Its Himiko-san!"

"…Huh?.." I just noticed that for the past two minutes, I stood at the door staring at the man in white. He looked at me and smirked. I closed the door and went inside.

"Ohayo, Lady Poison" he smirked.

"What the hell are you doing here!" What a way to start the day… first a headache, now this!

"Haven't Hevn-san told you yet?"

Great. I had to worry at first that I might be working with Ban and Ginji, but now, I have to work with him too?

Himiko: I still have a headache you know….I can't believe you let me drink last night..

Leilei: 3 but I did try to stop you…and you said you don't want to stop at all…hehehehe evil grin

Himiko: I want to sleep……

Leilei: you can sleep inside that closet if you want..points to the closet where he kept kagami

Himiko: and why would you want me to sleep inside a closet..?

Leilei: nothing! Hehehe…
