JackalGod: Here's chapter 3. I let Akabane vent some built up anger in this one enjoy!
I sat in the back of Mr. Magaruma's truck coming back to Shinjuku after our job. Even though I have to admit I'm a lot less imposing when I'm not in my usual attire, slicing up random henchmen is a wonderful stress reliever. Except...
"Look Jackal I know you like killing but really it's just disturbing how you can do it with such disregard." I can feel my urge to kill rising again but force myself to remain calm
"As much as I enjoy your point of view Lady Poison. This is one subject that I would thank you to but out of." that shut her up alright. I chance a sideways glance at her and I can sense her uneasiness. For as long as I've know her I've let her say whatever and pretty much ignored her and I'm sure that my sudden indirect threat on her life has got her worried
"Rough day Jackal?" asks Mr. No Brakes. Now him I like. He doesn't take any crap from anyone even me, isn't afraid of death, even from me, and always gets the job done. Yes, him I like
"More than a little Magaruma-san." I reply politely as if I hadn't said anything to Himiko "But I'm dealing with it."
"You always do." he says and we end the conversation. I sit silently in the back of the truck for a good while before Lady "Bitch" Poison decides to turn around and have another go
"Look Jackal, you're not yourself today. Pardon the expression but what sticks up your ass?" my eye twitches in annoyance and I'm sure she saw it because she turns back to the front again. This time I can't even be bothered being polite so I stand up and walk over to her. I think Magaruma-san can sense the thickness of the air because he shifts uncomfortably in his seat
"Lady Poison are you trying to head for an early grave because you going to right way about it." I heard her breath catch in her throat and I can just faintly smell her fear but even so she keeps her voice as calm as mine
"If I was Dr. Jackal I'd insult something more dangerous than you." that was below the belt and Magaruma-san must have obviously thought so because he immediately pulled over to the side of the road and got out to 'have a smoke' as he put it.
"You're this close," I hold up my fingers about an inch apart in front of Himiko's face "to being sushi." threats aren't usually my thing but that girl was really pushing me to my limit
"Well then I've still got room haven't I" she replies. She must think I'm joking with her or something or she wouldn't have just said that. To prove to her I'm not pretending I summon my Bloody Sword right there in the truck and hold it to her throat. Her death is a flick of the wrist away and I've never been happier
"Jackal!" she screams and darts out of the truck I quickly follow and move in front of her replacing my sword for two handfuls of scalpels
"You seemed fine with insulting me before Himiko-san. What's the matter?" the look on her face was priceless. Now I know she thought I'd been joking with her
"Jackal control yourself!" she screamed and I'm sure my eyes have got that insane angular look at the moment. Not that I cared I wanted her to be scared of me. She's never been before it's always 'Jackal's way to polite to hurt me so I can be a bitch around him and tell him how he should behave'
"I've spent every waking moment I've spent with you controlling myself while I dreamt of slicing you to ribbons."
"You can't be serious!"
"Oh I've never been more serious. It's really unfortunate for you that you caught me on such a bad day. Every now and then I get sick of being so calm and collected. So I'm going to have some fun and I'm not going to hold back. And if you think of driving away Magaruma-san I'll be sure to get you next." I add as Magaruma was trying to sneak back into his truck
"Hai, Akabane-san." said Magaruma trying to keep from running screaming down the street.
"Now Himiko-kun. Shall we?" Himiko stepped back from me terrified, after all she'd never been –kun before. Ginji and Ban were –kun and I enjoyed fight people I called –kun. Calculation, not good for her.
"Can't we just talk about this Jackal?" I shake my head and dive at her, she barely dodges. I'm going to play with her first then when her screams become boring I'm going to rip off her limbs then I'm going to remove her unnecessary organs, like her lungs. Finally when that's all finished I'll pull out my sword and cut her head off and mount it on my wall. Oh yes life is sweet.
"Please Jackal!" she screams pulling out a vile of perfume I recognise as her flame perfume. I smirk to myself, speed comes in handy because even if she spreads the perfume around I can run through it holding me breath and get behind her with out running out of air. Just as I suspected she spreads the perfume around until the air around us is full of it. I contemplate simply running through but I think I should give her a fright. I breath some in and collapse to the ground coughing. I hear her walk closer a vile of antidote perfume in her hand. I look up and breath a ball of fire in her direction making her jump back to avoid being burned. I admit breathing the perfume in was painful but I got something better. I stand up and show her the perfume I'd collected in my hand. Her eyes widen in fright as she figures what I'm about to do
"Jackal don't!" she cries as I transform the flame perfume into two flaming scalpels and lightly toss them in the air.
"For someone who's seen me fight more times than anyone I'd have thought you at least know by basic abilities." I say tauntingly catching the scalpels and slipping them between my fingers. I admit I've never used flaming scalpels before so this would be interesting
"But I don't watch, even when you're right in front of me I try to ignore you." such honesty I think to myself. The thought of being ignored by someone eats at my pride like a starving dog
"I dislike being ignored Himiko-kun. So let's see what I can to with these, what do you think?" I casually flick my new weapons and she pulls out another vile. I recognise it straight away as paralysing perfume. So she wants to stop me in my tracks, eh? Let's see exactly how good Lady Poison really is. I dive at her again slowly allowing her to doge and spread her perfume. Mmm, Magnolia it smells nice. Damn I breathed it in. Stupid, moron, idiot, imbecile! I can already feel my body slowing down, right now I recon my speed has been cut by half but because of my stamina it won't drop any lower than that
"Well done Himiko-kun you've slowed me down. Now what are you going to do?" I ask still keeping my usual excited smile on my face. By the look on hers I think she was expecting me to either fall down paralysed or go to sleep, I'd say she was hoping for the latter. I watch in amusement as she switches perfumes again, this time she has her, uh, I'm not sure which one she has. Do I know this one?
"I'm sorry Jackal I didn't want to do this to you but I'm out of options that won't endanger either you life or mine." I wasn't quite sure what she meant until she ran towards me and started throwing an unfamiliar perfume around. On instinct I breathed it in and felt slightly light headed. I faintly remember dropping my scalpels but everything after that is a blur.
I don't even remember passing out
