Light scorched the black sky in a vein like pattern that carved itself across the bleak horizon. Inside thick globules of water hit the window pane with sharp taps, like someone sat outside purposefully drumming on the glass just to annoy people. Fire crackled off in the corner of the Victorian styled loft suite, a large oaken desk in its center occupied by an older man. His pinstriped Armani suit was a tad messy but then again he had just seen to the execution of a few old rivals, you didn't become boss without killing a few people.
Next to him, an imposing mountain of a man, in a similar suit though sporting mirrored beetle black shades. Before him was a young woman, striking in her appearance, sharp sky colored irises glinting determinedly from behind half rimmed round glasses. Her silky mahogany hair falling to her lower back in a perfectly twirled braided plait, slicked with rain from having been outside not to long ago. Dressed in a formal outfit, cobalt blazer with a matching mini-skirt and dress shoes, she certainly looked dressed to kill.
"So…Kusagashi-san…"the older man drawled in gravely tones, an idle curl of smoke wafting from his lips as a thick cigar dangled from them.
"Ikuzumi." The girl said tactfully.
"Ikuzumi then, what brings such an lovely girl to my office?"
She scowled darkly,
"You killed my brother, I want to know why." She breathed venomously.
A slow, coughing laugh accompanied her statement, the old man smiling at her lethally.
"Kiyomaru, owed us, said he neededmoney to pay for an operation for you, but failed to pay back. So we threatened to take you, but instead he insisted that we kill him."
Ikuzumi's mouth hung open in shock, her brother had said he saved up that money, and then he even died for her…. It brought salty saline tears to her eyes to think how much her big brother cared for her. There was a quiet thud noise that remotely graced Ikuzumi's ears, but she didn't dwell on it.
"So I killed you older brother? What are you going to do about it missy?"
"Kill you I suppose."
She drew a small revolver from her hand bag and leveled it, tears pouring down her face as her heart ached. But under the hurt blazed a flame more intense than anything, it craved revenge and she had to slake its unholy thirst. With two quickly moves her gun hit the floor and the giant towered over Ikuzumi, holding her still while he growled menacingly. Two sharp formal raps at the door made them pause, the door opening to reveal an oddly pale assistant, who slumped forward with the door. Behind him stood a young man. His golden eyes shined from behind angular glasses, his lips curling into a smirk as he stepped in. Ikuzumi studied the boy, such an odd young man before her. His hair was the most unusual, short and messy quills, crimson in the back that faded neatly into sharp raven, containing bangs that hung to the sides of his eyes. Dressed in a white button up long sleeved shirt under a black pocketed, patterned vest, black dress slacks, black leather loafers and the oddest gloves she had ever laid eyes on. Seemingly black driving gloves, had been transformed into something wicked, each knuckle sporting wicked looking blades, not unlike the straight edged razors of old.
"What in the hell! Who are you!" the boss demanded as he stepped placidly over the slumped aid, those finger blades glinting with crimson in the waned light.
"Simple…I am a member of the EnzerusnoZetsumei, you lead Sono Kasane, I'm here to kill you." The boy said softly, his voice chillingly calm as he surveyed the quivering older gentleman. Without a sound the giant pounced, but casually the boy sidestepped and drove the back of his foot into his opponent's lower spine. Gasping for air but getting no quarter from the boy the giant received a barrage of kidney shots from the boy, whose movements seemed fluid. Reeling, he hit the desk and huffed quietly, clutching at his side while his superior simply leveled his fingers gun like. Ikuzumi saw what she thought was a glint of metal before the boy pressed his thumb down, producing this sort of quiet whizzing noise.
"Might want to look at your boy, he looks a tad pale." He said making both Ikuzumi and the boss look to the guard, gasping in shock. A single blade jutted outward from between his eyes, liquidred slowly pouring down and around it as he sunk slowly into his employer's office carpet.
"You…you…."the old man stuttered standing shaking and retrieving a hand gun.
In but a heart beat, the old man cried out, the last image he took was of his assailant's wicked weapon's blades gleaming before they were buried into his gut. Issuing forth a soft sigh after all the dirty work was done; he spun to face the girl in the room, surprised at how she just looked at him quizzically.
"Oh, hello there, didn't see you." He chirped in a much gentler tone as a smile graced his lips perfectly.
"Who are you?"
A short quiet laugh was her first response,
"Well….my name is Aurei, why do you want to know?"
"Curious…"
"So…why is such a beautiful woman hanging around with scum like Tobinake-san?"
"I had business with him….."
Aurei smirked knowingly then retracted his razors before approaching.
"So…..what's your name itoshii?" he queried, stirring a dull cherry hue in her cheeks at his compliment.
"I'm Ikuzumi, not that it's really any of your business to know." she replied tactfully, not really trusting him.
"I see…. it's pouring rain outside, you wana come back to my place? Its a little ways from here, it'll be safer there for you." Aurei offered motioning to the door with a casual smile.
"Erm…..sure I guess."
After twenty minutes of silence in Aurei's sleek black BMW Series 6, 650i Coupe, Ikuzumi stretched a bit in the black Dakota leather chair she occupied with a quiet tired yawn. Unbeknownst to her helooked to herwith a twinkle in those honey dew drop eyes as he watched this lovely woman sleep, thinking about how beautiful and relaxed she looked that way. Sure he'd had his share of girls before, but of course nothing ever lasted, once they were close enough he'd reveal his line of work and they were off like nothing ever happened. Though Ikuzumi seemed to be taking it well, much to his enjoyment. Such a warm bubbly feeling filled him as he gently carried her inside, one arm supporting the neck while the other rested under the knee, Ikuzumi's few spare locks draping across his chest as she slept soundly. Slowly setting her down on the only bed in his place, he drew up the sheets then smiled.
"Amai mugen itoshii…."he breathed softly then shut off the lights and closed the door.
