WKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKChapter one- Life and death
Ken's POVGunfire echoed all around me as I ran through the corridors. This mission had sounded simple enough, go in, take out the target, the CEO of an international drug company using children as test subjects for their latest products, get out. But somewhere along the way everything had gone horribly wrong, they had known we were coming and had placed heavily armed guards in every corner. Each of us had taken a different section of the building and at present we were waiting for Omi to shut off the lights to give us the advantage we desperately needed.
"Check in there," I growled when I heard the voices outside of the room I was currently in. Every light was on and the corner I was hidden in would only conceal me for so long before they caught sight of me and if that happened I was screwed because there was no where else to run to. I'd made the biggest mistake of my entire Weiss career and that was to hide in a goddamned corner. Fuck why hadn't I just given them my bugnuks and said shoot me now? It wouldn't have been half as embarrassing that way.
"Omi, I need the lights off now, please don't tell me to wait a minute because I don't have that amount of time," I whispered into the communications device that was attached to my ear. I could feel the sweat trickling down my brow and could hear my heart beating so loudly it was almost deafening. I hated pressuring Omi so much but at present I didn't have another choice, if I was going to live I needed the lights off now.
"I'm almost there, hang in there Ken, it won't take long," the kid whispered, I froze when I heard the unmistakable click of the door being opened and held my breath, scared that any movement or any motion whatsoever would give away my position. I could hear the soft sound of shoes on the wooden floor growing closer and closer to where I was hiding. "Done it, good luck Ken," I sighed in relief when the lights went off and darkness surrounded the entire building, giving me the cover I needed.
"What…who's there?" I growled and leapt up from my hiding place, I closed my hand and pressed the catches for my bugnuks together, the claws extended and I dove down on the guard forcing the blades into his stomach and then ripping them out. He howled in agony and fell to the floor at my feet, after a minute the only sound that could be heard was the drip, drip of the blood rolling from my bugnuks and onto the cold wooden ground beneath where I was stood.
"I heard something in here, Ron are you ok?" Three more guards entered the room and even with the cover of darkness I was completely outnumbered. I charged forwards and took out the first one, using my bugnuks to slit his throat; there was a gurgle and a thud as the lifeless body collapsed on the floor. The next one fell just as easily, he was too shocked at his friend's death to even realise that I was there. He was obviously new to all of this an experienced security guard wouldn't have made such a mistake.
"Who are you?" The younger one asked as he backed against one of the walls, I saw his hand move to his belt and watched him pull out his gun. He pointed it at me and I had to dodge the bullet but it wasn't hard seeing as how he was too frightened to aim properly anyway.
"I am Weiss and I put a stop to criminal's like you," I snarled and sliced his entire body with my claws. He screamed as the blood poured out of his body before falling backwards against the wall. A deep chuckling reminded me that someone else was in the room and I spun on my heel to face them. A revolver was trained on me, not faltering once, this man wasn't scared, and he didn't care about the men that lay dead on the floor. He wasn't even shaking, I hated men like him, men that not even death could touch.
"Weiss eh? Ah I've heard of you, they warned us you'd come. To think I didn't believe them, until now that is. You must be Hidaka Ken, nice to meet you, after all aren't you supposed to be my executioner?" He chuckled again, which prompted another growl from me.
"I despise men like you, you think you're immortal and beyond death you think that the world owes you something, it doesn't. You don't understand what heartache and betrayal is for it has never happened to you but you have delivered it to others on so many occasions. I have met men like you before and I killed every one of them." I snarled, he chuckled and walked closer to me, I brought my bugnuks up infront of my body, ready to shove them into the anatomy of the oncoming man.
"And I hate men like you, you think you fight for justice but how do you know? Think about it you might kill a guilty man but by doing that you will hurt their families, families that are innocent. You're just as bad as they are and don't deny it,"
"I know, and I never have but I will be judged when I am judged and you will be judged now!" I yelled and ran towards him, my bugnuks still dripping with the blood of the other victims. Before I reached him he pulled the trigger on the gun and the bullet hit into my side. I fell backwards at the force of the impact and hit into a nearby wall just next to the body of the man I had just killed. The other man just chuckled and walked closer to me repositioning his revolver so that it was inline with my head.
"Really, I think you should be judged instead," he chuckled and I tried to get to my feet the pain in my side was almost overwhelming but I forced myself up. I ran forward again, bugnuks prepared to cut threw and shed anything in their way. The guard stepped aside and tripped me up before hitting my back with the butt of his gun and sending me head first into the opposite wall. I cringed and flinched in pain, the small click told me that he had pressed down on the trigger. I wanted to get up but the pain in my side had swelled to a height even I couldn't repress.
"Leave him alone," I sighed and placed my hand on top of the bullet wound, trying to stop the blood from flowing out of my body. It wasn't the first time I had been shot on a mission it had happened several times before and each time it hurt like hell. The first time Kase had shot me for instance, I was amazed he missed every vital point in my body the second time I wouldn't have been as lucky but Aya and Omi had forced me into a bullet proof vest.
"Oh and which one are you of the loveable Weiss team? I'll do what I want thank you very much and I want him dead." He growled, "Goodbye Mr Hidaka, it was fun meeting with you…"
"SHI-NE!" Then there was silence, I pushed myself up off of the floor and used the wall to hold myself up. I turned to see Ran stood next to the body of the guard, katana in hand and dripping with blood. He sheathed his weapon and then looked over at me. "You ok?"
"Yeah," I started to walk forward, biting down on my lip to stop myself from screaming out in pain. I must have moved too fast because a searing pain shot up my side when I went to leave the room. "AH!" I yelled and fell into the wall; thankfully I fell on my non-injured side and used my hand to steady myself.
"Come on, we need to get out of here," the redhead whispered and wrapped his arm around my waist to help me stand; I sighed and leant into him for support. I could feel my side going numb and wasn't sure whether I should be worried or grateful about it, at the present I decided to be grateful.
"What about the target?" I asked as we walked out of the room and in the direction of the exit. He sighed and glanced down at me shaking his head.
"He wasn't there"
"Dammit he got away; I should have gotten there faster,"
"No Ken, it wasn't our fault he was never there, someone warned him that we were coming for him. We'll be lucky to make it out alive," I sighed and tried to shift my weight so that Ran didn't have to carry so much he glanced over at me and furrowed his brows in confusion. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I just thought it would be easier for you to move if you didn't have to support so much of my weight," I explained quietly as I glanced around, checking that there were no other guards coming our way to rip us apart or shoot up to pieces. He adjusted his grip on my waist so that his hand was on top of mine, which was positioned atop the wound the bullet had caused, yet still keeping a secure hold on my body to keep it upright.
"Don't be foolish you're surprisingly light, if you need to lean against me then do so. If you continue to try and crawl your way out of the building because you believe it would be a convenience to me I will pick you up, bridal style, and carry you out of here." I chuckled at that statement but immediately regretted it for it must have pulled several muscles in my side that were currently 'out of order' as it were. I took up his offer to lean against him and glanced around to see several dead guards sliced up in tiny dice like pieces.
"Look's like Yohji's been here" I explained as we neared the exit he nodded and we turned around when we heard the sound of a light tap, tap, tap echoing in the corridor behind us. Ran's free hand gripped the top of his katana and flipped off the catch that held the sheath in place, preparing himself for battle. I moved slightly in his grasp and clenched my hand so that the claws of my bugnuks extended.
"Uh…I…I…have a message for the members of Weiss," the figure moved closer and out of the shadows to reveal that he was about Omi's age, around seventeen. He had long white hair and brown eyes that were shimmering with tears. His eyes widened when he caught sight of my bugnuks and Ran's sword. "Oh…please… don't hurt me…they paid me to deliver the message…I…I need the money…my mom abandoned us and I have to support my baby brother alone since my dad died. Please, it was good money,"
"Its ok kid we won't hurt you unless you give us a reason to," Ran explained and I smiled at him but that caused me to shiver in pain as the feeling began to return to my side. "Ken? Hurry up I need to get him out of here," Ran's voice had become harsh and cruel. I growled and glanced up at the kid that was obviously terrified of us. I sighed and motioned for the kid to come closer, releasing the catch on my bugnuks and causing them to retract.
"Ignore him, I don't know what he's moaning about I was the one who just got shot," I joked, the kid smiled but his eyes seemed to waver with worry as he got closer and saw my clothes drenched with my blood. "Yeah but could you hurry up I'm loosing blood here," I smiled and he began to apologise, he stepped closer and handed me a black envelope which was sealed at the back with a white cross made out of melted wax. "Who gave this to you?"
"I never actually met them, I work here as a secretary the offer was presented in an envelope like that one that had been left on my desk early last week. It explained everything I'd have to do and how much I would receive. When I agreed the money was electronically transferred into my bank account it's enough for my brother and myself to live on for ten years." He whispered, I nodded and smiled
"Hm, I understand, you're a good kid there's no need to justify your actions to us. Now, get out of here and go and look after your little brother" he nodded and bowed in gratitude before running off in the direction he had come in.
"Ran, do you think…" I trailed off unsure of what I wanted to say and at a loss of how to phrase it; he stared at me, perfectly shaped eyebrow raised in confusion. I shook my head and sighed, "Never mind, it doesn't matter," I slid the note into my back pocket and allowed Ran to assist me out of the building. We reached the exit five seconds later without any other obstacles or surprise guests.
"Ran! Ken!" Omi winced in pain and I smirked at him when I caught sight of the injury he had sustained. There was a bullet wound on his side, not unlike mine, but the bullet had only grazed his side and left a cleaner wound due to the fact that it hadn't got stuck somewhere in his abdomen. It was still a pretty bad wound though and looked nasty though that was probably the dirt and grime that had accumulated around it. Yohji was holding him up with one hand and smoking a cigarette with the other a smile on his face. No doubt pleased that he had come out of the mission without a scratch for once.
"Oh, Ken, are you ok that looks pretty bad?" Omi asked when he saw that Ran was supporting me and the bullet wound that had torn through my shirt and lower stomach.
"It'll heal, what about you?" The youngest member of Weiss chuckled and blushed, at the question.
"Oh this, it's nothing just a scratch really. Did the bullet go straight through?" Before I could even begin to answer that question Ran cut in to do it for me, not that I minded, the less I talked the less I moved and the less I moved the better.
"No, and it would be best if we got it out soon, the longer it's inside of him the more damage it could be doing. It should be a simple enough procedure; I'll take care of it when we get back to koneko." I raised an eyebrow at what he had said and glanced around nervously.
"Can't I go see a doctor, you know, a professional?" I asked, Yohji laughed at me and Omi giggled before they turned around and headed in the direction of the car. Ran growled and helped me in the correct direction,
"I thought you didn't like hospitals because they were too small and crowded,"
"Well…yeah…but…"
"And you dislike doctors because they ask too many questions and that unnerves you considering the fact that you are a member of Weiss,"
"Yeah that's true, how did you know?" He smirked,
"You're an open book to me Ken, I know a lot about you, I learnt it just by being around you and watching the way you act. Riding a motorcycle instead of driving a car tells me that you prefer wide-open spaces to tiny cramped areas. And being an assassin puts you on guard when ever someone asks the time of day." I smiled and nodded, he knew me so well. Good thing he was a friend and not an enemy or else I'd be screwed.
"Ok, but you? Ran since when do you have a medical degree?" He rolled his eyes and gave an exasperated sigh.
"I don't, but ask yourself this, who pulled out all of the previous bullets? Who cleaned up the stab wounds that left you almost entirely drained of blood?"
"Oh…I never knew…thank you and I shall trust you to remove the bullet which is currently still lodged within me." I chuckled quietly, his eyes rolled once again as he helped me into the car, seating himself down next to me and closing the door. Yohji was driving and Omi was sat in the passenger's seat. He turned carefully to face us and smiled weakly.
"What are we going to tell Manx and Birman?" he asked, I sighed and shrugged,
"The truth, that he must have got wise and moved out, Katsuya Iwata is being protected by some very powerful people but that doesn't mean he is invincible. We will stop him it'll just take longer than we originally thought."
"AH!" I screamed as another bolt of pain overrode my entire body, all I could feel was a burning sensation flaring up inside of me and making me forget everything other than the overwhelming pain.
"Ken? Yohji step on it, we need to get him back to koneko," Ran explained, I gritted my teeth and waited for several minutes for the pain to retire, it did just that and I slumped back against the leather seat on the car. Yes at present the thing I wanted most was this bullet out of my body and in a nearby trash can.
"Ken?" Omi stared over at me, with fear and worry in his childish sapphire depths, Yohji used the rear view mirror to check that I was still alive and breathing. He winked at me when he saw that I was and patted Omi on the shoulder.
"Don't worry chibi Kenken's gonna be just fine, no best friend of mine's gonna give up before we've completed the mission," Yohji joked and winked at me; again Ran growled and narrowed his eyes on the blonde.
"Shut up and keep your eyes on the road Kudou," He snarled angrily I smiled and looked back at Omi to see that he was still carrying the concerned friend look that he was all too good at giving. I smiled at him and gave him a victory sign,
"Yohji's right for once chibi, I'm fine, I've had a lot worse. Don't worry yourself so much one day you're going to give yourself a coronary." I smiled and he smiled back before returning to facing the windscreen. I sighed and yawned, it had been a long night and all I wanted to do now was sleep but first of all Ran would have to remove the bullet from my stomach and bandage me up. Yep there was still a lot to do, where was the glamour in being an assassin nowadays?
WKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKNotes- Yes I will be referring to Ran as Ran in this fic seeing as how Aya-chan is around and it would get confusing n.n sorry for any inconvenience,
This fic takes place after the end of the series so Schwartz are apparently dead and Aya-chan is awake.
Sakura is in this fic and she is still after Ran but he doesn't like her in that way.
The Weiss gang still work for Kritiker and work at the flower shop with Mamoe. The mission room is back up and running but they also have a warehouse nearby that they use to train and talk about assassination stuff n.n,
Ok I think that's everything cleared up, I hope you enjoyed and until next time goodbye mina n.n oh uh…whilst you wait feel free to review, it would make me happy n.n
