Thank you so much to all those who reviewed! Arigatou!
On with the story!

"Please don't kill me!" The man stared in horror at the cold- blooded assassin clad in his dark clothes, who raised his sword, ready to slash him to death. He had heard of a man with crimson hair who killed with no mercy and had a cross shaped scar on his left cheek. His name sent shivers down anyone's spine. Hitokiri Battousai. He was the feared assassin ever to live in Japan.

Many of his bodyguards were scattered everywhere, the blood dripping. It was a river of blood. All was red and dark.

Battousai looked at the drug dealer with no emotions. He looked like a coward like many of his victims were. They were all weak. They had no right to live. Justice shall have its victory. He wielded his sword and said in a cold voice, "Die, Goku!" He plunged his sword onto his chest until he had no heartbeat. He looked down at his victim, his eyes wide open, showing how frightened he was. Battousai swung his sword so as to remove the blood flowing in his sword and placed it back in its scabbard like a swordsman. Then he left without a glance.

Kaoru flipped open her make up powder in the bathroom all alone, looking annoyed, she said furiously, "Belle! I have been waiting for almost three hours! Where the hell is that pompous ass? How I want to kick that assassin!" She half yelled as she continued, "I will have to use magic to get to that headquarters if I have to. I need to speak to the lieutenant NOW!"

The image in the mirror showed Belle, covering her pointed ears as she winced at her words. God, that woman really has a scary temper. "Calm down, Kaoru" Belle said, trying to soothe her. "I will connect you to the lieutenant immediately." Her image disappeared, and as Kaoru waited impatiently, the lieutenant appeared on the mirror.

"Yes, Kaoru?" was all he could say to address the already angry fairy.

"Thank God, Lieutenant! I have been trying to contact you a million times already. I have been waiting for that stupid assassin for three hours. I want your permission to use magic for my well being like create a car in a flash."

The lieutenant sighed wearily. He had been doing paper work since Kaoru had left. What was more, he had been summoned to an urgent meeting. He still had to finish the piles of work before he was through. Now he was interrupted by Belle from a call from Kaoru when the receptionist said it was an emergency.

"All right, Kaoru," he agreed. "But you have to freeze time before you use magic because I don't want to see reports from onlookers who witnessed it, and that would lessen the chance for you to be a Captain of the FA. Is that clear?"

For the first time in three hours, Kaoru's face lit up and gave a winning smile. "I understand, Lieutenant!" she said in a happy voice.

"One more thing, Kaoru, don't you ever dare use your magic in advantage to hurt human beings," he said sternly.

"Yes," Kaoru said. The image shut down, and it turned back to a mirror, reflecting Kaoru's face.

Kaoru snapped her fingers twice and everything froze. A boy with his ice cream was halfway to his already ready tongue sticking outside to lick his chocolate ice cream, his mother behind who was holding three balloons for her son. Making sure time froze, Kaoru took a deep breath, excited to perform her powers, she smiled as she raised her hand in mid air and said, "A black Volvo." Sparks of bright blue lights radiated from her fingers through the air, forming the car Kaoru wished. In a second the Volvo was gleaming new in front of her. Kaoru smiled at her success.

Kaoru went inside the car, buckled her seat belt, and turned on the ignition. "What a perfect car!" she exclaimed, then scowled as she thought of the killer who was going to be her partner. "Battousai, I'm going to make you pay for it." The car sped away, and time went on as if nothing happened.

The car stopped in front of a café. Kaoru got off the car and stepped inside. She smelled the brewing coffee as she made her way to the counter and sat. People turned their heads, looking at Kaoru and wondering who she was. Even the waiter stopped wiping the cup as he admired the beauty of Kaoru.

Kaoru felt all the eyes on her, but she didn't mind. Instead of feeling nervous, she said to the waiter who gaped at her, "Coffee, please."

The waiter snapped out of his reverie and automatically put down the cup in front of Kaoru, got the saucer underneath the counter, and poured coffee. Kaoru said her thanks and the waiter just smiled and went to do his tasks to other customers.

Kaoru took a sip of her coffee. She felt the warmth it gave her. She knew she had to go to the secret underground to begin her work. But she was too tired, since she waited for three hours. Kaoru sighed. First, she would finish her coffee and then leave immediately.

Battousai parked his BMW in the parking lot of the airport. As he surveyed the crowd in the airport, his amber eyes tried to look for the woman he was assigned to pick up. She was nowhere to be found. Where the hell is she? After waiting for a few minutes, his patience wearing thin, he left with a grunt. He silently fumed as he buckled his seat belt.

The sports car of the assassin stopped in front of a five star restaurant his employer owned. He went inside past the kitchen to a door that had a No Entry sign on it. The people working in the kitchen paid him no attention to who the man was for they were instructed not to meddle with a man with red hair, amber eyes, and a scar on his left cheek. A surveillance camera acting as the cat's eye of the door scanned the figure. Then the door opened on its own welcoming Battousai to enter. Battousai went inside, the door closed.

The room was empty except for a table in the middle. Battousai pressed his hand on the table. It scanned his palm, taking in his DNA. Suddenly the table slid, revealing a hidden passage of stairs leading to the underground head quarters. He stepped down the flight of stairs and headed straight for his boss's office.

The headquarters had an air of mystery. Inside a lab seen through a glass window, Battousai passed by, a team of highly skilled engineers worked their way in assembling a machine.

Battousai rapped on the door and waited for his employer to answer. When he didn't, he opened the mahogany double doors, for he heard voices inside. Strange, there was a woman's voice. Wishing he was mistaken, he opened it.

Kaoru stopped mid-sentence and looked behind her to see who interrupted. To her surprise, it was the man she so hated.

If Battousai were surprised, he wouldn't show it. After all he was an emotionless person. Or so he thought.

"You must be Hitokiri Battousai," Kaoru said in a sweet voice, giving him a warm smile, none of which showed her irritation inside. At all cost, she would remain civil to Battousai and finish her job quickly so she could go back to the Fantasy World and claim her victory of being the youngest Captain of one of the most top teams in the Human Criminology Section of the Fairy Agency. But something was telling her otherwise. She had a deep feeling that it wouldn't be easy dealing with him. So she had to work hard and know him first before taking measures. Be careful, Kaoru, she said to herself.

Author's Notes: Sorry, if it's short. Please bear with me for I have other things to do at home. Thank you so much for reading this chapter.
