Alexander
Chapter Three: The death wrapped in quiet shades
'If you stop that means you have failed Alexander and failure is never tolerated. The body has limits but the spirit does not so as long as you have your spirit you can go on forever. Any advantage you have over your opponent is to be honed and used never ignored. Why do you stop Alexander? If you cannot handle training then how do you plan to survive the real world? Show me you are deserving of being a weapon Alexander do not disappoint me.'
The words reverberated through his mind as he stood in an open clearing in the middle of one of the few parks in Sunnydale. He was covered in a thick sheet of sweat with his hair matted against his forehead. He wore a loose black shirt and shorts along with black sandals. His breathing was deep but the tiredness was evident in the fact he could be heard for once since Halloween.
"Shintou Shinsei"(Electric Nova) he called out after running his hands through several hand seals. All around him chakra flowed before exploding in a beautiful white flash of electricity that was seen running through the ground and trees. Any person that would've been caught in such an attack would have been injured.
Suddenly after the attack sixteen kunai came flying at him but when they struck, his body vanished in a puff of smoke that cleared to reveal a log filled with kunai.
"Raiton Bakuhatsu No Jutsu" (Thunder Explosion Technique) Alexander yelled falling from a tree and finishing the last seal, sucking in a deep breath and he held it allowing chakra to build up for the attack. Releasing the breath a large bolt of lightning flew from his mouth into the trap that had launched the kunai utterly destroying it.
Taking a deep breath he ran his hands through more seals switching elements now.
"Kirigakure no Jutsu "(Hidden Mist Technique) slowly the area around him fogged over until he was completely hidden and blinded by the mist. Yet he simply flowed into another set of seals ignoring the handicap and making his body adjust to losing its sight.
"Suiton: Suihou no Jutsu" (Water Element: Water Cannon Technique) breathing in again Alexander released a torrent of water this time soaking the tree and ground directly in front of him. The mist slowly flowed away as he released the jutsu revealing him once more finishing a seal.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu" (Water Element: Water Dragon Blast Technique) the water on the ground suddenly formed into a dragon that roared and launched itself into a tree splintering the wood and nearly toppling it. Jumping he avoided another set off trap that sent a flurry of shurikens at him spinning upside down in mid air he performed a set of fast seals and breathed in.
"Katon Housenka No Jutsu" (Fire Element: Mythical Fire Flower Technique) as he spun he spit out several balls of fire each scorching the earth where they struck.
Landing he began to move through several stance of taijutsu and his own trained martial arts. His movements flowed like water around the defenses and struck his imaginary opponent with deadly precession. After a few moments of this he jumped back and made four seals.
"Katon Goukakyuu No Jutsu" (Fire Element: Powerful Fireball Technique) inhaling sharply his entire body bending backwards. He suddenly leaned forward expelling the air and releasing a massive fireball that ripped some trees out of the ground with the initial momentum and set others ablaze.
Collapsing to his knee's Alexander placed his hands on the ground and poured what chakra he had left to safely use into the ground. Slowly the scorched patches of earth and tree's repaired themselves and the fires were snuffed out.
Falling onto his back he stared up at the moon while letting his body begin to recover from the exhaustion chakra use put through it. He had discovered why he had such trouble with using ninjutsu and genjutsu finally after the Winters job.
'The techniques of Itachi's world don't exist here the closest thing to them are illusionary and elemental magic's but even they lack some of the punch of a good genjutsu or ninjutsu. So every time I use a jutsu I am fighting the fundamental laws of metaphysics and thus my body is strained or depleted of more chakra then normal because of that fight. Chakra control exercises work though because I am using my bodies own natural energy to adhere to a surface or stay above in the case of water walking. As it stands I don't like relying on something that could potentially hurt me or take away from my energy incase of an ambush but as Althena taught me I will hone any advantage I have at my disposal.' He though while allowing his breath to finally even back out.
'Good thing G-dad and Buff are training tonight I doubt either one would by any explanation I could give for all this'
Getting up he gathered his things and set out for home and a nice comfy bed for sleep.
Sunnydale High School
Xander walked next to Willow and behind miss Calendar towards the library. Somehow he had been roped into some sort of computer tutorial this Saturday. He was actually amused by the whole thing considering he was just playing at ineptitude concerning school. That and school still seemed pointless and dull to him. The trio had run across Giles and Buffy and once more Xander watched hearts consume his father's world.
In retrospect Xander should have sensed something bad was coming with how good the day had been going. Outside the Library they were stopped by police officers who spoke with Giles about a body found outside the doors last night. Giles left with them to try to identify the body at the morgue and though only a brief flash Xander caught the fear in his eyes.
'Nothing good will come of this' he thought before heading off to class.
Giles Residence
Xander arrived home first and grabbed a package with his name on it before heading to his room. He was glad but also slightly worried that he had gotten back first. Setting the parcel down he unwrapped it to find contained within four steel racks each one holding ten clips of his different ammunition. Smiling he put the racks in a safe place and disposed of the brown mailing paper before setting his laptop up for a little entertainment.
Later that evening he heard Giles return home and another sound he wished to never hear again. He knew Giles kept Scotch in the house but never drank it yet he heard the key turn in the cabinet lock. Along with the sound of the cap being removed and liquid being poured into a glass.
Hearing how he speaks to Buffy later and the sound of the phone being dialed. He waited and picked up the phone listening in without even a trace of being discovered. He hung up at the same time Giles does and peeks out through his door spotting him look down at his arm and mutter something he could not pick up.
'Just what is going on with you G-dad?' He wondered before turning and going to bed.
Sunnydale High School
Xander watched Buffy head to the library to call Giles. It seemed he had missed some sort of Watcher duty the previous night. She had asked him about it but he had answered her with nothing useful.
He didn't want to admit it but he was getting worried about Giles. Heaving a sigh he got up from his terminal and headed for the library shortly followed by Cordelia, Jenny, and Willow.
Library
Walking into the library Xander found a sight that made him force down his reflex to draw his concealed kunai and shed blood. There tied to the chair was one person who had both helped him greatly and managed to annoy him as much.
"Ethan Rayne" He growled out before turning to look at Buffy with a questioning look.
"I found him hiding in the stacks when I came in to call Giles. He tried to attack me but it was nothing I couldn't handle." She explained.
Before Giles could be called a form walked through the libraries window and went after Ethan. As he attempted to make an escape in the ensuing melee between Buffy and the now known to be corpse Xander watched Cordelia knee him and suppressed a wince with the cheerleader's effective way of making the chaos mage stay put. Seeing Buffy push the dead man into the book cage he moved quickly slamming the door shut and locking it in.
Giles arrived a moment later and began to confront Ethan.
"Why are you here Ethan?"
"You know why I'm here Ripper. You've had the dreams heard all about our old chums dying. Ole Egyhon coming for us. Damned mark we have leads it right to us"
The conversation was ended as the book cage was ripped open and Miss Calendar knocked out. Turning towards the walking corpse Xander grabbed a near-by letter opener and hurled it into the things chest avoiding use of his concealed weapon yet again. Everyone watched as the body slowly dissolved into a blue-green good though no one saw Jenny's hand touch it briefly before she regained consciousness.
"Alright Giles what the heck is going on?" Buffy demanded of him even as Jenny latched onto him for comfort.
"it's nothing you need to worry about" he replied.
"But-"she began before she was interrupted.
"Stay out of it that is an order this does not concern any of you"
"The hell it doesn't incase you haven't noticed Miss C got knocked out by something we shouldn't worry about and if it plans on coming back I'd for one like to know what it is" Xander spoke up surprising everyone.
"This is none of your business young man and I will thank you not to involve yourself in the affairs of other people" the instant the words left his mouth he regretted them.
Everyone was shocked into silence by his declaration. That shock was removed a moment later when Xander slammed his hidden kunai into the card catalog leaving the blade embedded in the wood.
"Fine I won't concern myself with other people's affairs. To think I actually trusted you" he said with a shake of the head his voice dead and cold enough to freeze flame.
Turning his back to Giles he walked towards the doors but stopped before going out.
"You can save the world and your own ass without me this time Watcher" with those words the doors were shoved open and he was gone.
No one noticed Ethan slip away.
Giles Residence
Alexander stood in his room with a face devoid of caring or any other emotion. Brown eyes cold as a glacial ice were staring at the hanging cloak and other pieces of clothing he hunted and preferred to kill in. He reached a hand out letting it run along the smooth fabric of the cloak.
'What do I say at a time like this? I don't… I don't know what I am supposed to say and do in this situation. Is this the price of remaining human and living with my emotions? STOP IT! You're better then this and above such attachments. Do not forget your training now of all times and become a simpering moron. This is an opportunity and an experience that I will never have again. I have to understand the price of caring for anyone and the pain that being betrayed feels like if anything Giles has taught me a valuable lesson.
He pulled the cloak from the closet and then the rest of his outfit. Grabbing a sheet of plain white paper, which he ripped into small slips and laid on his desk he set to work drawing a single seal on each and then pumping a set amount of his chakra into each slip.
'Explosive notes, if these work I may have another signature to my style as an assassin' He thought as he tied some around kunai and others around shuriken.
He then began changing out of his school clothes and into his other attire remaining utterly silent the entire time. He'd just finished slipping his guns into their places when he heard the sputtering of Giles car approach the house. Opening his window Alexander jumped from the second story down onto the soft ground with ease before darting away.
Sunview Cemetery
'Such a troublesome night, here I am wishing to try out my new toys and the vampires seem to be taking a personal day.' He thought with some annoyance crouched in a tree hidden from view.
This was the third graveyard he had visited tonight and sadly the only presences other then his own were still just dead ones. It was getting to the point that he might try and find Buffy and the gang and join back in on this Giles thing.
The world seemed to smile on him for once as he spied a group of people leisurely strolling through the tombstones. Blood coating their lips revealed their true nature to Alexander who remained hidden waiting for them to pass by his position. His ambush was foiled when the wind changed suddenly and the vampires halted having caught his scent.
'Oh think you have yourself an easy target? I could say the same for you.' Alexander thought as he leapt from the tree and landed perfectly atop a headstone facing his six opponents. Face hidden by the high collar of his cloak and the straw hat he had opted to include on his hunt.
"Look what we have here boys, A ninja out for a stroll" one the vampires joked causing the rest to dissolve into laughter.
"You think he knows kung fu." Another piped up starting to gesture wildly and act like a fighter from a Bruce Lee movie.
Their laughter only grew when Alexander launched a Kunai into the shoulder of one of them. None of them seemed to notice the slip of paper tied around it.
"Look at this. He thinks a pig sticker like this is gonna kill me." The group continued to laugh even as Alexander retreated to a safe distance and the note began to smoke.
'BOOM' the explosive note went off engulfing all six vampires in fire and ending their existence.
"And yes I know kung fu you bastards." Alexander joked to no one before stalking away.
Dru peeked out from behind a tree after Alexander had gotten out of range of sensing her.
"My little kitten has learned another new trick. I wonder if he will play with me if I leave him a saucer of cream". She asked to voices only she could hear before leaving as well.
Sunnydale High School
Xander sat in the back of Miss Calendar's class keeping as much distance as he could between himself and his friends as possible. He had snuck back in last night and then left before dawn to avoid dealing with Giles. After a few hours of training he had shown up for school and began a game of 'avoid the Scooby gang'. So far it had worked and with the career fair today he was pretty much set.
The bell sounded the end of class and Xander was prepared to make a quick exit. Sadly luck would not be on his side.
"Have a good day everyone and Xander could you stay behind for a few minutes? I'll write your next teacher a note." Jenny calendar called out to her students.
'Troublesome woman' He thought bitterly and sat back down. Only after the class had emptied out did he look to Jenny. He expected her to try and talk to him about Giles.
"Why exactly are you carrying around knives in school?" She asked and if he was caught of guard he didn't show it.
"Mace just doesn't do it for me" he replied.
"Then why not buy a traditional knife instead of carrying around a kunai?"
"I like being original"
"Oh and it's a coincidence that the weekend you go to LA a director disappears?" She was starting to get annoyed with the boy.
"A lot of people travel Miss Calendar. Are you accusing me of killing someone I've never met?" he asked though his eyes revealed a coldness to them she had never seen.
"And what if I am?"
"Then the question is why I killed someone I don't know isn't it?"
"The answer is?"
A shuriken suddenly whizzed by her head narrowly missing her face and lodged itself in the blackboard behind her a few of her hairs trapped on the point. Alexander calmly got up and walked to the board pulling the shuriken out and slipped it back into his sleeve.
"If you want the answer you'd have to get me out of classes and yourself off for the rest of the day. Realize that by getting this answer you may end up dead the second you have it." His tone was deadly and lacking any emotion. It was the voice of a killer.
Jenny seemed indecisive for a moment before her curiosity got the best of her self preservation instinct.
"Fine lead the way but this better be worth it" she said.
"Worth enough to die for it seems."
'Besides Xander wouldn't kill me? Would he?' She thought as they walked out of the classroom.
The teacher and student slowly made their way through the halls. One was simply heading for the parking lot and her answers. The other was sweeping the halls with his eyes alert to danger in all its forms. Something in the school was setting off every alarm in Alexander's mind and he was determined to know what it was and destroy it.
Passing a few of the career booths Alexander spotted the light flashing off something around a female police officers finger, he saw she was wearing a ring. Gazing at it his mind instantly recalled the symbol etched onto its surface from one of Althena's lectures. Grabbing Jenny's arm he stopped her from walking forward anymore and leaning in close to her ear.
"The cop is not SDPD go on to your car I'll be along in a minute or two. You're not to come looking for me understood?" Unnerved by his voice she only nodded and kept walking.
Turning he ran to the career booth for the SDPD, which had a few people around it and placed a look of panic across his face. Shoving people aside he got to the female cop and made a show of being out of breath.
"You gotta hurry my friend he's getting attacked in the gym by a bunch of guys in leather jackets. I think one of them even had a knife." he said putting urgency in his voice and watched the lady take off for the gym.
Alexander smiled and followed her though stopping at his locker for a few things first.
Gym
She entered expecting to break up some sort of fight and then get back to work. If it wasn't for her cover in order to get to the target she would not even bother with such a thing. When she was through the doors though all she found was an empty and dark gym.
"It seems that the reputation of the great 'Order of Teraka' is severely overstated." A voice spoke from behind her where the doors were.
Spinning around, she drew her gun and brought it up to face her opponent only to find herself facing a pistol as well.
"How did you figure it out boy?" She asked.
"The problem with you Teraka is you feel a need to let the world know you're out there. It's never wise to wear your symbol where just anyone can see it" he responded in his dead voice.
"Why do you care my contract is not against you. There is no quarrel between us."
"Your opponent is me Terakan. If you wish to handle your contract you will have to get past me and I doubt you have the skill."
"Why do you care?" she asked again.
"I could care less but I was told if I ever met any of your Order to end their pathetic life"
"We are Teraka boy you cannot interfere with us"
"You are nothing" He stated flatly
"Useless second-rate assassins hired by people who cannot afford real help" those words seemed to set her off as she opened fire on him.
Alexander started moving his own gun discharging as he dodged and weaved away from her shots forcing her to turn and place her back to the bleachers. The assassin's last bullet seemed to hit the mark in his chest but instead of falling over his body vanished in a puff of smoke. When it cleared a mega phone baring the schools seal with a hole through it had seemingly replaced her target.
A second later she was grabbed from behind and feeling the sharp edge of a kunai resting against the tender flesh of her throat. Alexander's free hand wrapped around her waist and latched onto her gun wielding hand. He kept his legs in a position of leverage but prepared to protect himself from any backwards kicks. Leaning forward he whispered something in her ear that made her eyes widened.
"You were raised and trained by Sol-" the rest of her sentence was cut off as Alexander slid the kunai along her throat slitting it and ending her life.
Letting her body drop he reached down and took the ring off her finger before stepping back. Doing a set of seals he started molding chakra in his lungs before calling out the attack.
"Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu" (Fire Element: Dragon Fire Technique) releasing the stream of fire from his mouth he watched as the corpse of the Terakan slowly became ashes. The fire alarm and sprinklers went off a moment later and he turned heading for the parking lot.
Stopping at the doors he regarded the pile of ash with a quick saying.
"Je suis la mort enveloppée dans les ombres silencieuses" then he was gone mixing into the crowd like a shadow.
Graveyard
Xander remained quiet only speaking up to give directions to Jenny and then to simply guide her once they exited the car. Physically he showed no signs of anything bothering him. Mentally he was replaying the fight over and over in his mind. He had no qualms with killing demons or vampires but he had killed the Terakan without hesitation or remorse. He had followed his training to the letter and a part of him was scared to death of the ease in which he did it.
They stopped in front of a grave that stood solitary among the grass seemingly alone. There was a weeping willow tree nearby in which the soft California breeze danced and birds chirped merrily within its branches.
Kneeling down before the headstone Xander closed his eyes and began saying a prayer. Jenny watched nearby not wanting to intrude on the moment though she was surprised when Xander said the prayer in fluent French with no accent visible.
"This is the grave of the first person I failed and lost to the darkness. There is no body here no ashes or spirit to mourn simply earth and an empty casket" Xander spoke up once he had risen.
Jenny remained silent simply listening.
"I have no memory of a mother and father or a beautiful house with a front lawn to play in. Fact is I cannot even prove I was born or just created somehow I didn't even have a name until I was three." He placed his hand on the headstone at this point letting his fingers caress the rough stone.
"This is where you must make your choice Jenny. If I go on you will hear things that may disgust or even frighten you and you will never be able to go back. I will lay my entire life out for you including how it has changed recently. If I trust you with this it means I place many things in your hands and make you a liability to me. I could very feasibly come looking for you one night to end your life and protect my secrets. So I ask you do you want to hear this."
Jenny Calendar who had been born Janna of the Kalderash clan took a long look at the young man before her that she thought she knew. Before her was not the caring clown who took simple joy in lifting the spirits of others and helping out his friends or fighting the darkness because it was the right thing to do. He had been replaced by a darker version of himself that was cold, calculating, ruthless, and deadly. She had to know what had caused such a perversion in him.
Walking up beside the young brunette she placed a hand on his arm.
"Tell me"
"My name is Alexander. It is the only name I have ever been given and the only name I will ever need. I was trained since before I can remember by an organization called Soldats and by a woman named Althena living in a mansion somewhere in between France and Spain. The training I underwent covers a lot of things but it was essential to turn a human being into a living weapon to make them a perfect assassin. I was often in the company of two young girls. One named Kirika whose was trained in the mansion by Althena and Chloe who was always away from the house" and so Xander continued laying out everything about his life to Jenny.
"So you've decided to become an assassin again?" Jenny asked after he finished and she had gotten over the shock some.
"I need to find the truth out and then either return to Soldats or figure something else out. As it stands my most marketable skill is in killing for money and so far it has been very lucrative."
"Alright I'm in" she said in a rather perky voice.
"Somehow you just don't strike me as the type to hunt down someone and kill them in cold blood for money." He quipped
"You can't do this alone and besides while you might have some skill with a computer I think I am better suited to handle that end of your business"
"I seem to have trouble with peoples trust lately so why should I agree?"
Jenny watched him a few seconds before sighing and beginning her story as well.
"Seems no one is who they appear to be at our little school" he remarked before turning to walk away.
"Coming? Partner" he said turning his head back and watched the older woman jog to catch up with him.
"You realize that I will be traveling a lot and there is a good chance we're both going to die right?" He spoke as they climbed into her car.
"If not from Soldats then from someone else but I think we can handle it. Besides you're the one going out there to fight I just run the computer" she replied.
Alexander had found at least one ally.
Unknown Location
A phone rings in a darkened office and a man hidden in shadow reaches over to answer it.
"Yes?" he asks the person on the other side of the phone and listens as the person talks.
"Start sending him contracts through us we will test him out in our own way" he says before hanging up the phone.
Reaching into a desk drawer he removes a brown folder and sets it out on his desk.
"So you're awake Alexander let's see if you can help us with our problem concerning your old friend and maybe I can salvage you to use with Chloe"
Library
Xander strolled into the nerve center of all world-saving activity whistling a jaunty tune. He blinked when all eyes turned to him and did the only thing he could think of.
"Whatever it is I swear I didn't do it" he said holding up his hands.
"Xander where have you been I was worried that the Order of Teraka might have gotten to you" Giles said while pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"What of who? Could someone rewind and fill me on what I missed please? I'll give you a shiny new dime and a Twinkie from my private stash?" He asked feigning ignorance about the whole affair.
He listened as Giles attempted to explain everything with commentary from Willow and rude comments from Cordelia.
"I thought that book was supposed to be worthless G-dad?"
"It would seem I underestimated its value and use to Spike and Dru"
"So not only do we have a group of kill crazed nuts gunning for Buffy but also the worst possible thing for the enemy to have is now in their possession. Along with the items they need to use it. So how was everyone's career day?" He asked sarcastically at the end.
"I met a banker" Cordelia piped up.
"Ladies and gentleman lets give a hand to miss vapid airhead of the universe" Xander joked when she finished.
"So what's the plan besides sending Buff to hideout?"
"Actually Willow could you and Cordelia go to Buffy's and inform her of the ritual we discovered?" Giles asked
"Um sure" she replied and began dragging a complaining Cordelia out the doors.
"Xander I just want to apologize to you for-"he was halted when said boy raised his hand.
"Later when things aren't stressed and our lives are not on the line. Now I am going to run home and arm up."
He stopped at the doors and sent a smile to the ageing Watcher.
"I will forgive you G-dad but when this is over I think I will use some of the money I had saved for a future road trip and vanish for a few weeks." With those words he was gone.
Next Day
'Some days it just doesn't pay to leave your friends alive' Xander thought as he listened to Buffy and everyone and sizing up the second slayer that seemed the polar opposite of Buffy.
'Only I could cause something like this to happen. I am so going to need this vacation even if it is a working vacation.'
He was dressed in a loose black shirt with the netting patch on the front with black pants and soft shoe's. He was carrying two kunai and about ten shurikens on his person. He hoped it was enough to keep him safe with until he could get his gear after school. It seemed a Terakan had attacked Cordelia and Willow at Buffy's but they were saved by some guy Willow knew named Oz.
"So they need to kill Angel to make Dru strong again?" He asked after Buffy's rant about people harming her boyfriend.
"Yes and it must be done tonight under the full moon" Giles replied reading from one of his books.
"So then everyone knows that these Terakan guys are gonna be waiting wherever this goes down right?"
"Doesn't matter we have to save Angel"
"Getting us all killed in the process if you don't mind I think we should at least have some sort of plan."
"And while we're wasting time planning they'll be hurting Angel"
"So we are all to die to save one vampire? Do you even listen to yourself talk Buff?"
"Angel has a soul!"
"So do all of us here what makes him worth dying for because we didn't have a plan?"
"Xander I don't have time for your jealousy today"
"Whose jealous I just happen to be the only one with enough spine to tell you that your acting like an idiot" he responded.
The only response he got was the blonde slayer storming out of the library followed by Kendra.
"Well since she has decided to be foolish how about we get down to planning and figure out how to actually do this?"
"And what's your oh so grand plan doofus?"
"Easy princess the assassin that attacked you was made of bugs right? So we just need some cans of raid"
Church
'Troublesome, We walk into a trap survive it and the bad guy decides to burn us all alive. Spike is now one of my freebie jobs' Alexander thought as he watched the others escaping no one seeming noticing he was missing. He was currently finishing off a vampire when it suddenly exploded into dust around him.
Turning he found himself staring down another person a few feet away surrounded by the flames as he was. She wore a dark blue or teal cloak that was whipped about by the flames. Her dark red hair was neatly kept and her skin blemish free. Alexander found himself facing a pair of eyes exactly like his own in color and coldness. They were eyes he recognized.
"You've grown Alexander" She spoke first.
"As have you, Chloe" he responded even as a timber feel off to the side blazing with orange flame.
"If you want to find out the truth we will meet again. She wishes to see if you are strong" She said before turning and walking deeper into the blazing inferno.
"We will meet again Chloe of that you can be sure" he spoke before turning and leaping out of the fiery building.
Airport
"Alright you have everything then? Passport, luggage, and ticket" Giles went on as Jenny and Xander listened.
"G-dad I will be fine stop before you polish your glasses into oblivion."
"He'll be fine Giles what's the worst thing that could happen? If you answer that your second chance is gone"
"Yes well then I will be expecting a call from when you land and get settled and expect you back within three weeks understood" he said to which he got a nod in reply. Moving Forward Giles gave the young man a hug before excusing himself.
Jenny waited until he was out of earshot before turning to Xander.
"Everything is setup for when you land in Paris. You'll have two days to yourself before your job there and then you get one more day before you need to fly out to Rome. Anything comes up I will let you know immediately or if you get any other contracts that seem worth the time. By the time you call I should also have some info for you about other assassins in the area." She explained being far into this support role for his liking.
"If you find anything about Chloe or locate Kirika I don't care what time it is call me immediately alright?" he said in a stern voice before grabbing his carry-on bag and boarded his plane.
In Paris a pair of infamous assassins had no idea what trouble was literally flying their way.
Althena though after listening as Chloe told her about her meeting with Alexander in America forced back a wide smile in the manor.
Alexander was entering the game at last.
