Chapter 4- Dinner with the Wongs
Kai woke the next morning in his family's run-down mansion. As he got dressed to get to Luguis', rats and roaches scurried into holes in the wall in fear of the duo-colored man. As he shut the door and locked it, we dragged his feet towards Rei's bar. Along the way, he ran into Lee again and Lee gave him a smirk.
"Hey, I heard you went out with my sister yesterday," Lee tried to strike up a conversation. "It was like old times, huh?"
"Yeah," Kai answered as he remembered the fun he had with Mariah again. As Lee continued to talk to him, he ignored him as he tried hard to remember what happened to him the last 10 years. Soon, a hand was wavered in front of his face and broke him from his train of thought.
"Are you listening? I said we're here," Lee pointed to the door and opened it.
Inside, drunkies of all shapes and sizes were crowding the bar, drinking their troubles away. At the counter, Rei was serving Tyson a shot of vodka when he noticed Lee and Kai walking inside.
"I see you're going to be a regular customer," Rei greeted as the two sat next to Tyson and Max. "What will it be?"
"Give me your strongest stuff in a large cup," Kai replied.
"My usual," Lee said.
"Alright…" Rei looked at Kai with concern in his eyes as he went off to fix their drinks.
"So, you found out anything about what happened to ya these past 10 years?" Tyson slurred as he gazed at Kai.
"Everything's a big blur right now… the only thing I remember are screams running his my head… people screaming bloody murder… and my grandfather and father…" Kai spat their names out in disgust.
"Well then, I hope you find something out soon," Max hiccupped and attempted to rise from his seat, only to be stumble on his own feet. "I've been here since 8 last night. I'm going home. See ya." Max managed to walk out the door and down the street. Soon after the blonde left, a man around Kai's age with pale purple hair walked inside the dimlit bar and sat in Max's seat.
"Hello, what can I get you?" Rei greeted the man.
"Hn…" he looked at him with his pale eyes. "Just a beer." Rei left him retrieve his drink. The man gazed over to Kai and gave him an evil sort of a smirk. "It's sort of a shame that these rich families were getting picked off one by one, huh?"
"It is a shame, isn't it?" Tyson looked over o the man. "What's your name anyways?"
"Bryan. I'm all the way from Russia. I'm in a search for a certain person that fled off to Japan," the purple-haired man, Bryan answered. He then noticed Kai jerk up and start to shake a little. "This person is suppose to be on this certain mission… but he decided to quit on us, leaving me to follow the poor thing until he gets back on track. I'll find 'em soon. They can't run forever." Rei served him his drink and Bryan took a huge gulp of it.
"H-Have you… found this person yet…?" Kai stuttered out, trying to keep his cool. Some memories of what happened those 10 years started coming back when Bryan's cold voice echoed through his ears.
"Sort of," Bryan finished off his drink. "I'm starting to get very close. Nice meeting you fine people," Bryan nodded his head, placed a 20-dollar bill on the counter, and headed for the door.
"Come back anytime," Rei eyed him until the door completely closed. He swiped the money from the counter and placed it into the cash register. "You came back from Russia just a while ago, Kai. Do you think you might know what he's talking about?"
"No," he lied. "It might be recent or something… he could be from our secret service or something." He then rose from his seat to leave when Lee caught his arm.
"I almost forgot. Mariah told our parents about how you came back, Kai. I was to find you to invite you to a little dinner with my family tonight, you know, so that they can see you again."
"What time?"
"It'll start at 7, but I think it'll be best to arrive earlier than that. Try dressing sort of formal, not black suit formal, just pants and a button down shirt formal."
"Alright. I'll arrive about 6:30?" With a nod, Kai left the bar and started to walk down the street. As he was half way to his house, Kai was jerked by his shirt collar and a gun was held against his head. "Why are you following me?"
"You know what you must do, Hiwatari," a familiar cold voice said in his ear. "I overhead your little conversation with the eldest son. At this little dinner party, I want you to assassinate the family, or else your you-know-what will never be released from you-know-who."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Bryan Pulsavki," Kai tried to remain calm.
"Ah, you remember my name, but you don't remember what your mission is," Bryan smirked. He released Kai from the grip and glared at him. "You've been assigned to murder the final rich family, the Wongs. If you don't complete this mission in a month, your mother and yourself shall perish off the face of this earth. So, it's each your little girlfriend, or your mother." Kai's eyes widen at the information. More memories flooded back in his mind, which wasn't taken lightly. The migraine was so powerful, Kai collapsed to the ground holding his head. Bryan smirked and said,
"See you tonight, Kai Hiwatari." Then, Kai blacked out.
That evening at the Wong's mansion, Kai was having a small discussing with Mariah's father, Rai Wong, before dinner was served.
"I do recall you having a serious relationship with my daughter before leaving for Russia," he stated. Kai nodded and found his shoe very interesting. "She was devastated when she came home that evening ten years ago. She hasn't dating a single man after you. And you come back, and she's was just like what she use to. Son," the old man grasped onto Kai's shoulder with a strong grip, "I'm glad you're back; to be able to make her happy again. I thank you." With those words, Mr. Wong left him to talk to his wife.
As dinner was about to be served, Mariah came down the stairs in a light pink sleeveless dress and noticed Kai standing near a wall looking lost. Mariah went over and stood next to him.
"I saw you and father talking," Mariah said. Kai looked at her and replied,
"Yes."
"If he said anything to offend you, I'm sorry. I'm glad you're here, Kai. How long are you to stay this time?"
"I… don't know… I hope for a while," Kai looked at the pink-haired woman and saw tears forming in her eyes. Before they dropped past her cheeks, Kai used his thumb to wipe them away.
"No need to cry, Mariah. Let's enjoy our time together without tears."
"Thank you, Kai. For always being here for me," Mariah's eyes started to form again with tears as the two embraced each other, never wanting to let go.
As dinner was complete, Lee invited Kai to the rooftop of another building to have a private conversation. As they traveled downtown in complete silence and made it to a ten-story building, the two walked up the stairs and to the rooftop.
"Kai," Lee began as he stared at the traffic below, "I need for you to tell me; are you in love with my sister? Because if you really think you're just gonna have a good time and leave her, then you shouldn't see her."
"Of course I'm in love Mariah. I have and I always will. I even…" Kai walked towards Lee and started to pull out a velvet box from his pocket.
Meanwhile, across the street from the building, Bryan was sitting on the edge, twiddling a remote on his fingers. He watched as Kai placed his hand in his pocket and walk towards Wong. "Perfect…"
Kai felt around in his pocket noticing that there wasn't a box, but some sort of pock knife. Before he could let go of the object, he felt this ting in the back of his neck, causing him to lose all control over his body. Kai lost control of his body. He eyes turned from caring to killer as he approached Wong. In a flash, he whipped out the knife and slashed Lee in the back. Lee let out a cry of pain as he turned around to face his attacker.
"What the fuck was that for!" Lee felt the blood trinkle down his beck. Kai didn't response but swung his knife at the neko-jin once more. Lee evaded the knife but felt another sharp object jab into his side. He looked up and noticed Kai had a larger knife tucked into his sleeve. "You son of a bitch…"
"You can't win, Wong. You might as well roll over and die," Kai's emotionless voice said as he walked towards the wounded Wong. Lee kept backing up until he was close to the edge, bleeding and coughing up the red liquid.
"You won't get away with this…" Lee coughed out.
"I already have… 10 families ago," Kai slowly stalked closer to Lee.
"Y-y-you're the assassinator?" Lee asked shocked. "B-but… w-why…"
"Sometimes just for the hell of it." Lee looked down at the traffic rushing by. He began to slip but Kai grabbed his collar. "Goodbye… Lee… Xaio… Wong." Then, Kai threw Lee off the building.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…" Was all Kai heard before Lee's body tore to pieces in the on coming traffic.
As he turned to leave, Kai felt a sharp pain in his head and he collapsed to the hold. As he lost and regained his vision once more, he saw Bryan was standing over him with an evil smirk plastered on the face.
"Congratulations," Bryan said. "One down, three to go." Kai didn't know what he was talking about until he saw the knife in his hand and the blood on his clothes. All he remembered as Lee talking to him before everything went black.
"Where is he, Pulsavki!" Kai managed to rise. "What did you do to Lee!"
"All I did, my friend, was watch you throw Wong like a football off a ten-story building." Kai rushed to the edge and noticed mangled body pieces and blood covering the ground.
"No…" Kai backed away from the edge. "NO!" He yelled as he ran so fast that he jumped from building to building until he disappeared.
"Heh… this… is going to be a fun month…"
It may have took me all night.. but I did it! Chapter 4! Please read and review alright! Thanks!
