Caught 0.2 Is It Fate?-Dream
Izumi was being cornered by some three thugs from last night, they're about to rape her until the mysterious blue assassin lad appeared in the picture. He had saved her in a nick of time and killed two of them leaving one alive. Izumi really could not forget that mysterious saviors. She remembers his mask, his blue assassin attire that catches her eye, and also those blue eyes behind his mask.
"Thank you, Blue—" she thanked him
Before she could thank to the mysterious blue outfit assassin, he suddenly faded away leaving the blonde haired girl all alone. Then darkness overcomes in her surrounding. This made her feel more scared than ever, then she was falling into the darkness. Falling into the darkness…
-End of Dream
Izumi woke up and found herself on the floor she really could not believe to herself that she hasn't getting any good night sleep. The mysterious assassin… Blue Wolf seems to be stuck on her mind. She couldn't help to herself thinking on that assassin.
"Blue Wolf…" she whispers.
-In the apartment
The boy in long blue haired was brushing his teeth while he was looking at the mirror. His blue eyes were gluing at the mirror, his eyes were seem to be very disturbing at something. Yes, he was disturbing at the beautiful blonde haired girl that he saved her last night, he really could not understand to himself why he was thinking on the girl that he had saved her from last night.
"Why? Why?" he questioned to himself.
Kouji was still staring at his own reflection, then he punched at the bathroom's wall.
-In the School
Izumi seems to be still lost in thought as she was still daydreaming on that mysterious assassin that she had met last night. Then she collides on someone that she wasn't expecting that would happen to her.
"Ah gomenasai! I wasn't looking." She apologized.
When Izumi looks up just to see the person's expressions, her sapphire eyes widening up as she saw some familiar person that she seems that she had met him somewhere. The lad in blue haired was also surprised as he saw Izumi. But of course even though he knew her as in his assassin, he must be careful not to expose his other identity.
"Umm… Are you okay?" he asked her.
"Yes. Thank you for asking me." She said.
Kouji let out a relief sighs knowing that she was fine. He took out his hand to help Izumi on standing up. The blonde haired girl could not help o herself but to stare at the bandana head lad's blue eyes. She told to herself that staring at other people's eyes would be really rude, yet when she sees at the lad's eyes, she thought his eyes looks so familiar and has the exact color of the assassin that she had met last night.
"Hey thanks for helping me out." She told him.
"No problem, also it was my fault for bumping you into this small incident." Kouji told her. "So see 'ya."
The cold bandana head lad turned his back and began to leave Izumi and headed out to his usual place. Izumi stopped him, and then Kouji turned again with his cold and expressionless face.
"What is it?" he said.
"My name's Izumi, Orimoto Izumi. Can I know yours?" Izumi said.
"…It's Kouji, Minamoto Kouji." Kouji answered.
Izumi gave out a beautiful smile, then goes to a different path, which was headed to the school's cafeteria. Kouji was left alone in the hall way once again. He didn't move an inch after but he just stood there motionless while staring at the blonde haired girl. Then his pal, Takuya appeared.
"Hey Kouji. Where were you?" he asked him.
Takuya noticed that Kouji does not answered to his question, the bandana head lad was busily staring at the same direction where Izumi have headed to.
"It's that girl again…" he thought.
-Classroom
Izumi was sitting in her desk, she still has her thought wondering on the boy that she have met whom she believed his name is Minamoto Kouji. Yet for her, she wondered since when did Kouji appeared in their school? Izumi tried to recall from the previous weeks or months.
-Flashback
It was exactly for about three weeks ago, after their first day of school have started. Izumi was under the tree as she was trying to concentrate herself on her poems. Then she heard loud screaming girls, the sound that there are some hottie guys in their school.
"Hmm… I wonder what's up this time?" she wondered.
Izumi curiously looks up just to see what the girls are staring at. To what she just saw were some three new hot guys in the block. One is the goggle head lad, the other is the short blue haired lad, and last but not least was somehow looks the same to the lad in short haired, except he has his long blue haired tied neatly and a blue bandana over his head.
"Hmmm…" she thought.
Even though those three seemed to be really hot but she wasn't interesting on them. So in other words, she ignored it and pretended that she didn't saw anything.
-End of Flashback
After Izumi recalled some of her unimportant memories, her face suddenly turned sour knowing that the boy she just met just this morning was the one who became one of her classmates. It was only a darn luck that Izumi gets to be a classmates with the three new hot guys who are called, Kanbara Takuya the hot headed goggle lad; Kimura Kouichi, the kind and wise short-blue-haired lad; and lastly was Minamoto Kouji the guy that she have met that morning.
"I never thought that they're also one of my classmates…" she mutters softly.
"Whom are you talking about, Izumi-chan?" someone called her.
Izumi turned her head and got shocked as she saw someone very familiar. It was Kanbara Takuya. The lad was smiling excitedly to the blonde haired beauty. Then next to him was Minamoto Kouji, which made her feeling uneasy and uncomfortable, seeing him like cold.
"What is it, Kanbara-kun?" she asked him.
"I was wondering if you have any idea what's our homework on Math." Takuya asked her.
"You don't say…" Izumi said as she was making the face.
"Takuya forgotten the page on our math since, we've been practicing soccer." Kouji answered.
"I see…" Izumi whispered.
While Izumi was busily talking to Takuya about the homework, Kouji was staring at the blonde haired girl secretly. Not knowing for himself that he was feeling uneasy as Izumi was talking freely to the goggle head lad. So he left the room without saying anything about his leaving. Takuya and Izumi have saw the bandana head lad leaving.
"Hmm… What's with him? He's acting very strangely…" Takuya said.
"Are? What do you mean, Kanbara-kun?" she asked him curiously.
"It's just that, I've never seen him acting like more emotional than before. He always tends to be cool and emotionless. I wonder what happen to him." He explained.
-Class dismissed, in the field
School has finally ended for the students, Izumi was walking out of the school as she was heading out to the field. Since she has nothing to do, all she could do for now is to watch the practice.
"Sugoi! Minamoto-kun's skills are truly excellent." She said.
A group of girls were coming closer to Izumi, the blonde haired girl started to feel a cold shiver as she recognize the group of girls. They were holding a banner of blue and white text that was written 'MINAMOTO KOUJI FAN CLUB'. Wait a minute, fan club? Just when did that was formed? Also why are they coming closer to Izumi?
"Oi, Orimoto-san. What the heck you were doing with OUR Minamoto Kouji?" the head of the fan club asked her.
"What do you me—" Izumi was about to say something except they interrupt her.
"One of our club members has seen you were talking to Minamoto Kouji this morning." They said.
"Ah! Darn it. I never realized that Minamoto-kun has a club." She whispers.
The Minamoto Kouji Fan Clubs surrounded Izumi, she really didn't know that Kouji would have a fan club that the girls have made. Yet she was once heard that if a member of the Minamoto Fan Club saw you with Kouji, they'll be either punishing them or they'll force them to tell you to leave him alone or they'll persuade you for joining their club. Izumi took a small glomps. She really did not want to happen to her, especially for joining the club.
Far from them, Kouji have saw Izumi was being surrounded by his fan clubs, the blonde haired girl was scared at the group of girls. Kouji was about to ignored it and pretend that he did not saw that but something have stopped him as he saw Izumi was scared and feeling insecure to the crowds. This made Kouji feeling so hurt when he saw the innocent blonde haired girl being surrounded his fans. Without thinking he kicks the ball hard, which goes to the direction where Izumi and the fan clubs directly then it kick to the club leader's head.
"Are you all right?" he asked them.
"Hai! Minamoto-kun your kick was superb!" the leader of the club exclaimed with starry eyed.
Kouji gave out a pretend relief sighs, and then he turned his head to Izumi. Then he turned his head to his fan clubs again.
"You're teasing, Orimoto-san?" he asked them.
"Ah… no, Minamoto-kun. We're just talking." They said.
"Oh… If you did something bad to her, I may not to speak with you all." He told them.
The girl fan club stared at the long blue haired lad with shocking expressions, including for Izumi. Was Kouji trying to protect her from his fan clubs? They questioned to their selves. Before Kouji was about to leave, he suddenly pulled Izumi along with him, which made the other girls felt so jealous knowing how lucky she was.
"Hey Kouji are you—" Takuya said.
"I'll skip practice for now, Takuya. I forgot that I have something to do for today." Kouji lied to him.
Takuya was about to say something back to Kouji, but when he saw Kouji was holding Izumi's hand then to the fan clubs. He then understood what Kouji was trying to do.
"Alright, Kouji. I'll tell couch about this." He said.
Kouji gave an understanding nod, then he got his stuffs and goes out of the field pulling Izumi along with him. The blonde haired girl was still confused yet for somehow she felt really comfortable towards Kouji. By the time when they're already outside of their school, they noticed that no one was following them behind.
"Umm… Thank you very much, Minamoto-kun." She thanked him.
"…" That's the only response for Kouji.
"Errr… Anyway, I'll be going home now. Thanks." She said.
"Just be careful, when the night comes. Who knows there might be some bad guys trying to seduce you. Okay?" he advised her.
The cold bandana head lad turned his back and goes to a different path from Izumi. The blonde haired girl stared at him so confusedly.
"What's with him? He's so mysterious…" she whispers.
Far away from Izumi, a man who was a bout in his middle 30s and he was wearing in a formal suit was hiding behind the shadow of the lamppost. He was watching at the beauty blonde haired girl with an evil smile that was forming on his face.
"Such a pretty teen girl she is." He said.
To where Kouji was, the bandana head lad was still walking on the streets. Then he suddenly stopped himself when he had reached at the corner of the streets.
"You can come out now. I know you've been following me." He said.
There appeared a young lad in about in his thirteen, probably he is about in 9th grade. The young boy was wearing in his assassin outfit, he was wearing in white long sleeve shirt, a sleeveless white polo with the mark of a bear behind his back, brown shorts that reaches only 2 or 4 inches above his knees, and he was also wearing some similar mask, except his mask's like a bear. He has small brown messy hair and pair of sapphire eyes, which reminds Kouji the color of Izumi's eyes. Wait a minute why was he thinking of Izumi? He mentally shook his head and focused on what he was doing.
"Tell me, why are you here now?" he asked the young thirteen boy.
"You know very well, Kouji. Is to report you on your next mission." He boy answered.
Kouji gave out a smirk, "Lemme guess. 'That' person told you if there is a chance you'd met me, you'll deliver the message to me, am I right, Himi Tomoki?" he said.
"FOR YOUR INFORMATION IT'S SHIROI KUMA! YOU THINK YOU FORGOT THE IMPORTANT RULE!" the boy yelled.
"Yeah, yeah." Kouji whispered.
"You know it all, Kouji." He said with a smirk. "Iie, Blue Wolf."
A sudden wind blew the atmosphere. Kouji was no longer wearing in his normal outfit like one of the citizen and a normal Junior High school student do. He young bandana head lad was wearing in his assassin outfit once more, with his mask on.
"So what's this so call new mission of mine?" he said very coldly.
"I thought you'd never ask, Blue Wolf…" Shiroi Kuma said.
-Blue Wolf's Mission
Blue Wolf was off to his mission once again this time his new mission is to get another one of the missing documents that had been taken away by a foster business man from the orphan houses. Also is to kill the head and its people. This what Blue Wolf really wanted, is to kill someone who is in a high position. He had arrived at the house where his target was living. It was actually enormous and too splendid as a rich guy for that greedy person. Blue Wolf has entered the room, and then he began his search for the documents.
The cold blue assassin was about to search in the next one, but he suddenly heard a small footsteps that was coming from the distance, which no one could've heard it but only Blue Wolf could heard it. It was also one of his special abilities on hearing footsteps from distances also if the door was closed. He quickly hid himself and disguised himself as the wall. It was one of his techniques that were very useful for their missions. While hiding in it, he carefully sees it through with a secret hole for the eyes.
He was observing at it very carefully, and then his eyes lay on the old man. Who is knowingly his newest target that Shiroi Kuma has told him about the information to his mission. The middle-aged man was alone, just as what his comrade said, but something else's different that he just read from his data collected by Shiroi Kuma's researches. He was watching at him very carefully until the old man dragged a familiar person that he wasn't expected it would happen. The old man took out a young person who might be about in its teenage, the person was unconscious due to the knock out or something and the rope tied it very tightly around the unconscious person.
Blue Wolf took a small looked to see what the man had taken a person. To his surprised, the person was the blonde haired beauty, Izumi, who has lost her consciousness and has been tied to tightly that he could ever imagine. He gritted his teeth together.
"Darn, old fart." He cursed.
Without thinking carefully, Blue Wolf took out the tools that almost shape like a knife except it was pretty small and has a hole on top of it. The old man saw him and manages to dodge the technique.
"Call the reinforcement, there's an intruder in my room!" he yelled.
After for a short call, lots of bodyguards and others have arrived in the room. They all surrounded the lone assassin lad in the middle. They were all smiling so evilly and smirking, as they knew what they would do if they get rid of the intruder. Blue Wolf looked around to his surroundings, from what he sees they seem to be just small fries. He gave out a hidden smirk again.
"Heh! You're all trap, boy! Too bad you're just only a teen. There's no way you would get out." He said.
"Fuh! Is that what you have, bodyguards to your dirty paws?" Blue Wolf said which made him angrier.
"Grr! Attack!" he ordered.
Blue Wolf attacked everyone without any sweat that comes out of his skin. The guards were now afraid of this young assassin, as his attacks and his movements were scaring them to death. They planned out to escape and run out of their lives, but Blue Wolf would not let anyone to escape. So he has killed them all.
The cold-hearted lad managed to kill all the comrade of the greedy old man. They're all afraid to battle the single lone wolf assassin lad, as they all saw the scariest part. His eyes. Yes it was his cold eyes made them scared.
"This is the price for what you have done…" he told the old man.
And with that he kill everyone including the old man. As Blue Wolf had killed everyone, he was showing emotionless after killing all the men in the house. That's right, he is a deadly assassin who shows no mercy to anyone to whom he just kill.
Blue Wolf goes nearer to the unconsciousness girl and began to untie her very slowly one by one. As he was done untying Izumi, she was waking up slowly then she gasps as she saw someone that she knew.
"Blue Wolf?" she said looking surprisingly at the assassin.
"What are you doing here, miss? Didn't I tell you the last time not to go out in this night and ask someone else to come with you?" he said.
Izumi didn't say another word yet she cried and suddenly hugged on the blue assassin, which really surprises him. He had never thought that Izumi would even give him a sudden hug. Even though this must be the first time that he was hugged by an opposite gender.
"I'm so scared, Blue Wolf." She said.
Blue Wolf wants to remove himself from the hug of the crying girl but he couldn't do it. The shaken and feared girl was somehow tightening her grip as like she never want to let go him. Blue Wolf or Kouji could not help himself but letting Izumi to hugged him and cry all she wants.
"This is the second time I've saved her from danger." He told himself. "Why is it?"
