Caught 0.3 Another Coincidence MeetingBlue Wolf has not been able to move not even an inch since Izumi was still hugging at the cold-hearted assassin lad. As Blue Wolf just stay there, while hugging. He could have sworn that he just felt something warm to Izumi that he had never felt so good. That night was really special for him and Izumi. The night that he must not forget how important for him.
-Back to reality
Kouji was staring at the clear blue sky besides him Takuya was talking to him about his soccer jokes. To his eyes he doesn't seem to be listening at the goggle head lad's stories, he was in his deep thoughts about the past few days. Kouichi seemed have noticed at his little brother's strange actions.
"What's with you, Kouji?" he asked him. "You never act like that before."
"Hm? You were saying something, 'bro?" he said.
Kouichi sighs, "There is something wrong with you."
"I told you nothing's wrong with me, Kouichi." He said.
"I mean come on remember for the past few days?" the elder twin said. "Who was the one invited Izumi-san to our table?"
-Flash Back
Kouji remember from about their Wednesday during lunchtime, they were sitting in their usual groupie place where they mostly eat their lunch, well it only happen for sometimes. Kouji was eating his own obento while Takuya and Kouichi are eating the food that is on their cafeteria's today's menu. While they were eating as Takuya and Kouichi are telling on good stories, Kouji was somehow out of himself until he caught a glimpse of Izumi has an obento along with her. She was looking for a place to sit yet every seats were being taken now from many students inside of the cafeteria. This made the blue haired lad to feel pity for the blonde haired beauty.
"Hey Orimoto-san." Kouji called out.
"Ah… HAI!" Izumi said with a panic look.
"You can sit with us, if you like." He offered her.
"Come again?" she said.
"Sit besides me, Orimoto-san. It's better than nothing." Kouji said.
Takuya, Kouichi and Izumi stared at the silent lone lad with confusing looks that were on their face, even for the girls, especially the Minamoto Kouji Fan Clubs, were also surprised. It was darn lucky that Izumi was invited to sit with one of the famous and popular guys in their school. Most girls want to sit with their prince yet they were scared at his cold looks.
"If you say so." She said.
Kouji didn't say another word except he continued to eat his obento, then Izumi sat next to him and ate her lunch. Takuya and Kouichi didn't eat their lunch but they just stared at Kouji with a surprised look. After for about two minutes, they continued eating their lunch.
-End of Flash Back
"Hm? Was it me?" Kouji said.
"It was YOU, KOUJI! DON'T YOU REMEMBER?" Kouichi yelled in an angry tone.
Takuya stared at the angry older twin with a scared look and a small sweat-drop that was falling below his skin. It was unusual for Kouichi to become really mad at his twin. No not in public, yet it was very rare for him to become really angry or irritated at something. Then again, Kouichi did have a point for that.
"Hey Kouichi's right, Kouji. Why did you invited Izumi to sit with us from the other day?" Takuya said.
"Isn't it's obvious? It's because there are no other place to sit only ours had one more person to sit." The silent bandana head answered.
Takuya and Kouichi stared at him with the look that was written or saying, 'Yeah, right.' Which makes Kouji giving them a death glare to make them shut up.
"Don't tell me that you've gotten too soft for her." Takuya suggested.
"WHAT?" Kouji yelled at him,
"I knew he would yelled like that." Kouichi whispered. "Anyway what's so special with her?" he asked him
"There isn't…" he answered.
"Oh?"
"WILL YOU JUST QUIT IT! YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES!" he shouted.
Takuya mutters a defeat sighs then he has a sinister smile that was showing on his lips, which causes Kouji to irritate at the goggle head's face. Then he began to chase after the sneaky and running away brunette lad. Kouichi just stared at Takuya and Kouji running around the school with a pain look.
"I think it may take some time for them…" he muttered.
-Somewhere in school
Izumi was sitting on her desk all alone, she was staying in her classroom. She was busily reading her favorite book that seems to be about the history of ninjas and assassins. While reading in her book, she looks out behind her window and saw Kouichi reading his book, and Kouji was chasing after the hyper Takuya.
"Minamoto-kun… just came in this school right after Blue Wolf first appear here in Shibuya…" she said to herself, "Why do I sense that they're the same?"
While Izumi was watching at the three boys below, she suddenly gave out a small yawn. Next to her was another female who was about the same age like Izumi, she has short raven black hair with pair of dark ruby eyes. The girl was wearing in her black sleeveless turtleneck shirt, a pair of baggy pants and she was wearing the school's traditional shoes. She was Izumi's best friend, Kawagi Ayaka.
"What's with you, Izumi? You never get sleepy for the past few days." She told her.
"Hm? Oh I stayed up late working on something important." Izumi answered her best friend.
"Working on something important, huh? That is very rare for you to work like that." Ayaka said with the tone of surprise. "So what is it?"
"Ehe… it's a secret, Aya-chan." She said.
Ayaka was about to ask another question as she was still concerning at her friend's condition but now by the looks of her she felt that Izumi still would not answer to her friend's question. So in other words she decides to let her be until she was ready to talk about it. What was Izumi trying to make it? And what was her real reason for staying up so late?
-School dismissed
Kouji was about to get up to himself and prepare to head home. He suddenly stopped as something has caught his eyes on the edge of his eyes. It was Izumi who was sitting on the swing all alone. Kouji wondered and asked some questions to himself why Izumi was there at this hour. He went nearer to the blonde haired girl.
"Orimoto-san, what are you doing here?" he asked her.
"Oh, it's you, Minamoto-kun. I was just waiting for someone who could come with me. I just don't want to have the same incident from the previous nights." She answered politely.
"Why did something happen?" he asked her even though he already knew.
Izumi gave out an embarrassing smile, "Well, let's just say that an assassin just save my life two times. His name Blue Wolf, but I believed it was just his code name. I don't know what his real name."
Hearing his codename, Kouji almost got panic. Yet it was strange for him to have this kind of emotions. He never used to be panic or nervous of anything, but he pretended to be surprised hearing that.
"Did you just say Blue Wolf? But he is a cold and heartless assassin who could take anyone's lives." He told her.
"True that he's very cold, but there is something to him." Izumi answered,
"What do you mean?" Kouji asked her.
"When I first met him, he could've killed me back then. Then why did he saved me from the thugs?" she pointed out.
Kouji felt a lighting bolt struck in him and his expressions changed differently that he could not tell whether he's feeling scared or something as he heard what Izumi was saying. He wanted to say something back but he let the blonde haired girl to continue what she was saying.
"It's like when I look at his eyes… I could feel something different yet strange. Like he was scared of something from his past." Izumi answered.
Kouji was surprised at the blonde haired girl's answers, how could she see or felt about him? Was it because of his sacrifice on saving her? He shook his head.
"You must be dreaming or imagining things, Orimoto-san." He said.
"… I guess you maybe right. But you know what, Minamoto-kun?" Izumi said with a concern look.
"What is it?" he said.
"You and Blue Wolf seems to have similarities…" she answered.
"What?" he said surprisingly which is not good.
"Ah… it's nothing! Please don't mind me." She said. "Oh I'd better get going now."
Izumi began to leave the silent and cold lad, and she started to head her way home. As she walks she notices Kouji was walking along with her, which surprises the blonde haired girl.
"I'll walk home with you… That is you're okay with it." He said.
Izumi smiled at him, "I don't mind." She answered. "So where do you live?"
"I live an apartment that was far from here, probably it takes only 20 minutes walk." He answered.
"Really? I also live in an apartment too." Izumi exclaimed. "Which apartment are you living?"
"Umm… that is." He said. "I forgot."
"I see…" she said.
Kouji and Izumi were been walking in the streets for about fifteen minutes, they realized for themselves that they're in a different matter for each other. And they're staring to feel uneasy.
"Why do I get to feel that way?" Kouji asked himself.
"Oh gosh… why am I feeling the heat increasing me up?" Izumi wondered.
While they were still walking in the streets, Kouji was beginning to feel some strange feelings that he had never felt that before. As he was about to talk to the blonde haired beauty, he suddenly saw a familiar figure that he seems to know very well.
"I'd better go now, Orimoto-san. I just remember that I have important things to do." He said.
"Wait wher—" Izumi said.
With that the bandana head lad soon speed up fast then Izumi ran after the blue haired lad but when she got to the next corner, she saw nothing. Only dusts and unpleasant looks or scenes in that place, she looked around. Kouji wasn't there anymore.
"He's way too fast." She said to herself.
Above one of the top places, Kouji was there again as he keeps an eye on Izumi leaving. Then he sighs softly as he saw her leaving. Next to him was another lad who was about a year older than him. He was wearing in his assassin outfit his main colors are yellow and blue.
"Next time not in this place." Kouji told the person.
"That was a close one, Kouji." Said the older lad. "You must be careful."
"Yeah If I didn't careful to myself she'll finds out my other identity, Shibayama Junpei." He said.
"MUST I REMIND YOU THAT IT'S THUNDER BEETLE, KOUJI!" the lad called Junpei yelled at him.
"Nope… but no one's here. So it's safe." Kouji answered calmly.
"Yeah right…" he mutters.
"Now time to go for my other thing to do." Said the cold lad.
With that, Kouji and Junpei disappeared in that scene again. Like most assassins always did most of the time when night comes and times for their other job in his life. They went to the building that was seemed very far away from the school. When they entered at that room, when they've reached there, Kouji wore in his usual assassin outfit, this time he is wearing much cooler outfit than before. While they were walking down, Blue Wolf suddenly felt something heavy that fell down on his back,
"WHAT THE FU!" he yelled. "Shiro Kuma, this isn't the time to play around."
The young fourteen-year-old assassin boy looked up at Blue Wolf and gave out a sinister smile that made Thunder Beetle to tense up at his smile.
"Ehehehehe! You've finally came, Blue Wolf." Shiro Kuma said.
Blue Wolf took out his mischievous smirk that was forming on his lips, "Of course I'll come, after all Killing is my mission." He said.
"You're damn right, Kou—I mean Blue Wolf." Said another familiar
"So you're also here, Takuya, Kouichi… no Akai Eagle, Black Mode Leo…" he said.
Kouji or Blue Wolf saw Takuya and Kouichi who were standing in front of the silent blue haired lad. This time, Kouichi and Takuya aren't wearing in their normal clothes instead they're also wearing in their assassin attires just like Blue Wolf was wearing one. Kouichi was wearing in a long sleeve maroon shirt except his right sleeve was torn into a half sleeve, a sleeveless black jacket over his shirt with a symbol of a Leo behind his back. Just like Kouji he was wearing a cloth mask that covers his blackish blue hair like a bandana except his were also black just like to his jacket's color.
Next to Kouichi, was Takuya, the goggle head lad was wearing a torn red jacket over to his crimson torn shirt, his jacket has the symbol of an eagle, he has brown Capri pants with black boots that fits to his good looks.
"It looks like you came a half hour late, Blue Wolf." Kouichi or Black Mode Leo said.
"Shut the hell up, Black Mode Leo." He said. "Is Mishida-sama still waiting for me, Akai Eagle?"
"Yep. You'd better get in there." Takuya or Akai Eagle informed him.
Blue Wolf entered the room leaving Akai Eagle, Black Mode Leo, Shiro Kuma and Thunder Beetle behind. As he entered the room he closed the door very slowly then it becomes very dark in the room.
"You're late, Blue Wolf." Someone said.
Blue Wolf had his face in front of the person. There was a lad who was about in his age of 40s or 30s was sitting behind the desk, he has both of his hands were placed under his chin. Blue Wolf looked directly at the man's eyes.
"Sorry 'bout that, Mishida-sama. There are some things that I must do before doing this mission." He lied.
"Hm? That is so unusual for you Blue Wolf." Said the man called Mishida,
"What?" Blue Wolf asked him
"Nothing. Let's get on with this. And this time you'll be working out with your groups." He said. "Also, don't give me that look, will you?"
Blue Wolf didn't say another word to his boss but only a silent stare at the boss. Just when Mishida was about to ask another further question yet he didn't, as he may know what Blue Wolf would answer.
"In that case, I won't question or tell you again, Blue Wolf…" he said. "Akai Eagle, Black Mode Leo, Shiro Kuma and Thunder Beetle you may enter this room now." He ordered.
The other young lad assassins were gathering together inside of the meeting room of Mishida. The boys had the smile that was pasting on their face, which Mishida and Blue Wolf knew what they're excited about.
"So what is it, this time, Mishida-sama?" Akai Eagle asked him.
"For your next mission, you'll be hunting out this politician who was called, Atsuruki Hideyama. He works for the government but he isn't trustworthy, as people have seen him. He only works for money to use on gambling." He explained.
"Another mean politician for the government, huh?" Shiro Kuma muttered.
"If you manage to finish this mission. I'll give you a whole month break as a reward." Mishida announced.
The assassin gang all went to their mission as they were instructed by Mishida's high intelligent. Later on they've finally arrived at Atsuruki Hideyama's house. Just like what Mishida have informed them, there are lots of bodyguards. Blue Wolf seemed to be very excited on this mission yet for somehow he felt something unusual as he seems to sense something that he doesn't know. Black Mode Leo and Akai Eagle noticed at their member but they didn't ask him.
"Okay let's the fun… BEGIN!" Thunder Beetle announced.
With that they've started on killing one guard to another. The guards were about to contact and inform the others that there's intruders in the house yet Blue Wolf or Akai Eagle have managed to killed them before contacting. The first floor was already finished off, next is the second floor where their main target was held on.
"ATSURUKI! YOU'D BETTER GET OUT OF HERE! THERE—" the guard said.
"No use to say it." Black Mode said and he slashed at the guard's back with his double katana.
"Next is our main target…" said Shiro Kuma.
They all gathered around, some of them were covered with bloods from the bodyguards whom they killed. While some suffered the bruise and lumps that they've received from their battles. Only Blue Wolf has few bloodstains on his wolf mask. They all entered the room, there was an old man who was shaking in fear…
"GO AWAY! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" Hideyama screamed.
"Atsuruki Hideyama you are sinned from using the money of gambling instead helping out with other in need." Shiro Kuma told him.
"If only you didn't think of that carefully this wouldn't happen to you." Black Mode supported to Shiro Kuma,
"This is the end Atsuruki Hideyama…" Blue Wolf whispered.
Without any reaction for the lone assassin, Blue Wolf slashed with a cross on Atsuruki Hideyama's back and chest with only one blow of his katana. With that the evil politician was killed.
"Yes! We can finally get a break!" Akai Eagle exclaimed.
"AKAI EAGLE!" Black Mode Leo yelled at him angrily.
"You should be careful of that." Thunder Beetle told him.
"Hey where's Blue Wolf?" asked Shiroi Kuma.
Thunder Beetle, Akai Eagle and Black Mode Leo looked around, Shiroi Kuma was right. There was no sight of Blue Wolf anywhere in this area.
"Where the hell could he be?" Akai Eagle exclaimed very angrily.
Without any warning Thunder Beetle was about to hold on Akai Eagle's arms just to prevent on something drastic that he may up to. But he was too late Akai Eagle has already gone to his angry limit as he rages out in the room. Thunder Beetle and Shiro Kuma were having difficult times on claming down the hotheaded lad, while Kouichi stared at the red guy with irritated looks.
"Here he goes again…" Black Mode Leo mutters. "Always goes ahead of us after the mission is done."
"Yep he's the same as we all know." Shiro Kuma commented.
-Where Blue Wolf or Kouji was
The silent and cold-hearted killer was jumping above at each house rooftops one by one. He has no idea on going to different direction except he has a strange sensation that he must follow his instinct.
"Why do I get a feeling that I must go there?" he asked himself confusedly.
While Blue Wolf was jumping across the houses' rooftops, Izumi was sitting on the swing again but this time she's in the park that was near the apartment. She was waiting for someone again, but who could that really be?
"I wonder where he could be?" she wondered.
Izumi waited for someone to arrive, she glanced at her own wrist looking at a purple watch. The watch's short hand was pointed at eight while the watch's long hand landed at one minute before it pointed at nine.
"My it's already late… Maybe I won't get a chance to see him…" she whispered.
The blonde haired beauty stood up from her sitting on the swing and she was about to head her way home until she bumped into some group of boys who were about few years older than her.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump to you." She apologized to them.
"Well, well, look what we have here. A pretty high school girl… she's kindda my type." Said the boy with a smirk.
"What shall we do for her, boss?" one of the comrades asked him.
Izumi scared and stands back away from the boys who were all smirking very evilly, which is no good for the blonde haired teenager girl.
"Ohh four collegian boys are harassing one innocent high school girl, didn't your parents teach you to be polite on a lady?" A voice said out.
The boys were about to ignore the mysterious voice, but Blue Wolf appeared between Izumi and the gang. The boys were truly surprised to see the blue assassin. For somehow they got scared to see Blue Wolf in person to person so suddenly
"So what will it be now?" Blue Wolf asked.
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" they yelled.
The boys all ran as quickly as they can do in order to save their lives. Izumi just looked at the pathetic boys who were all cowardly running away with their tails up.
"Just as I thought they're nothing but fools." Blue Wolf's voice said.
Blue Wolf was standing again in a cool pose in his new attire, which made the blonde haired beauty to blush very madly as she stared at the mysterious assassin. Blue Wolf turned his head as his eyes lay on the innocent blonde haired girl. For somehow, Izumi could feel that Blue Wolf looks very angry.
"Miss, didn't I already told you the last time not to go out in this hour? This is already the third time!" Blue Wolf yelled at her.
Izumi stared at Blue Wolf she was really surprised to herself that she was able to see Blue Wolf again at the time like this. Blue Wolf's expression suddenly changed as he saw Izumi's expressions were about to cry.
"Why is it?" he whispered to himself. "Why is my instinct falls on her?"
"Is there something wrong, Blue Wolf?" she asked him.
"Aa… nothing, miss." He answered quickly. "But could you tell me what are you doing here in the night this time?"
"Shit! I can't tell her my true identity." He reminded himself.
Izumi was nearing the cold assassin with her kind expressions that was on her face. Blue Wolf was curious now, why is she nearing him closely?
"By the way, you should take it." Izumi told him.
"Hm? What is it?" he asked her.
"It's my gratitude for saving me…" she said.
Blue Wolf was about to reject on the blonde haired girl's gift but she insisted that he must keep it, since she has no other way to say a proper way aside on 'thank you'. Right after you've saved her.
"Well… goodbye." She said.
The wind blew fast once again, then Blue Wolf was no longer there instead he turned back into his normal citizen identity, Minamoto Kouji. Kouji was staring at the blonde haired girl confusedly at the thing that she had did. Then he stared at the gift that Izumi had given it to him.
"Why she'd do that for me?" he questioned. "Doesn't she get scared of me… that in fact I'm a wanted assassin?"
Kouji was so confused at what he did. He just saved one of the citizens just twice and now it became thrice time he just save her. Far away from him that he could not see, someone was watching at his move. But Kouji didn't even sense of someone's presence.
"Kouji… you've changed." The person mutters.
