An Assassin's Heart
Author: Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chan
Kairi: Finally my fourth chapter of my fic. Since I've just noticed that from the previous chapter it was all Blue Wolf aka Kouji. And now in this chapter is all about Kouji as a normal citizen about more of his background in his normal life. Also this is the beginning of their one-month break from their night work.
Here are the boys' code names in case you're still confused during their nighttime job
Minamoto Kouji- Blue Wolf
Kanbara Takuya- Akai Eagle
Kimura Kouichi- Black Mode Leo
Himi Tomoki- Shiroi KumaShibayama Junpei- Thunder Beetle
Takuya: And also for a few warning, there would be mild languages and violence.
Kouji: Please read it. Before Kairi's head may about to lose it.
Caught 0.4 Am I Falling?"Run Kouji!" the voice told him.
Who is this?
The image of a young boy who looks about in age of nine was running very fast as he could. It was dark and snowy in that night. The young boy was bleeding very deep but he didn't care either he was hurt or not.
"Must keep it on." The young boy told himself.
Who is this boy? And why is he running?
Kouji wondered himself at the strange young boy's running away from something. Then the young boy tripped himself from the old tree's bark. As he got tripped, another person appeared behind him with a deadly weapon that he could not recognize as the darkness covers it.
"Mwhahahaha! This is the end of you Kou…" said the person.
"IIIYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA!" a suddenly voice called out.
Kouji jolted out from his bed. He was sweating a lot yet it was very unusual for him to have that strange dreams and the sweating from his bed sheets.
"Is that stupid dream again?" Kouji questioned to himself.
'Screech'"Morning 'bro… Hey what's cooking? You seem really sweaty." Kouichi said.
"You like something to share with?" Takuya asked him.
"No… it's nothing… By the way why aren't you two dressed? School's about to start by any minutes." The cold lad reminded him.
Kouichi and Takuya stared at Kouji with their confused expressions that were pasting on their paste. Kouji had noticed their expression then he gave out a 'what' look. The elder twin quickly gave out a small sighs.
"Have you forgotten, Otouto?" he said.
"About what? Come on this isn't time to play silly games." Kouji told him.
"… Kouji today is SUNDAY. And there is no school. HAH! I can't believe you've forgot that." Takuya answered.
This time it was Kouji's turn that he looked very confused while Takuya and Kouichi were smiling very excitedly. Yep it was really unusual for Kouji to surprise that he didn't know what the exact date it is.
"What's with that smile, guys?" Kouji asked them.
"Kouji, Kouji, since today is Sunday. Why don't you go out with us and have fun?" Takuya requested.
"No… I know you're making up excuses for me to go out so you could get the girls." The cold lad said.
"Aha. See I've told you it won't work, Takuya." Kouichi said. "Luckily I called some our friends."
"By the way were Tomoki and Junpei coming here?" Kouji asked them.
"Yah." Kouichi answered
"Apparently yes, Kouji. But they must do some part-time job." Takuya answered. "But they'll be coming later on."
The cold longhaired lad didn't say another word but he only got out of his bed and went to the bathroom just to change his pajamas. As he came out of the bathroom, he was wearing in his blue long sleeve and a simple pair of bluish jeans. Then he went to his desk to do his homework. A little while longer Tomoki and Junpei appeared right after he had done his second subject.
"It looks like it may getting nosier later." The lad muttered and went back doing his homework.
-Few minutes later
"Aww… I lost again." Whined Tomoki, "This is the fifth round already."
"See. Now you must do the dare on tomorrow." Said Junpei.
"Oh no… anything than that!" the youngster pleaded.
While Takuya, Kouichi, Junpei and Tomoki were playing card and dare games, things are getting too boring for Kouji as he keeps on hearing the same voices and the chattering of his friends. Then he decided to go out and find something do to as he found things are getting boring. He step out of his room and headed out. Kouichi saw his younger twin heading to the door.
"Hey where are you going, Otouto." Kouichi asked his twin,
"I'm going out for a walk." He said.
Kouichi was about to say another word to his brother but he had already left. Takuya also saw the cold bandana head lad left the apartment house without telling the others. While Junpei and Tomoki were too busy playing on cards.
"Was that, Kouji?" Junpei asked.
"He left again, right?" Tomoki wondered.
"sighs I guess things will always be the same." The elder twin lad muttered. "Let's play another around!"
Kouji got himself out of the apartment house and he has his favorite black jacket over his long blue sleeve to keep him warm from the cold snow(may I remind you that it's still winter in this fic). Kouji really liked the cold atmosphere and the cold of the snow.
"I'd get a very bad feeling that I shouldn't go out." He said to himself.
As the cold lone wolf lad walked out from the apartment, while he was walking it on the sidewalk. He suddenly felt a bad presence around his surroundings just now. He looked behind and gasped. There are girls who were looking at him with giggles and heart-shape on their eyes. Not good. Kouji quickly ran really fast avoiding looking at the girls' stares.
"SHIT! I knew this would be very bad." He cursed.
The cold lad had been avoiding from the girls everywhere he goes around the streets. He really hates the way the girls looking at him by using of their dreamy eyes and the 'loving gaze'. It really irritates him very much for a popular high school student like him had.
"Whoo… Finally a place where I can't be disturb by 'them' again." Kouji whispered softly.
Kouji was walking on the streets, the atmosphere was getting much colder than before that he used to know. Yet he doesn't seem to care on the temperature, in fact he really likes the cold feeling in this season.
"Maybe I should go back home right now." He muttered.
Sound effect: Stomach growl
"But then again, I should eat something before heading home…" he said. "Probably Kouichi will torture me or something…"
The blue haired lad continues to walk on the sidewalks still searching for a restaurant. When he goes to the next restaurant, he found it very amazed as it was very simple and perfect that has no formalities. He sat down on the table with no problem, except he was feeling uneasy that many girls are watching him.
"God… why things are like that?" he muttered.
"What would you like to order, sir?" the voice asked him.
Kouji gasped as he heard the voice very familiar. He looked up to see this waitress. To his surprise it was his classmate and schoolmate, Izumi. She was wearing in a cute waitress uniform that he had ever seen. He could feel the heat was increasing up on his face, but he doesn't understand to himself why he's feeling that way.
"Whoa… Orimoto Izumi?" he said.
"Eh? What's the matter, Minamoto-kun?" Izumi asked.
"Ahh… What are you doing here, Orimoto-san?" Kouji asked her.
"What do you mean? I work here." She said, "My part-time job as a waitress."
SILENTThis made the blue haired very surprise at it. His face turned terrified as it goes on as pale as white like a blank sheet of paper. Izumi was working as a waitress in this restaurant? Now that is weird yet unusual for him to see one of his schoolmates would do the part time job. It was amusing, really, really amusing for Kouji.
"Is there something wrong, Minamoto-kun?" she asked him.
"Iie. Nandemonai, Orimoto-san. I would like to order this one." Kouji answered.
"I see… then please wait for a moment." Izumi answered.
With that Izumi left and went to the kitchen. While he was waiting for the food arrives, the lad looked outside gazing at the each snowdrops that was falling down from the sky.
"It looks like the snow never ends to fall down." He whispered.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Here's your order." She said.
"Aa… arigatou." He thanked her.
Izumi went away from Kouji and goes back to the kitchen. Then her other workmates suddenly surrounded her. They were all eager and curious on what the blonde haired girl knows on the cool costumer in their restaurant.
"Ne, ne Orimoto-san, who's the cutie that you talk with?" one of waitress asks her,
"He's Minamoto Kouji. A classmate and schoolmate of mine from Gashien Gakuen(sorry I can't think any good name)." She answered.
"You're so lucky, Izumi-chan." One of them complimented her.
"Stop it will you guys." Izumi told them.
While the girls were pestering the blonde beauty, Izumi really could not help on thinking the silent lad who was now eating of his food. Kouji suddenly felt the presence that someone was watching him somewhere in the restaurant although he found no one was suspicious.
"I think it's my imagination." He whispered.
Somewhere in the restaurant where Izumi and Kouji were, some of the costumers were watching at the lone wolf lad who was eating his food alone.
"That kid's doing okay…" he muttered.
"But let me remind you that we're not here to surprise attack 'him'." Another one reminded him.
"Also to investigate that 'boy'." The third one answered.
It took a few while for them in the restaurant then Kouji finished his food and left the restaurant after he paid the bills. The groups of strangers were still keeping their eye on Kouji, and then they followed him behind. As they followed him they saw no trace like he just disappeared in the thin air.
"What the hell…" he exclaimed.
"Where that boy go?" another one said in an angry tone.
They went into separate ways to do on their searching out on Kouji's traces. But unfortunately they found no luck of the young lad's last trace. Kouji appeared out from the walls. He has been hiding on the walls secretly right after the mysterious men came after him.
"Those guys… they can't be really came after me, are they?" Kouji asked.
-Hours later
Izumi had her shift done in her work. All the sweet smile and the tiring quote over and over again really stress her a lot. The blonde haired girl had her violet sleeveless shirt and a black skirt that reaches two inches below her knees. As she got out of the restaurant she suddenly halt as she saw Kouji was leaning against the wall with both of his hands were stuffing in his jacket.
"Hey." he greeted.
"Minamoto-kun, I thought you already left hours ago but why are you here?" Izumi asked him.
"Well… I was about to head out to my next destination until I winded it up in here." He answered. "I think I'm lost."
Izumi stared at Kouji with a strange look. The long blackish haired lad gave out an embarrassing look with a little blush on his face. It was unusual for him to blush like that to the girls.
"DAMN IT! I bet she'll think I'm stupid. Way to go, Kouji… Hey wait, since when do I care how she'll think of me in that way?" Kouji whispered.
"Well then can you walk home with me?" she asked him.
"Huh?"
"Umm… will you walk home with me?" she repeated.
"Okay…" he answered.
They walked home together side by side. They didn't say another word to each other. Izumi was getting to feel very nervous when she was with Kouji. As for Kouji, he could've sworn that he was getting a little tense of the silent. Then he decided to bring up the topic.
"So tell me, Orimoto-san. Why are you working there?" he asked her politely,
"You want to know?" she said.
Kouji nod.
Izumi sighs softly and answered, "Well, my parents have been away from me for about a year and a half. And I need to work for my survival while they're away." She said.
"Ohh… sorry 'bout that. I bet you're very lonely." Kouji said.
"No. I'm really fine on that." She said. "My Mom used to tell me that I must overcome to my fear on loneliness. But I could not help it."
Kouji was really shocked at this, he had never thought such a lonely girl could manage to do on her own after her parents left her. Even Izumi was strong on being alone but deep inside she was sad and scared.
"She's lonely alright but… isn't that already long enough for her parents to be away?" Kouji wondered.
"But what about you Minamoto-kun. Have you ever felt lonely or sad before?" she asked him.
"… I do feel lonely but the person taught me that I mustn't overcome some feelings. I must stay solitude and emotionless." Kouji answered, "I'm sorry…"
"It's okay I think it's kindda cool but why is that person taught you that?" she asked him.
"That is… to avoid from the tragedy. My mentor taught me that because it was believe if a person has emotions bad things will happen to you." He answered again.
They've been really quiet after talking. For Kouji he was confused at what he was feeling around. Then Izumi stopped, which made him curious on that.
"Anyway, thanks a lot, Minamoto-kun. I should be going now." She said.
"What? But we're…" he said.
"This is my stop and the path to my home. It's nice talking with you, Minamoto-kun." She said.
"Umm… yeah." He simply answered.
Izumi simply went off to her way home leaving the cold loner lad standing by himself alone. While he was watching at her go, the snowdrops continue to fall down from the sky. One of the snowdrops fell on Kouji's hand.
"The snow is melting fast." He muttered, "When will this snow ever end?"
In the building where Kouji and the other boys work, Mishida was reading one the document that was on his palms. The man had a very terrified look with few sweats out of his skin. In the document were reports that have been occurred from the previous weeks. He was staring at the sample photo that has the shape of the
"This can't be really true." He whispered softly.
