Review from the previous chapter

From the last chapter of this story, we find there are few men who seem to be aftering Kouji when he was in the restaurant. Then Mishida however looked terrified while he was looking at the reports. What are they fear for?

Caught 0.5 Her Question, His Confuse

It was already spring in Japan, the birds are starting to chirping so sweetly in the air. Kouji was busily staring at the window's outside view. His mind was filled with questions yet concerned at what happen from the past few weeks from the restaurant. The mysterious gang that he met was somehow stuck in his mind.

"I wonder what's happen to me?" he wondered. "And why those guys are after me?"

"OI KOUJI!" Takuya's voice shouted.

"What is it, loud mouth? Can't you see I'm trying to listen sensei's important lecture." Kouji told him.

"Class has already dismissed, and you're the only one who didn't moved. What's the matter with you, pal?" the brunette lad asked him.

"Nothing's wrong with me." He replied.

"Whatever and let's go." Kouichi demanded.

As Kouichi was asking to his twin brother he hears no reply to the younger twin only Takuya's loud mouth that has been blabbering all the way to the entrance door where it leads to the school's gate. Then Kouji froze as he just saw Izumi was playing off with the kids, whom they came from the elementary section.

Kouji was really seeing Izumi's playful smile with the kids. He wanted to remove his eyes away from her although his blue orbs could not take off as he continues staring at the blonde beauty. While the blonde beauty was playing with the kids, she felt there's someone staring at her. She looks around and caught the lone wolf staring at her then she smiled at him. Of course Kouji saw her, he quickly pretended that he didn't see it since she had found him.

"I never thought, Orimoto-san was found on kids." Kouji blurted out.

"Hm? That girl used to volunteer herself to watch over the elementary kids." Said Takuya, "I heard she's really great to handle some whiney kids and she has everything under control."

"Since when did you know that, Takuya?" Kouichi asked him with his eyebrow cocked.

"… Ask that great researcher. He's been too obsessed to her." The brunette lad answered.

"And who might that be?" the lone wolf lad wondered.

Takuya didn't answered at Kouji's but he just pointed from outside with an irritated expression that was showing on his face. Kouichi and Kouji followed the direction where the brunette lad was pointing. Then they saw Junpei was giving flowers and chocolate to the blonde haired beauty. This winces off the lone lad seeing Junpei courting on Izumi.

"Junpei? I didn't know he has a thing for Izumi." Kouichi said confusedly.

"Well you do now about it." Answered Takuya, "He's been doing that for the past weeks but she has no chance on him."

"Why was that?" Kouji asked.

"You don't wanna know, Kouji." He added. "Let's go out for arcade."

Kouichi gave a playful punch at the cheerfully goggle head lad's elbow. Kouji stared at them with his usual irritated expressions that he has on his face. He found really annoying whenever he was with Takuya yet he couldn't blame it since he was like that.

'Ring. Ring.'

"Who's cellphone belongs to?" Takuya wondered.

"Oh sorry it belongs to me." Kouji excuses himself.

As the lone lad was about to answers his cellphone, his blue orbs widen as he saw the name of someone's call. Before Kouji could answer it, he took a quick glance to both Takuya and Kouichi and gives off a glance sign. The brunette haired lad nodded, as he knew what he'd do. They got out of the school building alone with no one following behind him. The cold lad answered the phone and places it over his right ear.

"Hello this is Kouji speaking." Kouji answered.

"…"

"Hello? What's happen to you, Mishida-sama?" he demanded. "Mishida-sama!"

While the cold lone lad was asking question to the person that was on the phone, Takuya and Kouichi could felt a bad tense that he never liked it from the tone of Kouji. The worried tone that they hated most from their boss either something bad happens from there while they are gone. Kouji had his phone done yet he has a strong anger on his face.

"Was that Mishida-sama?" Kouichi asked.

"It looks like there's something wrong back to our headquarter." He said. "We have to go there, Takuya!"

"What? But it's our break! After all he did said 'it' the last time. I mean come on!" Takuya complained.

"Either you want to know the headquarters' situation or not!" the cold lad yelled at him.

Before Takuya was about to say another word back to the lone wolf lad. Kouji had already left really fast that he could ever rushed out to find out of their headquarters. Of course, the brunette haired lad could not follow his pal while Kouichi took out his cellphone and places to his ear.

"Hello, Tomoki? We have a problem from our headquarters and I think we have to check out fast." He called.

Kouji was jumping over the roofs one by one, as the wind began to blow hard. His normal attires were replaced into his assassin's outfit the new ones that he used to wear it from their last mission. But this time he was wearing the scarf that was given from Izumi. The scarf that he just receives from her when he last met her in the park after their last mission.

Blue Wolf was rushing off really fast as he goes his way to their headquarter. He went all the way to the building and manages to get in very fast without opening the door. He slammed the door open, the office that belongs to Mishida. Then he saw his boss was lying on the floor unconsciously with papers were scattered around him.

"MISHIDA-SAMA!" he yelled.

He neared his boss's body and check at carefully at it. Blue Wolf was shocked that Mishida was already… dead. He was too late to save their great boss.

"No… Mishida-sama… why does it has to be you?" he screamed.

"YOU THINK I'M DEAD?" the voice yelled at Blue Wolf.

Blue Wolf gasped as he heard the voice that he just knew it well. He looked at the body and gasped. Mishida's eyes were opened with an angry expression that was on his face.

"MISHIDA-SAMA, YOU'RE ALIVE?" Blue Wolf exclaimed.

"You think I'm going to die that easy?" Mishida asked.

"What happen to you, Mishida-sama?" he asked him.

"Sorry that I made you worried Blue Wolf… I just stumble down on those reports that I gathered." The great boss said. "It seems that I'm getting pretty old."

Mishida gave out a small laugh yet he looks too serious for him to laugh at the time like that. Blue Wolf just helped his boss to get up from the floor and put him down on the same seat where he usually sat on there. And he helped on picking up the reports that has been fallen down. While he was picking them up, he stopped as he saw one report that he just knew it somewhere but he didn't show it in front of Mishida.

"Here are your papers, Mishida-sama. Just what in the world are you trying to find in there?" he asked him.

"You see… I was trying to research about this gang… that one we're all aware from now." Said Mishida seriously.

"… You mean 'that' gang?" said Blue Wolf nervously.

"Yes and I have a bad feeling that they might going to ambush us anytime…" he added.

"It looks like they already did…" said Blue Wolf, "I think I've met one of their spies."

The boss was about to say another word to the blue outfit assassin, but he was interrupted as their Akai Eagle, Black Mode Leo, Shiroi Kuma and Thunder Beetle had finally appeared in the building with sweat on their skins.

"What's happen to you, Mishida-sama?" Akai Eagle asked him.

"Black Mode Leo called us and said that Blue Wolf went ahead to check you up." Said Thunder Beetle.

"Calm down my lads. I just collapse since I wasn't looking below carefully." Mishida answered. "Also I want to warn you 'that gang' has finally appear." He added.

As Mishida told them his warning, Akai Eagle, Black Mode Leo, Thunder Beetle and Shiroi Kuma were shocked hearing at the unexpected news. Black Mode Leo turned his head to Blue Wolf just to ask him if their boss was telling the truth, but the blue assassin answered by nodding his head with a serious expression.

"So did 'they' send a notice to us?" Shiroi Kuma asked their boss.

"Apparently there's none… but K— I mean Blue Wolf encountered some unknown men that may be connected to 'it'." The boss answered, "I don't know what are their plans are up to this time. Although I could only say this once… Don't let your guard down."

Everyone looked at their boss with a very serious expression that was on their faces. They could tell that Mishida's warning was really serious and it meant that they must be careful and never let their guard down whenever they're either in their normal lives and their assassin night job.

"I want you all to be careful… everyone. I don't want you to be in a worst situation the same from someone who already encountered." He said.

Thunder Beetle and Shiroi Kuma began to felt a sudden sweat, as they knew to whom Mishida was referring to. Akai Eagle looked at Black Mode Leo and Blue Wolf. They looked very terrified that they have ever had the expression, the one that they must never forget well…

"Anyway since I've already caused you trouble, you should be vacationing now, boys." He told them. "After all I did promised you all that you'll have one month after your last mission."

"Roger, Mishida-sama!" Akai Eagle exclaimed. "We're all glad that you're alright."

"Thanks…" he said.

All the assassin members went out of Mishida's office and closed it.

"Man… Mishida-sama sure gives us a fright." Said Shiroi Kuma.

"You can't blame him that he sometimes a klutz." Commented Black Mode Leo. "I'm going ahead. What about you?"

"Yeah… I'm coming." Said Thunder Beetle, Shiroi Kuma and Akai Eagle.

"You guys go ahead. I have important stuffs to do in here." Said Blue Wolf, "I'll catch you guys later."

Black Mode Leo didn't say another word to his brother but he and the gang are leaving the building. Everyone went away on the building except for Blue Wolf who was left behind alone in the building. The mysterious blue assassin was standing there for a while and then he disappeared in one second.

In a park Blue Wolf finally appears up from the tree's bushes that was covering to his presence. He was trying to spy someone suspicious on the park yet there was no one walking from there.

"I guess I have to move to another place." He whispers.

"You can come out." The voice called him, "I know you're in there, Blue Wolf."

The wanted assassin, Blue Wolf has no other choice but to go down in there. As he finally gets his feet down, he looked at the person. It was Izumi once more whom he met her again in this place. This isn't really good for him.

"What is it now, miss? Can't you see that I'm really busy." Blue Wolf said coldly.

"The name is Orimoto Izumi, Blue Wolf. There's something I would like to ask you three questions, Blue Wolf." Said Izumi, "And I'd like you to answer it."

"Okay… blast away, Orimoto…" He said.

"First why do you intend to kill people?" she asked the first question.

"It's because… I… hated those people who ruin my life. They have no rights to live in this world in the first place." He answered, "They were the ones who threaten my life."

"Okay… second one, what is your reason to become an assassin?"

"…I became an assassin for a thirst of revenge." Blue Wolf answered very angry, "A revenge to those who killed my parents."

"I see… you do have a tragic past after all…" Izumi whispers, "Third… if you met someone that is important to your life… will you kill her?" she asked.

Blue Wolf was speechless that he could not answer Izumi's second question. He kept quiet at it thinking what he would answer for her but this question really confuses him. He had never get to meet someone who is important to his life… not even having his lover. The blonde haired girl could see that the mysterious blue assassin was ignoring her question.

"If you don't… I'LL HATE YOU!" she yelled at him.

"Ahh… matte!" he called.

Before Blue Wolf was about to run after Izumi. He suddenly heard a small sound that he could really hear it clearly than other people could. He has sharp hearing either from far or near the places that he was positioning himself.

"LOOK OUT!" he yelled.

The wanted assassin pulled Izumi down very hard that really hurts on the girl's skin, and they both ducked down. Then a sudden explosion has occurred. Izumi screamed so scared without thinking that she was hugging the wanted assassin so tightly. And Blue Wolf was really braved on the explosion.

The strong explosion was finally over. He looked at the spot where the explosion got. He was really annoyed yet confused that there would be an explosion in a place like that. Then he saw a broken object that was lying next to them, he took a close look at the broken object that was probably used for the explosion. Then his eyes widen as he saw the symbol of two swords across each other with a demon in the middle.

"It's them… I'm sure that got to be the gang…" he said.
