Review from the previous chapter

From the last chapter of this story, we now find that Mishida and the other assassin have discovered that Kouji aka Blue Wolf was with Orimoto Izumi from the explosion on the park. Thanks to Black Mode Leo's spying to his brother, Mishida was really pissed out knowing that Izumi would also get involve to their major problem to their biggest rival. However Blue Wolf ignored them and continued to watch over the blonde haired beauty knowing that there's no turning back. The 'gang' finally arrives to kidnap Orimoto Izumi on part of their plan to get their revenge to Mishida and the boys. Kouji was really worried on Izumi, as he knew that they would do anything to make their life miserable and kill anyone to those who are connected or close to him. He finally saves her in a nick of time but there is one problem. Blue Wolf's mask was removed and Izumi discovered the true identity behind Blue Wolf's mask. What will happen?

Caught 0.6 The Truth of the Assassins

In the headquarters of the Mishida and the member assassins in there, everything were empty and silence. Only Mishida, and the assassins were the only ones inside of the building. In one certain room, Izumi was there laying on the bed so dazzling right after she had seen it everything including Blue Wolf's true identity. Outside of the room, Takuya was watching at the blonde haired girl to keep on eye.

"No respond yet?" Kouichi asked.

"Yeah… ever since Izumi saw his true face." answered Takuya, "And what happen back there."

-Flashback

Akai Eagle, Thunder Beetle, Shiroi Kuma and Black Mode Leo were heading their way to the location that they've received from their member's call. Black Mode Leo was the most worrywart of all in the gang. Then they've finally arrived on their destination.

"We're here, Blue Wolf!" yelled Black Mode Leo.

Then they gasped as they saw Blue Wolf's mask has been removed on his face yet worst of all Izumi saw the true identity behind the wolf mask. Not good. Blue Wolf's identity was already revealed in front of a normal civilian. Akai Eagle neared the blonde haired girl and took Kouji's katana.

"Since now you know his true identity. It's best for you not to live longer." Said Akai Eagle as he was ready to slash her.

"DON'T KILL HER!" Kouji yelled at Akai Eagle.

Akai Eagle have stopped due Kouji had yelled at him and he was staring at him the most scary expression that the blonde haired beauty had ever seen it like that in her whole life. The other assassins were surprises to see that Kouji have stopped Akai Eagle on killing her.

"Why? Why did you stop me?" Akai Eagle asked him.

"I think we shouldn't do that." Kouji answered.

Izumi was terribly shock at this as the gun was still pointed at Kouji's head. And worst, she was seeing the other assassins that Kouji or Blue Wolf was with. She looked at the four other assassins. Then she gasped as she barely recognize to them.

"You guys are… Shibayama Junpei… Himi Tomoki… Kimura Kouichi… and Kanbara Takuya." She said.

"Oh-uh…" Shiroi Kuma muttered. "This isn't really good guys."

"Now that is a real problem." Thunder Beetle muttered, "What shall we do guys?"

Black Mode Leo stared at Kouji and looked at his brother's expression carefully before he could answer to his comrades' suggestion. He could barely see that his younger twin was really confused while he was staring at Izumi. Even though his secrets were already out of the hat, there's nothing else he could go back. Then the black assassin looked at Izumi.

"I don't think you'll be safe out here." Said Black Mode Leo, "You must come with us."

Izumi stared at the black assassin then she nodded her head slowly. Kouji helped the blonde beauty to get up on her feet and got their way out of the warehouse. Black Mode Leo just watched at his younger twin brother's expression carefully.

"Brother, you did changed." He whispers.

-End of Flash back

Kouichi and Takuya both have long face after they've recalled on the small incident back from the warehouse.

Far away from Izumi's room, somewhere within in this headquarters, Kouji was sitting on his bed while he was busily spacing out. He was spacing out about what happen just now back right after he have saved Izumi.

"What's happened to me?" Kouji whispered, "I'm not like myself anymore."

The lone wolf lad buried his face on his soft pillow as he was trying to put himself out of question. Yet the questions still remains on his head as Izumi's scared face suddenly appeared on his mind. Just until he heard his door opening and pair of heavy footsteps are heard on his room.

"What it is now, Mishida?" he said

"Blue Wolf…" Mishida called him.

"You don't have to call me that code name no one's there to hear it." Said the lad, "And also I'm not in my assassin attire."

"… Okay then Kouji. Could you tell me why you did that?" He asked him,

"I can't explain enough that question. It was a mystery to me." Kouji answered. "Mishida-sama, ore wa…"

"You may not call me that. After all I'm your uncle." He said. "So are you willing to tell that girl the truth?"

"…It depends to her if she wants to know." He answered again.

Kouji goes up from his bed and headed out of his room leaving Mishida alone in the lone wolf lad's room. The middle-aged man looked at the young lad's movement until he was gone.

"You've grown up very well, Kouji. You even reminded me of someone I knew." Mishida whispered.

Back to where Izumi was she has been staring at the window for fifteen minutes for now. Until she heard someone was entering on the room that she was staying.

"Ah… Izumi. You shouldn't get up." Said Kouichi.

"I'm alright, Kimura-kun. Anyway, I can still walk." Said the blonde beauty.

"Dame. You still have that injure and it's best to stay in bed." The elder lad instructed her. "Also you may call me 'Kouichi' instead."

Izumi pouted and said, "You sound like my mother, Kimura-kun."

"Oniisan's right, Orimoto-san. You'd better stay in bed." Kouji instructed her.

Izumi gasped as she heard the familiar male's voice that was coming from the entrance door. She and Kouichi turned their heads and saw Kouji was standing in a cool posture, which made the blonde haired beauty to blush to see him not wearing in his bandana.

"Oniisan? Are you and Kouichi really twins?" said Izumi, "But you two got different surnames."

"That is because our parents got divorce when we're young." Kouichi answered.

The blonde haired beauty was shocked to hear the reason why Kouichi and Kouji have different surnames. This made her to keep her tone down and her expression changed into bitterness knowing that she brought up a very bad subject for the twins. Even for Kouji and Kouichi who are also feeling bad at what they've confessed to her.

"Minamoto-kun… I… would you tell me your history?" she asked him. "The history why you, Kouichi-kun and Takuya-kun and the others choose this?"

Kouichi was really surprises to hear that Izumi wants to know of their past. The elder twin looked at Kouji and noticed that he has a very painful expression that could be seen. The younger twin was really in deep pain yet for somehow he barely managed to keep his cool.

"It looks like I've got no other choice then…" he whispers, "Okay it happens everything…"

-The Twins' past

It takes about 11 years ago when Kouji and Kouichi were very young. They were living together in a huge mansion from Hiroshima, a perfect place where it fits to the family good mood. Even though they were divorce at a very young age, they were able to meet each other.

One night, they were having a nice family together activity until there was a loud banging that was coming from their main door on the front. Their father had a very worried expression that young Kouichi and Kouji have ever seen it not when it comes to a problem. Then they looked at their two mothers, they too also had shared the worry expression on their faces too.

"Kouichi, Kouji. You should go to this secret place and run fast as you can." Their father instructed them.

"Dosta na, Otousan?" young Kouichi questioned him.

"We have guest right? Then why should we run?" young Kouji asked him.

"Please just do it!" Their mothers exclaimed.

Young Kouichi and Kouji didn't further on questioning their parents on why they must run away from their home. They didn't know why he and his brother must run away from their home but there is one thing that they could've never forget.

"Kouichi, Kouji whatever happens you must never let those angry emotions get into you." Their father spoken to them.

"And wherever you are we'll always be in your heart." Said their mothers.

The loud banging of the door still continued on banging it, the two mothers lead the twins on a secret passage that would lead their way out of the house. They don't have a slightest idea why they're doing it but they felt really scared for the first time when their parents lead them out of the house.

As Kouji and Kouichi have gotten out of the house, they started to run really fast that would lead them away from their house. They ran really fast like one of the wild animals. As they ran really fast they looked behind to see the last look of their house. Then they saw a strange man with a scar that was on his forehead and their parents.

"MOMMY! MOM! OTOUSAN!" they shouted.

'BAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG!'

Kouji and Kouichi widen their eyes as they heard one loud gun shot far away from them. Then they never saw their parents' return again. The twins cried out along with the forest wolves. It was a very tragic event for them. Their most painful scar that they never forgot. Kouji would never forget the appearance of the man whom he just killed their beloved parents.

After that horrible incident to the twins, they were cold and hungry for they have no one since their parents are the only ones who could have taken with them. The younger twin was really dying and he could no longer hold on. Until one man have appeared in a nick of time to save the twins. The man brought Kouichi and Kouji to his house and treated him like his own sons.

"Hora. You two should be really grateful that there are others alive." He told them.

"Arigatou, mister." Young Kouji thanked him.

"If it wasn't for you we would be done." Said young Kouichi. "Are you living alone?"

"Yes… but I used to have a big brother back then. But now he died." The man answered very sadly.

Kouji noticed the man's expression was really sad and painful, as he had mentioned about his big brother. The younger twin felt really bad for him. They both have lost something that are very precious to them. Then the man suddenly went alarm as he asw something ahead from him.

"DUCK!" the mentor exclaimed.

The young twins duck their heads like what their savior have told them. Kouichi was a little scared at what the man was trying to protect them while Kouji who has the guts to look up and see what would their savior do. To his surprises he saw their savior was cool and managed to kill the wild animal. After for one attack for the man, Kouichi and Kouji were quickly amazed at his skills.

"You were so cool defeating that wild, mister." Said young Kouichi.

"Na, all I did is to fight for my life." Said the man,

"Mister… we'll stay with you." Said Kouji. "In return please teach us to become strong. With that we could get our revenge to the death of our parents and your brother."

The man stared at young Kouji and studied at his eyes very carefully. He could see that Kouji was really determined to do the risks what he was about to face, and then he looked at Kouichi and saw that he was also giving the same expression like his younger twin. Then he had no choice but to take what the young boy had said and he became the twins' mentor, in order to repay back to their lives. They've trained themselves hard in order to gain stronger and become the deadly assassin to have their revenge of their parents' death and their mentor's big brother.

-End of the Twins' past

"And that's why Oniisan and I ended up here." Kouji ended his explanations.

They were silent all the sudden right after the twins have shared their story with Izumi. The blonde haired beauty felt really bad hearing such a tragic story that she had ever heard it in her life. She had never thought that the twins have faced such a terrible life than her.

"So what about your revenge?" Izumi asked him.

"That… we've completely forgotten about it." Kouichi answered.

"So you two stopped?" she asked them.

"Yeah… after we get our first mission we learned that revenge wouldn't help us at all." The elder twin answered.

"So who is this savior and mentor of yours?" the blonde haired girl asked again.

"…It was me." Answered the male's voice.

Izumi, Kouichi and Kouji turned their back and saw Mishida was there while he was standing behind the door. Kouji and Kouichi were surprises to see Mishida was there all the time.

"How long have you've been here?" Kouichi asked him.

"All the time." Mishida answered simply.

"So you're the one who saves Kouichi-kun and Minamoto-kun." Izumi whispered. "You are…?"

"I'm called Mishida in this mission but my real name is…" said Mishida.
