Chapter five

Losing Wufei

"Oh come on, Simon. I just did one a couple of weeks ago, and got kicked out of my house cause of it."

"I know, and I'm sorry about that. We'll get you a place soon, just as soon as you make us enough money."

"Oh well, she was a bad foster mom anyway. So, what do you need me to do?"

"The man you killed the other night was just a small fry. We need you to go a bit higher up in the ranks. Like, oh let's say the highest paid assassin in the Mafia."

"What, are you serious? I'll get my ass kicked."

"Well, it's a risk we're willing to take."

She glared at him momentarily before putting the torture image of him aside.

"Just give me the information, and consider it done."

"Good girl, I knew you could do this job", he said with a smile.

She left a good thirty minutes later after he briefed her on the plans. She left feeling more anger burn inside of her than she had earlier when he had talked about her life as if it were worthless.

'Maybe it's about time I find another job.'

"Wufei, I'm going out tonight. I don't know when I'll be back, so don't wait up, K?"

Wufei looked up at her and saw what she was wearing. A pair of dark blue jeans and a white shirt with a black trench coat. But, she had put in bright red streaks in her hair, along with a nose ring.

"Where are you going?"

"Just out to hang with some friends."

"OK, don't be back too late."

"OK. Bye bye", she said as she walked out the door.

He hurriedly grabbed his own jacket and went out the back door. After he saw her drive off into her car, he ran to his own and took off after her.

He stayed a few cars behind her, so she wouldn't see him. When she stopped at a pay phone, he stopped as well, wondering what she was doing.

She wasn't on for long, and he followed her again as she drove down the same street.

It was about ten minutes later when he saw her get out of the car and walk into a small cafe. He got out of the car and pulled the collar of his jacket up and let his hair fall down in his face.

He than walked into the cafe and found a small table in the corner of the dimly lit room. His dark black eyes peered over the top of his menu as he watched an older looking man walk in and sit down in front of her.

'Bastard! Who's he, and what is he doing near my...', he trailed off in his thoughts as he tried to think of what he was about to say.

'I was not just about to say that-', he was cut off again as a pretty waitress came over and asked him what he would like to drink.

"Coffee, please."

"Sure thing."

She walked away and Wufei's eyes returned to the man and his...

They appeared to be discussing something, even though she looked at him wearily. He saw the man's hand slid against the inside of his jacket briefly before he took it back out, with something in it.

Wufei's eyes widened as he looked around the room and saw barley anyone in there, except for himself and Tori.

He stood up abruptly and walked over to them, but before he made it all the way, the man pulled out the gun and aimed it at her head.

"TORI", Wufei yelled.

She looked over at Wufei and her eyes widened before she looked back at her target. A smirk was on her face as a few waitresses screamed. A gun went off, and more screams came as he looked on in horror.

Tori was still sitting up, but the man in front of her dropped his gun as his hands went to his stomach, where a bullet wound made itself present.

"Never underestimate a woman", she said as she stood up and shot him in the head.

His body fell over limply to the floor, and she walked over to Wufei and held the gun to his head.

"You shouldn't have followed me", she said icily.

"Tori", Wufei whispered as her hand trembled slightly.

"You know who I am."

The finger on the trigger tightened, and then went off.

It's short, i know, but i love to keep people guessing. I'm just evil like that. But, anywho. Someone said that the 4th chapter and 5th chapter were exactly the same, and they were, except for ch. 5 had the kiss between Trowa and Heero. The other one didn't. I'm just being nice for a change, for the people who don't like yaoi. Like for my other stories, the ones where people don't want to read the sex scenes. So, that's all, and thank you all for reviewing, it really makes me happy.

Later,

Robin
