A Gathering of Fiends
"So where are we going?" This after we had been driving for what seemed hours.
"We are going to a small airport about an hour away. Crawford seemed to be holding back yawns.
"Airport?"
"Why are we going to an airport?" I don't think that I have ever been on an airplane before.
"We are currently stationed in Tokyo, Japan and until we complete our current mission we will be living there."
"Japan! I've never been out of Ireland. Damn what a way to start out." This should be interesting; I always wanted to travel to other countries.
When I was younger I learned so many different languages pretending that I was moving all the time. Nuns hated it when I started goofing off in class cussing at them in so many different languages. Said it was ungodly. Well they are all dead now anyway.
"So what is your current mission then now that you have got me?" I'm curious to see what type of work I will be doing.
"We are currently acting as a Japanese business mans personal bodyguard/assassins." "This man is currently helping our employers greatly with something very important so until they tire of him we are doing whatever he asks."
"Definitely not one of our favorite missions." Crawford's face twisted in a look of disgust and I felt that he didn't like to be leased out as property to rich people. "We get enough work though."
"He doesn't trust many of his underlings and we are constantly killing people for him. Also he has been having problems with assassination plots. The most worrisome problem though was a rival assassination team calling themselves Weiss. They are the strongest team that our employers are fighting against currently so they are our primary focus."
"There are four of them just like with our team, but they are nowhere near as powerful as any of us. They are talentless but still deadly. We have been given strict instructions to not kill them, but to keep them out of Takatori's way until it is his time to die."
Until his time to die? I think that I will like this job very much. Being some ones bodyguard only to turn on him and destroy him in the end. How fitting. Smiling contentedly I stretched out in my seat and fell asleep.
God I have always been a light sleeper and this hadn't changed. I woke up the moment that Crawford stopped the car. Great, we are at the airport. Wonderful. I really don't want any of these people knowing that I'm nervous….
"Wake up!" Crawford yelled as he opened his door, startling everyone in the car. Slowly I turned and watched as the man Schuldig slowly opened his eyes and yawned. God, this man looks beautiful even as he wakes up.
Lazily Schuldig stretched and then turned and started shaking the little one whose lap he had been sleeping in, Nagi. As he started to whine something about just a little longer, Schuldig began to tickle him, finally getting him to wake up in a fit of laughter.
"Stop it Schuldig! I'm awake already enough!!!" Nagi kept screeching but I had stopped watching him, my eyes now on Schuldig.
"Aw come on Nagi, its just a little tickling, its not like you're to old for that!" Laughing Schuldig jumped out of the car and followed after Brad leaving Nagi and I alone together.
"Humph. Crazy German Bastard," Nagi grumbled as he started collecting his things out of the car. " Well I suppose you are our new recruit huh?"
"Jei isn't it?"
"I'm Nagi, code name Prodigy, nice to meet you." He then held out his hand smiling at me. I usually hate kids, they are so nosy but this one was kinda cute, so I took his hand.
"Jei no longer exists, he's dead. I'm Farfarello. It's nice to meet you Nagi. I'm sure we will get along well." Smiling I shook his hand then helped him his stuff out of the car.
