Passionate Murderer

I stood with my hand against my apartment door and then pound my fist against it and twirled around heading straight after Shizuru. I walked in as she was getting undressed and grabbed her by the wrist pulling her to me. I had my eyes fixed on her blood red eyes. Our eyes shared the similar coldness to them as we stood there.

"What gives you the right to call me a selfish bitch and slap me?" I demanded squeezing Shizuru's wrist harder unconsciously. Shizuru gritted her teeth and glared at me.

"The same reason why I'm doing it now!" She said as she struck me with her free hand. I grabbed her other wrist and shoved her down on the bed and stood in front of her.

"You know, I did it for you. It was just a bonus that it was Reito. Have you not thought about me though? I mean look at me!" I said intensely as held my arms out to side.

"What am I suppose to be looking for?" Shizuru said as she lay against the bed partially unexposed. I pulled off my torn uniform to show the damage I got from falling threw the brier patch. My back was covered in tons of cuts with the occasional thorn jabbed into my frame. My legs faired much better than my torso only having just few deep cuts. However Shizuru's eyes locked onto my right arm and the large bloodied spot between the back parts of my wrist. I stood there and stared at her for little while longer.

"So what's your reason?" I said coldly as I watched her lean forward while she kept her eyes lock on my body.

"You always act before you think…" Shizuru said in a half whisper. I was still coming down from my high as I put my hand against forehead feeling the exhaustion and pain finally set in. Shizuru got up from the bed letting her dress fall to the ground and helped me into the bathroom.

I stood in the shower by myself watching the blood run off my body and down the drain. I turned the shower off and Shizuru open the shower curtain and motioned me over. We weren't talking but everything we did say was through our eyes. She grabbed my arm and looked at the wound. My thoughts went back to the fairy tale. The hero lays in the arms of the princess, feverish, and dying from the poison of thorn. I smiled thinking it was probably a good thing brier patches weren't poisonous. I gritted my teeth together as I felt Shizuru slowly removed the thorn. Nature still was not as vicious compared to the other wounds I had received in the war. I heard the sound of the thorn land in the sink and looked down at the bubbling blood from the wound. Shizuru finished tending to my injuries and I found myself lying on my bed. The fatigue was catching up to me as my vision started to go.

POV Shizuru

I watched Natsuki eyes flutter and then close. I had to admit. I was being unreasonable. Natsuki looks so peaceful now. It is hard to imagine that within these last few weeks she's killed two people in a gruesome manner and managed to prevent a military confrontation between two warring governments. I wonder why she is doing this. She could just simply kill me and return to her life, but I know she won't. I lay back knowing tomorrow all hell would break loss.

My thoughts drifted back to the gala and the short encounter with the monarch of the Roses. They said a storm was coming and it would be from Karis. Did this mean Project Grey Cloud was complete? I went to sleep trying to remember everything I could about this deadly new weapon of Karis's.

POV Natsuki

When I woke up in the morning my body felt horrible. I had bruises every where, but next to me was Shizuru. She also fell asleep holding on to me. Damn Shizuru, why do you have to fight to stay together? I pulled the sheets off and got ready for the day which would end in the death of the Intelligence Bureau.

I had my uniform on and look at Shizuru who was slipping into some of my clothes. This was definitely it.

"Natsuki, why do you have to kill all these people?" Shizuru asked.

"It just has to be that way, Shizuru. No witnesses." I said coldly. "You will help me, won't you? Because if you don't…I'll kill myself, I'll have nothing left other than death and if I can't die by your hands…then I'll kill myself." I said plainly awaiting Shizuru's response. Shizuru's eyes widened and she nodded giving me a get off your high horse look. "Good. Then let's go."

I put on my formal briefing uniform and wore a special gun holster with my favorite gun; the SIG P-230, my 23 special. Shizuru was outside loading up their supplies. I had given Shizuru my fatigues to wear. This was like a mission for the us. It would be quick and then we'd run. Our goal was to get to the Harbor of Angels. I stood in the door way of my apartment and dropped a lit match triggering a fail safe device destroying my apartment alone. I headed to the car and jumped into the passenger seat and looked at Shizuru.

"This is it. There is no turning back now." I said with fatalistic tone. Shizuru just nodded.

The drive seemed to take forever as we headed down the blacken pavement stretch out in front of us. The base was a glistening dot in the distance. I checked my pocket for my spare magazine and looked ahead as the dot turned into many geometric shapes as we got closer. Shizuru and I kept focused; the two deadliest killers in the world were working hand in hand, but to escape the lives that they lived. We arrived at the gate and the guard walked up to my car as Shizuru rolled drove the driver's window holding a concealed gun against the door. The guard looked in and I flashed my badge at him and he placed his hand on the door frame.

"Colonel Kuga nice escort you have here." The guard said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Yes she appears that way. I'm in hurry today. I've got a meeting at Intel HQ." I said leaning towards the guard touching Shizuru's side signaling her not to fire. The guard backed up, saluted, and let us in. I gave the directions to the building and soon enough there we were.

"Natsuki, I can help you, let me go in with you." Shizuru pleaded. I turned and looked at her.

"No, you need to stay in the car. There is no way I can get away with murdering the four generals of intelligence. Webstein will find out eventually. It has to be done this way. Trust me." I said looking at her. Shizuru nodded in agreement. I took a deep breath. I am a trainer killer. This is what I know. People may come with faces, but I don't care. I can be a heartless killer. I walked into the building and to the help desk seeing the private was busy on a phone call.

"Oh Masashi, don't. I promise I'll be here when you get here. Oh, I'm sorry Colonel Takeda. Of course, I'll have lunch and dinner with you. Why? Because you are just the most charming man I've ever met…" I cleared my throat letting the private know I was there. "Hold on, Masashi. Yes, how can I help you?"

I glared at the private. "The first thing you can do is get off the phone. You are in a government agency that deals with top secret material and your chatting with you boyfriend. That colonel KNOWS better. Get off the phone and then I want you to sign me in for my meeting." I said coldly. The private just hung up the phone without saying goodbye. She quickly signed my name down on the roster and waved me by. As I went down the hall I notice the security room was wide open. I paused and looked in seeing one guard.

"You by yourself today soldier?" I asked looking at the young soldier.

"Yes, sir!" The young soldier stuttered. My face remained blank as I nodded leaving the security room. As I walked into the room I analyzed the number of people in the room. Just as I suspected, only the generals showed up. This time I did not prepare a briefing statement. I was shooting from the hip in more ways than one. My gun's safety was already off and ready to go.

"Colonel Kuga, I suspect you have good news for us."

I smiled wickedly. "That I do sirs."

"So you have killed that Karisan spy?"

"No sirs, I have not."

"What is the meaning of this Colonel? Are you trying to be cute? Do you know the gravity of the situation?"

"That's right Colonel. If that woman were allowed to be left alive it would be disastrous to us all."

"Just for you actually." I said as I drew my gun quickly firing off four rounds killing the generals. I quickly whirled around and walked down the hallway towards the security room.

"Oh holy shit! Holy shit! Oh God they didn't train me for this. I just got out of training school. Where's the button? Damn it!"

I heard the young guard shouting as I walked in holding my gun out. I simply pulled the trigger leaving a bullet in his head right as he set off the Intel headquarters' alarm system. I turned my attention to the security panel, fired my remaining two rounds into it and reloaded my gun with my spare magazine. I quickly walked out to the hallway and headed towards the help desk where the private was.

"Oh Colonel Kuga, what should I do?" The girl asked in a frantic fashion.

"Die." I coldly said shooting her point blank blowing the back of her skull open sending brain matter all over the help desk area. Her dead body thumped against desk as it fell and eventually hit the ground. I had six bullets left as I approached the door to the outside. As I got outside I saw Takeda running up.

"KUGA!! Is everything alright in there? There is a private working the help desk. Is the private okay? Is she okay?" Takeda pleaded and I handed him my gun with the barrel still smoking. He looked at me with a confused expression.

"It's mess in there Takeda. I did all I could." I said void of emotion walking towards my car leaving Takeda behind. I got into the passengers seat and slammed the door never knowing my mistake.
