Normal POV
Amu sighed as she munched on her orange popsicle. It was an usually hot summer day in Tokyo. She was relaxing in front of of her fan while waiting for Yoru to come in and bring her a new mission. Abruptly, Amu's door burst open behind her making her fall from her chair. "Big news Amu!" Yoru said looking at Amu from the ground.
"What is it?" Amu said getting up and plopping down on her swivel chair. She started to fan herself with her hand.
"We're moving to America to complete our mission of helping Ikuto!" Yoru cheered.
"America!" Amu's exclaimed happily.
"Yup! You see, this is what Kazuomi told me..." Yoru trailed off.
(Flashback)
"Ah Yoru! There you are!" Kazuomi called.
"Is there something that you need sir?" Yoru asked.
"Yes, I wanted to tell you that you and Amu are going to America to complete your mission to stop Ikuto from working with Halloween," Kazuomi said.
"I see, but why in America?" Yoru asked looking puzzled.
"It seems that Tsukasa, the leader of the Hellcats, has sent his two best assassins to go to America to complete a mission. One of them is probably Ikuto so it gives you the chance to talk to him. I have also noticed that there has been an unusual number of murders happening there lately, so I want you and Amu to check it out. If my assumptions are correct, then another assassin group has been created," Kazuomi explained.
"So basically like killing two birds with one stone?" Yoru concluded.
"Precisely, you leave in one hour," Kazuomi smirked.
"Yes sir!" Yoru saluted
(End of Flashback)
"So we're going to America? Which part?" Amu asked.
"Miami," Yoru grinned.
Amu's eyes lit up with pure excitement, "Yay! Let's leave right away!"
"Then pack your bags, we leave in 10," Yoru said before leaving.
(At America)
"Wow! So this is Miami! It's so cool!" Amu said looking from the marvelous buildings, to the green pom trees, to the white sandy beaches. There were people everywhere! Walking down the busy streets, dancing to the beats, and taking photos near the beaches.
"Amu! Focus!" Yoru barked.
"Sorry," Amu apologized sheepishly.
"Come one, we have to go to this hotel and wait for our bikes, then we can go around." Yoru said walking off in some direction.
Amu and Yoru continued to walk around while receiving strangle looks from many passerby's. Frequently there were people who pointed and whispered about their hair colour. Others would point to them, themselves and start to gossip. It wasn't every day that you saw two people who looked like models just walking around. When Yoru and Amu finally made it to their hotel, they were escorted to a special room on the top most floor.
There were a lot of windows everywhere that replaced the walls, The rooms were decent sized and looked nice. Both had decided to change into more plain and common looking clothes. Amu had dyed her hair brown and wore green contacts, while Yoru dyed his hair blonde and wore blue contacts. When a knock sounded on there door, Yoru had found out that there motorcycles were waiting downstairs in the parking lot.
Amu put on her black helmet and climbed on top of her black Kawasaki Ninja bike. Yoru repeated the action but got on top of his black Suzuki GSXR. They started their engines and raced off.
Their first destination was a casino. A card dealer there, was killed for reasons that should not bother any assassin group. Except he was an exception. The dealer's alias was Nicholas Reed. His public job was to be an innocent, happy-go-lucky, card dealer that got along with everyone. At night, he would change into Reize Kawasaki, a dangerous spy that worked for the assassin group Risen Apocalypse.
Amu and Yoru told the manager of the casino that they were investigators that went by the names Stella Vanderwolf and Rick Evans. While Amu asked people around about the crime, Yoru used his infrared scanner to find any evidence.
"Any new information Stella?" Yoru asked.
"No, it's the same as what Kazuomi told us. Nicholas Reed a.k.a Reize Kawasaki was a "nice dealer" who never had any enemies. On August 13, he died of food poisoning that he did not notice until it was too late. He thought thought it was just a cold that he caught, but as it became more severe he knew it was poisoning. Unfortunately it was already too late to treat it and he died while on the job." Amu said.
"If he's a well trained spy, then how did he not know that his food was poisoned? On second thought, why didn't he treat it?" Yoru asked confused.
"I don't know, I guess that's why Kazuomi sent us to check it out, it's not every day that a high rank spy can easily die of food poisoning," Amu sighed.
Yoru and Amu continued to talk while leaning on their motorcycles. Finally, Amu sighed then turned towards one of the brick walls and asked, "How long are you going to hide? We already know you're there anyway."
A timid looking girl with pale green hair walked from behind one of the walls. Her hair was short and her fringes covered one eye. One aqua eye flickered from Yoru to Amu and back.
"So is there something you need? Why were you eavesdropping us?" Yoru asked.
Offended, the girl said childishly, crossing her arms, "I wasn't watching eavesdropping! I was just hiding here while you were talking!"
A vein grew on Yoru's head, "That's basically eavesdropping isn't it!" he yelled irritatedly.
"No! It's called hiding-somewhere-while-someone's-talking! Duh!" The girl said stubbornly.
Amu laughed, and put a hand on a fuming Yoru's shoulder. "Chill Rick, it's not like we were talking about anything secretive anyway,"
"Exactly! Besides it's not like I heard you talk about the murder of that casino's card dealer, Nicholas Reed!" The girl accidently slipped out. She immediately covered her mouth in hopes that they didn't hear her. Of course, she didn't know they were assassins with heightened senses, like hearing.
Amu smiled devishly,"Oh? So you were eavesdropping? My, my, that's not a very good habit for a girl you know?"
Before the green haired girl could speak another word, she was interrupted by a man looking for her. "Oh, there's my dad. I have to go now. Bye!" She said before running away.
"Well that was interesting," Amu laughed.
"Really? I thought it was annoying," Yoru sulked.
"Haha indeed," Amu agreed while laughing more.
Amu and Yoru raced back to the hotel where they called up Kairi, their main computer hacker and profile searcher. They asked him if there were any videos showing the night of Reize's death. He told them that were was one he found, and showed them the clip. The video was short and only lasted about 5 minutes. There was nothing out of the ordinary until Reize dropped dead on the floor. Amu watched the video many times, while Yoru continued to talk to Kairi on any other leads or assassin groups that could have been involved.
"Yoru come here!" Amu suddenly yelled.
Yoru was immediately by Amu's side, "What is it?"
"Okay watch this spot very closely," Amu said pointing to a spot on the screen.
Amu quickly rewinded the video then zoomed in for a closer look. Yoru's eyes watched the scene closely then his eyes widened.
"No way!" Yoru exclaimed.
"Yes way, with this, we have to inform Kazuomi now that we know," Amu said closing her laptop while dialling a number on her cellphone at the same time.
Suddenly, men clad in black broke in through their windows and surrounded the duo. Amu and Yoru immediately reached for their guns in the room and started to shoot them. -BANG BANG- Many went down but more men came through the window from the now visible helicopters. Soon enough, Amu and Yoru ran out of bullets.
Amu grabbed a coat rack from the corner of the room and started to fight. One man tried to punch her so she ducked and rammed him in the stomach which caught three more men. She continued to ram them with full speed until they fell through window. Someone creeped from behind and tried to hit her with a crowbar. She quickly used the rack to block it. The man tried to push her down, so Amu suddenly knelt down and grabbed the man's sleeve. She threw him over her head and out the window.
Yoru grabbed the nearest thing next to him which was a long...Lamp. The men surrounding him started to laugh at his weapon of choice. Yoru simply smirked and smashed the top of the lamp against the ground. A huge sharp blade was revealed and the men's laughed immediately ceased. Yoru ran at top speed towards the men and pierced them all until they were covered with nothing but blood.
Unfortunately both Amu and Yoru's weapons gave way and the gang was closing in on them. Leaving no choice, Amu had to use one of her emergency smoke grenades and escape through the window.
As soon as she did though, they were caught in a huge net that was being held up by four helicopters. Amu and Yoru tried to climb out of the net, but it was filled with some sort of slippery liquid that would make them fall back down.
If they used the knives hidden in their shoes to cut the rope, there was a seventy-five percent chance that they would die since there are no buildings to jump too. There was also a twenty-five percent chance that if they do jump and land accordingly they would dive right into one of the pools or near the beach, and survive. Not taking their chances, Amu and Yoru sat in the net patiently. They stopped at a remote mountain many kilometres from Miami.
"A snow white mountain in a one of the hottest countries on the planet huh? You don't see that everyday," Yoru joked.
Amu and Yoru were blindfolded and forced to walk in chains. Amu listened carefully to the footsteps of the people around her and the envirement. Yoru was listening to the voices and conversations around him, just in case it might provide any useful information.
As they continued to walk, Amu noted that they were not walking on the snow anymore but on some sort of glass floor. Since it did not take them that long to get inside, that means that this room was the closest to the exit. 20 steps later they passed by a door that opened seemed to open vertically, they could tell this from the sound of the door lifting. Yoru heard the roar of engines and the sound of metal hitting metal in the background.
'This is probably where they store all of their vehicles," Yoru thought.
Someone tugged on Amu and Yoru's chain which jerked them forward. Amu noticed that her blindfold got darker which meant that they entered a dark room, probably a prison or jail. Yoru and Amu were brought down to their knees as the guards shackled their arms above their heads in a tight lock. Their blindfolds were ripped from their heads. The first thing Amu noticed was the man in a nice white suit sitting in front of them.
Amu POV
The dim light in the room helped me notice a little bit of the man's face. Straight away I knew they were thugs part of the Spanish Mafia due to the facial appearance and through the language the man was speaking towards his henchmen. The man in the suit turned his attention towards me and smiled.
"Bienvenido a los dos. Mi nombre es Amidio y yo soy el líder de la mafia española aquí en Miami. Espero que disfruten de su estancia aquí," the man greeted.
"What did he say Amu?" Yoru asked utterly confused.
"Welcome, you two. My name is Amidio and I am the leader of the Spanish Mafia here in Miami. I hope you enjoy you stay here," I translated.
"Oh well tell him it's hard to enjoy are stay since we're being chained up," Yoru growled.
"Mi pareja dice que es difícil disfrutar de nuestra estancia ya que nos están encadenados," I told the man.
"Lo siento mucho por la hospitalidad mal pero ya ves, se trata de órdenes," the man said sheepishly.
"He said he's very sorry for the bad hospitality, but they are orders," I said.
"Orders? From who?" Yoru asked.
"¿Quién ordenó que nos secuestran y nos llevan aquí?" I asked Amidio.
"Lo sentimos, que es confidencial," Amidio apologized.
"He said he's sorry, it's confidential," I told Yoru.
Yoru sighed, "Ask him how long we're supposed to stay here Amu,"
"¿Hasta cuándo se mantendrá en cautiverio?" I asked.
"Hasta que el jefe nos da la orden de matar(1)," Amidio said before leaving.
My eyes widened as Amidio left. Yoru looked concerned and asked me if I was okay. I told him that I was fine, and about the information that Amidio told me.
"So that means we have to get out of here," Yoru whispered to me.
"I wouldn't move if I were you," one of the henchmen said.
"And why not?" I asked sarcastically.
"Why don't we test that theory?" the henchman said moving towards me. He took a rat that was scurrying around and pushed it against the cold metal a little bit. As soon as the rat bent the metal, there was the spark and the rat started to crackle and sizzle until it died. Yoru and I just stared at the rat in horror.
"So you see, just move one inch and..." he used his hand and made a gesture of slitting his throat.
Yoru and I looked at each other with urgency, a million thoughts circling through our heads. One main thought was on top of it all.
"We. Are. So. Screwed."
(1) Matar means kill you (if you translated the spanish and it doesn't make sense, don't blame me, blame google translate)
