Ryoma just sat there as the girl cried frustrated tears.

"That bastard needs to pay for what he did to me. I hope he rots in hell! Do you want to know what he did to me? He—"

Ok pause. This is what I meant during my introduction. Read my lips, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR LIFE OR EXPERIENCE! I JUST WANT THE CASH! Everyday it's the same thing, 'Oh, he cheated on me,' 'he beated me,' or my favorite, 'I just hate him.' I'm starting to think that the only reason they are trying to kill the male species is because the male species are too smart to date them.

Ok, unpause…..

"robbed me of my life savings account after he made love to me. Oh and don't even get me started on the fact that he had a wife and two kids. She wailed.

Ryoma rubbed his forehead as he resisted the urge to role his eyes.

"Let me get this straight, you want me to kill the guy who robbed you? How are you supposed to pay me if you're broke?" Ryoma asked in a husky voice.

"I could make it worth your while. Trust me; I will be the best you ever had." Risa said with a purr to her voice. 'Oh really,' he thought as he took in her appearance. She had on a skimpy red dress that made her breast look saggy, her blond hair had numerous spilt-ends, and her face was highly unattractive.

"I think we are done here." Ryoma stated as he stood up.

"Wait! If you even dare leave me I will call the cops and tell them that you raped me and that you are a hired assassin." she threatened as she planted her feet in front of him. Ryoma looked at her before pushing her against the closed door roughly by her throat.

"What makes you think I won't flay your ass before you get the chance? I could make your murder look like an accident. Or better yet suicide." He whispered in her ear as he tightened his grip a fraction. She whimpered in fright as she turned her head away.

"Let that be the last time you threatened me." He commanded as he released her and exited out of the hotel room after he grabbed his jacket.

He soon ended up getting looks from the female population as he entered the lobby and for good reason. Ryoma was decked out in all black. He had on a black silk shirt that opened at the collar; black dickies dress pants, and a pair of black converse. He had an olive tone, layered black hair that appeared green when it hit the sunlight at a certain angle, and a very gorgeous face. Ryoma also had broad shoulders, a trim waist, wiry muscles that bunched up when he is using them, and was mostly on the lean side than muscular.

"Excuse me sir, but would you like to buy a box of Girl Scout cookies." A quiet voice asked. Ryoma glanced down and saw a girl with pigtails.

"Misa…" he murmured softly.

"Excuse me?" she questioned as she tilted her head to the side cutely. Ryoma's expression softened as he stared at her. He knelt down at her level and smiled.

"How much for one?" he questioned.

"They're three dollars for a box." She said as she smiled brightly. Ryoma's heart melted at the sight.

"How about if I buy the whole wagon?" Ryoma said as he smiled more gently. The little girl raised her fingers in an attempt to count how much money he would owe her.

"Is there a problem, Sonia?" a deep voice asked from behind him. Ryoma rose slowly and cautiously as he turned to face the new comer. He heard a quick intake of breath as he stared into a pair of brilliant blue eyes. The man had layered hair that was the color of milk-chocolate and a handsome face. He wore a gray turtleneck, dark blue jeans, and a white pair of tennis shoes.

"Uncle Fuji, Uncle Fuji! This man wants to buy the whole wagon!" the girl named Sonia said as she stretched her arms out wide. Ryoma grinned slightly at that.

"Is that so? Well then that means he owes you fifty-one dollars." Fuji said as he watched Ryoma's face. Who in turned became expressionless.

"That would be fifty dollars, Mister. I will take a dollar off since you're so pretty." She insisted as she pulled on his jacket. At that Ryoma threw his head back and laughed loudly.

"Well, I'm going to give you fifty two since you're so pretty." Ryoma said as the girl giggled. He pulled out his wallet and knelt in front of her before handing her fifty two dollars.

"Would you like to have dinner with us?" she asked as she blushed.

"I would love to, Sonia, but I must go." Ryoma stated as he rose elegantly. "You can send the cookies to this address." Ryoma said as he handed Fuji a slip of paper that had his alias name. As he slipped his glasses and began walking towards the exit, he heard a whimper. He turned to see big fat tears falling down Sonia's face. Ryoma failed to notice the smirk on Fuji's face.

"Where should we eat at, Sonia?" Ryoma asked in a resign voice. Immediately the tears stopped flowing and she flashed a smile. 'Crocodile tears,' Ryoma thought as she latched onto his hand, 'Clever.'

Oh Sonia, she reminded me so much of my Misa. With her cherubic face, long lashes, and beautiful black hair. At that moment I wanted nothing more than to protect her from the cruel fate that was dealt to my Misa. I would have skipped the dinner part of my memory, but you must see it to understand how my life soon changed at that point. It was an interesting dinner that I still love to think about every now and then.

I think I will name it, "Kids ask the darndest questions."
