Author's note: I'm back and the only reason why I was delayed was because my computer which I wrote everything on crashed on me finally. LOL. More like I dropped it on the floor. LOL. :'D let's get on with it?
Okay, so I re uploaded this chapter because someone was nice enough to tell me that I uploaded my other story's chapter onto this one as well. This is why I need you guys to review so if I mess up, you guys can tell me. BTW, this is going to sound very insulting, but the HitsuRuki community doesn't even review anymore onto stories. ._. PLEASE REVIEW. JESUS…
Assassinated Love:
Rukia tapped the vial that held a clear solution in it. She turned to the brilliant mind that had created it for her.
"You're sure it won't leave a trace?" Rukia asked and the scientist let out a cackle.
"When I have ever failed you Ms. Kuchiki? Now go on, I have more work to do." The scientist waved her off and Rukia smiled as she tucked it in the box specially designed for it.
"Thanks Dr. Kurotsuchi." Rukia pushed the door open and bumped into a tall man. She looked up and saw Akon, Kurotsuchi's assistant besides Nemu, staring at Rukia. The paperwork he had been holding had been dropped on the floor due to their accident.
"I'm sorry Akon." Rukia bent down to pick up the papers, Akon joining her immediately.
"It's fine Rukia." Rukia picked up the last paper and handed her stack to Akon who had began piling them neatly in his arms. Rukia flashed him a small smile and turned to the direction of her destination.
"Wait, Rukia, can I ask you something?" Akon asked and Rukia turned around with an arched brow.
"What is it Akon?" Akon rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
"I know you just recently broke up with your ex and stuff, but," Rukia already knew what direction the conversation was headed to.
"But?" She decided playing dumb was her best bet so that she wouldn't have to hurt his feelings by cutting him off directly.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out for a cup of coffee or something, sometime soon." Akon smiled at her awkwardly and Rukia fiddled with the hem of her sleeveless purple blouse.
"Look Akon, you're nice and everything. But I'm not really over my ex-boyfriend, so I'm going to have to decline your offer. Sorry." Rukia tucked a strand behind her ear, "I guess I'll be going now. I'll see you around Akon." Akon watched as Rukia turned on her expensive black pumps and clacked away. Akon shrugged.
"At least you tried Akon." Akon muttered to himself as he entered into Mayuri's office.
Next Day:
Rukia and Renji snapped the lids onto their coffees, an extra cup in Rukia's hand. Renji took a sip out of his as they walked to Rukia's destination.
"Are you going to be okay doing this?" Renji asked as Rukia touched her long honey brown waved wig and checked to make sure she still had her brown eye contacts in.
"I've been waiting for this chance for a long time." Rukia commented as they sat down on a fountain curb as Rukia reapplied her lipstick and blotted it.
"Do you think you'll be happier once you get rid of him?" Renji bit into his chocolate pastry and Rukia shrugged as she took a sip of her own coffee.
"Of course not, but it'll put me at peace, I won't have to worry about him hurting him anymore." Renji nudged Rukia playfully but Rukia still looked depressed and sighed deeply.
"What's wrong now?" Rukia took a sip of her coffee as Renji stared at her. Rukia looked out into the public, sighed, and took a sip of her coffee.
"I think after this assignment, I'm going to leave Karakura." Renji sputtered out his coffee and stared at Rukia in shock.
"What?!" Rukia took a sip of her coffee and frowned.
"There's nothing left for me here. I don't want to kill people anymore; I don't want to hurt people anymore." Renji relaxed a bit and understood why Rukia had made plans to leave. She was right, she wouldn't have anything if she quit the business, and she would be lonely and miserable here.
"Well, as your best friend, I would beg you to stay. But I do understand where you're coming from," Renji glanced at his watch, he nudged Rukia. "Hey, it's time for you to go." Rukia stood up and nodded as she turned on her heel.
"You know Rukia; don't give up because you know you can. Things will turn around." Rukia turned around, looked at Renji, and gave him a sad smile.
"Thanks Renji." Rukia began walking away, heading off to Kariya's office.
Rukia arrived shortly, breezed through clearance, and clipped on her badge that stated she was going to be a temporary assistant for Kariya today. Climbing quickly into the empty elevator, she checked up on her wig, and made sure her contacts were still in place. She looked down at the coffee cup designated for Kariya and took a deep breath.
She reached Kariya's floor and made her way to a secretary positioned in front of the elevator.
"Hi, where's Mr. Jin's office? I'm his temp for today." The secretary told Rukia the directions, which Rukia followed carefully, quickly becoming satisfied that she had found Kariya's office. Rukia knocked on the door, hearing Kariya's voice saying, 'Come in.' she opened the door and entered quietly. Giving him a fake smile, she bowed slightly.
"Good morning Mr. Jin, I'm Aimi, it's a pleasure working for you today. " Kariya stopped his writing, looked up at Rukia, folded his hands together, and smiled.
"Aimi," Kariya said, making Rukia just a little nervous, "Your name means love beauty, right?" Rukia nodded. "It suits you." Rukia sucked in her lips and withdrew them again as she threw him a cute smile.
"Thank you sir." Rukia bounded forward and gestured to the extra cup of coffee in her hand. "I got you coffee, I presume coffee with cream is your preference?" Kariya nodded and took the cup of coffee.
"You know people very well; coffee with cream is my choice of coffee." Kariya swirled it around, discreetly sniffing it, deeming it edible, he took a sip and relished in the taste of freshly brewed coffee.
"I guess you could say that," Rukia crossed one leg over the other and drank from her cup of coffee, "I'm guilty of asking around the office to see how you take your coffee." Kariya smiled and drank another sip of his coffee.
"So you're a woman who likes to study up on other people. I like that." Rukia was done smiling at him, but anything to keep Kariya happy so far, she would do.
"Thank you sir." Kariya inspected Rukia, her face, her body, and smiled.
"We should go out to dinner tonight." Rukia almost snorted at the idea, but kept her composure.
'He'll be dead by then, but keep on smiling Rukia.'
"Maybe, if I don't have anything to do." Rukia turned away, presenting her backside to him and feeling his eyes roam down south of her body.
"Well, you should try to make time, I'm interesting, if I do say so myself." Rukia stopped, turned her head and shrugged as she smiled.
"I guess I'll be the judge of that. I must get to work now. That's what I'm here for." Kariya waved her off while taking another sip of his coffee. Rukia rolled her eyes as she exited his office and entered the office next to his to keep an eye on him.
Rukia played around in her office for hours, pretending to be working on paper work while she looked at a computer screen that was hooked up to Kariya's office. He had shown no sign of dying so far, even after he had guzzled her special coffee after she left the office. She watched him throw away the cup and continue working for a couple of hours.
Rukia would go into his office to check up on him, braced herself for a comment he would say about letting him take her out to dinner, and walked out after finding he hadn't collapsed yet.
Rukia immediately dialed Mayuri and heard him pick up the phone.
"What is it Ms. Kuchiki?" Rukia growled into the phone quietly.
"Why is it taking forever for Kariya to collapse?" She heard Mayuri laughing into the phone, making her frown.
'If he finished the drink hours ago, give him thirty more minutes and he'll be slumped over dead." Rukia rolled her eyes and relaxed.
"Okay Kurotsuchi, bye." Mayuri hung up, Rukia twirled the pen in her fingers, and glanced at the clock and her camera.
Just thirty more minutes.
-30 minutes later-
Rukia got some files in hand and walked out of her office and saw everybody working, Rukia knocked on the door and went inside the office. She saw Kariya slumped over his desk; she locked the door and softly smiled. She went to his desk and checked his pulse. It was gone.
"This won't prove that he's dead at all." Rukia looked down and saw a letter opener, wrapped a tissue around the handle, and examined it. It was sharp enough. Gripping Kariya's dead head, she tilted his head back so he was sitting upright again, Rukia walked back so she was standing a good distance away from him. She raised the letter opener, looked at Kariya's neck and threw the letter opener with as much force as she could. She saw the letter opener jam into Kariya's neck with a little blood trickling down.
"I guess this means I'm done." Rukia went over to Kariya's dead body, took the tissue attached to the letter opener and stuffed it into her pocket. Rukia opened the door again and checked to make sure everybody was working.
Rukia sucked in a breath and let out a blood curdling scream, attracting workers to come and see why Rukia had screamed. The secretary and many other workers asked Rukia what had happened, but Rukia pointed a shaky finger to Kariya to which they looked inside and gasped in horror.
"Someone call the police!" The secretary yelled as a worker had already whipped out his phone and began dialing the appropriate number.
Rukia began fake crying and turned around to see Uryu standing there with a signal saying it was time to leave. Rukia felt Uryu grab onto her arm, pulling her out of the crowd, into an empty elevator waiting for them.
"Nice acting." Uryu commented as Rukia wiped up her fake tears and touched up on her make up.
"Thanks." The elevator bell dinged, Uryu and Rukia stepped out of the elevator down onto the lobby, and exited as they saw the cops and medics rushing in quickly passing by them.
Rukia stepped into Uryu's car, he started driving away quickly, giving Rukia time to take off her wig and contact lenses and dispose them in a small garbage bag.
"Are you happy that he's gone now?" Rukia looked out the window and remained silent for a while.
"No, I'm still not happy Uryu." Uryu got quiet and continued driving on as Rukia stared sadly at the window.
Author's note: You guys weren't probably expecting Kariya to die that way huh? Well, I thought I should've made it more dramatic, but then Kariya would've taken forever to die if he found out Rukia was trying to kill him. There is like 2 more chapters left of this story! Please review, thank you guys so much for sticking by me!
