Rose Hunter 5

Yuki awoke to the feeling of cold pressure on his neck; almost like a hand. Still slightly disoriented and confused he didn't think much of it, until suddenly his memory of the three large men came back to him in a rush. In almost the blink of an eye Yuki had rolled, jerking away from the touch, and was crouched in a fighting position, preparing for an attack. The sudden movement was apparently too much for his body to keep up with and he was over come with dizziness, swaying dangerously, before using the wall next to him for support. A light chuckle made him jerk his head up, body tense, eyes cautious, before turning to disbelief. Instead of one of the giant, knife wielding men he had expected, he was face to face with his own target!

"For an assassin you don't seem very deadly. It appears you can barely keep your balance," said the man, smirking widely.

Yuki was about to reply with a scathing retort when he realized that his target was aware of his occupation. He decided to play dumb for the moment and see if he could make the man think he was mistaken.

"Me? An assassin? Yeah right!" Yuki laughed "And the black plague was the common cold."

"I don't know why you think that's funny. The ease with which you took out that drunkard was no laughing matter. I would almost feel threatened by you if I knew I wasn't better," said Kamijo confidently.

"Excuse me?" asked Yuki getting slightly pissed off and forgetting his attempt to fool Kamijo. "How on earth do you think you're better than me? I've killed countless people and have never been caught!"

"You may have killed countless people, but you have never been the targeted. You no doubt know you are not the first assassin that has been sent to kill me. I have had as many assassins try to kill me as you have had victims, and none of them lasted more than a week after going up against me," stated Kamijo, with a slightly proud tone.

"Well your days on this earth are numbered now that I'm your killer. None of those "assassins" hold a candle to me," retorted Yuki arrogantly.

Kamijo laughed out loud at this comment before saying, "Yes, and I'm sure your falling unconscious when those three men were about to kill you was all part of some brilliant scheme of yours to defeat them."

Once again Yuki made to reply with a scathing remark, but stopped when he realized the men were no where in sight. Before he could ask what happened to them however, Kamijo filled in the blanks.

"If you're wondering what happened to them, don't worry, they won't be bothering anyone ever again." The way in which Kamijo spoke caused a shiver to run down Yuki's spine, but he refused to let this man intimidate him.

"I don't understand. Why would you bother to save me from them? I would have been out of your hair that much faster and with much less effort on your part."

"Because, my dear little assassin," answered Kamijo "It would be no fun for me if you died so quickly. You see I have grown quite bored in these past few cent- months, and you are the perfect thing to put a little excitement back in my life."

"I don't buy it," replied Yuki matter-of-factly "no one is that care free with their lives that they would allow an assassin to try and kill them for the fun of it. And they especially wouldn't allow me to live after finding out who I was."

"Well if it makes you feel any better," commented Kamijo "I debated on whether or not to kill you on the way here. I doubt you even noticed that we are in a different ally then the one you fainted in earlier, but I had to carry you here before someone discovered the bodies. It wouldn't have been much fun if you got caught by the police so early in the game."

"Wait, you carried me here?" question Yuki, disgust clear in his voice, though it was directed at himself for be so unaware while unconscious. Usually if someone came within five feet of him while he was asleep he would be aware of it and wake up instantly. However this man had been able to approach him, pick him up, and carry him with out him even realizing it. It made Yuki feel extremely helpless and vulnerable, and he didn't like it.

"Yes, and I can assure you I debated quite a bit with myself on whether or not I should just kill you and get you out of my hair right away. It would have been quite an easy task for me to kill you then as well, to just reach out and brake your neck, or possible just cut off your air supply…so many possibilities…" mused Kamijo "But once again I realized that it just wouldn't be much fun for me if I killed you right away. So here you are alive and breathing."

"You're going to regret not killing me when you had the chance," stated Yuki coldly "No matter how skilled you think you are, I have never failed to take out a target, and you will not be the black mark on my record."

Yuki had to repress a strong urge to run as Kamijo smiled. It was just like in the first picture he had seen of the man. The smile looked harmless on the outside, but something about it screamed dangerous!

"I'm very much looking forward to this little game of ours, so please try not to make me regret letting you live my little assassin," said Kamijo with a hit of mock disappointment. Then he turned and walked out of the ally.

We shall see who regrets this in the end, thought Yuki before cautiously turning to disappear into the black ally.
