The room was dark and thick with the smell of cheap smoke; a heavy atmosphere hung from the shadowed walls. Darkness hung from the sol person within the room. Nothing could be seen but hazy outlines of anything that might be in the room. Then the door opens and a small slither of light slinks into the clouded room. A wing back chair can be made out along with the piercing eyes of the man seated within it. The man's shadow is tall and wide and he holds a cigar in his hand, the whole time his cold eyes never leave the intruder.
"Sir, I have come to inform you that sir Six has arrived."
"Send him in."
The man left only for another to reappear not even a minute later. This man was different though. Unlike the previous that seemed to hold a uninterested and calm air about him this one held a dangerous feel to him. His haunted red eye seemed to suck the life from all around him. Six walked in and kneeled before the shadowed man.
"Sir, we found the last location of Song Bird but it seems that it has been empty for some time now. We searched for any indication as the new location but it would seem that Thirteen is doing all he can to hide the three."
"That is not what I wanted to hear from you, number Six." The man took a draw of his cigar. "I put you in charge of this mission because you are the best Hunter we have. Why are you failing me now?"
"I will not FAIL!" Six almost yelled towards his boss. "Number Thirteen was not with us long but he held natural talent for almost every filled of work we do. He easily topped some of our best; it was the reason you, yourself held him as a favorite. It will only take time, but we will get him and Song Bird back! As you've said before boss, 'No one leaves Weapons'…"
"You better hurry it up number Six. I want my Song Bird and my Kitten back soon."
"Yes sir."
~/*/- Ryoma -/*/~
It had been a long while and it seemed that things here were complicated for poor Ryoma. Not only did his two first crushes happen to already be in a relationship with each other but now he also had a conceded Monkey King after him, a sometime lover Child of God wanting to monopolize him completely, two knew friends trying to keep him away from anyone else, and now people he hadn't seen since Jr. High School were showing up. What the hell, had they been waiting in the wood work just for him to return so they could freak him out?
Sighing Ryoma realized that it was time for him to check in with his manager again.
~Moshi, Moshi!~
"It's me Ryoma, Ra-chan"
~Ryo-kun! It's so good to hear from you; I was starting to get really worried. You know Ri and To miss you to; they've been crying for you since you left.~
"I'm sorry, but you know we both needed this. Give them my love though, please."
~Always, Ryo-kun. They're going to be so mad that they missed your call~ His manager laughed softly.
"I miss you three. It want be much longer till we are together again."
~I can't wait and I know they can't… we love you Ryoma so take care of yourself we need you.~
Ryoma laughed. "I'm not going anywhere trust me."
~Always.~
Ryoma knew that his manager was smiling. She was a very nice woman and he would do anything for her really. Other than his cousin Nanako, his manga was the only other person he could say he was a 100% certain he would kill for; there was also his two little ones but anyone harms them and he's sure death wouldn't be good enough for them.
Hanging up with his manager Ryoma turned around and was about to head out of his room when he ran right into someone upon turning around.
"What the-"
"Don't even finish that sentence Ryo-chan."
Looking up he followed the out stretched hand, up the arm and all the way to the face of Hisaki, Seika. She was dressed in a pair of slim black jeans and a maroon dress shirt, with her long red hair laying over her shoulder in a braid. She was a stunning beauty even when dressed so casually.
"Seika-chan?"
"Who where you talking with Ryo-chan?"
"My mangaer."
"You two seem close…"
"We are. She is very special to me." Seika eyed him slightly and he could tell that she truly just wanted to make sure he was in no trouble. "Honestly, nothing is wrong Sei-chan, but thank you for caring."
Seika smiled as she pulled him up and into her arms. "Of course Ryo-chan. I love you, we all do. You're like a brother to us."
"Would you like to go out with me to just have fun on the town? It has been a while since I've been able to just enjoy your company. Ronin and Gin are constantly trying to pull me into something, and if not them then the twin want me to join them; I've also been spending time with my old friends to… I miss our talks."
"As do I. So to make it up to me for ignoring me for, oh so long, Ryo-chan you must treat me to whatever I want today." Seika linked her arm with his and they headed out.
"Don't I do that any way…?" Ryoma sweat dropped; really he spent more money on her and Gina then he ever did anyone else, even himself.
The two had headed out and the first place they headed was the nice little café that the two plus Gina had gone to the day they were 'showing off' their new clothes. They had all three found it to be a very nice place with great coffee (Ryoma & Gina) and tea (Seika). Walking in they were not surprised to find that the place was moderately full; the place was good but never seemed overly crowded.
"Hello, my name is Angel and I will be your server. How may I help you today?"
"I'll have a Chai Latte."
"I'll have Spiced Chai tea."
The two watched as the woman left them and they faced each other. Ryoma smiled to her and Seika blushed slightly. Sure, she had no romantic feelings for her dear friend, but the man was just too handsome and beautiful for his own good. Really if not for the fact she was already deeply in love with someone then she might just have to seduce her friend.
Seika laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at you vixen?"
"Nothing my beloved Ryo-kun." She gave a breath taking smile towards him only proving to make him question with a raised brow. "So, where are you taking me today?"
